I'll Admit — 'Avengers: Endgame's Success Didn’t Fully Hit Me Until I Saw What 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Made

I remember watching Avengers: Endgameon its opening night and being blown away. It wasn't just the sheer scale that Joe and Anthony Russobrought to the screen, but it was also the way that Endgame paid off a decade's worth of character journeys built across multiple films. Whatever one can say about the films that followed Avengers: Endgame, or Marvel Studios' attempts to try and recapture that glory by bringing the Russos back for Avengers: Doomsdayand Avengers: Secret Wars, its success cannot be overlooked. Avengers: Endgame cracked a staggering $1.2 billion worldwide during its opening weekend, and it would continue to break records during its release. In fact, to truly gauge Avengers: Endgame's success, you'd have to look at another major Marvel blockbuster: Deadpool & Wolverine.
