Well, those are super powers, aren’t they? That’s the fantastical element of superhero movies that you must accept to enjoy the films.

Sure, there were no planes flying in the air at the time of the snap.

Are you about to offer some sort of statistics analysis that argues that Cinnabuns’ business could have been potential uninterrupted by the snap?

Spidey’s powers make sense within in universe, it’s called suspension of disbelief. But no suspension of disbelief can explain away how half the earth was murdered, shit went to hell for five years, and five seconds after they’re magically resurrected it’s as if nothing ever happened.

Tell that to the people on the planes where the pilots were snapped out of existence. There would have been millions of deaths after the snap from the chaos caused by the snap.

Trying to make sense of half the world dying, and then being magically resurrected five years later, with all of the global catastrophes that would surely entail, is “the little stuff”??

The resolution of Endgame was silly, and now everything that happens after it is infected with that silliness. Absent Gunn or Wakatiti turning in another episode, I won’t be watching Marvel again. It’s just fucking dumb.

Right, and in this movie, all those dead people just head right back to school, and then on a field trip to another continent!  “Gee son, you’ve been dead for five years, but sure, why not take a field trip without me.  I don’t have any lingering worry or trauma from the fact that I mourned your death for five years!”

Because during the five years when half the world was dead Venice’s condition stayed basically the same.

Yeah, except as this movie shows, NOTHING’S CHANGED. Sure son, you were dead for five years, why not take a trip to Europe! The airlines, hotels, food production, sanitation—all of those things are instantly exactly as they were before!

You don’t think airfares went up after the flying population was cut in half for five years, then magically reappeared? They were instantly able to ramp up flights so that everyone who wanted to fly had a seat?

Well, and that’s the answer to every obvious question raised by Marvel’s silliness—don’t question it, brah, just go with it!

Yeah, good thing her job wasn’t affected in any way by half the world being dead for five years!  Guess that Cinnabuns weathered the storm just fine.

So half of the world was dead for five years—food production cut by half, transportation system collapsed, mass depression; etc.—and the moment they’re brought back to life these parents let their children go on a field trip to another continent? And Europe’s tourist industry is just up and running again? Business as

As in Infinity War, if Thor’s on the ship, Starlord is rendered moot. Thor’s funnier, stronger, better looking, and has actual powers. At this point, Starlord is a bro with flying shoes and a pew-pew laser.

Damn! That’s better than when I was there during the reservation period. Unless you were prepared to stiff arm some old ladies and children, you were basically fucked to get into the Cantina, as I was, which was a bummer.

Well, you sound really intelligent, so your opinion matters a lot to me.

And far more importantly, Lea Thompson in all her fully naked glory.

Ah, I’m an idiot.  Though you still have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to watch the show, and fuck that.

The script is beyond silly, the characters dumb as rocks, and it goes exactly where you think it’s going. Here’s hoping he made substantial changes during filming.
