Endgame discussion thread *SPOILERS*
- Thread starter Cal's Stroops
- Start date
I knew it was Cap sitting on the bench.
Cap disappears, doesn't reappear when he's supposed to, then an old man randomly shows up out of nowhere. Pretty easy pieces to connect imo
I dont read the comics, but man it sure seems like Bucky would have been a far better replacement for Captain America than Falcon. Falcon has no super strength or any human upgrades
Bucky either knew of Cap's plan before he left or suspected it with the way he said goodbye.
Both Bucky and Falcon have been Captain America in the comics at some point.
They could make a really interesting movie of just Cap returning the infinity stones as it probably wasn't easy.

They need to at least make a short showing him returning the soul stone to the Red Skull (with "Curb Your Enthusiasm" music in accompaniment).
Scene: Captain America is on planet Vormir. Red Skull, with nothing left to guard anymore, is eating lunch and checking Facebook.
CAP: Hi. I'd like to return this.
RS: *playing on his phone* Do you have a receipt?
CAP: No. It was a ... gift.
RS: OK. May I see your driver's license?
CAP: No. It's in my other uniform.
RS: I'll need some ID. *looks up* aw. You've got to be kidding me.
CAP: Look, I know this is awkward, but I need to return this quickly.
RS: So you're telling me that we fought like animals over ONE infinity stone, and now you want to bring ANOTHER infinity stone back? Un.Be.Lieveable .....
CAP: I really don't have time for th ...
RS: Is that a time travel joke?!?!
CAP: Man, I don't want to cause any trouble. Can I return it or not?
RS: *resigned* ... fine ... how much did it cost?
CAP: ... everything ...
RS: GODDAM ...

MOVIE URBAN LEGEND: Brie Larson said that Captain Marvel was "not made for" white men.
Captain Marvel came out this weekend and boy, it sure has not been received particularly well in certain circles, has it? There have been all sorts of campaigns against the film and one of the reasons that gets constantly brought up is that Brie Larson made some comments about the film that offended some people. My pal Joshua L., though, suggested to me that it might be a good idea to actually examine whether Brie Larson actually saidthe comments that so enraged people.
First off, no, Larson never even remotely said something like "I don't want white men to watch Captain Marvel." That's completely made up out of whole cloth. Not that the other things that people are referring to weren't also basically lies, but at least there is something that was misconstrued rather than just completely made up like Larson saying "I don't want white men to watch Captain Marvel." I mean, come on, folks, does that sound like something that anyone would ever actually say?
Now the more complicated one. Did Brie Larson say that Captain Marvel "wasn't made for" white men?
No, she did not. However, last year, she did make comments along those lines about the film, A Wrinkle in Time. When the film was released, it received mixed reviews, and people noted that the reviews seemed split among gender and race. In other words, in general its most vocal critics were white male critics and its most vocal proponents were, well, not white male critics.
Larson commented on that discrepancy at an event, noting, "I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of color, biracial women, to teen women of color.”
Even at that very same event, Larson elaborated on her initial comment, stating, “Am I saying I hate white dudes? No, I am not. What I am saying is if you make a movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie, and review your movie.”
Larson took that viewpoint further during the press coverage of Captain Marvel, noting that she made a point to specifically add more access to diverse reporters during her press days. She explained, "About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly white male. So, I spoke to Dr Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive. After speaking with you, the film critic Valerie Complex and a few other women of colour, it sounded like across the board they weren’t getting the same opportunities as others. When I talked to the facilities that weren’t providing it, they all had different excuses." As Larson later elaborated, that simply meant adding additional access to diverse reporters and did not mean restricting access to white male reporters.
That is the extent of the "offensive" comments made by Brie Larson during the press lead-up to Captain Marvel.
So, did she say that Captain Marvel "wasn't made for" white men? No, she did not.

^ Bit of an "I love you 3000" link there.
That's what I was thinking earlier. So is it a coincidence or some weird plan by Marvel?
I think Marvel did it on purpose. Her saying I love you 3000 was probably a way of Marvel also saying to the fans thanks for watching 3000 min of our movies. The whole movie was a fan service.
Captain America is supposed to be a symbol........ Can a terrorist really become that ?????? The avengers and the audience know that it was brainwashing but the world in the MCU just knows Bucky as a terrorist and murderer. Also I dont think Falcon will be captain america.... I think he'll just be Falcon that carries the shield ..doing his flying stunts and just using the shield to block attacks.
I looked up this list and it seems pretty good.
The Definitive Chronological Viewing Order For The Marvel Cinematic Universe
In your link
- This is NOT a recommendation for a viewing order if this is your first time through the MCU, it’s simply a broad look at the timeline so far. If you’re looking for a more enjoyable way to take in these stories, I’d recommend watching the films in release order, peppering in the various TV seasons as you see fit.
New Spider-Man trailer seems to add to the closure of Endgame and expands on the multiple realities caused by snaps.

Now I'm jonesing for the Spider-Man movie. [laughing] I always thought Mysterio was a villain. So I am guessing something happens between the start and end of this movie to turn him against Spider-Man. It probably leads to the Sinister 6 storyline going beyond this movie. That seems like a lot to pile into 2 movies so maybe Spider-Man gets more than 3 standalone movies unlike the other characters.
I really like Tom Holland's Spiderman and hope that Sony does not take him back. I'd really like to see him continue the MCU like Iron Man did. I'd like to see more continuation and not a reboot.
I'd have rather sat through 3 hours of Iron Man 2 instead of this tin can piece of ****.
Alright time to get started
Captain America: The First Avenger
Watched the first Avenger again after buying the captain america 3 movie collection on google play for $36. I watched it back when it came out but didn't get into because my daughter was only 6 at the time and she was not into MCU yet.
Agent Carter (Seasons 1 & 2) - available on Hulu. Just started ep 1 of season 1. Stark on trial for selling weapons to the enemy.
Read thru the majority of this thread,interesting to say the least.
Any comic collectors in the crowd,I've recently dragged out my old comics and gone thru them just for fun and found it very enjoyable.It took me back a long way(almost like time travel)

Yeah, like time travel. Some of those special issues... I can remember exactly when and where I was when I read them.
Living in the boonies during pre-intrawebz, I had a stack of comics mailed every month from Mile High Comics in Denver, CO. After Mile High, I think I switched to a business named Westfield? Haven't thought of those companies in years.
Stopped reading/collecting a long time ago... but Endgame has me wanting to find my issues of Avengers Annual #7 -&- Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2. I'm a little disappointed that the Thanos movies skipped over all of the Adam Warlock* connections, since they teased it in the GOTG 2 end credits.
(*That run by Jim Starlin was incredible, especially his twist on Warlock's death.)
UK basketball and comics were the highlights of my childhood,getting out the old ASM's and Hero for Hire along with Ghost Riders have helped me recapture a bit of my youth.
For me, Amazing Spider-Man was IT... I wanted anything and everything I could get my hands on. Issue #100 is one of the first issues I remember reading over and over... with that last panel* revealing Peter Parker with four extra arms. I was hooked! UK basketball and the Reds completed the trifecta of my youth.
During summer trips to visit family in Kentucky, I waited for the chance to go to the Richwood or Georgetown flea markets. Those were the only times I could pick up back issues of Spider-Man. Seems strange now, but once we found a comic book booth, my relatives knew they could leave me for an hour and wander around the rest of the lot. This was during my 9-13 yrs range... definitely different times.
(*Gil Kane's artwork will always be a favorite.)
Might need to start a thread just for the comic book fans.
I sold all of my comics when I was a teenager who wanted money for something else. Been regretting that ever since. I feel like I lost a big part of my childhood when I think about that. Stan Lee played a huge role on me with all of his comic book creations.
I know in one of our R.I.P. threads I mentioned that Stan Lee was an actual celebrity that made me feel sad about his death because of the impact he had on me growing up. Most celebrity deaths don't really bother me but that one almost felt like a family member dying. I'm glad he got to pretty much see what he helped create all the way to the End(game).
