Avengers: Endgame is back in theaters now, which has sparked an online debate about whether or not just four minutes of added material is worth the price of admission. Honestly though, I think people have got it all wrong. While I think it's cool that there’s some bonus reason to revisit Avengers: Endgame, the movie itself — and the ability to immerse yourself in it on a big screen, free from distractions — is reason enough to attend. Back in 2019, Avengers: Endgame pulled off the epic task of bringing the 23-film Infinity Saga to a deeply satisfying conclusion. Plus, with the time-travel element to the story, it offered a chance to revisit some of the greatest previous entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On top of all that, the movie contains the greatest Tony Stark quote in the history of the MCU.

Robert Downey Jr. delivers a fast-talking, quippy, quotable version of Iron Man. But he’s also got directors like Jon Favreau and Shane Black on his side, along with screenwriters like Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. So he’s bound to have a lot of great lines. “I shouldn’t be alive,” he says in the first movie, “unless it was for a reason.” And in 2010’s Iron Man 2, one of his best (and most arrogant) lines comes during a senate hearing when he says “I’ve successfully privatized world peace.”

There are also a number of solid lines in the pre-Endgame........
