Massive Marvel Movie Mania: Avengers Endgame

[chaosvizier]

So, a while back I talked about Avengers: Infinity War, and how it was the culmination of a decade of Marvel movies that led up to the ultimate cliffhanger. So, how does said cliffhanger get resolved?

Let's find out!

CUE SPOILERS UNDER CUT, SO, YOU KNOW, FOREWARNED.

MORE SPOILS: DRAMA

[chaosvizier]

These are the non-funny scenes that really spoke to me.

1. Iron Man and Captain America meet up. Iron Man does not hold back in stating his opinion of Captain America. It's about as harsh as possible.

2. Hawkeye loses his family. He is just not ready for that.

3. Hulk: "We have a chance. We've got a way to stop Thanos."
Thor: "DON'T... SAY... THAT... NAME."

4. Rocket: "Come here. Closer. Right here." *slaps Thor* "Get a hold of yourself! You need to focus. I know that's your mom. She's dead. She's really really dead. But there are a whole lot of people who are only kinda dead. So is it too much to ask that you pull yourself together and help me finish this so we can save those people?"

5. Hawkeye: "I'm beginning to think we mean two different people."
Black Widow: "All these years I've been gearing up for this moment. This chance."
(they fight) (they hang over the precipice)
Black Widow: "Let me go."
Hawkeye: "No!"
Black Widow: "It's ok." (kicks out, breaks his grip, plummets to death)
Hawkeye: "NO!"
(I knew this scene was going to happen, but I genuinely could not tell which one would die.)

6. Ant Man: "Guys? I think it worked!"
(everything immediately explodes)

7. Just to repeat, Captain America summoning Mjolnir is literally the high point of this film. We saw it in Age of Ultron, but this moment was perfectly sculpted and worthy.

8. Star Lord at the end searching for Gamora raises an interesting question. What exactly happened when Iron Man used the gauntlet? Did he wipe out Thanos and all of his minions and equipment? If so, does that include Gamora? He would have had no way of knowing that she switched sides during battle. And we don't see her again after that moment. So... did she vanish? And if not, then where did she go?

9. Iron Man meeting his father while Captain America watches Peggy Carter. Simple, but touching.

10. Captain America: "Hail Hydra."

I did enjoy the movie but man, I HATE the time travel stuff because it really does mess up everything. What did Thor use during Dark World and part of Ragnorak if Future!Thor nicked his hammer?? I've seen explanations for how Steve could live a life without screwing up the main timeline but there's enough holes to drive a truck through. And lastly, they killed off the wrong one out of Natasha and Clint. Damn their eyes!

I do hate time travel in general, but I was willing to forgive this movie for that. It takes a lot of effort to make time travel even remotely plausible on screen, but hell, you're in a comic book movie where the snap of a fingers wipes out half the population of everywhere. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. :D

(Maybe Odin was right and Thor really is the God of Hammers. Now that would be comedy gold...)

And yeah, I wanted Hawkeye to make the plunge. I didn't know who was going to do it, but I wanted him to go.

I did say that if that was the excuse Marvel use not to do a Black Widow movie, I was going to burn down Kevin Feige's office :) But I'm told the current rumour is the potential movie was always going to be a prequel to the Avengers so it might still happen.

I also now want a Scarlet Witch movie. Hoo boy howdy!

Yes, I heard about the Black Widow movie, I've been hoping for it for a while. Could be good. Could be two hours of her and Hawkeye being in situations and saying "Man, this reminds me of Budapest" and "Was Budapest really this bad?" but them never actually going to Budapest. I would pay extra for that.

Scarlet Witch and Valkyrie should just team up and go to town on folks.
