Warning: Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones’ “The Long Night.”
Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones’ big Battle of Winterfell episode, “The Long Night,” had a lot to live up to. Expectations were high about how these cultural phenomena would bring long gestating storylines to a close. The pressure on both to provide fitting conclusions to the Infinity Saga and the Night King’s foreboding threat, respectively, meant that there was the potential that we would be left underwhelmed by their endings.
And now, with Endgame and “The Long Night” out in the wild, the question must be asked: Did these much-anticipated tales deliver on the protracted plot threads that have been years in the making? Or did they not justify the hype that surrounded them?
