Nebula and Captain America/Steve Rogers in"Avengers: Endgame." By Alyssa Rosenberg Alyssa Rosenberg Opinion writer covering culture Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 26 at 6:00 AM This piece discusses some plot details from “Avengers: Endgame.”
For all the discussion of the Golden Age of television, the cable shows that gave the period its designation were not generally broad-based hits like their network predecessors. Almost 12 million people tuned in to the series finale of “The Sopranos,” and 10.28 million to the finale of “Breaking Bad,” after the final season saw a significant rise in viewership. A mere 3.29 million watched the finale of “Mad Men,” and the “The Wire” stumbled over the finish line with a mere 1.1 million viewers.
The result is a franchise where ideas are almost always subordinate to personalities; action and sexuality are subordinated to the need to preserve a lucrative PG-13 rating; and wonderful filmmakers, including Joss Whedon and Ryan Coogler, are brought in to give the movies a patina of personality without disrupting their essential formulas.
All well and good on the character work: Like many of the best Golden Age television shows, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is defined largely by the breadth and excellence of its acting ensemble. It’s on the other metrics of artistic ambition that “Avengers: Endgame” doesn’t merely fall short, but seems to have set that drive aside almost entirely.
“Game of Thrones,” the biggest spectacle currently airing on TV, may have gotten distracted by sex and dragon fire. But it consistently circles back around to its big debates about leadership, legitimacy and liberation.
