Thor entering Wakanda is much more hype then everyone joining the final battle in Endgame
- Thread starter fanboi
- Start date
I still remember my theater going absolutely ballistic when Thor dropped in with Rocket and Groot. It's still funny to me that Thor became #1 OG Badass after his two awful solo outings lol.
Hard disagree.
The portals scene is one of the hypest moments in movie history and it was preceded by Cap fighting with Mjolnir.

I feel like you severely misunderstand the universal appeal. "Nerds"
EDIT: Also it's the Avengers Assemble for sure. But no one ever said the two couldn't coexist as great
But in comparison, Thor doesn't even say "Avengers assemble" at all.
Still Avengers Assemble. From the lows of certain defeat with only Cap standing-up to Thanos and his army to euphoric highs of seeing formerly dusted heroes coming back to join the fight is a landmark fanboy movement that would be very hard to top even from similar dynamic entrances in the MCU (like Thor, Rocket and Groot in IW) or outside of it.
There are so many great moments in both films.
Scarlet Witch unleashing her fury full force.
Thor's entrance.
Cap wielding Mjolnir.
Captain Marvel bodying...everyone (and no selling the headbutt)
The portals.
The entire football pass of the gauntlet.
The list goes on. None of the moments make any of the others lesser. They in fact all make each other MORE great.

Thanos about to kill Thor and Cap summoning MewMew and then beating the dog shit out,of Thanos is not going to be topped... until they adapt that scene from the X-Men comics where Cyclops, backed up by his Xtinction team, tells a Celestial to get the fuck off of his planet.
Nah definitely not. The portal scene is much better. The leadup of Captain America facing off against Thanos and his army, then the first portal appearing, then all the rest with that music... an insane comic book moment come to life.
The scenes with Carol are great too.
"Something just entered the upper atmosphere"
This bothers me. He can't hold her back with the full power of the gauntlet but he can body her with just the Power stone?
It was just my ignorance then as I wasn't aware he had to snap his fingers or create a fist to use the stones. That makes sense then, and I should have known as that was the same tactic they tried to use on him in IW.
He needs to be able to close his hand to use the gauntlet, remember the cape and the way it wrapped around the gauntlet in the previous movie with Dr. Strange in order to "disable" it?
edit: beaten
It does, but it helps that Infinity War is a vastly better movie.
LOL. I hope I someday get to see one of you whiners actually leave due to people enjoying a movie. That would be hilarious.
For what it's worth, that's not what it sounds like in person, anyway. The mike is picking up the people well, the movie poorly. Notice how you can barely hear "Bring me Thanos" even though the crowd has quieted at the end.
To this day, the first Avengers film on opening night is my favorite moviegoing experience. All the hype and excitement
And that scene got claps
I like the the Thor moment because we didn't know what to expect. Also the endgame scene with everyone showing up was for sure hype but what made that magical was cap saying avengers assemble
Portals was fan service where you knew how it was going to end before it began, there was a lot more drama built better in Infinity War
I think the Thor entering Wakanda moment is definitely a hype moment, but I think the Avengers Assemble in Endgame is even more hype, because it's a huge payoff comparatively. And I don't just mean because it's the "final" battle of the 24 films series, but because prior to this moment, the Avengers are at their lowest. Sure, they retrieved the stones and created a new gauntlet, but they lost important people, and Thanos had just beat the everloving shit out of Thor, Cap, and Iron Man. After Infinity War, an absolute victory for the Avengers was no longer certain.
Cap being Cap, and facing down Thanos and his army by himself is such an amazing moment. And then, just as tensions are at their highest: "Cap, it's Sam. Can you read me? ...On your left." Then the portal appears, and out steps Black Panther, Okoye, and Shuri. Then the floodgates open, and out pours the rest of the heroes, and the Sorcerers, and the Wakandans, and the Ravagers, and the Asgardians?
I've never seen an audience lose their shit like I did during Endgame. They certainly popped when Thor showed up in Wakanda, but nothing like the Avengers Assembling in Endgame. It's no contest for me, personally.

Thor for me. Portals felt Really hollow for me. They all show up do some flashy shit but ultimately do nothing I guess. Just one big fat CGI fest with nothing of note really going on other than pretty colours.
No way. On your left has such a better build up that Thor just appearing there and goign all yolo (don't get me wrong I love it too).
I fucking love this shot.
Nah, it's this.
I fucking love this shot.
I feel so... alien. I have nothing against people cheering that shit, it's ace it makes em so excited.
I just feel so... unlike that. It's odd. AM I DEAD INSIDE?
