The past decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe effectively concluded this weekend with the release of Avengers: Endgame in theaters. Quibble all you want about the value of these movies in terms of the film canon, the actual mechanics of building to a conclusion after 21 films is still noting less than an achievement. For fans of the franchise, it’s a milestone, and they’ve taken to social media — especially Twitter — to say #ThankYouAvengers.

The responses range wildly, but the vast majority of immensely positive and emotional. Some folks have been waiting for this kind of thing since the first Iron Man while others fell in love with the team-up aspect of the films starting with 2012’s The Avengers. Regardless, there’s a since of finality to things now that Endgame is here, and it’s got folks feeling all sorts of ways.
Keep reading to see how folks are responding — be warned, however, there may be spoilers below.
Avengers: Endgame serves as the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, which began with 2008’s Iron Man, which starred Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role. This section of the MCU has recently been dubbed the Infinity Saga, which makes sense as it largely concerns the Infinity Stones and the acquisition of them by the Mad Titan, Thanos, as portrayed by Josh Brolin.
Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel are now in theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home, the next official entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is set to release on July 4th. Everything beyond that is still in limbo.

The best decisions
Been seeing #ThankYouAvengers trending so I’m gonna say real quick that I haven’t been a Marvel fan for long, but I think becoming one was one of the best decisions I’ve made. And as a person who’s often alone, these characters help me feel like I’m not. Thank you, Marvel
