Since Endgame is probably one of the most anticipated films we've had here in a while, let's quarantine all discussion from those who have seen the film (or who have otherwise read spoilers). If you don't want to see stuff get spoiled, stay out!
(And this will likely be the last time I view this thread until Friday, so if you need me to put something in the OP or similar, shoot me a PM. I won't read posts in here.) [Reply]

That's simply not the case. Hulk was charging in with everyone else at the end. [Reply]

I think Infinity War was the best combination of funniest, most entertaining and best written movie in the MCU.
I don't disagree too much with the last sentence -- though I think Civil War was better.
But I think the Endgame time travel was more creative than just about any other time travel movie I've seen, and they had Oscar winning actors bobbing in and out with very little contribution. Natalie Portman was brought in to stroll across the floor. Swinton steals the scenes both times she's on screen. Samuel L. Jackson just glares. Loki's on screen three times and I'm not even sure he says anything.
And, of course, it ends the arcs of Cap, Romanov, and Stark, which is way ballsier than Infinity Wars threatening to end Gamora and actually ending Vision. Just one of the ballsiest movies I've ever seen, I think.
Anyway, we're just arguing favorites here. [Reply]

The part I was looking forward to was Hulk getting over his fear of Thanos and kicking his ass.. instead we got a one armed Hulk fighting behind the scenes.. [Reply]

Per the directors, Hulk was not scared of Thanos.
Per the directors, he didn't just want to be rolled out to play hero, then rolled back into Banner again. He was seeking a better balance.
In Ragnarok, one attempt at that was just taking over Banner and imprisoning him. But then Banner rolls him out again to fight Thanos at the start of Infinity War, and from there he just refuses to come out for a battle anymore.
In Endgame, he apparently found a resolution that involved assimilating into Banner. [Reply]

Oh and don’t forget Robert Redford and Michael Douglas just casually stroll across the screen

Great stuff
Fucking ridiculous.
The talent agents or whomever must have seen the script calling for the to re-obtain virtually every person in MCU history and resisted the urge to leap off the nearest ledge. [Reply]

I know.
I'm sure i'll enjoy the future movies, but damn it we had a great run. [Reply]
