If Gunn hadn't been reinstated, losing Gamora what felt like 2/3 of the way through her story w/ Peter would've wrecked my excitement for the film. But, yeah, I currently trust Gunn to make a really strong third film that makes the most of that decision. I am at least happy that Nebula is still in the mix. More than Quill, I wanna see how she interacts w/ new Gamora after that Guardians 2 arc.
Just got out of seeing it the second time. Loved the little interaction of Peter holding onto the gauntlet and Captain Marvel. “I’m Peter Parker.” “Hi...Peter Parker (smirks)”
I wouldn't say it's vital but without it, it does kind of seem like she comes out of nowhere and you don't really now why she's as powerful as she is. I also just realized that her post-credit scene doesn't actaully line up with her appearance in the movie lol
I know we all knew this movie was going to do MASSIVE numbers at the box office this weekend, but even still, these numbers are absolutely astounding. It's staggering really for a movie that's only been out 3 (or 4) days.
This was great. I loved the individual character moments a lot and the final battle when the portals started opening was a real treat. I think Infinity War is a better movie overall but this was a fitting end to the Last decade of movies.
Well I think she gets the page, goes back to the Avengers in the post credit scene, and then you can fill in the gap and assume they told her to go find Tony. Unless you mean something else.
One of the people I saw it with said afterwards that Brie wasn't as good in Endgame as she was in Captain Marvel and I wanted to say, "Brie is perfection, how dare you," but since I'm not super close to this person all I actually did was gasp very loudly. Also I think Brie mentioned on Fallon that they shot this before Captain Marvel, so it makes sense that she doesn't have a good sense of the character yet.
the cap using mjolnir thing is dumb, but at least mildly understandable given the canon of the movies. him channeling lightning is fucking baffling and absurd lol.
Why is it baffling? They set up in Thor one that whoever be worthy to lift the hammer will have the power of Thor.
I wrote this up 20 minutes before the movie started. Last minutes predictions... -Cap and Tony die together by the end. Sacrificing themselves to bring those lost back. -Captain Marvel dies in the first 30 minutes or so. -Thor kills Thanos. This time he goes for the head. -There is some sort of time travel with the Avengers via the quantum realm and the time vortexes Janet warned Scott about in the Ant-Man and the Wasp MOF credits scene. -my mind is blown and I get most of this wrong.
This was like the safest possible move narratively and it flies in the face of so much of the thematics built through most of the MCU but it's certainly entertaining spectacle.
Saw this with my wife who is a huge mcu fan whereas I've seen five of the movies before this. The first two hours we're a slog for me probably because I'm just not invested in the characters. Paul Rudd is a treasure though.
This also has the number one IMAX opening weekend with $91.5 million. The previous holder of that title was The Force Awakens with $48 million. That’s insane.
It legit broke every opening day and weekend record also set new highs for Saturday and Sunday and fastest to 100 million 150 million 200 million 250 million 300 million and 350 million. It crushed force awakens by a mile. If it keeps this up this week and next it’s gonna do massive damage it just sucks 2 other blockbuster movies come out the 10th and 17th
Back when I first picked up a Marvel comic; I never thought I'd see the likes of Iron Man fight beside, say, Okoye. It still blows my mind that has been such a global success. Give me Champions.
apologies for forgetting something from an awful movie i watched once a decade ago pretty much all canonical thor stories state thor gets his lightning power from being, uh, a god lol. not from mjolnir.
