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]

This film seems to imply that you can't change the past, but if you go into the past and mess with it you're basically constructing an alternate timeline for that universe (but you can return to YOUR universe with no changes to it). A convenient way to make the time heist storyline work but makes no sense when you simply say "go put them back". For example, you knocked out Star-Lord and stole that stone... so what do you go back to, the point where you knocked him out and just say, "Hey, here's the stone"? And how do you put back the Soul Stone? (Although that would be a convenient way to get Black Widow back in the current time... "Hey, Red Skull, here's your stone back, now give us back the 'payment' we made.") The other problem with this idea of time-travel is that you can do whatever you want with no punishment (i.e. Gamora). Oh, look, Stark died... no biggie, just go back to the day BEFORE the big battle, and take that Stark forward. So now you're God. No one has to die. Go back and get Black Widow, Thor's mom, Vision, whoever you want. Some big bad villian shows up? Just go back and get 100 Iron Men, who gives a fuck about those alternate universes you create, those are their problems.
Yep. I loved the movie, but it's got its fair share of logical flaws. It's part of why I don't think that time travel will be used for much in other films (or at least not with regularity). I think they'll just say "We don't have any more Pym Particles. Shucks." and leave it alone. It'd just be too messy if they used it all the time. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

Doctor Strange: ****ing asshole.
Shit I guess he could have just opened one of his portals and had the glove transferred to somewhere on the other side of the planet or some other dimension where Thanos couldn’t get it.
I’m pretty sure Thanos would have been killed by everyone if he didn’t have the glove. His army was getting destroyed and he was starting to get his ass kicked. Hell he almost got killed by Maximoff. [Reply]

You see?!? Maybe I'm not so crazy after all!!!
For real though, Scarlet Witch was about to rip him to shreds with her fucking mind or whatever you want to call the magic red glowy shit. [Reply]

I dunno why Dr. Strange couldn't just open and close a portal on Thanos and his ship and end everything in 5 seconds.
It's a comic book movie. Try not to overthink it. [Reply]

I can't. I try but I just see the tear stained faces of Tonys family. [Reply]

Being filthy rich and spending five years in a cabin fucking Gwyneth will mellow you out a bit. [Reply]
