Earlier this week, I decided to see this sucker at 2:30AM Friday morning/Thursday night, especially because one of my favorite seats was available in on one of my favorite theaters at that time. That was a good decision.

So far.

I have to take a huge dump.
 
Saw it.
Loved it.
Want to see again because the theater got really dry and dusty a few times.
What a perfect conclusion.
Your argument is irrelevant.

You ever have one of those weird moments where the words you're reading echo your thoughts? Or did your thoughts echo the words? Are the words or the thoughts making your body react?
Anyhow, I think we are potty cousins now.
 
Endgame was AWESOME. Like, I can't believe they were somehow able to turn it into a movie????

Going full spoilers here because if you haven't seen it by now, I don't know what to tell you....


***SPOILERS***

My only complaint is Nat's death and the not much of a reaction from the rest of the team? That bummed me out, but other than that, it was UNREAL. The scene with everyone coming out of the portals was ****ing insane and I couldn't believe I was watching an actual movie. Amazing.

I'm trying not to think too much about the time travel logistics, because otherwise things aren't going to make sense and I'm trying to just let it be and enjoy the awesomeness.
 
Saw it twice, liked it both times.

There is a surprising amount of good character work in this. The fact that we've seen so much of these characters already in past films, and we know them and their motivations, they can make big decisions with minimal onscreen explanation and their motivations make a lot of sense.

Even after multiple viewings, you can find or remember little things from previous appearances that add depth to what they did here. The continuity to result in something like this, really, over this much time, is astounding.

And for a 3 hour movie, it kinda just kept moving.

As far as I'm concerned, any timeline would ultimately be self-preserving.

You can't go back and kill baby Hitler because, once he's dead, the future changes so that there's no reason for anyone to go back and kill baby Hitler. So he grows up to be Hitler, and then you have to go back and try to kill him.

Rather, any change to a timeline creates a new future, in something like an alternate reality, where you've killed baby Hitler and then a new timeline springs forward from that. If you do want to go back to where you came from, you can only go back to the point from which you came. So you went back, killed baby Hitler, and then came back to the timeline in which nothing has changed for you and Hitler still grew up.


This falls in line with Tilda Swinton's explanation, where you can change the future, but ultimately you can't fundamentally change the past. Otherwise, a new reality branches off and time kinda cracks.

The interesting part comes with the Thanos gang coming forward, which is itself a branch now, of the future. So when they put the Stones back, it essentially clips that branch, leaving now past Gamora in the present, while still leaving past Gamora and the rest of the Thanos gang still back in the past.

Yeah, it's difficult to think of this as any kind of singular movie, even with it's own arc. It's just a thoroughly satisfying end that managed a ton of comic-centric surprises with genuine highly emotional responses for good and sad reasons. It's also one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It somehow manages to be a laugh riot, encourages sincere sci-fi logic discussions, rewards hero worship and ends decade-long plots while setting up future arcs all at the same time. It's a hell of a movie and a remarkable accomplishment.

Nebula. That's the flaw in the theory. Whatever because paradoxes will always happen, but it's still one.
