Avengers: Endgame! (No spoilers, please!)
Are you going to see it? Have you been keeping up with the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe or not?
Endgame comes out on Thursday in the US, but I won't be seeing it until Saturday, so here's hoping I can avoid spoilers until then. My friend already had a friend spoil some of it for her because it's out where her friend lives. 😬 I'm sure no one here would do that, though. Anyway, I've seen most of the phase 1 films with the exception of Dr. Strange and Spider-Man: Homecoming. I think that's about it, though. |
I've sort of kept up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in that I've watched all the movies, but whether or not I remember what happened in all of them is another story. [lol];; |
Haha, I don't think I remember everything that's happened either. That would be a lot to remember, and I don't have the best memory sometimes. 😅
Right? I might just avoid most of the internet for like, two days so I don't see any spoilers. |
Same, my memory's not what it once was. [lol] |
Aw, yeah, definitely be careful, then! Parts of Thor: Ragnorak ended up being spoiled for me too since the events of Infinity War directly proceeded what happened in that film and I hadn't seen it before I saw IW. In that case I was okay with it, especially since by the time I got around to seeing Ragnorak (like...last week, haha) I'd forgotten everything anyway. I guess having a bad memory isn't always so bad. 😛
Is that...a table-flipping emoji at the end of your post? |
lol That's like my dad; he forgets movies he's seen soon after he watched them [XD] He says the upside is he can rewatch old movies he's seen before and still feel like it's an entirely new movie. [lol] |
Haha, that's not too bad, then. 😛
Ohhh, I see it now! The table wasn't moving so it didn't make sense to me that it was a table-flipping emoji, but now I get it. xD |
Kinda wish there were a table-flipping emoji now that you mention it...[ninja] |
Me too! /flips table 😛
That would be pretty time-consuming but also fun! I think I saw that some movie theater was screening all...22? of them and it was gonna go for 48 hours, lol. That's a little much for me, all in one go. Oooh, good question! And difficult...I don't know. I've really enjoyed a lot of the more recent ones because I felt like they had a really good balance of humor but also darkness, if that makes sense. And I'll always have a special spot in my heart for the first Captain America, which is what got me into the MCU in the first place. What about you? |
I guess we'll have to make do with the flipping table emoticon (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ [lol] |
Haha, yes, that certainly works for any table-flipping moments that come up! :P
Actually, I think Endgame is the 22nd, so there have been 21 so far. That's still a lot though, obviously, especially when one has work and other things going on. I remember going to Captain America and being like, "This is so not gonna be my cup of tea," but then I loved it and here we are. :D Winter Soldier was so good! I need to rewatch that again. I think I've actually rewatched that one the most of all of them, come to think of it...it just never gets old. I really liked both Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther too! I hope we get to see more of T'Challa in the future. |
Maybe have all the movies ready and then watch one movie a day...it'd take up most of a month but there'd be something to look forward to every day for a while! [lol] |
That would actually be awesome and so much fun (well, to me, anyway).
Haha, now that I'm thinking back and trying to recall what happened, I don't remember a whole lot either... 😬 I'd heard rumors of a Black Panther 2, but I think that could take place before the events of Infinity War even if the movie comes out later, unless I'm remembering the timeline wrong, which is completely likely. 😛 I really have no idea, I had thought maybe there was a phase 4 (since I think Endgame ends Phase 3) but...I could be wrong there too. |
It'd be fun for me too [eager] Though I suspect my family might not be too happy it since I'd be taking up the television. [lol] |
Yeah, it just occurred to me that I'd be hogging the TV too, haha.
Same! There are so many threads to keep track of, so I don't feel too bad about having to Google. I guess it depends how Endgame ends? Maybe phase 4 is just something I made up in my own head. 😛 I want to Google it now, but I'm worried there will be spoilers regarding Endgame and I'll regret it, so I'll wait. Oh wait! I think I saw a guess that Phase 4 delves more into the past. Kind of like how Captain Marvel took place in the 90s. |
Yeah, it's a shame none of my family members are as into the MCU as I am. [sweat] None of my friends seem very interested either, though recently I've found out that one of my coworkers like the MCU so hopefully I'll at least be able to chat with her about MCU stuff. [:P] |
My mom's actually gone with me to a few movies when my one friend has already seen them before me, lol. She didn't really understand them in the context of the universe but I think she enjoyed them by themselves. I did kind of try to explain the universe to her but it was a lot to try and explain. 😛
Yay for avoiding spoilers! 😁 I really enjoyed Captain Marvel. I didn't know too much about the character going in but I definitely learned a lot about her through the film. She's so cool. Yeah, I wanna know more about what happened pre-Thanos as well. Is Venom part of the MCU? I looked it up and didn't really understand if that's the case or not, since I guess it was released by Sony but technically part of a MARVEL universe? I haven't seen that one but I remember hearing a lot of negative things about it. |
lol Yeah, downside to watching the MCU out of order or only watching a few of them is that you can get lost in the larger plot sometimes. [XD] My mom unfortunately considers watching movies a waste of time and money so we rarely go to the theaters. [:(] Occasionally a friend would want to see something and I'd go watch it with them, but as they aren't interested in the MCU it's always movies about something else. [sweat] |
So true!
I used to not go to the movies more than likely, once a year but in the past few years I've gone a lot more often (still not more than probably 6 times a year, though, so definitely not as much as some people) because of MCU and a few other sequel films, mostly. I guess it some ways I did get Wonder Woman vibes from Captain Marvel, mostly in the sense that both star strong, independent female characters, no romantic subplots (although if I remember correctly Wonder Woman might have had hints of one?) and of course, badass superhero stuff. 😁 I just read that Wonder Woman's sequel is going to come out next year and I can't wait! Hm, well, I'll have to watch it and see for myself, then! I do feel like I tend to be way less critical of movies than a lot of people. I try and just enjoy them and figure I'd never make anything nearly as good so who I am to criticize anyway? I mean, unless it's like...really obviously bad or promoting harmful things. |
So.... TLDR [rofl]
I am also trying to avoid all spoilers until Sunday when we see it. With the complete mess that was ordering tickets (we are AMC A-List members), we couldn't get tickets until then. Hm, my top 3 are Guardians Vol 1, Thor: Ragnarok, and Captain America: The First Avenger. |
It's okay, haha. We mostly just talked about what we liked about the MCU and stuff, basically.
Ah, geez, sorry it was a nightmare! I know our local movie theater's website crashed because so many people were trying to buy, so I bought for me and my friend through Fandango instead. Ooh, I liked all of those too! In fact, those are probably up there as my top favorites as well. |
Yeah Wonder Woman had a brief romantic plot but nothing came of it. |
Watched Endgame the other day! :DDDD |
@Nisty: that's what I thought re: Wonder Woman 😬
I'm so excited that you got to see it too! I'm not entirely sure what you could be referring to but I'll say that my eyes were glued to the screen too. It definitely didn't feel like three hours to me. I feel like there was one other non-spoiler thing I wanted to say but with Mene being down I completely forgot what it was. Oh, also, I was glad I just watched Ragnorak a few weeks ago or I wouldn't have understood a few things. |
Yeah they had a lot of Easter eggs where they referred to something that happened in a previous film. [XD] The version I watched was from online and it was all blurry but I got the gist of things. [XD] I plan on rewatching it later, I just wanted to get it over with so I can stop avoiding spoilers everywhere. [gonk] |
