Review: With humor and heart, 'Avengers: Endgame' is a fitting send-off for Marvel’s superheroes

The results of Thanos’s simple yet devastating gesture, which some wags have taken to calling the “Snapture,” were memorably shocking. But not as indelible as the shadow that crept across his face just before the closing credits: the enigmatic half-smile — midway between regret and relief — of a psychopathic, purple Mona Lisa.
In a sense, “Endgame” is an example of the MCU cannibalizing itself, but it has always done so. And it does so here in a fresh way that is closer to homage than lazy appropriation. These affectionate flashbacks also serve as a tip of the hat to all the loyal fans who have held this sprawling mythology so dear.
