Hulk dutifully trying to smash things was pretty loving great. NGL though, Cap and Mjolnir was the peak for me.

I'm also curious about this because aside from villain characters, the only major actor missing is Clark Gregg (Coulson) probably due to scheduling conflicts.

There some was light flirting if I remember right, but I don't think they kissed or anything. And wasn't that in Winter Soldier?

And thank you, Mr. Nice for explaining the hammer sound. It's been a long time since I watched the original Iron Man, and I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be.

Overall, I'm really glad how they wrapped up Iron Man and Captain America's stories, but I felt a bit let down by how they handled Black Widow. She gets a mention between Wanda and Clint at the end, but no funeral or any real marker about what she contributed.

At that point thanos was extremely weakened by the stones. Every time he used them they hurt him.

Also not sure how many other people caught it, but the shield that Steve gave Sam isn't the same one he's used for all of the other movies. The star had a more intricate design, and the middle ring was white not silver. I wonder if they had any upgrades built in.

Also, in Age of Ultron I thought Cap had the fasteners upgraded to elctromagnets, not just leather straps?

How’d his shield get hosed up in the final battle? I thought it was supposed to be indestructible?

Saw it last night at the very shabby base theater. Watching it on a smaller screen made me feel like I kinda missed out on some of the film's grandeur. After 11 years and dozens of movies, this felt like a great coda for the whole series. It really can only be described as "epic" in scope and scale, and I'm really glad that I got to see it.

Cap's scene at the end was PERFECT. Absolutely perfect.

I have some female friends who are into Marvel movies, and the only one I've had a minute to talk to about it was incredibly hype about the montage of Carol Danvers getting back up at all ages of her life and then beating asses to the most obvious musical cue possible, even though that didn't land particularly well for me. Feeling represented is important to some people, and who am I, a notionally grown adult man who just wrote almost 500 words about a superhero movie sequel, to judge.

I really did not like the way Brie Larson played the character as insufferably smug.

Dead Reckoning posted:

I don't think it's totally unmanagable: they've managed to do some good movies that included both the Hulk, whose superpowers are borderline invincibility and the ability to punch through buildings, and Black Widow, whose superpowers are jujitsu and having no compunctions about shooting people.

Her identity crisis in CM was having a chip on her shoulder about people continually telling her she isn't good enough and a loose cannon, which she resolves by... cutting loose and proving she is in fact he baddest motherfucker in space. It's an external conflict.
Losing the cause you believe in because, "you're a reprogrammed amnesiac and they actually betrayed you from the start" isn't quite the same Steve Rogers' going from truth, justice & the American way to borderline nihilism and distrust of institutions after his future is stripped from him and he's forced to dismantle with his own two hands both of organizations that gave him meaning in an alien future.

Rocket is a wiseass, but they also gave him an emotional friendship with a tree person and neurosis about being a discarded creation to ground the character. Captain Marvel (in the movies) has the bones of a great character, they just need to find her some sort of neurosis like the rest of the Avengers and otherwise flesh her out.

This was part of the problem I had with the movie. It was basically nothing but fan service

So when they traveled through the quantum realm they didn't enter their own timeline, but rather an alternate one. So how did cap stay back in the alternate past and end up in the present reality?


Also, I thought all the asgardians got killed except thor. Why are there enough alive to build a new city? Further, did Banner's snap bring back everyone Thanos has ever killed or just the snapped away people? If the latter, once again how did all the asgardians come back?

Flikken posted:

So what happened to alternate timeline Gamora, did Iron Man's snap kill her?

Dead Reckoning posted:

Tilda Swindon explains that they only create forks in the timeline when they remove an infinity stone, and Banner counters that, if they put the stones back in the exact times and places they steal them from, the timeline should never fork. Cap also erases his past self's memory to avoid that paradox. But it still doesn't explain how their current timeline can exist when the Thanos from their past traveled to the present and then got dusted before being returned to his own time.

i remember there was a bit where her and the blue sister were looking at Chris Pratt and she was like “how did i like this doofus? he’s an idiot” and then the subtext was that she’d taken off

then Pratt’s googling her on his ship when Thor rocks in to join the GotG

Captain Marvel was shot before Endgame and it was very successful at the box office, sexist nerds notwithstanding.

I agree that it was a bit cheap how she just showed up to save the day and disappeared, but it seems she would suffer from the Superman problem - no weakness, sucks the drama out of any story she’s in.
