Avengers assemble! We've made it, it's time to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in theaters, but before we do, we've got some unfinished Avengers business to take care of. Naaim Siddiqi from the Rain Delay Radio podcast is back to cover part 2 of the Infinity War story, the 3 hour masterpiece, Avengers: Endgame. This movie is set in 2023 despite being released in 2019, notably before COVID ravaged the planet in real life. With the post-COVID hindsight in mind, it puts this movie in a new perspective and we compare real life trauma of 9/11 and COVID to the "snap." Did COVID accidentally fix the Marvel timeline? Plus, Naaim has a theater manager story where an employee got fired as a result of an early screening of this film and is the final battle scene with all the women heroes just a tone deaf pandering spectacle?
