Yeah I know, and agree with your points. But my main issue is the fluid look of the new suits, it just looks weird imo. Looks more like a Spider-man suit than Iron-man, which I know makes sense for the nano-tech stuff but id irks me in some scenes.
The ones from IM1 and 2 looked so damn good.
I can't tell if you wrote this to be like the plot of Agents of Shields on purpose.
I've never seen anything beyond like the first two episodes of AoS, so that either bodes well or poorly for my ability as a writer
Just reserved my tickets for Endgame, good thing i live in an area where people don't rush to get them.
Ant Man then flies into this ass. The end.
I've never heard that one before.
Another trailer, SPOILERS!

Nope, I'm done. No more. I can last 14 days with what I've seen so far.
Only 13 days left for me and i can't handle it. I need a distraction.
I got 11am tickets for the 26th. Nobody comes to the AM showings
the sync gunshots were quite cute, i must admit.
unnecesary, but cute.
film set leak spoilers
they aren't fist bumping, they are setting their time watches which have been cgi'ed out for the trailer
Feige also revealed what the first episode of the original animated series based on the Marvel Comics property What If? would be, describing it as What if Peggy Carter got the powers from the Super Soldier Serum and Steve Rogers remained his scrawny self, but was given a superpowered suit of armor designed by Howard Stark?
I'm really excited for this. I love 'What If'/Alternate History stories.
Holy fuck its only $6.99
I'll raise you with this:

Eh Elizabeth Olsen is hot as fuck so I'll let it slide
Jesus fucking Christ can Disney stop shilling their made-for-TV pilots that explicitly spoil who makes it out of Endgame alive for three fucking weeks until the movie comes out?
Like, yeah, I'm not gonna pretend like Spider-Man and Black Panther and all them are gonna stay dead, but can the people making the movie at least pretend they are? Can they understand that they made a big-budget blockbuster that succeeded in subverting everyone's expectations in a shocking and exciting way and stop pissing all that goodwill down the drain, as if people aren't gonna buy their streaming service when it comes out later this year? There was a time when the company explicitly saying "oh yeah all these characters who died are coming back in new movies and series we need to tell you about now to please our investors" would cause some sort of outcry. People would be pissed because the biggest movie of the year was just spoiled for them in some capacity. But we're beyond caring; we're gonna go see it, Disney knows it, and that shit just feels so cynical and dirty.
I'm hyped for Endgame, but Disney's made it abundantly clear in recent years that the MCU has become so profitable for them that they're comfortable adopting a "ehh fuck it, you sheep are gonna eat up this slop no matter what" approach to the whole thing, and that kind of apathy is exactly why I'm tapping out after Endgame. I'll maybe check their future products out if I've got nothing going on that weekend, but aside from Guardians 3, I just can't be fucked to care about this series as much as I once did when it's clear that Disney doesn't care as much as they once did.
I know this is kind of a nit-picky rant but goddamn it's so frustrating that this company has earned so much goddamn money that they can't even be assed to pretend it's about telling a story anymore. Mark my words, when the MCU finally starts to become unprofitable, it's going to be this "hey consumer, make sure you go see Unnamed Marvel Film #237B, in theaters Q3 of 2027!" mindset that does it all in.
quit being a baby
Spoiler: Avengers will have a happy ending
Jesus dude. OG Avengers are in the crosshairs, noone else can even die since they are dusted and Vision is fixable with either a v2 or some time shenanigans. They spoiled nothing anyone with any smarts couldn't figure themselves.
Again, my issue isn't so much "wtf you mean they're gonna undo the snap??? SPOILER ALERT!!!" so much as it is frustration and befuddlement that a company would purposely suck even the illusion of tension and mystique out of their tentpole blockbuster literally 14 days away from the premiere, just to plug some made-for-TV streaming shows that launch months from now. It says to me that their priority isn't framing this story in an engaging way for the audience so much as it is reassuring their shareholders and investors that the Marvel money train is gonna keep on chugging along.
I know this is just a crowd-pleasing superhero movie made to sell toys to children, but can the company making it maybe pretend it's something less cynical than that? That's what they did with Infinity War, and that shit was one of the best theater experiences of my life because nobody knew what to expect. When Thanos stabbed Iron Man, everyone was dead silent because Thanos just stabbed Iron Man, holy shit Iron Man might be dead.
But now I know what literally everyone but like 5 characters is getting up to after the credits finish rolling so the only question I have walking in is "are they gonna kill Cap or Iron Man".
