After watching Endgame I could not help but feel that the whole Avengers series is Hollywood’s answer to 1990’s Govinda Films! Tacky clothes, deliberate gimmicks bordering on slapstick comedy, massy entertainment, jokes and scenes you enjoy in the moment.

The parallels between ancient deception and modern-day imposters underscore the timeless human tendency to be drawn to illusions and the struggle to discern truth from falsehood.
