20 minutes until the movie starts for me! I figured I would start one so we know where to all commiserate and hug once we walk out of the theater.

I accidentally (idiotically) googled Endgame gif’s and had to try to close out the tab without seeing anything spoilering. I think I saw one but 🤐🤐🤐🤐

I can’t go until Saturday, but H is going tonight. He jokingly said he’s going to wake me up when he gets home by whispering spoilers in my ear. I said I would either wake up and punch him, or have some weird fucking dreams. I am so excited for Saturday. But also not, if that makes sense.

Okay so some of my thoughts.
I cannot believe they killed Nat off. I really thought she would end up being one of the ones who lived. And honestly from the sounds of all the shit Clint did I am totally team Clint should have died. Harsh as that sounds.
I am so sad they killed Tony off but I figured he would be the one making the sacrifice. Im glad his daughter survived and exists in the first place. I totally teared up when he gave Cap his shield back.
FUCKING OMG YES TO CAP WIELDING MJOLNIR and Thor yelling "I knew it!"
I am here for all of the therapy for Cap
I totally ship Rhodey and Nebula
Im sad we didnt get more of a funeral thing for Nat just one for Tony.
Im glad Captain Marvel didnt come in and be the end all be all but she was a badass.
I wish we would have had less of them being in the past and seen more of the battle.
Hell yes to Pepper Potts being the suit.
FUCK YES girl power with that fight scene, but I wish Nat could have been a part of it.
I love Valkyrie becoming Queen of Asgard.
I loved seeing the aftermath of the Battle of New York, the Hulk stairs thing was hilarious.
I was not a huge fan of HulkBruce
I was a little confused on the time travel thing. Can Gamora exist in the future before she meets Quill? How will she meet Quill now? How did Steve and Peggy end up together, what about the rest of her family? Like she was married with kids.
But I did love that he got to have a future with Peggy, like MY HEART!!! If I couldnt have Cap/Nat that was the next best thing.
I am a fan of Falcon becoming the new Cap, but I did want it to be Bucky.
I CRIED like a bitch when Dr. Strange opened all the portal and everyone came out.
I have tons more thoughts but that good enough for now lol.

The Mjolnir moment was one where the entire theater cheered and I loved every bit of that! The whole final battle was epic and beautiful and everything I could have hoped for. This movie gave me all the character moments that I missed in Infinity War. oh man, I don't even know where to start.
I loved how they used Captain Marvel sparingly, but in spectacular ways. I am stupidly happy they cut her hair. Like ridiculously stupidly happy.
The Clint and Natasha fighting each other to sacrifice themselves was heartbreaking.
This movie was funny! Like, not even a little bit!
I loved Professor Hulk and you can fight me on that. It's the perfect conclusion of Bruce/Hulk's journey. Ragnarok is spent with him stuck as Hulk, and then Infinity War, he's stuck as Bruce and can't coax Hulk out, and he realizes he needs to be both in order to be himself.
I don't even care that the timeline thing makes no sense (like, how does Infinity War happen if 2014 Thanos is dusted...). Not one bit lol. Maybe I'll care on my second or third rewatch, but not right now.
This movie was such a love letter to the whole Avengers saga and revisiting the Battle of NY (and Cap in the elevator, we cheered when he whispered "Hail Hydra") and Tony getting to see his dad one last time, and when Cap sees Peggy through the window, oh my heart.
Fucking Happy with the kid at the end made me cry like a baby. I mean, I was already crying, but that just crushed me.
I didn't love the Fat!Thor trope, but I did respect their commitment to it and lack of "Thor suddenly gets his six pack back" scene. And when he suits up for the final battle and has the braided viking beard it was perfect.
The Woman power scene in the battle was amazing and epic and I don't even care that it was a bit cheesy and precious, it was everything I have ever wanted and more.
I am reeling and elated and sad and a whirlwind of emotions. Damn that was good.

I basically echo everything mischief, said. I loved it all. I am very sad that Nat was killed too. I had always hoped that they would do a standalone black widow movie. And I was sad that Vision didn't get brought back, because I love the Scarlet Witch and want her to be happy. I was secretly hoping Deadpool would somehow make a cameo, like walking out of the portals when everyone else did. Hulk/Bruce was too much. I'm glad he was at peace with what he was, but idk. He was kind of a buttface as that person. Out of shape Thor was funny, but then I felt guilty for laughing at how he was handling his PTSD...not his PTSD persay, but obviously he was struggling and I felt bad for laughing. The girl power part was amazing. I really do love Brie Larson as Capt Marvel. I love that Peggy and Steve married, but weird that he kisses her niece in the past, because now is there two alternate realities for who Peggy ends up with? Also confused. Is there a 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy movie? Will they talk about how Gamora is alive in the past but future Gamora is dead? Again, confused. How is Thanos so powerful even without the Infinity Stones? That part I don't get. Capt Marvel even was struggling against him and I thought she was the most powerful?

And does Loki survive since he escaped with the Tesserect? Or does he still die by Thanos in the future? I was confused that he just wasn't shown anymore after that scene.

Seeing movie this pm, but already pretty spoiled.
I believe the Black Widow movie is still a go - they have actors and director attached to it and everything. I think they've always said it would be a prequel. I agree, seems weird, but hey. Rumor says Winter Soldier might appear in it as well.
I understand yes to third Guardians movie. They already had a script by James Gunn, and I read that Gunn is listed as a producer in Endgame so presumably he was read in on any developments he needed at the time he was writing? And, yeah, Gunn is working for Marvel again.
Did it seem to those who have seen it that Bucky already knew Steve's plan at the end? And approved? Yeah, I'm biased here....LOL

I went last night. I’m not a huge marvel person but I thought I’d jump in. I liked: Gamora being back. Yay! I’m not super excited that she is basically lost her whole character arc, but I like her Tony’s hesitation about changing the past because he didn’t want to jeopardize the existence of his daughter. I felt that, hard. Also tony finding the pic of Peter. Aw. I liked the overall family themes of the movie The ending battle. Everyone got a little character moment. Pretty much everything Ant Man said or did
Did not like: Dr Hulk. The cgi was rough and he couldn’t emote Some of the poor planning of the mission. Dr Hulkwas like “iM hErE tO GeT YoUr StOnE” Dafuq? Why did you think she would just hand it over? What was your plan? I didn’t love that they made Thor fat. I get that they didn’t want him to be too much of a downer with you know, the death of everyone he loves and his whole planet, but I don’t think fat jokes were the way to lighten the mood Thor joining the guardians. They are my fave and I’m not sure about this. Some of the fetch quests were more engaging than others No end credits scene!! Everyone held their pee for 3 hours, marvel! We waited an extra 10 for nothing!
Questions: I’m leaving out most of the time travel ones because we were pretty much told to not worry about it. So I’m not bothering. But let’s all agree most of that shit makes no sense. But I think they left the door open to Loki being alive? Right? Why else would they have him disappear with the stone? Also, I’m not sure how that wouldn’t definitely change the past as it completely undermined the ending of the first avengers movie...did the avengers just shrug at that point when they realized he was gone? How the hell did they return the soul stone? Just hand it back to red skull?

Oh, and this is petty, but I do think it was morally gray to snap and erase Thanos’s whole army. Obviously they were combatants, but I side eye it a little because snapping and wiping out life was framed as pretty morally reprehensible.

We just got out of the theater, and I am still processing everything. I have mixed feelings on Hulk. I'm glad that Bruce and the Hulk can coexist, but it seemed like such a huge shift for his character. It was weird to see him taking pics with his fans.
I did enjoy Nebula's character arc, and it was fun to see her character foil as herself.
I also thought it was interesting that Thanos only killed 50% of earth but all of the people on the other planet. Selfish jerk...

Still processing myself. Even though I was pretty spoiled, I found so many things took me by surprise or really affected me more than I thought.
I think all in all this was a truly great completion of so many arcs (even though I'll probably be pondering Captain America for quite a while - hoping the writers and the Russos do so interviews talking about how they arrived at that arc.)
I thought they used Captain Marvel just about right, and kudos to both sets of directors for getting the character so well-formed before her own movie even started production.
As a Stucky fan I was a little disappointed at the brevity of their interaction - although I loved the way Cap distracted Cap by saying Bucky was alive. Having said that, Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan can do more with a look, a nod, a smile and a hug than so many actors. And I totally think Bucky knew and approved of Steve's intentions at the end.
And Samuel L Jackson can just stand there and project a million feelings.
I think I'll see the movie again next week LOL

Well, that's my main thought process. I lost it during that scene. As soon as they got to Vormir, I tensed up and started tearing up. By the time they were fighting over who would do it, I was full on crying. When they showed her body splayed out on the ground, broken and bloody, I just lost it. Like, full on ugly crying in the middle of the theater. Didn't even care. MH tried to tell me to "calm down", which got him a very strong rebuke.
Overall, I loved the movie. It closed up all the loose ends with a giant beautiful fucking bow. Key points as follows:
Scott is officially the comic relief of the MCU. He had some awesome lines and interactions. I particularly liked him with Rocket.
The time heist was equal parts funny and sad. I loved how all the main guys got a special moment, either with another Avenger (Clint and Nat), or someone from their past. The scenes with Thor's mom and Tony's dad were particularly touching.
I'm a tad pissed that Nat didn't get a sweet funeral or send off. All she got was a group pouting scene. Fuckers.
I loved the big fight scene at the end. I absolutely started crying again when all the portals started opening and the fallen came back. Like, God, it was beautiful. Seeing everyone reunited to face Thanos was amazing.
That girl power montage was bittersweet. Like, I loved it, it was awesome. But I started crying again, and was muttering "everyone but Black Widow" for the entire scene.
Loved Cap being worthy. That was cool. And watching them bounce weapons back and forth was amazing. It was hysterical when Thor was like give me back Storm breaker when they ended up with the opposite weapon. Like, Cap can have the hammer, sure, but not Stormbreaker.
Oh Tony. I lost it at his last words. A very fitting end to such a prominent character. The funeral was very sweet. I cried, a lot.
The happy ending montage at the end was lovely.
I loved the idea of Cap living out his life with Peggy. So now he's retired, lol.
Those are all the thoughts I can sparse out right now. I'm still heartbroken about Nat. She's been my favorite since IM2. Hell, she was the best part of that mediocre movie. And now she's gone! I cried when we got the car, and kept saying "I can't believe they killed her" over and over again.
I should stop typing before I start ugly crying again.

I am not ok. I AM NOT OK. THEY KILLED BLACK WIDOW. THEY KILLED MY BOO. I. AM. NOT. OK. I hadn't seen that one coming before the spoilers started coming out. When I saw the scene, I thought about Peggy Carter's line about giving your friend the respect of making his own decisions, after Bucky's death, no matter how it hurts. I'm still processing so much, and plan to see this movie again very soon. But I was struck by Nat's choices in particular - in her theme of wanting to balance her ledger through her actions throughout the movie (keeping the team going, pushing to act on behalf of the fallen, etc.. Her last act was her choice above all and greater love hath no one than to give their life for another. For Clint, his family, for the fallen, for the universe. Yep, I cried and she's not even my favorite. Natasha was a hero among heroes. another thought - I said to a friend that I thought Tony laid himself on the wire, knowing no last tricks might work. I cried for him too but really broke down at the cheeseburger reference later in the film.

I kind of loved Steve becoming a counselor, like Sam.
also woke up thinking that Bucky may have been able to make his first free and self-aware choice in over 80 years at the end of the movie. And that he loved his friend enough to want his happiness even above his own. Also, like Nat, Bucky seems so aware of the red in his ledger, incurred willingly or not, and may not feel he's the best candidate to carry the legacy of Captain America forward. Darn, I can't wait til the Disney+ show comes out and I hope part of it is exploring the ramifications of all these choices.
Yes, I'm convinced Bucky knew, and participated in, Steve's plans at the end. I'm sticking with that til the Russos tell me otherwise LOL

Saw it this morning. I'm so emotionally spent, I loved it. I'm a huge Paul Rudd fan and loved his part in this. When he was frantically searching for Cassie's name, then seeing her. I was a mess. I can't even tell you how many times I cried. And the fucking cheeseburger conversation at the end, so many tears. I have very few things that I didn't love, but I do wish they had done more of an acknowledgement for Nat and Vision at the end. Can't wait to see it again, too bad it will probably be the end of May before I can make it back.
