When it came to Endgame, we knew we would have to say goodbye to some of our most beloved characters. Surprisingly, its first major death happened in the middle of the 3 hour runtime, as a consequence of Natasha and Clint’s trip to Vormir.
After watching Gamora’s death in Infinity War in Vormir, we knew one of the two was going to have to sacrifice themselves in order to retrieve the Soul Stone. With the two loving friends fighting over each other over volunteering to be the one to plunge of that cliff, audiences were hanging off the edge of their seats. In the end, Natasha manages to one up on Clint and be the one to give up her life.
