Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie Thread

[RPS]

I read Tristys post. It is like 15-20 paragraphs long. If someone accidentally opened the spoiler tag they would have to substantially read it to be spoiled. It just describes in general detail every portion of the movie up until Mickey Mouse joins the MCU and kills Thanos and makes out with Spiderman.

[tristy]

That wasn't Spider-Man, it was Tobey Maguire's debut in the MCU as Ben Reilly. Goddamn @RPS get your facts right.

[Colly]

I think I basically just saw one of the last handful of Captain Marvel showings in a cinema with 12 people in. Nice. I think we were the only ones to leave after the mid credit scene too, leaving the dedicated 10.

I liked it, but I'm very wary I'm hitting superhero fatigue at just the wrong time.

IGN gives Endgame a 9.5/10

[Benjamin]

I've seen a fuckton of movies from about 10 decades the past 6 years, and that was easily the best movie I've ever seen.10/10. 

I'm watching it again in like 12 hours, and I already can't wait.

Spoiler

No after credits scenes, like Infinity War. I'd recommend staying back still for the five minutes of credits, I thought the music was incredible.

Spoilers are for if there are any after credit scenes, and if so, how many.

First scene is Hawkeye losing his family to the snap.

Marvel card.

Tony recording his message, including flashbacks to the last 22 days with Nebula. She heals his stab wound there. Captain Marvel then shows up, and brings the ship back to Earth. Everyone from the CM post credit scene, plus Pepper, waiting there. Tony is in a bad shape. Tony and Cap fight, Tony blames Cap still for the Civil War events. They fly to fight Thanos (minus Tony). Thanos has destroyed the stones, that was the thing he did "2 days ago". They beat him and Thor CUTS HIS HEAD OFF. They know they lost.

5 years later time jump. In that time: Bruce learns how to become Dr. Hulk. Loves it, best of both worlds for him. Tony and Pepper marry and have a kid. She's fiveish when events pick up again. Thor establishes a fisher town for the remaining Asgardians including Valkyrie and becomes a drunk with a dad beer pod. Rhodey searches for Hawkeye who goes on a killing spree for every villain out there around the world. Steve has a support group. Nat holds the fort in the Avengers facility. They tell each other that they have to move on but can't.

Scott's van is dusting in some storage facility. He comes back when a rat runs over the control that Hope couldn't press anymore before she was dusted. For him only 5 hours passed. He reunites with Cassie and goes to the facility.

Scott figures they can fix things with time travel. No alternate dimensions come into play though they're mentioned. Tony doesn't want to help first because he doesn't want to lose what he built in the last 5 years.

Bruce works on the time travel alone then. In the facility, Soctt is testing the suit. He gets turned into an old man, a baby and a kid. It doesn't work.

Then Tony arrives and agrees to help, but only if the last 5 years remain untouched and they are, they are never reversed. He brings the bracelets which stabilize the time traveling.

Nat finds Clint in Asia and tells him, they have a chance. He asks her not to give him hope. She says she's sorry for not being able to do it before. Clint is the first to test the suit, he goes to his farm, wants to go see his family but is yanked back before he can.

They go after the stones. They all have only one try because Scott has only so little Pym particles left.

Nebula flies with the Guardians ship, Rhodey, Nat and Clint. Nat and Clint drop them off to get the power stone and go for the soul stone with the ship. Nat does Gamora 2.0 after Clint and her fought over who gets to die (she rips herself away from his grasp and falls, dies and is never seen again). Nebula's neural interfaced is tapped by Thanos in the past in the form of her old self. He taps the interface and sees everything going on in the future including his death. He, old Gamora and old Nebula travel to the power stone planet and take Nebula prisoner. Old Nebula switches her golden face plate with new Nebula's to impersonate her and go back to 2019 with the power stone.

Thor and Rocket go to Asgard. Rocket gets the Aether out of Jane with some device. Thor has a long tolk with his mother. Before they leave, he gets his hammer.

Scott, Cap, Hulk and Tony go to 2012 New York. Hulk retrieves the time stone from the Ancient One. She gives it to him after he told her, Strange has given it away, and says, Strange is the best Sorcerer, and that she counts on Hulk. Tony and Steve try to retrieve the scepter and Tesseract from the Avengers tower right after the New York fight. Old-Loki snags the Tesseract, leaves with it and is never seen again. Steve gets the scepter but runs into his own old self and has to fight himself. He beats himself with the scepter. Cameos by Pearce and Rumlow. They enact the elevator scene basically, but no fight. Steve says "Hail Hydra" to convince Crossbones to give him the Tesseract. Then Scott takes the scepter back to 2019. Tony and Steve go back to 1970 because in the old SHIELD facility there there's not only another Tesseract (from that year timeline) but also some Pym particles there. Tony has a talk with his father and reconciles with him. They snatch the Tesseract from that year and the particles and go back to 2019.

Hulk puts on the gauntlet with all the stones. Thor wants to but they convince him Hulk is the better choice. Hulk loses his arm but does the snap. Nothing happens at first.

In the meantime old-Nebula has opened the time tunnel for Thanos' ship with his army and him from 2014. The others don't know because Tony sealed off the room for the snap. Thanos comes through the portal and old-Nebula destroys it. Thanos then destroys the Avengers facility with one blast.

New-Nebula convinces Gamora to free her and they fight - and kill - old-Nebula.

Rhodey and Rocket are nearly killed by underground floods but Scott saves them. Clint finds the gauntlet underground and carries it around (not putting it on), always on the run from Thanos' army.

Thor, Tony and Steve fight Thanos. Thor has his armor back on, his beard braided and looks much better. Cap wields the hammer.

Thanos nearly wins. Then the dusted come back through a lot of Strange's portals from wherever they were dusted. Steve says "Avengers assemble". Epic fight ensues. This is the big one, this is where my source cried because it's so epic. Tony and Peter take a moment for a reunion. Pepper is there as Rescue, no back story there. The goal here is to get the gauntlet to Scott's van which is somewhere on the battlefield so they can bring the stones back and undo Thanos' new attack. Includes an awesome scene where basically all female fighters on the field carry the gauntlet part of the way. But they all have a hand in carrying it there.

They fail tho, Thanos puts the gauntlet on. Tony stops him from using it after Strange showed him with one finger up-motion that this is the only way, and puts it on himself, snapping Thanos' army and himself. Thanos dies sitting sadly on the ground.

Tony dies after Peter, Pepper and Rhodey said good-bye. Later Pepper plays some BARF video showing Tony saying good-bye (he recorded it before they go for the stones). Then they say good-bye to him in a funeral by the lake. General Ross and Hank Pym cameos. No Betty in the whole movie.

Steve takes it on him to bring the stones back to where they took it from. Bucky knows he's not coming back, they say good-bye for "long" while Sam and Bruce think he'll be back in seconds. But he doesn't but shows up an old man instead a moment later, sitting on a bench. He had his life with Peggy. He gives the shield to Sam. Bucky approves.

Peter goes back to high school and meets Ned, who is very moved.

Thor gives the throne of Asgard to Valkyrie and leaves with the Guardians, bickering with Peter about who's the boss. He has no idea what he wants to do next.

Last scene with Cap and Peggy dancing. The end.

 

 

ENDGAME SPOILERS
Don't click that spoiler box unless you want to know the entire movie. It's from a verified user by the mods of MarvelStudiosSpoilers on Reddit.

I don't know how I feel about most of that.

How about from now on till the rest of eternity we just don't post spoilers like this, before the film or show or whatever is released, like at all? If we wanted to read spoilers we'd go to a place that posts them. 

[Rocky]

I need to organise a second viewing with friends. It was amazing.

Oh cool, so I guess they were right.

[tristy]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's hidden behind two spoiler boxes and warnings, so, again - have some self control if you're avoiding spoilers. There are obviously people who read them. And like it's already been said, it's not against the rules. If a new rule is made, then okay, that's fair.

These are the kind of spoilers I like. The "will it be worth delaying sleep further when it's already c.3am" type of spoilers.  

Anyhoo. My Infinity War screening starts in about 90 minutes. I imagine that a cinema screen full of the kind of nuts who have signed up for the double-bill/midnight showing will be kind of fun (at least in the first film which everybody's already seen).

[stokeriño]

Well that was GODDAMN MAGNIFICENT.

[Kaney]

Yeah that was something else. Not in the slightest what I expected and not sure if I liked it better than Infinity War, but it was epic as fuck.

[Kyle]

Fucking hell that was real good.

Some thoughts, after time to process it :

I wasn't keen on fat Thor, I think they went a bit too far in that direction but it was awesome seeing Korg again.

I didn't expect Black Widow to die, I thought it would be Hawkeye but it was so obvious once the plan was laid out one of them was gonna go. I thought more would have been done with the Red Skull to tie up that loose end but eh.

I loved the tease of the elevator scene from The Winter Soldier, and having Cap reference the infamous Hail Hydra line was clever.

Speaking of Cap, the moment he started using Mjolnir against Thanos was the first time I've ever heard a theatre actually gasp.  Really awesome fight sequence as well.

I'm glad they went the time travel route rather than everyone-was-in-the-soul-gem-all-along. I felt it was quite an awkward series of events going around getting the stones back, it didn't feel like it flowed as well as Infinity War but I'll need to rewatch it a few more times before passing judgement.

I had expected Captain Marvel to be more utilised? The part where she no sold Thanos punches when grabbing the gauntlet were awesome but apart from that and bringing down the ship, she was absent for a whole lot. They made a huge thing about her being the most powerful being in the MCU and that she'd be the one to take Thanos down once and for all but it ended up being one of the original lot after all.

Speaking of which, ugh, poor Tony. I anticipated almost the same scenario except with Cap instead. It was really sweet to see Rodgers finally get his girl though. Was it just me or was there a random guy at Starks funeral that I couldn't place? Just before it panned to Danvers and Fury.

My wife and I argued on the way home over the funniest line, it was either the build-a-bear one about Rocket or Korg complaining about the troll online.

Spoiler

The random guy was the kid from Iron Man 3. Yeah, I have no idea why he was there either. I guess he was sort of important to Iron Man's story?

A question Kaney asked in his spoilered thoughts.
