I mean, Iron Man's quote about cap's optimism is new.
Yeah, you're right. We also hear Thor say "whatever it takes." That was not in the trailer.

The person who yelled "WHAT THE FUCK?" as the credits rolled was my hero.
Too funny.

It's been said many times before but the true brilliance is still framing Thanos as the protagonist. Completely changes the feel of the movie and helps it stand on it's own. The final scene with Thanos "watching the sun rise over a grateful universe" is one of my favorite endings ever.

Totally agree. "Thanos Will Return" at the very end gave me chills.

An amazing achievement. Even though many comic book fans saw it coming, I will never forget the stone cold silence in the theater after the movie ended. The general public was in shock.

I seem to recall giggling a bit at the post credit sequence where Nick is cut off in the middle of a very short word. As for the "general public", I think people are quite savvy about how storytelling works.

I just realized that Tony says "that's the Endgame" in AoU too. Callback? Deeper meaning? Just coincidence?

I actually wish we'd see Ultron back in one form or another since I actually enjoyed his mannerisms and personality.

Is it just me or does it feel like Age of Ultron came out a lot longer then 4 years ago.

That scene has more importance now after what happened in Infinity War. The whole thing was about creating an android because Tony believed they needed more people for the "endgame", i.e. threats that target the whole globe at once, and eventually for galaxy/universe level danger. And then the following dialogue:
Tony: How are you planning on beating that?
Steve: Together.
Tony: We'll lose.
Steve: Then we'll do that together too.
Can't wait to see these two reunited.

I still think Vision stowed away Ultron in his consciousness somewhere ("I don't want to kill Ultron; he's unique"), Banner said in IW that Vision was a complex mix of personalities, one of them Ultron. I reckon we'll see him return briefly as part of the attempts to bring Vision back, even if he's just a voice cameo.

To think Avengers: Endgame premieres here tomorrow, but I'll wait till the 25th so I can bring a few people.

There's also a new TV spot out, but I'm hesitant embedding those here when they're not on Marvel's page. I'll place it in spoiler-tags just in case. I love engineering Rocket. And the last shot in it is interesting.



Also, why don't we ask for a Community Spotlight, so we can get an influx of new people?

Oh, and a better look at Spidey's new stealth suit:

I had a guy like that in my theater who screamed what the fuck when Red Skull showed up.
I wasn't screaming, but I was also spouting a "holy shit" when Red Skull appeared. That was probably the most shocking, and best moment for me in Infinity War.

Scarlet Witch vs Proxima Midnight in Scotland is still my favorite battle of that film. It's so up-close and personal.

I probably shouldn't mention it until after the film comes out tbh.


Same, you never know what could show up. Today I spent some time watching the premiere red carpet stuff for Captain Marvel, and got some bad recommendations on the side: How Brie Is Ruining The MCU and a review called The MCUs First Real Mistake (which was 2 and a half hours long!)

Also watched the purple carpet stuff for Infinity War, and I laughed when Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly showed up, pretending to be in the film.
CM made a billy, Endgame is looking at 2 billion in the chamber. They gotta let this vendetta against her go, it's a waste of time. And in the end is just giving her free press.

The Marvel accounts are tweeting every one of the MCU post-credit scenes in order. I shouldn't be this excited, but GOOD GOD IS IT THURSDAY YET?

I'm watching the movie Friday night. I can't believe we are almost there.

My MCU rewatch is almost done. I'll watch Infinity War Friday afternoon before I go out to watch Endgame. Trying to rewatch Marvel and GOT at the same time was nuts.

This weekend is going to be a painful one for many GOT and MCU fans. I was talking with some friends the other day and really we are all about to be a part of not one but two major milestone pop culture moments that will be talked about for decades/generations to come. It's going to be insane and i'll be able to say I was there for the ride!

For sure. A lot of people are going to bite it between GOT and Marvel. It's going to be heartbreaking. :(

The Red Skull appearance was legit. For all the theorizing and guessing prior to IW, I don't think anyone I came across thought Red Skull would show up. That was such a deep cut into the MCU's history and it totally made sense.

I had predicted/guessed it on here in the weeks leading up to Infinity War which is why I reacted so excited when he showed up. I remember my girlfriend looking at me like a loon because I literally yelled "WHAT!" as soon as I heard the voice and knew who it was going to be.

i think what helped keep the red skull thing a surprise is that it was a diff actor playing him

The 4K versions of Winter Soldier and Civil War just showed up so color me pleased. I wish they'd release Doctor Strange in 4K already.

Yeah exactly. Going into Infinity War you knew Thanos would either snap or he wouldn't, characters would die or they'd live. Red Skull showing up was not something I thought was an option.

Hey The Kree , what day are you posting the Avengers: Endgame OTs? I think there's about 24 hours till the first people will watch it. I know it premieres here in Scandinavia tomorrow. I think Germany too, not sure.

The week is upon us, kids

Still have all of phase 3 to go in my rewatch

Already given up eating and drinking this week to avoid going for a pee during the movie, might as well give up sleeping too

WE'RE IN THE END GAME NOW

Stopping myself from watching all the new TV spots is proving to be more difficult then I had thought.

The marketing for this movie is fascinating. An exercise in how many tv spots can we make with the same 4-5 scenes.

I still gobble them up just for a half of second of new dialogue or scene.

How much total time out of 3 hours have we seen? 4 total minutes maybe? 5? They did a great job holding all the cards close to their vest this time.
