A photo of a 6-year old boy crying after watching “Avengers: Endgame” went viral on Twitter on Sunday, May 5.
Mike Bartlett, the father of the boy shared his dilemma on a Twitter post which read: “My son fell in love with @Iron_Man when he was 1 years old. He’s now 6, just finished watching @Avengers!”
He even tagged Robert Downey Jr., the actor who played Iron Man, saying that his son is distraught and wanted to sleep with as many Iron man things as possible.
“@RobertDowneyJr my son is distraught! Crying all the way home from the theater! Wanting to sleep with as much Iron man things as possible! Literally crying himself to sleep!”
Netizens related to the kid, some even sharing that they too are heartbroken after watching the movie and went home crying.
This is heartbreaking 😔 Little boy, I know the feeling ❤️. I’m so much older than you, still I left the theater crying all my way home too and I even cried days after (I watched it April 24th). I’m sending you a big hug, pal 💕 you’re not alone in this
