NON-WARNING: READ AT YOUR OWN LEISURE, THERE ARE NO SPOILERS AHEAD

So like the rest of the known universe, I recently saw Avengers: Endgame. And unlike most of the theater-going masses, I kept my pants on throughout.

I mean, I liked it, just didn’t love it. Certainly, there were scenes and moments that were amazing and that I’d really enjoying watching again … but I’m not sure I’d pay $12 to sit through the entire 3+ hours a second time.

While I was watching, however, it occurred to me that the Avengers have this enormous, sprawling complex and … well … there’s no one there but a half dozen or so Avengers. (And don’t try to peddle me that “Marvel/Disney can’t afford extras” malarkey!) I understand that the focus of the movie is on them (it’s in title, I get it), but it seems to me that given what they do and the scope of their operation, there should be support personnel hanging about, right?

Like, I know that Tony Stark is big on robots, tech and artificial intelligence, but even he needs Happy to drive him places (and keep Spider-man out of trouble). So, even with bleeding edge tech, the Avengers complex should be teeming with friendly human faces—teamwork to make the dream work, as it were.

For example:

Cleaning crew—Okay, the MCU addressed this somewhat in Spider-man: Homecoming with the Vulture’s company tidying up the city after the Battle of New York. But what about just keeping the Avengers complex spic and span?

Even if the place has self-cleaning sinks and showers, what about dust? Who is vacuuming the couch, wiping Thor’s cheesepuff-stained fingerprints off all the glass displays, or collecting his empty beer cans? Who’s tackling a toilet the day after Hulk has downed a few dozen tacos? Plungers, assemble!

Costume and laundry team—Yes, Tony Stark builds his own Iron Man suits, but who is Black Widow going to for her skin-tight leather outfits? And who is sewing her into those, not to mention getting out the sweat, blood and stains after a day of battling aliens? Can’t exactly toss those into a washing machine. Someone’s at least got to take them to Edna Mode for dry cleaning.

Besides, Thor’s trousers and tunics didn’t let themselves out. Bruce Banner shreds clothes every single time he Hulks out—who is replenishing his wardrobe? And what about the “regular” togs the team wears between missions? Pretty sure Steve Rogers isn’t cruising the Old Navy at the local galleria for a pair of jeans, or even washing his own sweats after destroying a half dozen punching bags.

Food service—We all know how much the Avengers love their shawarma, but it’s not like they can go out for it every night. Someone has to put together meals for the team, and given their constant physical exertion, they must pack away the calories.

We know Black Widow makes a mean peanut butter sandwich, but I’m pretty sure a Russian super spy isn’t heading over to the local Shop-Rite to buy her own Skippy. Even if they order all their food through Peapod, someone has to take the delivery and stock the pantry.

Legal team—Obviously Stark Industries has a battery of attorneys to protect Tony’s propriety inventions, but what insurance and protection do the other Avengers have? Who does Hulk turn to when he gets sued after accidentally smashing someone’s car or house or office building? What about electronics wrecked when Thor discharges lightning?

Given the amount of damage sustained, cities flattened and widespread carnage on any given adventure, there would need to be a legal team the size of Wakanda to handle all the claims. It’s not like they can just snap all their legal woes away.

Medical team—Seriously, the Avengers are beaten, bruised and bloodied constantly. Who provides the necessary first aid and surgery? We’ve seen Dr. Bruce Banner occasionally patch up team members, but he’s not a neurologist who can treat them for the multiple concussions incurred during so many incredibly violent fights. I mean, after getting knocked around by Thanos and broken open during a battle, Captain America isn’t going to the local walk-in for stitches.

And what about just the normal preventative care stuff? I doubt Black Widow is meandering over to Dr. Newsbaum, OB-GYN, for exams. Oh, and lets’s talk about dental care—they all have gorgeous white teeth, despite constantly being in fist fights. Smiles isn’t where Hulk is going for a root canal.

Armaments makers and mechanics—To paraphrase Jack Nicholson’s Joker, “Where do they get all those wonderful toys?”

Again, we know Tony Stark builds his own weapons, but you never seen Hawkeye crafting a quiver full of normal arrows, not to mention all the gimmick ones. War Machine and Black Widow go through bullets and rockets as if they have an infinite supply, but you never see either at the local ammo shop stocking up.

Plus, there’s a fleet of cars, planes, motorcycles and other modes of transportation that seem to be endlessly at their disposal—perfectly maintained, fueled and ready around the clock. Who takes care of it all? Given the way the Avengers abuse their vehicles, just keeping any one primed and running would require a full-time NASCAR pit crew.

Oh well … maybe at some point in the next 22 movies, Marvel/Disney will show some love to Tim, the Avengers’ landscaper. That lawn isn’t going to re-sod itself after Endgame!
