The first week of Michigan’s football season is still months away, but this weekend is about as exciting as a Wolverine-less one can be. On Thursday, “Avengers: Endgame” releases, putting the finishing touches on Marvel’s 10+ year, 20+ movie Infinity Saga. On Sunday, Jon Snow and the armies of the living will face off against the dead at the Battle of Winterfell. It’s 2019, geekdom and fandom go hand in hand.
I couldn’t help but resist the clickiest temptations of the Avengers’ release. Thus, I decided to do this. We’re going to recast Avengers: Endgame (only the non-snapped folk) with some characters from Michigan’s football program.
