I've felt it myself (kinda have it right now if I'm being honest) but I've seen it and the awful anxiety it brings utterly loving hamstring people. Oh, hey, I dug your video on the Genesis Jurassic Park game. Every word was true. One of the few times I was able to impress people at a party with video game expertise was beating that game as the raptor.

I am grateful to Endgame for giving me a good spot to jump off and ignore future Marvel movies that aren't Guardians or Thor related.

The Antman and Wasp movies are pretty awesome too if you like heist movies.

One thing I always thought was weird was one character didn’t want to go back in time to fix things because of his kid, but all the people who would come back to dead people, or people that died as a result of the snap like a pilot flying a plane at the time wasn’t brought up at all.

My assumption was that international and domestic flights were grounded as soon as a gently caress-off huge spaceship appeared over New York and some aliens started loving poo poo up on the streets.

They don't ever defeat the Thanos that won. yeah it is pretty lame. also captain america going back in time to live his life breaks the rules of time travel that the story established but more importantly its insanely dumb from a character perspective.

I liked Endgame as an overall movie. But the way they handled Thanos was confusing at best. It felt like one of those serial twoparters were the second part is always unable to deliver on the hype of the first part in some aspects.

Emm...somewhat. It's weird and raises lots of questions, but at the same time... Cap's thing had always been that he was selfless to a fault, even as a weakling ready and willing to go die over in Europe during WW2, and in time every choice he could make while still being true to his motality only pushed him further in that direction. Meanwhile, Tony Stark was a brillianr playboy war profiteer who never had to stop and think of the consequences of his trade and actions, until they exploded in his face. Even when the two clash, they are kinda meeting halfway as they change their worldviews; Cap is being selfish and protecting a friend, and Tony is trying to bring lasting security to the world. And at the very end, they are where the other started, in a way. Steve leaves the worldbe the world he found when he defrosted and lives a private life with his love, and tony selflessly sacrifices himself. Say what you will, I liked that weird convergence.

Replacing the main villain with a less interesting version of himself isn’t exactly a great move either. And yes, having your characters have an argument on how time travel doesn’t work on back to the future rules, only for it to actually do after all is incredible dumb.

DeafNote posted:I liked Endgame as an overall movie. But the way they handled Thanos was confusing at best. I look at Infinity War as intentionally being coloured by Thanos' perspective. He's basically the main character of the film, and has convinced himself that he's being altruistic, when in reality, he's just an abuser who victimises entire worlds while shouting "look at what you're doing to me!" the entire time, and expects everyone to be grateful for his sacrifice. The 2014 Thanos that pops into the present in Endgame is basically a younger mask-off Thanos, whom, having seen the footage of Thor chopping his head off and hearing Lebowski Thor, Iron Man and Cap telling him to go gently caress himself, convinces him that he might as well take the stones and rebuild a universe from scratch that would appreciate him in a way that the existing one clearly never will.

I was under the impression that he just took a very long time to use his time doohickey to come back to the main timeline, as opposed to coming back immediately after returning the last stone like he was supposed to.

No. Cap went back in time to return everything to PREVENT alternate timelines, in fact, this may have been a case of predestination paradox, where he always went back and had a happy life with Peggy.

it's so loving funny that cap's entire arc through the entire MCU was accepting that he's a man out of time and adapting to it, be it in pop culture references or accepting that near everyone he loved kept living without him. So naturally his payoff is going back in time and not having to grow old without those people and all. Character development is boring, we got space portals and meaningless fistbumps between five women who have never met each other before to film!

Endgame is worth it for the portals scene because it’s the exact stupid poo poo I wanted to see since they started it. I never really rewatch endgame outside of that scene.

I don’t really give that much of a poo poo about iron man, but these movies ended up playing a decent part in my late teen years and early 20’s so idk. Maybe a bit nostalgic for the time.

Honestly, his character was one that spent his entire life making sacrifices, and I felt that him bowing out by choosing the life he wished he had when he has the opportunity to do so was a nice way to bring his arc full circle. Sort of like how Tony Stark goes from being a selfish, Randian rear end in a top hat, to sacrificing his own life for others like Dr Yinsen did for him in Iron Man.

They ruined Captain America so badly he stops being the Giving Tree we all know and love the character for being. Awful corporate cowardly depictions of characters are exactly what fanfiction was made for and I am a steadfast fan of 'Aggressively socialist Captain America' that can't stay out of jail.
