Since people keep bringing up IM1...
I remember being one of only like five people sitting through the credits to see Nick Fury at the end, and how it felt like I was in on something special that nobody else understood yet. Now, pretty much everybody stays until the end, especially the opening weekend crowds.

"Marvel and Feige was able to make this in a few years...! With a box of B and C-tier characters!"
Really cool deleted scene from Avengers. Can’t believe I’ve never seen this.
I legit have no idea what to expect with this movie lmao
Okoye is deadass in this movie for real.

OH THAT'S why she's shown at the end! Jesus, I wondered why she got featured, when she'd never been in the movie before.
I’d read stuff about her being set up to be a love interest, with a description of Stan Lee’s cameo, but never actually seen the footage.
I love anytime we get to see Steve the artist too.
I hadn't hear, she just shows up, gets a slo-mo reaction shot to Cap for what appears to be no reason, and gets a quote on tv at the end. And it's just like "who the heck is she?" I'm glad I saw this, as it gives context. I kind of wish they'd kept it in, but since she doesn't appear anywhere else, maybe it's better this way. (also, I like Sharon Carter better.)
Yeah, that part was neat too. I didn't even know he was an artist in the MCU, unless i missed it the first avenger.
Whedon loves having a nobody have a sub-sub-plot in his movies but they always get deleted. Avengers had the waitress, Age of Ultron had that mom, which all were cut, but he finally got one in there for Justice League.
Which mom? With the kid who runs off and gets Quicksilver killed?
All those people complaining about having to go and pee during the movie; as if they weren’t going to see it more than once anyway.
I drink a lot during any movie and pee more frequently than most, so I’m the guy that always misses something, but honestly, it’s never that big of a deal. Movies that I really care about not missing anything, I see them again, regardless of whether I miss something the first time or not.

Tbf, you're forgetting about those with kids, 3 hours is a long time
Yeah, that one. She had a deleted scene, too.
They should sell Endgame themed diapers at the counter.
Ah, I see. At least she had a small part in the movie, so she was actually foreshadowed
"Hey Feige, you gonna offer free diapers with a ticket to endgame?"
"Depends."
I remember instantly thinking that she probably had a deleted scene or something because in the movie there's this weird zoom into her where her face takes up the whole frame. It was such a "remember this character?" shot. lol
[edit]
I don’t have a hard time holding it in at all, but suddenly needing to pee and having to focus on it can really detract from my experience. If I know I’m really not gonna wanna miss anything, I cut myself off liquids a few hours before showtime and visit the restroom before I walk to my seat, which always gets me through. I stopped at noon for Infinity War last year lol and I’ll do the same for EG.
I may have to buy a larger size popcorn for this, usually I'm 75% of the way done the bag by the time the trailers end lol
I always go about 6 hours straight without peeing at work, so I've no issue holding it off for 3 hours. I also make sure to not drink a lot of water, pee right as I get to the theater and then pee again while the trailers are showing. It's been a long time since I had to hold it while watching a movie at the theater.

She's not a nobody, that's Chrissy from Growing Pains!
I just dated myself, big time.
She's even Lego Avengers, same actress which Ashley Johnson is a notable VA so it fits
It blew my mind to find out that the scientist is the kid from A Christmas Story.
The only part 2 of any MCU movie that's universally seen as better than part 1 is Captain America. Ironman 2, Thor 2, GoTG2, Ant Man 2, Avengers 2 are all generally thought to be worse than their predecessor. Should we expect stinkers for Black Panther 2 and Captain Marvel 2?
To be a little fair to IM2 and GOTG2, the first movie in their series is really good. The first avenger was seen as a bit of a dud. Winter Soldier is one of the best movies in the MCU. I think CM is a bit like The First Avenger, and we'll probably get a great follow up.
Agree with all of that expect for Ant Man & Wasp. Thought it was a lot more fun, had much better pacing, and kinda liked that it wasn't another end of the world flick.
agreed, really don't understand how that film gets so much backlash.
I think people had high expectations for Guardians 2, and when the movie didn't reach those (possibly unrealistic) expectations, people judged it a bit too harshly. I don't think it's as good as the original, but it certainly doesn't deserve to be in the same breath as Thor 2, or even Iron Man 2, which I like.
People were expecting more Infinity Stones stuff and got a family drama.
The only MCU sequel I liked less than the previous one is Iron Man 2. Thor 2 had a better performance from Portman and felt much less awkward. Avengers 2 wasn't great but I think the first Avengers is one of the weakest MCU movies. Ant Man 1 was by far my least favorite but the sequel was actually really fun.
I'd always liked the idea of these scenes, but now that I see it in full, I think Whedon made the right call. Fury's "It's won by soldiers" line cutting to Steve hammering the bag in the gym I think makes for a more impactful introduction for Cap in this movie than having Steve mope around a bit for a couple minutes. It's a nice little character moment in its own right but gets in the way of the flow, imo.
I agree. I like the scene too, it shows how alone Cap is in today's world, but the cut in the movie is really well placed.
It’s always funny to me how long Avengers takes to get going. It feels really, really deliberately paced. It knows that, despite most having watched the four component films, that wasn’t a given and they had to carefully introduce each member anyway.
I wish Ultron did that too. The assembling phase is really exciting to me.
She was also in that building where the Chitari were going to throw a gernade into the crowd but Cap throws it out the window instead or something.
That scene was pretty nice. Feels like it might have fit better in a Cap solo movie.
Yeah, I remembered that bit too. It also makes more sense having seen the deleted scene.
The jokes in the original mostly landed, in 2 they mostly missed.
Other way around, I'd say. The delivery was often off in the first one, in the second one most of them worked.
I give the edge to Guardians 2 because of how well all the emotional scenes land. That last scene is still, by far, the most emotionally impactful scene of the entire MCU.
A lesser director could've made all of that eyerolly but it works so with because of Gunn.

GoTG2 isn't perfect (the climax is another overlong CG orgy involving evil blue energy), but the emotional beats definitely land much better than most of those in the first movie
New Endgame posters
If anything, Happy being in color means that he survived The Snap.
Where would Tony be without Happy....but wait...does that mean that Pepper didn't survive?
