Yea, butt.
You know it's going to be some corny-ass, Disney bullshit where all the heroes band together in a symbol of unity.
I loved Guardians of the Galaxy, but it had that same kind of hokey ending.

Thanks, I hate it.

Iron Man 1 came out 11 years ago, but these movies are making more money now than they ever have. Maybe after End Game shakes things up and they start rolling out the new heroes it starts a downward trend, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Right now this thread should just be everyone posting applause gifs to celebrate my sounding pun.

I'm saying it out loud but still not getting it :doge
The only my thing more annoying then nerds gushing about Marvel movies is other nerds gushing about how they are above the other nerds and how these movies suck and are annoying.
Oh boy you discovered the secret that Super hero comics are never ending. Wow how amazing that your are above the trap that has befallen so many comic book readers.
the sounding joke was a litmus test for the depraved perverts on the board. Thanks for revealing yourselves so us innocent, law abiding Bire denizens can stay away from you.

A lot of the heroes from the first few movies [Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, ect.] are running out of movies on their contracts, which means either new contracts [which will cost a lot of money] or replacing them with new heroes or have new people take up the mantle of the previous hero. That's already started in with Captain Marvel, Spiderman, and Black Panther being major players, and the trend is likely to continue. Most people see End Game as a natural dividing line between the older cast and the newer cast [some of the heroes die or retire, other heroes step in to fill their places].
So like what happened in actual comic books. :beli How long do they plan to keep going?

Marvel has 10 movies currently in development for release after Endgame and through 2022.
Cindi, Warner Bros. has a film coming out starring Joaquin Phoenix as The Joker. Also Jared Leto is still playing The Joker in the Harley Quinn associated canon films. :doge
When Disney gets around to incorporating the X-Men they're dumping everything Fox has done. Not to mention they'll have everything that was tied up with the Fantastic Four license to play with. They've got gobs of identifiable characters to use for the next decade.
10 movies in like 3 years?That's already been the pace of their scheduling since Age of Ultron:
out of curiosity Cindi, do you want Marvel to also stop producing new comic books?

If I were Marvel and DC, this is what I would do:
- I would force all writes to make a long term plan for a finale for all current books.
- End the shit. Make it conclusive.
- No X-Men, Spider-Man, whatever the fuck ever man. Not all at once of course because that'd fuck your business ala DC 52.
- Create new books to create new stories and heroes with a specific beginning to end long-term plan in terms of plot. Beginning, middle, end. Kaput. No stupid extra books either. No goddamn Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man, all these multiple books starring one character or group. Fuck that shit. One book, one story. Stop being hacks.
- Then, when those books are done with their stories, slowly bring back the old classics after maybe a decade worth of books. Spider-man, X-men, what the fuck ever man. This is now your event. A once in a generation event where each generation gets to put their own spin on the classic heroes.
- Make these new stories of classic heroes have writers that stay on. Have them make a conclusive plot from beginning to middle to end. There must be an arc.
- End those stories.
- Repeat.
As it is now, why keep reading? Spider-Man is a 50 year old story that keeps going and going and going and going. I love me some Spidey, I love me some X-Men, but it's fucking stupid. Why should I keep reading? Why should I keep buying? This shit can cost upward of 4 bucks a book now. Stories end. Stories have conclusions. End the fucking shit and kill the goddamn bitch.
Also, if I were to throw a swerve into the American comic book market, I'd personally find likewise thinkers who think the current situation of American comics is dogshit, repetitive, and asinine business model. I'd rip off the Japanese model and team up with Kodansha or Jump to make an American version, except monthly. One massive tome of comics a month. In color. With conclusive stories. Beginning, middle, end. Sell in grocery stores next to the magazines next to the gum at the cashier checkout. Then I'd watch the American model slowly fuck itself to death (hopefully).
If I were Marvel and DC, this is what I would do:All that exists on their other imprints. The main stuff keeps the same popular characters because they continue to be popular.

As is, most writers terms on a book do form a story arc, then the next writer comes along and produces his own. DC's certainly promoted this "a book is its author" concept for a while now. We had Grant Morrison do a huge Batman run, then Scott Snyder picked it up for New 52 that eventually was brought to a head in Metal, while Tom King took over for his run that continues to be its own unique thing. While Detective Comics has been a place for an entire different type of Batman Family story since Rebirth. Geoff Johns did his Justice League run as a complete epic, much like Morrison had done a decade earlier.
Marvel's editorial is a mess in comparison but they still have a similar situation with writers runs being a "take" on the character until the writer leaves. Marvel's done more than DC with their own imprints that are separate with the same characters like Unlimited was. DC has the poorly planned Earth One only really.
But the other imprints, Vertigo especially for DC has long been what you're demanding. Other companies like Image or Dark Horse offer tons of books that are nothing but this. Kill or Be Killed. Harrow County. Two recent ones that ended. Earlier highly praised stuff like Fables, DMZ, 100 Bullets, etc. all came with endings to their runs. Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead has no intentional ending because it's supposed to jump around characters in the same world, yet his other work, Invincible was a mega series with a whole arc that came to a conclusion. One of my favorites, East of West, is a series with an ending, it's just not the writer or the artists primary book so despite it ultimately being less than 50 issues, it's just taking twice as long as a mainstream book to come out. Saga supposedly has an ending that will come but they write it and release it in "seasons" now so the schedule is off compared to mainstream books.
But this says nothing about books like Spider-Man or X-Men or whatever. Those just keep going like a perpetual soap opera. But here's the thing about soap operas - characters leave, actors move on. Telenovelas end. End Spider-Man. End his story. He deserves it.There's still people who want Spider-Man and X-Men stories.
But that doesn't stop Superman comics from still going on and and on and on. End it. It gets to a point where it exists purely just to make money and it is now creatively defunct.It's always existed at its core to make money. I think it was "creatively defunct" when they fucking killed the guy, created phony alternates and then brought him back in under a year mostly to reap profits off the speculator market. Geoff Johns' run over a decade later with the Legion of Super Heroes and New Krypton was better than nearly everything that been done before with the character.

You can pick any part as a good "ending" and have it be yours. I think Scrubs season six should have stayed the ending. It didn't, the show was briefly renewed and then rebooted on an other network. Oh well. I prefer it as the ending point it was written as. Plus it gave us Cougar Town in the end. Despite liking parts that came after, I think the preferred ending of The Office was when Michael leaves. It wasn't, it dragged on for years. And those are shows that had actual character arcs. The Simpsons doesn't. Or Family Guy. They're mediums that change with the authors. The funny books do that and have arcs, no need to end them when people want more. :yeshrug
Well, I mean what ending can there really be other than Spidey gets old, retires and then dies. Either that or he dies in battle some way. Remember the Animated Series wacky ending where he shows up in the real world. :lol
To bring it back to Endgame, there's some characters who are dying or moving on, they're getting an ending. But the MCU "world" still exists with the newer characters. Now sure, in the case of the movies it has a lot to do with the actors and behind the scenes but they're actually writing an ending for this "arc" and main set of characters. It'll probably be some time before we see Thanos, Iron Man and Captain America at the least in Marvel's films. (I'd include Thor but I think Chris Hemsworth has said he has one more to do. Hulk is CGI so...) Other than maybe tiny cameos like Nick Fury has done for most of this whole set of films.
Let’s get back to the real topic at hand; will one man enter another man’s butt in Infinity Bores and then get big? Or will he enter through the urethra instead? I should have made this a poll.

After the Western's renewed commercial successes in the late 1930s, the popularity of the Western continued to rise until its peak in the 1950s, when the number of Western films produced outnumbered all other genres combined.
I just realized this is called Endgame...
End game what is the end? The rear end?
And Evangeline Lilly is the wasps girlfriend? What else was she in? Lost. And in Lost they say “we have to go back!”
Well, what’s in the back?
The Thanus.
Guys. This is real.
antman is going to give thanus a prostate massage and turn thanus gay. then thanus will snap his finger to bring the other half of the universe back, but now they're all gay too :-[
Do not underestimate audiences's willingness to see the same thing again and again.QuoteAfter the Western's renewed commercial successes in the late 1930s, the popularity of the Western continued to rise until its peak in the 1950s, when the number of Western films produced outnumbered all other genres combined.
(In US production I guess, but still.)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_(genre) (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_(genre))
Western were ubiquitous for 30 years and that was after having gone through one long huge stretch as a popular genre not that long before.
We still have, at least, ten years of that shit ahead of us, I'm afraid.
I don’t think the problem with the MCU is that the movies pander, are predictable, and have mediocre acting.I enjoy them on a base 'cool action movie' level. Hitting the cinema with friends and watching the latest Marvel slog is good fun.
Theyre really no better or worse than the dumb popcorn flicks we have had for years and years and years.
The real problem with them is that a lot of people Stan for the movies and pretend they are something more than they are. I genuinely enjoy the movies, look forward to seeing them, and enjoy complaining about the dumber aspects of them. I only find them annoying when someone starts talking about how amazing they are.

How dare you compare them to Speed 2 or Die Harder :doge :sabu
I don't think there's really ever been a good Hollywood fad, otherwise they would have stuck around and become the norm instead of being a passing fad.Hollywood in the 70's would bankroll just about anything from some highfalutin' artiste (bonus points if they were Italian) until they figured out that Micheal Cimino was just a guy with a great coke connection.
Westerns could be Deep st least. Most hero flicks are pandering garbage.
The vast, vast majority of Westerns are/were pandering garbage, too, breh. The only genre more pandering than Westerns was war movies that were outright propaganda.Also, a lot of Westerns were parables or whatever that used the Western setting as framing.
There are three "wait I'll give you the stone!" moments in the movie.One of these is for the deus ex machina in the sequel. The movie even pointed it out.
Loki doing it for Thor
Gamora for her "sister" (what)
Strange for Stark
At least in FFVII, Sephiroth uses mind control to control Cloud, here everyone gives him what he wants willingly.
Now let's look at the Infinity War. They're trying to save the galaxy/universe from someone who can kill half the galaxy with a finger snap, but aside from the flashback with Gamora there's nothing intimate about its storytelling.
Black Panther was as trash as any other Marvel movie :lol
Black Panther was as trash as any other Marvel movie :lol
Regarding the whole intimacy argument. Being a loose adaptation of Infinity Gauntlet storyline, it having a small, intimate cast was an impossible proposition to begin with. On top of that, it's not like any movie with a smallish cast is automatically good.
I think if you made the distinction between "this doesn't work for me" and "people are wrong to enjoy this and it's ruining everything!" it would be good for your blood pressure.
It's hard to get over a glaring question of "if Thanos wants the rings to destroy half the galaxy why won't he just use his ultimate power to create more resources?"
I mean there's literally people irl who hold similar attitudes as Thanos, but whatevs
