as for your ranking. Harsh for Thor 2 but I can’t say I blame you. That being said HULK was bad. Iron man 2 was also a huge turd. Dr. Strange could be one of my favorites, but I realize why it’ s not for many people. I haven’t seen cpn marvel yet, I don’t have high hopes. Winter soldier was stupid. It was pure exposition setup and it was dumb and should feel bad.

Super excited, but I probably wont go until maybe next week. Gonna be hard to avoid spoilers.

I’m going to just Endgame on Friday, like a loser. I know absolutely zilch about comic books, but I’m still excited since I’ ve sort of grown up with these 3 phases of Marvel films.

That’s where I am too. I did not read any of the comics, but I am so invested in the movies.

That there are 21 movies to rank, that’s saying something.

I’m super excited, but also not ready.  I didn’t get pre sale tickets so I’ll probably have to wait until like Sunday or next week.

Thor 2 was so forgettable. The only thing worth remembering is Loki’s good side coming out, and that could have been done during a post-credit scene. Hulk suffered because it was Edward Norton. Had it been Ruffalo, they would have gone another way with it. Iron Man 2 only had the introduction of Black Widow (even that was done poorly). For strange, I’m just not a magic/spell guy I guess. It didn’t do much for me. I also had to rewatch it to fully understand the details. Captain Marvel suffers the similar flaw s as Black Panth er. Winter Soldier was the first real sign of internal conflict. SHIELD imploding, Cap becoming a criminal, it wasn’t what I was expecting, but I loved it.

I edited it for accuracy. I am actually going Thursday. I’m just an idiot who typed Friday out of reflex.

AV club just ranked the movies yesterday:

I'm not seeing it until Monday. I only just saw Infinity War for the first time maybe 2 months ago so my wait hasn't been as long.

yep - the better half got tickets for 9AM Sat morning, it’s supposed to be pretty good...

My friends bought tickets so I’m tagging along. I watched ragnarok and infinity war in a row to catch up and um... Didn't think much of them. So we'll see

Well, my wife and I are going Friday morning, but I guess that’s actually before anyone in North America will be going.

This is what sparked my motivation to rank them. They bag Infinity War for “killing off too many people”, which is basically the plot to the movie.

It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure.

My issue with Infinity War was that I didn’t believe for one second that all of those characters were actually dead. Black Panther had just made like a billion dollars, so when I saw him turn to dust, my reaction was “well they’re obviously all coming back in the next film.”

I rewatched the first Avengers movie last week, and while the fight scenes are great, I didn’t love it as much as I remembered. My top 6 as of today is probably:

1. Winter soldier

2. Ragnarok

3. Civil War

4. Avengers

5. Guardians 1

6. Infinity War

Even if we knew some or all were coming back, this set up an awesome story for how they come back. 

Chuckles > i86hotdogs 04/24/2019 at 09:14

I fully expect that everyone who died in the snap will return. Other non-snap deaths (Gamora, Vision) will still stay dead. And I predict that Captain America dies for real, probably in some valiant way to save the lives of others.

It doesn't help that Spiderman dies in the snap but they're advertising his next movie already. 

i86hotdogs > Chuckles 04/24/2019 at 09:31

There’s nowhere (unless you read the comics, I haven’t ) that confirms the next Spiderman takes place after the snap. So I’m keeping my mind open on that. Although I do expect everyone to return that was snapped, I expect some of them to die another way later on. There’s literal money lines for who dies in this movie. Nuts.

Also, I’ll be upset if Cap doesn’t wield M jolni r at some point.

I’m sure that a few people will die post snap.

My issue is that sometimes it’s hard to focus on the narrative of the movies without being aware of the movies as a product. Think about the character of Spiderman. How many times has he been rebooted? So the options are:

1. Spiderman died in the snap and all future spiderman movies take place pre-infinity war but post civil war. That seems unlikely

2. Spiderman died in the snap and they’re just going to stop making spiderman movies. That seems dumb from a financial standpoint, people like this spiderman.

3. Spiderman died in the snap and they are going to reboot spiderman. Again. Bad idea.

4. Spiderman comes back to life in Endgame. Life goes on. New movies are post snap. That is the simplest answer to me.

And that's just Spiderman. Guardians 3 is happening at some point. Pretty sure it won't just be Rocket.

All are very goo d points. I believe the first two Spiderman variants (Maguire and Garfield) do not exist in this universe. I would not be surprised if we saw Doc Oc or Green Goblin again. Same way they completely forgot about the first “Hulk”. 

Chuckles > i86hotdogs 04/24/2019 at 10:03

It seems like they have a good thing going with the current iteration of Spiderman as part of the MCU. It seems silly to not keep him alive moving forward.

I just wish it was easier to enjoy the movies without thinking of them as a product.

For comparison, look at something like Game of Thrones. It's the final season. A battle is on the horizon that will quite possibly have death on the same magnitude as the snap. And I have no idea what's going to happen, because it's not like any of these characters have future movies planned out. In 4 more episodes, it's done.

3 hours of movie; 1.5 hours of tears

Saw it yesterday. I believe it absolutely lived up to the hype. Bummer about those who died, but I thought it was fitting that it go that way. Loved the part with Cap in the end. Absolutely perfect. And that one girl power shot during the final battle was awesome, though some are calling it pandering. It must suck to be so insecure.

I never once felt like the movie dragged. I saw Avatar in theaters, and started getting restless about half way through. This one kept me interested and engaged through all 3 hours. It became a mini game to find connections to the previous movies.

It became a mini game to find connections to the previous movies.

For me, that was one of the fun parts. With the time travel aspect, it was like going back and remembering all the earlier movies, but with a little more context added in. I’m looking forward to seeing it again at home where I can pause it from time to time and look for easter eggs.

Yes I loved that. I want to read up on theories and other discoveries, then watch it again.
