Most people going into Avengers: Endgame assumed that either or both of Tony Stark/Iron Man and Steve Rogers/Captain America wouldn't be around to see the credits roll. Throughout most of the movie, I had Cap pegged as the one to fall in battle. During that climactic and world-shaking fight against Thanos, there were a number of moments where I thought his goose was well and truly cooked. Perhaps the tensest scene came when the Mad Titan was bearing down on Cap with all his ferocity, his sword slicing through that iconic indestructible shield as if it was warm butter.
