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.


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.

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.


I'm going to disagree. IW established that he was a credible through the fact that he could obtain the stones "on his own." Even if younger, he's still the same cold and calculating character. His victory in IW made the outcome of Endgame a foregone conclusion. To me, that greatly diminished his perceived threat level.

Spoiler:
No outright victories nor did he obtain a single stone. Doing either would have increased suspense immensely.


Still enjoyed the movie though.

Spoiler:
This is silly. The arguments made in the video might point to him having a different motivation, but in no way shape or form is he stronger in Endgame than in IW. I would assume having any of the stones, let alone a completed gauntlet, negates the content creator's first two points. It's even stated as such.

Yeah, I agree. We all knew the big bad would finally get his comeuppance in this one so it wasn't surprising Thanos wouldn't be as threatening as IW.

this isnt a spoiler but the so called new lead of the MCU captain marvel sounds like they are going to bench her, most of the fans and even the cast dont like the actress brie larson

also they made her way to powerful compared to the comics.... in the MCU the basically just turned her into superman without even a kryptonite, i thought maybe since both dr.strange and thor kinda came off as meh in their own movies they would turn it around in the avengers movies but nope shes just as boring and lifeless

Worse than superman, atleast superman had to face people that made him sweat. I dont like her one bit but Ive held back on the criticism. Apparently her movie did great so I'm confused if they would leave future money on the table. Also didn't she get a 7 movie deal?

just google fans hate her most of the cast dislikes her .. im not going to bend over backwards to prove it to you but anyone who cares enough can find out the truth on their own

as for the 7 movie deal i heard that wasn't true and by how much of a role she played in endgame id believe it, was also before she started to self destruct on all the press tours

I believe her role in endgame was filmed before they even started her standalone movie. I’m assuming they kept it small because she’s a Mary Sue and they weren’t sure how her box office would draw

The movie was good, but there are a couple things that annoyed me.

Spoiler:
First, they need to stop making Thor a running joke. In Ragnarok I thought they already went over the top with the comedy aspect of it, but in Endgame they've gone way too far. I understand the need for a comical aspect but now every Thor appearance is straight up parody, Deadpool level. In the movie he's basically a drunk bum who doesn't even get to wield his own hammer. I like Thor as a character, hated seeing him dragged through the mud.

Next, I didn't like at all the Hulk version. I'm not sure how it goes in the comics but the half muscle/half brains is too far fetched for me. Also I assume that what people love about the Hulk is the raw power and you just want to see him destroy people/stuff, not a green nerd who does little more than type on a computer.

Lastly, and this is obviously a prerequisite these days, every Marvel movie has to have the compulsory gender equality sequence(s). So at some point there's always a scene where a woman manages to show off more power than all male heroes combined, and saves the day. It's so blatant it's just pathetic and annoying. If I was a woman, I'd almost be offended by the scene where all girls team up at once (only to fail miserably anyway), as it's so OBVIOUSLY designed to satisfy low level feminists like "see, we involve women too in our movies". A bit of a rant but it's really ridiculous to me.

Totally agree on all fronts!

Spoiler:
seriously, Thor alone could take on a gauntlet-less Thanos and hold his own, never mind with both hammers! Cap wielding the hammer, maybe I can give that a pass, but using the lightning?!? Hulk always sucks in movies. And the girl scene was forced.

Spoiler:
Exactly! I don't know what the deal is with Thor, it's almost like they belittle him on purpose. This is one of the most iconic and powerful Marvel characters, he deserves better. Cap using the lightning was just messed up. They basically gave Thor's abilities to Captain America for no reason.
