Apparently you and I were watching different movies.

While CGI is a staple of most genre films these days (action, superhero, science fiction, etc.), it was not overused here. The final hour's grand battle required ...well, grand effects, but the earlier part of Endgame was devoted to human interaction between the surviving heroes, including how each dealt with loss and the sense of failure.

Violence, really? I'm just not seeing what you saw. There was very little gore in this movie in spite of the complicated CGI enhanced battle scenes. Killing and taking revenge wasn't the principle theme of Endgame. If there was an overriding theme, it was self-sacrifice. Winning in the context of this final Avengers film should be seen as coming to grips with personal loss and setting things right that had gone awry. However, as happy endings go, the final Avenger's film is unquestionably bittersweet.

If you're concerned about how younger folks internalize violent messages on film, there are a plethora of better, harsher examples in the action film genre with far gruesomer blood soaked CGI visuals. For instance, Endgame pales in comparison to most interactive video games that have violent content. BTW, most of the humorous banter in Endgame was clever, not cheesy and infantile, following closely the character developed for each of the actor's roles.

IMO, Endgame is one of the best superhero films Marvel Studios & Disney have released, and as such fully deserving of it's popularity and impressive profits.
