OFFICIAL Avengers: Endgame Discussion Thread (will contain spoilers once the movie is out)

What did everyone think of the sort of female empowerment moment?

 

[AngiTN]

Oh, oh, oh!!!!!!
My favorite moment of the entire movie, the all-female battle line up
Anyone else get chills from the female power moment, even short-lived as it was. I want a shirt with that image on it
Though DH hated they included Pepper

I didn’t think the “She’s not alone” scene from IW could get any better but then Endgame happened! Seeing all of the female Avengers come together with Carol brought a tear to my eye, I won’t lie. Captain Marvel and Wanda are absolute bosses.


My entire screen cheered during *THAT* Cap scene and Thor’s “I knew it!” And there was A LOT of snuffling noses during the end. King Valkyrie was also a personal highlight for me. Looking forward to seeing it again.

LOL.. I just posted exact thing!

Things I liked:

-Captain America got that little hail Hydra nod to his new comics
-Captain America picking up mjolnir
- Captain America's ending, it was easily predictable but I was so happy. and now I know why they dropped his potential love interest out of nowhere
-the Ironman 3 kid showing up at the funeral
--hawkeye and black widow's fight
- the fact that I was surprised by black widow's death
-that this last movie really focused on the core, original avengers

I think we picked the exact right movies for our re-watch this time (before Infinity War we watched all of them, just didn't have the time this time). We watched Ironman, Avengers, Winter Soldier, Ultron, Civil War, Thor Ragnarok and IW which we finished less than an hour before we left for Endgame. So it totally seemed like such a natural continuation for me. Pieces of the movie (including who died at the end) were in line with our theories so in that way, it was kind of predictable but in a good way for me. I loved that they focused on the original Avengers - I mean, yeah they had to since that was who was alive but that's also, for the most part, who's story is ending.

Interesting point about the others being disjointed movies - but at the same time, so was Ironman and Captain America and the two Guardians for that matter. But they still made for really entertaining movies. I think there is definitely opportunity to link it all up if they want to though to bring that integration back. I feel like the characters are so good (and the actors portraying them are perfect) that they will be easy to watch. Though it is definitely not quite the same - kind of in the same way the Fantastic Beasts movies are really enjoyable but it isn't the same as Harry Potter.

I'm not a comic book person so I don't know what's canon/happened in the comics but I really have gotten to know and fallen in love (ie nerded out haha) with the MCU through these movies.

I thought it felt forced and I cringed a bit but I'm probably in the minority. I liked the one from infinity war better.

Also, I know I shouldn't overthink these things but where the heck did Valkyrie find a Pegasus??

 

[PixieT78]

Oh and I wanted to add that I do wish they'd brought Thor and his body/hair back when he got the lightening back instead of keeping that going. He's a god, its possible to just switch right? lol

@rteez - yes the female empowerment thing. Man, note that is one of the places I teared up. I thought it was excellent. I really did. I hope people don't say it was just gratuitous or whatever and really just take it for what it was - an awesome moment with the female characters because they are just as powerful and belong there just as much as the male characters.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I guess if you are strictly looking at the movie franchise but if it's the actual character, then she is what she is. It's not like she's created by someone just for these movies or anything. They have to work with the characters as they are given to them. And she's powerful.

I never read any cap marvel comics. I'm just talking about the movie character.

And I still think characters that powerful are a problem, you either have to keep them out of the action (like Superman for most of Justice league), or there is just no conflict because they're all powerful.

Did anyone else notice the Agent Carter easter egg/cameo during the New Jersey scene? I actually did an internal squeal when I saw him!

 

[ChrisFL]

The good thing, I can now say I have a body like THOR!

I thought that was him. Poor guy though, never stood a chance.

I too thought it was forced but fine..I thought Pepper was oddly hot in the suit.

My only beef with Cap. Marvel in the movie as a character was she was kind of an ***. In her movie she was personable. She was over the top arrogant in this one

That was an awesome moment! Again, loved how they tied so much of the MCU together.

I'm over Pepper. I know it's on me, but the past few movies I've had issues separating Pepper from Gwyneth Paltrow who I think is nuts. Which is a shame because I really liked the Pepper character in the first few Ironmans.

My thoughts are very jumbled today and I'm also trying to work, so I apologize for the 20 posts.

I think I was more sad about black widow than Ironman.

Not sure if it's because I was 99% sure Ironman was going.

I feel like she had more to do.

I'm also very uneasy about Gamora. Guardians is my favorite marvel movie. I don't want the different timeline one to replace ours. I notice she wasn't at the funeral or on the ship at the end

 

[leiaorgana]

Clearly Captain Marvel isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. She’s not meant for you. I love her exactly how she is and nothing will change my mind. She doesn’t need to prove herself to anyone and there’s a reason for her so called “arrogance”. She knows how powerful she is now and she’s never going to fit into a box of what people think or expect her to be just because she’s a woman.

When Thanos head butted her and she didn’t even flinch I think I died of happiness.

I got more sad about Iron Man. Though that’s because I love Iron Man. Definitely moments throughout the entire film that one could’ve teared up.

DH wondered about her not being at the funeral too.

I said it was because she doesn't trust them or know them yet. Not this Gamora. She will, and I'm sure it will be part of their next movie, her getting to know them but they haven't gotten there yet

As long as he keeps the hair and looses the gut, I'm a happy gal
I have NEVER liked short hair Thor all that much
