Avengers: Endgame: parents' guide

Long battles with stabbings, impalings, shootings and disintegrations, and several characters die. A villain is beheaded with blood briefly visible, an arm is hacked off, and an embittered hero kills a crime boss and his men with a sword.

At least eight s-words plus bullshit, son of a bitch, dickhead, bitch, pissed and pissant, and God's name misused about eight times, including two goddamns. One possible f-word is too muffled to make out.

Couples kiss and embrace, Thor and others are shirtless for long stretches, and heroes make crude jokes admiring another hero's rear end. No sex scenes or nudity.

Thor copes with guilt by drinking heavily and is drunk or tipsy for much of the film, surrounded by beer bottles and barrels. The movie plays his depression and drinking largely for laughs.

Grief runs through the film, starting with a mother and children vanishing from their backyard. Expect monstrous armies, near drownings, and major heroes' deaths: one chooses to fall to their death to save others, and a small child's parent is shown badly burned and dying.
