Nivriti Agaram, another student, differs by stating “I think the ending was really good. All of the scenes were calm or cliffhangers, which was a good way to end the series. It was feel good ending that was heartwarming.”


Surabhi Ashok said “I think that the ending brought the whole universe full circle. It was very satisfying but also sad and bittersweet.”


In the end, the record-breaking movie Avengers: Endgame was an unforgettable film that has already left a mark on millions of people. It will go down in history for holding multiple, astonishing records, and for being the end of an era.
