Avengers (4) Endgame - Spoilers Welcome Thread

[DaFace]

Since Endgame is probably one of the most anticipated films we've had here in a while, let's quarantine all discussion from those who have seen the film (or who have otherwise read spoilers). If you don't want to see stuff get spoiled, stay out!

(And this will likely be the last time I view this thread until Friday, so if you need me to put something in the OP or similar, shoot me a PM. I won't read posts in here.)

No. Because that was part of the plot of the movie.

And it wasn't all guys. It was EVERYBODY. It wasn't all guys in every other frickin' shot.

They had *gasp* male AND female characters in multiple shots multiple times!

The thought of such a thing!

Cramming "see! women can be superheroes TOO!" down our throats to satisfy political agendas is reeruned because that point was made decades ago.

Meh. It makes my wife and a lot of the other women I know happy. I have trouble seeing something wrong with it. It was literally less than 30 seconds of a three hour film.

I mean it didn't ruin the movie by any means. Far from it.

It's just stupid, and I see why people don't like it.

Women have their own shit. Romantic comedies, flowery period dramas, tv shows where the cast is ALL WOMEN, an entire ****ing cable channel literally named "television for women."

They don't need to parade into movies that have men as the target demographic and take ****ing group selfies at the climactic moment of the movie. Leave that shit for instagram and facebook.

Besides, Iron Man proved who the weaker sex was.

I thought it was great. Looking back, it certainly had it's flaws. It opened up a bunch of unanswerable questions with the time machine and what that means for the now real present. But this is a comic book scifi movie after all. Thor was great, I thought that character arc worked really well and was pretty funny. I really didn't like what they did with Professor Hulk. That came off as way too dumb and quirky for my liking. Disappointed that we didn't see any Hulk fighting and only goofy Hulk joking. Wanted to see more of Korg too. Wanted to see more Spidey. Can't nail everything.

poor spidey... it's like he was held back for five years due to truancy

**** that shit. This is 2019. Women can like sci-fi. Men can like flowery period dramas. Hell, the same people can like them both. Organ placement shouldn't determine anyone's taste in fiction.

This is going to become one of the highest grossing movies of all time specifically because they figured out how to get women to see and like comic movies despite centuries of social programming. It's not the phenomenon it is without that.

What you guys who react so poorly to this need to figure out is why you feel so threatened. It's not like they have or will ever stop catering to you as a fan, too. They want your money just as much as they want everybody else's. And if they do continue to develop female characters and even - gasp - focus on some of them or even groups of them, they're gonna try and find ways to get our male asses into seats, too.

And part of the reason there's so much focus on women is because there's been so little in the past. Eventually there will be enough female producers and directors and writers and characters that giving women that kind of responsibility, like we've seen with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, won't be new or novel or groundbreaking, and eventually we'll just have writers and directors and actors, without gender tags, and the focus can be on making good movies with the best people. Like it should be.

Rant over.

fyi: the kid in the back right during the wake, was the boy from iron man 3... i didn't know this.

as well, why the ****, if in infinity war, thor and thanos could only go to the dwarf star, to harness the stones, were they able to simply make a robotic mitten to do the same?

they could have shown more of those things instead of forcing us to watch them moping around depressed for 1/3 or more of the movie.

Agree. There was no need for a fat Thor other than for comic relief. Thor is not a comic relief bit in a MCU movie. Hulk is the ****ing Hulk, not a professor of physics that happens to be a large man.


Russo brothers made a great movie. But, they should be called out for their bad decisions too.

He was in the comics, and I owned the issue of his 1st appearance

Beyond that, it was just cringe how all the women superheroes happened to line up in the same location. So darn corny and obvious.

OK. Thanks.

[Sassy Squatch]

Who gives a shit? It was corny and shoehorned in and lasted for less than 30 seconds. Same thing happened in Wakanda in Avengers Infinity War.
