Bruinsfan June 15, 2019 Share June 15, 2019 Yeah, I hold Tony far more responsible for the other stuff he pulled in Civil War than his reaction to the truth behind his parents' deaths. That at least was an understandable reaction in the moment to a horrible loss, rather than convincing himself he could pay for his mistakes by declaring friends who disagreed with his views on oversight criminals and traitors. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5375447
Perfect Xero June 15, 2019 Share June 15, 2019 11 hours ago, VCRTracking said: No, they just know Tony had seen video of his mother being strangled to death and the guy who did it was standing right in front of him. This topic has been debated since Civil War came out but the fact is even most viewers may not like what Tony did but they understand it. The reason they can forgive that and not Bruce Wayne being a total dick in Batman V Superman is that from the beginning, that unlike those characters Tony has always been portrayed as a deeply flawed character, whose morals were always out of whack. Captain America The Winter Soldier was great because it was based on an already great story-line in the comic written by Ed Brubaker and they only changed a few things. People "understand" it because they buy into the emotion of the scene. What Tony does is clearly wrong, it's attempted murder of a man that Tony KNOWS was acting under mind control at the time, but people buy into the emotion of the moment so they don't think about it or will even excuse it. If you're like me and don't buy into the emotion of that moment, then that scene is just horrible and basically ruins Tony as a character. With Cap in Endgame the writers, again, bank on the viewers buying into the emotion of the scene. Their expectation is that seeing Steve and Peggy dancing will cause such a strong positive emotional response that they won't think about anything else. It's the same basic formula they used in Winter Soldier (Endgame makes sure to hammer home the importance of Peggy to Steve throughout the film, in the same way that Civil War hammers home Tony's relationship with his parents), this time they just miscalculated their audience's response and investment in Steve and Peggy as a couple and a greater percentage of the audience didn't buy into the emotion and are really upset about it. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5375773

Zuleikha June 16, 2019 Share June 16, 2019 (edited) Changing the timeline would simply lead to a branch. It wouldn't erase anyone. Peggy's original husband and kids would still exist in the other timeline. There's also no reason he would have to leave the other version of him sleeping in the ice. Once he changed the timeline and moved into an alternate universe, he may as well rescue the other version of himself as well as Bucky. If he didn't do changes because he wanted to stay and create a time loop, that would mean he was always Peggy's husband. So again, no erasure. Not rescuing Bucky would be because he couldn't... original timeline's Bucky will always be the Winter Soldier. Captain America can't change that. All he can do is create another alternate universe timeline where Bucky gets rescued earlier.

It kind of felt like the movie wasted time at stuff I actually didn't really care about - like the taco scene, I mean, it was funny, but they could have just as well skipped it and cut immediately to Hulk and Co visiting Thor, there was no need to see Nebula and Rhodey arriving to understand what "getting the team together" means. Like, the best scene of the whole movie is maybe Tony and Nebula playing finger football. It is such a simple scene, but it means so much. Just the thought that this was most likely the first time in her life that Nebula actually won at anything, and that she was encouraged all the way to get there breaks my heart. I rather had more of that and less of pointless forthnight jokes which will be dated soon anyway. I was completely enthralled with all of Tony/Nebula. From the finger football, to the touching moments when she's caring for him. Made me like Nebula 100x more, and I already thought she was awesome. I could have done with some tighter editing on scenes that dragged on; The picture joke with Hulk & Scott was entirely too long and became increasingly less funny and just plain awkward. Less of that stuff, more quality moments like Tony & Nebula. And ya know, if one of those moments could've involved Steve & Bucky, that would have been just SWELL. 16 hours ago, Raja said: With Shuri and Hank Pym gone Bill Foster could have come along as an additional science bro to take on the quantum stuff with Tony Stark and Professor Hulk like the Ancient One did.

And then his run on Winter Soldier was great too, until he came to end it on a really sour note of 'if I can't play with my toys, I'm going to break them so no one else can'. But his reinvention and revival of Bucky is one of the best executed stories in a long time. Something Captain America: The Winter Soldier honoured, but the movies that came after didn't.

The evolution she's undergone, to the point that she's now pretty much an Avenger, has been fantastic. I wish we'd got more scenes of her with Tony, and with the other Avengers, after the opening.

It was inevitable that he would be prominently turned to dust, while all the focus was on Steve's reaction to it. My main gripe with the entire MCU is how they've used Bucky as a macguffin for Steve, more than as an actual character in his own right. As for Bucky not getting the shield, if they'd developed his character more then it would be clear why he wouldn't want it - in the comics, the guilt he felt over all the evil he'd done as the Winter Soldier was always with him, and he struggled to believe he could ever be worthy enough to be Steve's friend again, let alone to take up his mantle. It was only a letter Steve sent to Tony before he was "killed" asking for Bucky to be given the mantle of Captain America that convinced him to take it. And even then, he doubted himself so much that he relied heavily on the support of Natasha and Sam to grow into the role.

swanpride June 18, 2019 Share June 18, 2019 Not a fan of the Natasha/Bruce romance either. For starters, the last time we saw those characters Natasha was positively terrified of the Hulk. If you want to have those characters suddenly be interested in each other, you need to offer more than lines from Whedon's typical teenager romances. I could have therefore used even LESS of it in Endgame. I don't care if Bucky gets the shield or not. Frankly, for me it doesn't matter who gets the shield, because there is only one Steve Rogers. But you can't use Bucky as Steve personal angst-machine for four movie and then suddenly make the story all about Peggy.

Right, a movie 'has legs' generally from repeat viewing from passionate fans and also from word of mouth drawing in more casual fans over time. Some hardcore fans definitely have seen it multiple times, but in general word of mouth has been at best mixed, and it seems like there may have been far more hardcore fans that didn't go see it multiple time than was maybe expected.

JessePinkman June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 There are A LOT of factors apart from the story that have to do with why it's yet to beat Avatar (in half the time it took Avatar to hit it's record mind you it's only 45 million behind). I could list them all but I think if you hate the movie you just hate the movie and reason means little to ya. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5384766

I don't think its hate the movie, but hate the ideal that to really appreciated Endgame at its best you had to see 23 movies, and maybe the Agents of SHIELD TV to tie into Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron and Agent Carter for Jarvis and old man Steve stuff. Where as for Avatar nobody is talking about the Easter eggs of Pandora, with the sequel franchise still in planning stages but rather you have never seen visuals like these before you need to go see it on the big screen yourself which was Avatars legs Edited June 19, 2019 by Raja Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5384779

Casual fans saw it once and were satisfied. Other moviegoers waited to see it and once the "spoiler embargo" ended, may have decided "why bother?" Of the more hardcore fans, some percentage saw it multiple times but another significant percentage didn't. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/06/11/avengers-endgame-star-wars-avatar-jurassic-skywalker-jedi-black-panther-marvel-box-office/#72264d096049 https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/06/12/avengers-endgame-box-office-jurassic-star-wars-terminator-batman-avatar-titanic-lion-king-et-jaws/#7876823635d3 What difference does that make? Movies make money because they make money, the reasons behind it don't matter to the accountants. Avatar was a showcase for supposedly revolutionary technology (which ended up being something of a damp squib, to be honest) and relied on that hype to sustain it. Avengers relied on the hype of the climax of this phase of the MCU. And the fact that a lot more people needed to see it right away is somehow a criticism? 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5384806

Wynterwolf June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Some clarification of what the additional scenes are: Quote Not an extended cut, but there will be a version going into theaters with a bit of a marketing push with a few new things at the end of the movie. If you stay and watch the movie, after the credits, there’ll be a deleted scene, a little tribute, and a few surprises. Which will be next weekend. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5384850
swanpride June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Nobody is talking about Avatar, period. It was a fad and went away pretty quickly for such a supposed milestone. Anyway, the criticism that you need to watch other movies to fully appreciate Endgame is pretty limp. It's like complaining that a comedy is funny or a horror movie is scary. Endgame is supposed to be that way. One can like it or not, but that's hardly a mark of quality. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5384878

The movie made a billion dollars in 5 days! How are these negatives? It doesn't bother me just a theory. As to the legs, the Marvel nerd wants the record, and he "missed it by that much" as Maxwell Smart would say. New folks are not coming in which is the big difference with Avatar staying in the theatres and sites like this one gives you the Easter eggs so whoever wanted to see Howard the Duck in the forest of a grand battle, while trying to focus out the grand battle has done it. I doubt a new post credits scene will get the $50 for the record Only an announcement that a home video release will be delayed can actually get some Endgame booster shot watches to really push that number up.

I considered it for five seconds before I remembered that I already promised to take my nieces to Aladdin and Toy Story 4 and that I want to see Far From Home. They’d have to completely redo the ending to make seeing Endgame again worth the time and money.

Guest June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 (edited) Cinemark is already selling tickets for the re-release. Here’s their description. After the events of Infinity War, the universe is in ruins. The Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe. Includes 7 minutes of bonus content & Stan Lee tribute.

Some good ideas, but dodgy execution. You aren't missing much. There's currently no rerelease of Endgame scheduled for my part of the world. I couldn't go even if I wanted to. And frankly, it'll be out on DVD soon. So I'm not fussed. Also, it'd be nice if the number one movie was actually a really good one, but again I don't really care that much. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/88338-avengers-endgame-2019/page/33/#findComment-5387454
