Avengers: Endgame - A flawed but satisfying end of an era

@@zahhari3170 I think you are way off: the merging of hulk and banner saves everyone: power and intellect to use the stones. But it clearly lost Hulk's real primal power. He says he accepted hulk but he didn't, he just became half-hulk. I bet at some point, in some last movie, he will go back to two separate entities, but really symbiotic. True hulk and true banner working together. But this hulk could not heal and smash. Yeah, he still can fight, but he had already done his part.

[@Manweor]

@@kevinfry1850 If you are disappointed because of something that is outside the movies IMHO there is something wrong. Banner suppressed Hulk even more than usual and he pays for it, that is the whole point. THAT is character evolution. And remember that Ruffalo is still on board, so I expect the old Hulk to re-emerge stronger and more primal than ever. In this movie Banner was the important character. And yes, maybe one more fighting scene at the end would have been best. But it is totally unnecessary for the character and the plot. Maybe we'll get him in the extended cut.

Yup, she basically did nothing except take down Thanos' ship and then get bitch-slapped into oblivion by Thanos with the power stone, both of which could and should have been done by different characters. She's in so little of the movie, but is still somehow the worst part of it. I don't like the time travel logic they use, but I still hate Captain Marvel more. They tried to ram her down our throats so damn much leading up to Endgame...

[@ArsxnIV]

In the conclusion, I would have loved for Thanos to get a hold of the space stone. Then, instead of going straight for the gauntlet, Captain Marvel charges at him, ready to fly straight through his body. Then, with a wave of his hand, Thanos opens a portal right in front of him. Captain Marvel flies through accidentally and she's teleported to a galaxy on the other side of the universe. This way, she’d have about 2 minutes of screen time.

You know, when you think about it, Endgame is probably an objectively bad movie.

But the movie is still satisfying as heck and I really enjoyed it myself.

[@madelaki]

​@@isaiahlee2902 It's absolutely a 3/10, maybe 4/10 movie. Too much pandering, mediocre comedy, that cringey scene with the women, bad CGI (the helmets in particular were just atrocious), the cheapness of the time travel solution... it felt like a very uninspired movie to me. You could tell it was made only because they had to make it. Were it not for the fact that the characters were set up in much better movies (most of them anyway), Endgame may as well have been another Battleship or Battle: Los Angeles.

[@shaunhumphreys6714]

infinity war was perfectly structured, perfectly timed, the ultimate ending twist.. endgame was the most emotionally powerful of the series so more emotionally effecting. so while infinity war was structurally better and of course amazing, i put endgame slightly higher in my estimates, and endgame has had a far greater impact on moviegoers too which proves it. but they are both amazing movies so it doesnt matter. two amazing mcu movies in a row. trouble is they are so amazing that marvel will never be able to reach those heights again. especially not with the new unlikable and unpopular characters they are putting in the next phase. and their own endgame will be like ten years from now. i still think no one will give a fuck about them after that time. .

@harrythebarry I am sorry, but liking a movie you may not, isn't "shilling". Not to mention infinity war was an excellent movie, one of, if not the best MCU films ever made. Not perfect mind you, but the good far outweighed the bad. Which unfortunately Marvel didn't manage to top or even match with Endgame. Endgame is riddled with plot holes, inconsistencies and plot contrivances, it had some good moments but overall it's average at best, unfortunately. if you watched Mauler's stream you would know that he feels this way over Endgame too, so how is he shilling if states the faults of another movie in the MCU ?

[@XBullitt16X]

@harrythebarry ooof that's a really bad take you got there mate. lemme guess you're one of those people that says Star Wars is for kids. Nevertheless if a movie is written well enough and is enjoyable enough, regardless of age almost anyone should be able to enjoy it. Not to mention, the reason I brought up Endgame was worse that infinity war wasn't to justify anything, just to prove the point that MauLer isn't a shill. He criticizes movies as he sees fit, not because someone is paying him to espouse a certain opinion or that he is a diehard fan of the MCU and think every MCU movie is perfect. He has movies he likes and movies he doesn't, it's as simple as that. Again, I will reiterate, liking a movie you do not doesn't make that person a shill.

[@metalliclark86]

Infinity War is ten times better than Endgame, but the former its still a plothole ridden mess. Mauler overlooked all that, and called it ''And Unbraidled PRAISE''. I lost a bit of respect for him.

[@briansinger5258]

RamsesTheStone 20 years ago, Ellen Ripley duct taped a machine gun and flame thrower together (twice), do go destroy the horde of aliens and single handedly fought the queen in a Mech suit. It fits this conflict because it’s ultimately about individual successes rather than the collective success. Heroes lead the collective to success but the stories are about that individual doing better than the rest. There have been and always will be the Sarah Connors and Ellen Ripleys, female heroes - and incidentally, T2 manages to squeeze in some discourse on the importance of femininity as a strength, which is what’s missing in female characters these days... But the scene in question was more about female empowerment rather than tie empowerment _of_ females. It’s ideological, and so, an affront to the viewer, that wants to see team work that’s a little less cringe.

In terms of superhero movies, I can understand little girls needing more aspiring female models, but don't be Ghostbusters(2016), don't force it on the movie, much less on the public, because instead of contributing to the whole "female empowerment", you're just reinforcing the idea that women need blatant appeal to be represented, as if they weren't capable of doing the same as others so they have to take time of everyone just for themselves.

Fat Thor has everything to do with how he dealt with failure and grief (or really, didn't deal with it, because he's constantly drunk and they don't talk about it).

The movie had great moments - the poignant moments were the best - but felt a bit of a mess overall. They absolutely raced through a huge amount of story in the opening segment, pre-time travel, and it just felt like half the movie up to that point had been left on the cutting room floor. And they totally did the dirty on Thor, not happy with that at all. I watched a lot of the press & interviews building up to this, and had the impression Hemsworth wasn't happy. Now I see why. Apart from Brie Larsen being a total non-event (she's still rubbish even in the 5 minutes she's in the movie), every worry that people had about Endgame leading into full on SJW Marvel came to pass. I'll be finding other things to spend my time and money on from now on.

[@JackChurchill101]

From what I've seen, Chris Hemsworth pushed for this (can't say for sure), but he keeps saying in interviews how happy he is now that he gets more say over the character. I didn't like it - I was hoping for more Infinity War Thor, all pissed off and powerful, but they nerfed him entirely. He could have just been angry and reclusive, they didn't need to make him a washed out slob and drunk.

[@buczmaster]

Just watched it and I totally agree . I was confused as well when I left the cinema. I hate that they made clown from Thor which is my favourite character since Ragnarok. He looked and act like Volstagg from Thor comics, which is shame and misuse of the character. They also made Thanos like "typical MCU villain" kind of way, which is simple evil guy with no good reason or motivation for doing evil. Feminist moment also ruined tension of final battle for me, it was such a cringe moment that made me just mad. I don't understand why they went with the timetravel, it didn't work in any movie.

[@DravicPL]

What the fuck are you on about. No good reason or motivation? He saw the future unfold before his very eyes: in another timeline he succeeded in his pilgrimage and the Avengers are ruthlessly trying to undo what he believes to be his destiny. I'd be pissed, too.

Thanos motivation was on point. & despite it being an obvious feminist moment I did enjoy the all female moment. Those bitches have all proven their badassery. It was well deserved. Just sucked Black Widow wasnt there for it.

@@DravicPL what I meant with motivation is that he was always about preserving life, but here he just want to destroy it all and start the new one. Eliminating Avengers would be easier and faster way to keep his balance since only they had resources and ability to undo the snap. I don't buy that crap with "there will be always some people that remember how it used to be, thus you need to kill all and start from scratch". It was bad motivation in my opionion and made him like most MCU villains. I think that instead of capitain Marvel they should make Thanos origin story, that would expand his character even more.

I personally really dislike Captain Marvel in it. Stark's death was only nessessary cause she got overconfident and arrogant and let Thanos blindside her. This isnt a problem in itself, but the issue is that she feels nothing for being responsible for the death of a father. Thor went through tremendous guilt for letting Thanos win, and at least his excuse for playing with Thanos is more reasonable. He becomes a slob because Thor is a better man since Ragnarok. Before, he would react to his constant failures with childish rage or reflection. He's more mature now, but that also means he takes all the failure on his shoulders. But none of that with Captain Marvel ofc. If she felt bad for letting Tony die because of her arrogance, it might have finally given her something resembling a human, sympathetic flaw and sparked inner conflict. But nah she don't really care. Bitch.

[@frostwolf8190]

my only problem with endgame is the ending with captain america staying in the past. it totally contradicts the rules about time travel they themselves established in the very same movie, like what? I thought timelines in the past didnt affect their own timeline, so how did old captain america get to the bench without time travel? that said it was still a satisfying end.

[@JakkFrost1]

One problem with the time travel was that it actually lowered the stakes, and thus lowered the tension. Like you said, it's supposed to be a race against time, but once they were in the past, they had all the time in the world. Not literally of course, but they weren't racing against Thanos, they were only racing against the time when they knew exactly where the stones were, and really the reality and mind stones were the only ones with a severely limited time frame within which they knew their locations. The rest of the stones were in their relative positions for years, centuries at least, for two of them. Even after they'd gotten the stones, though, they had lots of time. They could have stopped for a bite to eat, taken in a movie or three, played chess, gotten a good night's sleep, anything. They could have waited a few _years_ before triggering the time machine to bring them back. There was no rush to get back once they had the stones in their possession.

I was okay with depressed Thor because he didn't use magic to give himself six pack abs. Even though he was filled with anxiety and depression, he got the axe, fought alongside his allies, even with a beer gut. Anyone can be a hero, even those who have let themselves go.

Defeat can do that to a person.

THIS. This is someone who understood Thor. He was just a guy that had the deity of a god thrust upon him since birth, never did he stop to think of a different life for himself, it wasn't until he really lost everything that meant to him and he finally got his revenge, he realized that he had nothing else to live up to. He tried to keep his selfrighteous pride by acting like he was the one who won, when in fact he lost a long time ago, and deep down he knows that but won't admit it after all he's been through.

I think the one thing you left out on both the positives and negatives was Bruce banner/hulk. I thought the movie suffered extensively from the complete absence of a fighting hulk in the middle of the madness. It would have brought so many fun moments and high points to a battle that was spectacular, yet felt like something was missing. I despised the weaker hulk who didn't want to fight and actively avoided confrontation. The two moment s where we got to see original hulk during the time jump we're too great moments and just showed how much the movie missed having him in it. It's interesting how the film nerfed it's two most powerful characters only to bring back Captain marvel in time to single-handedly destroy a ship and fight Thanos to a standoff.

The biggest bone I have to pick with this film is Black Widows 'sacrifice'. To obtain the Soul Stone 'you must lose that which you love', yet neither Hawkeye or Black Widow actually does this, instead choosing to fight over sacrificing themselves for the other, thus negating the premise of the exchange. If they'd have had Hawkeye realise that his only option was to let go of Black Widow when they were dangling off the cliff instead of Black Widow breaking his grip and plunging to her own suicide it would have made more sense. But instead Hawkeye ends up with the Soul Stone without actually making the sacrifice that was required.

tl:dw: Infinity war had a better plot, Thanos done properly, no plotholes with all the timeheist and way 2 long, could have easily been able to cut 30 min

[@jpm5772]

I grew up watching marvel movies (particularly the first 2 iron man movies) and even though it's not perfect endgame holds a special place in my heart and is easily my favorite movie of all time

[@KaosII1968]

Well now we see that turning Thor into a fat drunk was a vehicle for bringing in lady Thor. Uhgg.

[@yvonneg870]

This movie sounds so unsatisfying. I expected Cap to go out with a bang. Edit: I was wrong, liked the way things played out. Sucks this may be the last time Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

Yvonne G but now they have Cap ready for retro Shield ops in the past with Peggy, so many ways they can go with this

[@Noplayster13]

Yvonne G No, he went out with a full lifetime of happiness. Much better in my opinion.

[@stealthman010]

If you have no good and creative ideas left for your stories, you go with time travel or parallel universes. Well guess what endgame is about. Also, doesn't thanos know about reproduction? he needs to snap his shit every 100 years or so to keep people on track. So why destroy the stones? Also also, he kills 50% of all living creatures without discrimination. Just think about how much animals and insects live on earth alone ( also do bacteria count?). They are so much more than humans, barely any human would die. So how is it that hawkeye lost both his sons, his daughter and his wife? very unlikely.

[@jasonbrown4526]

I was wondering that as well. If Thanos has spent so much time obsessing about overpopulation, wouldn't he realize that he'd eventually have to snap his fingers a second time, and then a third time, and again?

[@nerychristian]

True. And a better plan would have been for Thanos to snap his fingers, and just make all the criminals disappear.

[@Crashed131963]

I was confused when Scarlet Witch almost looked like she was overpowering Thanos on her own. Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel could have easily did it on their own.

[@dalevintage]

I've always loved Widow and Hawkeye's connection/reltionship. They nailed it for us beautifully in The Avengers. I liked how they didn't go romantic...they went the committed and caring best friends direction. Absolutely loved it. ❤️🎬👍

[@Tortuga2323]

Your Thanos insight was excellent! That's exactly how I felt about him

[@RanMouri82]

Endgame left me feeling emotionally stuffed, like I ate too much at Thanksgiving and needed to sleep it off. Though the film worked hard to balance drama with levity and to tie up as many loose ends as possible while delivering a satisfying ending, I really felt those three hours.

Iron Pots. That's what you call Pepper in the suit. Yeah, I went there.

[@stevenapier5]

I agree about the story and the cheap time travel tactic. I didn't like it because of this point. Saying a turd sandwich is roast beef doesn't make it true, same for timelines. Hulk and Thor sucked.

[@JuanFatche]

Just one complaint; The Dude isn't the Big Lebowski, the old guy in the wheelchair is the Big Lebowski.

Reminds me of people that point at Samus and say "Hey look it's Metroid!"

Or people that see Link and think he's Zelda.

@@auto-- The main character of Link's Awakening is named Zelda for sure. You wake the Wind Fish within the game, which is why the Wind Fish's name is Link.

i think that the movies first half is good for die hard fans who watched all the movies and the part where they grab the infinity stones has a good sense of humor the soul stone one was epic and tony and is dads scene was also much needed and after that its just an action packed adrenaline rush that doesn't let you get off the edge of your seat and tony's death was really well done

[@leocmen]

It is a Lazy soul-less script Too much Deja Vu, plot holes, regurgitation of previous movies, Deus Ex Machina, waste of characters, no originality. and the worst: no coherence, no verisimilitude. A few nice ideas, but terrible mistakes. Unbelievable how people don't see how weak it is. I was expecting some thing more intelligent from the Russo brothers...

[@hazimazman9617]

I guess u dont care about the mcu lol

[@leocmen]

@@hazimazman9617 well, they made good movies that led me to believe they would rise the bar: Cap movies are good, GotG movies are good, Infinity War is good. In all of them, we have artisitic liberties coexisting under certain coherence. Not in this one.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Spot on about the time travel cheat, that does suck, but apparently no one was smart enough to figure out a real way to resolve bringing back those who must be brought back. As for the rest, the good was really good. The only other fuss I have is that the first hour (OF THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!) was so slow for a Marvel movie, but it was not slow for a normal movie, you are not bored at all, just not pumped like the rest of the film and near the entire predecessor. It was 9.5 out of 10 for me, where Infinity War now lives with Walt Disney's Snow White and Dumbo and Lucas's Empire Strikes Back as a perfect film.

[@13Noodles808]

Haha decided to look back and watched this review for the first time now. So much has changed since then. But a well put together honest review. Hats off drinker.

[@jamescarr1265]

it was a great finale
