For Us MCU, DCEU and/or Harry Potter Fans

I gotta admit, these first two videos are kinda emotional as an invested Marvel Cinematic Universe fan (and Marvel fan in general).  They won't have the same effect if you haven't seen Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which are not only the two finest MCU films, but among the finest films ever made.  (And …
