It's funny because I don't give GoT a pass for lack of realism even with its dragons and zombies. But with the Avengers, I went full popcorn mode and just enjoyed it as a spectacle (my first post after the battle of Winterfell alluded to this). BUT

I do wish the love story was included, just not for narrative purposes to this plot. Rather, there's a whole thing I read about from the comic plots where Death takes interest in Deadpool and Thanos gets jealous. Now THAT is a plot I want to see a movie script made out of :lol:

I dunno, watching bootlegs at 3AM when you already have tickets the next day is mega-dorkstick level.

Just embrace it

lol I may be a Mark for sure, but the dorks are the ones who read the comics, have their own image in their heads how everything should actually be, and cry when it doesn't happen exactly as they imagined. It was a good movie that doesnt need to be analyzed to death. I had a few issues myself, but really in the end it is what it is. either you like it or you dont, or you throw it down the list. "but if he just doubled the size of the universe" crap is just over the top for this dork, nerd, mark, or however you wanna label me. I was entertained for 3 hours and thats good enough for me.

Saw it and thought it was really, really good but ...


Spoiler:
I didnt not like what was done with Thor. I get the depression, but it he didn't need to be broken down to that level with the potbelly, not a way for him to go out against thanos and this incarnation of the team

I felt really cheated that we saw no Hulk action. Maybe a Thanos rematch was too much to ask for ( I don't actually believe that) but really? We get CM , who imo was forced into the movie but no Hulk smashing...that really bothered me.

The death of Tony Stark left a very bad taste in my mouth. I get that it gives the movie weight and purpose, I get that he was but a mortal and his body couldn't take it but... there had to be a way. Why not let the over powered CM do the snap? surely she could absorb all that extra gamma radiation and survive?.

Or for perhaps let tony do it but let her siphon the extra energies that were unleashed.

I just don't like leaving the a movie on such sad note. When I walked out of that theater I felt I had attended a real funeral. Stark became that much of a fixture. Couldn't they had just had him retire and enjoy his little family? Unnecessary sacrifice IMO. The movie was really SAD, a little too sad IMO. I still feel sad and its been 5 days since I saw this flick :o

Still a very good movie, not quite as good as the the previous, because of the above and a little too light on the action overall. I really wish they could have somehow had Hulk absorb that extra gamma radiation from the initial snap and let him take a shot at Thanos while amped up ... :banghead: Oh well.

Spoiler:
I thought it was very necessary; Tony would have never retired, he couldn't stop and that was the point. Definitely was a sad ending though the MCU won't be the same without him that's for sure.

I think if he had the choice of being around for his wife and 5 year daughter and suiting up - when he could just let someone suit up in his place, he would choose family. Sure yoyu could argue that Ironman is more than just the suit, that Tony is Ironman...but it just didnt sit right with me. Ironman is called "Invincible" for a reason..." Tony always finds a way to win AND Survive

Isn't that a thing in the comics though?

You don't have to be next to a country to go to war with them, so I don't think that'd be an issue

Saw it again. Yeah, it’s the best culmination of a set of movies ever. 21 movies leading up to this. Movie starts slow but I get it and it being 3 hours allowed it to do so.
Best superhero movie ever.

Spoiler:
That last battle scene one of the most epic things I’ve seen in a movie ever. If you teared up during Iron-Man’s death then the movie did what it was supposed to do. Not sure what’s to complain about with that.
Tony couldn’t survive. He’s been foreseeing this since Age of Ultron, plus Hawkeye was always the family guy that NEEDED to survive (which is why he went Ronin this movie).
I’m fine with how Thor was for the simple fact that it had to make sense as to why everyone was needed to help. Full Power Thor can kill stone-less Thanos. Full Power Thor and Captain Marvel could’ve taken them all.
Had to show cracks in the armor. Plus he’s obviously going to be in the next GOTG movie.
Shame they couldn’t do another Hulk movie between all of this. We got a “Planet Hulk” substitute in Thor Ragnarok and then he ends up Professor Hulk in this.
Big comeup for Chris Evans. Went from the Human Torch in terrible Fantastic Four movies to a great role as Cap. He grew on me throughout the series of his movies up until now. Interesting that they went the falcon route for next Cap instead of Bucky. Also interesting that the kid from Iron-Man 3 was at the funeral randomly.

Going to be hard to match this is the next few phases but excited to watch them try. Fantastic 4, X-Men, who returns & who makes cameos in other solo movies.
Brie Larson signed a 7 movie deal as CM & she just knocked out 2 within these past 2 months.

This thing started in 2008 when I was in high school & EndGame came full circle with me being 28 & my 4 year old daughter next to me watching. Hell of a commitment. Almost can’t remember Marvel movies before the MCU outside of the Spider-Man trilogies.
Good stuff overall.
