Avengers Endgame

Better (a) the second time viewed (b) in IMAX 2d than in standard 3D......the music selections...(traffic! kinks!)
Were transcendent....as was the experience in general, especially if one bought in hard and early to the MCU,
.....and for moi, who honed my earliest reading skills on a nonstop diet of All the main protagonists
marvel releases of the LEE era(I literally owned 1st pressing FF, Hulk, Spidey, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Avengers, Dr. strange, Conan, etc.., bought (or lifted from the newsstand we had at the family hotel business) in they day they were delivered .....starting from their REAL origin stories .....I still get a bit depressed when I think of my blessed grandma tossing out into the trash a collection (while I was at college ) worthtoday who knows how much...............lifelong dream resolved with the flicks.
 
I collected Hulk and the "NEW" X-Men .... I sold the collection in 1982 and bought a Strat ! Fond memories for sure !

Heading out in 15 minutes to see it in IMAX. I figured that's appropriate ;)
 
That means you missed the best decade for superheroes other than the golden age of comics!:eek:

Seriously, I loved superhero comics but HATED the big screen versions, save for batman till Marvel came along and showed us all how it's SUPPOSED to be done :cool:

I used to hate iron man and captain America as a kid, and they're both two of my top heroes now thanks to the movies

Its not that the Marvel movies are bad, its just that the genre doesn't interest me. I'm from the Netherlands, American superhero comics were never big here when I was a kid. I grew up on French and Belgian comics like Tintin, Asterix the Gaul, Lucky Luke or Valérian. I'll take those any day over people with weird powers and tight brightly colored outfits.

Not interested either. Endless repetitions of explosions and collapsing buildings...

Pretty sure that's transformers :p

They fall in grass and there are explosions o_O

They kick down a barn door, huge explosions :confused:

I actually know 3 of these :D VERY rarely we come across them here though
 
.........we are very close to the point where tiptoeing around spoilers may not be necessary, dontcha think that everybody who wanted to see this has by now?
 
Cap kicked ASS!!!!

Saw it again last night. The acting was SOOOOOO good in both this and infinity wars!! Each of these actors game some of the best acting of their careers and some of the best acting I have seen PERIOD!

Well, with the exception of Brie....all her acting just seems so wooden in comparison :/

Josh Brolin absolutely KILLED it as Thanos.....hell, in infinity wars I was actually rooting for Thanos to win! In Endgame they made him a bit more like comic book Thanos. In general there have been a LOT of homage moments to the comics, including some not so obvious ones.....I'll probably give it another week to discuss spoilers, though the official spoiler day given by the Russos was May 6th, but a lot of people still haven't seen it yet so....
 
I enjoined Loki Episode 1 last night!

I was delighted with the interrogation on his purpose of life, on a quasi psychoanalytic/philosophical level 🤪

(no spoilers)

It is clear that what occurs for the next five weeks on this series will have monumental circumstances for the MCU moving forward (and backwards …and …..?). Love It. Feige is a genius.
