"Because the strong man, who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows....compassion"
The main thing I'll always argue for when it comes to Avengers: Endgame is that plotholes can't and don't exist in the film and that certain things occur that seem to be convenient to the plot are actually supposed to be that way.
If there's one thing that annoys tf outta me when it comes to certain characters is literally having the ability to evaporate anyone in an instant only to conveniently NOT do that with the main heroes.
Shouldn't be a hot take, but out of every character in the MCU, Nebula has gotta have the most natural character progression and personality shift from how she was in Guardians 1 to now.
It's insane looking back at Nebula from Guardians 1 to now seeing just how far she's changed and her dynamic with the rest of the Guardians.
Karen Gillan absolutely dissappears in this role.
The greatest trick the MCU ever pulled is making people believe they had every single thing meticulously planned out.
They didn't. They likely had an outline and adapted to the circumstances which arose movie by movie.
You watch Iron Man to Endgame and it mostly feels seamless.
This scene feels ripped straight out of a classic 60's Lee/Ditko Spidey comic due to how exposition heavy it gets with the dialogue and how campy it is. This shouldn't work in live action but it does and Gyllenhaal pulls it off brilliantly with his line delivery and body language
I mean, she doesn't even crack a smile for the first time until she wins playing paper football against Tony Stark and that moment stands out so much for her character.
"The MCU has always been a bit embarrassed to be based on comic books.
Then wtf is all this?!?! If you compare what we've been getting with the MCU to the early 2000's with Bryan Singer's X-Men. Its literally a night and day difference.
And not in the way like Hulk or Thor where it feels less like character growth and more like different filmmakers just doing their own things and feeling like different characters in different films.
Everything with Nebula totally tracks even when Gunn isn't the director.
It's so fitting that Hulk who is known for death and destruction is the one responsible for restoring half of all life in the universe. Very fulfilling and poetic if you ask me
Iron Man 2008 didn't have a finished script.
Whedon didn't have a clue on what to do with Thanos.
HIs motivations weren't even clear till Infinity War.
Spider-Man in the MCU wasn't even a possibility if TASM 2 didn't fail.
For me, this shot of Steve's eyes tell so much. Look at where he started from the beginning. Just a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who who just wanted to join the army and serve his country and now so many years later this shot truly personifies to me the " Man out of Time" label..
They're ability to adapt for every circumstance is what makes so much of the franchise feel so seamless and 100% planned out when it clearly wasn't.
They were making it up as they went along and it was a success.
What human being in the entire fucking world who watched Endgame looked at this scene at was paying attention to the background. EVERYONE'S eyes followed Mjolnir flying into Cap's hand and was focused on him. This is a new level of clownery on Twitter I swear
PLEASE let Peter's new suit at the end of NWH stay as his main costume for the rest of his future.
Minor tweaks to the suit between movies are fine, just like what they did with the Raimi suit, but let the overall design stay the same 🤞
THAT!!! That right there was the completion of his arc. Us seeing Bruce and Hulk merge as one to me was never the actual conclusion. He was the only one capable of bringing everyone back and surviving.
"Hey you saw Avengers: Endgame?"
" Yeah and I hated Steve's ending, how dare he retires and goes to live a life with Peggy!!! He should have been with BUCKY!!! Stucky4life!! Sksksks!!!"
Unpopular opinion: Elderly Steve Rogers doesn't need to appear in Captain America 4.
Just feels like seeing him ever again would ruin the emotional weight of Endgame's final scene.
It was a passing of the torch and goodbye to him.
With A Quiet Place Part 2 and Fast 9 now getting delayed there's no doubt to me that Black Widow is most likely getting delayed as well. Fuck 2020, what an awful year it's been so far...
Those 2 yrs leading up to Infinity War and then anticipating Endgame right after was a whole different beast huh. I don't think we'll ever reach THAT level of hype ever again. It was something special
The things he pulled off with those camera movements from Evil Dead and Spider-Man, I can't even image what kind of insanity he has in store for Doctor Strange.
Elizabeth Olsen praises Sam Raimi’s fantastic work on ‘DOCTOR STRANGE: IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS’.
She says he brings a great energy and “is a specifc type of filmmaker who loves playing with his camera.”

I think people underestimate just how much good will The Last Knight killed.
If Age of Extinction was the last Bay film and you had that 4 yr gap between Bumblebee, the franchise would've had greater momentum.
Mysterio's over the top fake out sacrifice is so damn perfect and shows the whole genius of his facade. He's the ultimate cliche superhero that'll fit right in with anyone. Even his line "Whatever happens, I'm glad we met" is so damn cheesy and cliched but it totally works 😂
I'm not even joking, I genuinely think Spider-Man 2 is the best shot/framed superhero film ever made.
EVERY single scene just oozes personality and staged to perfection.
There's like 10 moments in his MCU history so far where y'all be confused/contradicting where he became Spider-Man. Just stop already.
Man literally became Spider-Man when got bit by the spider and started helping people. It ain't rocket science 😭
There are days where I just think about how comic book films like Infinity War and Endgame actually exist on this type of scale. I mean to this day it still blows my mind that these two films actually work and are so coherent in its storytelling with so many characters.
How on Earth does a movie make 1.2B in it's opening weekend alone man 😭
Like pretty much there likely wasn't a single empty seat in any theater that played this opening weekend.
THAT'S CRAZY.
You ain't ever seeing something like this ever again.
Age of Ultron just gets better as the years go by. People always wanna say its nothing more than a set up film but man, the payoffs are so worth it years down the line.
Thanos didn't leave Thor defeated, beat the Hulk within seconds, murder Heimdall and Loki, and then become the first being in the universe capable of wielding 2 Infinity Stones in the opening of IW for y'all to somehow call Snyder's version of Darkseid a better character 😭😭
It's really pathetic knowing how twitter is that when we finally get a Fantastic Four film in the MCU people are gonna suddenly backtrack and defend this pile of garbage as if it was some underrated gem and misunderstood masterpiece 😑
IT WAS ALL A DREAM, I USED TO READ WIZARD MAGAZINE
Every time the MCU gets trashed on by people and how certain people look at it on this app I always think back to this line from Spider-Man 1 and it couldn't fit anymore perfectly.
It's been almost 2 yrs since it's release and I'm still in awe that a comic book film like this even exists managing to juggle so many characters and tell a cohesive narrative. And we thought back in 2012 handling 6 characters was a risk. Infinity War and Endgame are films I'll
After six episodes,
#WandaVision
still feels far too much like an inflated feature film that just keeps dragging out its story via inconvenient weekly installments. Here's why:
I truly believe NWH is the peak of how you use nostalgia to tell a story and pull off a legacy sequel correctly.
I'm sorry, but seeing 3 generations of Spider-Man on screen together is never being topped no matter what cameos Doctor Strange 2 tries to pull.
THIS WAS REAL
How in the hell does this moment work so well as it does in live action? This shit feels like its been pulled right out of any classic Lee/Ditko/Romita Spidey comic in terms of its dialogue and cheesy tone and works perfectly 😂👌
"sTEvE wAs sO SelFiSh ToO sTaY In THe pAsT!" "wHat aBOuT BuCkY!!" 🤬🤬🤬
I swear MCU stans constantly make me lose brain cells. Not my fault if you don't PAY ATTENTION to these movies and know what a CHARACTER ARC is.
I still firmly believe Jurassic Park remains unmatched when it comes to having the best human characters in a science fiction monster film. The foundation is set perfectly with how well written and memorable these characters are that the Dinos appearing are just an added bonus.
I LOVE both of them. Don't care for whatever trash discourse on Twitter that says you can only prefer one or this one gets Spider-Man better and is inferior or the same repetitive arguments that lead to nothing but constant annoyance.
The HEART and SOUL of the MCU for the past decade. You couldn't have asked for better casting with RDJ and Chris Evans in these roles and it'll really be difficult moving forward without them but some journeys must come to an end at some point 😭
Star Lord's mom fell in love with a space man and died of cancer.
Jane Foster fell in love with a space man and is dying of cancer at a quicker rate with the weapon he promised to protect her.
How was there no correlation in the writing?!?!
You had something there!
Remember when ALMOST ALL of the Avengers were in the third Captain America film but the narrative was still centred around Steve Rogers as the lead? But oh, Doctor Strange being part of SM 3 is somehow Marvel not trusting Spidey to carry his own film?!? WTF is that logic?
