Absolute scum IQ.

I didn't understand the premature call on Endgame, or the assessment that the early hype was lacking either. :confusedshrug:

[Kblaze8855]

I really dont get what you saw to conclude it wouldnt be massive. How could it not be?

Whats the smallest sequel to a billion+ a movie franchise ever? Do movies on this scale ever even close to bomb?

The closest you get are when the Transformers movies fell off. And they fell off to like 600 million.

There was no chance in hell this wasnt gonna be a waaaaaaaaay over a billion movie. Who saw the first and didnt feel a need to see the second?

This movie would have done over a billion without advertising. They could have dropped it in secret at midnight on a tuesday like a Beyonce album and creeped to a billion on word of mouth and internet hype alone.

Please don't post spoilers. My wife is pregnant so I have to wait until she feels good enough for us to see this movie, so that I can then talk shit to this idiot.

[Kblaze8855]

Get off the internet immediately. Too many spoilers to dodge them all. I had parts if it spoiled in a Facebook comment section about the nfl draft so I went to the midnight showing that night with friends to avoid any more.

Someone is gonna spoil it in a game of thrones discussion or something.

Your obsession with me is disturbing.

And on top of that, if you meant box office count, what does your wife being pregnant have to do with anything? You’re dumb. Always have been, always will be.

And you’re obsessed with me. So obsessed. Did I mention it?

Good try, good effort.

Great, now we are going to have to suffer more dumb ass super hero movies. The general public is fukking stupid. These are the same people who think GoT is actual quality, so it's not surprising they eat this shit up, too.

:lol Not a single one of the 20+ movies are anywhere near the best movies of either decade.

It's an awesome accomplishment what they did.. but they basically did a basic Hollywood action flick and connected the worlds.

[MaxFly]

Because studios just choose to rehash this dumb ass shit instead of making something original.

Marvel Studios, under Disney, makes movies about superhero properties they own. That does not preclude other studios and production companies from making movies that they deem original and engaging.

The 1st part I definitely disagree with but otherwise even if you think about all the money they made, which if you believe it or not is the ultimate goal of 99% of movies (especially most likely all your favorite movies), then their accomplishment is the greatest. They have made the most money and entertained the most fans for 11 years. What can be a greater accomplishment? They are the reason this is the best time to be alive.

Wrong.

MCU experience really pales in comparison to the experience of those older guys having watched every star wars movie ever in the theatres. What a time for them.

11 years? Is that all? Star Wars has been going on for 40+ years. I never saw the first 3 movies in the theatres but some on here have. This is just another case of someone thinking they saw some shit that was trumped by someone else having a better experience.

These are 20-30....sometimes 50 year old stories turned into movies and you have never seen anything like them. Thats just a fact. The technology wasnt there to do it till they did it.

All of them have been original stories told for the first time on screen other than the Hulk origin from 2008.

Being the same genre doesnt make them rehashed stories.

The new lion king. Aladdin. Rehashed stories.

Guardians of the Galaxy was nothing like any major film ever made before it unless the similarity is just being funny and set in space. Nothing like Dr.Strange was possible till at best the late 90s and all the attempts to be similar were shitty tv movie quality.

Merely being comic book adaptions doesnt make them repeated stories any more than the run of mafia movies or westerns in their prime.

Hell less so. As I said...these movies were impossible even 25 years ago.

A comic book movie is way more likely to be something new than a coming of age drama, horror film, or murder mystery.

Those stories have much more existing work to steal from and be influenced by. This is making films from old interconnected short stories.

These films have flat out been better than most "original" shit that comes out.

Most attempts to start this kinda big franchise fails. Theres a reason this world worked and the Airbender, and John Whatever guy on Mars, and that shit they put Idris Elba into as some kinda future gunslinger and King Arthur with Charlie Hunnam and the Dark Universe that was supposed to be the Mummy and Invisible man and all that shit and a hundred other attempted universes didnt pan out.

These movies are good. Those movies tend to suck.

If they got money just off being comic book movies with Marvel characters the fantastic four movie wouldnt have lost 100 million.

I'm not a Star Wars fan or expert but is this the same Star War universe that has been going on for 40 years? Have they been making films continuously for these past 40 years within that same universe like every year or at least every few years? The recent films aren't remakes or reboots?

Nice attempt to move the goal post but Star Wars is Star Wars. Characters like Mark Hamil were in the first movie back in 1977 and also in episode 7 and 8, which came out in 2017.

11 years isn't shit. Sorry.

Ok so the answer to those questions is NO. So it's not the same. I don't think you get it. Thats like saying all the Batman movies from Nolan to the new Justice League are linked. And all the ones before have been linked for 20+ years. That is not the 11 year span I'm talking about. You're an idiot for even making that argument :roll:

I don't consider the X-Men series from the early 2000s the same as the ones that rebooted later in the 2010s. Even if they shared some characters like the old Professor X being in Days of Future Past.


Again, I'm not a Star Wars expert so I don't know what happened there but if you can't identify reboots to a storyline then I don't know what to tell you. I guess in your world THIS X-Men Series has been going on for 19 years as well? :facepalm

Also, we are talking about the same production house right for Star Wars the past 40 years? Don't tell me the 1-3 and 4-6 and 7-9 are coming from total different sources.


I'd love to see how/why you think the 8 movies by Star Wars are greater than what Marvel has done with their 22. Most of what I heard is the 4-6 were great but everything else sucked. I know for a fact these days the Star War movies don't come CLOSE to what Marvel has done.

Yes, episode = movie. The first 6 were lucas films and lucus films was then sold to disney. No reboots with the same actors being in movies 40 years apart trumps 11 years of marvel at 22 movies. How many spider man reboots are out now? 3? :oldlol:

I hear that crap about 22 movies all the time, but aside from some background information provided you don't need to see any Marvel movie to follow the Avengers story. People act like it's a continuos story told, but it's just losely connected.

Somewhere down the road the MCU guys decided to do a hero name dropping flick and it blew up.

You can buy anything Starwars. From tissues to Dildos, from Yoda earrings to drones, etcetc.

It's the biggest merchandising movie franchise with a religious following. The Avengers are ok, but they're not on that level yet.

Well, Marvel ends this phase 1 with elite products and two of the more succesful movies of all time.

Meanwhile, SW has been destroying themselves with last 2 movies, specially episode 8. It seems episode 9 will be better, I hope because I like both sagas a lot.

P.S SW TV series has been strong but not nearly massive as MCU (clone wars, rebels)

[Ben Simmons 25]

I wasn't wrong that it wouldn't be as good as Infinity War... I was right about that... but...

This movie has clearly done better than I thought it was going to. I was laughably dead ass wrong about that. Embarrassingly so.

I've never seen a movie do so well that didn't REALLY start promoting itself up everyone's ass until only a month before release. That's what truly threw me off. I guess it should be obvious in hindsight, given how many films over the years have tied in with this, no doubt about it. But still... it just seems to me like the promotional hype train would be in full force for about 6 months to a year out of most other truly huge movies before it... where this movie basically didn't start promoting until right after I made that thread.

Hell, there wasn't even a thread here for that movie until I made one 30 days out... there were far smaller films that made far less money that have had people making threads here many many many many months in advance... and yet somehow Endgame slipped under the radar entirely until it was go time.

That's what threw me off and why my prediction was so wildly inaccurate.

Looks like it might pass Avatar... should have taken me up on the bet if that ends up being the case, RMWG... oh well.

[STATUTORY]

I've never seen a movie do so well that didn't REALLY start promoting itself up everyone's ass until only a month before release. That's what truly threw me off.

the movie didn't need promotion with the way Infinity War ended and how many people watched it. They also did a really good job of not giving anything away in trailers and in the little promotion there was, I watched all footage released prior to the movie and I was surprised by the directions the movie took and that definitely improved the experience of watching it. Too many films just give away the whole plot in trailers nowdays.

[Meticode]

Checked Wikipedia today (5/3 2:32PM EST) It's above $1.7 billion and hasn't even officially began it's second weekend yet. It's going to go well over $2 billion in 10-11 days from it's April 26th release.

may be the most nonsensical time travel flick i've ever seen doe.

Through Friday Endgame has amassed $1.9 billion. After Saturday it's expected to be over the $2 billion mark easily. It's only on it's 7th or 8th day since release and it's already made more money than Infinity War did internationally.

Saw it.. I enjoyed it!

I didn't have any issues with it.. Just a few minors things like Thor being relegated to comedy (minor writing issue), captain marvel (again, mehhh writing of her) and Thanos writing was bit lacking too compared to Infinity war. None of it is enough to get mad because the focus was not meant to be on them but on Avengers redemption after failing in Infinity war. It's a 9 overall.

Fastest movie to ever cross $2 billion, and currently sitting $2.2 billion with the weekend not even being over yet. By next week or two, it'll pass Avatar

[bladefd]

I posted this just now on my fb..

Only issue I had was with the time travel. It is difficult to make time travel work without running into temporal loopholes and paradoxes. We saw those issues in End Game, but I can't blame the writers. They tried hard to make it work as well as they could, but it is very difficult to work out those temporal issues for anyone.

First thing is butterfly effect - one minor alteration would amplify in scale & change the whole timeline across the universe from start to finish.

Second, each time you cause such a change, you would create an infinite number of new universes and so you could have potentially created a new infinite number of events. The universe they returned to in the end would theoretically be a very different universe from the one they left, and we would have no idea what happened to the original timeline - would it continue in parallel trajectory or be destroyed?

If you start thinking about this, the premise begins to unravel and fall apart..

Then again, I keep telling myself it's a comic book movie with superheroes who can fly, call up thunder at will, travel faster than light across the universe (fly in captain marvel's case) with no consideration for time dilation in general relativity, minimize people to the quantum scale down to billions of times smaller than a planck, use shiny little stones to control time/space/etc, have souls & magic, etc. Every basic law of physics is violated in the process. Time travel is the least of our worries!

[Meticode]

Not as good as Infinity Wars.
*Infinity War

The biggest reason why most people tell me they prefer Infinity War is because they didn't expect Thanos to actually win in the movie and accomplish his goal. Most people (including me) going into the movie assumed Thanos would get a few stones, then the movie would end at some cliff hanger and Endgame would pickup about him trying to retrieve the remaining stones.

But no, the Russo's let Thanos kill half of all life and you actually get to see in Endgame what it does to people in some perspective. I thought that was a ballsy move and it worked out obviously.

We saw those issues in End Game, but I can't blame the writers. They tried hard to make it work as well as they could, but it is very difficult to work out those temporal issues for anyone.

First thing is butterfly effect - one minor alteration would amplify in scale & change the whole timeline across the universe from start to finish.

Second, each time you cause such a change, you would create an infinite number of new universes and so you could have potentially created a new infinite number of events. The universe they returned to in the end would theoretically be a very different universe from the one they left, and we would have no idea what happened to the original timeline - would it continue in parallel trajectory or be destroyed?

If you start thinking about this, the premise begins to unravel and fall apart..

Then again, I keep telling myself it's a comic book movie with superheroes who can fly, call up thunder at will, travel faster than light across the universe (fly in captain marvel's case) with no consideration for time dilation in general relativity, minimize people to the quantum scale down to billions of times smaller than a planck, use shiny little stones to control time/space/etc, have souls & magic, etc. Every basic law of physics is violated in the process. Time travel is the least of our worries!
That's called nit picking. Just enjoy the movie at face value. While everything you said is true if you over-analyze it, the one thing that bothered me was Cap showing up on the bench at the end. If the movie stuck to it's own rules he wouldn't been there because he would've been making some alternate timeline with Peggy. Banner even specifically said that anything they do in the past timelines doesn't effect their current one like the traditional way of thinking.

Fastest movie to ever cross $2 billion, and currently sitting $2.2 billion with the weekend not even being over yet. By next week or two, it'll pass Avatar

This is pretty crazy:


Time it took to reach $2 billion at the box office:

Titanic: 5,233 days
Force Awakens: 54 days
Infinity War: 48 days
Avatar: 47 days
Endgame: 11 days

This is pretty crazy:
First movie to break the 3 billion mark? AFAIK no movie has reached 3 billion at the box office, correct me if I'm wrong though...

First movie to break the 3 billion mark? AFAIK no movie has reached 3 billion at the box office, correct me if I'm wrong though...No, only five have passed 2 billion: Avatar, Endgame+IW, Titanic, and Star Wars: TFA.

well deserved :applause:

No, only five have passed 2 billion: Avatar, Endgame+IW, Titanic, and Star Wars: TFA.
That's what I'm saying, Endgame is poised to be the first ever 3 billion dollar movie...

It will blow right past Avatar in half the time..


Avengers: Endgame has earned $2.189 billion through May 5, passing Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Titanic to become the No.2 film of all time when it comes to worldwide gross earnings. It trails only Avatar's $2.788 billion, but Avengers: Endgame has plenty of time left in theaters.

Avengers: Endgame passed the $2 billion mark in record time, crossing that mark on May 4, just its 11th day of release. Avatar held the previous record, but that film required a whopping 47 days to earn $2 billion.

Nope because if that were true you wouldn’t be on here discussing it.
You are triggered because my post was making fun of incels which you clearly are. Now go play with your anime dolls.

Pretty much. Someone who is actually getting laid doesn't come to brag about it on a shitty board like this. That weaboo jameer is amusing in a laugh in his face kind of way.
