Avengers: Endgame Film Analysis
In the Avengers: Endgame, different scenes showcase the film’s cast acts of generosity and sacrifice for the greater good. In one of the scenes where the Black Widow (Romanoff) and Hawkeye (Barton) visit Vormir, they meet Red Skull, who lays out the conditions of obtaining the Soul Stone, which involved sacrificing a loved one. Black Widow sacrificed her life to save the lives of billions of people who had been killed by Thanos. Her actions aligned with their goal of undoing the evil acts committed by Thanos against the people. Stark also displays virtuous by agreeing to travel in the past after theorizing the quantum realm that made time travel a possibility. Although he is in a dilemma of risking leaving his wife Pepper and daughter Morgan, he agrees to take the risk due to the pain of losing Peter Parker.
In the film Avengers: Endgame, revenge is a virtue as it is used to save the lives of a large mass of people who were destroyed by Thanos through the Infinity Stones. Although in most cases, revenge is morally perceived as a vice, it could be justified to be a virtue depending on the intentions of conducting vengeful actions. The Black Widow is majorly involved in the re-integration of the numerous superheroes in the film to form a team of avengers ready to undo the works of Thanos conducted during the previous Avengers: Infinity War film. Thanos’ selfish acts are pegged on his greed for power and control of the entire human race. The avengers in the film utilize their unique capabilities to combat the war set by Thanos collaboratively. They aim to obtain the Infinity Stones, which guarantee the reversal of the defeat and undoing of the evil acts conducted by Thanos against humanity. Although each of the avengers has their fears and challenges they are dealing with, they decide to put the benefit of the entire human race before their needs.
Their vengeance acts could be justified by the fact that none of them employed their might and unique powers to achieve anything of personal interest. They even go to the extent of implementing the theoretical ideas of the quantum realm to try accessing the past and making several modifications that would probably alter the events of the present time. They took the risk of trying out this method regardless of being aware of the common dangers if the time machine backfired on them. The vengeance set against Thanos, the villain, is justified as a virtue since the avengers also lost some of their team members along the way. Still, they soldiered on without losing their focus on the ultimate price of obtaining the Infinity Stones and reversing the disintegration of humanity as done by Thanos. It is also evident that revenge was a virtue as some of the avengers, such as Stark, went to the extent of terminating their own lives for the destruction of Thanos, who would have continued to conduct heinous acts against humanity.
