I thought that’s what they did? Isn’t the last scene him and the family practicing what his New York life will be like?

Martin is not the GOT showrunner; ensuring the show is any good is not his responsibility.

Not when the heroes are on a single mission to stop the greatest threat of all time. It would be as if the portal on the Death Star simply malfunctioned on it own.

I actually did see that. Much bloodier and more of a downer than I expected.

I think the reason for the unkempt street is not that society has broken down (clearly it has not), but that that particular neighborhood has been more or less abandoned. With the population suddenly cut in half, you’ll have a lot of excess housing capacity.

Scifi machinery (or occult artifacts) that sits dormant and forgotten somewhere until activated by chance is such a trope in itself that it doesn’t qualify as a deus ex machina: it’s enough of a genre staple to not be unexpected.

After a couple of hours of reading the Endgame AVC comment sections, your comment is the first that has a full, correct understanding and clear explanation of how the time travel and alternate timelines work. (A lot of people seem to get it almost right, but then assume that Steve “went the long way round” living his

the one “signatory” avenger - the only female, the only one deprived of a feature film, and the one who was the most interesting character in Act 1 - ending up the way she did.

But, 2014 Thanos gets killed before he can do the snap in 2018, so Infinity War never should have happened.

The point of Cap replacing the stones was to stop bad alternate timelines, not alternate timelines in general.

It didn’t set a precedent for the style of the MCU movies, but it was clearly an important step in the rise of comic book movies (and Marvel specifically) to the cultural juggernaut they are today.

And of course, Miracleman’s true and original name is Marvelman. It was changed (originally only in US publication: the lettering in the “Miracle” part was noticeably cramped) to avoid legal trouble with Marvel (decades before they ended up with the rights).

I’d go more the opposite way. Thinking in tiers:

You’re right, and I think it’s interesting that this list seems to have arrived at some sort of compromise where nobody disagrees all that vehemently with anything.

Yeah, an idiom that means what This Guy Fawkes said.

Just give me the 20th Century Fox fanfare at the start and you can have my money, Disney!

Well, I might actually prefer Incredible Hulk to Infinity War (which is an impressive feat of juggling characters but a boring film), but it’s definitely one of the lesser entries in the MCU. Better than Ultron and IM2 (and presumably Thor 2, the only Marvel movie I haven’t seen), somewhere a bit below the first Thor

I was gonna say. Also, this reminds me of the Sherlock Holmes story “The Adventures of the Six Napoleons”, where Lestrade comments:

Does anyone remember the show Mister Sterling with Josh Brolin? I always thought the premise borrowed a lot from this film, though it spun it in a much more optimistic direction.
