I see people saying this was holding Wanda accountable but I think it's the complete opposite. I got the feeling Wanda was seeing this is a "I can't control their fear, only my own" situation again which it 100% is not

Honestly the more I think about how unresolved Wanda's villainous actions are here the more annoyed I am with the terrible Hayward and Monica plotlines. None of that part of the story was earend at all.. Honestly Wanda mind trapping Agatha doesn't even feel good - it's like Wanda really is the monster that's okay with doing these things to people.

I honestly think this is leading us to seeing Wanda in a more antagonistic role in the future. She has proven time and time again that her mental state currently isn't suited for this level of power. I'm hoping this continues to build up and we eventually get a House of M like event. In fact based on that after credit scene I have a feeling some demon (probably Mephisto) is going to use her kids as leverage in Dr. Strange 2

I think the big problem with Evan Peters is that his initial reveal was huge, but it has zero luster now that we know he's just some dude.

It was very much a bait and switch and they knew it. Especially with all the speculation going.

Final thoughts on the series as a whole:

The short answer is I liked it. However it's definitely a show that's really reliant on its mystery and once you lose that, it becomes really boring. Especially since a lot of the weird/interesting stuff is kinda ruined once we know the answer (The bee keeper and Quicksilver immediately come to mind).

That said, I really like the Wanda/Vision stuff. They both became really fleshed out here and now I actually care about them as characters which is nice. I loved everything they did with Wanda and the after credit scene has me psyched. I have a feeling her and Strange are actually going to clash in his sequel. I also really appreciate them giving Wanda a bittersweet ending. The kids and Vision definitely needed to go (at least for now) and I also loved that scene where everyone from Westview was just staring at her.

I don't have much to say about Vision since he wasn't the focus, but I did really enjoy the fight between both versions of him. Seeing him go the logic route was pretty sweet. Paul Bettany really brought his acting chops to this one. He really brought some humanity to the character.

As for the villains, Agnes was phenomenal and Hayward was terrible. It's pretty obvious as to why and I don't think I need to explain it.

NowI do have some pretty big thoughts on the other side characters. The whole Monica/Darcy/Jimmy plot was okay. It was really nice to see them in episode 4, I also liked how they introduced Monica, but as things went on they felt more and more out of place. Especially Monica. It felt like she's only her so they don't have to worry about setting her up in Capt. Marvel 2. I liked her character well enough, I just think they botched her plot wise.

Anyway glad they mostly delivered. I'm looking forward to Falcon and Winter Soldier!

So I work in the meat department of a grocery store. Apparently corporate wants to change things around. They said all meat cutters have to open now. I'm currently the closer, so they told me either I have to open or change positions/go part time. Both of which would be a pay cut. Like it just feels really scummy. Not sure, but I just kinda wanted to discuss it.

Well I think they chose those starters to match the aesthetic. Decidueye and Samurott very much fit the time period they were going for. I imagine the fire would've been Infernape, but I have a feeling the Sinnoh starters can be found in the wild.

I might seem really worked up about the time travel thing, but it's hardly my main issue with the movie. I've just tried to bring up the inconsistencies with friends so we could discuss and theorize on if they're going to use it or not. They usually reply with 'nothing got messed up' so I've spent why to much time thinking about it haha.

Mr Crispy posted...
On a related note, was there any explanation outside of the movie why they couldn't say, give the borrowed time stone to Strange for like 10 minutes and have him use time reverse on the empty infinity gauntlet they got when they killed Thanos to get their universe's infinity stones back (like Thanos did with the mind stone) before returning the stones instead of "oh there's going to be some sort of universe destroying threat in a few years that can only be stopped by infinity stones BUT SURELY WE CAN STOP IT WITHOUT THEM!".

I want to say that they just want to avoid someone using them again, but I think that's just what Thanos said at the beginning.

when i saw Endgame, I instantly figured out it had alternate timelines. I don't get why so many people have trouble with this

The issue isn't that we don't understand it. The issue is that we do, it's just that the characters explain it one way, when what is actually happening is completely different. Thus it being inconsistent.

red13n posted...
This is the explanation they have gone with.

This from an admittedly quick search, but according to this article. The directors support the alternate timeline Cap whereas the writers support the idea that he was in the main timeline all along.

Cap did not exist in our current timeline with Peggy - she married someone else and lived her life running SHIELD. This is established canon before Endgame and this didn't change. Cap lived his life with her in an alternate timeline and returned back somehow with a different method than the Hulk's gear.

I always took it as 'the guy Peggy married' was just Cap all along. They just couldn't say it was Cap, I think that's much easier to explain than Cap went to an alternate timeline got old then found a way to come back.

CoolCly posted...
It's explained several times in the movie that the point of the time travel here is not to change how events happened, that they can't be changed like that. It's also been Word of God'd that the movie uses the branching timelines model, but that's really not necessary because it's all there in the script.

But that's my issue. When Tony discovers how to time travel they use the Mobius Strip a one timeline model, but then outside the movie they say oh well it's actually alternate timelines.

And yeah not all time travel movies make perfect sense, because it's not possible. I've just noticed a lot of people acting like this is the perfect time travel movie and acts like it's super realistic when it very obviously isn't.

This is the problem most people who think there are timeline problems have - not understanding how the time travel worked in End Game

It uses the branching timelines model. Any time they go to the past, they aren't going to *their* past. They are going to an alternate timeline/universe and taking things.

The intent was to borrow the Infinity Gems from an alternate timeline and return them to the exact point that they were borrowed from, in effect not actually creating any alternate timelines since everything there would play out exactly the same.

However, since things went sideways, they did permanently change the confluence of events for alternate timelines. Nebula killed the version of herself from the alternate timeline - this didn't kill her past self and affect her own history, it just killed the Nebula of that timeline. That timeline will no longer have a Nebula. Thanos and all his goons from that timeline are also now dead, so they will not arrive on Earth in the future and do the snap. so... good news for that timeline. Since the Gamora from that timeline is now stuck in the prime timeline, the Guardians of that timeline will not have a Gamora, so possibly bad news for that time timeline.

Loki escaped - but that doesn't change the history of the current timeline's Loki. There's just now a timeline where Loki escaped. The new Loki show looks like it's going to be about this Loki. This means he will have a very different personality from where he ended up in Infinity War, as he was at the height of his madness at that point and his choices to help Thor and consider himself an Odinson have not happened yet.

This is why undoing the snap to begin with was never an option. There is no time travelling back to the current timelines history and changing events happening. Everything that happened has already happened and cannot be changed.

It's theoretically possible that if things had gone smoothly and they had managed to return the gems with no influence on the alternate universe, then the same thing could had happened to the prime tlmeline with *their* gems being borrowed by a different timeline and then returned with no impact, but since we know there was impact, that's not the case. There was no time interference in the current timelines history.

You're right, but that still breaks the time travel rules. They explicitly show the Mobius Strip as well explain that anything they do in the past has technically already been done. That's how the Cap explanation makes sense. He was technically always with Peggy as everything else was going on.

I think the only time they mention alternate timelines is with the Ancient One. At the end of the movie though they act as if nothing is wrong even though they clearly created alternate timelines. However I did mention in my write up that if they make their screw ups a future plotline and actually address the alternate timelines then cool, but as it stands there are currently issues with their 'time travel'

Endgame rules, and the time travel is fully internally consistent, even that one thing.

Nah Loki escaping isn't and Thanos' army dying in the future isn't either.

The only way they can work is through retcons. For Loki to work the Avengers need to capture him at the end of his Disney+ series

I think Thanos' army only works if Tony snapped them back into 2014. But Nebula is dead and I think Gamora is still in the present so that doesn't really work either tbh.

Yeah despite ranking it low Endgame was a ton of fun to see in theaters. We had a group of seven or so people and played a prediction game prior to it.

My sister predicted that Tony would refer to Thor as Lebowski at some point during the movie. And we saw it opening night so we had no clue about Fat Thor going in. Then when it happened we all collectively lost our shit.

GotG2 was not good on first watch, but that's because it has some bad humor and stupid plotlines. What it does well, it does really well, and it's easier to look past the bad stuff the second time and focus on the good.

Eh I understand people having that mentality, but it's just not one I can get behind myself. If a certain part is really bad or takes away from the movie too much it's really hard for me to stay invested and that's when a movie really fails for me. But hey that just boils down to preference.

I never meant to hold onto it sealed like that, I just stopped opening games until I was going to actually play them and like I said, never got around to it

Honestly sell the sealed one, then buy a used one.
