For the 3 people that care about my thoughts on Endgame

Okay so I’m putting this under one of those “keep reading” links which should save you from seeing anything because OBVIOUSLY this is all spoilery.

Tony dying was the most obvious and predictable thing in the whole universe, I don’t know why you guys are so surprised.

The time travel was an absolute fucking mess. Wow. It’s like they set out to do it as badly as possible. It’s possible to come up with an explanation that kinda works for most of it, but the work is all on the viewer because as presented it’s total nonsense.

Big funeral for Tony, no funeral for Black Widow.

Actually we don’t even need a funeral for her, you have time travel now. Go save Black Widow. The time travel is enough of a mess that you clearly don’t need to worry about that causing any paradoxes or whatever anyway.

Spider-Man’s fancy suit was fine at the end, but in his upcoming movie he’s using a way lower tech one that also isn’t one we’ve ever seen him with. Why would he switch to a non-Stark suit? Will the explain it, or just handwave it because the real reason is to sell more toys?

The scene where all the un-snapped folks showed up was perfect because somehow in all the excitement my dumbass brain forgot they were back. I’m sure that’s exactly what the filmmakers wanted, not sure what percentage of the audience it worked on but I’m glad it worked on me.

Fuck you Tumblr, for spoiling the fact that Steve got Mjolnir. Still cool though.

Fuck you, random clickbait headlines for kinda vaguely spoiling things about Loki and the tesseract (new band name, dibs) and Asgardians of the Galaxy.

As others have pointed out, Steve had to return the soul stone to Red Skull and I would pay extra to see that scene.

Is it just me or did Thanos put up more of a fight without the gauntlet than he did with it?

Captain Marvel is overpowered as compared to the rest of the cast AND she has no history with the rest of the Avengers, which means whenever she’s on screen she’s the hero rather than it being a team. I wish they had found a better way to handle this than just having her be “somewhere else, busy with space stuff” for most of the movie but I don’t know exactly what I would have done.

Loved the Hulk. Every second of him. Perfection.

The biggest missed opportunity caused by the infinity stones being destroyed was the chance for Vision to communicate with them from within the Mind stone, just like Ultron did.

I was still hoping that Dr. Strange would show up to give them the Time stone, then at the end go back to give it to Thanos and get snapped.

They only fixed the snapped people. Not the tens (hundreds?) of millions of people that died from secondary effects. Suicides like you wouldn’t believe. Enormous numbers of plane and car crashes. No emergency response because there’s too much happening at once and also half of them have vanished. Total breakdown of infrastructure, Safety measures failing all over. Children left in dangerous places by themselves. Food and resource distribution totally disrupted, leading to starvation and chaos. Collapse of the government leading to people carving out their own petty kingdoms. Thanos also eliminated half the food sources on the planet because his plan was totally stupid, so that killed people too. Entire ecosystems collapsing. THEN people come back, and it’s the same sorts of problems. Babies appearing on the freeway. Sick people appearing in hospitals that aren’t open anymore. Suddenly the population has (at least) doubled and food distribution is still planning for the reduced headcount. This whole world is totally irrevocably screwed.

Despite the time travel being awful, props to Marvel for making one of the only time travel movies where they actually think about the people in the current timeline. Usually they’re just “yeah I dunno I guess all the current people cease to exist, it’s fine, just don’t think about it”.

Totally bad lazy writing at the beginning where they’re like “We have no idea where he is” and then a second later after a comment from Nebula that didn’t come close to helping at all or giving them any new information they say “Oh and BTW we already detected the Infinity Gauntlet being used at THIS location the other day somehow” which, okay first of all that means you DO know where he is but also how exactly did you detect that?

The Girl Power scene was a little silly. These are all awesome characters that I would love to see working together and getting more screen time, but having them all take a moment from the battle to strike a pose and one by one stand up only to... honestly not do anything at the moment because Captain Marvel just flew off way faster than they could hope to keep up? That was dumb. If you want to show off your bare minimum representation do it by actually giving them cool stuff to do (which, yes, also happened to some extent but I’m just saying more of that rather than the blatant “LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE”).

As a fat guy who doesn’t like how fat people are portrayed in media, I still wasn’t really bothered by Fat Thor. Maybe I should have been, I don’t know, but I wasn’t. And you know, he stayed fat when he was kicking ass at the end so there’s that.

I called that Captain America would somehow be given a chance to retire, I wasn’t sure what that would look like. In theory I don’t mind him using time travel to live through all the years he missed, it’s a nice way to give him an ending, but of course it just makes all the time travel stuff worse and it felt a little sudden even with the thousand times they mentioned / showed Peggy.

I liked it. Did I mention I liked it? Because I did.

Avengers Preference: PDA

Tony Stark(Iron Man)

Everyone knows Tony Stark the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Everyone also knows he's the superhero Iron Man. So obviously Tony loves making a big deal of things, partying, and just having people notice him. He's outgoing, so obviously he's gonna love PDA. He loves showing you off at parties. He just loves always touching you and kissing you. If Tony has been drinking it gets even worse. Make out sessions, butt slapping, hugging you from behind, even grinding on you if he's getting pretty drunk.

Bruce Banner(Hulk)

Bruce surprisingly isn't 100% against PDA, he just only does small things, like holding your hand or kissing your forehead. He isn't the most flirtatious either, he's actually pretty shy. Which means you have to be the outgoing one in the relationship. But usually he's the one that starts holding your hand first, or something like that especially when he needs to calm down, you comfort him, and keep "the other guy" at bay.

Loki Laufeyson

Loki does not like PDA very much. He feels it shows his weak side and does not want people to see that. When you two are alone though, or when it's just the guards around in Asgard he treats you as if you are his queen. He is rather old fashioned on the matter, but he can also be shy considering he has never really loved someone quite like he loves you. You think its adorable and tease him all the time. So does Thor, but everyone can see you make him happier.

Thor Odinson

Thor doesn't 100% understand PDA. He is after all a Norse God from another realm. He is fine showing you off and talking about how wonderful you are, but things such as hand holding and cuddling are a bit new to him. Most of the time you have to initiate the action, but Thor loves doing whatever makes you happy and goes right along with it.

Steve Rogers(Captain America)

Steve is a very old fashioned guy. It's not that he doesn't like PDA necessarily, it's that it can make him uncomfortable and he gets nervous starting it. Steve really only is ok with it around the other Avengers. He doesn't like big crowds, or parties very much. So he will really just put an arm around your waist or kiss your forehead to make sure no one tries to flirt with you. But when everyone leaves, he's fine hugging you and kissing like it's no problem.

Sam Wilson(Falcon)

Sam really doesn't have a problem with PDA. He actually kind of likes it. Sam has a more outgoing personality, somewhat like Tony, but he's not all over you like Tony is. He loves to keep an arm around you waist, or hold your hand, kiss your cheek, or even sometimes when he wants something you knuckles. Sam always loves bragging on you to everyone too, you tell him to stop because you know he only does it to make you blush.

Pietro Maximoff(Quicksilver)

Pietro is kind of like when it comes to PDA. He is fine with it and will always hold you close, but never shows big displays of affection. Unless someone tries to flirt with you, then his protective side overpowers the others and he will do all kinds of things to make the guy leave. Kiss you, kiss your neck, pepper you face with kisses, and if the guy still doesn't take the hint he will pick you up and speed away.

Clint Barton(Hawkeye)

Clint is fine with PDA, but you don't necessarily love it. You two sort of compromise though. He holds you close by your waist, and there are a few short kisses, sometimes forehead ones, but no lingering ones. Sometimes though when you start drinking at Tony's parties, things can get a little wild. You become more outgoing, more touchy, even sometimes dancing, and even though he sometimes seems like a grump Clint laughs at you and goes along with it.

Peter Parker(Spider-Man)

Oh Peter Parker. Peter gets so nervous when it comes to PDA. You always have to be the one to start it. Even simple hand holding makes Peter blush like crazy. The longer you guys are together though the more he gets used to it and the more confident he is. Still in public he tends to get shy and blush a lot when you show affection towards him.

Bucky Barnes(Winter Soldier)

As you might have guessed Bucky isn't really a very touchy person anymore. He is not as charismatic as he used to be, he's always scared of hurting you. Bucky remembers the bad things he's done and that scares him. So he never really likes to touch you much in public, he's scared people will see him and think how did a monster like him end up with her. Overtime he starts coming out of his shell a little more and is comfortable enough to cuddle with you and kiss you more often when you're alone, but in public he really just stands next to you and sometimes holds your hand with his real one, in fear of hurting you with the metal one.

I. Am. Iron Man.

So i didn’t get into all of the stuff i loved about Endgame in my review because i was still processing. here was just, SO MUCH, and i’m not talking about the many, many, easter eggs. I’m talking about all of the fanservice. All of the nods. All of the ending character arcs and plot points. Bro, the shine in this movie is so bright that an entire post was needed unto itself so here we go:

Clint’s family getting dusted. My guy, this is the MOST i have ever seen Hawkeye do and it was so much. Like, Jeremy Renner got to act and it was devastating. This man lost his entire world and it broke him. It f*cking broke him and you SEE that happen.

Robert Downey Jr. I’ve heard whispers that he might be nominated for an Oscar and i’d be okay with that. Dude kind of Dark Knight Joker’s his way through this movie. And that ending scene? I. Am. Ironman. Bruh!

Paper Football!

Karen Gillan’s Nebula was pretty legit. This is the most she’s done in these films and i, as man who absolutely adores his Ginger Goddess, was incredibly happy to see it. I was a curious how they were going to incorporate her relevance from the story, into this movie, and was happy to see that she was so prominent.

“I lost the kid.” F*ck you, movie, for making me feel things so early!

Rocket and Nebula. Seeing those two characters together, knowing what they lost? F*ck!

Toy’s entire unloading on Captain America after getting back from space was just... F*ck. He was right in the worse way and no trust. No trust. I get why he feels the way he does but both of these cats f*cked up.

“I. Am. Inevitable.”

“I went for the head.”

Five years later. BRUH!

Scott Lang! Bro, Paul Rudd is a gift and he’s far more compelling and relevant in this flick than he’s ever been, even in his own movies. Dude was in the quantum realm and, for him, it’s only been 5 hours so he’s completely f*cking lost. Especially when...

F*cking grown ass Cassie! BRUH!! Are we going to get a Stature in the new MCU soon?? Seeing Emma Furhman walked out that door was ridiculous and the way Rudd played his surprised was perfect. I believed this was the first time he saw his what has to be his 15 year old daughter after last seeing her as a 10 year old. Solid f*cking scene.

Namor easter egg

Morgan Stark, are you kidding me? Kid was adorable! Terrible at her job but adorable to look at. And she did an admirable job as a proper for Stark to quip.

Professor Hulk was pretty okay, I like that Mark Rufflo’s arc had a finite conclusion but, i dunno? I kind of feel like this is temporary, as it is in the comics, but we’ll see. According to him, he was able to make that equilibrium happen in 18 months so he’s been that way for 3 and half years.

“I love you 3000.”

“Time travel!”

Literally any scene with Natasha and Clint but that first one when they finally see each other after so many years. If you’ve kept up on this entire saga, you know that Clint and Natasha love each other like siblings. He saved her from her bloody ass past, kind of, and literally set her on pace to become a hero. Clint saw her potential and nurtured her into the leader of the Avengers. Now, she has the opportunity to do it for him, to pull him out of the darkest that used to be her life. Which makes what happens not to much later a f*cking gut punch. Still, it was nice to see something “normal” return for those character.

Speaking of Natasha, Scarlett did a fantastic job as the character. For the first time since Winter Soldier, i felt like Black Widow was an actual character and not a prop. Like, when you look at it, these movies have been blessed with their casts and you get to see why in this flick. Her arc in this flick is one of finality but she’s able to do so much with her screen time, it’s ridiculous. Ma gives Tony a run for his money, easy.

“What’s up, Normal Sized Guy?”

New Asgard, Angry Girl, Meek, Korg, and Fat Thor. BRUH!

Chris Hemsworth doing his best impression of The Dude was hilarious and makes all of the sense. Dude had just destroyed Asgard and taken his place as king when Thanos decided to slaughter half his people, kill his best friend, kill his brother, and then Snapped. Thor lost 3/4 of the entire Asgardian race. There’s literally like, 12 houses in New Asgard. That’s what’s left. Dude’s understandably in a bad place.

TIME HEIST!!

That’s America’s ass!

Watching Hulk half-heartedly smash on his way to the Santum Santorum was cute. Speaking of...

Bro, the Ancient One kind of fending off Chitari was awesome. She would have definitely been there, doing her thing, over yonder. I never even thought of that! It was also dope seeing Tilda Swinton back for a cameo, the first of many time displaced shenanigans!

Loki peace-ing out!

Alexander Pierce, Rumlow, and Sitwell. Seeing them again was awesome.

“Hail HYDRA.”

Everything on Morag was hilarious. Paring Nebula and Rhodey together was a stroke of genius. They play off each other well. I hope they have a bit more interaction going forard. Interesting enough, there are a couple of scenes where they get to interact, and it looks like Rhodey might have made a proper impression. Like, Nebula LIKES him and it’s cute as sh*t.

Past Nebula f*cking everything up! Jesus, b*tch, get your sh*t together!

“That is destiny fulfilled.” Bruh, past Thanos just being okay with his murder is chilling.

That struggle to be Vormire’s sacrifice. Bro, that was f*cked up and it hurt when she fell.

“Let me go.” F*CK!!

Howard and Tony interacting as adults. That was awesome to see, I’m glad Tony got that in the end. he needed it.

Peggy. All she had to do was look up. That’s all. F*CK!

Yo, Jarvis! Shout out to the one show that gets a reference in the movies! Nice!

Stark’s gauntlet. Cats are trying to argue that stark tech shouldn’t be able to harness the power of the tones but, why not? The current armor can do some incredible stuff and there’s a ton of vibranium availed to them now because of Okoye. It kind of makes sense they’d be able to find a way to make that happen.

Time-Travel Thanos! My man didn’t have nearly the presence in this film, than he did in the past and that’s okay. He’s not supposed to. this isn’t about stopping the Snap. It’s abut undoing it. It’s about AVENGING the fallen. Outside of being a final obstacle, Thanos holds no real relevance to Endgame. But, that last obstacle is a doozy!

The Big Three versus The Mad Titan. BRUH!!!

Cap wielding Mjolnir! BRUHH!!!!

Thanos shattering Cap’s shield. BRUH!!!!!

“Avengers. Assemble” F*CKING, BRUH!!!!!

Iron-Dad! Seriously, the reunion scene between Pete and Tony made me cry. The fact that they let Tom Holland and RDJ come up with that scene on their own; Like, all of that was improvised on the spot, was amazing. Seeing them together as the opposite of how i felt when Pete got dusted.

F*cking Wand, man! She solo’d Thanos as second time! and nearly killed him! Ma went in on him with brutality and pure rage! If not for Corvis bailing him out with spaceship guns, that would have been the end right there.

Wait, did i mention Rescue? Pepper out her in her own armor, making some vets in the hero game, look like straight rookies. Dope sh*t is dope!

“If i tell you what happens, it won’t happen.”

Black Panther acknowledging Clint, the opposite of the first time they met way back in Civil War.

Pete finally activating instant kill mode. Stabby-stabby!

“Heads up, Queens.”

“Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?”

But dat A-Force, though. HNGGGG!! i’m not goin to lie i never knew i wanted some thing so bad until i saw all those chicks line up and absolutely hard body Thanos’s army. We need this movie. Make this sh*t happen!

Carol eating Thanos’ headbutt and that look of legitimate concern on his face. Keep in mind this is a Thanos with a five stone Infinity gauntlet on, and Captain Marvel is overpowering him. She’s a f*cking problem!

“I am Inevitable.”

“and I. Am. Iron Man.”

Watching Tony die was f*cked up. Rhodey and Pepper getting their moments, sure, but seeing Pete break down like that? Hearing him call Tony by his first name, for the first and last time, man, i lost it again. Tony watched Pete die five years ago and now Pete is watching Tony die. This is a 15 year old, man. man, f*ck this movie for making me feel things!

“I love you, 3000!” F*CK!!!

Yo, Harley was there! That was kind of dope. Kid got huge since Iron Man 3.

“I’m going to get you all the cheeseburgers you want” Come on, movie, you can’t keep emotionally devastating me like this. It’s not fair.

Old man Cap. I’m glad Falcon got the shield, he deserved it and thee’s no way Bucky and be Bucky cap, he’s a literal, publicly known, terrorist, but seeing an aged and happy cap who finally got some of that life Tony was talking about, did my heart some good. until...

My mans finally getting his dance. That’s it. That’s the last scene of this film; Steve and Peggy slow dancing in their home and i f*cking lost it again. He finally got to keep his date.

Endgame was so good, dude. This thing, even withit’s flaws, gave me, as a fan, everything i needed. If i never get another MCU film after this, i am good. We lost some pivotal characters, sure, but what was left, i think, is pretty special. I’m curious to see Far From Home now. That takes place immediately after this and i want to know what heading we’re going toward. It’ll be nice to get a breather after this bookend. It has been one helluva ride.
