Re: #2 Avengers: Endgame vs. #7 Guardians of the Galaxy

Endgame was a great ending of several arcs and a great way to tie up phase 3. (I view From from Home as an epilogue.) There are several awesome moments, and has some of my favorite Cap moments. But if both were on TV at the same time (and probably have been), I'm probably choosing Guardians each time.
