April will mark one year since the release of Avengers: Endgame, which brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s Infinity Saga to a close. The movie quickly became the top-grossing film of all time, knocking James Cameron’s Avatar out of the number one spot after ten years. Considering the movie’s success, it’s no surprise it’s still a big topic of discussion on social media. One person who loves bringing up the film is Kevin Smith, the director best known for comedy classics such as Clerks and Mallrats. Smith has taken to social media to share his favorite Avengers: Endgame moments and has even compared the comic book movie to his latest film, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. In his most recent tweet, Smith compares one moment from the film to stories from the bible, and claims future generations will “find divine inspiration” from a specific moment from the film.

“Religions have been founded on the Bible, resulting in millions of people deriving inspiration and moral strength from amazing stories about fantastic feats of faith. Hundreds of years from now, our descendants will find divine inspiration from the story of Cap wielding Mjolnir,” Smith wrote.
