Most memorable part for me is just after Thanos attacked the Avengers HQ, Hulk is shown holding up the cave-in and it instantly made me think of Secret Wars #4. I wish they would have played more off of that or at least show signs of Bruce losing control of the Hulk. And we really needed a full on Hulk Smash scene at the end.
Is this movie good enough for oscar nod? Much better than black panther. Never cried so much at a theatre twice.
lol this isn't getting an Oscar nod for best picture 0% chance, maybe special effects if nothing else cleaner comes out
The J-man
I got the impression that he couldn't save her at this point. If he could have sacrificed himself instead, he gladly would have. But he couldn't get her back on the ledge and if they both died her sacrifice would be in vain.
Re-watched IW, and Skull says the Stone requires a sacrifice that will give the person who acquires it a sense of its worth (paraphrasing). So I think either of them could have jumped off the cliff and it would have been enough for the other to acquire the Soul Stone, because they would feel the weight of the sacrifice.
Well, post-Flashpoint, time travel always seems to go horribly for Barry Allen. So presumably things would have gotten much worse! And Barry would decide that he needed to undo the changes and just let half the universe die because for some reason it's okay for villains to manipulate the timeline but heroes aren't supposed to set it right.
They did create a category for this kind of movie though. And much like LotR they dished out Oscars primarily because it had made everyone loads of money. A cinema landscape without the MCU is not worth thinking about as far as economics are concerned. They are allowing the cinema's to actually bank on getting people into their establishments twice a year on average, rather than gamble all year.
This answer about bringing Natasha back is very interesting:
McFEELY But that’s the everlasting exchange. You bring her back, you lose the stone.
Now this will always be up to whichever screenwriter is on a project, but he is clearly focusing on the words I highlighted earlier: ‘An everlasting exchange. A soul for a soul’
So now that the stones are supposedly destroyed what would that mean exactly? I would bet that any future Black Widow movie will not be a flashback, simply because it probably won't arrive for a couple of years. The narrative will have moved on by then. So perhaps the simplest solution is that she returned when Thanos destroyed the stones.
If THAT was Natasha's end point in the MCU, then what a disappointing one it was.
Nebula is with the rest of gaurdians. Gamora went on her own
