alright damn finally been waiting on this thread since Wed
Some thoughts unfiltered thoughts from only one viewing thats now been 2 days :
First off the tone for this thing was way more lighter than I expected coming off Infinity War, like his was Marvel being way more goofy than I thought/I think in that respects Infinity War was better?
Killing Stoneless Thanos at the start was a surprise but yeah the time travel thing is convenient but then again this a comic book movie, anything is possible. For some reason fighting a Thanos from the past unaware of his power seemed less impactful
Everyone being snapped back but the world moving 5 years ahead.....surely thats gonna be weird for people. Especially for like Peter Parker. Half the people in that school gotta be clowning the other half
Well shyt they not even in school now I guess
. Seriously theres some
consequences for the earth's teenage population with that shyt right?
Banner basically making Grey Hulk without being Grey was interesting. So he couldnt get him to show up in Infinity War but now this He's just stuck as Banner in Hulk's body ?
Thor looking
this whole movie on some lebowski shyt was weird. Also is it just me or does his life after Infinity War seem like Aquaman from Justice League? Yeah I dont know they made Thor a little bit too goofy in this even more than Ragnarok.
Nobody fell off harder from one movie to another than he did. How you go from being the Ruler of Aasgard and BRING ME THANOS!
in Infinity war to being flabby as fukk literally to jockeying with Pete Quill for leadership of the Guardians?
My man going out sad, I'd rather he died a noble death
The Natasha death was kinda surprising
a little bit out of left field too and they made a point that she aint coming back cause she sacrificed herself (Although I mean they could pull a Gamora and bring her back from the past) ....so I guess when they said her Black Widow movie was coming and they said standalone movie , they really mean it. Guess its gonna be a prequel and one and done?
Hawkeye finally got his due as Ronin, probably the best showcase of the movie
Tony and Pepper having a kid...I mean I get its 5 years later but like, I feel they doing that to tug at the heartstrings for later
I guess with Cassie growing up (which seem way more than 5 years btw
) they rushing to have her character show up in future movies
I didnt cry when Tony died at the end, I kinda thought both him and Steve werent gonna make it. Makes sense he did the sacrifice since this thing started. Actually now that I think about it, I didnt feel sad at first but I am gonna miss RDJ not being in Marvel going forward but its only right her passed to torch to Peter as the face of the MCU in some ways.
Actually now Im sad thinking about it
The whole time travel thing going back to essentially previous movies in the franchise to get the stones back....I dont know how I feel about that, its nice but also feels like a way to try and get as many people in cameos from the past. So that in respect good job, they got everyone they contractually could?
Also someone had a theory that if Loki from the past escaped the Stark Building after the battle of New York with the septer, is Loki from the present really dead? I guess this explains his Disney plus show, he probably travels dimension to dimension
Cap
Im glad he got that ending man...Man went to the past and stayed and lived out as an old man and got the last dance with Peggy. It was cool to see old Cap in the present give Sam the shield that had me
One thing though: You trying to tell me Cap went back to the past (or some point like the 70s) and just let history take its course?
He never changed anything
Also if he stays there....doesnt that have a domino effect on everything else. Like with the Avengers, Winter Solider, Civil War etc?
How does this shyt work
But yo the one scene that got emotional and gave me goosebumps was the final battle.....Cap is down and all of Thanos army is there and you thinking he bout to die and then all of sudden.....everyone who was snapped returns plus the people alive, and all the Marvel heroes (well again ones they could contractually get
) showing up had me
I see some people sayin the Wakanda battle in Infinity War like breh from Whatculture was better but I dont know man even if we didnt see everything just that moment of everyone assembling from all the movies was
Also Captain Marvel only being in it at the beginning and the end to kinda save a little was interesting. I dont know if people will like it that she wasnt in or hate that she kinda came through at the last minute
Y'all peep that ladies of Marvel charge in the battle too huh
Also another thing....Thor's Hammer choosing Cap
Yo believe me when I tell you Thor really going out sad. Man is alive and probably wont even be in Thor 4, Tessa got that now
I liked the no post credits thing except the sound of Tony building the first suit from the first Iron Man.
Everything for Marvel at this point is different. Yeah new characters need sequels and with X-Men and FF coming in they'll have more stuff but you notice they still havent named what are the 3 Marvel movies coming out in 2020 and its almost May 2019
These movies might not come out and they'll probably take their time and figure out the new era so theres no need for post credits to set anything up
If anything the disney plus shows are where its going. And to be honest by next year with Shield ending and all of the Marvel shows (except Runaways and Cloak and Dagger which barely have any connection to any Marvel live action universe)
After Spidey the whole Marvel live action universe gonna be like a new chapter. Not a reboot or reset, the continuity going but i wouldnt be surprised if things are different
one thing I thought was cool in the credits, yes they saved the original Avengers names for the last with the signatures but I also thought it was cool how the non Avengers Marvel characters got first credit and that had me thinking they might be the new team going forward (Strange, T'Challa, Peter, Valkyrie, Carol)
