Superhero Films: Will They Ever Take Off? - The Bear and Badger

g.man

Fuck the X-Men and fire up THE HYPE TRAIN, because here's the real deal...

ShabbyMcCrabby

I'm avoiding any more trailers for End Game now. It's gonna be hard!!!

Frosty

*Insert Drake meme here*

That's a good trailer. I am hyped!

Spoiler:

Paul the sparky

I still like the look of X-Men, but like Shabby I'm not watching any more Endgame stuff.

Unlikely

I still haven't seen Infinity War. Or Thor Ragnarok. Or GotG2. Still hoping they appear on Netflix at some point, all the others have.

Kow

GotG2 is on Netflix I think. At least here it is.

Paul the sparky

Netflix are soon to be fucked over for Marvel stuff because of that Disney streaming service caper.

Unlikely

Yeah, I know. I was hoping that wouldn't be having an effect yet but I think it probably is.

afgavinstan

I don't see either taking off.

So the newly-released Avengers Endgame poster is a really handy reminder of

Spoiler:

and a massive public fuck-you spoiler to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

(Since this is the official public poster, I ain’t putting it in spoiler tags.)

Things to ponder in spoiler tags:

It’s only a spoiler if you already know the ending of IW but not the specifics, in which case, it’s a bit late for worrying about spoilers.

If you haven’t seen IW and don’t know anything about what happens in it, that poster doesn’t tell you why only those people appear on it.

Unlikely

I haven't seen IW so I had to look past that image smartish.

Unlikely

All I know about IW is that

Spoiler:

I should probably just buy the damn BR and give up on Netflix.

I think Sky got exclusive on them all. When Infinity war came to US Netflix on Christmas day, it went on Sky at the on same day.

There's been a photo of a hulk toy in an avengers suit implying that he does show up again.

I had no idea such a thing existed.

Going by the new trailer, he’s probably trying to look down Captain Marvel’s top.

cosmicjellybean

What bothers me the most about marvel films, is the posters. Jeeeesus they’re all really terrible.

Gremill

That's me done with End Game trailers too, that was a great one. Suits at the end

Correct. as someone who saw the movie that first referenced I can confirm that a character played by

MoHawkeye looks very silly if you ask me.

Is booking for Endgame open yet? I seem to remember Infinity War was bookable really far in advance or something.

Predicto Competition - Winner is the one closest to the actual plot and the prize is a total loss of all self-respect.

I think

Spoiler:

Banner / Hulk has a weird interior monologue with himself through ~~space magic~~ Wakanda tech and becomes Professor Hulk. Hulk survives the end.
Tony Stark is rescued by Nebula. Nebula probably kills herself to save Gamorra or kill Thanos. Tony Stark dies to bring others back but is actually just trapped in a quantum realm which is some kind of substitute heaven. Pepper Potts is pregnant in the real world at the end of the film.

Cap dies / goes to quantum heaven. I have no other information on that one. At the end of the film, Falcon is wearing ~~his skin~~ a modified version of the Cap outfit, and OMG will they do black Cap movies now?? No. No they won't.
Thor goes back to space.
MoHawkeye gets his wife back or whoever's death it was that made him go edgelord.
Black Widow does little. Lives.
Quantum imprisoned heroes are all living in some kind of heaven but something's a bit off and they all suspect it. And they find each other or something and go through their own team building exercise so when they pop out, they are the new Super Best Friends.
Star-Lord goes back to space.
It now starts to dawn on the audience that this Peter Parker incarnation is actually a bit annoying and they don't like him but he doesn't do much here anyway apart from make shit jokes and look sad / happy when appropriate. Lives.
Captain Marvel - I dunno I haven't seen that one yet. Saves the day? Kills Thanos? Returns to space. Gives, ermmm, Dr Strange an iphone he can use to reach her if the Earth is in peril. It's an iphone because it's not the 90s anymore when it was a pager and that's the joke and Endgame is here all week.
Thanos - dies. Probably comes to realise getting what he wanted hasn't brought about the changes he thought it would so kind of dies / commits suicide via letting Captain Marvel kill him. Or maybe Thor kills him because there was a set up line in the last one about Thor chopping his head off.
Rocket Raccoon returns to space.
Tyrion makes a new magic glove. In space.
Dr Strange is the last character remaining alive that I think is any good.
Post-credits - Skrull people talking about how strong and wonderful the Earth heroes are and how they can't possibly beat them at whatever their evil plan is. Then one reveals that some of our precious heroes are actually skrulls OMG which ones? Find out in about 10 movies from now aka 8 months later.

My wife said she wanted the Hawkeye haircut and now I'm scared. Also she's gasping at the bit for tickets.

Howdy, Stranger!
