You just in general aren’t supposed to know details of filming locations. He's actually specified as being in Rocina for whatever reason, like, in the film. I don't know why they specified this. I mean, it's where they shot it, and it is a remarkable location that they use well. It just make no loving sense and has troubling implications.

I guess I'm saying you are just not supposed to ever know anything about filming and setting locations. They are nearly universally wrong. Like every movie has the pyramids in the middle of the desert instead of next to the pizza hut and like, every american city is in toronto. Like rocina is next to a jungle because they say it is, just like the plane graveyard that is clearly in a desert is somehow on the other side of a wall at a museum in washington dc in transformers 3.

I just think it's hilarious that the first half hour could have been set anywhere (the outskirts of the city, for instance) and they specifically wrote that it took place in the centre of this giant city right next to the cbd and one of the most visited tourist spots on the planet.

No, it was specifically done as a reference to Thanoscopter.

It’s a reference to the double-bladed knife he shows Gamora in Infinity War, when he says the “perfectly balanced, as all things should be” line.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Does this movie still rule No, it hasn't beaten Avatar in box office gross. As we all know, box office gross is the only true metric of cinematic quality. We all agree on this fact. And, even if we don't, it's certainly how our capitalist overlords decide what media we are allowed to consume as we slave and toil to grow their ungodly wealth in our wretched, debaucherous, diseased nation as we live our short, pointless, existentially insignificant jokes of a life.

I was forced to rewatch infinity war yesterday, and I was mostly bored throughout, but a couple of things stood out The avengers jingle was seriously overused The hulk was done dirty Vision was done worse . The plan during the invasion was dumb as all gently caress. Like, the shield was obviously pretty good at keeping things out , opening a section of it was pretty drat stupid The movie goes to great lengths to portray thanos as a misunderstood person making the hard choices, and that's pretty loving gross imo Thors sidequest was pretty cool, felt appropriately mythical They also seemed to build towards comparing Stark to Thanos as a similar great man making hard choices, but that kinda fizzled out?

McCloud posted:The hulk was done dirty I was pleasantly surprised by Endgame at least trying to give everybody a Moment, but in hindsight it just makes Vision's treatment in the last one more hilarious. They managed to give loving War Machine a few emotional moments, but the guy who was a Macguffin in several movies gets only mentioned in passing by Scarlet Witch, and you can't even be sure if she talks about him or her deceased brother. Anyway, they should have kidnapped Quicksilver from another dimension, he could have grabbed the Gauntlet and been halfway across the country before Thanos could even twirl his copter blade.

The fact that that vision was a huge part in infinity war, to the detriment of captain America and cap-adjacent characters, but is 100% forgotten in endgame is really funny. Like, loving Ultron has a larger acknowledgement by the movie (he's directly alluded to by stark), get hosed vision

Him being iced out of Endgame would be fine if Infinity War was a satisfying, self-contained story (it isn't), but then his story is still poo poo. It's like if Pulp Fiction gave the glowing briefcase a love interest.

Fair, but I wouldn't think of any of those as lacking a big climax. Iron Man even has to do some really stupid poo poo to get to its final battle, where Stane gets in a mech suit and goes on a rampage rather than just, i don't know, ordering security to stop Pepper. But, dammit, we need two CGI things to hit each other. Strange is an especially weird example, since it has a big battle (the backwards one) it's just not the focus of or resolution to the scene.

https://io9.gizmodo.com/avengers-endgame-is-returning-to-theaters-real-soon-a-1835649149/amp I literally can't think of them doing this for any other reason than just trying to eke out enough to be avatar for highest grossed. I mean I know that sounds stupid, but it actually sounds like something I could see an executive wanting to do just so they can say that they helped oversee the highest grossing movie of all time. I mean, can you think of any other reason to release an Extended Cut of a film only a couple months after its original release and to do so in theaters?

They should just do a full lord of the rings, extended cut edition for a re-release if they're going to try and do this, screw only this 'bonus credit screen.' Stick in enough to bring it up to over 4 hours, toss in an intermission. Make it so long we have to take an entire day off work.

I don't think I will. Just know that after I returned all the stones, closed off all the parallel branches, and restored the timeline, I decided to see what I missed out on in my 1940. And yeah, I met a girl, maybe you could say I had an old debt and a dance to pay, and I explained everything about being frozen, how I would eventually be found decades later, who I was, when I came from. . . I wanted to make sure I was doing it by the book, making sure she knew it all, knew what she would get into. And by god, we lived a good life. Lived a whole lifetime together. You wouldn't believe what the world was up to behind our backs these last years, when we were so busy. But I made sure I got back here, I just took the long way about it."

Covok posted:I mean, can you think of any other reason to release an Extended Cut of a film only a couple months after its original release and to do so in theaters? From what I know, it's not even an an actual extended cut either. The "new" footage is actually just a scene culled from Spider-Man: Far From Home that's been attached to Endgame as the post-credits stinger. Disney is literally re-releasing Endgame as a 3-hour long advertisement for the next movie in the MCU. It's clear this is an attempt to maximize profits, but more importantly, it's also pretty obvious that the studio wanted some kind of push to dethrone Avatar as the top worldwide grosser worldwide. Disney might own Avatar now, but they don't want James Cameron at the top. It has to be their studio at the top of the worldwide box office, and now they have the power to do that. It's petty as gently caress lol.
