Avengers 4: Endgame (Joe & Anthony Russo April 26, 2019) Movie • Page 76

If it's been five years since the snap, and the dusted characters didn't age, are half of Peter Parker's friends 22 now while he's 17?

 

Yep

 

Pretty sure they're going with all of Peter's friends/main social group (Ned, MJ, Flash etc.) being snapped too.

 

Them bringing back the snapped people instead of undoing the snap is going to cause a ton of problems

 

Any idea why Cap wasn’t quite worthy in AOU but was worthy now?

 

I feel like he was, but didn't want to make a big deal out of it

 

Because Joss Whedon thought it’d be a funny joke in 2015 and the Russos thought it’d be cool to do in 2019

 

When he shockingly caught Thanos' hand in Infinity War, it proved he had Asgard's ass too.

 

I was having that suspicion too...that he realized he could move it but didn’t wanna embarrass Thor/make a big deal about it so he sandbagged

 

I read someone somewhere saying they thought Capt America could have picked it up back in AoU but chose not to... I can't lie, I've never seen all of AoU before, just bits and pieces.

* Edited to add you all kinda beat me to this.

 

he hadn't told Tony that Bucky killed his parents even though he knew. was probably weighing on him

 

After a second viewing, I’d really like to have the score from the first scene with Tony and Nebula as well as the score from Tony’s funeral.

 

How vital is it that I see Captain Marvel before this?

 

I didn’t see Captain Marvel and since they don’t do anything thematic/narratively driven with her at all in Endgame it probably would have made her very small scenes slightly more enjoyable

 

corpse level vitality

 

You don’t really need to see Captain Marvel before this film. You just need to know she’s strong.

 

Here’s the score for Tony’s funeral

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you!

 

The entire score is on Apple Music. It’s also on Spotify but when I tried playing it yesterday it would skip some songs

 

Been thinking about this film a decent bit this weekend, & honestly I could see it settling higher in my personal MCU ranking than I initially wanted to say. I won't know until I try watching this on my laptop months from now, w/out all the hype. But, something about the feeling of the film just really speaks to me.

Bizarrely, in spite of having the same screenwriters & directors, & filming back to back... This feels like the anti-Infinity War. Like, Infinity War was the closest to Snyder's meaningless jackhammer of Batman v Superman that the MCU will ever have. Meanwhile, Endgame is the closest to Lord & Miller's post-postmodernist love letter of Into the Spider-Verse that it'll ever have.

Funny enough, the MCU film it reminds me of the most is Ragnarok, which is a film that it kinda undermines narratively. Like, I love where all other 5 original Avengers end up, even that polarizing Natasha death, but Thor handing off Asgard to Valkyrie instead of becoming the king Ragnarok set up was lame. I think that's my biggest nitpick. It's the one place where they succumbed to the Marvel temptation of setting up a future story at the detriment of the current story. If James Gunn is really gonna get to play with post-Taika Thor, that's exciting, but it's still a disappointing decision.

Anyways. Don't mind that critical detour. This movie is rad.

 

Thor never wanted the throne. Doesn’t bother me one bit.

 

I'm so glad that Cap said "Avengers Assemble"

 

I want the Wasp to lead the Avengers.

 

I’m sure it’s going to largely be what Guardians 3 is going to be about but I hate losing OG Gamora. If I trusted anyone to understand and care about the weight of the humanity and agency of his characters it’s Gunn but this new Gamora didn’t go through Guardians 1 and 2, so if they try to slide her in smoothly/reset her character I’ll be super disappointed
