- This is it. Does Endgame live up to the hype? Does it compare to Infinity War? Does Brie Larson ruin the movie? Is this the end of the MCU?
Find the answers with me as I review Avengers: Endgame.
Warning - Spoilers (Skip to 11:57 to avoid them)
For anyone who missed the nuance, Nebula's arc comes full circle at the very start of the movie playing table-top football with Stark. She wins at something. For the first time in her life. And what's more is congratulated for it. It's a beautiful moment.
And she's not even the main character 😂
Never thought of that part till now. For me, the bugging question is what Captain America was like when he eventually meets the Red Skull while returning the Soul Stone.
@@duphasdan Red Skull: I can do this all day... every day
@Rutger Ockhorst He is the keeper of the thing and would remain there till the stone returns.
Great observation. A great little character moment, and with the scale of the movie, I like the fact they still took the time to have little moments like that.
I'm pissed that Hulk didn't get to smash in the final battle I understand why but still wanted to see him hulk out at the end.
We saw him tap a taxi and throw a bench pretty far tho
Seriously. They destroyed one of the most powerful characters in the MCU. When they were trapped at the end was a great time for Bruce to be like alright Hulk, we need you buddy. He Hulks out, heals that damage, and starts kicking the shit out of everything world breaker style. But no, we have this.
@@zahhari3170 i agree plus it would've been like that panel from secret wars where hulk holds up a mountain to save everyone
@@zahhari3170 I think you are way off: the merging of hulk and banner saves everyone: power and intellect to use the stones. But it clearly lost Hulk's real primal power. He says he accepted hulk but he didn't, he just became half-hulk. I bet at some point, in some last movie, he will go back to two separate entities, but really symbiotic. True hulk and true banner working together.
But this hulk could not heal and smash. Yeah, he still can fight, but he had already done his part.
@@kevinfry1850 If you are disappointed because of something that is outside the movies IMHO there is something wrong.
Banner suppressed Hulk even more than usual and he pays for it, that is the whole point. THAT is character evolution. And remember that Ruffalo is still on board, so I expect the old Hulk to re-emerge stronger and more primal than ever. In this movie Banner was the important character. And yes, maybe one more fighting scene at the end would have been best. But it is totally unnecessary for the character and the plot. Maybe we'll get him in the extended cut.
I loved that when Tony was surrounded by his makeshift family at the end, they were all protected by armor he built for them.
Edit: wow, thanks
Just noticed that. Everyone around him was wearing his armor
@@lln7065 I thought it was so sweet
Didn't notice that
Rhodie stole it!! And the military upgraded it. But yes, Tony's armor nonetheless and it's a beautiful with this in mind
Wait, I was wrong. That isn't the same armor lol
Why the Avenger's series succeeded summed up in two lines finally answered in Endgame:
"Everything special about you came out of a bottle."
"You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
The fact is,they've proven that over and over again throughout the films.
It's the fact that they proved one more thing.
"If we cant save the earth,we'll damn sure Avenge it"
maybe the second line....but the first was not an accurate statement at all.... it was completely wrong.
@@charliefoxtrotsky4104
How was it wrong? Steve Rodgers was useless - until he got the Super Soldier Serum. Sure, his heroism was his own trait, but without his super-powers, it all accounted for nothing. Whereas Tony BUILT the power he uses, Cap was GIVEN the power he uses. So, we can't blame Tony for calling out Cap the way he did while Cap was flexing on him.
@@hanburgundy4317 Capt wasn’t useless!! He is the leader of the Avengers and he helps clear the Hydra out of Becky’s head. WTF! Capt used Thor’s Hammer!!
@@captcrais101
I didn't say Cap was useless lol I said Steve Rodgers was useless _until he got the Super Soldier Serum_ , and then I explained why. Come on, man.
I liked the bit when Stark managed to overcome one of, if not the, greatest challenge sentient life anywhere in the universe will ever face by figuring out the near infinite complexities that make up time travel, at his kitchen table using a few old breakfast cereal cartons, some dried spaghetti and a bit of prit-stick.
He unravels the secrets of shifting between universes. He does not create time travel. Only time travel in Marvel is Dr.Strange.
Duct Tape Devil cinematic or comic? Because if you include comics then a lot of characters but first to mind would be Bishop and Cable would love to talk to you, if you cinematic remind me when Strange time traveled?
Jean Deaux I hate there version of “time travel” it’s stupid to me, but until it’s invented one can’t say for sure complex, simple, alternate universe, flows one way like a river or more like a ocean, to me the movie broke its own rules if changing the past doesn’t alter the present then how did thanos even get the mind stone it was destroyed by scarlet witch and he rolled back time to before it was destroyed, sooo altered past changed present
@@thedrno4901 I'm usually talking cinematic about Marvel. Bishop and Cable.... ick. Cable I admit to not knowing too well other than the utterly miserable Cable vs Firefist story for Deadpool 2. Bishop is a decent argument though I thought Bishop meeting Time was one of the least fan approved story lines. Bishop cements time as working a certain way and actually completely destroys the Endgame storyline. Strange literally wears the Time Stone giving us a definite view of how time can be manipulated within Marvel.
In a movie with a magical man that uses lightning to defeat his foes and a giant green guy, THIS, is surprising to you?????
Pepper Potts in an iron man suit...
Hmmm...
Iron Maiden...?
🤟
Up the Irons!
They actually did it in the comics, her hero name was Rescue
🤘
That would be an awesome name, but they'd probably get copyright lawsuits from it
Margaret Thatcher...?
Howard the Duck was in the fight at the end - what a legend!
What.....
@@lilledrum it’s true, next to Wasp
Lol Howard the detective.
its nearly two years later and we still laugh about how i made my cousin laugh so hard he threw up in the theatre by going "brace for the girl power" about 5 seconds before the all female battle clip.
Oooooh. Ow. That would have made my viewing experience soooooo much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha yea and then you won the lottery and bought Disney right?
Nice!
And then everybody clapped
How do you laugh so hard you throw up?
"Mauler's gonna have a field day with this one" - bloody hell mate, I can't wait now.
@harrythebarry lol, MauLer isn't a shill
I snorted my coffee when he said that. =D
@harrythebarry I am sorry, but liking a movie you may not, isn't "shilling". Not to mention infinity war was an excellent movie, one of, if not the best MCU films ever made. Not perfect mind you, but the good far outweighed the bad. Which unfortunately Marvel didn't manage to top or even match with Endgame.
Endgame is riddled with plot holes, inconsistencies and plot contrivances, it had some good moments but overall it's average at best, unfortunately. if you watched Mauler's stream you would know that he feels this way over Endgame too, so how is he shilling if states the faults of another movie in the MCU ?
@harrythebarry ooof that's a really bad take you got there mate. lemme guess you're one of those people that says Star Wars is for kids. Nevertheless if a movie is written well enough and is enjoyable enough, regardless of age almost anyone should be able to enjoy it.
Not to mention, the reason I brought up Endgame was worse that infinity war wasn't to justify anything, just to prove the point that MauLer isn't a shill.
He criticizes movies as he sees fit, not because someone is paying him to espouse a certain opinion or that he is a diehard fan of the MCU and think every MCU movie is perfect. He has movies he likes and movies he doesn't, it's as simple as that.
Again, I will reiterate, liking a movie you do not doesn't make that person a shill.
Infinity War is ten times better than Endgame, but the former its still a plothole ridden mess. Mauler overlooked all that, and called it ''And Unbraidled PRAISE''. I lost a bit of respect for him. Hes doing good with GoT critique though, but that might be bandwagoning, something he obviously didnt do with IW and Im not holding my breath for EG An Unbraidled Rage, that will upset the normies.
Man hearing you describe the last moments of Tony almost brought me to tears like it did in the theater.
I truly dont get why he snapped away thanos's army, seems they could have the same victory by him just flying away
@@Insane_Kane u dum??????? alien things would've still put up a fight
Plus you can clearly see the stones are literally killing him before he snaps
The feminism shot at the end was cringe but in a 3 hours movie with about 1h50 of fan service, I think it's fine if they have their 20 seconds.
Captain America getting back in the past to give the soul stone to Red Skull should have been a crazy awkward moment tho.
Yeah. It’s a bit like a make-a-wish gesture. If women are so weak and insecure that they need special treatment, give them 20 seconds of ego stroking.
I think you’re overreacting. They would have done this kind of shot even 20 years ago, had there been a movie of that scale with that many heroes back then.
It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with modern feminism.
I’ve been to the movie theater with friends, two of them girls, who are real Marvel fans, who take this stuff seriously. Both of them have said that they would have loved a scene like this when they were younger.
Not everything that has anything to do with the modern left and feminism is bad.
RamsesTheStone
20 years ago, Ellen Ripley duct taped a machine gun and flame thrower together (twice), do go destroy the horde of aliens and single handedly fought the queen in a Mech suit.
It fits this conflict because it’s ultimately about individual successes rather than the collective success. Heroes lead the collective to success but the stories are about that individual doing better than the rest. There have been and always will be the Sarah Connors and Ellen Ripleys, female heroes - and incidentally, T2 manages to squeeze in some discourse on the importance of femininity as a strength, which is what’s missing in female characters these days...
But the scene in question was more about female empowerment rather than tie empowerment _of_ females. It’s ideological, and so, an affront to the viewer, that wants to see team work that’s a little less cringe.
@@RamsesTheStone
Like Mike said, 30 years ago, we would've had all of these characters well introduced, developed and built for this moment in contribution to the story, and without making it so obvious that they're there because of their gender. Now... there has to be an obbligatory scene for a certain public, independent if it makes sense, if it's well done or if it's good.
In terms of superhero movies, I can understand little girls needing more aspiring female models, but don't be Ghostbusters(2016), don't force it on the movie, much less on the public, because instead of contributing to the whole "female empowerment", you're just reinforcing the idea that women need blatant appeal to be represented, as if they weren't capable of doing the same as others so they have to take time of everyone just for themselves. Not to mention you're just doing it to please certain audiences, doing that only damages the film as a work of art. If you're not going to bother doing something actually meaningful, it's better that you just don't do it.
@eL WacKaZ: That wasn't Red Skull dumbass. That was an entity that resembled Red Skull. Get your damn facts straight.
Endgame's plot in a Layman's nutshell:
Act 1: LEFT BEHIND (without the Christianity)
Act 2: BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II
Act 3: THE RETURN OF THE KING (with a bland gratuitous sprinkle of feminism).
**Tears will be shed**
**Laughs will be shared**
credits
The irony is that Return of the King has what could be classed as a feminist moment but actually earned & done well!
LOL but only if they got to go 88 MPH That's pretty close.
@Guy Turner - Agreed.
dont know how "the thude" factors into all of this, maybe we will need to ask the Big Thorbowski.
I get the Return of the King comparison, but really... Ride of the Rohirrim alone was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (don't want to exaggerate, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay) more emotional and epic than the entire third act of Endgame.
The movie had great moments - the poignant moments were the best - but felt a bit of a mess overall. They absolutely raced through a huge amount of story in the opening segment, pre-time travel, and it just felt like half the movie up to that point had been left on the cutting room floor. And they totally did the dirty on Thor, not happy with that at all. I watched a lot of the press & interviews building up to this, and had the impression Hemsworth wasn't happy. Now I see why.
Apart from Brie Larsen being a total non-event (she's still rubbish even in the 5 minutes she's in the movie), every worry that people had about Endgame leading into full on SJW Marvel came to pass. I'll be finding other things to spend my time and money on from now on.
From what I've seen, Chris Hemsworth pushed for this (can't say for sure), but he keeps saying in interviews how happy he is now that he gets more say over the character. I didn't like it - I was hoping for more Infinity War Thor, all pissed off and powerful, but they nerfed him entirely. He could have just been angry and reclusive, they didn't need to make him a washed out slob and drunk.
@@JackChurchill101 thing is, in the comics thats pretty much what happens to thor, but he also becomes the all father in odins place, becoming one of the strongest being in the universe. he rules over an Asgard that has no people left, but he still rules it
@@JackChurchill101 Maybe, it was just their way of showing how depressed losing loved ones made him.
@@happystar1000 - fair, but it's their story, they can tell it any way they like. So they chose to do it this way, and Chris probably enjoyed it a lot more. Me, not as much.
I didn't mind Thor being a drunk. I mean, look at the channel we're watching. What I really hated was that he was a fat drunk. Guess he'll be back to his good self in the next Guardians film but I'm done with the MCU.
I was okay with depressed Thor because he didn't use magic to give himself six pack abs. Even though he was filled with anxiety and depression, he got the axe, fought alongside his allies, even with a beer gut. Anyone can be a hero, even those who have let themselves go.
Defeat can do that to a person.
THIS. This is someone who understood Thor. He was just a guy that had the deity of a god thrust upon him since birth, never did he stop to think of a different life for himself, it wasn't until he really lost everything that meant to him and he finally got his revenge, he realized that he had nothing else to live up to. He tried to keep his selfrighteous pride by acting like he was the one who won, when in fact he lost a long time ago, and deep down he knows that but won't admit it after all he's been through. That is a real person. THAT... is good writing.
No hero is infallible! Even a hero experiences failure and defeat from time to time. And yes, heroes can die as well.
I agree that it portrays a good message. A hero is found in his heart. Not in his muscles.
Yeah but they over-did it. Make him into a fat drunkard who spends his days alone was better than the thor we got that was used mostly for cheap jokes. He's the fucking God of thunder for God's sake not a mere mortal.
Just watched it and I totally agree . I was confused as well when I left the cinema. I hate that they made clown from Thor which is my favourite character since Ragnarok. He looked and act like Volstagg from Thor comics, which is shame and misuse of the character. They also made Thanos like "typical MCU villain" kind of way, which is simple evil guy with no good reason or motivation for doing evil. Feminist moment also ruined tension of final battle for me, it was such a cringe moment that made me just mad. I don't understand why they went with the timetravel, it didn't work in any movie.
What the fuck are you on about. No good reason or motivation? He saw the future unfold before his very eyes: in another timeline he succeeded in his pilgrimage and the Avengers are ruthlessly trying to undo what he believes to be his destiny. I'd be pissed, too.
Thanos motivation was on point. & despite it being an obvious feminist moment I did enjoy the all female moment. Those bitches have all proven their badassery. It was well deserved. Just sucked Black Widow wasnt there for it.
@@DravicPL what I meant with motivation is that he was always about preserving life, but here he just want to destroy it all and start the new one. Eliminating Avengers would be easier and faster way to keep his balance since only they had resources and ability to undo the snap. I don't buy that crap with "there will be always some people that remember how it used to be, thus you need to kill all and start from scratch". It was bad motivation in my opionion and made him like most MCU villains. I think that instead of capitain Marvel they should make Thanos origin story, that would expand his character even more.
@@st4ne4rmthevill63 really? Haha My theater was loving the battle then the girl power moment came, a few people gave 1/3 of a cheer then stopped as more characters appeared, then my whole theater went completely silent. My face got warm from pure cringe, like you're embarrassed for someone, I looked around and I saw 3 people (teenage boy, teenage girl, and a mom) who looked like they were sucking a lemon then I realized I was making the same face, Cringe.
The "Girl power" bit to me wasn't that bad, I feel it was deserved as they were established and not thrown in like Marvel.
Infinity war was the best. Endgame missed the mark, it was a tossed salad.
It was 3 hours long, but I felt rushed. So strange
Not the best analogy. Depends on how you feel about tossed salad. Let alone what kinda tossed salad we're talking about.
Avengers: The Cop-Out
@mickey7411 You kinda went a bit far in a few places...
Calm down. Not every woman in this movie is in there for SJW reasons. Pepper and Tony fighting together was teased back in IM3 and so I'll give it a pass.
The first 2 hours were soooooo long i wanted to go home. The finale fight is cool, fan service bla bla bla. But its soooo generic. Its NOTHING original. Even time travel with the blue impostor. And i hated the “avengers greatest hits”. Cou,d have been 2 hours seriously. Its not the worst movie, i cant wait to rewatch it at home cause my spine and neck couldnt stay still after almost 3 hours, infinity was was definately better, it wasnt conventional and shocked me. And it was thrilling. Almost all along. Endgame was boring until the final fight. Ill like it a bit better on my second viewing probably, at home. But im disappointed
One problem with the time travel was that it actually lowered the stakes, and thus lowered the tension. Like you said, it's supposed to be a race against time, but once they were in the past, they had all the time in the world.
Not literally of course, but they weren't racing against Thanos, they were only racing against the time when they knew exactly where the stones were, and really the reality and mind stones were the only ones with a severely limited time frame within which they knew their locations. The rest of the stones were in their relative positions for years, centuries at least, for two of them.
Even after they'd gotten the stones, though, they had lots of time. They could have stopped for a bite to eat, taken in a movie or three, played chess, gotten a good night's sleep, anything. They could have waited a few _years_ before triggering the time machine to bring them back. There was no rush to get back once they had the stones in their possession.
If this was the last true MCU movie, it died on the battlefield in glory. Here's to GotG3: Asgardians of the galaxy 🍻🍻
Your synopsis of the finale from 10:26 to 11:14 shows us all what an excellent author and writer you are, its sounded like an excerpt from a great audiobook
How tf is thanos more powerful in endgame without the infinity glove?!🤔🤔🤔😤😤😤😤
He was always that powerful and should always have been that powerful. He should have beaten himself, like in the comics.
Because in IW he was hardly using his abilities and in this he's trying to brutally murder everyone on the field.
Did you want him to be a pussy who gets his ass beat easily?
Timecop is still the best time travel movie.
Time After Time (1979).
Back to The Future. Minority Report. Edge of Tomorrow. Butterfly Effect
Terminator 2
Yep, primer.
In time cop, if you touched your younger self you would both die. In this nonsense it's no consequence.
didn't the Ancient One warn Bruce if they didn't return all the stones back to where they came from that that timeline would turn to chaotic shit? since Loki stole the Tesseract doesn't it mean that not only is Loki still alive but now that universe is trash and all the Avengers are murdering assholes?
I was wondering that, too.
I might be alone on this but I actually think the Time Heist is the best part of the film because it actually gives us something different to the rest of the MCU.

Hey man love you vids you going. To do any more unbridled praises I loved that video and you clearly put allot of passion into it . See you and Have a good one
I appreciate the mess of this film. They did everything they could to make it a fun jolly joyride calling everything that happened in the past 10 years. I would have preferred something else - as discussed here but I can appreciate why they did it.
The other main problem, yes - Thanos - it was very strange to kill the villain only to have another, younger, more psychotic villain be there instead. Yes, it cheapens him.
Glad we agree Mr Drinker, - your analysis is spot on.

@@WiloPolis03 exactly, this dissapointing mess was the end imo. Guardians 3 is the only one that interests me, mind you with fat thor the clown there, who is going to be a threat?
A lot of the feelings you get while watching Endgame is based on the way how they timed the filming of it. Everybody knew that Infinity War and Endgame were filmed back to back and that it's going to be two seperate movies. While watching Infinity War you just knew that it will end on a cliffhanger and while watching Endgame you knew the movie will sort everything out. It's just less tension.

My wife even said that girl power scene was cringe as fuck. She said it felt forced. They could have done that in so many different ways and it could have come out better.
Captain marvel almost ruined final battle
....By being on screen for hardly 2 minutes and still getting fucked up by Thanos nonetheless? Okay, dude.
@@bucket9486 she got sucker punched l. She was overpowering thanos. Took the blow no problem. Everytime she there thanos got some work lol
@@bucket9486 She just shows up and blows up the biggest ship. She was totally an completely unnecessary to the film and her being there was a jarring, fish out of water moment everytime.
Who are you and why are you in this movie, kinda thing? Maybe it was the acting, I don't know, but Larson looked so uncomfortable and out of place when she was on screen.
Thanos literally punched the bitch out of the movies runtime to save it.
Yeah she had barely any screentime but ruined the mood every time
Worst thing was captain marvel with the guantlet not flying upwards into space but forward unto an army
This movie sounds so unsatisfying. I expected Cap to go out with a bang.
Edit: I was wrong, liked the way things played out. Sucks this may be the last time Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers.
Yvonne G but now they have Cap ready for retro Shield ops in the past with Peggy, so many ways they can go with this
Yvonne G No, he went out with a full lifetime of happiness. Much better in my opinion.
16:13 I'm pretty sure it's meant to reflect the fact that half of all life in the universe was killed when Thor was so so close to save it, and how that's affected him as a person
Indeed. He didn't become a loser for no reason.
The population of earth has doubled in the last 50 years. So “the snap” really only bought the universe 50 years but with untold and unimaginable psychological damage...as Tony would say “not a great plan,” especially from someone who’s supposed to be some diabolical genius.
That isn't how population growth works....
Dunning Krueger effect
It is a Lazy soul-less script
Too much Deja Vu, plot holes, regurgitation of previous movies, Deus Ex Machina, waste of characters, no originality. and the worst: no coherence, no verisimilitude.
A few nice ideas, but terrible mistakes.
Unbelievable how people don't see how weak it is. I was expecting some thing more intelligent from the Russo brothers...
I guess u dont care about the mcu lol
@@hazimazman9617 well, they made good movies that led me to believe they would rise the bar: Cap movies are good, GotG movies are good, Infinity War is good. In all of them, we have artisitic liberties coexisting under certain coherence. Not in this one.
"its hard to take it all in one go" that's what she said
I grew up watching marvel movies (particularly the first 2 iron man movies) and even though it's not perfect endgame holds a special place in my heart and is easily my favorite movie of all time
I agree about the story and the cheap time travel tactic. I didn't like it because of this point. Saying a turd sandwich is roast beef doesn't make it true, same for timelines. Hulk and Thor sucked.
Infinity War was always the big movie Endgame became big because of how great Infinity War is
Couldn't disagree more. The time travel aspect was the most enjoyable part of the movie. I like that the movie decided to have fun with itself and not dwell in all the drama constantly.
As flawed as this was it was the last truly great epic emotional moment of a 10 year journey that in hindsight significantly spelled the end of the MCU. Yes looking back Infinity was the better but Endgame was a very satisfactory way to end the MCU. Infinity was the Empire Strikes Back of the MCU while Endgame was the Return of the Jedi.
Endgame left me feeling emotionally stuffed, like I ate too much at Thanksgiving and needed to sleep it off. Though the film worked hard to balance drama with levity and to tie up as many loose ends as possible while delivering a satisfying ending, I really felt those three hours.
I tear up when I remember iron man in endgame. Iron man is an awesome hero and probably my favourite after endgame.
Your Thanos insight was excellent! That's exactly how I felt about him
In my opinion, Thanos personality in endgame is a bit more true to the source material than in infinity war, which is better in my opinion considering his reason for wiping out all life is mute considering that nano technology or the gauntlet could help solve the issue he thought existed, has a genuine concern, but approaches solving it like a caveman, at least the Thanos in endgame is more honest with himself
Just one complaint; The Dude isn't the Big Lebowski, the old guy in the wheelchair is the Big Lebowski.
Reminds me of people that point at Samus and say "Hey look it's Metroid!"

Haha decided to look back and watched this review for the first time now. So much has changed since then. But a well put together honest review. Hats off drinker.
it was a great finale
"I am inevitable"
"And I am Iron Man"
Perfection
But Drinker, you neglect the huge issues that the Avengers have left in their wake following Endgame: How do we feed 3.9b people who have reappeared after 5 years? our food production would've ramped down to accommodate less people and there were less people to do the work, potentially millions would starve. People would blink back into existence to find they had no job, their money and assets gone through probate services, their significant other in a new relationship, or perhaps even dead themselves through normal events in the 5 year interim. Maybe they were in an aeroplane at the snap and blink back into thin air to fall to their deaths.
Infinity War is one of the best films i've ever seen and Endgame is nowhere near as good. Its a good film but too much was expected from it.
apart from thanos's plan being pointless
I found infinity war pretty predictable that thanos would get the stones and use them and I didn’t feel worried for any characters because everyone knew they would come back. Partly because of the Spider-Man and guardians movies they announced. I think endgame was better.
My main gripes with this movie:
BANNER. This could've been done so much better...it's implied that Hulk was scared after feeling his first ever beatdown at the beginning of Infinity War, okay, that's understandable. Banner takes the 5 years after Thanos' snap to find inner peace with the Hulk, okay, that works too. It's everything after his snap that's the problem, he basically disappears. I think a better way to play it would've been the snap to restore everyone broke the fusion between the two, and Banner would've been struggling and on the verge of death when the compound was attacked, leading to old Hulk finally emerging like old times to heal and save him. This could've been going on as Cap, Thor, and Tony were fighting Thanos, and had old Hulk come raging out of the rubble to get his one-on-one redemption against Thanos after Thanos knocked around the other three, giving him a much bigger play in the final battle. He also could've been the one to take down the ship.
Thor. I'm fine with giving him severe depression, I mean, it makes sense since the guy has lost literally everything and failed at the end of Infinity War, but there was no reason to nerf his powers and make him a useless, dirty, and idiotic fatass. Plenty of people deal with extreme PTSD and depression without that kind of outward image. Would've been better to show him as a recluse unwilling to fight and instead of coercing him with beer, just use the time travel and a chance to see Jane and his family again as motivation to come out of hiding and find his true self again.
The girl power scene. Don't even get me started. There were so many on the Avenger side that didn't know each other and would've stayed with their own people, like Valkyrie, the Wasp, Shuri, Mantis, etc. Valkyrie should've been fighting with and leading the rest of the Asgardians, likely with Thor and maybe Banner. Wasp should've been protecting Scott as he attempted to fix the van, makes zero sense for her leave his side, she knew literally nobody else there. Mantis isn't a solo fighter and would've been supporting Star Lord, Rocket, Nebula, and Drax. That timeline Gamora had just turned and didn't know anyone else there with the exception of Nebula. When Pepper arrived she would've found and stayed with Tony, Rhodey, and maybe Peter Parker. Shuri and Okoye would've been with Panther, Bucky, and the rest of the Wakandans...maybe even Sam & Steve. Why the hell would've Wanda pulled a 180 from personally hunting Thanos (remember, to her, she's fresh off Thanos destroying Vision) to escorting Danvers who she had no idea existed? The whole scene was just so pathetically dumb and such a pander job that broke my immersion in the final conflict.
Strange. He comes back and all he does is hold back a flood? That's the best you could come up with?
I'm okay with the Widow death, a sacrifice had to be made for the soul stone and having it be a well-established and well-liked character gave it real weight. I thought that scene was very well done.
Steve's ending. I didn't think it made sense to give the shield to Sam and stay back in time with Peggy. If anything, Bucky should've been the one to ascend to the shield since he actually had physical abilities similar to Steve's. Sam was good as the Falcon, but without the flight suit he's just a guy. Bucky was cleared of his programming but still was serum augmented, had his bionic arm, all of his training, and most importantly had no place in the world so it would've made sense for him to become the Captain while Steve searched for his. Steve staying back in time for Peggy was cute and all, but that was mostly an infatuation on his part over the years over his missed date, they didn't know each other THAT well, and he knew Peggy had her own life and family without him, seems messed up of him to go back and prevent all that from happening. I think a better arc would've been a short scene of him returning to the past for the dance he promised her, explaining to her that he made it, he's okay, but he has to leave, and then returning to the present. Closure for all and no questions.
Totally agree that Marvel wrote themselves into a corner with Infinity War, and that Endgame was a substandard solution to it - time travel is most definitely cop-out writing, and we got a preview of the cringe M-She-U with the forced ‘girl power’ scene in the end battle….
its totally the last jedi effect... cant watch the old avengers movie without thinking nothing else matter now..totally redcon everything.. . and also "NO ONES REALLY GONE"
You do realize Obiwan starts talking to Luke seconds after he's killed right? (a movie made in 1977 A New Hope) Not really a new idea that "no one's really gone" in the Star Wars universe buddy lol
Well, Visiom's gone, Black Widow is gone, Iron Man is gone and Captain America is an old geezer. Hardly no one
Avengers passed the torch to failures, as it turned out
I respectfully disagree... endgame was PERFECT. pulling memoribal scene from the comics, exact quotes, closing out character arcs. PERFECT.
THANK GOD it was Tony that delivered the death blow and not captain marvel. It always deserved to be Tony.
It should be drax thanos killed his family Tony stole his revenge fucking Tony he even stole Spider-Man enemy mysterio who is now a angry Tony wannabe Spider-Man is Tony's bitch screw stark
On the other hand, would it have been Brie she could be dead now
If it was D&D writing it it would have been Marvel for sure.
@@supremelordoftheuniverse5449 as if. Her origin movie showed that she's vastly overpowered. In case of doubt her ovaries would protect her from damage.
All jokes aside, she got hit pretty hard by the nerfhammer in Endgame, which is a good thing. People like heroes that have weakpoints
Jay Morales don’t kill my hopes :(
Anyone else feel Nebula was a more compelling female protagonist than Captain Marvel
tomato
And she’s almost a literal robot as opposed to just having the acting skill of one.
Nebula was actually pretty interesting a character and fun to watch. Captain marvel is a really cool concept and she has a cool entrance scene near the end, that's where it ends for me.
I genuinely expected Nebula to deal the killing blow.
Her entire arc revolves around her hatred of her father.
I was hyped for captain marvel, and had no issue with her being a woman. It was Brie Larsons attitude that ruined it for me. Captain marvel is the worst female character in the MCU
John Yates Agreed, although see barely edges out black widow 😉
The smartest part of this film is keeping Captain Marvel shipped off to another part of the galaxy for most of it.
Not enough, unfortunately. Pissed me off. They could have finished Cap and Bucky off in a classic fashion that echoed down the ages and did justice to ten years of films. Now I'm just pretending that shit didn't exist.
Or hulk not coming out 🙄🙄🙄 cause that would never happen in the comics
Yup, she basically did nothing except take down Thanos' ship and then get bitch-slapped into oblivion by Thanos with the power stone, both of which could and should have been done by different characters. She's in so little of the movie, but is still somehow the worst part of it. I don't like the time travel logic they use, but I still hate Captain Marvel more. They tried to ram her down our throats so damn much leading up to Endgame...
In the conclusion, I would have loved for Thanos to get a hold of the space stone. Then, instead of going straight for the gauntlet, Captain Marvel charges at him, ready to fly straight through his body. Then, with a wave of his hand, Thanos opens a portal right in front of him. Captain Marvel flies through accidentally and she's teleported to a galaxy on the other side of the universe. This way, she’d have about 2 minutes of screen time.
I personally am a fan of a digitalized Brie Larson decimating Thanos's entire fleet by t-posing her way through spacetime. Her entire existence makes the entire movie meaningless, and therefore I know that she is empowered.
Russo Brother: You need to see Capt. Marvel before Endgame of youll be lost.
Me: *So that was a fucking lie...*
But it's good that that was a lie.
You would be more lost if you hadn't watched ant man and the wasp than that movie
I haven’t seen either movie (and don’t plan to) and Endgame wasn’t hard to follow after a Infinity War

This hate for a character just because she doesn't follow the hero tropes is ridiculous. She will evolve into a real character in time. And thanos beating her may be the first step to a great character.
@@Manweor its not hate of a character. I hate Brie Larson the whole annoying person.
@@marcodetter5782 the other actors seem to be good friends with her, I would trust more them than a few distorted words said in random movie conferences when trying to create hype
@@Manweor Which also was mostly sarcasm and them joking around together, taken out of context by UA-camrs with too much time on their hands to feed a certain narrative because it delivers them views with outraged people.
I still dont get it why people hate Brie so much? She's kinda cute i think...
Why didn't Nebula turn off her WIFI? She should have known better.
She didn't have Incognito mode installed? Or some VPN?
Always use airplane mode when time travelling, that’s basic training stuff.
This. I actually nashed my teeth in the theatre when this came into play. My wife asked me, as the credits rolled, why I ground my teeth mid-film. I said, Nebula, Thanos, secret spycam lady etc. She went, yes, that was pretty terrible.
She should show what other benefits come to interstellar neural networks.... like she should constantly be learning things.... but no
How would she know that would happen? IT is interstellar time travel. A person (character) can't think of everything. This isn't possible, so it actually makes sense.
For me, "Endgame" is to "Infinity War" what "Return of the Jedi" was to "Empire strikes back": A somewhat flawed but still satisfying followup/conclusion.
Very well said
good analogy.
You know what,
You're right
shit, you're right
Oooh that's a good one and I think you were the first and only person to ever make that comparison.
The sidekick known as War Machine had more emotion than a full fledged superhero that had her own film.
I love Rhodes
Why would you expect every single female character to be an emotional mess? Iron man wasnt and he was applauded for it called the man for being a cocky playbot. Captain Marvel is a fraction of that and everyone hates her.... hypocrite much?
@@MissHardmode it...was a joke.
@@MissHardmode we don't want her to be an emotional mess. It's about showing emotions. you know like when someone cares about something a lot they show emotion. she's just an overpowered mary sue and has the charisma of a plank of wood.
edit: and has a very shitty attitude as a person.
"Side... kick... THIS!!!"
That picture of Cap standing alone in front of Thanos and his whole army, is my favorite shot in any movie ever. That picture tells you everything you could ever ask about the character of Cap.
The one that stays with me is Hawkeye and Widow, flying through space - "We're a long way from Budapest". You can see into that exchange, with the emotions on their faces, and feel something very special between those two.
That CA is willing to die trying than surrender ing to Thanos and his army.
@Kryptoskillet he's still a single man against a world breaking army man
Well, it didn't worke for me at all. In fact i hated it! maybe because i hate America 🤷🏻♂️
I've never really gotten that type of attitude, to me that (standing even when alone) is what I expect from anyone who calls themselves a superhero. If you can't/won't stand alone you don't deserve the title.
Caps character is he does whatever he feels is right, regardless of the stupidity, selfishness, legality or recklessness of the idea.
Repeatedly trying to get into the army despite the fact he would be a complete detriment to his fellow soldiers
Going AWOL to rescue Barnes in 1940's, what would have happened if he and/or H. Stark were captured alive?
Dumping all the SHIELD data onto the internet (great job idiot, shame about all those real agents and their families that got killed over it though huh?)
Everything he did in Civil war
Abandoning Barnes (after everything he did in civil war) in 2021 to go back in time to bang Peggy (a woman he barely knew)
Nebula helping Tony sit on the chair was more heroic than anything captain marvel did👍
We got to see a tender, gentler Nebula. She must have gotten the robot hots watching Tony work on the ship.
That haircut Captain Marvel got was pretty heroic.
Making Black Widow's sandwich was more heroic than anything Captain Marvel did.
as much a Capt Marvel is a card board cut out.. remember she is a soldier not a hero.. and more than that a programmed one (I doubt all the programming just vanished) thus ends my defense of the character...
@@treyriver5676 Ur not wrong and that is very true... Still doesnt change that she was poorly written. Better writing can be done for soldier characters who've had their minds messed with and reprogrammed as shown by Bucky.
I look back at Endgame and wish the MCU ended there. It makes me look at other media that ended ‘too soon’ and makes me realise that sometimes things need to end.
this comment needs about sixty thousand more likes
I think they should've waited at least 3 years to start the next phase by introducing The Fantastic Four and the X-men.
yeah 🥹 thanks for the memories Marvel
Too many IPs and money to be made
"Captain Marvel doesn't get to ruin it." That's all I wanted to know. Thanks for that lol
Oh thank Stan Lee
She really tries to. Thank the Russos, it was the only way. It also establishes a good way to manage her over-powered nature in future ‘I’m needed on the other side of space! I’ll be back to deus ex machina the final battle in the nick of time, see you then’
She does have that scene towards the end that is pure feminazi propaganda. It's just a short moment, but it stands out like a sore thumb
We Love Pop Culture it’s really not a scene, it’s just a single shot. But yep it does make a sensible fan laugh, sigh, cringe and throw up a little all at the same time. Infinity war had a similar shot, they just cranked it to eleven for this one.
@@JefAlanLong Yes, maybe calling it a scene was too much. But it was the most pathetic moment in the entire MCU. Besides the fact that political propaganda in general (and feminist brainwashing in particular) should be left out of movies, there's the fact that, as the video pointed, it makes no sense at all that all the females just happened to be right there at that moment. At least they didn't show the males drinking beer and watching sports while the women did all the hard work LOL
The poor writing of women in that scene is simultaneously sexist (no time to write female roles well, huh?) and at the same time, it's political pandering to women. Basically they created the worst of both worlds. Trying to come up with explanations, this is what I got:
Scarlet Witch: "I came back from being dusted; to me, I just saw the love of my life die. I really want to find and kill Thanos for that. I almost already finished him off by myself. And now the ship's cannons are offline, so I really could finish him. But instead, I'm going to back up Captain Marvel, who I don't know, even though she seems to need no help."
Mantis: "I'm also back, and I'm the most recent Guardian of the Galaxy. I haven't got much fighting ability, I use empath abilities, like when I read emotions, or help calm people so they can sleep. Now, instead of fighting with people who I know, I am going to run off alone, with the fighting strength of an average person, to back up Captain Marvel, an alien I don't know."
Wasp: "I just came back to life, haven't even met Doctor Strange before, and don't know what Infinity Stones are. For some reason I flew through one of these portals after Strange or one of his underlings told me to, onto a battlefield. Then, instead of staying near Ant Man, my partner, I've decided to hunt down the most powerful woman on the battlefield to back her up instead of people who really do need help."
Valkyrie: "We just doubled the remaining Asgardian population with the reverse snap, so I came to keep it that way! Now, instead of actually fighting with Thor or my other fellow Asgardians, I decided to find Captain Marvel and provide absolutely unnecessary aid while people I actually have close relationships with might be dying and need me."
Shuri: "I'm the Wakandan technology expert, basically on the same level as Tony Stark but without battle armor. I'm going to leave all my people behind to back up Captain Marvel, someone who I barely know, even though I was basically their queen for the past five years and they're the most likely people to die in battle without help."
Okoye: "I'm acting as Shuri's personal bodyguard. I am literally the only person with an excuse to be in this scene."
Lmao great job
That was the most enlightening comment Ice read in a long time and absolutly nails it.
I agree, I dont think the "womens lineup" was necessary or important but rather silly and out of place in light of how much was really really at stake in that apocalyptic moment.
It's amazing how the moment can fall flat on its face the moment people start pointing out things like this.
They don't back up Captain Marvel because she's a woman, it's because she's in possession of the Infinity Stones, their only chance at achieving their objective. Yeah, it's maybe fan-service & certainly a bit pandery to Psycho-Lefty identity nonsense, but it's not mean-spirited or central in any way. The way I see it is as a bit of fun.
@@alexrennison8070 I think of it is a cool looking bit of useless pandering y'know
I loved how in the end Aria didn't show up out of nowhere to stab Thanos.

@@tomforsythe7024 She was a sexy, strong "One of the guys" type gal. The only likeable female in the entire MCU... I dont think her loss has been realized yet by most. Scarlet Witch, Kitty Paw girl and Brie Larson arent going to have that same chemistry with the gang.
@Mark Mitchell True, thats why she is better set for doing things like gathering intel, planning and leadership. She does alot of those things too.
@Mark Mitchell But hey! Thats better then Captain America. She makes the old cast the ones unable to meaningfully contribute lol. "Oh... you CANT just fly straight through a dreadnought ship in space?"
Tony's conversation with his Dad is what helped him make the final sacrifice. Not just dying but giving up the life with his family etc.
I cant remember the exact line but essentially Howard says he hopes his son can do what he never could, put the greater good over his self interest.
Not sure why so many people didn't like that scene. I felt like it was the last bit of character dev that Tony needed. I enjoyed it
Thanks for pointing that out
I think he said the opposite saying he hoped tony wouldn’t be like him, who put his self interest first and not his family because he wasn’t there for tony( built tony a friend) referring to other comics where tony speaks to his father. I thought it was referring to the slice of life, more a point for captain than for tony who always stated he would do whatever it cost. (Intro to endgame is him saying as much to pepper) even his post death message all indicated that and he recorded it before the time travel.
@@nomadscheap-n-nerdy9901 Nope, Howard states clearly that he had been selfish and rarely put others before him. I'm not sure that actually holds when you see him in Cap 1 or even Iron Man 2, but I guess he felt guilty for doing all this for his own success/fame or something like that (not explained). Anyway in that scene he could not know that he would not be there that much for Tony because Tony was not born yet.
I liked it because before, Tony always had animosity towards his dad (in Civil War he cared more about his mother getting killed than his father). But that scene with his dad developed Tony and humanized Howard to Tony and gave him a new perspective and proper closure.
the "passing the torch" is a bit far fetched. nothing will ever fill the shoes of the original Marvel heroes. I predict a grueling future, where the marvel franchise will get mercilessly milked tp a point where its thinner than water. I loved endgame, and most of all. I loved that brie larson had pretty much no screen time in it.
Yeah, I don't see how they can keep expecting big returns on secondary characters unless the start getting their budgets down into the 100 million dollar range.
Yes it's pretty much over.
I think they can still have great one off movies for certain characters. Like spiderman should be good, X-Men could be good, black panther 2 could be good. I just don't think the big overarching story will be as compelling
@@sentjojo Good point. We have had a massive story arc (which I believe was masterfully done) in which the final villain wanted to wipe out half of life in the universe (and actually did so!). Unless the next villain wanted to destroy the ENTIRE universe, what is going to be the next terrible evil that all the heroes will have to face which will top that one?
So for me, this pretty much ends the MCU. I am not at all a fan of the PC/SJW culture, don't get me wrong, and I strongly suspect it will have a detrimental effect in the end, if it hasn't already. But this story was so good, the characters overall were so well-done, the BBEG so well written (Thanos), that I don't care to see another one. It would be like a group of fans writing a sequel of novels to The Lord of the Rings. The original (and the Hobbit) were so good that I could not care less what happens in Middle Earth after the passing of Sauron and the breaking up of the Fellowship. And to follow up on that analogy, the only great evil authors of such a trilogy could come up with would be if Melkor actually escaped the Void and wanted to wreak havoc.
@Zaber Endgame is the end of not just the MCU but for superheroes as a cultural phenomena. Every single MCU movie after Endgame will loose more and more revenue and profit. The series shall slowly loos relevance and just disappear. The stories will get worse and the diversity/inclusion/sjws will get more and more obvious and in your face. You think that shit with all the females in Endgame was cringey? In 10 years you'll be begging for only that level of cringe.
Things Captain Marvel contributed to the movie.
1) A MacGuffin get out of jail free card.
2) An contrived aspirational photo op.
3) A form of catharsis via Thanos’s dismissive kick that sent her flying out of the rest of the movie.
I liked #3...
surfitlive wonder if he snuck in a 6-pack of Hennessy to see that happen
@Darkness1984 Not good with reading comprehension eh? 1) Miss MacGuffin was Tony’s contrived get out of spaceship jail free card.
Sure she blow up Thano’s space ship, meh, Scarlet Witch could of taken that down too. As for being overly obsessed with the genital size of strangers on the Internet... Have you spoken to a professional about that by chance?
Aw yes!
Crazy how 1 plank of wood almost ruined 10 years of movies.
I remember people literally cheering during that scene!
Plot twist, I started the cheering...
Let us not forget the biggest sacrifice made in the entire movie, the sacrifice of Ant mans first taco
truly the most tragic part
About Thor, I think the movie did a good job at having each hero cope with their loss in different ways. Cap works to help others recover. Black Widow distracts herself with work. Hawkeye seeks vengeance. Hulk/Banner finds true peace for the first time. Stark ends his billionaire playboy antics and settles down to start a family. But Thor takes it the hardest, as he has the greatest sense of guilt, dooming half the universe to death due to a moment of hubris; he becomes a recluse, hiding in his little home playing video games rather than learning to live in the world he shares responsibility in creating. It's only after a heart-to-heart with his mother that he is finally able to cope with this and learn to function in society again.
It's played for laughs, yes, but Thor's predicament is easily the most heartbreaking, and he has the strongest character arc in the film learning how to finally cope with his failure.
Sure, but Thor in this movie feels less like a broken man ridden with guilt for not being able to stop millions of deaths despite having the power to do so and more like a guy who flunked college and has given up on life ever since.
@@saisameer8771 Idk. When he wasn't pretending to be funny and all that, the depth of sadness and darkness in him was very potent, especially in his interactions with others. I think they did just the right amount to flesh him out.
@@saisameer8771 I thought they did very well with Thor. In the beginning of Endgame, it very much felt like a guy ridden with guilt. But remember the rest of the movie is 5 years later, so at that point, that is how he's been coping with everything he's lost (including his family) after all that time.
@@simonbright2975 yea, when hulk said thanos, we could see thor's inner pain .
He had it the roughest. Let's go back to Ragnarok. His father dies, his hammer breaks, his evil sister kills his friends The Warriors Three, wipes out Asgard's army, he loses an eye and loses Asgard to a rampaging giant. He manages to escape and saves somebody his people only to meet Thanos in space and gets a number of them killed, including Heimdall. Then, Loki gets killed. He goes through a lot of trouble to forge a new weapon. He gets a chance, throws his axe and succeeds where his teammates fail but victory is snatched from his hands because of a moment of hubris. He gets a second chance and properly kills him by going for the head but about a month too late.
That he doesn't become a drug addict or suicidal is a feat.
They nerfed Thor out of the necessity. He become too OP character for the Universe. He could've swung gauntlet effortlessly, and single handedly end Thanos in final battle . Remember , he almost killed him when Thanos had stones . And now, when Thanos doesn't have them - Thor would've just obliterated him . And so they had to nerf him somehow
People seem to forgot that in endgame thanos has a sword that could break vibranium and armour made of ERU metal I believe that’s its name
@@pilkers2 and thanos had all of the stones including the power stone in Infinity war...and Thor still 1-shot him
@@dannyboy2005 because Thor caught thanos off guard with a lightning strike and judging by the blast he fired at Thor he only used the mind stone to fire at him probably because he had just got it
@Kryptoskillet but it wouldn’t make sense considering Thor had lost everything and he is responsible for trillions of deaths he was probably extremely depressed and had no motivation for anything he got ptsd from banner just mentioning thanos’s name despite Thor killing
@@pilkers2 while he may have caught him off guard thanos didn't hit Thor with only the mind stone. If you paid attention at all it's fairly obvious each stone has a respective color and that color is shown when the stone is in use. The scene where Thor is shot at by thanos has a rainbow shot which insinuates that thanos is using the full gauntlet against Thor, he's just countering it with an axe that literally brings the bifrost forth without the bridge.
Had a great time, for the most part. There were spots where I wanted to cheer. My awe of the such a spectacle kept me quiet and shoving popcorn in my mouth. Iron Man's sacrifice was heavy, but a welcome conclusion to his storyline. When the funeral ended and Tony's daughter was visiting with the family valet, the dam unexpectedly broke.
"..what do you want for lunch?"
"..cheeseburgers."
Did you just call Happy a valet?!
If it were a fast and furious movie, he'd be family! 😅
Pretty sure that Pepper still considers him as family
Yeah I don't see that scene being appreciated much but it always makes me real melancholic when Happy asks her that.

I knew they couldn't top Infinity War. I mean the movie is good because the bad guy won and that's different than the standard "villain of the week" formula.
IW is the MCU’s Empire Strikes Back. Its already got cult status and will be remembered as the finest of the MCU.
Exactly...Thanos winning made it so different and so amazing.
I found that one of the best traits of IW was how Thanos was a respectable character, while in Endgame he wasn't bad, but wasn't too far off from your standard "Villain of the Week".
@The Jim Reaper™ Cap died? News to me.
Endgame would be good if it wasn't so slow and if Thanos actually had the amount of screentime that he had in Infinity War.

@@harrylong2796 good for you.
I’m dumbfounded that Cap and Bucky didn’t even have a moment together at the end.
Bucky should have talked to old Cap in the end instead of Falcon which would also be more logical but then they wouldn't have had a new young Cap (for future movies) so they went with Falcon
Yeah i hated that he gave his shield to Falcon. It should have been Bucky. Here athletic black man who has no abilities, have my shield. Plus Cap and Bucky could have really had a "moment".
I think the point was that Steve din't need to explain anything to Bucky, because Bucky already understands (and because there is plenty of time for them to have their moment later).
Bucky sees him and he immediately knows what has happened, he understands, because he is just like Steve, a man out of time ... but unlike Steve, he didn't have anyone to go back to, he had no Peggy waiting for him.
Falcon however, has no idea.
A more important question would be, WHERE THE HELL DID STEVE GET THAT SHIELD?
Grubnar is that what you figure? Lol
A. Crews actually dumbass, falcon gets the shield because that’s a reference to exactly how it happened in the comics.
When Steve Rogers became an aged old man, he appoints Sam as the new cap in the “all new all different marvel” run.
Thor before infinity war
- realised he didn't need a weapon because the power was inside him
- settled into his role as king
- lost an eye to show what he'd gone through
Thor after infinity war
- got another hammer
- no longer a king
- got a new eye
These movies really fucked him over
Made him better u mean
@@AcidifiedMammoth they backtracked on all of his development for no reason. No, they did not make him better
Pretty sure Watiti will crap on all the development that's happened again
Not sure what to think of him tbh
On one hand, he's become one of the guardians and his eye (a gift from rocket) and his new weapon (literally put together by groot) are supposed to represent how the guardians helped him find a new family (them) by basically making him a better version of himself.
On the other hand, you'd think he'd want to rule asgard in honor of his family and friends who died defending it.
so i see it both ways
@@AcidifiedMammoth entire character was built around to become a good king now he's no longer a good king
Endgame was great but not as good as Infinity War imo
I agree
in was hard to beat from the get go, imo. it had all the possibilities with none of the restrictions, while endgame had to fix everything that infinity war indulged in.
You know, when you think about it, Endgame is probably an objectively bad movie. Idk about you, but I kinda felt like the whole "time travel through parallel universes" was just one huge Deus ex Machina which really messed with the narrative.
But the movie is still satisfying as heck and I really enjoyed it myself.
@@isaiahlee2902 It's absolutely a 3/10, maybe 4/10 movie. Too much pandering, mediocre comedy, that cringey scene with the women, bad CGI (the helmets in particular were just atrocious), the cheapness of the time travel solution... it felt like a very uninspired movie to me. You could tell it was made only because they had to make it. Were it not for the fact that the characters were set up in much better movies (most of them anyway), Endgame may as well have been another Battleship or Battle: Los Angeles.
infinity war was perfectly structured, perfectly timed, the ultimate ending twist.. endgame was the most emotionally powerful of the series so more emotionally effecting. so while infinity war was structurally better and of course amazing, i put endgame slightly higher in my estimates, and endgame has had a far greater impact on moviegoers too which proves it. but they are both amazing movies so it doesnt matter. two amazing mcu movies in a row. trouble is they are so amazing that marvel will never be able to reach those heights again. especially not with the new unlikable and unpopular characters they are putting in the next phase. and their own endgame will be like ten years from now. i still think no one will give a fuck about them after that time. .
Wasn't the gauntlet made specially by the dwarf .....by using the power of an undying star.........how in the hell did they make it on earth.....to channel such an immense power...of the stones
Stark. Genius. Actually it was him in the comics too.
Iirc they had the broken gauntlet to reverse engineer from, so they didn't have to work from scratch. Then it's just the convenience of Stark having nanotechnology and being a genius to figure it out.
And tbh it still probably isn't as protective as the proper gauntlet, since Hulk's snap damaged his whole arm and shoulder, while Thanos' snap only did his hand. Further, Tony's (comparatively) simple snap of dusting Thanos' forces (far less than half the universe) killed him.
But yeah it's annoying how they brushed past that. Honestly if they just hinted/showed that they just used the time travel more to let them prepare, it would have been ok.
..... oohh. Oops.

@@ИванЧерников-ю9о THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO PHYSICAL TRAUMA
The girl power scene really came out of nowhere for me, and I honestly think it would have gone better if her, Rhodes, and Falcon had a small aerial dogfight moment, all three being Air Force. Like, think about, Peter passes it off and War Machine forms up on her left, Falcon on her right, and the three start flying towards the van. A nod to who their characters are, rather than what's in their pants, would have been a lot cooler in my opinion.

@@Conrad-py8mp It made me very agitated how weak Thor was and how little action Hulk had
We should've gotten the Black Widow movie before Captain Marvel. Change my mind
Wyatt Hill true
We should have gotten the Black Widow movie before the MCU went overboard with WOKE agenda. Captain Marvel would have been better without it as well.
Doing her movie after she died (even though its a prequel) seems kinda weird/lame.
@Hobarth McShane IKR. So sad. "I don't know anything about comics or story telling but I'm going to help change the world with my political agenda. Black Widow is popular so she will make a great tool for my social engineering movie".
I get it, Disney - Patriarchy Bad, Women are flawless. I'll have to pass on the "Black Widow" movie. Such wasted potential 😞
Or literally any of the established and more compelling female characters they already had lol
It's been 2 years and the deaths of Tony and Nat still break my heart. The look on Clint's face when she fell was.... well, it's the face of a man who has known real loss. It's a fight where there are no winners. Even the survivor of it loses. The sheer testicular fortitude to write a movie wherein a man and a woman fight to sacrifice themselves is.... well... awe-inspiring to anyone with an ounce of sense and an understanding of the backdrop of the culture war.
for me that one bothered me, i mean, is both good and bad, good for the emotional scene but bad since, you know, you kind up had to be a monster to hold ONE infinity stone, yet Tony holds all of them and able to use them, when he is a mere human
Yeah, but you notice it's the f*cking chick who wins.
@@martinacosta3821 the gauntlet, mate, the glove. He wasn't holding them in his palm.
@@Mopsey so? It still takes a toll on you, you can see every time thanos added another one, so nop
@@martinacosta3821 Well, RDJ's taken more drugs than the entire historical population of Cali combined, so he probably just felt like he'd dropped a few valium, tbh. No more questions needed. Take it from me, you spend enough years putting enough chemicals in you to kill an Army, a wee girly infinity stone gauntlet isn't gonna bother you.
Am I the only one pissed off about what was done to the hulk? Also wouldn't Cap have run into the red skull while returning the soul stone?
I've been waiting for The Professor or Doc Green to show up. Dumbass Hulk is only tv Hulk even the childlike Hulk was never as stupid as they show him on TV and even the MCU. Mr Fixit would have been awesome but I can't see how they could fit him into endgame. So I was actually happy with Endgame Hulk because we finally had a Hulk that wasn't a drooling angry moron since they never showed us the childlike wonder Hulk saw the world with.
Right? I wish we got like a last 10 minute scene to show cap returning the stones to each place and Mjolnir, encounter Red Skull and have that interaction and then contemplating his decision to stay in the past, only to cut back to the present with Bucky, Sam and Bruce to find him as an old man on the bench. Then we find out he stayed and married Peggy. I will say that while yes, it's open to interpretation, I feel that was one missed opportunity for us as fans of cap.
EDIT: As for Professor Hulk, I was happy with him all in all.
I was more upset about what they did with Thor.
No you're not. It wasn't Hulk. I get what they were trying to do but a green Ruffalo is not the Hulk. On a side note I'm pretty sure the Russo brothers and Mark Ruffalo are going to block me on Twitter. A fat drunken Thor and a soy Hulk, oh well.
@@odinthorson3484 I think for Thor it was necessary he was too op he would have decimated. Thanos
You forgot the bit where Captain Marvel gives Jailbait Parker the cougar eye, a nod to the comic and the only humanising trait of her character🤣
"Hey Peter Parker, ya got something for me?"
"Yeah, maybe if you grow out your hair a bit and clean up your attitude."
@@KnuckleHunkybuck Alternatively....
"I need an adult!"
InfernosReaper I aaam an adult
@@KnuckleHunkybuck The short hair looked way cooler for her.
Peter Parker plucked it with his prickled pecker.
Yea this movie definitely isn’t perfect. Some things I didn’t like:
-Professor Hulk wasn’t done right and felt squeezed in
-Thor was absolutely emasculated, it’s a disgrace
-Woke feminism scene took me out of the final battle
-Tony shouldn’t have been able to hold the gauntlet even for a few seconds
-The time travel parts felt too meta and like a completely different movie
Thor should have had the fat joke then transformed when he powered up. I can kinda see why they did it, he took his failure badly (as seen when he kills Thanos) but the fat joke overstayed its welcome.
AOR xMinxG Without a doubt... I thought they would use the time machine to revert him back to fighting shape like how they changed Antmans body during testing
@@2weakkickflip That would have been AWESOME
Skeptical Slim -If they really wanted to flush Professor Hulk out, they could have waited for a solo movie. He just felt rushed and wrong
-I understand he is supposed to be broken, I just thought once he realized he has a real second chance, he would get his shit together and become the badass wakanda Thor we all loved, albeit for just like 5 mins
-If you’re denying the movie was trying to score some woke points with that cringey ass “She has help” scene in the final battle, then you have not fallen into the battle of identity politics yet, lucky you. Try to keep it that way honestly
-Yea that scene was absolutely iconic even if it didn’t make much sense
-And yes, opinions on movie are subjective my guy
Skeptical Slim Yea me too I’d give it a 9/10. It was awesome
Can't really say I agree with the whole review. I loved the time Tony got to spend with his Dad and I feel was the final piece of his growth. He always had a somewhat negative view of his dad and thought he didn't love him. Yeah we got that small moment in Iron Man 2 with his dad on the video, but he got to actually talk to his Dad realize he was wrong.
Infinity War was Thanos movie, endgame was not his movie at all, this was all about the original six avengers with two of them getting a final sendoff.
So they essentially pulled a “Jake Skywalker” on Thor. I’d be really pissed off if I was a Thor fan.
xdanman 117 great reference
i am pissed off
@@imabird4205 Fuckin A.Of course they have shit all over the original comic Thor since Ragnarok .Fuck it,I have all my comics.An almost complete run of Thor except early rare and expensive issues.Don't know much about Thor's comic since 2001 or so because I quit collecting then do the direction it was going in.
Yeah, I enjoyed the movie and I loved Thor in IW, but I was frustrated with some of how they handled Thor in this movie. I didn't mind it early on in the movie, but they stuck with it pretty much through the end. He had no real hero moment.
I think it worked OK - Thor pulled everything he had into his "revenge" arc to fight Thanos in IW but in the end he failled. He blamed himself for the results and brakes under the pressure he puts on himself . It was an extrem move, but not a totally unrelated one.
Heck even Pepper Potts did more than Captain Marvel, she was casually one shotting giant Leviathans using the armour for the very first time in a battle
Ironically, since Gwyneth Paltrow could be argued to be even more insufferable than Brie Larson. Though her character was written better.
@@azh698 all Brie Larson does is whine, but Gwyneth Paltrow actively manipulates and preys on trusting women, Gwyneth Paltrow is an actual evil person.
@@benmcgill2018 You're right, I hadn't considered the business angle, just the public personas.
Captain Marvel being largely absent from the movie was great. The obvious girl power scene was cringey: Mantis is not a fighter, wtf is she doing in the middle of the battlefield
The rest was great. I kinda wish they had skipped from tony's death straight to the funeral without the hologram though
To be honest I had the same feeling with Shuri and Pepper being involved in the fight, I felt they weren't truly the fighting type, but of course, it was done purely for fanservice.
LOL I didn't even notice Mantis in that scene. That makes no sense.
Fat Thor and pussy Hulk....what the fuck? didn't like this film at all. too bad cause Infinity War was pretty damn good, for us old guard comic fans who grew up reading the Infinity Gauntlet storyline it was not good....not at all.
The worst part of that scene is that most of the female heroines there are awful characters.
@@skylightsblade9468 well, pepper, mantis, valkyrie, and shurie are underdevelloped because they didn't have their own movies and they are tertiary characters, captain marvel doesn't even have that excuse
Totally agree with you on this. I have to say I left the cinema feeling a bit underwhelmed, despite the fantastic moments.
The send off at the end was what made it worth it.
The ending was beautiful but as a whole it wasn't an amazing movie tbh...lots of great scenes though.
The ending left me with a even bigger plot hole. When hulk went to get the timestone and the women told him if he takes it. Itll make her timeline branch out to make another timeline. In return not affecting the present avengers timeline. So then how does captain America come back old after living and making another timeline with peggy Carter? He made another timeline where Carter has a family with Steve. So if he were to go to the future. He would go to HIS timelines future. Not the present avengers one.
Yeah me too most of it had to do with fat Thor and captain feminazi taking hulks scenes ( he was supposed to break the ship and get a rematch with thanos but they had to edit in captain “ what makes her a captain again?” Carol Danvers) plus it was just slow and terribly paced, all the great stuff was at the end.
My favorite moment was Scarlett Witch going after Thanos.
And then she and Clint get the exchange at the funeral. After all their "veteran and newcomer" interactions in Ultron and Civil War, it was very satisfying to see them treated like friends, and not have them and their losses just thrown away.
SW: you took everything from me!
Thanos: I don't even know who you are.
SW: you will.
@@kylefrank638 Like Cap and Bucky were. Rrrgh.
If I were a super villian I would avoid a confrontation with her at all costs, especially if she is angry.
I wonder why she didn't disintegrate him into molecules?.. She can do that to the f***ing Infinite Stone, the most powerful artifact in the Galaxy, but can't do the same to a simple mammal???
the movie overall is a great ride for a moment. but after you watch it and having the afterthought, you'll it cause many plothole and nitpicking ending up making you unsatisfied for some reason. i'm having that experience right now
The movie was entertaining because you get to see all the characters on screen. But it is so messy and full of plot holes. I think the movie should have been a little shorter and with less side missions. That scene where Iron Man and Captain America go back to the 60's, seems unnecessary. They just wanted an excuse to show Peggy Carter.
@The Legend of Legends I think they should have gone back in time to talk to Dr Strange and ask for advice or find out how to defeat Thanos.
Yeah, i think I'm starting to have that experience too after reading this comment section.
yeah after my hype died down from watching it I started to realise some of the problems the movie had. The next day I really realised oh shit, this movie actually isn't that great objectively, when you actually think about it. Infinity war was definitely the far superior film.
@@nerychristian It also gave Tony Stark closure with his Dad which is a huge part of his arc throught the movies
The reason why Thano seems like a complete different guy is because he hasn't experienced the sacrifice he made in infinity war.
Damn that’s true. That makes a lot more sense now
it still makes absolutely no sense for him to change his entire motivation from reducing suffering in the universe to straight up killing every single living thing in the universe. Just because some dudes try to stop him? And he KNOWS FOR A FACT that he beats them and accomplishes his goal in the future? Complete contrived BS
Except in Infinity War killing Gamora had zero change he cried for 5 seconds then he went on like nothing happened ?
@@KyleMacSkill Are you sure, you actually watched infinity war?
@@djantouahmed7319 lol yea I have seen it more than once, he’s sad for five seconds then gets the stone and gets over it immediately lol. then brings up once to Dr. Strange that he has sacrificed more than he could ever imagine. Definitely seemed insincere at the very minimum
Hawkeye has a daughter who at the start is learning to shoot a bow.
Antman has a daughter
Tony Stark has a daughter
Thor passes his crown to Valkyrie
You just know this is a setup for an all female feminist Avengers movie.
Period Synchers ASSEMBLE
Oh god...you don’t think they’d make a joke about them all being “in sync” for fighting and that time of the month do you...? I can see all of the strong wAhMeN lines being written into a script now.
The A team or the A force or something like that 😩
Damn who hurt you guys?? That scene was awesome, but i bet you would like to see more men in movies.
@@acczaigrice9189 More women in tights grappling with one another please!:) Go to a nursing home and see whose working it. Go to a hospital and see whose nursing it. Go to virtually any volunteer organization and see whose doing the lions share. Hate to say it, but if somebody is going to save the world, its not going to be rich white guys. That said, Marvel is late to the womens equality movement and is trying to cram it all in (sorry) with mostly male writers. Even with Black Panther or Wonder Woman, you can almost see the executives in the trailers saying "see.....see, we have women, stop complaining" I watched Infinity War with several women and they had no problem with it, at least for the presence of women, but they thought the movie was stupid:)
There was no enchantment on Thor's Axe. Anyone can pick it up. Odin was the reason Mjolnir could only be lifted by someone worthy of it.
@Conservative Hamster doesn't change it had no enhancement or condition
@Conservative Hamster that is never explained.
@Conservative Hamster um. He controls the fucking weather my dude.
@godtrekYT Jason That's a general comment on weapons from Nidavellir. Specifically Mjolnir is enchanted to only be wielded by those genuinely true of heart and 'worthy'.
@godtrekYT Jason how come cap could hold it then?
When Cap is holding the Hammer, Thor yells, "I knew it." Cap was trying not to show off to everyone in Ultron. He budges Mjolnr and stops on purpose.
YES THANK YOU
They say that, but I don't believe Feige
@@thelingeringdouche822 no cap was always worhty
@@SpaceStrike there was no reason he wouldn't lift the hammer
@@thelingeringdouche822 yes, he didn’t want to show off. If he lifted it thor could feel not special. If he did it thor would be embarrassed
