Just back, read the first page of the thread but I'm tired and want to splurge my reaction then sleep.

I loved it. Proper victory lap of a movie, and I'll gladly give them that as I've enjoyed the majority of this sprawling thing.

Falcon beard was odd, made his face seem fatter than it is, terrible look. I don't know how the "you can't alter your timeline" thing squares away with Cap's ending. I cried at the second last hurdle (I love you times 3000) and almost started again at cheeseburgers. I spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out who the fuck that old bird was in the iron woman suit before I realised it was Gwyneth. Sorry. Fat Thor got the thumbs up from me, striking a much needed blow for dad bod rights.

Captain Marvel was a bit meh, and the girl power scene was cringey but if it's made a few girls happy then it did the job. I did like when all of the ships guns concentrated fire on her as she was the biggest threat, but it does beg the question where the fuck she's been all this time? Is her life just a non-stop FTL tour of the universe barely averting disaster at the last possible second? Sounds fucking exhausting.

Sorry for the jumbled mess, just had to get stuff down.

So, put me down for some Asguardians of the Galaxy, when does the next decade of films kick off?

You all saw the Irn-Bru in New Asgard though, right?

Didn't see that, but I'm pretty sure thor was drinking Innis and Gunn when hulk and rocket went to see him.

Captain America wielding Thor's hammer seems to be an issue but I thought they covered that well in Ultron, it lights up when he touches it. Vision also hands it to Thor before that head off to take in Ultron too.

The Thanos time travel thing bugged me at first but I suppose he had plenty of time to sort out his own Pym particles and wristband thing. It felt like he instantly jumped through as soon as evil Nebula did her thing but to us it would be instant, of course. But didn't the ship smash through the roof of Avenger HQ? And no one batted an eyelid? Not that they could have made much difference but it was odd that an alarm didn't go off or there was any acknowledgement of it from the heroes. It makes me think I got that bit wrong actually.

Nah that did seem stupid to me too but hey, it’s just a film. Can’t pick on that when they have time travel bollocks all over the show. Holes or not, it was damn enjoyable and very emotional too!

I think the ship crashing through and all that was kind of happening at the same time as the snapping. Maybe.

I think Dave nailed the travel logic 7 or so pages ago. I haven't read the pages in between. I think it all works fine.

Will probably see it again sometime soon.

Did you love them times 3000 and get them all the cheeseburgers they want?

Yes, although they missed a trick by not making it the juice of choice for Irn Man.

(They could have used it as subtly as the Audi E-Tron by having Pepper hand one to him to help him recouperate on his return from space and then later on to quench his thirst one final time...)

I missed the Irn-Bru! Gonna have to watch it again now.

Maybe not but they do have a lack of characters with which the public are already familiar ...

I’d never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy before the films. Feige and his crew aren’t dumb.

That's fair enough, was just saying that as a non comic reader, I understand why they (all production houses) kept sticking with Spidey, Hulk, Batman, and Superman. They were the best known. Iron Man was done well (and I'd known more about him than the X-Men) and spawned this series. Taking time off and coming back to the same characters would be safe but lazy, I'd love to see more unknown (to me) IP, but understand why the studios would be wary. Luckily they've used the populairy surge to bring characters in who can be explored

He was, and if you go to the i&g bars in Glasgow or Edinburgh this weekend and ask for a "beer of kings" you get a free pint.

I see that this is actually a thing. I might pop down to grab one this weekend. Brewdog previously gave away a free pint to anyone who produced a photo of themself outside their polling station on the day of the snap general election in 2017.

I'll be going on Friday aye. Sorry, should have posted link, but aye its real like.

I don't think you're misogynistic or racist. I think you're taking this a little personally. I'm just presenting an alternate point of view, and why the moment might have landed better for others who weren't viewing it through your perspective is all.

Just to clarify, I got miffed because your reply made it seem like any criticism of the scene was an attack on the reasons behind the scene. And others have called the scene silly without such a response.( Though my memory is awful,that may have been elsewhere)


However, if nothing personal was intended then let's hug it out.

Ass goggles?

Sounds legit.

Am so happy he went out as he did. As a huge cap fan since I was little and everyone telling me he was fucking lame, thank god for the Russos.

Now bring on silver surfer please thanks.

Cap is still lame. Goody two shoes with his worthiness. Stark 4eva
