As I walked into the LA Convention center and strolled on the Purple carpet with my Wakanda “Not Today Colonizer” tee, I had my doubts if they could pull it off.
Over the next three hours, those doubts were put to rest.
This is a spoiler free review of Avengers: Endgame, but if you don’t want to know ANYTHING about the movie, I suggest you stop here, but if you want to read more flip the page now.
