Avengers: ENDGAME (April 26, 2019) [NON-SPOILERS] (1 Viewer)

[JimmyO]

Yeah, this is all a bit silly.

Marvel always seems to have things really together, but they've really blown it this time. Mind you, it is a pretty monumental task to try and keep that vibe of "omg so many of our heroes are dead" going for a year. But this is what they signed up for.

I agree with Jake. Pushing these closer together would have solved a lot of these problems. When I saw the spidey clip on Kimmel, *and* they even had dialogue where Jimmy asks "how is this possible, you're supposed to be dead?" kinda thing, that fell flat too.

I even feel silly making the argument because yes, we all knew that Avengers 4 was going to be all about undoing Infinity War damage.

So I am guessing now the whole endgame is not really who comes back to life (we kinda already know) but rather who stays dead or who is not dead now that will be?

It feels like that strange kind of manipulation that when someone does something totally shocking that you can't believe, then when you finally believe it they laugh at you and think you're a fool for having taken them seriously at all in the first place.

 

[Jake Lipson]

We know that Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange and the Guardians will come back to life because they all have future films in various stages of development, and they were always going to have more films whether they died or not.

We also know that several of the original Avengers, including at minimum Downy, Hemsworth and Evans, have their current contracts expiring with this film.

We've talked about this before, but I think it's very clear that Marvel left the original Avengers alive so that it will be a "getting the band back together for one last mission" type thing, where the originals (plus Rocket, Nebula, and Captain Marvel) will have to figure out how to bring the others back. I strongly suspect that it will be a trade scenario, in which the living Avengers who don't want to renew their contracts will sacrifice themselves in exchange for the currently dead ones to come back to life (Tony for Peter Parker, Steve for Bucky, etc.) The "We don't trade lives" line from Infinity War is too loaded not to come back around.

Yeah, I'm sort of looking forward to Avengers 4 and I'm sure I'll like it when it finally get here, but the ending of Infinity War had men rolling my eyes at it's attempt at manipulation. And a year wait is far too long for such a weak attempt at cliffhangering. I seriously have close to zero anticipation at this point, which I'm sure will ramp up slightly when we get closer, perhaps the final week before it's release.

 

[JimmyO]

Cliffhangering. I love it!

 

[Tino]

If it were only a cliffhanger.....

MARVEL ISN'T EVEN PRETENDING THAT THE END OF INFINITY WAR MATTERED
If Marvel isn’t taking the end of Infinity War seriously, why should we?

I had to double-check to confirm that @Josh Steinberg didn't write that article.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Who says I didn’t?

Sure Disney has let it be known we are getting a few movies after the next Avengers but no announcements for Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and many others. While it may seem things will go back to normal with the snap of fingers, it's possible not everyone is going to make it back after the resurrection. Ooo, that might be a cool title, Avengers: Resurrection.

I was thinking more along the lines of, Avengers: End of Contract

Sure Disney has let it be known we are getting a few movies after the next Avengers but no announcements for Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and many others.

Downy and Evans are at the end of their contracts and have both already had trilogies in their name. I'm not sure about Ruffalo, but we know that rights issues with Universal prevent him from having a solo film as the Hulk.

That being said, Resurrection actually makes sense as the title. It would be a straightforward way for Marvel to acknowledge that the point of the movie is to bring back the dead characters, and it would also explain Feige's comments about the subtitle of 4 being a spoiler for Infinity War had they released it before. Resurrection implies death at the end of the previous movie. So, you might be onto something there.

Avengers: Everything is Fucked, And Half the People You Know Are Dead

I strongly suspect that it will be a trade scenario, in which the living Avengers who don't want to renew their contracts will sacrifice themselves in exchange for the currently dead ones to come back to life (Tony for Peter Parker, Steve for Bucky, etc.) The "We don't trade lives" line from Infinity War is too loaded not to come back around.

That covers a dozen or so of the "dusted". Who do the living trade for the other trillions upon trillions of victims?

 

[Thomas Newton]

Half the People You Know Are Dead

New on satellite and Internet radio – the THANOS channel. Fall in love with gems like:

"… Another one bites the dust …"

"… All we are is dust in the wind …"

"… It's the end of the world as we know it, and I don't feel fine …"

 

[Jake Lipson]

Who do the living trade for the other trillions upon trillions of victims?

Good question.

 

[JimmyO]

I think they trade Moviepass subscriptions.

Avengers: Everything is Fucked, And Half the People You Know Are Dead

Not the better half.

 

[Tommy R]

Not the better half.

Maybe Thanos accidentally puts the infinity gauntlet in Captain Marvel's coat.

Avengers 4': Gwyneth Paltrow Revealed in Rescue Armor

Gotta admit, I'm super pumped to see this!

Spoiler

With how many superheros were killed off as a result of the snap [and considering the time jump we're expecting to see in Avengers 4], I wondered if the Russo Brothers would give Gwyneth Paltrow a chance to play her comic-book alter-ego!

 

[dpippel]

Might be nice to encapsulate that info in a spoiler tag.

 

[holtge]

Not exactly sure how to do that. Can a mod fix it for me?

UPDATE: fixed!
