I'm with you. I was left wanting.So is it alright to think the movie was just OK, or is this like the GOT thread where you get blasted if you dont love everything about it?
Thor's Hammer - people that are worthy can lift it. Cap is worthy. It's straight from the comics.
I love fan-service as much as the next guy, maybe even more so. But there was 30 minutes that could have EASILY been cut from that movie.Andy Dufresne said:
Pretty sure it will catch Force Awakens. The next few weeks are quite devoid of any movies that will challenge it for ticket sales. Then, end of the month you have Godzilla and Dark Phoenix the following weekend. It should cruise over $1B dometically and $3B world wide without much issue.NewlyRetired said:
I came to the same conclusion. He was SO menacing in Infinity War. But he was just, I dunno, diminished in this one.
The first Thanos in the movie is the retired and satisfied with a job well done Thanos, so easy pickings for the Avengers to beat.
That's not what I meant. I meant that, even as the powerful Thanos he just seems more generic in Endgame.
Yeah to some extent the first movie is about Thanos, the second one is about defeating him.
YES! I always say that Hollywood no longer finds good actors. Instead they find people who are what they want the character to be. Dude is a huge tool. Very high on himself.
The black guy is Sam Wilson, aka Falcon. Captain America is a symbol, not just a hero. In this movie, as in the comics, they feel Cap should go on even when Steve Rogers is no longer able to. In the comics, there have been a few different CAs. Bucky (the Winter Soldier) and Sam have both carried the shield in the comics. For the movies they decided to pass it to Sam because Bucky is tired of war and being in the world after the events of Civil War. He stepped up to fight Thanos, but I think he'd happily go back into retirement. So Sam will be CA now.
You're complaining about solving time travel in a movie series whereby six fictional stones, when put together, can kill half of the universe? Odd shtick.
At least colored rocks is sort of unique.
Sure but normally only as a conceit to put the character in a new situation.Doctor Who's been doing it for 55 years. Just sayin'...
And that's what I figured. But I feel like a lot of times the movies don't do a great job explaining what's happening.
For me it's not complaining about "solving" time travel, just the fact that now there's all these different strands to try to keep in the duder's head, man. What happened in which timeline? Who is alive where? Just gets a little too confusing IMO.
Mysterio, in the comics, uses illusions to make people believe something that isn't real is real.
We've had similar conversations over in the MCU thread. Wasn't sure if we wanted to clutter the Endgame thread with Far From Home discussions - even though they are related.
I watch the credits for every movie. It let's the experience sink in. Time to think about what we just watched. Time to stay in a place that isn't the real world flying at me. Gives every movie more time to breathe in the mind space before parking lots, cell phones, conversations, and radios break back in to your conscience.
The movies have done a great job explaining what's happening, for the most part. You said yourself, you haven't seen them all and you forget things. They can't really account for that in a movie that is a conclusion to 22 movies worth of stuff.
I understand what you're saying, but if you are going to end the movie on a scene that not everyone knows why is happening, that's odd. I get it if you make small references throughout the movies. But to end a 22 movie arc on scene that only the comic book readers would understand without context is just bad.
And I would have loved the movie even more if he would have said to Cap, "Look. Look at me.... I am the Captain now."
The movie goers got it too though because they watched the movies. It's like jumping in to the return of the Jedi and wondering why the guy in the black mask is fighting the kid and then saves him two seconds later.
It wasn't just for the comic people. Falcon played a big role in the last two Cap films, was in the first Ant-Man movie and Infinity War. Not knowing him is kind of on you.
I get what you are saying. Captain America is represented as an iconic symbol of American history having fought in a World War. So to simply pass the shield as if you are passing the mantle is a little weak.
I didn't say I didn't know who the black guy was. I just said I couldn't remember his superhero name. What I was saying was we didn't understand why Cap would hand his shield over to another superhero to become Captain America. It would be like Batman handing off his utility belt to Superman.
Where in the movies did it say that Captain America would eventually pass the torch to some other superhero?
