Avengers Endgame: Endure - Worth it?

This past September, theatres rolled a fan favorite back onto the screen for one last hurrah. Avengers Endgame: Encore was released by Marvel as "The epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga", intending it to be the final movie to join the famous 8-year long series. While originally thought of as a simple re- release for fans to enjoy in theatres, it was later revealed that Encore would include extra, never seen before, footage of the film. This excited fans while also bringing into question whether it was worth it to spend money on a ticket to just see a few minutes of extra scenes.
As a longtime fan of Marvel and the Avengers series, senior Mihirr Malhotra remarked, "I was super hype, I was like more scenes? No way!".
His reaction was shared by fans worldwide, many who just appreciated the chance to be back in the world they loved again. With a legacy as famous as the one that the Avengers saga holds, it was impossible that the movie wouldn't gain at least some traction.
Other fans were conflicted on whether they wanted to go or not, junior Shine Duffee recalled, "When I saw it came out, I got really influenced by my friends to go see it. Though, the tickets were a bit expensive to just go watch some extra clips that I could just search up on YouTube later."
This opinion was quite common, with costs skyrocketing, buying a ticket to re-watch a movie simply didn't seem to be worth it or in the budget for a lot of fans.
Alternativity, some people looked down on the act. Bellevue's very own AP Government teacher, Mr. Linser. commented, "Seemed like a money grab to me".
He's not the only one. Gaining more revenue from a movie that's already hit the charts globally didn't seem necessary to critics, an opinion they made vocal following the week Encore premiered.
Ultimately, the release of Avengers Endgame: Encore was a success and grossed approximately $126 million globally. Though it brought some controversy along with it, the re-release ended up being a great chance to see a fan favorite back in the theatres.
