It was really great to see Pepper Potts get her own iron "man" suit.Just wanted to point out this is comic accurate too. She's called Rescue. Pretty obscure, but I remember when Iron Man 3 came out that there were hopes of her becoming Rescue. Man, did they deliver.
I'm sad about a lot of things, but I'm mostly sad that this seems to be the end of an era.I really really really wish this was the end of this era, but not a chance in hell that a movie that males a billion dollars won't result in at least 3 more sequels regardless of what has been said/promised.
When Cap takes the stones back, he also has Mjolnir. I assume he returned it to Thor in the other timeline? It's not an infinity stone, but I assume it's pretty important to that timeline.I thought about that last night and in my head I was like oh yeah he has to take Mjolnir back to past Thor.
I wish I had that. But what about Doctor Strange saying this is the only way they'll win?
I'm still very apprehensive about possibly bringing the FF into the MCU. I'm just not sure how anybody can pull them off in a successful manner(since it's already been tried three times now). Now the X-men? That's a totally different story, just need to find an actor capable of filling good old Wolverine's shoes.

Huh, I'm the complete opposite. Fantastic Four seems very easy to integrate and should be easy to translate into a great film, given they've done so well with worse material.

There is a great version of FF already. It's called The Incredibles.
Oh, I dunno. The old, "It sucks that everyone likes popular stuff, but nobody likes niche stuff" argument never held much water for me.
There's an air of mourning in there, but yeah, it's not totally negative either.
I've always been drawn to serialized stories. Not that there's anything wrong with a self-contained viewing experience, but there's something exciting about knowing that something that happened in issue 23 might come back to haunt someone all the way in issue 80, and it rewards you for being there from the start, taking it all in. While growing up, there really wasn't a lot of entertainment like that. Most TV shows were designed with the idea that everything had to be back to normal by the end of the episode. You could watch the episodes out of order and nothing would seem out of place. I would live for those 2-parter TV episodes, or movies with sequels. Then I got into comic books and I loved that they never ended and always remembered their past. I can still remember coming out of Iron Man after seeing that post-credits movie sequence and excitedly saying after, "Wouldn't it be awesome if they could release all of these superhero movies together and Spider-Man could drop in on The Hulk's movies now and then, just like in the comics?" Watching all of that actually come to be has been glorious.
What I love most about this whole transformation (If you will) is that things like Game of Thrones or Marvel Movies or even Star Wars used to be fringe stuff. Only the geeks watched that stuff. Now I can discuss it openly at work with coworkers almost twice my age. It's like the world has figured out something about geek culture that I've known all along.
This rant has ended up all over the place, but I guess what I'm saying is I have absolutely no reservations about the future of cinema or TV or entertainment in general. I love that we're here.
Darth I think Thanos changed his plans because we all needed to see he truly was a monster and that his outlook on the universe is contingent upon how life reacts to changes in the nature of things. Some might have seen a certain wisdom in what he was doing, but we had to see Thanos, for all his pleadings of altruism is really a sick, sick bastard.I already saw him as that. And I think the general audience member did. I wonder if this was a last minute change due to some sick fan reactions thinking Thanos was right.
I already saw him as that. And I think the general audience member did. I wonder if this was a last minute change due to some sick fan reactions thinking Thanos was right.Who knows? Honestly I think this way it works better, especially because of "Born out of blood", and "They'll never know".
To be fair, he rethought his plan because he saw it wasn't working.But if it didn't accomplish his goal doing it to half the universe all at once, it wouldn't have worked when he did it in person to each planet. So why is this result new to him? He actually says that the planets he did his half extermination on have prospered afterwards. Is he lying about that? Or is did he never check up on it and just assumed it worked?

First season is excellent. The second season was not.

There's only one thing I think they've left open that the comics did they could do as well, and would fit.
I had to explain to one of my best friends in detail why they couldn't bring Black Widow back. I was like... you paid attention during the movie right? You did hear that its an everlasting exchange, right?
Cap: Floating RED guy? Clint, did he have a Red Skull by any chance?
Clint: Well... yeah.
Cap: Holy shit, so that's where he went.
Language!Cap: Aw you gotta be shittin' me.

Clint: Well... yeah.
Cap: Holy shit, so that's where he went.

Doesn't Cap swear right before the title card in Endgame? I remember thinking that they should have returned to the same scene after the title card with someone saying "Language!"Yep, he said "Let's go get this son of a bitch", which is something he also said in Age of Ultron.
The HBO miniseries The Leftovers is apparently about this very thing (based on a novel).
Premise: The series begins three years after the "Sudden Departure", a global event that resulted in 2% of the world's population disappearing, and follows the lives of those who were left behind.
Honestly, I'm really interested in watching this and pretending it's MCU canon. Well, unless they find out the cause isn't an omnipotent alien with magic crystals. And maybe if they don't stress the 2% number too much. Ok, I just want to see these ideas fleshed out like everyone else.
and the returned dead are gonna have a lot of crazy shit to deal with-- they're not gonna be able to just slip right back into their old lives.
These big superhero movies get made fun of for that all the time, and Civil War even tried to address it, and I remember thinking "BOO, Government DICKHEAD who's keeping the Avengers from avenging! You are the Skyler White of the MCU!!!!"
Sounds right in line with real life military ranks. Failing straight up through the chain of command.This is true, but it's not exactly the kind of gritty realism I expected from my fun MCU movies. Especially since it's not even commented on! You'd think at least Banner would have a bit of a problem with that.
I always thought it was interesting that it was Ross who was approached at the end of The Incredible Hulk. I wonder if SHIELD struck a deal with him.I thought there was something in one of the other shorts about SHIELD sending Stark to talk with Ross because they knew Stark would annoy him and keep Ross off their backs or something.

You thought General Ross was the only right and reasonable person in the movie?
I think a big reason Skyler was so disliked is because everyone WANTED to see Walter White continue his downward spiral into villainy, and there was no place for a realistically concerned and suspicious spouse.
