Ruffalo's mouth looks weird.

Yeah, I think Ruffalo's mouth is just crooked and I never noticed until it was blown up to the size of a summer squash.

The weird thing with the main battle is that you have this huge all-in battle over a fairly small ground and still they had enough time and space to have little one on one talks and duels whereas it should be just a huge melee/mess.

eheh, yes, of course I know that like many other things, you just have to accept this is how it goes in this universe...and I think I haven't read a comic book since... the 80s !

I think at the beginning of the main battle, there's a moment with Star-Lord (?) when they just talk for a little while and there's NOBODY around them...

Comic superheroes frequently engage in a sprightly half hour monologue while engaging in a bout of fisticuffs that couldn't possibly last more than a few minutes. It's like a secondary superpower.

i really enjoyed Paul Rudd's bewildered take on everything. refreshingly human in the midst of all this steely confidence.
can't agree that the CGI faces looked good. they looked bad.

Finally got around to seeing this last night. This was pretty good, about as good as an ensemble superhero movie could probably get.
― silverfish, Friday, 24 May 2019 17:37 (four years ago) link
It held up on a rewatch pretty well too. Still think going quiet for the first hour was the key move.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 24 May 2019 17:51 (four years ago) link
yeah, I think having the avengers immediately going out and easily killing Thanos and then not knowing what to do next was pretty effective for setting the right mood

Getting very close to Avatar now in All Time Worldwide.
Is there a reason for the discrepancy between this and Force Awakens in terms of the split between US/Overseas takings?

Endgame seems to be doing much better in China: almost 1/3 of its non-US profits are from there, whereas with Force Awakens the same number was 1/10... And for Last Jedi the ratio is even less than one tenth. Apparently Star Wars just isn't that big in China, mostly because the original trilogy never made it to the cinemas there, so SW never became a big cultural phenomenon.

Also, calculating average ticket prices in 2019, that incel who saw it 200 times spent $1,802 of his parents' dinero to achieve this epic, historic goal.

Author kept his shade in check for most of the piece but ...
So Endgame may or may not have actually made more money than Avatar, even if we pretend that the two competed on even footing. Oh, and Avatar stands a good chance of reclaiming the record if, as expected, it’s re-released again in advance of 2021’s Avatar 2. All of that argues against making too much of this, but “it’s an important part of the industry, just from a marketing perspective,” Nash says. “The studios benefit from being able to say that they’re breaking records.”
That doesn’t mean we consumers have to swallow that line, but it’s fun to feel like a winner, if only by being associated with one; Martin mentions that it’s “cool as a fan to be able to be a part of something big, such as helping a movie that is one for the ages.” If Avatar ever reclaims the top spot, he says, he’ll still take consolation in knowing that Endgame “was no. 1 at one point in time.”

My reaction is roughly comparable to instances of mid-level employees hip-hip-hooraying about their company achieving some financial goal which will (by design) not affect the hooray-ers in any material way. And that reaction is: sad.

“If you bought a ticket to see Endgame in theaters, congratulations, hero,” Douglass says before signing off. Not all heroes wear capes. Some go see blockbusters 200 times.
LOL, I was reading the whole piece thinking "forget Avatar: Endgame, give Jack Douglass the Oscar."

"but it’s fun to feel like a winner, if only by being associated with one" is the entire rationale behind following soccer teams (as wells as other sports probably, idk)

So I finally watched this. It's...ok! It was kinda fun having only seen a handful of the movies leading up to it (the Guardians ones, the last Thor, Infinity War, maybe one of the other Avengers movies, an Iron Man or two), in the same way that reading a random comic and having to infer or imagine what all the references mean is fun.
For most of the movie my partner thought that "Bucky" was a weird nickname that Captain America had for the woman he left behind in the past.

Never read the books, but based on the plot description, doesn't "Left Behind for superheroes" apply better to Endgame? Since that one deals with the actual repercussions of Thanos's fingersnap?
