Marvel Fans Are Sharing How The ‘Avengers’ Movies Touched Their Lives 

The Infinity Saga has – and it pains us to write this – come to an end with the release of Avengers: Endgame. The three-hour and two-minute movie has fans feeling all kinds of things but for the vast majority, it’s bittersweet as hell. To celebrate the past 11 years and 22 movies of Marvel magic, fans have taken to social media – especially Twitter – to say #ThankYouAvengers. 

Yeah, it’s time to cry again.

(You can absolutely bet a bunch of these messages include the gut-wrenching words: “Love you 3000.” Goddamn it.)

Lovers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have shared memories, old movie tickets, favourite moments, and messages to the original six – Iron-Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).

#ThankYouAvengers started to trend over the weekend after the release of Endgame in the United States.

Captain America himself described some of the tweets of thanks as “incredibly touching”. 

Some of these #ThankYouAvengers posts are incredibly touching. I’m feeling a deep sense of gratitude today ????#ThankYouAvengersFans

And now, we cry.

“I went through all my old movie tickets and found all the MCU ones. My oldest is Iron-Man 2 and some are so faded you can’t even read them in this picture. I loved every minute of the last 10+ years. #ThankYouAvengers”

Everyone wants to be a heroes, but legends are eternal.

22 films. 11 years.
It started with 6, ended up with an army. We couldn't have asked for a better team or family.

We love you 3000#ThankYouAvengers pic.twitter.com/WROLiZFMCm

“22 films, 48/10 hours, 2922 minutes and every second has been worth it. These movies have been a big part of everyone’s lives and I can’t put into words how sad it is knowing the era is almost over, each character will forever have a special place in my heart. #ThankYouAvengers,” @mxndesparker tweeted.

I grew up watching you, waiting for every movie, dissecting every storyline in comment sections I would have never thought to set foot in.

You expanded my horizons and paved the way for the rest of America's discovery of Wakanda. #ThankYouAvengers pic.twitter.com/0uHF1pthzw

“Thank you for so many years of greatness this whole cast did this for us, such an experience that I’ll never forget. Sadly this era might be over but we will remember the times we laughed and cried so #ThankYouAvengers,” @negansari wrote.

The story lines. The origin stories. The easter eggs. The way everything tied together was nothing short of cinematic perfection. You brought the characters that I grew up reading about to life. #ThankYouAvengers ❤️ pic.twitter.com/EPG6nozn4c

After seeing #AvengersEndGame, I can confidently say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Star Wars of this generation. The cultural impact not only on movies, but the real world in general, shows me that. #ThankYouAvengers pic.twitter.com/ecKxnDOJmS

I was 13 when I first saw Iron Man. 21 films later and I'm 23 now. I've grown with these characters. I can't thank you enough for the countless hours of entertainment and conversations I've had with friends about this universe. Love you 3000. See you again tmrw

To cheer you up, here’s a video of a relieved Ruffalo after he managed not to spoil Endgame. 

Now that #AvengersEndgame is out in the world, you all can finally live without the fear of me spoiling it ????@brielarson @RobertDowneyJr @TessaThompson_x @Renner4Real pic.twitter.com/qBJL7lTkfZ
