With Avengers: Endgame set to storm cinemas in a couple of days, it was expected that the upcoming blockbuster find its way to pirate sites at some point. But considering that the flick has already opened in China, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that at least one person managed to bootleg it.
As it turns out, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’ latest adventure is already available for illegal download. It goes without saying that we won’t link to such a thing, nor am I going to advocate “torrenting.” I don’t mean to sound like your disapproving father, but doing so can open quite the can of worms in a variety of respects. And to be honest, I’d rather not have my first viewing of such an important entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe looking like complete crap.
Speaking of which, here’s how TorrentFreak described the copy making its rounds, which is said to be of poor quality:
“The image flickers constantly throughout. It’s semi-rotated and is littered throughout with watermarks for a gambling site that spin around the screen.”
Sounds awesome!
In all seriousness, I’m guessing that more than a few impatient folks will partake because they don’t want to wait for opening weekend. Regardless, it’s probably best that you keep spoilers to yourself until Monday, lest you get flamed by your friends for doing so. Believe me, you’re not going to want to miss out on learning which Disney or Harry Potter character the latest data-mining app claims they are in real life whenever you browse your newsfeed.
Anyways, if you can resist the temptation, then be sure to catch Avengers: Endgame when it arrives in theaters this Friday, April 26th. Piracy makes Captain America cry, and we don’t want to upset him.
