Avengers Endgame is fantastic! I was so glad to be able to catch it on opening day, and not have anything spoiled for me... and how refreshing to have a movie that didn't give too much away in the trailers. The three hour run time flew by, and most everybody got a chance to shine, especially the original roster of Avengers from the first film. I was also glad to see Ant-Man provide a pivotal role and some much needed comic relief (Still laughing at "Not it"). The final battle was epic in all of the right ways, with several cheer out loud moments. While there was a fitting wrap up to many character arcs and story lines from the past decade, there are some tantalizing set ups for where the MCU will go next. I'm keeping this vague because I want everyone to enjoy it unspoiled the way I did... so if you haven't already, make sure you go and check it out on a nice big screen!
"Alas, poor Yorick..." Wait... That line is supposed to be Hamlet, not the ghost.
ReplyDeleteWould be great
DeleteNow I am trying to be vague here because there are people who have not seen the movie yet. There was a line in Avengers: Endgame where someone says "Is that everyone?" and the response I think was "You want more?"
ReplyDeleteNow if the answer was "Yes!" could you consider a cover that could be an answer to that?
Thanos and the Spectre seem like perfect antagonists. I can't imagine how Thanos would protect himself against Thanos, but I am sure he would come up with an effective way of doing so.

@Ordinaryguy2: he'd probably form an alliance with Chaos!/Dynamite's Lady Death.
ReplyDelete@Ross: I saw this past Saturday, myself. Definitely 10 out of ten stars! Just one spoiler: that young man standing behind the Scarlet Witch towards the end? It ain't Quicksilver. Back track to "Iron Man 3" @ imdb.
Just a clarification: Lady Death is the only character from the Chaos! library that Dynamite doesn't own. That's why they use their own version of Hela for Evil Ernie's origin.
Delete@Carycomic: "track back to IM3". Do we have to? Sorry, but the Mandarin was one of my favorite villains back in the day, and I just totally hated what they did to him in that film. As far as I'm concerned, its the worst of the MCU entries.
ReplyDeleteBTW, in the recent Iron Man films, the Mandarin was depicted as caucasian, as opposed to Asian, in ethnicity; the same goes for a recent Flash Gordon TV program (though he had a personality as scary as the original).
ReplyDeleteMy audience went nuts over the elevator scene, but my own moments of victory were the surprise save done by Captain America (mostly in how he did it), and seeing a certain winged horse. The brief nod to A-Force was pretty awesome as well.
ReplyDelete@Jay Johnson: no, not everybody. Just you. ;-D
ReplyDeleteAs to how Thanos could have gotten control over the Spectre? I'm thinking maybe a clone of Jim Corrigan's original body with one of the Controller's Saturnian-made slave discs on it. Powered, perhaps, by a pebble-sized fragment of Wundagorian clay!
After all, it's now considered canon that Genis-Vell was simply a clone of Mar-Vell (made by the latter's girlfriend, Elysia...or whatever her name was). So, the Eternals of Titans are proven masters of cloning! And, as we all know, the irradiated clay of Mount Wundagore is also contaminated with the eldritch energies of Chthon. So, mind-controlling double-whammy right there.
Light-hearted digression, here.
ReplyDeleteHow about Megaton Man angrily scowling and growling at Superman and Cyclops of the X-men over their "plagiarism" of his costume?
VAGUE SPOILER ALERT (Maybe?) Was I the only man singing to the song as they danced (Aint talkin' 'bout Quill here.) toward the end? Was anyone else disappointed that there was no extra scene after the credits? That Old Yeller moment though. Best doggone dog in the west. Hey I just realized Old Yeller was a Disney Movie! How can Batman top that? END Of Spoiler? (was it a Spoiler? I'll leave that for you to decide.) Alert? Vague Notion? Inkling? Obfuscation? Well at least I know it was a comment.
ReplyDeleteDo a cover with The Fashion Model Teen Dream Katy Keene (Archie Comics the 1945 version), Darth Vader (Marvel, Dark Horse, Marvel), and G'Nort (DC The 1990's stoner version).
ReplyDeleteBrother K: Most of my theater's audience seemed disappointed at the lack of a post-credits scene, though I found out afterward that there was a little sound effect with special meaning.
ReplyDeletePersonally, my only disappointment was the absence of a certain flerken.
@Bob Greewade The flerken I so wanted to see Rocket hunt that down. I heard the sond effect and it reminded me of the long delayed Surtur event in The Mighty Thor. But that's impossible! Or is it?
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade I forgot the species name until I read flerken in your comment. SIDE NOTE: Miss Spider-Woman Agent of S.W.O.R.D.
ReplyDelete@Bigby: Darn! I wasn't aware of that. :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks, dude! :-)

I'd rather see a team-up between G'nort and Super Goof...
@Jay Johnson: I think Cary was merely suggesting a quick perusal of the cast listing for that movie at IMDB.
ReplyDelete`@Simreeve that sounds dull and predictable to me.
ReplyDelete@Brother Kellyetc.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, redundant.
@Anonymous 1014: "A redundancy differs from an oxymoron in that the latter is a contradiction in terms (like 'jumbo shrimp') while the former is two different names for the same thing (like 'criminal lawyer'). Of course, some words can go either way. For instance; newlyweds consider the phrase 'happily married' redundant. While battle-scarred veterans consider it oxymoronic."
