Pay closer attention on your second watch. Thor isn’t played for laughs. It’s more a statement on depression.
This is how he’s dealing with it. Him still being worthy is a pretty big statement. Depression isn’t just a quick fix thing and I’m glad that they didn’t just “boom you’re thin again” him.
Never clicked on a video so fast, most anticipated BHL Review
I liked Thor because it makes sense why he came depressed because he failed and lost everything and took the blame. Also it was cool when he killed thanos. But thors mind is kinda messed up and his body too which kinda makes him at his most vulnerable state
I wonder if we'll get some Endgame spin off comic about Steve returning the stones? Be interesting seeing Steve return the Soul Stone and being reunited with the Red Skull.
Thor didn't just "mess up a little bit". He lost EVERYTHING and it was partly his fault that he lost everything. He out of all the characters in the MCU lost the most, and the fat Thor saga "humanized" him.
I loved Thor in Endgame, mostly quz he reminded me of a ancient norse God, He reminded me a bit of Bor, Thors Grandfather which we saw a bit of in the begining of Thor 2. Also I know that as the Norse Gods grow older they become more powerful... Yeah, I loved it!
Agreed he's been dragged to his lowest of lows they can't use anymore pathos they're has to be some humor used and there's actually drama here it's just more underlying here unlike in Infitny War where it's full on drama. That scene where he gets the armor he looked like Odin.
Also depression and that
I know a lot of people are commenting about Thor, but I liked what they did with his character. I agree that he wasn’t really funny, but to me it was him trying to prove himself as still mighty despite failing to defeat Thanos twice and letting it get to him. So when he called Mjolnir, it was more of an emotional moment because he realizes he is still worthy.
Also I will gladly take the Fortnite scene because of Korg.
As soon as I saw the notification I tapped faster than the speed of the quantum realm...
I'll be honest, I didn't think anything of Cap using Mjolnir when Thor summoned it. Lol It dawned on me right when it slowly started moving in the battle with Thanos. Haha One of a few times when I legit lost it in a theatre.
I think the writers and directors masked the Cap/Mjolnir eventual link quite well. I kind of forgot Thor had brought 2013 Mjolnir back with him till he started dual-wielding it with Stormbreaker. I was thinking how cool that was and not about Cap using the hammer. Even when Thanos had Thor at his mercy, and the hammer started moving, there was still a thought that Thor was summoning it.
Lupin788 Exactly. I was like "okay Thor's summoni..(then it dawned on me) HECK YEAH!!!" I usually hate when people cheer during a movie I'm watching, but this time I was one of the crazy fans. Lol
I really loved Thor in endgame. It seemed like a natural continuation of his character and I thought he looked really cool in the final battle, almost like a Viking. I think he’ll be in a better way by GOTG 3. I would say that he seems a whole lot better on a second watching
Yea but what abot TLAT
@@carlosyat8217 at the time of writing this comment Thor 4 wasn’t announced, but we know from set photos that he is in a better, more hemsworth-y shape for that movie.
Yea i know
Yea i know
I think gor the god butcher is gonna be great and having a great actor
11 years of my life into one film marvel really out did themselves 😂.

Oh boy, do I have news for you.
@@doug4431 bruh...😔
@@mathiyanz rip
Pretty much agree with everything, though I'm fine with what they did to Thor, in large part because it makes sense (just think of what happens to highschool sports stars who get run over by real life) and, more importantly, because Hemsworth commits to it and handles it really well. Hemsworth may not be Marvel's MVP, but he's by a long-shot Marvel's Most Improved Player and in a way that's pretty astonishing. Imagine if somebody had said to you in 2012 that when this series of movies "ended," Thor is the one we'd be carrying on with. Then, that'd have been met with sighs and groans; now, it's cool and even a little bit awesome. Go figure.
Three other things:
(1) Tony should've been found by Stallone's Ravagers, not Captain Marvel. She could have gone to pick them up, but he should have found them. Maybe that was the plan, but they couldn't get Stallone for the cameo time-wise, but it would've been sooo much better.
(2) I'm glad they finally gave Frigga (Rene Russo) something to do and that scene is lovely, but I wanted them to do more with it. That is, I wanted two things to emerge from Frigga: (a) that she's not actually his mother, setting up the whole Gaea/Elder Gods sort of thing, but she loved him as her own son; and (b) that Odin did in fact go for the stones, which would explain why he's had so much contact with them over the centuries, but he stopped. Why did he stop? Easy: he went to Vormir and *refused* to make the sacrifice. Odin *walking away* from the power of the universe would've made so much sense and would have cleaned up so much-- about his pre-Hela to post-Hela turn, about his behaviour regarding the stones, about so much. They could have cleaned up the Odin mess so easily, but they didn't. It also would have tipped Thor to worry about what's happening on Vormir and given added dramatic weight to that.
(3) I don't think people adequately appreciate how awesome it is that they got Robert Redford to come back-- in his last film before retiring, no less. If Hollywood has ever had its own Captain America, it was Robert Redford, and it's just so great to have him in the mix here unannounced. Let me say that again: they got Robert Redford, arguably the biggest movie icon of the past fifty years, to do a drive-by. Of the Marvel big-stars, he's the one I expected they'd never get back-- and they did. That's cool cool cool.
Damn, you are hard core. I just saw chubby Thor as a person who was struggling with his God level over confidence. After end game he will never fail to be worthy of mjolnir. He has finally balanced his identity, or mostly, since he is gonna do some traveling, ie soul searching...
@@aprilk141 Not sure if I'm hardcore or not (I don't think so, but who am I to say?), but I have all kinds of ed-and-training in things like dramatics and editing, so I tend to look at a lot of movies with a story-editor's perspective. And, from that perspective, I've held that one of the biggest and most glaring problems the MCU has ever had was its Odin problem. So powerful, yet always so weak; so wise and all-seeing (supposedly), but always so clueless; alternating at will between Best Dad In The Universe and Off-The-Rails Angry Dad. Frigga, I thought, would have been a great means to clean up the Odin mess (and the contrast with Thanos would have been good), but the Gaea bit would also have helped clean up Odin's "no, you're stronger" bit from Ragnarok. But, like I said, it's just the story-editor's perspective. Had I been in the writers's room, I'd have argued vehemently for a few lines from Frigga to address all that. *shrug*
You have very subjective complaints. That speaks well of the movie, I think.
I loved the defeated thor. I think his debacle gives logical and emotional depth to the character. It makes him more human. To some extent, Thor is guilty of the death of half of the living beings in the universe, and that's only after losing his family and most of his friends.
In fact, given the circumstances as a psychologist I would say that Thor is holding it really well.

Negatives: none, it's my favorite movie ever made
I believe the correct term is "Smulk".
People don't understand depression and that's why they didn't like Thor in this movie, I didn't find him funny, it was tragic and sad, all the guilt he felt by failing and not killing Thanos at the end of Infinity War and how much it takes a tole on him to the point where he just drinks his problems away is an amazing arch but he finds out he's still worthy after he talks to his mum and he finally stops drinking. I loved Thor in this movie.
Moonie iLLmatic Thor’s portrayal in Endgame reminded me of Spider-Man in Into The Spider-Verse which is probably my favorite interpretation of the Spider-Man character. Both characters start out having things go there way, saving the world multiple times pretty easily, falling in love, and then they lose close family members and their loved ones over time and slowly lose their passion to be heroes and cope with pain by eating/getting drunk. While I understand why people are upset with this interpretation and we didn’t get the badass in Infinity War, I found this take on Thor really interesting.
Agreed!
Its a brilliant writing trick for an emotion to be played out backwards. Its a show for how human reaction isn't always accurate, Thor is a joke on the surface in this movie. But deeper down it represents exactly what Thor would turn into.
If it's so tragic then thor shouldn't be comedic relief and he's also a god so doubt his metabolism would fail after thousands of years .
@@manuelmendez6022 its not comedic relief. Its depression shown through comedy. The comedy sticks in your mind and then the more the mind thinks of the joke, the more the mind realizes the sadness of it. Its a trick.
i adored Endgame its tied with Logan,Infinity War and Spider-Verse for my favorite superhero movie it gets a 10/10
How so, with Logan? Did I miss something?
@@davidsirmons He means it's as good as Logan.
Agreed
Dude, we're on the same wave length with Endgame. Steve's character arc payoff, didn't cry the first time when expecting to, Thor's character arc, being semi weirded out by Hulk's part, the musical cues for certain characters, noticing stuff a second time through, and tearing up more. Almost exact same experience verbatim.
He didn’t cry, he’s a robot!!
Finally after 5 years
Get it
17:17 They also used the Captain Marvel theme when she flew into the final battle. Also, I agree. I was hoping Alan Silvestri would do something like that because I do enjoy the MCU themes.
When it’s a 4am in Vegas but I don’t care ITS BHL HUDSON! Hopefully you’ve been okay man! Love you 3000!
No homo
I got really excited when i saw you uploaded this review. And i got even more excited when i realized it was almost half an hour long!
I'd glad you posted, I waded through many reviews looking for yours
Tony Stark / Iron Man is my favorite character in the entire MCU. No one else is even a distant second, even though I appreciate all the other characters.
I see this being the best 27 minutes and 13 seconds of today.
just saw yesterday and didn't see any spoilers either. Well done to all fans for this.
10/10 Both Avengers Infinity War & Avengers Endgame Tied For 1st Place In My Ranking
yas thank you for uploading very anticipated
Been waiting for your review 😂😂😂
13:12 did we though, did we, i didn't
Great review, glad you got as much out of it as I did
Been waiting forever man!!! Commenting before even watching.
Good to have you back
Everything in this movie was great, but what I really wanted to see was Hulk get his Revenge against Thanos and sadly that never happened 😭
the clint and t'challa communication (the passing on of the gauntlet) I noticed too.
Even though it took a while for him to upload his review I'm glad he didn't rush it out for the people are just saw endgame 😅.
You're a better man then me. I cried my eyes out when Stark Died!!! Especially when Peter Parker talks to him. I even let off a few tears when Tony saw that Peter was back and was just like relieved and hugged him!!! And honestly I hated what they did to Thor, except his reunion with his mom. I really enjoyed that
I've seen the movie twice and it was awesome and Marvelous the 2nd time I watched it. And now it's one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
I was honestly more excited for this video than Endgame itself
Oh I’ve been waiting for this.
I love this movie. 9.8/10 for me. The beginning was a little weird but I dug it the second time around. I was fine with Thor I laughed most of the time and I loved the Fortnite Joke, I was fine with it and then he summoned Both weapons and then I was sold. Tony was the best character in the movie. I thought Hulk was a little weird but after he met Thor I was sold on it. I loved Nat and Clint and I wished we got a bit more. I think the final battle could have been a tad better but still best and most epic finale ever. I'm fine with all the plot holes but I think some they could have addressed easily.
Been waiting for this review.
Okay this is going to be a lengthy one: While this movie might not ve 100% perfect, almost no movie is it's the closest thing to being flawless. The movie was an epic and emotinal masterpeice, never have I felt this emotinal in a comicbook movie since Logan; nor have been this satisfied with a finale of a saga like I was here with Endgame, perfect wrap to 11 years and 22 movies of storytelling that I grew up with for all these years and sets up the next generation of characters and stories perfectly. I agree that I'd totally be fine if this was the last MCU movie.
When I watched the movie and then you announced this video I kind of saw the complaints you mentioned coming and I do agree with some of them, for me it was the closest thing to perfection and not only the best MCU movie, but also it's in the top 3 best comicbook movies of all time my only major flaw with the movie is the handling of Thanos (the 2014 version he felt a bit two dimensional and I think they should've stuck with the far superior and more complex present-day Thanos, I really think killing him off at the beggining, despite adding to the shock factor and sadness and desperation of the situation, was a big mistake as we were left with this past version that is less layered and is more like Apocalypse from X-Men: Apocalypse) and the fact that Black Widow's death could have been more narrtively impactful (that's mainly fault of Marvel still not giving her a solo movie until now hence she never really got an arc) the other flaws are just small nitpicks and small logical inconsistencies that don't detract from any of my movie experinces. It was seriously the most perfect ending to any saga in my opinion. Me and my friend agreed that the Stark/Nebula scenes are some of the best scenes in the film and I disagree that Captain Marvel part was an du ex machine element. The performances were just amazing, Chris Evans and RDJ deliver their best performances (what they do with Cap makes me so happy as someone who considers him as the best MCU character) and the way their arcs wrap up here (with the movie ending with Cap getting his dance and Tony making the ultimate sacrfice) is very emotional and poetic and calls back to their journey in the MCU so far amazingly, it's the perfect conclusion to the story of these two MCU veterans; I'd defintely be behind RDJ getting a best actor nomination because I didn't get this emotional with a comicbook performance since Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in Logan; same goes for Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner, especially in the Vormir scenes, she really sold the depression she was going through and he sold the pain he was going through, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth's performances are also excellent; at first I didn't really like fat Thor but it's an arc that improves the more you think about it and rewatch it, the arc and the performance are actually brilliant because even though on the surface it seemed like it's all comedy, it's actually a coping mechanism the drama is there it's just more underlying here unlike Infinty War and if you focus you could see it, both through the performance and the writing he actually gets an arc in this one (him giving Asgard to Valkyrie is one of the most responsible things he did in the last few movies) and that scene with his mother was very heartwarming but sad at the same time. Paul Rudd was also very and I also loved the emotinal scene he gets with his daughter is very heartwarming which he pulls off fantistically. As for Proff Hulk I really liked this iteration and would like to see more of it. The 3rd act was the best final battle and hour in any movie ever period just every comicbook fan's dream it was pure fan-service, but the fan-service was earned and it came with heart and logic. As for the plot, I thought it was one of the best and most intense in the MCU and I actually disagree that the time travel should have been like Back to the Future becuase that would have been even more confusing and would've retoconned a bunch of MCU movies, the second act payed off many plot points in the MCU and gave resolution to many loose threads like Tony and his father.
Oh and also the score is the best in the MCU, it's so beautiful, it gets me emotional just listening to it; kudos to Alan Selvestri for not only creating the score here, but one of the most iconic theme songs of recent memory with the Avengers theme. All in all the Russos and Christopher Markus and Stephen Mcfeely directed and wrote the hell out of this movie, it's really an achivement and a feat what this team, Kevin Feige, and the entirety of Marvel did with Infinity War and Endgame and the entirety of the MCU and am so glad that I could say that I was part of this cenimatic experiment.
How did this essay “comment” not have any likes or replies
@@t0fu27 Lmao, this is probably the longest comment I'd ever written.
Top 10 most anticipated moments of 2019, number one:
It’s FINALLY HERE
Finally!! You reviewed Endgame!!
Yes finally here
I can confirm about not tearing up the first time watching it. 2nd time made me tear up multiple times
Honestly I didn’t cry when I Iron Man die, I think Hawkeye did a great job and ant man did a great job.
Adam warlock is how you handle the power dynamic
In my first viewing I cried so hard. When Natasha died of course. And the portals scene made my tear jerk so much I almost died.
Oh my god it’s out YES!
Also the brutal fighting scene with Hakeye it kind of reminds me of Deadpool action
13:43 We know this already, you did not have to tell us Chadwick
It has arrived

I've seen this move almost 300 times love ot
This is easily my favorite MCU film and my favorite film of 2019 so far. It'll be hard for other movies this year to top this for me, but I'm hoping.
Natasha broke my heart. And seeing Pepper in armor on the final battlefield....I have to say this....I felt an actual bodywide ecstasy....my breath was taken away from me, seeing that. A woman, making a stand FOR THE MAN SHE LOVES, who KNOWS that HER MAN LOVES HER. She was there for *him* and for *their family,* not to make a big "girl power" statement, not to soapbox about feminine strength, but because of LOVE. Especially in this age where so many whiny voices are decrying men and manhood generally.
I thought what made Infinity War better imo, was prolly the interaction between all group of heroes. The action was just simply better and more comic book like action, and infinity stones being used. I was hoping Thanos got the gauntlet during the final battle, to just use the stones for their powers and not just to simply snap his fingers... I'm just a casual marvel fan, but endgame was not bad at all
Probably too powerful... They can destroy half of life in the universe, he did use the power stone vs Captain marvel though
Finally!
I will admit I cried a few times during this movie ... I’ve only seen it once, however my favorite characters are Tony Stark & Natasha Rominoff. When I had heard that RDJ got cast as Tony Stark I was surprised mainly due to his lifestyle being so chaotic at times ... I’ve been a fan of his for decades. My husband got all the comics so I had to really go through my memories of Tony Stark in the comics. If I get asked about my favorite movie I’ve been saying Ironman, now it’s Endgame and if the Russo’s don’t get the Oscar for best Director I will be unhappy with the Academy’s decision. I have already placed my pre-order on Amazon.
I’m surprised and disappointed that you didn’t include Wanda Maximoff’s battle with Thanos in here.
Also, Thor considers himself to be the strongest avenger. He took a giant risk in getting the stormbreaker. Thanos collected the final infinity stone and when all hope was lost, Thor came expected to save the day. He didn’t mess up a little.. to him, he ruined the entire world. Half of the entire world was wiped out. He felt defeated and fell into a depression. The little jokes and laughs he did weren’t meant to be necessarily funny, people cover up their sadness with fake smiles and fake laughter. His world is crushed. I think his change was extremely realistic. I feel bad for him.
The line that got me was the cheeseburgers. I’ve never cried at a movie but that bit almost got me
Good review man
Since you like movies so Much I definetely recommend making a letterboxd account to keep track of what you are watching, make lists and write reviews! Keep up the good work! 😃
I got so excited when this notification popped up
What are your thoughts on the it chapter 2 traller
Yes
Hulk movie where he becomes professor hulk? Universal, give marvel the rights like Sony and Spiderman, please 🙏!
bhl are you going to make 'which comic book movie was the best in 2019 when the year is over. I really liked the style of your first three in that series and was a bit dissapointed in 2017 where you changed that style and in 2018 where there was no video at all
Great review! Will you get letterboxd?
What are your thoughts on the childs play remake
Tbh every time Thor changes his look, I don’t like it at first 😂 then I warm up to it, but something about this version of Thor doesn’t click for me. I think his look and demeanor in Infinity War was perfect, and the beginning of this film was too. But his big Lebowski look was funny, but it overstayed it’s welcome. His beard makes him look chunky and not at all the towering Thor from Infinity War, it was too soon to change his look 😭
What if during the final Battle while they're running at the outriders if it just said to be continued. And then 3 months later they just release a 12 min video of that battle
But with another 2 hour setup
Yeah it could be called Avengers V Thanos The Final Fight or something
Great video!
seen it twice still amazing
1.Captain America
2.Iron Man
3.Black Widow
4.Thor
5.Hawkeye
6.Nebula
I disagree, if you have lost everything you’d not just retain to your normal self after a little nudge, he is very human in character and his depression was extremely immersive to me. I really loved the direction they put him in because of his emotional impact.
When I saw the first 3 trailers, I wasn’t that excited for endgame, but 12 trailers later and watching the movie, and just seeing the final battle..... I was fricking shocked how good the movie was
Please do your final MCU timeline update.
You couldn’t be more wrong about Thor..his PTSD arc is gut wrenching and not played for laughs
The sad thing is that people who made this movie already know what’s gonna happen so it won’t be as fun watching it in the cinemas
Err what about the captain America theme when he gets his shield back
Great vid. I probably preferred Infinity War to this just because I didn’t really like what they did with Thanos in Endgame, but it all kinda comes down to personal preference. You should review Detective Pikachu if you get the chance!
If Tony Stark would have put wi-fi or bluetooth on the Iron Man Guantlet, Tony Stark could have done his snap remotely & he would have survived.
Finally
Some of the comedy scenes make sense bc most of the movie is taking place 5 years later. After 5 years, not all ppl would still be constantly depressed. Some ppl would eventually move on and it would become normal life. So Thor being fat is kinda legit. Hulk being funny and acting like a celebrity would probably happen. First time seeing it, I thought it was a lil too much. But second time around I thought it fit well and made sense. But I tend to agree for an all time epic movie, seriousness makes it more of an all time great movie, and the corny jokes make it seem very Disney
I'm not an MCU fan but I still got everything.
YES BRO HOW DID I JUST SEE THIS
I liked the Cap and Mjolnir moment. I liked the call back to AOU, but I don't think he became worthy till after Civil War.
Sam should be in the next F-Zero game.. ;)
Captain America + Falcon = Captain Falcon
I had almost missed it i was just contemplating the movie and i remembered bhl... lol. 2 days late
I’m trying to think if things that I really didn’t like or bothered me even a little bit but honestly I can’t find any.. maybe I’m biased but I’m sure if it was bad I would’ve hated it and expressed that but seriously to me it was perfect. Maybe some jokes went for a bit too long but I forgot about them immediately due to the awesomeness this movie was.. I didn’t mind Thor at all I thought it was interesting seeing him dealing with a traumatic experience and having panic attacks.. I wouldn’t have expected such thing and I love how unpredictable that was and how bold of a choice it was! And I cried for like 20 minuets straight (probably it was 5 minuets but it felt more lol)
"late"
Dude it hasn't even been a month.
So did I, it’s pretty awesome, I enjoyed infinity war but I love this one more
I loved Avengers endgame and I really like this review
Avengers Endgame:
Vision: AM I A JOKE TO YOU!?
Man that haircut actually looks good
