Assignment for Wednesday, 12.11.19

Dear Mythologists,

For Wednesday, December 11, please do the following:

(1) Watch — via streaming service, reserved DVD, or your own copy — The Avengers: Endgame (2019), the fourth and final film in our superhero team-up series. As before, take notes on anything that strikes you as resonating with Greco-Roman myth, especially on the What? Why? and How? spectrum of ideas. Your notes will form the basis for our discussion of the film in class.

(2) The following students must recommend 3–5 minute sequences from Infinity War for close review in class: Schmahmann, Slesh, Wasser. Please

• briefly describe the sequence;
• give approximate starting and ending times (hh:mm); and
• explain why reviewing this sequence is worth our time as it pertains to a mythical considerations of the MCU.

First come, first served. If someone has already suggested your sequence, choose another.
