FInally managed to get to see endgame I'm really glad that Chris Hemsworth's experience making Thor ragnarok really made him like doing the character. I'm all for the big thorwsky in Guardians 3. Also the fight with thano's army is the most comic book poo poo I've ever seen in a movie. loved it. My only real complaints about the movie is that the stuff with hawkeye and ronin seemed really superfluous. I mean, yeah, it shows how hard he took the death of the family but it doesn't go much farther than that. Just a good goddamn movie and I'm excited for the future of marvel.

It'd be cool if Thor is still chubby and doesn't just magically shed weight so we can have a plus-size hero running around in the MCU. I thought the Hawkeye stuff was neat since I saw it as them going, "What if we have someone more like comics Punisher running around killing criminals? How come no one's stopping him?" and the answer is "The Avengers are too busy helping stabilize the world to even deal with him. But once he's in their radar they can easily track him down and stop him." Like if it hadn't been Clint, I can see Nat asking Steve and Rhodey to come with her and arrest the guy.

Nah guys, Thor will open Guardians 3 by doing a training montage set to Eye of The Tiger. He will get increasingly fit as the montage continues. Star Lord will look increasingly jealous in the background. Thor will reveal this wasn't the first time he got fat.

In my headcannon him being overweight/out of shape was the reason he couldn't overpower a gauntlet-less Thanos. Because the Thor ar the end of Infinity War seemed ridiculously OP.

The first part would be legendary just for having fun with the IP. The second part reminded me too much of how Jeph Loeb turned him into an edgelord Megazord and I couldn't really enjoy it.

I finally got around to watching Into the Spider-Verse and of course it was amazing. Just a delight from beginning to end, visually incredible, can't say enough good things about it. Between this, the MCU, and the PS4 game, we're in a really good time for Spider-Man media.

I’m 6 months late on this, but I just watched Venom. It is... not good, but also not boring? The pacing is really weird. The first act takes forever and then the last act with Riot is rushed and the least interesting part of the movie. The middle section with Eddie and Venom getting to know each other and running from/fighting goons is actually a lot of fun and almost makes up for the rest of it. So there are a lot of problems, but having nothing to do with Spider-Man isn’t one of them, and they actually severed it from Spider-Man while keeping the core concept pretty well. It made a bajillion dollars so there will definitely be a sequel, and terrible wig aside, it feels like if they actually put a decent script together there’s still potential for a good schlocky B-movie where Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson are Spider-Man’s Wario and Waluigi.

I hope Sony tries to pretend that their Spider Cinematic Universe is part of the MCU by alluding to some kind of worldwide catastrophe that happened in the recent past.

I enjoyed the gently caress out of it. You're right that isn't any good, but it's fun with lots of property damage to make up for the steaming poo that makes up most of it.

Funny, it was the second act where Venom lost me. I was with it all through the first. I'd have to watch it again to really articulate why, but it suddenly became much less interesting to me.

I saw Venom and then saw Spider-Verse immediately afterwards. It did not help Venom's case very much.

Endgame commercials are getting more spoilery. Saw one last night that used more clips from the final battle and just straight up showed the introduction to smart Hulk. Also prelim weekend box office has it at $148m which would barely be under The Force Awakens for second week BO. Although with a higher first week this means it made more money faster than TFA. Endgame is still completely dominating as number 2 and 3 are both around $10m each.

Endgame is absolutely a movie where, even ignoring possible commercials spoiling the movie, you HAVE to see the movie within at least the first week. Or you are gonna get spoiled just from like... going out to buy milk and some people are talking about it. If you care about spoilers at all, this isn't a movie you wait around on. I felt like I was dodging bullets on the internet just by waiting a few days to see the movie (I waited til Tuesday to see it, I did not want to deal with a weekend opening crowd). And even then I got spoiled on something, but at least it was something I assumed was going to happen 100% so i wasn't bothered by it: Tony Stark dying. I would've been shocked if he had lived. I also got spoiled on Black Widow dying but lol Black Widow. Also didn't get spoiled on how it happens I'm shocked I managed to avoid getting spoiled on how the movie handles fixing Infinity War (the time travel)

Weekend isn’t over and Endgame is now the #2 in the world with 2.188 billion dollars. At this rate even with a considerable drop weekend to weekend it might actually hit 3 billion dollars.

Avatar is at like $2.79 billion, so the movie still needs to make another $600 million to clear that. It's possible but it's going to be tough.

The money is all going to the same place now anyways. Disney megacorporation has its MCU fandom seeing Endgame multiple times in an attempt to beat out another movie's worldwide box office that it also owns. Heh. The only person this should actually and reasonably affect is James Cameron. Maybe. Maybe he doesn't give a gently caress. Records are made to be broken, he got to the top first, etc. I don't think anyone here is championing/cheering for Endgame's box office numbers. Like, everyone knew it was going to make an assload of money. That's not surprising. But it is fascinating to see how much AND how fast money can be made when a studio can engineer a comic book movie franchise to be super palatable, and are 20+ films deep into that franchise. Kind of insane really. Feige is a good businessman.

Uh, it's not like Avatar *loses* money as Endgame makes more. (I am kinda actually cheering for Endgame to make more money than Avatar, because I think in terms of Cinema History, it's better for the top grossing film to be a culmination of a popular franchise that people care about, than a case of it being a weirdo gimmick film.)

Best/worst outcome: Avatar 2 somehow makes 5 billion dollars, James Cameron skydives into the oscars while flipping everyone the bird, Disney purchases several small countries.

Marvel announced what date they considered acceptable to post spoilers online which people have respected at a surprising rate, and also has led people to make sure they see it before that date. People going to see it multiple times are probably going because they like it, not because they are trying to beat some box office. These aren't Serenity fans hoping they can force a new season of firefly into being.

Say what you want about Avatar, but it was movie born from the vision of one guy — not a studio — who wanted to make his blue cat aliens come to life. It wasn't a sequel, or adapted from whatever source material, but it still somehow managed to topple the worldwide box office in a way that a Batman, Harry Potter, or Star Wars movie couldn't. That's a pretty insane feat, and was due to the strength of the director, not a franchise. Avatar making as much money as it did being this weird blue cat alien tech-demo was a crazy anomaly. Endgame was good fun, but I'd personally champion the kind of crazy-rear end, director driven filmmaking behind Avatar — as derivative as it was — as the top of "Cinema History" over a capstone sequel to a megacorporation's 22 film franchise.
