I don't think the Russos were as into that pairing as Whedon was.
I feel like every named and relevant character from the other movies was probably dusted too and the franchise will just ignore the whole 5 years thing and act like the world is completely normal now.
I believe only Whedon ever liked that. Really disliked that in Ultron and was happy to see Thor Ragnarok mocking it, they know it wasn't a good idea for both characters.
They literally show him going into a meditation and viewing all the paths in IW right before he gives up the stone
Yeh he's in some weird trance that looks like he's existing out side of time and space for a moment, or flitting between... it's magic.
No, even worse is General Ross being there. Why didn't Hulk just power bomb his ass?
I can't see how Far From Home wouldn't touch on the fact that half of them kept getting older while the others were gone.
People die dude... Someone needed to go, and it was absolutely fitting for her arc that it was her.
Lol! I think it's safe to say both Agent tv series are canon and part of Movie MCU. Can't really say for the Netflix series.
I love how people are saying that this reminds them of an actual comic book. Because it's true, it does feel like a major crossover even more so than the first one. I also love the subtle cleaning up of continuity that some crossovers do, like taking care of the Loki and Gamora situation thanks to time travel.
I think you're right. IIRC they were asked on the Infinity War press tour about that pairing and they said something like, you'll have to ask Joss about that.
HI-5!
I swear, maybe cause I just got out of the theater and I need sleep, but I'm pretty sure this is the best comic book movie ever.
Because then he would turn into Red Hulk and ruin the funeral.
This movie has made me super excited for guardians three now. They better not be teasing us with that last scene, but I love the idea of Gamora and star lord having to fall in love again and her being back to her old bad ass self So she also has to learn to be a family with her sister and the other guardians.
Liz Allan Toomes is played by the stunning Laura Harrier. Unlike the rest of the high school cast (almost all from teen to very early 20s), she is now 29 years old. My point is that Liz is a character that evolved to a sort of a villain role in the comics, I could see an older Liz returning for that saga eventually.
I think they had a pretty cool chemistry in Ultron and there was no payback at all lol
Hulk/Banner needs more love.
Doctor Strange could look forward in time through 14.000.605 timelines. So travelling forward makes sense to me. Their time travel gps devices were able to place them at exact moments and times. Which makes it possible for Steve to come right back to the bench in current time after he's lived those 70 years with Peggy.
The movie also told you that you cannot change the past. If you change something (like knock out Star-Lord, steal a stone, goes back to Peggy), the timeline breaks out into new timelines.
It fits so well... the real convenience is that two people turned up to the soul stone that loved each other. :p
(another can of worms, lol)
That would be cool... I hope they keep the continuity going with references to all of this in the future.
You know what's funny? I went to see this in a major NCAA college town and when Carol arrived, everyone was cheering, even my 11-year-old boy.
But I want to have a play that Way in middle America.
Me thinking she's not deep doesn't mean I think she's a bad character. Most of the Avengers aren't all that deep. I like her character, that's why I wanted to see more of her in the movie instead of getting killed off.
All his relevant cast got dusted apparently, everyone is the same. I doubt they'll talk much about it besides "oh yeah we'll miss random student 12 that graduated already".
The Russos confirmed in an interview that Aunt May didn't get dusted.
Thanos seemed to get a buff for the end battle scene, no? He was just as strong/powerful (possibly more powerful) than in IW when he had the gauntlet and the stones I thought.
You just provide the reason why pym being there is not weird.
Whatever the differences between the starks & pym, you gotta honor the man the save the world.
The only thing I didn't like about the soul stone part was Nebula not telling them that someone would've had to die to get it. That aside, the fact that there's the Black Widow movie and a Hawkeye show made me think that there would be something at the last minute that would let them get away with neither having to die, so it was really surprising when Natasha ended up forcing Clint to drop her.
The awkward part is that she rented out his room for 5 years to make ends meet and now has to get rid of her tenant.
That was prior to Endgame. After the film, I doubt she wasn't, but yeah, there's that. May would be in an awful place in her mind if that's the case. I sort of wish that she wasn't.
I don't agree that she's not deep relative to the other heroes. She's very fleshed out relatively, and again this is pretty impressive considering she doens't have a standalone (yet).
And about 30 minutes tops of actual screen time spent talking.
Also it's interesting the comments on time travel because as much as they planned on preserving the timeline and captain did everything he could, likely included staying very low-key over the last 70 years with Peggy, probably not even showing up at her funeral, but despite all of that there were some major hiccups. Loki, Thanos dying sooner, Gamora. If their lore of time travel is true, that means that they failed to maintain the timeline regardless of caps attempt to bring back the stones. May as well just kept the fucking things because they already created a separate timeline.
Thanos without the stones is already much stronger than Hulk. We never really see him fight with all 6 stones, just fire off that one beam attack. Maybe peak Thor would've had an easier time but he's wildly out of shape for this movie haha
I think its impressive just how deep of a character Black Widow is in the MCU given the lack of a movie focused solely on her yet.
The Infinity Stones are the foundation of the universe, as the Ancient One explains. You can remove a single individual from the timeline because the universe is 14 billion years old and will course correct itself, but the Infinity Stones are the underlying foundation and if they are removed from their correct time period it will blow everything up.
I think it would be more plausible if Strange was really just running 14 millions future simulations.
Nebula is now a reformed villain, but also a very practical person. She not telling them - and maybe even suggesting that the two go together off screen - is very much something I see it as in character for her. The way she treats Scott warning Rhodes that there's an idiot in the landing zone AND the fact she is the only one that knows the location of Volmir sort of hints to me that she knew, but didn't warn them. Nebula is easily the character from the Guardians films that had more growth from the last two Avengers films.
Yeah but couldn't he have seen 7 million possibilities of him not giving the stone, all failing and 7 possibilities of him giving the stone, with 1 leading to victory?
That would still be reason enough to give it.
If you'd simplify it to 4 scenarios he saw (instead of 14 million)
1. Escape with stone and rescue Tony, Thanos wins
2. Escape with stone, leave Tony, Thanos wins
3. Give stone, but not summon all armies, Thanos wins
4. Give stone, summon all armies, Avengers win.
Now would he give the stone? Yes because it is the only way they can win, but it is not a guaranteed win. I am not seeing how there is only one scenario out of 14 million he saw where he would give up the stone. Unless I am misunderstanding something.
This movie was amazing. I thought IW captured the feeling of reading a line-wide comic book event in film form, but Endgame surpassed it.
Did anyone else think about Secret Wars when Thanos was talking about his new plan? Basically describing what Doom eventually does.
Was also nice to see Jim Starlin get a cameo at the survivor's meeting.
Have way more thoughts but bottom line is this movie is a real feat.

You know can't be a coincidence that she was part of the foursome that went to 2014, she probably had a hand in deciding that Nat and Clint would go for the soul stone.
It blows my mind seeing people that preffers IW to this one.
My problem with Marvel movies, most of the time, is that even when facing death, they are cracking jokes and one liners. This "feel good" vibe always ruined the emotional parts for me. They were always fun movies to watch, but I couldn't care less for the heroes safety. "Saving the universe" sounds just like a shallow motivation to me. I preffer personal stuff to get me emotionally involved.
With EG they did a pretty good job humanizing the heroes and showing the impact on them of the last film's ending.
Thor's depression, Nat's and Tony's sorrow and the whole vibe honestly did a lot for me to connect emotionally with them. This time I cared for their victory like I've never did before with any Marvel movie.
Seeing people complaining about pacing and length also bogles my mind. I imagine these people watching LotR back then at cinemas, saying that the movies are boring. The first hour of EG was great, and made the emotional payoff that much satisfying in the end. Felt like a 2h movie to me.
Excellent movie.

There is no problem with having separate timelines. The problem is if those timelines doesn't have an Infinity Stone in them.
Nebula didnt know the rules on how to get the soul stone. All she knew was that Thanos and Gamora went there to get it and only Thanos came back. She didnt know the circumstances of Gamora's death.
Yes, and that reason is valid for Aunt May too. Tony Stark gave his boy back. (responding the posts about aunt may being in the funeral was "weird")
