flocking to Twitter to express their love and appreciation with the #ThankYouAvengers hashtag.
Meanwhile, the cast and
directors of the movie mounted a #DontSpoilTheEndgame campaign urging all fans to give one another a
chance to have the same emotional experience when watching the move for the
first time:
The hashtag #DontSpoilTheEndgame has since trended globally, with fans (mostly)
abiding by the rules and keeping their silence. Dedicated fans who have yet to
catch the movie have gone to great lengths to remind others to stay
spoiler-free:
