Both coming this April. Both massively hyped and anticipated, both represent the end of an era - although both will continue in the form - a Spin-off for GOT and the next phase for Marvel. One will be the geek TV event of the year, the other will be the geek cinematic event of the year.......

So here's the question. If you can only watch one, which one do you go with?

GOT for me....just.

Game of Thrones, no question.

Yeah. Not even close

Avengers. Sorry.

bosk1 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:09:33 AM »

Avengers, no question. I have zero interest in Game of Thrones. But it is odd to compare a 3-hour film with a tv series that is several times longer than that in content.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #5 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:11:09 AM »

Don't have HBO Canada... never watched a single moment of GoT.

Have watched every MCU movie at least 2x; Infinity War I think is at 7 (watched the director's commentary over the xmas break).

You can figure it out.

bosk1 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:14:19 AM »

Infinity War is probably my favorite MCU film. But the odd thing is, I have watched it less than most of the other films, and I never really feel a strong desire to revisit it. I don't know why. Not sure how to reconcile that.

Grappler · « **Reply #7 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:16:07 AM »

Game of Thrones.

Adami · « **Reply #8 on:** January 16, 2019, 10:21:54 AM »

It's tough. I really want to see them both.

GoT has gotten progressively less interesting to me and has transformed to a very sophisticated show about relationships and politics to a show about "HOLY CRAP THAT DRAGON JUST BURNED THAT WHOLE ARMY" kind of thing. It's very very cool, but not much more than that anymore. We all just want to see the twists and turns and cool fights. So I do want to see how it ends, but I'm not terribly invested in any of them anymore.

Avengers, I'm a die hard Marvel fan (though quite fair to them and not a fan-boy) so I definitely am much more invested in Endgame. That said, I read Marvel comics every day. So it's not like I'll ever be removed from that world.

Dunno. Still going Avengers though.

kaos2900 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2019, 11:29:38 AM »

Going Game of Thrones though to be honest I'm more excited for the new Star Wars in December.

I'm pretty sure I can guess how Endgame is going to unfold. I have no idea how Game of Thrones is going to end.

cramx3 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 16, 2019, 11:30:44 AM »

Couldn't care less about any of the super hero movies, so an easy Game of Thrones for me.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2019, 11:42:06 AM »

Game of Thrones by a million light years. IW was such a copout. Endgame is pretty predictable even without the comics as direct reference.

Game of Thrones is the greatest show/movie/whatever that I have ever seen. And no one knows for sure what is going to happen. Can't wait!

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2019, 11:53:06 AM »

GoT by so much it's not even funny. I've never understood the hype for the Avengers movies, they're all the same too me.

I watched some of the marvel movies when they started making them and becoming popular and I already felt that way, its like watching the same movie just with a different super hero. I actually never watched any of the avengers or newer ones, figured they must be better since people seem to love them, but I just have no interest really.

I agree it's an odd comparison (2+ hour movie versus 6 episode season of a TV show where each episode might be in the 2 hour range), but for me it's Game of Thrones and it's not.

And it's not because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Game of Thrones (I like it fine, but I'm not a fanatic). Rather, it's because all of the superhero movies of the last 10+ years started boring the crap out of me at least 3-4 years ago. I looked at the Wikipedia list of Marvel movies (starting with the first Iron Man in 2008). I think I saw all of the "Phase One" movies except for The Incredible Hulk, and I think I saw all of the "Phase Two" movies except for Thor: The Dark World (not sure about Captain America: The Winter Soldier). I actually enjoyed Ant Man, but at that point I was basically done, and pretty much none of them were tolerable after the first iteration. I saw Black Panther at home on demand and thought it was ridiculously overrated. And the recent DC movies (starting with Batman Begins) are generally all even worse, although I haven't seen as many of them.

I can't choose. They're both equally awesome, and I've been awaiting both with equal anticipation.

You have to rectify this bro.

ZirconBlue · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2019, 07:13:20 PM »

I love both, but, if forced to choose, I'd have to take Avengers.

robbob · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2019, 09:22:17 PM »

Ah, yeah, GoT for me, easily. Best show on TV, and best thing is we really don't know how it's going to end.

There's way too many Superhero movies out there, very hard to keep track, they over saturated us with them. Though most of the ones I seen lately including one of the Avengers Movies was decent

Polarbear · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2019, 01:09:15 AM »

Avengers for me!

I have seen most of the marvel movies in theater since Iron Man 1, and Endgame feels like a end of an era.

I have watched some random episodes of GOT, and they were very good, Still i would have to watch the entire show in order to get invested in the final season. And there are more interesting shows already out there, and some that are in production right now.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2019, 05:16:35 AM »

Absolutely love both, but if I had to choose one it'd be Avengers.

cramx3 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2019, 07:25:45 AM »

Seems fairly even although the comparison is quite odd. Should have been a poll

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2019, 08:39:05 AM »

I'm a recent MARVEL watcher as my kids really got in to the movies so i jumped on board with them. I dig them all and the story they're all telling and am looking forward to both Captain Marvel and Endgame.

BUT....the GOT final season just has me more intrigued due to the fact that there's no real way to 'guess' what's going to happen. Lot's of theories and possible outcomes wheras the Marvel movies there's pretty much only a couple directions they can go....it's just not as 'mysterious' to me right now as what can/will happen in GOT.

GoT by far... I mean Kit Harrington is spank bank gold.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2019, 03:19:28 AM »

Game of thrones

I never really liked avengers that much to begin with.

Game of Thrones

soupytwist · « **Reply #26 on:** April 23, 2019, 04:57:17 AM »

I know a few thought this thread was a tad weird.....but this next few days are going to be very epic and emotional in pop culure/geek land.

Endgame + The Battle of Winterfell = a lot of goodbyes coming up I think.

Agreed

I was excited for Infinity war, but don't have any interest in Endgame.

Zantera · « **Reply #28 on:** April 23, 2019, 06:36:05 AM »

Endgame for me. GoT while s8 has been enjoyable so far has the worst stuff left (BIG BATTLES) imo which was always a lowpoint of the series for me. Always loved the character driven episodes a lot more.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 23, 2019, 07:45:53 AM »

Avengers for me. GOT is awesome, but I had never even heard of it before about 10 years ago.

The Marvel superheroes have been a constant in my life for literally as long as I can remember. My entire life in pop culture has been leading up to this film.

The Walrus · « **Reply #30 on:** April 23, 2019, 07:47:49 AM »

Game of Thrones. Endgame is close, but fantasy done this good just tickles my fancy something fierce.

How dare you ask me to pick between two children I love!

ariich · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2019, 08:16:13 AM »

Endgame for me. GOT is great, but the quality has been extremely variable and slightly in decline (although I enjoy it hugely) whereas the MCU has been incredibly consistent and really is on a high right now.

Progmetty · « **Reply #33 on:** April 23, 2019, 08:33:53 PM »

Game of Thrones easily. But then again if this thread was titled "Grass growing or Avengers movie" I would have chosen grass growing, also easily.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #34 on:** April 24, 2019, 05:16:40 AM »

I have severe franchise fatigue with Marvel movies, where as GoT was gone for a while and that absence has got me hyped up to watch.
