On this Episode:

It’s so rare that we get failed heroes in any epic narrative but Infinity War gives us a massive, unprecedented loss. Throughout Endgame, we see the repercussions of that and how each hero deals with this loss, and how they handle their grief. Grief is multifaceted, and Endgame gives us a unique opportunity to see how a variety of heroes deal with the grief that diverges from the usual super-hero narrative.

On this episode, our host Emily Schuck talks with guest Monica Duarte & Madison Morrow about what they think is going on in the minds and hearts of the Avengers and what we as the audience experienced through it.
