11 years of Marvel movies is a long time, and what a beautiful time it has been. Like any momentous decade-ish occasion, no one is where or who they were all those years ago. Some look different (just not Paul Rudd), some evolved as characters, and some were plucked from obscurity to become some of our favorite on-screen characters.
The Avengers may not have had a classic American high school graduation and reunion, but we'd like to give them some superlatives we can look back on fondly as this chapter comes to a close.

Torn apart by time and space, reunited only to be separated by death (and Sharon??), these two have been chasing a deserved happy ending since 1942, and we couldn't be happier for them.
You cannot argue with odds of 14,000,605 to 1. The man delivered.

He could've done this before Endgame, but BruceHulk is a monumental achievement that can no longer be overlooked. Selfies for everyone at the ceremony!
Captain Marvel, Gamora, Nebula, Scarlet Witch, Okoye, Mantis, Pepper Potts, and Shuri showed upto have each other's backs during the Battle of Upstate New York, and we couldn't have cheered louder.

He deserves more recognition for the phrase "time heist," which is so whimsical but also accurate! Good work, buddy.
He's your friendlyneighborhood Spider-Man, a sweet boy who's never too busy fighting aliens to politely introduce himself to Carol Danvers.

Thor never said "Yas queen," but it's obvious subtext to his decision to abdicate Asgard's throne and crown Valkyrie the new ruler.

He's in the movie for all of two seconds with no lines, but Fury's triumphant return from the dust meant everything to us.

Through thick and thin and Budapest and New York and weird hair – these two have survived a lot together, right up until the end.
Just keep Nakia off the battlefield if you want this king to stay focused.
More superheroes need to fuck with hair ties, but we respect Gamora's evergreen dye job and that it doesn't impede her ability to take ass and kick names. So is she dusted now, or...?

Hell yes.
Avengers: Endgameis now in theaters.
