Avengers Endgame SPOILER Thread

[ladywhipple02]

I had the "fat Thor" argument with my husband as he had the same issue you did.

Thor is broken. Severely broken. If you look back through the past movies, he's pretty much lost everything that he feels defines him. He's made some HUGE mistakes, and killing Thanos was the icing on the cake. I think his escape/coping mechanism fits perfectly with how Thor has been portrayed throughout the movies - anytime things get hard, he escapes into humor (plus the hints here and there that he enjoys his beer). My husband disagrees and feels like they were just going for a laugh (he claims Disney's influence).


I hate time travel. I mean, I love Back to the Future, and time travel movies, but I hate the inconsistencies that come along with time travel. And while Endgame tries very very hard to work through those inconsistencies, I still found myself disappointed that this was the way they "fixed" everything. In the end, I think they did the best I've seen - I thoroughly enjoyed how everything wrapped up. Big concern with how the world just picked up where it left off after five years of everyone being gone - my husband also had the discussion of getting remarried and even having children after five years, and then oops, original spouse and family are back! Awkward......


So many cool things to name: I loved when Steve Rogers runs into himself and says "Oh sh..." And then mocks himself for saying "I could do this all day." Shows so much progression for him, from the days of Age of Ultron where he was telling everyone to watch their language and was so sanctimonious. The end battle scene with him wielding the hammer, and he and Thor switching off weapons (Thor gets the big one, Cap gets the little one lol). The girl power scene was forced but I still loved it, being a woman. I got chills when everyone shows up to fight, and again when Thanos and his army disappears. And it HAD to be Tony who ended it. I don't know about redemption so much as his biggest fears being that he couldn't protect everyone. And that line where Pepper tells him that he can go now, that they'll be okay? Ugh, ripped my heart right out.

My biggest disappointment was the lack of Captain Marvel. I really, really thought she would be more prevalent in this movie. When she comes back and takes down the ship, and beats the poo out of Thanos, I was super happy, but I would've liked to see her more.


Overall, I thought the move was amazing and we are going to see it again next weekend.
