My friend at work said to me today “I want to go see the new Avengers movie, but I’ve never seen a Marvel movie before. Should I still see it?” I told him at the very least he should see Infinity War first, but if he had time, he should watch Iron Man 1, Winter Soldier, Guardians, Civil War, Avengers and IW, and…

I don’t think you were paying attention. She didn’t die like the others. Her sacrifice made the soul stone possible, just like Gamora. Also the Asgardians killed prior to the end of Infinity, and Vision. Only the snapped were resurrected.

Only one other character died in a “similar way,” Gamora, and she is still dead. It’s her past self that now lives in the current time, but the one that died was not brought back. 

If there was ever a time to finally drop the take that the Marvel movies just get more convoluted for “regular fans” to understand as opposed to the superfans, you’d think it would have been after the supposed most insular of them all did $1.2 billion worth of business in 72 hours, but go off I guess.

And Lindsay Lohan! I know her personal (and professional) life is a mess, but she can actually act.

I’ve had friends reach out to me this week to get guidance on what’s the minimum MCU intake that you have to have to be able to follow the story in Endgame. My answer was that Infinity War was the the BARE minimum, and a combination of Avengers/Age of Ultron/Civil War/Infinity War would probably be the least I would…

“Non-fan” here. A good friend had an extra ticket and invited me to go along.

Precisely. I loved the film - but I’ve been a Marvel fanboy for (good god, has it really been) 47 years, seen every movie in the MCU at least once - this movie was made for me. Now I convinced a friend - a normy, a guy who likes to watch quality TV with his wife, who saw a couple of the previous movies and was…

This is just like when I watched the series finale of Lost without having seen any other episode of the series.  

One of my co-workers is planning on seeing Endgame tonight. She also mentioned that she hadn’t seen Infinity War, but she had seen an Iron Man movie.

“I don’t begrudge anyone who was moved by Endgame’s girl power moment in a way I wasn’t.”

Pretty much my whole theater loved it.

My thought process as they all started showing up was: “It’s the ladies! Will it be all of them? That’s a bit contrived.... Fuck it, I don’t care, this is great.”

Oh, absolutely. I’m pretty sure she hated her children, just going by how she treated them. And wasn’t there something (a letter, maybe?) where she griped that she loved gettin’ it on with Albert but was pissed off that it meant she kept getting pregnant with kids she didn’t want?

Celebitchy also takes a lot of liberties with the truth. 

He cheated prior to them getting married, and she has made it clear she’s not going anywhere no matter what so I see his parents marriage repeating itself minus Diana not taking this shit.

I think it’s possible Will cheated. Since the start of their relationship, he has basically played a game of push and pull with Kate. Will has always been confident that Kate will be there no matter what he does. He publicly hooked up with other women while they were dating and Kate just ignored it.

Honestly I was mostly happy with the screen time all the female characters got(Nat taking over the avengers missions, Nebula’s arc, etc), and my theatre cheered when Carol showed up both times. But I wish they had sent out a little pyre of ballet shoes for Nat(she had a pair on her desk in the film) with Tony’s…

when it quickly became clear that despite their prominent placement on the film’s poster, Okoye and Carol Danvers weren’t actually going to be major players in the plot

That doesn’t make much sense. William looked happy for them at the wedding, this “doesn’t approve of Meghan” surfaced much later and doesn’t match the timeline at all. 

Victoria and Albert’s modern, respectable love

I’m not big on the royals as a whole but you can’t escape news reports in the U.K. about them. I’ve been thinking that the real reason of a rift between Harry and William is because of Williams affair. I think that would anger Harry and not because William didn’t approve of Meghan. Though who knows if there is a rift,…
