Please note: I will not be covering every single hairstyle in the MCU, as such a post would be 8,000 entries long. Like Ant-Man, I was nervous, but ultimately, YOLO. So in honor of the final Avengers, l decided to hop into the Quantum Realm and take a tour of the MCU’s historic hair stylings - the good, the bad, and the apocalyptic. Forget all the death and destruction, and focus on what’s important: all those relentlessly horrible ’dos! I know it’s the apocalypse, guys, but, like, geez. The past decade-plus of the MCU has been a roller coaster of hair highs and lows, and while we appear to be in free fall right now, it wasn’t always like this.

I am talking, of course, about everyone’s hair.įrom Hawkeye’s crisis brony to Black Widow’s doomsday makeover to Thor’s Lebowski cosplay wig, Endgame was a veritable carousel of hair don’ts. It was possibly the worst massacre in the history of the MCU, and I don’t say that lightly. Endgame betrayed those years of trust, throwing over half of my beloved original Avengers team under the bus in the most horrific fashion. “Look at all these beautiful gifts I have given you.” But no. “You can trust me,” the MCU whispered in my ear. I should’ve known better than to assume we were on steady ground, but Black Panther, Ragnarok, and Infinity War had lulled me into complacency. As someone who has been invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the beginning, and even made a decent-ish effort to watch the thousands of shows tangentially tied into its expansive world, I thought I was prepared for anything Endgame could throw at me.

Avengers: Endgame is now in theaters, bringing an epic 11-year journey that started with 2008’s Iron Man to its breathtaking, surprising, and occasionally tragic conclusion.
