These 'Avengers: Endgame' First Reactions and Premiere Moments Will Get You Pumped
Avengers: Endgame premiered in Los Angeles this week, and the long-awaited 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe seemingly didn't disappoint. Disney and Marvel have been building up this juggernaut of a franchise since 2007, with three phases of films leaving hoards of loyal fans clamoring for more.
But before you can get yourself to your local theater for the film's April 26 release date, check out some of the (spoiler-free!) first reactions to the film and highlights from the LA premiere's purple carpet. Based on these reactions, you'll definitely need to bring a box of tissues to the theater with you.
Imagine the best possible version of #AvengersEndgame and somehow the film still surpasses all expectations. I cried 5-6 times. It’s the most emotional, most epic, MCU film. A tribute to ten years of this universe and holy shit the great fan service in this movie. Soooo good.

It has been speculated that since stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Hemsworth’s contracts are all ending after this installment, their fates in their next fight with Thanos are up in the air. That said, Hemsworth has expressed interest in another Thor movie.
What an absolutely perfect ending to the journey that began over a decade ago. #AvengersEndgame is everything & yet nothing you expect. I cannot wait to see where the MCU.
Bravo Russo bros and Kevin Feige. Thank you for giving us and our kids heroes to dream of.— Yolanda Machado (@SassyMamainLA) April 23, 2019

But if all of this talk of the Avengers' final stand is getting you a little down, you can check out Jimmy Fallon’s music video, with the cast singing an Avengers-themed cover of Billy Joel's 1989 hit “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
In the name of letting you watch the film, select AMC locations are even staying open longer hours to accommodate the three-hour-long movie and the expected crowds.
As of now, 17 AMC locations will be open for four days straight — or 96 hours https://t.co/Yg6vAhDGdG #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/u28nLLpycU

Seriously, we've got your movie checklist right here: water, snacks, and tissues.
#AvengersEndgame is a masterful epic - a true culmination of 22 films that not only concludes the story, but expands upon it. You’ll learn more about the other movies while this one unfolds. If Infinity War is the brawn, Endgame is the brains. And wow, what an ending! pic.twitter.com/94ttBUQKJ0

This High Schooler Benched 525 Pounds, and Now We Feel Weak
It’s no secret that a lot of crazy stuff goes down in Florida, but this 525-pound bench press, performed by high school junior Agelu Nunu, might just be the craziest.
The feat went down at the Florida High School Athletic Association Boys' Weightlifting State Championship, which took place over the weekend of March 13, and the students were competing for the best total between the bench press and clean and jerk. (Yeah, we think that’s a weird combo, too.) The lift was a state record, according to USA Today.
At 6’0” and 285 pounds, the Panama City Beach Arnold High student also managed to clean 300 pounds. And his size and strength aren't reserved for just lifting weights. Nunu is also a defensive tackle for the school’s football team and, according to the Gainesville Sun, already has offers from Arizona, Southern Mississippi, and Florida. We're not sure if football will work out for Nunu but, if it doesn't, he may definitely have a future in powerlifting.
