Avengers: Infinity War

I gotta say though, Old Steve Rogers was maybe the best onscreen aging I've seen in film -- couldn't tell if it was makeup, digital or a combination.

xp nah, just the end of the Mets

Guys, guys, Cap+Peggy 2-gether 4-ever is an alternate timeline, not the one where she marries some rando and has a niece named Sharon.

honestlt thought Ol Cap was being played by Clint Eastwood for a few seconds

xpost how did he end up back in the original timeline as an old man then if this is a new timeline? (i don't actually want an answer cause this shit makes no sense at all.)

and also that only works if we're sure that Sharon's a niece from her not-Cap husband's side. i don't think it was ever mentioned lol.

Bruce said that it would seem to them that Cap was only gone for five seconds but that it would take him as long as it took to get all the gems back to their proper places (plus one unplanned decades-long side trip spent with his lady friend).

no its the current timeline but hes d-low looped back in

That's not how Endgame-rules time travel works.

An acquaintance of Facebook that I keep forgetting to unfollow posted this ridiculous comment about Stan Lee rolling in his grave and the "PC police / MSNBC writers" "destroying" the MCU.

When someone with more time and commitment than I pressed him on it, guess which two shots he very specifically hated about the movie?

I'm only sort of joking when I say all comicsgaters should be chemically castrated.

Like as if it's not enough to be a gross douche, you have to support your gross douchedom by demonstrating active ignorance of decades of comics history.

^^^ This. I know Stan was far from perfect, but it's so weird to see him suddenly trotted out as if he were going to be railing against diversity in the MCU casting.

Is a fake Stan going to continue to be inserted in Marvel films wherever they can find an excuse to do so?
Had just thought the tradition might have a natural end. Nuff said , like.

Hey, this AVENGERS ENDGAME thing sounds pretty cool. Anybody know where I can read an article about it?

^fanfic

I saw this last night

a) Loved it

b) cried my face off for almost the entire second half of the movie #saddo

c) I love you 3000 ;_;

"When someone with more time and commitment than I pressed him on it, guess which two shots he very specifically hated about the movie?"

the scene with all the women heroes advancing and....beats the fuck out of me but probably something with Captain Marvel.

and her new butch haircut

That she’s had in the comics for years

america’s ass was the other one, i’d guess

i'm assuming the "cap moderates a survivor's group" bit

God knows. Cap passing off the shield to a non-white person? Or perhaps the fact that he didn't make an 'ew' face when a dude talked about dating another dude? Who knows what's gonna trigger these emotional infants, and, frankly, who gives a fuck? I hope the Avengers will have made the full transition into the Rainbow Squad of Inclusion five years from now just to give the regressives a series of debilitating coronaries.

Old Lunch hit it with the first guess.

I'm assuming Captain Marvel just pissed him off in general, but he was really insistent that Captain American has to be white.

i'm curious if Sam is really going to be Captain America given that we already know Falcon is getting his own show on Disney with Hawkeye. Or will it be Hawkeye and Captain Sam? I dunno!

I"m glad Anthony Mackie will be around longer though and get some more character development since I think he's a good actor.

He's going to be super pissed when Tessa Thompson becomes Thor in the next phase xp

Yeah, Sam was one of the characters that really grew on me as I was rewatching the other movies with my son.

Oh god, yes. I unfollowed him today, so he'll have to rage without me. I can't deal with these comicsgaters.

those bits were eye-rolly and lame because cynical and forced but feeling any more strongly than that about em is desperately sad

lots of the movie was eyerolly and lame, pick yr battles like

He's going to be super pissed when Tessa Thompson becomes Thor in the next phase xp

For those who didn't already know, Sam Wilson was Captain America in the comics for several years

So, if you knew anything about the source material, you saw that transition coming when they introduced Sam in the first place

(Particularly when Bucky, who has also been Captain America in the comics, was all "no dude, this is you" when old Cap showed up)

btw I really liked this movie a lot, I just wish it had put in more super pissed Wanda

Probably read Art of the Deal lately

Has he... read a comic book recently? Sam’s run with the shield is canon.

Of course he probably hasn't. I'd be shocked if he's ever cracked a comic book, I'm sure it's any excuse to bitch about "PC culture run amok".

These are really weird in that there are about 12 movies-worth of potentially interesting material they couldn't film or show in order to fit the 3hr run-time (e.g. Cap's Excellent Replacing the Stones Adventure, Black Widow's Superteam Management Seminar, Hawkeye Murders the Remaining 50% of the NY Mets, etc...)

I wonder if it's possible to compress a comic book movie to the point where almost everything happens offscreen and cut half the budget in effects savings.

Kinda cool

i noticed that and i thought i was going crazy

anyway, this was fun--up its own ass in a good way.

i'm told howard the duck is in the final battle scene somewhere.

when the wasp shows up

he's to her left/our right with a gun?!

Now he's on Earth he can cameo in every future MCU film more easily.

the behavior approvingly described in this article is just shy of psychotic

https://news.avclub.com/mans-year-long-quest-to-pay-back-the-troll-who-spoiled-1834487235

it's totally psychotic. he also had his phone out taking pictures of the screen throughout the movie

Ehh, this sounds fake.

Making this up would be almost as pathetic

we, a culture-consuming society,

Was gonna make a snark but what can you even do with a line like that but transcribe it verbatim, really.

what kind of mind is that
