Avengers Endgame SPOILER discussion thread

Saw it, enjoyed probably liked IW a bit more.
But no Stan Lee in memory of, probably saving it for far from home, but still.....

Stan Lee’s main tribute was in the intro of Captain Marvel.

Ah, haven't seen it yet. Still with what Endgame means to everyone I would of thought it would of meant more

WOW! What an awesome 3 hour epic!

1. The first section is a slow burn of course because scene setting needs to take place and the regrouping of the Avengers needs time after their massive defeat.

2. The second section with all it's time travelling is a nostalgia blast without looking like a cheapskate cop out. Most impressive are the quests for the space, mind and power stones. Most saddening is the soul stone quest.

3. The third section is an awesome battle at the end. Yes it would've helped if there were cameos from other characters (e.g. Daredevil, The Punisher and even Venom) but that's just a small gripe. I did shed a tear over Tony's death and heard two people sniffling in the cinema (Peter Quill, you've got Tony's blood on your hands you tantrum throwing brat).

In the lead up to this film, many fans were speculating that the time stone, Ant Man or both hold the key to undoing the damage. So it's a smart and astute move by Marvel to have Tony Stark (and an M.C. Escher work) outwiting fanspectations.
I'd like to end by saying that Infinity War is the better movie for those looking for a start to finish action fest.

And we all knew that time travel would have to be the solution because how else are you going to bring back characters that have sequels coming out (e.g. Spider-Man Far From Home etc.)?

They could have not had Thanos destroy the stones and therefore not needed any time travel?

Evidently not as we don’t see Black Widow return, though she does have a solo movie being greenlighted..

I'm waiting to hear that the Black Widow announcement was a red haring to throw people off the scent for this movie.

The soul given is payment for access to the soul stone so refunds aren't valid. When Black Widow died Gamora Prime doesn't come back, nor should she.

Gamora's soul wasn't in the soul stone yet. They went back to before Thanos claimed it. That said, I agree, no take baksies.

I thought the way they treated time travel was great. No multiverse! They went to lengths to explain that the way time travel is explained in most popular movies is not how it works here, which I think is smart.

Umm... this absolutely now has a multiverse. As explained by the sorceress supreme.


I didn't like the inconsistencies as to how messed up the world is. The population of Manhattan is 1.6mil. 800k living on that small island is still crowded. Not sure the whole thing falls apart with boats just parked in the harbour and garbage not collected.... yet we still have the cable guy and people playing Fortnight?

I liked the movie. It wasn't a great movie, but it was a great ending.

I saws it! Write thoughts later. Recommend seeing it at the movie. It only works with the other 22 films before it.

I've been walking around school today telling students, "I love you 3000." Those who've seen the film get it while the others are just perplexed. One kid got teary.

Another student told me about some whacky idea for an Easter Egg - the fact that Dr Pym's machine in the van was activated by a rodent is meant to symbolise how Disney "saved" Marvel (rodent = Mickey Mouse). I don't quite buy this but it did make me laugh.

And one reason why I'm super glad that I watched this film during the school holidays - because kids don't know how to shut the hell up when it comes to spoilers! I told them NOT to discuss spoilers because there are still other students who haven't seen the film yet, but do you think that stopped them? Nope!

Glad I saw the movie at an 8:45am session. Later that day I was onboard a crowded tram and a bunch of teens are speaking openly about the movie and, "Let there be spoilers" was their attitude.

When Captain America at the end is returning the stones, is sent back in time. He is carrying Thor’s hammer? I wonder what happened with that. Looks like they are setting up a young avengers team, what with all the kids. Cassie, Kate, Morgan, and the boy iron man befriended in iron man 3 who was apparently at the funeral in end scenes.

Yeah this was what I thought too. If you’re not into the MCU enough to have a good grip on what happened over the last 22 movies, Endgame would be absolute trash.


As it was, while I enjoyed it immensely, it was not as good as Infintiy War. And that I primarily put down to Thanos not getting any further character development. Infinity War was great because we learned about Thanos. We learned his past, his motivations and goals. But I thought that Endgame in no way expanded upon that. It just coasted along and didn’t progress his character in any way apart from an. Few throw away lines at the end that made him essentially just another bad guy.

I liked the Thanos that I could empathise with.

I wonder if its better to watch Infinity War and End Game in one single viewing.
