It may not be a "fuck you" per se but it makes the "COMICS ARE RUINED FOREVAAAAR" people look very silly as it clearly quoted one of their major beefs and made It the best line in the movie.

We'll see, we'll see. All I want is a good movie that feels like a good conclusion to the current stories and characters arc. If that's what we're getting, all is good.

If the major beef is what I suspect it is, and the Russo Brothers managed to handle that whole ruckus in a good way, I'll be particularly impressed. Doesn't cancel a certain stupid movie that came out right before Avengers Endgame, but it's hard to have a flawless track record for over a decade.

But hey, I won't judge ahead of time.

I have also seen the movie and yes there are some moments that might remind off some of the trends in comics that has been in comics for some years now or like planting the ideas for furture movies it depends on how you look at it.

However unlike the comics those actually feels earned and seems more natural compared to some of the stuff I have heard about in comics these last few years.

However it is a very good movie from beginning to end.

True to form, I'll be bringing up the rear and will get right on top of watching this in like June or so. I like the MCU but I just don't have it in me to fight theater crowds.

So, Avengers Endgame..... it's going to be rollercoaster ride for sure. There will be awesomeness with real hearth wrenching moments, which will be mixed with real funny parts at times. Of course the movie ain't the perfect as some parts of the movie are really bad. However those are way over shadowed with great parts.

Also, for everyone being worried about Captain Marvel's role, don't be. Yes, she got moments to shine (just like everyone) and few of them looks really bad at the beginning, but just know that there is nothing to worry about in the end. I actually liked one particular in the end as it was exactly what I hoped for.

Oh and there ain't any end credit scenes at all in any point. So, if you ain't emotional or shocked in the end or you don't want to pay respect by seeing end credits, you got no reason to stay after it's over.

Many cool moments, including a gigantic "fuck you" to whiny comic fan boys that made the whole room laugh out loud. Cap clearly got the best scenes and moments.


Well, now I'm really curious to hear what part you're talking about. As I can't really think of anything particular, though I also don't know what comic books fans might whining about. I kinda have purposely tried to stay away from all kind of Endgame related talk before I saw the movie.

Ah that. I can see how that could have been fan rage moment. But to me, that was one of the funniest moves in film and definitely something I didn't expect at all.

Okay, back from Endgame. As a long time comicbook fan, and supporter of the MCU, I'm gonna now write a waaaaall of text, and anyone curious can see me nerding out for 15 minutes before or after they saw the movie themselves. Long story short, is as good as movie like it was ever gonna be. The MCU has never been nor will ever be high-art, but it did deliver the goods for over a decade, so whatever comes next, hats off to those who carried it so far. THanks for the fun and the memories.

Noooow for the spoilerssesses...

I watched Endgame a few days ago, and I've had time to think on it.

I loved it, surprisingly.

I had a lot of issues with Infinity War, I mean to say that I did like it, but there were a lot of things many people were overlooking because they were coasting too quickly on the hype train and a lot of criticism the movie frankly deserved was left ignored by fans. My biggest gripe with Infinity War was that, despite the runtime, it felt too much like half of a story. Endgame may have been the second half, but it was still able to tell its own complete story from start to finish. There were fewer characters, so each one got more focus and we had a lot of the fat trimmed from the cast. Infinity War felt bloated and too ambitious for its own good, yet Endgame somehow managed to complete its own circle, and it's impressive that a movie this big with this much riding on it managed to finish and not fall apart in the end, under its own enormous weight. I actually feel that they managed to make the best movie possible with everything they had and the time they had to do it.

The big character moments were all there, and they felt natural and got the special care they deserved. The movie had a lot of comedy, as to be expected at this point, but I didn't feel like it drew attention from the real drama, which is a problem so many MCU movies have. The emotional scenes worked, and it's because we all have history with these characters at this point, and naturally they have meaning and attachment to us to some degree or another. Some more than others.

This really did feel like the big finish, like their Return of the King, and I feel it worked really well. Naturally, every actor and actress did a terrific job with their character, and it's actually difficult to pick out the highlights because everyone gave it their all. Everyone, not just the actors, but the writers, the staff, I think they did it. This is the best Phase 3 film since Guardians 2, in my opinion, and I can say I think it's among the best film in the MCU. It's actually more emotional than I thought, on my part, knowing that this is the end of an era. I really am going to miss what we had.

I loved it three-thousand.
