Fat people aren't a minority.

They are onscreen.

And especially in superhero movies.

Can’t wait for the first plus size superhero trans womyn. Check two boxes at once!

Oh yes. Apparently to please the SJW crowd, Thor should have went to counciling to deal with his PTSD. In a damn comic book movie. LOL, you can’t make this crap up.

Dr. Strange definitely had it out for Tony. I agree with that theory. What an asshole.

The whole time I was like Clint, put the stupid glove on and snap.

Doctor Strange probably orders his steaks well done too.

Well played Dr. Strange. You played the most brilliant mind in the world and can now claim that title.

Outstanding.

I was beginning to wonder why nobody was thinking about this. But they were!

My faith in humanity is restored.

The main character development throughout this franchise has been ... just damn awesome. (The post credit sound of a hammer on iron was borderline chilling.)

I'll miss The Bobfather, but I trust Feige to pilot the ship going forward. He even has a ton of new character tools to use. If they can keep the actors out of jail, the future looks bright.

So time travel is obviously a well worn sci-fi trope.

Is this one of the best time travel movies of all time?

Back to the Future
The first two Terminator flicks
Star Trek IV
The Time Machine.


I think it’s right up there with those.

I think that was the worst part of the movie so no. They completely hosed up time travel in this movie.

Depends on what you think the rules are. Chew on this for a minute: Bucky knew what Cap was doing when he jumped back in time. The last thing Bucky says to him is, " Gonna miss you, buddy." When Cap doesn't reappear the film only shows Hulk and Sam reacting with surprise. Bucky is out of those shots. The next time you see Bucky he's walking away slowly with a sly grin on his face, and then Bucky sees old Cap on the bench.

In all of this I forgot to mention fat Thor, I know some hated him but I thought he was some of the best parts of the film.

My inner 15 year old comic book nerd that got hooked on Marvel starting with the original Secret Wars story and going through all the Infinity Gauntlet stories and spin offs was completely geeked out and loving every second. The Russo Brothers pulled off this story about as well as they possibly could have considering they had maybe only 60% of the players needed to tell it properly (imho, considering the original content). I do think Infinity War was the better movie all around, but Endgame is just a notch or two-three under it. Did NOT feel like a three hour movie, and I will gladly pay to see it a couple of more times in the theaters.

My (minor) gripes about the movie...

- I didn't like how they essentially de-nutted the three heavy hitters the heroes had. Professor Hulk was just kind of there mostly, being the second string big brain. I did enjoy the scene with him and the Ancient One, and that scene where Thanos blew the Avengers compound to hell and Hulk was essentially holding the compound up to save Rocket and Rhoadie was a nod to the original Secret Wars when Molecule Man dropped and entire mountain on the heroes and Hulk was holding it up. Nice touch by the Russos there. Thor's story was good albeit cheesy (although he's really already had his redemption arc in Ragnarok), but I liked how he got to say goodbye to his mother and find out he was still worthy of Mjolnir. Captain Marvel was just sent out of 90% of the picture, but I can kind of understand. If those three weren't set up like they had been and were at full strength working together, they would have taken down a non-gauntlet wielding Thanos not easily, but eventually and rather quickly.

- I don't really care about the logic/nonsense of the time travel aspect. They spun a new angle of telling a story that has been beat to death in sci-fi over the years, so I enjoyed it.

Also, I love how they paid homage to the past MCU movies in some fashion. I think they touched on most of them, and I really enjoyed how they brought it all together. I loved the scene where Cap told Sitwell and the Strike Team "Hail Hydra" in the elevator (I thought they were setting up another elevator fight scene, lol). And I like how all the original actors showed up for their parts, even if it was only for a few seconds.


This movie was a huge, huge undertaking, and they hit it. Good for them, and good for Marvel.

And of course, Cap calling Mjolnir. I figured that was coming at some point, especially how he moved it in Age of Ultron (not mentioning how he wielded it in the comics). The audience I was with went nuts when it happened. Great moment.
