Endgame legit could’ve been a whole phase on it’s own

[@leovanilla6833]

Or like, make movies in between Infinity War and Endgame (yes I know Black Widow is sorta a prequel-sequel) building up the rematch with Thanos (Endgame). Do you know how much MORE that movie would have made? I LOVED IW but the time skipping in Endgame threw me off way more than it did in IW. We could've gotten a Hulk/Thor part 2 where Hulk becomes Savage and eventually into Professor Hulk, Captain Marvel could have a movie where she's actually likeable, Black Widow, introduce new heroes/villians/teams for post-endgame. There could have been such an impact but Disney said let's make Endgame now to capitalize on IW's success.

[@VaultOfTheFuture]

Shit. I loved infinity war and endgame but it was mostly the hype of all the mcu movies leading up. I think that would’ve been insane. A whole 3 years of films leading up to endgame.

That was pretty much the first thing I thought about when I knew The Guardians of the Galaxy were gonna be in Infinity War. With Peter back on his home planet, shouldn't he be making a mad dash for his home?

[@grimmnd]

I forgot about that possibility because the immediate area was decimated by Thanos shortly before he arrives. And that's why it probably it didn't hit him emotionally. The third GOTG has a lot of potential storylines to go with. It may start with with Peter Quill rediscovering Missouri.

@JOE knows right we could've seen how that effect the heroes moving forward I feel if the movies and Netflix shows were connected, we could've seen how daredevil, Jessica Jones (Jewel), Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Punisher. I also feel that the heroes who got dusted should've stayed and my 4 pick of heroes who should've stayed alive and not dusted is Spider-Man Winter Soldier Black panther Star-lord Spider-Man loses his friends and aunt may and realizes the grand scale of losing the battle, which would make him a better hero throughout the 5 years and learn the true meaning of great power comes great responsibility Bucky should've gotten the chance to look back at his mistakes and have a moment where him and Tony reconcile the incident that happened years ago with tonys parent. Also give Steve and bucky time to relook at the days they fought together and how they missed them days Black panther is a king and as a king he feels as if he failed to protect not only his kingdom but the planet. 5 years he mourns his mom and sister. Half of wakanda defenses are down but he should help the avengers come up with a way to better handle the infinity gauntlet with vibranium. Star lord of all feel like he made the worse mistake than thor because he messed up the plan on titan. He mourns gamora than anyone because he and gamora shares a moment and he hesitated to kill her when she asked him to do it. He feels that he failed to save her same way he feels he couldn't save his mom when he was young. This would be a way where star lord becomes a more efficient and serious leader like how he is in the comics. But that's just my opinion. Also hulk should've had the best scenes in the movie. Using the infinity gauntlet should've increased hulks power especially since he couldn't bring natasha back.

Ragnarok really beat us over the head with “HARDY HAR HAR LOOK HOW FUNNY WE ARE” and for me Endgame forced it a lot as well.

I feel like the Cap ending came out of nowhere, to the point it felt contrived and implausible. Not only was Peggy (as an active love interest, not a symbol of his past) reintroduced out of almost nowhere, we’ve spent Steve’s whole trilogy arc working to get over the life he lost and working to find his place in the time he is now. Then, there was so much importance placed on his friendship with Bucky, to the point where it feels a bit like character assassination to have Steve just up and abandon him - not just because of his loyalty to his lifelong best friend, because of the explicit promise that they’re with each other “til the end of the line.” The ending with Peggy was perfectly beautiful if you didn’t watch The Winter Soldier or Civil War (I know because I watched the movies all out of order)-that is to say, if you shove aside all of the growth and progress we see from Cap after he gets unfrozen. I just wish the end result didn’t feel like a flimsy & transparent effort to shelve Steve Rogers as Captain America. And if he had to go back (which I’m still not convinced he did), I wish he’d taken Bucky with him.

You're so right also they made the agent carter series non canon to make Steve coming back make sense carter had a love interest other than Steve she learned to move on just like Steve did but they removed all that because they can't get chris evans anymore tbh this is why i don't like live action universes even though i love the mcu if an actor don't have time is sick or just doesn't want to be in anymore you can't really swap them like in animation you can just swap the voice actor it wouldn't be that important but changing the way a whole character looks just can't work well is why they need to kill them off or remove them from the plot

I often tell people that Thor one was my favorite marvel film and they think I’m crazy and ask why. I tell them that for all the fast paced action in most marvel movies Thor was a slow coming of age story where a child learns to take responsibility for himself. Could not tell you about the fight scenes in Thor 1 because it is dominated by character both in the writing and the visuals. It’s why (I’m so sorry ahead of time) I talk endlessly about what I loved about The Last Jedi. Much less fighting. Slower pace. Gave the franchise some time to ask “what does all this mean?” Rey and Kylo Ren never fought physically in the film but are dueling the entire time with their competing ideas on how the world should be. There isn’t even really a final battle between Luke and Kylo which was a decision so monumentally genius I could go on for hours. There are tons of “action” movies out there where the most intense moments take place devoid of any physical confrontation. I don’t know if you guys have ever heard of a show called Billions before but it is essential a show about a New York DA and a powerful hedge fund manager with a vendetta for each other. The visual style and writing evokes so much of a feeling that these guys are Olympian gods hurling thunderbolts at each other with mere mortals being nothing more than collateral damage that when I actually watch films like Hercules or Clash of the Titans I wish it felt as grand and terrible as the petty legal and financial war of these two rich pricks. Fight scenes need some bite in them otherwise you are just watching action figures being thrown around a play set.

I cannot see what he did in Endgame that Banner (or anyone else, frankly) couldn't have done (the snap seemed like the directors shoehorning him back into the film).

To add to your comment on how the Endgame fight was nowhere near as "iconic" and "grand" as the battle of New York, I think it's mainly to do with the cinematography. In the first Avengers movie, the camera closely follows each character, making it feel like WE'RE a part of the scene. The battle in Endgame consists mostly of very distant shots in the attempt to fit as many characters on the screen. The result is a much larger disconnect; it feels drastically less personal when the camera's placed in a random point in the sky with 27 main characters all doing different things and fighting for attention. I'm a huge fan of that scene, but I wish they were more creative and expressive with the cinematography. (fyi, I have no film-making prowess; my opinion is completely worthless)

@@leonardobraynen1524 Logically speaking Infinity War is a better movie, and I can see why people vehemently believe in that. The character moments and action sequences are spaced out so well that keep you on the edge of your seat while constantly surprising and shocking you in every way possible. But think of it this way, there was so much freedom in the writing for Infinity War while Endgame was constricted to conclude 21 movies. There are probably over 14 million ways they could've fucked up Endgame. 14 million ways to wrap up our beloved characters' journeys and yet you know damn well they did their absolute best. And they nailed it. I could go on forever on why Endgame was a beautiful experience of a life time. But was I disappointed with a lack of closure or how some characters turned out? Yeah. But the movie is so massively jam packed and intricately interwoven together where if you pull out a piece of the puzzle, everything falls apart. You take Smart Hulk out(one that I absolutely hated) and you wouldn't get the portals scene. You get Captain Marvel to snap the gauntlet instead of Hulk so he could fight in the final battle and get his long anticipated beatdown revenge on Thanos but you'll have to deal with how she could've stopped Thanos in 5mins if she had returned to earth earlier than she did in the movie. The point is, both movies are a masterpiece in their own ways and I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

@@marcusduck dude, this was said very beautifully. You put alotta things in context and thats EXACTLY how i feel! Endgame was just awesome and cuz it was a zillion characters it all coulda gone sideways but it didn't and it brought closure to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers' arcs succinctly. I lost my mind when Cap called Mjolnir to him to save Thor and put a whupass on Thanos. But Infinity War was just beyond BEYOND, ya know? Cuz it really was Thanos' story and it showed his motivations and the fact that EVERYTHING he said he was going to do, he did. He won. And i've never been apart of a movie experience where the villain won COMPLETELY and to see how broken and demoralized the Avengers were after they lost? Priceless. So Marcus, as for me i've seen every single marvel movie since Blade 1; every Xmen movie; Fantastic Four with Chris Evans; virtually every Spider-Man movie into the MCU with Iron man1. So i was on this journey for 11yrs man and like Tony, its time to rest now.....

My major problem with Endgame is that nothing is learned and that there is no overall lesson. If you fail just time travel and redo it. That’s not what a superhero movie does. The Dark Knight trilogy said that no matter how hard things get, always pick yourself back up. I felt Endgame missed out on the more important symbolism behind superheroes because they are soooo much more than people in costumes beating up bad guys.

[@magnusprime962]

George Garcia-Meza I disagree with that. For one thing, the movie follows the multiverse theory of time travel, so any changes to the past don’t actually affect the reality the tume travelers come from. For another, the deaths from the Snap were undone, but the Snap and its impact is still there. The people who remained don’t just magically lose their trauma from losing their loved ones for five years, and the people who came back have to deal with a very different world. There are still consequences. Thanos still won the Infinity War, and the Avengers couldn’t change that.

[@theeorigin4651]

I think you kinda found endgames lesson - pick yourself back up. Otherwise what was the point of Tony returning form space, hours from complete oxygen starvation to start a family and build a time machine? What was the point of Thors trip to asgard and finding out that he can still wield Mjolnir, proving that he is worthy of the love and respect of his friends despite his failings?

[@macknight2352]

Endgame's lesson was that in order to create a new future, you might have to look to the past. This was shown within the characters arcs (Most characters are stuck in time, unable to create a new, fulfilling future. They all have to get advice from the past to create a new future) within the Narrative (They have to go back in time to get the stones to create new life for those that lost it) within the themes of the movie (Reconciliation and Reinvention) and even as a way to justify the fan service and a metaphor for the franchises end (The movie looks back to previous films to end those narratives and have the opportunities to start anew). That's why there was time travel in Endgame. Not to lazily end a series, but to celebrate the series, end it's characters, and create a satisfying conclusion to the series, which I think it did.

[@charlestaylorco8713]

Bea r That’s not necessarily true, yes Far From Home’s tone is more light-hearted but this is because you are seeing the Snap and the blip from a teenage perspective. However, you still see some of the effects of the snap/the blip (also it takes place some months after the blip so people have picked themselves up slightly more), for example you see all those misplaced and homeless with Aunt May working for the Salvation Army, buildings still being redone, the stories people tell about when they blipped back, all the Iron Man and Avengers memorials, and the desperateness of everyone willing to accept a new hero to protect them (Mysterio)

[@hkr0065]

You summed up why I resented how they treated Aunt May in 'Far From Home.' Again, like you pointed out in this video, these later MCU films have skipped over vital character development moments. Aunt May finding out that Peter is Spider-Man should be a huge deal. But we never see how she reacted outside of the brief "What the F" at the end of Homecoming. All of a sudden she's just the biggest Spidey supporter in Far From Home? Had they explored Aunt May's reaction, it could have possibly been the perfect time to finally introduce Uncle Ben to the MCU. Imagine Peter explaining why he became Spider-Man to his Aunt May. Imagine how powerful it'd be. It could have been one of the strongest scenes in Spider-Man film history. Instead, we're introduced to a May who all of a sudden just supports her nephew...and it doesn't feel earned. That's my fear of this new Spider-Man movie coming out. That they'll just blow over Peter's secret identity being revealed in favor of comecic scenes where Pete is worshiped by Flash Thompson (who would naturally be afraid of him). Nothing that the MCU has done with Spider-Man has shown me that they're eager to really tackle the nitty-gritty of Peter Parker's life. Him being dusted by Thanos doesn't give Marvel Studios a pass. They could have easily made him NOT be one of the characters get dusted, so that we could have more character building scenes.

[@cyroos4926]

David Cosloff prefer TASM, it completely abandons the defining trait of Spider-Man, the original trilogy is good but it is just Spider-Man and nobody else, you don’t get to see his interactions with other heroes. He already had his development, it was offscreen yes which is both good and bad, but he already had his Uncle Ben moment. And he isn’t iron- boy, if he was he would’ve beaten Vulture and Mysterio with Stark tech, but he didn’t. His new high-tech millions-of-dollars suits gets taken away and he defeats the Vulture with his “onesie”. When he fights Mysterio his suit isn’t that high-tech, it just likely has capacitors for voltage but that’s it, he defeats Mysterio with his own ingenuity and the powers that he already has.

[@cyroos4926]

David Cosloff his motivation is “When you can do the things that I can, but you don’t , and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you.” That is literally with great power with great responsibility. It is implied that something happened where he didn’t use his powers and something bad happened, kinda like how Peter didn’t stop the robber that ended up killing Uncle Ben. Most of his characterization from the comics isn’t shown, it’s implied. And who wouldn’t look up to Iron Man, he’s a super rich dude with a dope suit, and is a superhero. We the audience and a few character know how he really his, flaws and all, but most characters in the universe including Peter don’t rlly know the actual Tony Stark they just know Iron Man. And his morals are clear as day, probably second only to Captain America, he’s just a kid who wants to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. He could’ve shown up to the party as Spider-Man put in the good word for Parker and made himself popular. But he sees a far away explosion that is completely unrelated to him but he knows that means there’s most likely danger so he leaves his friend to in his mind save people. Later can be with the girl he wanted to be with since before the movie’s setting, she’s probably the most popular girl in his school and she’s his date, but he knows the Vulture so he ditches her to stop him, that’s classic Peter Parker. Second movie he just wants to be with his friends and the girl that he likes, he just wants to live his life as a high schooler, but there’s danger out there and even though he doesn’t want to do it, he does it anyways because it’s the right thing to do. He ditched his best friend, the girl he wanted to be with, his whole class, the new girl he wants to be with, because he knows that with the powers he has, if someone gets hurt or worse and he did nothing, it is his fault. Because with great power comes with great responsibility.

[@cyroos4926]

David Cosloff dude it’s like college recruiter from your dream school shows up at your house, you are most likely going to be stoked. It’s not out of character for Peter to look up to other heroes, in the comics very fist issue (or very close to the first issue it’s been a long time) he goes to the Fantastic Four because he looks up to them on how people with powers have done something positive with their lives. In civil war he’s on Iron Man’s side until he realizes how things are actually like then he joins Cap’s side.

[@haldosprime3896]

It still really bothers me how willing studios are to toss out character development for pacing of the plot. I get the importance of pacing, it's really important, but if your cast is so big and their individual stories are ongoing that you need to start chopping off entire storylines just to squeeze the main story in recognize it and plan more movies to cover the characters you're actively putting into the story. A lot of these studios are funding well enough to split up a story into multiple movies, Marvels gotta be on top of that pile at this point. The idea they couldn't afford a 3rd movie is not valid, they chose 2 movies, when they had enough character development to cover for at least 3. Rocket raccoon finding a new family, Quill returning to earth, Natasha and Gamora's death, Thor's self destruction from depression and Loki's death, Bruce Banner and Hulks resolution, EVERYTHING going on with Tony and Steve, and SO MUCH MORE. Just gone, toss it in the trash, apparently none of that is important. It sucks, man. I don't care if I like the character, I love seeing stories being told and I hate it when things are left unresolved or glossed over when it's very important to the character.

They could have primed him for a Heel Face Turn if he was shown that his Snap ended up causing the very nightmare he was trying to stop (which is another big problem I had with the movie, but I'll get to that in a sec), but instead, they flush that all down the toilet because Thor chose THEN to take his advice from the last movie. My other major problem with Endgame, one you didn't bring up, is that it does the utterly reprehensible sin of proving Thanos right. Yeah, you read that right. Basically, the fact that there is functional civilization AT ALL after half of humanity got dusted feels completely impossible to relate to. Five WEEKS later, let alone five years, the world should be a post-apocalyptic Mad Max hellhole, like the latter half of Final Fantasy VI, not like the real world but more depressing.
