*** SPOILERS *** Avengers Endgame Discussions

Runwild is right, Theater. While I had problems with the movie, it's definitely a theater worthy movie.

The gal that played Nebula has some serious movement skills...

There's a scene when Nebula is walking towards the camera– And the old song "Poetry in Motion" by Johnny Tillotson hits me. lol

That GAL?

She’s freaking AMY POND!!!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I have been told by many that this flick could have been done in 2 hours and the extra hour was basically fan-service.
Interesting...

I said that and agree.
Not best use of that extra hour.

The numbers motivated me into making this graphic:

As usual, audience options vary about the movie. However, is it valid saying A:E 's explosive box office growth clearly illustrates just how insanely popular this movie has been? I mean, Endgame has netted over 83% of Avatar box office in a mere fraction of the latter's theatrical run. It is positively psychotic.

Cameron's a Type A personality and extremely competitive. He had already voiced his disapproval of Disney/Marvel pumping out comic book adaptations on an assembly line (my words/not his). Endgame's success is likely eating at him like a stomach ulcer. It makes me wonder two things:

A. I wonder how he will feel when Endgame topples Avatar, barring a severe dip in worldwide appeal?
B. I wonder how crazily dedicated he has been in the development of his Avatar sequels?

Did you ever catch her in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle?

It looks like it'll top Avatar, which was just Dances with Wolves in space.

It's kind of funny how he whined about Disney assembly lining it when he flat out ripped off another movie and plans to make sequels about it.

Good stuff, some of which I had guessed. The Black Widow movie is still small consolation for me--if it is actually done that is.

He’s said some crappy things about other movies and directors.
He’s great and all but this burns his arse.

Comic nook movies on assembly line is just a sign of the times. He mad is all. Lol

It will beat avatar.

And... he loses for putting how many years between avatar movies? 11....12.... and counting....

He will never garner this much hype for his avatar sequel. Not even half.

There are no plans for a Winter Soldier prequel and that is criminal.

I'm sure they had some brewskis, caught up, reminisced and then Cap left after returning the stone.

Where there is the will (plus Google and the internet ), there is a way. Thanos' Avengers: Infinity War self-inflicted post-snap damage:

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Ok. So just when we thought it was confirmed.

Multiverses that is.

They are not. Confirmed.

Well, sort of.

So the directors / Russo’s have confirmed that Steve is in alternate universe/timeline with Peggy.

That’s countered by the writers saying he is in same timeline and there are two Steve’s. One in ice until he’s thawed and this Steve.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Talking about the ticket sales from this movie, I think it's even more impressive when you consider "Captain Marvel" itself is breaking into the top-20 movies of all time in gross ticket sales, so back to back you've got about $4 billion dollars worth of ticket sales between the two movies.

It appeared to me that he was in the same timeline. He didn't return to the platform and it didn't look like he was wearing a time jump device. He was sitting on the bench. He knew where everyone was at the time and went and sat on the bench until they noticed him there. Maybe what we were actually viewing at the end was the alternate timeline.

I don't know about the "end of the alternate timeline", but I think you're right about the rest. He wouldn't have known they'd be there, had he created a different timeline. The only explanation I can think of, is that he returned the stones to the exact places necessary, and cleaned up all the paradoxes perfectly, minimizing any butterfly effects. Hard to imagine one man could accomplish all that, when every one of them had a hand in screwing it up in the first place....but I digress. Not one person on the planet knows, or ever will know the outcome of going back in time and changing the past, or if it's even possible to make anything different in the past, so to allow any of this to affect one's enjoyment of the film is just looking for a reason.

Seriously that was the single most overhyped movie of all time.

I don’t think they knew what to do with he plot or all the characters so it became a big, slow, mish mash of nonsense while they proceeded to ruin or kill off the best characters, bring in rando characters that added nothing but confusion, and tried to mix a series of emotional conundrums with mindless action fighting.
Why does Thor have an axe? Why did Cap get Thor’s hammer? That’s just epically dumb while trying to make an epic film. Thor has a hammer, it’s only his. If it will go to anyone worthy then how does it know where to go. Just stick with the fact that Thor has a hammer. You added nothing by giving him an axe and someone else his hammer. This and a 100x other idiocies.
I was thankful for Scarlett that they killed off her character, she was being wasted as an actress in this mess. Also killing off Downey Jr so the only actor worth seeing in any future films would be Thor but you took him from the god of thunder to bumbling Lebowski drunk idiot.
Frankly, Thanos was almost the only one that made any sense and I’ll tell you they will never have a better bad guy than Thanos.
This movie was a hot mess. I think they wrote infinity wars and then said “crap, how do we bring this back to where the good guys win and have every character make some sort of cameo?”
Once Daniel Tosh wrote one line to start a story and let twitter followers send randomly write the rest of the story, this reminded me of that.

Total fight throughout for creative control between writers that want a few, deep characters and classic eternal emotional/philosophical quandaries and some drunk teenage writers that want a mindless orgy of action. In the end, everyone lost.

Go
YouTube Ben Shapiros review of the movie, spot on although I probably hated it more than he did.

I'm guessing you didn't see Thor: Ragnarok, in which his sister, Hela destroyed the hammer. Also, the fact that Cap could pick up the hammer meant that he was worthy, it doesn't mean he's Thor.

Perhaps he also missed the original Thor film.



Seriously. Odin could not have been any more clearer about who and how anyone could wield Mjolnir.
