Avengers: Endgame - 10 Best Gags Ranked From Worst To Best
Between all the heartbreak, there was some hilarious moments too.
Avengers: Endgame has come around at long, long last, and made a whole new definition for bittersweet in the process. With so much riding on the second part to Infinity War's devastating finale, Endgame could have very easily leant in to its heartbreaking central story of a half a universe snapped away - but luckily for us, we got a healthy dose of fun to make the dusting feel that much less soul-rending.
The comedic relief of this Marvel movie is arguably the most well-structured and intricately timed yet, letting the bigger moments have their time to shine whilst undercutting the whole event with some much needed laughter. Watching in the cinema only makes that all the more apparent, too, since laughter was part and parcel of the Endgame social experience.
But than that begs the questions: which moments were our favourite? And which will we all still be talking about in the months to come?
Collecting the 10 very best audience-poppers of the 3 hour experience then, these are easily the best of Endgame's winning gags. 11 years of cinematic history pays off at the comedy club, after all...
10. Captain America Holding Thor's Little One
Thor being bigger and badder than ever means that he's got a reputation to uphold, so by extension - he needs a big and bad axe. Stormbreaker has served him admirably as his most recent weapon after the destruction of Mjolnir that fills that quota, but that doesn't mean the god will pass up his chance at getting the hammer back when he returns to Asgard during the Time Heist. It's when Thor is dual wielding them both during the final battle that we get another dose of his on-brand masculinity humour then, after Captain America proves himself worthy enough to conjure Mjolnir and we all screeched in celebration.
Somehow the pair get their weapons mixed up between them with Cap flinging Stormbreaker and Thor reunited with his hammer, only for the latter to notice, stop the fighting, and make Cap swap back with him whilst very plainly telling him that 'he gets the little one'. It's such a small moment, but one that stands out as perfectly in tune with Thor's brand of competitive manhood. Least you know Thor's got a big one, by extension.
