Check out my blog, Because Everyone Else Has One, for my regularly updated movie reviews.
Even if there isn't one, I feel you gotta sit through the credits on principle. At this point it's a marvel movie viewing experience tradition, even if the pay off isn't always worth it.
The J-man
I can get people not liking the ending of some these character arcs but the time travel complaints I dont get. It all depends how its handled in the movie. Now if they do like the Flash show and set rules to time travel and then break those rules thats annoying. But as far as like Sharon not knowing she kissed her uncle I assume the time line has had a scalpel taken to it. Not that the avengers had always been there but now that things have changed like that kiss probaly not happening. I assume we are gonna find out in later movies and Disney + shows the butterfly effects these actions had...
I wi say without seeing it on screen I don't like Caps ending. Feels a bit selfish given his leadership would still be needed given the people who died. But again it's all in the execution. Also 100% shocked that Thanos is dead.
So Thor joins the Guardians to help find Gamroa? How do they know Gamora is out there, did Nat take her place when she did what she did? Or does Past Gamora stay in the present and run off? The post I read wasnt that detailed. Still also confused at no Vision and wonder if a Pietro scene was cut since I've seen no mention of him despite him being on set(Maybe he was just there for a rap party or something)
For most cases, I'd agree. But for Endgame? Nah. I feel they've done enough for me to sit through the credits this one time (even if there's no post credits).
After this one, they can get away with me sitting through the credits with no post credit in another 11 years at the end of phase 6
It depends on how they do it with Cap. Maybe it's a one way trip, and he goes because he can acclimate better when whoever goes ends up being stuck. Or the fact that the trip is one way isn't known until after it happens (Or it is known, just not by him).
It's gonna be a long couple of weeks before I can see it - this weekend is about prepping for a weeklong trip to visit family.
Dark does not mean deep.
Given the reviews are insanely positive this far I'm guessing these story Arcs better on screen then on paper.
From those of you who Have seen it how does it compare to other CBMs. I've seen critics say some crazy stuff about this movie like best CBM ever and things of that nature. Seen one review where they said they literaly cries 6 different times in this movie. And a common reaction I've seen more then once is that this is a perfect end to everything that came before.

I enjoyed it. Although I don't think this warranted 3 hrs. Maybe 2 1/2 hrs. It is great in the sense everybody gets their moment to shine. Remember the Wakandan Battle in Infinity War? This films final battle is that... but turned up to 11. It does cap off the previous 10 years. But it also opens up some new plot threads moving forward.
A common gripe with comics as a whole is that they always maintain a status quo. Characters never really change or grow. But the MCU isn't restricted in that regard. Here we are given definitive endings for some characters (Tony and Natasha bite it) and others decide to hang it up and live a normal life (Cap decides to grow old with Peggy.) So people who long for long-term growth will be happy. Although they might not necessarily like where everyone ends up.
I guess the emotion comes from realising this is the last hurrah for certain characters. Ones we have followed for 10 years. So it is hard to say goodbye.
