What you more excited for; Avengers, GoT, or Star war's end?

I can't believe this is true but here we are. Over a a year later and i'm not over how much I hated that movie however, I'm sure once I see a trailer for 9 the hope of hype will rise in me once more.
Man I wish I could still get excited for blockbusters. I don't care one bit about any of them. I hate superheroes, I think it's the lamest trend that just won't away. Star Wars is a shadow of its former self for the longest time now, TFA was okay, but it felt like a rehash and TLJ was just kinda bad. Rogue One was a story that didn't need telling and Solo is the same; there's no reason for it to exist.
Still, as lame as superheroes are, Marvel does have a decent formula that they keep succesfully exploiting and I'll admit to liking a few of them (Thor Ragnarok was a lot of fun). I guess they're the Ubisoft of movies: mostly predictable and bland, but sometimes fun.
As for GoT: I was into it for a few seasons but then my interest waned quickly and I never watched another episode since and I have no intention to.

This has somehow turned into another thread in which I read over half of the responses and verbally say "Yikes." Why can't there be any discussion about Star Wars that's nuanced and understanding? It's always this-or-that, no in-between.
It's okay if you didn't like TLJ or TFA. It's okay if you did. It's also okay to acknowledge that Star Wars is still incredibly popular. It's also okay to acknowledge that Avengers is probably more popular at the moment.
I hope next week's Celebration-related threads aren't shit shows like most of TLJ threads around here.

Definitely Endgame. Crazy to think I was in eighth grade when the first Iron Man launched.
GoT is cool, but I'm not dying to know how it wraps up
I don't care a single a bit about anything related to the new SW trilogy. TFA was only decent and TLJ was an even mix of gold and garbage.

GoT > Star Wars > Avengers
I don't really get the hype for Avengers since it's fairly obvious they're just going to basically reverse the "snap" and bring back most/all of the heroes. It's just not believable Black Panther and Spider-Man etc. aren't going to be back when you already know they have sequel films in production/development.
So the whole "cliffhanger" has no weight to it.
Marvel doesn't have the balls to keep those characters dead for any extended period. Maybe Tony Stark dies because they don't want to keep paying RDJ $20+ mill/picture but even that will probably be done in an ambiguous way so they can bring him back if they ever want to.
Plus you have the 25 year old comic and I'm sure they'll borrow from that.
GoT and Star Wars are much more unpredictable as to what happens next, but GoT especially.

I hope he makes his perfect GF in Endgame.
She is everything death is not!

Ya I mean I guess it's more I know humans survive while in a song of ice and fire I mean most likely humans will survive but shit I don't know for certain. If the characters are dope though, then it should be pretty cool
IX >> GoT >>>>>>>> Endgame
Love Star Wars and love the new trilogy. Really curious to see how it will climax.
I'm not to invested anymore in GoT, but i still like it. Usually i wait for the blu ray because it used to be expensive to get the service to see it at the same time as the US. But as that service got cheaper now (10 euro in stead of 25) I'll subscribe for GoT8
Hard to feel hype for Endgame. I like the MCU, but start to feel burned out and I didn't like IW. Can't catch Endgame until a week after release and that should've bothered me but it doesn't. I'll watch it and hope to be pleasently suprised, but IW doesn't give me much confidence.

Star Wars ended before I was even born so everything else has just been expanding the universe with varying results. Game of Thrones meanwhile feels a lot like Lost in that I like it, but I'm not as into it as people seem to be. I'm not going to miss it like I miss stuff like Buffy.
So yeah, I'd have to go with Avengers. This is like the finale to an eleven year long season in that I'm as excited to see where it goes from here as I am how this particular part ends.

Between GoT and Avengers, Avengers gets the slight edge since we're getting the conclusion in a couple weeks.
I have no interest in starwars...TLJ was a good movie, but I dont really care where the story continues from here.

I...honestly don't know. I guess it's between GoT and Avengers at the moment. I've seen all the MCU movies but I'm not all that invested in the characters. I think what excites me the most about Avengers is that it's 3 hours long and we've barely seen any footage.
I'm curious to see how they'll end GoT but the show has been hit or miss since moving beyond the books, so I don't know how to feel about it anymore.
I was really pumped for TLJ but it was pretty disappointing and my excitement for that trilogy took a big hit for a while. Maybe after the trailer drops I'll get excited again.
It's kind of a toss up for me right now. Not particularly more excited for any of the three over the others but I'm going to see all of them.

Haha right like you don't have to comment in every thread!!
I'm super excited for all three but in order Star Wars 9, GoT and then Endgame.
I guess a lot of that is I grew up with Star Wars and it's my favourite IP, Game of Thrones is ending forever whereas the MCU will keep in going after Endgame and might even get bigger at some point.

Game of Thrones AINEC.
Not a Star Wars fan. And Endgame will be a decent film but average fare for an Avengers film and nothing special for me.
Can not wait to see how GoT wraps up its threads.

The showrunners are following the outline GRRM has set for them in his written pages and draft outlines of The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Not exactly sure that fits the definition of "fanfic".
I'm anxious about Endgame. 11 years of build up. There's always that niggling worry that it won't be worth it. But also the potential for some really good highs and well-earned nostalgia and bittersweetness. It's nerve-wracking.
Couldn't give a shit about the other two properties.

Even without watching GoT, just knowing that the final season isn't based on any books and knowing how even great shows can really drop the ball in trying to figure out how to tie up loose ends, find a satisfying place to leave characters, and try to do it all over a satisfying season length story, I think there is a good chance GoT ends up being divisive at best and disappointing at worst.
The MCU is impressive that it got to this point and accomplished what it has by the time they pulled off IW so even if it somehow ends up disappointing, they already earned their victory lap. They stuck the landing on their setup, which is arguably the hardest part, so paying it off doesn't have the same pressure and they can move on to new things afterwards.
Unfortunately, Star Wars has done the worst at build up to what isn't the last Star Wars film, but will likely be the last "saga film" for the time being as well as just an end to this trilogy. I liked TLJ overall but it left me with no hints or anticipation for what is next, and what we do have (a Kylo vs Rey stand off) just doesn't seem exciting when we've seen Rey best Kylo when she was a noob and her powers have only grown since then. Besides the Rebellion seemingly only to consist of a handful of people with no ships now, Abrams will need to do a lot of leg work to build up something worthwhile for the conclusion to be compelling worthy of a finale.

Characters have changed in the show versus the book, others don't exist at all, some have died already. By definition it cannot be the same as the theoretical books from Martin. Yes, I am aware he gave them his outlines, so I understand the final state of the world should cut pretty close to what he would write. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show, but as a seperate entity from the books.
Honestly George being George, I fully expect him to make changes to Winds and Dream from the outline he gave them when/if he releases them just for spite.
Star Wars lost me after that last film. Endgame will probably be good, but GoT ending could be anywhere from good to total shit and thats more interesting.
Oh, one of them.
It's about the journey.
If knowing the general direction a plot was headed in ruined all narratives forever, nobody would enjoy any story.
And everyone isn't guaranteed to make it out alive (or whole).
And none of us knows for sure how exactly they're going to fix things, or what a "fixed" universe even looks like, heading into a future where Marvel must find a way to explain the sudden appearance of mutants in the MCU.
I'm the opposite. TLJ is the best SW movie and I have zero faith in Chris Terrio (BvS, Justice League) or JJ Abrams (completely unable to end a story properly) to follow through on the brilliance of what it set up and not just hit the reset button on everything to deliver more bland mystery box bullshit.
I do think it's kind of funny that TLJ lovers and TLJ haters are both super wary of Episode 9 for oddly similar reasons.
But anyway that's why my answer is Avengers.
GOT obviously, anything could happen, I've never felt such excitement in my life. I will be sad forever after that.
After that, Endgame will be huge but I'm really eager to see Attack on Titan which is coming this month and should be a million times better than whatever Star Wars X teaser will be.
