Dude, Endgame is a time travel movie. Just a bad one. Google time travel movies, its now the first to come up. I Googled "time travel movies". No mention of Endgame. Let's try "time travel movies 2019" ... nope, nothing. Let's try "time travel action movies" ... zip. "time travel science fiction movies" ... nada. Let's try "superhero movies" ... bingo! How about "greatest superhero movies ever made" ... jackpot! You were saying?

Did I miss something? I was just told it wasn't? I think we all know it classifies as a time travel movie. Depends on your classification of a "time travel movie". Does a movie simply need to employ time travel in some capacity to be considered a time travel movie, or does it need to be about time travel? Endgame uses time travel, but it is not about time travel. There is a distinction between the two that seems to have escaped you. It's interesting how often fans of other franchises need to come to the MCU board to be schooled in such things.

Because your opinion is not shared by many people.

Gee ... I didn't think it was all that hard to understand, cupcake. Out of a world population of 7.5 billion people, approximately 55 million normally die each year ... old age, accidents, illness ... etc. You cut the population in half and you also cut in half the number of people who normally die each year. That's 27.5 million (number corrected from 22.5). After five years, the population disintegrated by the snap is resurrected. 137.5 million people who would have been dead, are now alive. Lives saved! Your own poll puts the absolute maximum number of snap accidents at just over 3.5 million. A drop in the bucket compared to 137.5 million. ... are you still confused? WOW! You've just proved that you're really dumb. In what workd does "over 3.5 million" mean "absolute maximum of 3.5 million"? "Over 3.5 million" means "MINIMUM of 3.5 million". Do you not understand the difference between maximum and minimum. Of course you don't. You still think that the laws of physics behave differently on opposite sides of a football field! LOL! Read it again, dipshit. What was said was, "Absolute maximum of just over 3.5 million." No wonder you get everything wrong. You can't read!

Well, since 55 million people normally die each year, the snap reduced that number by 22.5 million. 22.5 x 5 years = 112.5 million. So, after the snap was reversed, there were 112.5 million people still alive who wouldn't have been if the snap had never occurred ... which is way more than those killed in accidents at the moment of the snap. Even in failure, the Avengers save lives! WRONG AGAIN! The key phrase is "55 million people NORMALLY die each year". The snap wasn't a NORMAL occurrence. It would be like saying NORMALLY X number of people commit suicide every day. But on 1 day in 1978, over 900 peiple committed suicide in Jonestown. Jonestown was not a NORMAL occurrence so it can't be categorized with NORMAL stats. Likewise, the snap wasn't NORMAL so the snap can't be categorized with NORMAL stats. The snap resulted in many plane, helicopter, car, bus, train, and subway accidents that wouldn't have occurred if not for the snap. So the number of people who were killed as a result of the snap and weren't resurrected is most likely much more than 55 million. Gee ... I didn't think it was all that hard to understand, cupcake.

Of the three consecutive billion dollar plus box-office blockbuster 2019 MCU movies, it's the weakest of the bunch.
If you're hankerin' for a good superhero movie, there are plenty of other MCU movies that are better.

Didn't like it.
1. Waaaay too long for a movie with no plot.
2. Too many loooong scenes of Brad Pitt just driving around.
3. First half hour was deadly dull ... I actually entertained the thought of walking out (which I've never done). When I went to take a leak, I knew I could take my time because I wasn't going to miss anything important.
4. The funny scenes were not very funny, the suspenseful scenes were not very suspenseful, the outrageous scenes were not very outrageous, no interesting dialog or conversations, the over the top violence was limited to the last five minutes.
There's probably a reasonably good 90 minute movie in there ... somewhere.

"Gone with the Wind" would have sold $1.958 billion worth of tickets today in the US market alone, based on what the National Association of Theatre Owners says was an average US ticket price in 2018 of $9.11. If Gone with the Wind was released in 2018, it would be a colossal bomb. No threat to Endgame, whatsoever.

He would be more popular if his films were good. I didn't see the second one. I didn't think they first one was bad at all, it just didn't have anything special about it. I came out of it satisfied, but thinking it wasn't memorable. Ant-man was the point when I realized that the MCU could do no wrong. I mean, come on. A superhero called Ant-man? There was no possible way a movie about a totally obscure character (to the general public) with such a ridiculous superpower would work ... yet it did! I thought it was pretty good, critics thought it was pretty good, and it was a box office success! The problem these days is that it pales in comparison to those MCU movies that can be considered the titans of all superhero movies. Those critically acclaimed, billion dollar+ movies that have reset the bar so high that it's almost unfair to everyone else.

I guess Captain Marvel has a female lead, so critics will be scared of being labelled sexist. You guessed wrong. At 78% CM is one of the lowest rated MCU movies. Now, audiences on the other hand must have been afraid of being labeled sexist or somethin' ... since they flocked to the movie and made it a billion dollar super hit!

Nobody wants to acknowledge goose is a kitty cat that punked fury and that Ronin got beat by dancing No one want to acknowledge something that isn't true. It's weird that you have difficulty understanding that. Did you grow up in the Soviet Union? Perhaps in the vicinity of Chernobol?

Oh boy, audiences really like these Tom Holland Spiderman movies! $1,000,000,000! ... and it was just a couple weeks ago, the haters were hoping that it would underperform. So sorry to disappoint! |

Wrong board, troll. This is the MCU board. Both links in the OP, where you spent hours writing about Wonder Woman, are from the MCU board. Did you get lost?

Some people seem to think that Avatar could have a tenth anniversary re-release or some re-release prior to Avatar 2 coming out that would allow it to take back the #1 position. It can't change the fact that Endgame kicked Avatar's ass twice! With both the initial theatrical release, and the first rerelease. Game over, man, game over! That's like the Dallas Cowboys running back on the field after everyone has gone home, kicking a field goal, and claiming they won the game.

Or will MCU retcon it and just ignore those consequences like how they ignored the fact that Bucky murdered 2 innocent civilians and is a fugitive from the law and ignored the fact that Cap is also a fugitive from the law after aiding and abetting Bucky to flee from the law? Those two things were referred to directly in Infinity War, Captain America was still on the run and Ross wanted him arrested. Winter Soldier was also being hidden away in Wakanda so that's wrong. So no, they obviously won't retcon it, as again, they clearly said that's what the story would be about. Oh dear, dcfan went to all the bother of resurrecting this old threat, only to get immediately stomped. Yeah, that's pretty funny!

I don't remember that as part of the marketing. Either way it's not breaking continuity. It is breaking continuity because how do you account for the similarity in appearance which doesn’t happen in real life unless they are twins? How do you account for no one in the DCEU universe picking up on the fact that Clark Kent and Superman look identical? Are they assumed to be twins? Is the audience really supposed to believe that a pair of glasses manages to fool everyone in the DCEU? Is the DCEU populated by idiots? ... or is it the undiscerning DCEU fans who just shrug it off?
