#AvengersEndgame
It honestly didn’t feel like 3 hours every scene was amazing
Jjj Fastest 3 hours of my life
Surprised by the comedy, especially when they stretched some jokes for greater effect
ive watched it 5 times now and it doesnt slow down
It felt like a hour to be honest and that's just a testament to how good their storytelling is.
true lmao, thats what i was thinking
Congrats Marvel on a tremendous film.
I love you 3000.
Damn I only got an I love you 600-900
Y’all already played this out.
667th like-had to change it
What is this 3000?
They should write a book on creating these films. Or one of online expert courses or something.
Yeah, they should make one for www.masterclass.com/
ha! cause here I'd also just been thinking and was coming down to comment, while the two styles are vastly different, the Russo bros kind of feel like to me a comedy and/or blockbuster version of David Fincher. Just in so much as that Fincher has always very friendly and engaging while willing to talk so much and openly the craft, the business, and his stuff. He also from fairly early on in his career was always trying to make sure like a special edition DVD of a film of his (now more so blu-ray) was packed to the gills with bonus materials.
the Russos, not only are Arrested Development and Community like religious texts to me lol... but okay obviously have now made 4 of some of the best of all the MCU movies, AAAAAND I was liking their stuff before I even realized it was theirs I was liking. I haven't watched "Welcome To Collinwood" in a long time, but I remember pretty much digging it when I first saw it.
Marvel: Avengers Endgame: 3hrs runtime feels like an hour
DC: Batman V Superman: 3 hrs runtime feels like forever
this is so true
Honest to god I was ready to leave the theater after 30 minutes of BvS even though I was hyped and giddy beyond belief.
This feels like an hour and a half. I've seen 2 hour moviee that feel way longer.
although ironically, while I felt overall it was still ultimately an at best rather mediocre film, after I watched that longer "directors cut" I did feel like technically it "improved" it. I mean we're talking going from like a 4 out of 10 to a 5.5 - 6 out of 10, but still.
Man.. They did one HECK of a job.. I seriously dont have any words to express What I feel inside. Its mind blowing.. beyond excellence. Truly. R.I.P. stanlee and all the other MCU Avengers 😥
No intermission needed! Those 3 hours flew by so fast!
It was amazing! Absolutely loved it despite crying throughout the entire 3 hours! ♥️😭
For the idiots on the internet who spoiled it for me and so many others, shame on you! 😩😭
@Ian Wilson I appreciate that, thanks. 🙂
I’m sorry some assbag spoiled it. Glad it still hit home for you!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried my way thru just about the whole movie!
Yeah the end of the final fight scene was ruined for me because of the thumbnail in a youtube video that just randomly showed up on top of my recommendations
I mean that’s why I stayed off the internet tbh
I knew Thanos would be dead in the end game. But Avengers killed him twice. TWICE..!!!..What could be more satisfying.
I absolutely love this idea of a 10 year adventure of Marvel movies. People at my school kept laughing at me, talking about how I cried during Tony’s death. These Characters had an impact on my life, and everyone else’s. We’ve grown to love these guys so much, to the extent where we ball our eyes out when they die. Some people say their done with the MCU after EndGame which makes no sense to me. There’s hundreds for issues for “The New Avengers” and issues for the old Avengers that Marvel and Disney can go off of or make their own. Who knows maybe these new Avengers are gonna be just as loved as the old ones. When they die we’ll be crying there too. This may be the end for the Avengers but this sure as hell ain’t the end for marvel. Let’s Welcome these New Age of Superhero’s into the MCU with pride and joy. I love You 3000 MARVEL!🥳❤️❤️
Who laughed at you was probably cried on some netflix anime adaptation so don't worry bro we all cried...
I saw it twice and I think I cried more when I knew what was coming. ESPECIALLY I love you 3,000. Get some new friends! hahaha
@@bardknight trust me ive watched it 5 times and it makes me cry every time, the premiere was awesome everyone was clapping and crying, what an experience
Dude spoiler
Kids are fucking heartless assholes. Don't listen to them. Your obviously a more mature young adult. They are still struggling with their own identity. They aren't comfortable in their own skin enough to admit they are human and crying is something that celebrates that
I just saw it and was extremely blown away. Most of all I was just SO pleased with how they ended it. I remember seeing the first Iron Man in the theater and how those movies affected my childhood... I saw it when I was 8, now I'm 19 and I was pretty emotional leaving the theater. It's really amazing what they've accomplished and how they've affected so many people's lives. Amazing artists.
Russos, we love you 3000!!!
These two are already some of the best directors working out there. If they don't get an Oscar for Endgame, they will for something else in the future, they have a lot of great projects ahead.
21 Bridges looks really good
@@dgames8900 You saw the trailer too😍OH MAN THAT SHIT IS🔥
Name me one good movie made by them that's unrelated to Marvel.
@@antona.8659 Wtf He said 'The Russo Bros have potential of making good movies in the future because of their directing talents for the Captain America & The Avengers movies' you idiot🤦
@@antona.8659 What, marvel movies don't count as movies?
People think too much into time travel now. We have to remind ourselves ... it well never be possible. So why not just have fun with it? Endgame was a brilliant movie. Even Back to the Future had plot holes but people love it. This film was brilliant.... stop trying to pick holes in it and enjoy it. The Russos have made four of the best MCU movies and this one was sensational. Just enjoy it.
except there are no plot holes as far as I've known MARVEL, these "plot holes" people nit picks are more likely "unanswered plots". If you think any plot hole in MCU movies, you know it will be answered or concluded in future movies.
@@kenjong1465 True. Everytime people say there are plotholes in Endgame, I'd be like, what are they, tell me. I'll answer them in 20 seconds or less.
@@_91K_ yep, of course they want to leave things for us to theorize about. It is more like a setup for them to execute what they want to in future films
@@_91K_ Old Cap being on the bench at the end doesn't line up with any of the rules that they said at the beginning of the film. He should have been a totally different branch of the timeline.
@@joshn1678 I'm pretty sure that Cap had help...the Ancient One, who just got back the Time Stone and never gave two shits about breaking rules for what she deemed a good reason.
When I first watched it, I have to admit, I was bit disappointed. The more I think about this movie though, the better it gets. Now I'm absolutely in love with what Russo Brothers have done.
It gets better with rewatch..
How the fuck did you think it was disappointing?
HellaBlazedCat thank you. idk how people think this movie was disappointing
HellaBlazedCat I think coming off of Infinity War, which was a head to toe action roller coaster, some people (not me!!!) weren’t hoping for something this character driven and wanted more constant action. I think they’ll realize as time goes by though that this movie was exactly what it should have been
I found it disappointing in Tony Stark not getting the retirement he deserved
Thank you, Variety! Loved the actor interviews but it’s wonderful to hear from the geniuses behind it, too.
Felt like 1 hour. I almost wish it was longer
I swear this movie felt like it was only 2 hours, 2 hour 30 minutes max!!! That's a huge compliment for a 3 hour film in my opinion!
I love Joe's cameos in all the Marvel movies the Russo's directed. He can try some more acting in small parts in the future, he's good.
Fun fact about Joe's cameo in Endgame: the bald guy with the glasses and beard in the support group scene is Jim Starlin, creator of Thanos, Drax and Gamora and writer of The Infinity Gauntlet storyline.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Yes, I saw him too, I was like "yes, Thanos dad, the responsible for all of this mess" hahaha! I mentioned Joe's cameo because his speech was moving while Jim just sat there listening.
Joe Russo & Jon Favearu's screen appearnce are amazing to watch from these two talented bastard😍
well back when the Russo boys were just a couple punks knocking around Cleveland, Joe had actually pretty much been aspiring to be an actor almost as much as to be a director. Anthony was really only ever interested in basically sticking to being behind the camera. And considering how we've seen their personalities manifest in public now these last few years, holy shit does that make soooooooo much sense lol
@@johnathonhaney8291 Honestly I was kind of stunned when I first learned just a couple years back now how relatively close it's been in the recent past that the character of Thanos was initially created. long before I even then learned Starlin's name, but just with everything I was beginning to hear about the villain, I was totally expecting that his stories went back many decades into Marvel's history on the page.
Congrats on making the last 11 years filled with MARVEL! Glad I made it. I almost died in the hospital before Ragnorok came out. I wasn't sure if I would make it, but I did. Thank you Marvel!
Just saw it. Great movie.
This movie deserves Oscar's all around. Scarjo/RDJ best actress/ best actor. You guy's are the best. 💯%❤U.
It somehow didn't feel like 3 hours at all. I remember checking the time at one point, and it was exactly 2 hours in. I was shocked, because I honestly thought there was at least 2 hours left. I was never once tempted to go the bathroom, and the only reason I even checked the time once was because I didn't want it to end and I wanted to know how much longer I had left. Going to see it again today and can't wait.
its funny because we did have an intermission lol because of a tornado warning in the middle of endgame they paused it until it passed (also the power went out and they had to restart the imax projector)
After watching it on the 26th, I can definitely say you won't notice it as 3 hours. Almost as if it went by fairly quickly.
I hope stan got to see this movie before he passed.
He did not , sadly
This is one of the things that broke my heart the most about all this. We've all known over the last couple years Stan was not long for this world (last several, really), and knowing we were THIIIIIIIS CLOSE to the proverbial "ending" (obviously the MCU will still continue to exist for a long time) but of seeing this unprecedented decade-long adaptation of your greatest life's work, I kept saying the last couple years, "just please let him hang in long enough to see the true, proper finish, to see End Game".
But yeah I recall right in the time shortly before Stan died, the Russos had remarked publicly a couple times they were just about halfway thru post-production on End Game (still then just "Untitled Avengers"). So I mean that was like not even having the most basic of all the editing done so far, not just unfinished VFX shots and a temp score or something. So there wasn't even the most roughest cut of a 'rough cut' they could've possibly been able to show him before he passed :-(
Congrats Marvel, Kevin Feige, and The Russos for this crafting this near-perfect phenomenal movie. Never felt like the film was 3hrs evety scene added something to the plot, not one scene felt unimportant.
I'm all for diversification, but don't make that the character's "superpower", they still need to have a good storyline.
Every movie they have done has been my favorite. I really hope they decide to make another movie.
So Collinwood and You, Me and Dupree are one of your favorite movies?
One saddest news I've heard this past week. The Russo Brothers currently don't have any plans to do anymore movies with Marvel. It's amazing what they've managed to do with Infinity War and Endgame. These guys are legends in my book.
Kaiju Hanta they said *for now* so basically theyre taking a small break and come back on later marvel movies
These two look like the brothers from "From Dusk Til Dawn"
There will be a possibility that the highest growing film ever will be under their names.......
Anthony rode his Harley to the interview
Joe must have re-watched Age of Ultron and saw the party/hammer scene and was like.... I have an idea.
"There was an idea to bring back a remarkable scene"-Nick Fury
To me as a Star Wars fan The Empire Strikes Back always had the most impressive pacing for a movie with that runtime . . . that’s until I saw Endgame when 3 hours has never gone by faster for me. Amazing work once again Joe and Anthony.
Maybe they weren't thinking about the future, but they left the door open for a lot of second generation heroes.
Marvel seriously needs to back up a dump truck of money and offer these guys. They’re the best directors in the MCU and every single movie they have made have been so god damn emotional.
can’t wait for “Cherry” I’m intrigued cause Tom Holland would play an opioid addict and a veteran! yes!
Wait wait......! What?!?!?!?! Iron man was the villain in civil war? Whaaaaaaaaaa? Never thought about it that way but wow! That's cool to know, I mean I know he was kinda wrong about the whole thing but I guess that's what happens when you put two creative people working together. And boom! Things happened! I was on cap side of things all the way but I didn't look at iron man as the villain like the Russo's did in their heads making the movie.
I think Capt America was wrong
4:27 oh comn guys, be honest, the real answer is MONEY, truckloads of it
Josip Erak the same question for you: why are you even working?
I feel like the interviewer every time he would ask a question is like he is about to sing "What A Wonderful World"
Long may Marvel reign for another 3,000 years.
What a film. Amazing to hear some of the thought processes and planning that’s gone into everything.
Marvel is killing it! #Russobrothers
I hope to also see an interview with Marcus and McFeely, Opaloch, and Sarah Finn.
They are the first directors to have three 1billion dollar movies
Wrong, Steven Spielberg directed more than three movies that grossed over billion. Including Transformers series and Jurassic Park series.
"Directors"
@@723-1A he didnt direct transformers u idiot he was an executive producer. As for jurrasic world only the first one made a billion (with re-release) which he directed.
Joe almost never let Anthony speaks lol
Official Leotique. I love how Anthony looks like he’s listening to every word Joe says as if he’s hearing it for the first time.
I want to find a girl that looks at me the same way these two look at each other when one talks.
I notice that too.
“You don’t cross that bridge until you get there”
Brilliant hatsoff the two directors
....from a big fan from INDIA 🇮🇳
1:34 the other brother sitting there thinking 'Oh so that's what it was about, never knew that'.
the only thing i wish to be included in the Post-Credit scene is that _Death_ will show up being mad and pissed off because of Thanos' death.
_just saying_
I really hope they come back to direct a solo Winter Soldier movie. That's all I want in life.
I really like his interviews, he asks all the interesting questions we all wanna now and he is really charismatic.
Rían Johnson needs to pay attention from 00:23 to 00:40
These are the same guys, who thought revealing bucky as winter soldier is a suprise for fans.
The Russo brothers and the writers of endgame see held in the most elite regard to me I think they may have even surpassed vince gilligan (writer of breaking bad)
Who is hulk gunna fight? Answer: no one
best directors in the game right now
What good movie they have made that doesn't involve people wearing capes?
@@antona.8659 That doesn't discredit what theyve done, this is the most popular genre right now, it would be stupid of them not to capitalise on it.
@@zack7438, very cool, but the best directors are usually the best for being able to have a solid resume of films that exist outside of one franchise. Tarantino, Nolan, Anderson, you name it. They are great for having a solid filmography consisting of various films. I'd i instead compare Russos to the Wachowkis.
Anton A. You just have an old fashioned ideology that superhero movies can’t be “good” movies even if they have better characters and acting than many traditional films.
if your 3 hour movie feels like a 1 hour one, you can be sure you did an AMAZING job.
and that last battle scene, holy fucking shit
I was devastated when it got ruined for me, one tweet really ruined 10 years of build up although when I saw it, I still felt like I experienced it just as it wasn’t spoiled because every scene was just on point
Kudos to you guys for having such a positive impact on pop culture. They both talk so intelligently about the process of filmmaking and how these movies were brought to life with such care, attention and respect for the audience and fanbase alike. A great achievement.
DC head honcho is watching this probably taking notes lol
What about the last ten dc movies makes u think that they would give that much effort
Diego Delgado not sure lol. I saw Shazam and really enjoyed it. Before that the last movie I saw was JL. So big step up lol. If they just focus on characters and stop forcing world building they'd have a gold mine
Arnold Eli I was pretty much talking about how the Russo Brothers were talking about making a universe and stuff like that. DC hasn’t really got that part down
Bring them back for Secret Wars.
they've actually already stated a few different times now over the last few months that Marvel deciding to adapt that would be the thing that would most likely bring them back to the studio for one more go round :)
Mind you, between how far away Kevin Feige would be realistically lining that up, and how the Russos themselves are much looking forward to their next several projects being completely different than their previous decade, we're talking not for another like 7-8 years, AT LEAST.
When’s the RDJ interview happening haha
Petition to make RDJ do cameos in every upcoming MCU movie and invite him at every premiere.
LIKE TO SIGN
Silvia Sfriso No iron man is dead and should stay that way. They gave him an amazing character arc over the last 11 years and bringing him back would just cheapen the impact of his arc
@@mitchellp7739 I totally get what you are saying and agree too, but it wouldn't be the same thing if he was in disguise or something with a 3 seconds cameo. like stan lee started marvel, it is all because of the iron man movies that we have the MCU so making RDJ do cameos would be a great homage to his character and the legacy in my opinion
Silvia Sfriso I disagree. Stan lee could play any character as a cameo but RDJ would instantly be seen as iron man and it wouldn’t work. People always want to ruin perfect endings for characters just because they can’t ever let go and move on. There are 11 years of movies that pay homage to RDJ
The only thing I wish they had done differently would have been to give Cap a true standalone third film instead of Civil War (Avengers 2.5).
How cool would it be for caps last movie to be returning all the stones and how he runs into problems doing so
This two guys deserve a Oscar
Let me ask you guys this. If somebody said to you “as a Cap America fan, I’ve never been happier......... and I am iron man” would that quote have spoiled it for you? Because that’s what I saw before the movie, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all
I hope I get to work with these guys in the future.
Marvel should make an Avengers chapter book
Their hand gestures 😂
Give that man a cough drop!!
I’ve never seen this video til now. This is a GREAT interview!!
If Brie wants to push the incorporation of LGBT (I’m probably missing letters) into the movies, that’s fine, but she should start that movement. Made Carol gay/bi. Or Valkyrie as her character had in the comics.
But if you bring in new characters into the MCU, like Wolverine or Beta Ray Bill and make them gay or trans, you’re going to piss off the majority of your audience, alienate them, and you’ll see the demise of this franchise.
Not because they’re gay but because you’re changing the attributes of the characters that have been long standing in the comics just to please a handful of people that complain about the lack of their portrayal in movies.
Notice I’m strictly mentioning those that complain. I know a number of gay and lesbian people who are fed up with the activist LGBT people constantly complaining for recognition and entitlement when they feel things are fine just as they are.
These guys better get to direct Fantastic Four and Avengers vs X-MEN there amazing and made the 2 best movies in the entire franchise. Civil War and Endgame.
Movie felt like 1 hour and 30 minutes
I litterally felt the play time. My butt was losing circulation after 2 and a half hours. but the pacing was great.
totally awesome movie! thank you Russo brothers!
The Russo bros made the MCU what it is. Hope marvel can bring in talent equivalent to their vision and consistency. There was marked improvement after 2014’s Winter Soldier.
I think diversity should be brought in when it is needed, for some diversity kills things, if you purposely add something for the sake of adding something it never goes into the mix
well they sure didn't think about the future of the MCU after endgame because the snap and the five years later sure has many implications in how the world works and i lose my mind trying to understand how it all goes down from now on ;-; great job!!!
What's with the constant static noise in the background?
Thanos shouldve used the stones more in the end
these guys are geniuses
Dude, I actually really like the questions this guy asks.
Loved the movie but I feel they totally messed up with Thor and Thanos
dan solo and hulk
Such cool guys. I'd love to hang out with them.
I heard it every time he put his hand on the table
Marvel fans: Thank you guys, we are gonna be fine.
It's amazing these guys haven't succumbed to the swarms of yes-men they gave accumulated now. Somehow they keep making one amazing film after another (wasn't a fan of Civil War, tbh, but everything else). Fantastic work!
I LOVED the movie. But isn't Cap's time travel scene at the end a pothole? Like, he went back and changed history by staying with Peggy and yet was in the same universe as the current Avengers?
Why didnt you ask if they knew whom of the cast was a stripper?
Chris Pratt is listening
What??
Thank you Russo Brothers for your dedication to this movie and previous movies! I’ll be sure to send my therapy bills to you. #iloveyou3000
“What a wonderful worldddd.....”
I’m just sad there wasn’t more Stan Lee
Stop hitting the table, Joe!
Honestly though every times someone mentioned about PC/diversity/representation etc I don't really care I mean sure it's a bonus but as long they give me a compelling story, character arc and a good movie I'm good.
I dont know why there are scumbags that love to spoil the film for people.
Russos brothers hands down are the best directors we have in the industries right now
You said in a past interview you laid the seed of an Easter egg that would be huge in civil war.. was Bucky ever going to helm the mantle of captain America?
No. He killed Howard Stark - he was never going to be given the shield. That makes no sense. Only his fan boys get to that - by ignoring the actual story.
@@summertyme5748 a very valid point that I myself was preaching to my friends who hurt their butts thinking about it. Just to raise doubt. Killed Caps old chum buddy Howard. and Still! He concluded helping his friend took precedence over his not only moral obligation to tell Tony(his new chum who suggested in A1 that shield wasn't telling the whole truth. Little did they know. Entrusting Tony as a side thing always looking for Buck, he eventually deceived and betrayed his obligations as a friend by keeping something so personal from him and tag team beating his ass when he found out, letting the bad guy loose. Basically saying he made it clear he chose him once in worse conditions. Now with help from the princess, he no longer has that programming. I don't think you can justifiably come down on me just for asking a question. Maybe they had it going to barns but considered everything+ decided to go a different route?? We don't know, "only a fool is certain" as dude said. Even mathematical theory changes, won't you please change your mind and be open to the possibilities? :)
@@summertyme5748 what? Oh. Nvm, I thought you said something😉
7:12 Fuccckkk Nooo
We love you 3000 as well...
