10 Movie Titles With Double Meanings Everyone Missed

10. Avengers: Endgame

Despite Endgame being absolutely everywhere for the past few months, few seem to have picked up on how clever the title is. Instead, once initial coverage of the film’s plot had died down, talk shifted immediately to box office figures, chances of toppling Avatar and various controversies.

The name itself though hasn’t really been discussed. While Infinity War dealt with a war for the Infinity Stones and Age Of Ultron might have been better named Afternoon Of Ultron, Endgame is a genuinely clever title.

Endgame is the name of a certain scenario in chess, when very few pieces are left on the board and players are restricted in their options. Sound familiar?

Assuming the superheroes to be chess pieces, they literally enter the Endgame as Infinity War ends. Spidey, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch and many others are ‘taken off the board’ when Thanos dusts them, and they’re left with a skeleton crew of heroes with limited options to bring them back.
