My FIRST TIME Watching AVENGERS: ENDGAME!! (Part One) 

Watching Scott realize he's been gone far longer than he thought when he sees grown up Cassie is heartbreaking. You have to remember, it's not just 5 years of her childhood he's missed, he was in regular jail, he was in superhero jail, he was on house arrest. He's missed so much time with her, and now, she's grown up, and he's missed it all. Makes his, "you're so big" line hit a little harder and I feel like Paul Rudd' delivery of that line was spot on.

Some of us had to wait 10 years for this haha

Bruce: "Don't do anything to disrupt the past." Steve Rogers: "Got it. Hail Hydra, Bucky is alive."

Seeing this film in a theater with a full audience was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

"I've never seen Back to the Future....." Well now we know what the next movie series should be lolol :D

I haven't seen anyone comment on Natasha's hair but it looks to me like she has let her natural hair grow out and hasn't styled it intentionally in years. For me that speaks a lot about what she's put herself through.

I really appreciate your reaction to Thor. I gained a lot of weight after losing my parents and Thor's journey in this movie hit me quite hard and it bugs me that so many people seem to see it only as a fat joke.

32:30 is such an iconic line. Even though Thor was depressed and out of shape he was still worthy. Such an amazing message.

"They're not killing Tony" famous last words

Given how Alex has trouble remembering certain things throughout the franchise, I’m gonna use my comment to answer any questions he has throughout the video and point out any and all callbacks and various details. This is gonna be a fun one “Is my boy on house arrest” yes, in Infinity War they establish that both he and Scott are on house arrest due to breaking the Sokovia Accords in Civil War Notice how Nebula was really confused by shaking Tony’s hand. When she’d lose to Gamora she’s get a piece of herself replaced with machinery. She’s not used to “sportsman like conduct” *Cap’s eye as they head to space* “That’s a cool shot” if I remember right, that’s meant to be a nod to the movie Interstellar which had a similar shot Infinity War started with Tony telling Pepper he dreamt they had a kid named Morgan and 5 years later that dream came true 🥹 “Thor’s depressed. He’s self medicating” yes! So many people laugh at his “I went for the head” and think his character is just meant to be a joke. Glad to see someone identify right off the bat that he’s suffering from PTSD and depression The Big Lebowski joke is really meta since Jeff Bridges starred in that film and was also Obadiah Stain in the very first Iron Man Hulk’s time travel logic confused everyone and it took me 2-3 years to finally realize what he meant. Say you decide to time travel from 2022 back to 1970. Because time still continues as normal for you 1970 onward isn’t “the past” but rather your new future. 2022 is the past for you, since all those events in your life already happened. And because technically 1970 onward is your future anything you do can’t alter what you already did in your past even though time wise 1970+ happened before 2022. Hopefully that makes sense. It’s way easier to explain with a diagram but I can’t do that here 😅 Fun fact: the production team was going to use practical suits for their time travel attire but they weren’t ready in time for filming so for most, if not all the scenes involving them, those time travel suits are completely CGI “What’s this one’s name again?” The Ancient One Thor shocking Tony’s arc reactor back into working was only possible because Tony modified his reactor and suits to harness electricity after his encounters with Whiplash in Iron Man 2 It might seem kinda dumb, but ever since this came out Thor’s “I’m still worthy” has helped me a lot in dealing with my own depression. It’s a phrase that reminds that no matter how miserable and hopeless I feel, I’m still worthy of having my friends and family. And most importantly I’m still worthy of love Can’t wait for part 2. I’ll be here with more details and callback explanations 😁

So many people miss it but when Nebula beats Tony at that game, she looks almost disbelieving because all her life she was never able to win.

My wife and I hosted a watch party for Endgame for a few friends who plowed through the MCU in chronological order. We did the whole “theater experience” at home it was awesome seeing peoples reactions who’ve never seen it before.

The Loki that took the Tesseract, is the same Loki that we follow in the Marvel TV series Loki. So if you want to know what happens with him, you have to watch that series.

"Tony Stark as a dad is the greatest thing I've ever seen". - Alex Me too. He plays the dad so perfectly. What a talented actor. Marvel fanatics can tell me but its probably because of his love for his own father. Through him Tony learned how to be a great father. RDJ absolutely kills it. What a performance.

I was crying during all of the movie. And that Hawkeye opening scene was such a gut punch

This movie is the best theater experience I ever had opening night. It’s 11 years and 22 movies of set up that gets paid off in about the most satisfying way possible and in my opinion is fan service done nearly perfectly.

Bro you gotta watch the Back To The Future trilogy next! It's a series that can be viewed casually or also deeply dissected looking for little details and stuff. It's also wild and a lot of fun. You'll definitely enjoy it. I enjoy it even more on repeat viewings, picking up little nuances and details.

Even watching the clips in this video evoke emotion in me years later. Still one of my fav Marvel movies.

I’ve watched countless reactions to these movies! You are by FAR the best! Great reactions and editing for sure…but most importantly you pick up on all the details and leave in all the key stuff people like me enjoy seeing folks react to! Great job bro!

This is a movie that just has me constantly bawling; it is such a fantastic, insanely crafted movie. I will always remember watching it in the theater for the first time and what an experience it was. Can't wait for Part 2

Months of waiting and now it’s time!

Scott Lang & Tony Stark had some seriously adorable children. Rocket being condescending towards Scott is hilarious.

I spent the whole year between Infinity War and End Game stalking all the Marvel Nerd expert channels on here, grasping for every theory, every break down of every teaser trailer... I COULD'T WAIT!

My mother died suddenly in 2014, the day I was supposed to go visit her. I never got to say goodbye, I love you, nothing. I would give almost anything to have one more conversation with her, and hug her one last time. She was an exceptional mother and human being.

Near the beginning Tony is playing paper football with Nebula. Later during the time heist he has to accurately flick Ant-Man as part of their plan. Little details like that are all over the place in the MCU and I love it.

“They’re not killing Tony” famous last words

I would indeed give anything to talk to my late father one last time. This was the last movie we watched together before cancer took him 5 months later and the last I ever watched in theaters. The memory of our conversation after the show will be with me forever when he said I was worthy of being anything I wanted to be, he would always be proud.

i’m not a marvel fan but was taken to see this movie when it was in the cinema & i went in knowing nothing about anything… cinema was packed out & you could just feel the energy in the atmosphere from everyone’s excitement… movie was pretty good. my first ever marvel movie

Oh man, I watched your whole patreon reaction, so I'll have more to say on Friday, but love your reaction, this movie is the climax of an 11 year long slow build up, and it's mind-blowing as a result. So many callbacks and cameos to all of the other movies, it's so satisfying.

This movie made me cry more than any movie. All throughout it I had moments where I had slight tears. The end........ FUCK MAN I CRIED SO HARD!

Now, waiting for part 2 🥺🙈 how is it, the good feeling and de emotions i feel, to see someone else see it for the first time. 😂 Its more joyful then if I have just seen the movie again. 👍🥰 You are the best Alex. Love from Sweden 💞

Oh, Damn I was so into this video when it ended it was a double knuckle uppercut to my gooch!! Great reaction now impatiently awaiting part 2 😆

Fun fact Joe and Anthony Russo used to direct the tv show Community for awhile and so you see lots of cameos from actors in that show in marvel movies they direct including “Leslie Chow” from the Hangover. His characters name is “Senior Chang” in Community

My guy complaining about waiting two weeks for Endgame and we had to wait forever.

Fun fact, Joe Russo, one of the directors of Endgame & Infinity War, as well as directing with his brother, made a cameo in Endgame as one of the survivalist support group members with Captain America. And Tony’s lakeside cabin is the same cabin in Godzilla King of the Monsters. Oh, and we have a rat that accidentally pushed the activation button to bring back Scott to thank for pretty much saving the world. That rat was a hero.

Man meeting Tony's little girl made ME cry. You right. She's PAINFULLY adorable.

I watched this movie…300 times…the year it came out. I gave 900 hours of my life to this movie. No regrets.

Been waiting for this. The magnum opus of any and all comic movies

“How many people wanna go back and talk to their dead relatives” dude I had a dream where I had a full conversation with my great grandpa and I never saw a picture of him before. A couple weeks later my mom was going through a photo album and I asked who that guy is. One of the strangest things I’ve experienced

Idk how many of you noticed this but on alex's glasses, theres almost always 1 little reflection, i keep thinking its a friggen tear drop when its in that position. Guess i'm gonna have to patreon this last half. I aint waiting no more. :D

Dude, " Thor is shaped like a wisdom tooth." I lost it! Thanks for that! You must do back to the future, one of the best scripts ever in my opinion.

The Russo Bros directed this movie. They also directed a lot of episodes of the comedy Community (awesome show by the way). Leslie Chow played by Ken Yeong was also in the show Community. In fact a lot Community actors got cameos in the Russo Bros MCU movies. There’s even another cameo in this movie. When Cap is back in 70’s shield base in the elevator with the suspicious African American woman. She played Shirley on Community.

@15:16 I love the look on Morgan’s face after Tony uses the word “sh-it” after being told that that’s Mommy’s word.

I’ve never understood Steve’s logic Yes, move on from the person that gave you the best memorys and life that you ever could’ve hoped for

Thor needs a hug indeed

If you think about it, when Dr. Strange gave up the time stone and said, “we’re in the endgame now”, he was putting a lot of faith in that rat.

Imagine waiting 11 years for all of these. Love your reactions.

@Alex Hefner: I have just six words for you: Watch Back to the Future immediately!!!

The "Don't, don't give me Hope" broke me into tears for Hawkeye! This is All in, definitely my favorite movies!! Ohhhh Alex,, get ready for part 2. 🤗❤️

So happy you finally got to see this! I've been excited right along with you! It was like watching it for the first time all over again. Looking forward to part 2!

BROOOOOOOOOOOOO, i need part 2 right now

the hulk explanation is pretty much how the "X-Men: Day's Of Future Past" movie works.

I will be watching this as soon as part two is up. Marathon:)

What gets me is when Scott is looking for Cassie's name and you see it scroll behind him and his name is not there, and 2 seconds later his name is suddenly there. It wasn't a different pillar or anything they just thought we wouldn't notice.

Fun fact about those time travel suits that they were wearing: They don't actually exist. They were entirely CGI. They were added to the scenes in post-production.

Tony's "I lost the kid." kills me everytime.

Thank You Alex for letting me be your wing man on this MCU adventure. This emotional rollercoaster shouldn't be experienced alone.

Even a depressed Thor is a 'cool' Thor! I am on the edge of my seat...I can hardly wait for part 2 grrrr!!! I forgot it was Monday seeing you was a happy surprise, that smile is infectious Alex~thank you.

Also, something I never noticed, but did after I read about it and looked for it. The intro music has half as many instruments playing, to reflect the blip.

7:47 Thor's "I went for the head" breaks my heart.

Saw this movie 3 times in theaters and it still brings me so much happiness and hype lol, especially with you enjoying it so much! Glad you went on this Marvel journey, its a fun (and emotional) ride

Good...Good.....Let the tears flow through you 😁

When Scott went to Avengers Facility He was expecting Tony not Steve that's the reason why he introduced himself so hard because in Civil War Tony answered him "who are you?"

When captain was in therapy with people (first of all the guy who speak is the director of the movie himself), he said she cried before entry and he cried just before dessert. I think it's metaphoric because the viewers cried at the begining of the film with the firts scene, and we cried at the end of the movie again.

Oh boy, now the fun begins. Such a good movie. The scene with Thor and his Mom... damn I love it so much.

Back to the Future is iconic and a must see trilogy.

I went and saw this movie at the midnight showing and made the mistake of taking an edible before. Hulk explaining time travel almost broke my mind.

I didn't get to watch the premier I know, but the excitement is evident 100%, to the fact that I thought Alex was going to pop a vein or something just after the intro music.

So again here I am again, waiting for part 2 to drop before even beginning to watch this one...

Can't wait for Endgamel part 2 😂. Seriously though, love your reactions dude!

The beginning of the movie if you listen closely you can hear the birds get quieter meaning even the animals population was also reduced, adds more impact to the scene.

On the absolute win / aging thing, imagine using that on someone who's had a life-changing injury by just reverse aging them to before it happened to them. Even if your research doesn't do what you expect, if it results in something positive, that's still a great outcome.

I've been admittedly very excited to be seeing your reaction to this movie since i found your channel. I was so bored just now, i open up youtube and bam first recommendation. Lets go indeed :)

The people who got snapped are gone from the marvel logo intro thing.

Fun fact Jack Champion is the kid on the bicycle who Scott asked “what happened here?” To he also plays Spider from Avatar: The Way of Water and “Ethan Landry” from Scream VI.

20:36 is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Tony has been making more pop-culture references after Peter blipped. Peter was always the one to make pop culture references. Like Tony made one about Back To The Future and Big Lebowski Maybe it’s just a coincidence idk lol

This movie on opening night was insane. It's a feeling I don't think we can replicate until kang dynasty and secret wars

Bro I don’t think I can wait u need to drop part 2 tomorrow 😂

watching this in the theater with my best friend was my favorite cinema experience so far in my entire life. absolute peak of the MCU imo, it is a masterpiece

25:34 Damm Rockit keeps it real as fuck.. Damm Rockit keeps it real as fuck - Alex Hefner

Instead of pushing Lang through time, they pushed time though Lang, that's why he turned into a kid, an old man, and a baby

Hold up Alex... YOU'VE NEVER SEEN 'BACK TO THE FUTURE ' ?!?!?! Dude, you've GOT to put that movie on the top of your list of movies to react to!!! It's a classic, it's funny, & it's a damn good flick. And one last reason that YOU, really gotta see this movie... There's a character in this movie that has a laugh that sounds very much like yours! I noticed a while ago, that your laugh sounded really familiar. It took me a while to figure out who it sounded like, but when I was watching your 'Dark Knight' reaction, it occurred to me... So, when I was watching this reaction, I was thinking, "I wonder if Alex has seen 'Back to the Future'?" And strangely enough, a couple minutes later, you said, "I've never seen 'Back to the Future." With all the 'Back to the Future' references, I thought I'd clue you in that you've gotta see that movie, (you'll love it, I promise!) Plus, you've gotta hear that laugh in the movie. I think it's very similar to your laugh, but I'm curious to see if anyone else thinks that your laugh, sounds like Marty"s dad! PLEASE! ...At least put the movie in your poll! Though, in my opinion, you should react to 'Back to the Future' ASAP!!! ...I mean, it's only been out for about 40 years... I'd hate for you to accidentally have the movie ruined, because of SPOILERS! LOL... I'll stop bugging you about this, for now... But, you're missing out if you don't watch that flick! Oh, btw...If you do decide to watch it, keep in mind that it is a trilogy, & all 3 movies are great! If you want to get the full story, you'll have to watch all 3 films. But it's worth the time, & after 3 films, they actually 'stick the landing,' as they say... Ok, back to 'ENDGAME!' 🤘🤪😳🤯

YOOOOOOO! LETS GOOOOOO! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT SINCE YOUR 1ST IRON MAN REACTION! Thanks Alex!

I love the elevator scene. Cap knows how to kick ass. But more importantly, Cap know when to kick ass.

ENDGAMEL? 🤣 Amazing reaction Alex, keep it up and we'll all be thrilled to see part 2

FINALLY. Here come the bad times 😭

*Opening/Hawkeye Scene* The reason they didn't show this scene at the end of Infinity War is because they felt it'd throw off the momentum/flow of the ending suddenly cutting to him, away from the battle. So opening Endgame with it was the perfect place to put it. *Derelict in Space/Rescued by Captain Marvel* If you were wondering why the Iron Man helmet was so... incomplete is because Tony used the nonessential nanotech material to repair/maintain the ship. *Thanos Alone/His Principles* So yeah, Thanos sincerely thought he did the right thing, and destroyed the Infinity Stones so they could never be used again. *Five Years Later* 8:32 That's Joe Russo, one of the Russo Brothers and directors of this movie. 9:22 And yup, that's a (not very well) disguised Dr. Ken Jeong. 13:28 Planck Scale: A set of units of measurement defined exclusively in terms of four universal physical constants: 1. The speed of light in a vacuum (or "c") 2. The gravitational constant ("G") 3. The reduced Planck constant ("ħ") 4. The Boltzmann constant ("kB") Deutsch Proposition: Simply put, this term refers to exactly what Hulk said ("The past becomes your new future"). That is, when you travel to the "past" you are actually traveling to the present in another, alternate timeline. So relative to you, you have not gone into the past, but continued forward in time as normal. Which is why "changing the past does not change your future." 20:00 The Japanese Yakuza guy is played by Hiroyuki Sanada (who is most memorable recently for playing Hatori Hanzo/Scorpion in Mortal Kombat). 20:37 Funny reference to The Big Lebowski (a movie that starred Jeff Bridges, who played Obadiah Stane in the MCU). 21:10 Think of a movie theater playing the same movie in two different auditoriums, but one started half an hour earlier. You're in the later showing, and decide to go the other auditorium. To you, you haven't gone into the past. But to somewhere else where the "past" events are still happening. 23:30 Fun fact: Those white and red time travel suits are 100% CGI (the design of the suits hadn't been finished when the scene was filmed). *New York, 2012 (Events of The Avengers)* 24:30 "The Ancient One" (played by Tilda Swinton). As for how she knew about Strange already, remember that she held the Time Stone before Strange, so she knew the entire future up to her death, and so knew who Doctor Strange is, and was just waiting for pre-determined events to happen. 28:45 Cap's smirk kills me every time. He's like "I can't believe that fucking worked." 29:28 I'll tell you, Loki gets his own TV show. That's what happens. 30:00 Yeah. In 2012, Cap was still fresh out of the ice and in his prime. But present/2023 Cap is older, but more experienced, and is holding back. *Asgard, 2013 (Events of Thor: The Dark World)* This was when Jane (infected by the Aether/Reality Stone) arrived on Asgard and was examined by Odin. *Morag, 2014 (Events of Guardians of the Galaxy)* No explanations needed here.

31:51 With the point of the movie regarding time travel, imagine going back in time to ask your dad before he left "why?" Doing so causes the leaving. When time travel is done right in movies, it has to work around the past and not "clean slate". A certain famous anime did very well in that regard, lots of cool moments.

“It’s like damn Mortal Kombat.” Yes, Hawkeye killed Scorpion’s actor. I think this scene wasted the greatest actor, Hiroyuki Sanada.

I feel bad for Clint, he dealt with his stress by killing bad guys

I went to see a Infinity War and Endgame double bill with my sister (even though we'd seen IW a lot). Infinity War started at like 8 pm, so that it was finished and we had time to go to the bathroom, get extra snacks etc, before Endgame started at 12.01am. Honestly the best cinema experience of my life. I have quite serious health problems and I knew it would be a struggle, I'm usually in bed for like 7pm, but I'm so glad I did it. I was ill for a week after but definitely worth it. Scottish audiences aren't as enthusiastic as the US, and I wasn't really expecting a lot of noise etc, but there was definitely an amazing atmosphere! We all got a little kick out of seeing the icon Scottish drink Irn Bru on the window sill at 19:32. New Asgard was filmed in Scotland.

With Hawkeye's precision and accuracy made him panic a lot when his family bliped. Because he knows they where standing at a specific point but boom gone

If you haven't seen Back to the Future, then that is a movie you got to react to pronto! They're amazing!

If it wasn't good enough that Alex is FINALLY doing Endgame, during the live premiere The Charismatic Voice joined in. Then, and I must be dreaming, she suggested joining Alex's Patreon just to get Firefly on a poll for Alex to watch. So much awesome colliding! It is a nice little series to watch, 14 episodes (MUST watch in order, must make sure) and a movie. Eps 1-2 (first is a double ep), 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, 12-14, Serenity. Easy peasy. Hell, I might join Alex's patreon to make sure it happens. Please Alex, watch Firefly.

This beginning of th movie was perfect. Just the second you try to figure out you felt as devestated as you did in the end of Infinity War. Right back in this feeling.

The opening scene with hawkeye is the fastest any movie has made me cry. The idea of turning around and your entire family vanishing is horrifying.

You should watch the To The End trailer, it's pretty sick

I hope we get this reaction soon i cant wait

Just wanted to say thank you for being real. Everyone else milks the hell out of the content and will force themselves to cry and it ruins the genuine-ness of it

My guess is option#1: Thor is from Norse mythology, and everything Scandanavia implies, therefor: hard metal is his comfort music.
