Avengers Endgame releases next month and I haven't seen much promo material

[Ben Simmons 25]

WTF?

It feels like this movie is going to completely flop compared to Infinity War... I mean... THIS film is THE "conclusion" of 10 years of plots and interconnectedness and I'm not seeing much of any promotional material nor is anyone talking about it despite Infinity War's resounding success... weird...

I don't even see a thread here... maybe it was deleted...

Anyways, here are a few clips I saw on YouTube...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA6hldpSTF8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iFq6IcAxBc


I haven't even been to theaters in probably 6+ months but this will definitely get me to go out... what a pity that virtually nobody is talking about it.

I would be very surprised if this movie does as good financially as Infinity War, even if it's a better movie, which is also doubtful.

[Brujesino]

They dont want to release anything so they dont take any thunder taken away from Captain Marvel I expect them to start releasing stuff a week or two after Captain Marvel.

[Smook A.]

Exactly what I was thinking

Bingo!!

[Derka]

Wouldn't be stunned if the first real non-teaser trailer is attached to Captain Marvel.

[Real Men Wear Green]

If by "flop" you mean be the highest-grossing movie of all time I would agree.

Weird but true: Marvel comics is struggling to make money, probably because of piracy. If it wasn't for the movies being made out of the characters the comic industry would be dying. May be dying anyway.

Virtually every paper based industry is dying... most newspapers have shrunk or disappeared, magazines are struggling or going out of business, and the vast majority of book stores have vanished in the past decade or two. The only exception is university textbooks, which are no doubt making insane money these days.

If they cared about the environment or their student's pockets they would make textbook material available online. Oh well.

Edit: The problems of the comic book and the industry of books in general is a bit different from what newspapers and magazines and news sources in general have to deal with. Newspapers are fighting with free social media feeds andwebsites that just give the news away for free, legally. Comic books on the other hand are in a fight similar to what the music business is dealing with, which is p2p networks illegally sharing the artist's work. Getting into the movie business for Marvel comics may be like touring for musicians in that it's a way for them to make money now that people can get their comics for free.

RMWG talking shit like an ass... shocker...

There is a 0% chance that this movie goes down as the #1 grossing movie ever. $100 says you’re full of shit. ZERO PERCENT.

In fact I’d say it’s extremely likely that infinity war ends up higher in the standings.

[QUOTE=Ben Simmons 25]RMWG talking shit like an ass... shocker...

[Ben Simmons 25]

$100 it isn't #1. I would offer more money if I thought you'd take the bet at a higher stake. It won't beat Avatar. 0% chance.

Avatar's staying power was far too strong and it had broader appeal.

As I said, it's likely that Infinity War did better than this movie will.

Infinity War was far more heavily advertised. And it was the Thanos "reveal"... all we're going to get here is a couple of characters dying possibly permanently and Thanos' undoing. Not nearly as much hype. Not even close.

I agree with you that it's the culmination/"finale" of 11 years worth of cinema, and for that reason I thought the hype would have been far stronger and I'm very surprised that it hasn't been, but it's become abundantly apparent to me that at a month and a half out that people aren't going to care as much about this film as the last. I will... a lot of people will... but most won't.

[Real Men Wear Green]

There is a large difference between being a flop and being the highest-grossing movie of all-time. If you really want to bet I would want odds on that and a time frame for how long it has to make that amount of money.

:oldlol: This movie is going to be massive. I hope you're not making this bet with a lot of people.

[Kblaze8855]

Avatar is pretty out there but eventually something will catch it....and it might well be Marvel related. Avatar got a bump because it was almost all 3d I think. We talking worldwide or US for the bet?

I think Black panther damn near caught avatar in the US. It beat Titanic.

[Ben Simmons 25]

I never said it would be an all out flop.

I said it feels like it’s going to completely flop compared to infinity war... you can’t just omit words from quotes and pretend that’s what was said... I mean I guess you can, people do it all the time... doesn’t mean they’re correct.

Given the context of the fact that this is basically a two part movie split into two separate movies, if the second one and ultimate conclusion of 11 years of work only does 50 to 75% of the first half, that IS a flop... comparatively.

Age of Ultron was a major flop compared to infinity war. See my point?


:oldlol: This movie is going to be massive. I hope you're not making this bet with a lot of people.

I offer you the same bet of $100 that it doesn’t go #1 all time.

Zero. Percent. Chance.

And of course blaze something will catch avatar eventually but this movie ain’t it.

Well maybe not tbh only because less and less people go to movies nowadays but yeah... and yes we are talking worldwide... not that it matters, endgame isn’t taking #1 domestic either. Also a zero percent chance.

This is the way to do trailers. Just enough to give you the chicken skin, but also not enough to give away what is going on in the movie.

If we didn't read the articles or the leaks we'd have no clue what the plot is. Other than all the Avengers reunite together to make one last stand.

[coin24]

I hope they're not basing it heavily on captain marvel because that will be a stinker..
They really failed the casting on that one

[MaxFly]

This feels like one of those threads that will inevitably get bumped. It just has a Konex sort of feel to it.

I've avoided all press regarding this film for just this reason. I've seen two trailers and that's it. My fiancee and I have just let our minds run wild wondering what's going to happen and it's been fun to do so.

[scuzzy]

Love how the trailers have this murky dark theme


Reality: All the fighting scenes will cut to corny one-liner jokes non stop and have a disneyland happy vibe throughout


Yes, can't wait to see Ant Man save the world. The prophecy fulfilled

Every Marvel movie follows the same scheme, and people give the DC movies shit. They aren't much better if at all, but the hype train started on them and never stopped.

this is how i feel about marvel movies: all hype.

i'll watch them once they are available in high quality on torrents, but that's it for me. not going to pay for the same cookie cutter marvel movie.

and dc movies aren't that much better with the exception of the dark knight movies which blow ANY marvel movie out of the water.

i'll actually say logan was pretty good and leagues above the rest of marvel garbage films.

What the ****?

The acting and dialogue from MCU movies shit so incredibly hard on DC movies I don't even know where to begin.

The legit criticism of all Marvel movies besides Infinity War is they all follow the same formula and every hero is turning into the same character... Tony Stark. Tons of quick witted dialogue with the same overarching story and formula in almost every single film.

the acting in marvel films is definitely better.

but they're still severely overrated. it's annoying too. people talking about them like they're legitimate masterpieces of cinema...:facepalm

[Bawkish]

i think this one would match or probably break Infinity War in sales

i mean, look at Captain Marvel's weekend earnings. That movie exceed expectations in sales because it is somehow a kind of prologue to Endgame and not because of film's star power or anything else

[plowking]

Logan and the two that you mentioned are legitimately good movies.

Aside from that, most of them are extremely average.

[Ben Simmons 25]

Bump...

Well, given that they've now been absolutely plastering this movie everywhere for a month pretty much since around the time I made this thread... I'm going to have to revise my original prediction to... I don't know.

I would not be surprised if this beats Infinity War and I would not be surprised if it doesn't.

The only thing that would actually surprise me is if it overtook Avatar.

Apparently it has broken all previous pre-sale box office records, so my original prediction looks wrong.

[Draz]

I have like 7 super hero movies to watch to catch up

This shit just got boring

[coin24]

If captain marvel features heavily in this I'm done with marvel movies. Of all the movies they've made they havnt failed on the casting as hard as this.
They better not make the hulk such a f@ggot in this one.

[Kblaze8855]

Of course she features heavily. Who among them could do Thanos serious harm other than her and Thor?

They supposed to have black widow shoot him? Her and rocket are probably the only non dusted ones who knew who Thanos was before three days ago.

She and Thor are their big guns and she

I hope she comes in and wrecks Thanos for 3 hours just to pissed everyone off.

[Brujesino]

Makes no sense that people are pissed about Captain Marvel being strong but no problem with Iron Man going one on one with Thanos and making him bleed.

Thanos using the power stone on iron man and him just having some metal shield not even vibranium block the beam of the power stone like nothing is nobody mad about that?

[Ben Simmons 25]

If Captain Marvel is the savior of the series after literally 11 years of film without her existing... I will never go see another Marvel movie ever, except Spiderman... which I will still love, either way.

It has nothing to do with me liking Captain Marvel, disliking Captain Marvel, or feeling neutral about Captain Marvel.

This would be like... ok let's look at Harry Potter... this would be like the Harry Potter movies being told for 6-7 movies, and then at the second half of the last movie, someone other than Harry comes in and saves the day... it's like, lmfao, **** that stupidity.


Iron Man and Cap will be at the helm of the salvation of this 11 year saga.


Hell, this would be like telling literally any story ever... the story being 95% of the way through and then randomly dropping a character at the last minute to be the hero. That's so incredibly asinine I don't even know where to begin.

Surely their need for social justice won't lead them in this direction.

The issue as fans of the films isn't about real life sjw issues nor is it about following the canon of the comics, it isn't about following realism... none of that... in this instance.

The issue with even if idea of this is just completely asinine and lazy storytelling after drumming up 11 years of suspense and concluding it in the most dud like way possible.

[sdot_thadon]

Captain Marvel is meant to be a powerhouse. I didn't read alot of the cosmic theme comics when i was a kid but the times i did they were all pretty powerful.

And that's fine, but if she was going to play the savior at the end of 11 years, she should have been introduced like 6 or 7 marvel movies ago... not 1 ago.

That is not going to happen. The Fox acquisition didn't happen until last month dude. I mean, hell, if they really went breakneck pace I guess they could put together some after credit teaser scenes, but involved in this movie? No.

Filming for this movie was done a long time ago. January 11th of last year, to be precise.

I understand that, I'm sure they could have worked out something like they did for Spiderman especially with the sale pending during production. And you're right i think it's highly unlikely, but it'd be pure fan service. It'd actually be the most "comic book" thing ever. If you read multiple titles other characters basically didn't exist until they crossed over into a series for a few issues. They did "exist" per se, but were doing their own thing in their own titles. So Captain Marvel saving the day isn't really that out of pocket for a comic book movie.

If she comes in and kills Thanos like nothing yeah that would be fvcking retarded.

The only thing is why are people getting mad about IF something happens. Theres an outrage before anything even happens even when there is no indication that captain marvel is just gonna toss thanos around.

Im almost willing to be that she gets humbled by thanos because she thinks she all powerful and thanos smashes her.

[Brujesino]

My problem is they waited to introduce Captain Marvel until 2 months before Avengers endgame. 8 years they had to introduce her as they built up Thanos, but it seems she was not planned until the 11th hour.. And now she may be a primary reason how Thanos goes down. That's insane if you ask me :confusedshrug:
The original plan was to introduce the inhumans but the story or whatever didnt look good so they went with captain marvel.

But I dont understand where people are getting shes gonna be the one to defeat thanos. She can fight thanos one on one for a little bit but thanos ultimately wins.

People are saying that and thinking that because her power level is arguably if not definitively the most powerful superhero we've seen so far and just the idea that Nick Fury decided to play this card in his moment of desperation suggests as much, as well.

That's where people are getting this idea... because they have brains and they're paying attention.

If she fights Thanos and goes toe to toe and loses, that's fine. But if she fights Thanos and ends up being THE reason that the avengers win, **** this series now and forever.

[Ben Simmons 25]

Let me put this another way.. if they had introduced her 5 or 6 movies ago, and made it clear she was the most powerful... and then we didn't hear anything from her the rest of the time... and she suddenly shows up at the end and saves the day... that would be fine.

The problem lies 100% with the timeline of her introduction into the MCU. It's lazy and stupid for her to play savior.

They should use those same brains and pay attention to how good the marvel universe has been they wont let it just end with captain marvel coming in and taking care of it. I trust that disney and especially Kevin Feige and the Russo bros wont let that happen.

So if antman came out 2 months before endgame and introduced the quantumn realm and in endgame it turns out the quantemn realm has the primary reason for thanos going down how would you feel about that?

AntMan and the quantum realm can play a part... Captain Marvel can play a part...

Thor, Hulk, Cap & Iron Man should be the ones to bring us home. They're too invested. Saying it was 100% timeline was incorrect on my part. The main protagonists should be the heroes. That's it.

[sdot_thadon]

I think the guys handling such iconic franchises are challenged to do the opposite of what we expect to get shock value and not be too cliche i guess? At any rate Thanos was only revealed 1 movie ago right? I'm not sure if I forgot a movie in there. They also have the actual books to lean on in fleshing out characters for them, just a lazy move for cinema though.

Honestly, I would be okay if quantum realm and Captain Marvel were instrumental in significantly weakening Thanos then the original Avengers team comes in to finish the job.. They also need to have a logical plan rather than just brainless smash and bash

Well...prepare to be a totally irrelevant boycott of the next phase of marvel movies.

If you think theres anything wacky about it you just dont much follow the source material. Which is fine. Most people dont. But fact is....nobody they had introduced should be a major threat to thanos with Strange gone.

In the comics Thanos with the gauntlet literally defeated the assembled forces of the entire universe. He defeated the physical embodiment of time and space...the physical version of love and hatred....the phoenix force from the Xmen...Zeus...Odin...I think some of the Hindu gods were in on it.

All these beings teamed up against him and had a battle described as being in 6 dimensions...they hurled planets and such at him and he suffered no ill effects.

They realized he couldnt be defeated and they appealed to the right hand man of god(the christian god). Gods acolyte told them he wouldnt interfere.

He was way beyond being able to just...fight. He described the situation as him being all there was. He was in his words the last breath of a dying woman on the other side of the universe.

Not only did they bring in a huge number of random people to help with the plan to stop him that had nothing to do with the story to that point....the key to winning was several little known characters coming in at the last minute.

It was a story that didnt involve everyone but everyone went to fight. IT wasnt the avengers. It was the avengers, xmen, fantastic four, and a bunch of villains too. They took evil people because they needed people who wouldnt hesitate to kill to win.

They toned down his power level for the movies but not enough that ****ing captain America, black widow, an archer, a couple guys in suits, a raccoon with a gun, his adopted cyborg daughter, and the occasionally willing to fight hulk should be able to get it done. All of them combined shouldnt be able to take Thanos if he didnt have the gems.

With them? Everyone but Thor and Marvel should be there as a distraction. I suspect Marvel will be the big gun but acting under a plan devised by Captain America and Ironman.

I dont know what else would make sense.

[Kblaze8855]

Far as it being a social justice thing.....

A lot of people assume things are a product of the social justice era...when really? Its the source material from long ago.

Just wait till Chris Evans is done being thor. It might well be a woman playing Thor next and people will be all pissed....not knowing Thor was a woman in the comics 40 years ago. Thors girlfriend played by Natalie Portman in the films was thor at one point in the comics. Anyone worthy to lift the hammer can be Thor. Storm from the xmen had the power of Thor at one point. Captain America too. Wonder Woman and Superman both lifted it in crossover stories because they were morally worthy. A female being thor next would not only be totally in line with the source material...it would be in line with the movies. Odin said in the first movie whoever can wield this hammer should they be worthy would have the power of Thor. Nobody worthy tried it other than Cap who did budge it for a second but quit. A powerful/moral woman should be able to be Thor. I wouldnt be shocked if Carol lifts it in this movie and pisses off millions of men who dont realize she probably should be worthy.

Its gonna be hilarious watching people complain about all the modern feminism when her original stories had the same theme 40 years ago. Captain Marvel in the 70s was fighting for equal pay for women in her alter ego work place and saving the world at the same time.

I hope they fold that into something just so I can hear guys groan about this PC era not realizing she was a feminist hippie in the source material long looooooong ago.

Ideal scenario for my amusement? Thor is down....Carol lifts Stormbreaker to everyones surprise...and blasts thanos with the combined power of Thors hammer/axe and her own power to slow him down enough for Black Widow or Nebula to take the Glove and briefly rule the universe as millions of pissed off guys walk out....not realizing the first person to get it from Thanos in the comics was a woman.

I know it wont happen in the movie I but still wont spoil it in case some element of it does get used....but theres a particular scene in the books that would be hilarious to see the anti PC crowd get mad over thinking its some PC era addition and not how it was supposed to go from 25+ years ago.

The chances of Endgame being remotely as good as Infinity War is slim. I would be surprised if it was anywhere near as good.

I do not think Captain Marvel will be the one to take down Thanos at least not while he has the gauntlet. I think they will use the quantum realm and go back in time to prevent Thanos from getting the stones. I also think some of them will be stuck back in time with possibly Captain America going back to WWII times to get the Tessaract and gets stuck there with Agent Carter. That would allow Bucky to become the new Captain America.

If they go back in time and take the steps to keep Thanos from getting the stones then someone would have to defeat him in the present. Thanos is extremely powerful even without the Gauntlet so it would likely be either Captain America, Thor, or the Hulk that defeats him or possibly some combination of heroes who stay in the present.

I do not think Captain Marvel will be the one to take down

I highly doubt Captain Marvel takes him down. It's unlikely they would introduce her in the immediate previous film only for her to be the one to take him down. That would tread on the development of the other charaters and teams as well as their story line over the last 20 or so films.

By the way, promotion of Endgame is everywhere. Everyone's talking about it. There are a bunch of trailers and the actors are and will be appearing on virtually every talkshow and late night show. The original point of this thread jumped the gun a bit.

How important is this film? My wife is a comic book fan, do I take her to this one or to Pikachu?

That's exactly why she will probably be the one to do it..

1. Why introduce her this late in the game and make such a big deal about her(infinity war end credits scene) if she wasn't of any significance

2. Even without the gauntlet Thanos is far beyond any of them except MAYBE Captain Marvel. Look how easily he dispatched the Hulk.

This film is more for the moviegoer who's kept up since MCU started.

Iron Man can depending on if he gets his OP comic suits, MCU Hulk got srsly nerfed compared to comic Banner which is why Thanos curb stomped him in IW. Scarlet Witch changed reality in House of M, she got nerfed as well.

She got curb stomped in the comics by him.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm not going to say much more than what I've said. Let's come back in a few days and reexamine how and why the studio introduced her in the manner and time in which they did.

Well it's still early and only like 50 or 51 reviews are in but it's sitting on 98% fresh on RT. There is actually the possibility this surpasses Infinity War in sales. I would be amazed if it did, but hey... been super wrong before, I'll be super wrong again.

I still don't see it passing Avatar. There's just no way. 0%.

96% :banana:

I bought my tickets a few weeks back when they went up for pre-sale and bought for Sunday 7pm... not realizing it clashes with GoT :facepalm

Gotta stay off social media on my way back home :oldlol:

So far the reviews have been fantastic, just as expected. IMDB currently has Endgame at 9.4/10 and RT has it at 96%. I really think this'll be better than Infinity War and has a chance to be the greatest superhero movie of all time right there with The Dark Knight
