I know some may disagree, but I think these two movies did pretty well as far as box office goes.

It's controversial, but I think you may be right.

Hmmmmmm... I don't know. Maybe with all the product placement inside the movies (Sears, IHOP and others) covering for the marketing costs and with the DVD's, Blu-Rays and streaming, they will kind of make some profit at the end... Who knows?

The movies didn't even make $5 billion combined. Flop.

A waste of 5 hours! Part 2 undoes everything that happened in Part 1 so there wasn't any reason at all to even watch Part 1.
Has that ever happened before? A movie split into 2 parts, and Part 2 just undoes everything that happened in Part 1, which means Part 1 was nothing but a waste of time and money?

Actually it doesn't, if you weren't such a troll you would know that, anyone with a functioning brain can understand that, which is why you cannot I guess, and no I wont tell you why Endgame doesn't completely undoes everything in IW, lets see if you can figure it out you knuckle dragger.

If anything, I'd say Nat and Tony's arcs in Endgame added to themes setup in Infinity War. #whateverittakes

In The Godfather Part II, Michael Corleone destroys the family he saved from their enemies by divorcing his wife and ordering his brother's execution.

How is that undoing everything that happened in Part 1? Didn't Sonny Corleone get whacked in Part 1? And didn't Michael's 1st wife get blown up in Italy? Did Part undo their deaths and bring them back?

I'm referring to undoing an entire movie (or at least 90% of everything that happens in Part 1), not to undoing 1 scene in a movie.

I'm referring to undoing an entire movie (or at least 90% of everything that happens in Part 1), not to undoing 1 scene in a movie. Endgame didn’t undo everything. Only the snap was undone; everyone killed prior to the snap stayed dead (give or take some alternate timeline characters like Loki and Gamora). How about Back the Future Part III? With Doc’s “the future is not yet written speech,” the whole of Part II has been rendered pointless. Hell, X-Men: The Last Stand undoes itself before the film is even over, by hinting the cure isn’t permanent with Magneto, and revealing that Xavier isn’t quite dead in a post credit scene.

I'm referring to undoing an entire movie (or at least 90% of everything that happens in Part 1), not to undoing 1 scene in a movie. Which Endgame doesn't do, it undoes one event, the snap, and even then only in the deaths of trillions part, the fact that the universe moved on for 5 years means the emotional damage caused by the snap persist, and some of the ecological damage, the universe had 5 years of halved strains to heal a little, those who saw it recognise it, even with the population back to normal those 5 years will carry on and mean something.
Also Xandar is still decimated, the Asgardians are still decimated, the half they lost via the snap only account for a fraction of their population prior to Ragnarok, most died due to Hella, then half the survivors died due to Thanos's attack, then half of that were snapped away, that 50% is probably at best just 10-12.5% of their original population, they may be greater in number now than before but they were still wrecked twice in a short span.
But you keep talking shit like a retard, it's the only thing you seem capable of.
And yes many sequels have done far worse, as many sequels actually retcon past movies out of continuity, H20 retconned Halloweens 4-6 out of the timeline, Halloween 2018 then retconned everything but the original Halloween out of existence, Highlander 2 retconned the very nature of Immortals from the original film, the whole their can be only one thing was also retconned out of the series after the first film iirc, pretty much most XCU films retcon the fuck out of their movies, DOFP was hilarious how turns out Magneto's coalition of evil mutants to fight for mutant rights, they all get killed off screen between films less than a year after the first films events, except Magneto and Mystique obviously.
Wonder Woman retcons Diana's history from BVS and then JL had to retcon that to find a middle ground for why turns out after WW1 Diana though not disgusted with mans world like in BVS she kinda says she was but still didn't become a beacon for righteousness in the world like Wonder Woman suggested she would be, also the retcon Cyborgs origins because despite us seeing him being created in BVS via old recordings turns out the Motherbox only got active after Superman died which happens after we see the videos in BVS.

The entire Infinity War movie was about the snap. If you ask a random viewer who's not a CBM fan to summarize Infinity War in 1 or 2 sentences, he'll say "Thanos snapped his finger and wiped out half the universe." Endgame undoes that so Endgame basically undoes the entire Infinity War movie. By contrast, the summary for BvS would be "Superman and Batman fight, then reconcile their differences and team up with Wonder Woman to defeat Doomsday." JL doesn't undo that. The Superman and Batman fight still happened. The Trinity team-up to defeat Doomsday still happened.

Batman and Superman only reconcile because their moms have the same name, which is just horrible writing. And how can you forget they undid the death of Superman. Another terrible decision by WB!
