OT: Avengers: Endgame

[RHODEY]

Spoiler:

They had to establish Captain Marvel as the strongest Avenger. They did it by ruining the most Alpha masculine characters in Thor and Hulk. Made one Soft (Hulk) and the other fat (Thor)

Spoiler:

You guys realise Hemsworth was bored with Thor as originally presented and taking him in these comedic and vulnerable directions keeps the actor interested in the roles. This is the most interesting Thor has been. And the Hulk has gone through a movoe of his own in these films since they can't do a Hulk solo. We've seen him as the reluctant hero in Avengers who gives in to his rage to save the world. He falls in love in Ultron but sacrifices that love because he can't bear to be the Hulk. He is stuck as the rage monster in Ragnarok, stuck as the weakling Banner in Infinity Wars and finally achieves balance in Endgame, but loses his love in the process.

Hulk was no Rage Monster in Ragnarak...he was more of an infant than anything else and maybe it would have been compelling if you'd seen the struggle for identity play out but, it didn't which was just another slap in Hulks face. But, that is just how I felt about it. If you enjoyed it then it served its purpose. I just didn't enjoy the movie and felt the portrayal was one of quite a few things I didn't like about it.

I liked the movie but if Hulk had a chance to Hulk out against Thanos and if they had toned the clowning (but not the depression) of Thor it would have been close to perfect for me.

We were cheated of an epic Round 2 of Hulk vs Thanos which we may never see again for a very long time. Thor's characterization just added into the fuel.

I know that is their classic battle cry but in that scene I thought it was unnecessary. They were already assembled. Seemed silly to say at that point.

This scene was so badass and the song made it more epic

Good thing I stayed away from this topic. From the looks of it there's more comments nitpicking then praising the film which is expected. People seem to want a perfect film which will never happen. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is if you enjoyed the film or not. The consensus seems to like the film but there will always be the rotten tomatoes that want to kill the joy.

The last battle was epic. Every Avengers movie final battle is great. Not sure which is my favorite. I'd put the 1st one at #4.

Or maybe its just constructive criticism? I'll be honest my expectations were sky high, but one poster saying they didnt like the film shouldn't kill the joy IMO. The movie was damn good, but a few us us think they effed up royally with certain characters - but despite that still a really good movie.

Saw Endgame a 2nd time and thought I would enjoy it more but I can't say I did. I firmly believe that its a very good film but I don't think it comes close to Infinity War.

I get that...two very different movies... I will say the highs from Endgame were some of the highest ever in the MCU for me, same with the lows... an was an emotional rollercoaster - first time a ever I welled up into tears watching a movie. I didn't even do that when Obi Wan got killed in Star wars...

But do you understand how many characters that they have to handle all at once ? I mean, I wasn’t a huge fan of the hulk banner merger but I don’t think that killed the movie for me. Thor being out of shape was meh as well. Infinity War and End Game are 2 different films. One was just Thanos demolishing everyone while the other one was basically the story of the team and their struggles dealing with the new world.

I understand and no it didnt kill the movie for me either. But certainly worth mentioning for me. You call it nitpicking, but its honest critique IMO. But honestly there are at most 2 people who didn't really like this movie...its that good.

I think when it's all said and done, Endgame won't crack my top 5

But it's like the original Avengers, what it represents is the most important part, and you'll never forget the first time you saw it

I find the biggest flaw of the movie (almost any action hero movie) is that I didn't really view the antagonist as a threat. To me, that's what made movies like Infinity War and Dark Knight great. Still a good movie though.

Was I the only one in the theater that got a HUUUUUUGE boner watching that fantastic scene? Only me?

So you thought End game Thanos was more threatening than Infinity war version? The Infinity war version was just boss in almost every way. End game Thanos seemed physically dominant against the male Avengers without any gems. No so much against CM and Scarlet witch.

I let out a huge holy sh*t when Cap summoned Mjonir.

I usually don’t react out loud when I’m watching a movie at the theater.

Guess my post was worded weird. I didn't view Thanos in Endgame as a credible threat, and that makes it less enjoyable than Infinity war.

He seemed stronger to me in end game. Dude was whooping everyone.

This is supposed to be "younger" Thanos where he's still commanding his cronies to sought out all the infinity stones for him. That's why he's not as cold and calculated as IW Thanos. Thanos in IW was on a mission to get it all on his own.
