Marvel's Movie/TV Universe v2 (SPOILERS)

[ariich]

First reactions from the premiere are pretty ridiculously positive!

[jingle.boy]

I just watched Ragnarok myself last night.  I totally see your points Adami, and once again, can't disagree with them too much.  My likes that you didn't mention - the opening battle for Surtur.

My additional beefs - I think the Fenris/Hulk fight could've had a bit more 'oomph' to it.  I wish the loss of Thor's eye had been more meaningful (and NOT CG) given it's significance in the comics.  I wish there had been the Warbound instead of just Korg and Meek - and the latter being nothing by caricatures to deliver a punchline.

Still, very good movie that was a great segue into IW.

Also, why do they NEVER refer to it as Mjolnir?  I think it may have been called by name in Thor, but every other movie refers to it as 'hammer'.  IT HAS A FUCKING NAME!

[Orbert]

Because most people wouldn't remember the name, many who do would still pronounce it wrong, and fewer still could spell it correctly.  In the comics you see the word written over and over, so it sinks in.  In the movies, every time they said it, most people would say "What? What is it called again?" and miss a few minutes of dialogue.  Every time.

[The Walrus]

I still think Thor: Ragnarok is one of the best MCU films. While there are moments I tune out, overall, it's an incredibly fun flick with some genuine, organic humor. Love the buddy comedy aspect of it, Hulk is easily cooler and better in every way than in any prior film, and Jeff Goldblum is captivating.

Black Panther I enjoyed on the first watch but it tanked on the second. Really don't like that film, it's not bad, it's just so freaking blah.

[Adami]

First reactions from the premiere are pretty ridiculously positive!

Yea. Premier was last night. So tons of people I follow on youtube/twitter are giving initial reactions and they are 100% glowing.

I just watched a non-spoiler review of two people that I thought, if ANYONE can deflate the hype, it's these two. And they said that they actually cried during the movie and can't imagine how they pulled off such a great movie.

So I'm pumped.

[hefdaddy42]

Same.  I just read a lot of comments and I can't wait.

[Zook]

Just got back from Endgame. I can't believe Qui-Gon Jinn dies!

[Adami]

Just got back from Endgame. I can't believe Qui-Gon Jinn dies!

DUDE! SPOILERS!

I didn't even know Qui Gon Jinn survived Infinity War!

[Adami]

I also heard a funny comment that Star Wars episode IX should have been called Endgame, and the final episode to GoT should be called Endgame.

[Zook]

There's a terrible Taylor Swift song called Endgame. It's even worse than Bad Blood off her previous album.

[Adami]

So a lot of people who saw the movie are saying that the trailers spoil absolutely nothing what so ever about the film, so that's a relief.


They also confirmed that Ant-Man shrinks down, goes up Thanos' butt and enlarges to win the day.

[gzarruk]

I saw something that could be a spoiler on the official Avengers Instagram account (it was a post, not a comment, I'm avoiding comment sections like the plague). I won't post it here, but it looks like I'm gonna have to start avoiding all kinds of social media untill I get to see it this friday

[ariich]

Seeing the people who attended the premiere was interesting if it reveals anything about appearances in the movie, although of course there's a perfectly good chance it doesn't at all. I won't post details in case that counts as potential spoilers.

[soupytwist]

96% on Rottentomatoes this morning.   I avoided reading any of the reviews though, tickets booked for Sunday midday, so I'll be watching Endgame and Battle of Winterfell within hours of each other - I think I'll be an emotional wreck by Monday.,..

[aurorablind]

Sitting in the theatre now. Endgame in ten minutes. I dont know if I'm ready 

[Polarbear]

Saturday for me! Cant wait!

[erwinrafael]

Finally watched it. I cried.

[aurorablind]

Fantastic. Absolutely perfect.

[Adami]

Just a quick idea, can we all agree to hold off on spoilers or keep it to small font til maybe Monday? I'm seeing it Friday, but I know it's not easy for everyone to see immediately. Just an idea.

[bosk1]

Let's say:  No spoilers in this thread for two weeks after official release this Friday.

NO SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD until May 10th.  I will start a separate Endgame thread for spoilery discussion and will just merge them on the 10th.

[bosk1]

LET'S KEEP THE MARVEL THREAD SPOILER FREE UNTIL MAY 10TH.  POST ALL SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD ONLY.

Because some people cannot see it right away and don't want to be spoiled, let's keep the other thread spoiler free until 2 weeks from release date.  I will then merge the threads.

[aurorablind]

Best MCU-moment ever:
"Avengers!" *music stops*...."Assemble"

[ariich]

Good thinking bosk, I've also updated this thread's title to make the distinction as clear as possible.

[lonestar]

May wanna change this threads title then.. Just saying...

Thank you.  I am not seeing it until April 30th, so it's good to know I will have a safe space.

[The Walrus]

Everyone hide in the crypts of the Avengers' tower! It's safe there! Wait...

Also me.

[ErHaO]

Spoiler free, offcourse:

Saw it today, what a blast! The film takes many unexpected turns. Even if you have some indication to where the plot is going beforehand, the film will catch you offguard several times. And it does some ballsy things. I love Infinity War and this one is even better.

Avoid spoilers at all costs and it definitely pays off if you have seen all the preceding films. Every film serves a part in the journey's of these characters and this one uses that baggage brilliantly. So many trilogies, hell, so many single films fail to provide a satisfying ending. And this one manages to do it fantastically for more than a dozen of films and a whole bunch of characters. Hell, one of the worst MCU films is redeemed in my view, it became a whole lot more relevant than I ever expected.
