No but there's a redbox right by my place. Been meaning to check it out since I've heard good things and I'm a Spidey guy.

I enjoyed the movie but I gotta say, am I the only one pissed they let Cap wield Thors hammer? It just doesnt make ANY sense to me.

I'm not HUGE into this universe but I do watch the vast majority of movies. From my understanding Cap is nothing more than a super human soldier science experiment. They gave him some serum or some shit to make him really strong.

That's all well and good, I'm sure it made him very strong and tough. But Thor is a literal god... his hammer is forged in a way that only a God is worthy of wielding it, is it not?

I'm not sure what it is. I was really into the X-men and Avengers, and all their individual books, but Spidey never grabbed me. Not sure why.

In my wildest dreams as a kid, I never would have imagined we'd get movies that respect these characters so much. Guess that's why it irks me when people say stuff like "they expect me to take people in capes dying seriously"

Yes. You're supposed to suspend disbelief that these are real people in real scenarios. LOTR, the matrix, star wars etc have moral dilemmas, character progression, heroic sacrifices etc. Why is that appropriate there but not here?

Characters like cap and tony don't deserve an emotional sendoff after 12 years of movies?

My brother is too good for super hero movies but is all gooey over westerns. Westerns are also about mythological people who cannot exist in real life in the way that they appear in the movies.


Endgame was the best Marvel movie of all time IMO but you had to be there for the last ten years as they built up the characters to get it.

Thors hammer is about being worthy. Pure, honorable etc. If you meet the criteria you can wield the hammer. It's just a REALLY select group of people that can do it.

Tbh a lot of the criticism I've seen sounds like snobbery. People that haven't followed these movies since 2007 and don't care about these characters at all. Just want to see explosions. Well, this is the worst marvel movie to watch for action set pieces. They're in there, but the movie isn't about that stuff and that's why I love it. Moments like Tony with his daughter or his reaction to Parker's return, Tony doing the snap, old man Steve. Grief stricken Hulk. I loved moments like that.

You can tell from comments that more casual fans think these characters don't have depth and serious emotional moments in the source material. But they do. Comics aren't a children's medium and haven't been for some time. Some of my favorite stories have little to no action in them. I said in an earlier post itt, in all my time reading comics I've NEVER seen that ending for Steve Rogers. And because of the nature of comics, we don't often get real endings with closure for anyone. Because they have to show up next issue. And the people that made these movies understand that, and they gave us some real closure for these characters we've spent all this time with.

They treated the characters with respect, and I really appreciate that.

Felt like Thor and Hulk had to be depowered a little to make the end battle make sense. I don't think that was necessary, as I never got the feeling Thanos was going all out in IW. I get the logic though. Thor at least got some really cool scenes. Thor fans must be over the moon with how he's been treated in the MCU. Started out a corny afterthought but the characterization and his power set kept getting better with every movie. Short hair dudebro Thor is the best version of Thor in any medium ever. I've seen thor ragnarok like 6 or 7 times. Goddamn that movie is fun.

Looking back, I think most of my moral values come from Peter Parker lol. Pete was sooo relatable for me growing up. Being that nerd that bullies target and girls ignore, even though you're just derping along trying to be a good dude. Probably the first time I saw a path for that type of person to become a successful adult.

Thors always been my favorite. And this scene is hands down my favorite scene in any superhero movie ever



So going into End Game, I was thinking "fuck yea, time to see Thor FUCK some BITCHES the fuck UP!"

and well, it was slightly different than that lol. I was also really bummed to not see more of Dr. Strange. Overall still a really enjoyable movie though. IW just takes it for me.

I wonder if Thor was immune to Thanos' snap. Obviously he didn't get snapped, but could he be according to the cannon/lore? Or does being a god make him immune to something like that and only mortals are vulnerable.
