    I was expecting more deaths to be honest. Like a lot of plots involving time travel it didn’t make a lot of sense (Thanos messing with his timeline for a start). But I loved how the fitted everybody in even if it was effectively cameos for lot of the characters.

    Still don’t Give a fuck about Hawkeye though and wished it was him who died rather than Natasha.

    But Cap having a life with Carter, oh hell yeah!

  3. Just go back from seeing it ourselves. Overall, lots of payoff – though, this should definitely not be anyone’s first experience with the MCU.

    Still kinda processing it to be honest, though my whole group did enjoy it immensely.

    And, while I know there will be future MCU films, it seems like it going to be hard to make sense of them in a post-End Game time line. Like, what is a future Avengers movie even supposed to take on?

    For that matter, knowing there is a Black Widow movie coming along, how is that going to play? Will she be a pre-MCU life time Soviet agent?

    It’s going to take me some time to wrap my head around all the time travel stuff. I do feel a little cheated by how much they spent in the beginning saying “time travel doesn’t work like THAT” and then we get Thanos and the gang jumping forward and therefore not being in 2018 to do everything in Infinity War…but it still happened

    Testing. Is this thing on?

    Well, we just saw the movie. Yay!
    I need to see it again.

    I do NOT handle time travel stuff well at all. I mentally shutdown if I don’t get it or if someone explains it to me and I dont get it the first time they tell me.
    So, with that said – I just went with it. I love the Avengers and MCU and I just went with it.

    I LOVED all of the cameos and I loved Iron Man’s exit.

    The eldest Mangan daughter had to tell us who that random teenage boy was at the funeral – I never would’ve guesses it.

    Where is Loki?

  5. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ might be more appropriate than ####################################### as a spoiler blocker for this movie.

    The entire movie, I felt like Cap’s death was being telegraphed. I recognize that they wrapped up his storyline here anyway, but I was pleasantly surprised that they did it this way.

    I thought Chris Hemsworth was done playing Thor, but maybe not?

    I expected a lot more connections to the Infinity Gaunlet comic, but this was really nothing at all like it.

    I found the “if it happened, it happened” take on time travel to be refreshingly straightforward.

    Overall, pretty great stuff. I wouldn’t call it my favorite of the Marvel films, but It’s in the upper half, for sure.

    Finally saw it Sunday and it was quite impressive. Cali saw it mid-week with friends and said she enjoyed it, but liked Infinity War better. I find myself agreeing. Plenty of spectacle and neat character wrap-ups and End Game handles having a bazillion characters and their own arcs quite well. But pacing could have been tighten up a bit. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how they are still five years after “The Snap” but with all the consequences undone. The US doesn’t look like it feel into ruin as a result of half the population being gone, but the “dusted” appear after 5 years like it was a moment. Do the people who weren’t “dusted” remember the other people not being present? Do the others who remained remember the blight they lived in for 5 years? What is further confusing is seeing Spiderman meet his friend at high school at the end, wouldn’t have his classmates be 5 years older and in their 20’s. Perhaps the next movie will fill in the blanks a bit.

      You know – – I went in expecting a collapsed society. They hinted at it a little bit with Ant-Man in the ruined neighborhood, but beyond that, I got so wrapped up in the story that I forgot about that.

      the fact that Peter’s BFF hadn’t aged at all in 5 years indicated ot me that he’d also been dusted during the snap.

      Yes, there are some articles that pose all the difficult questions that arise regarding the dusted half getting resurrected five years later – after the living had continued on for five years.

      Like, the living moving and maybe starting new relationships, raising new families – now finding their dead spouses/kids back in their lives. Or the resurrected coming back to find their “surviving” loved ones decided they couldn’t go on and committed suicide. Pretty dark and awkward stuff if you think too hard.

      Of course, despite all the hand waving and telling us about how time travel doesn’t work at the beginning, they end up coming up with their own time travel that doesn’t work either – which really is fine because there’s really no good way for time travel to actually work without breaking causality anyway.
