There's always time for another re-release. Three hours is a lot to ask viewers when watching a superhero movie, and it was clear that Marvel still had to cut the massive film down by a lot to even make it that long. It should be noted that while the film didn't get an intermission in the U.S., it did get one internationally, and the break was considered a favorable one. Plus, an intermission only makes it feel more epic. While that might make some viewers antsy to see what is about to happen next, it'd also serve as a nice little momentary relapse from the action, allowing the audience to better appreciate the somberness and steady build of the first half and get them even more excited and possibly anxious to see what will become of their favorite characters in the rousing final 90-plus minutes set to come. To be more specific, Marvel could have a chance to place an intermission a little before or after the time-jumping becomes a critical competent of the film. This one rivals The Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King when it comes to a fitting final (for now, at least) chapter for some of the most well-known cinematic figures of the last 10 years. The expansive superhero franchise is one of the few guarantees in Hollywood at the moment, at least when it comes to returning ticket sales, and it has constantly given its growingly appreciative audiences with epic, triumphant cinematic events. Marvel's climactic and - in many ways - conclusive fourth Avengers movie Avengers: Endgame was always intended to be an event. Rather than making movies shorter, why don't we simply bring back the intermission? There are even three recent and upcoming movies which would arguably benefit from this mid-way break in the action. Especially in an age of shorter attention spans and rapid-fire distractions, the invitation of an intermission could provide a number of larger movies with a vital recharge button that would not only reward viewers but give them a greater appreciation for the movie-at-hand. That's a shame, because if anything, movie intermissions could be even more beneficial and reinvigorating now. ![]()
