00:00:30.379 --> 00:00:32.679
Welcome to We Can Watch This All Day, the Marlboro
2
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:35.460
Alliance MCU Rewatch. This is a show where we will
3
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.500
be rewatching and giving our thoughts on each of the
4
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.539
MCU projects as we watch them in chronological order as
5
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.679
it fits into the sacred MCU timeline. I'm the man
6
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:45.600
without fear, Chris.
7
00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:47.380
I'm your friendly neighborhood, Brent.
8
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:54.579
Alliance Assemble. All right, we have reached number 22, and
9
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.619
as he famously said, dread it, run for it, destiny
10
00:00:58.659 --> 00:01:02.399
arrives all the same. We have now reached infinity war, Brent.
11
00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:06.930
I love that line. I love that quote. I hear it.
12
00:01:07.109 --> 00:01:11.250
I hear Josh Brolin's delivery when I read those words.
13
00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:15.730
Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.
14
00:01:15.750 --> 00:01:20.349
All right, take me back. Take me back to 2018.
15
00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:23.430
Take me back to April 2018, because remember this movie
16
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:26.590
came out a week early. What were your thoughts going
17
00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:29.609
into it? Were you confident they were going to live
18
00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:32.150
up to the hype with this, with what they were
19
00:01:32.189 --> 00:01:34.969
describing as the most epic crossover, or at least what
20
00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:37.079
the fans were? And keep in mind, it became a
21
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:39.840
hilarious meme at the time of the most epic crossover
22
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:43.079
there ever was. What were you thinking going into this?
23
00:01:43.739 --> 00:01:46.319
I was kind of hoping going into it that this
24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:52.870
would be the MCU's Empire Strikes Back, losses are going
25
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:55.469
to be felt like they were going to lose and
26
00:01:55.510 --> 00:01:58.650
lose big in order to make... Thanos had been upping
27
00:01:58.670 --> 00:02:03.170
his appearances in prior projects here and there. But in
28
00:02:03.230 --> 00:02:07.890
order for us comic fans, we know how bad Thanos is.
29
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.400
And when he comes coming into any of the comics,
30
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.400
we know there's going to be a body count associated
31
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.259
with this. So the fact that they've been leading up
32
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.500
towards what the, the, you know, the storyline was the
33
00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:24.629
infinity gauntlet and what happens in there. We were at least,
34
00:02:24.770 --> 00:02:26.370
you know, I know you and I and other fans
35
00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:28.110
were like, okay, there's going to be a body count
36
00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:33.289
of this, but how are they going to do the snap? Like,
37
00:02:33.349 --> 00:02:35.419
how is that going to be affected? So, I mean,
38
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.759
I was going into with some expectations, but not knowing,
39
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.439
but I said this, I want this to be their
40
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:42.360
empire strikes back.
41
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.539
I feel like they probably achieved that. I think most
42
00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:47.919
people would agree with that. There's a lot of people.
43
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.520
This is one of those movies that is in that
44
00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:54.360
group of Marvel movies where people will say it's their
45
00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:56.120
favorite one. There's a lot of people who think this
46
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.020
is it. This is the movie that Marvel at its
47
00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:01.340
absolute best. And I understand why they say so. Is
48
00:03:01.419 --> 00:03:04.340
it my favorite one? No, no, it's not. But it's
49
00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:07.039
in that category of you tell me it's your favorite one.
50
00:03:07.530 --> 00:03:09.449
I get it. I get it. I can't be upset.
51
00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:13.810
Can't be mad. For me, it was... I had tons
52
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.240
of faith in them, obviously, at this point. I was super,
53
00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:20.439
super excited with everything the Phase 3 had been giving us.
54
00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:24.219
You know, we started with Civil War, going up through... Well,
55
00:03:24.259 --> 00:03:26.159
at this point, we were... What was the last one
56
00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:30.740
before this? Black Panther. And so, it's... Is that right? Yeah.
57
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.860
Black Panther was the right... By release schedule, was the
58
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.539
last one before this. Technically, A Man of the Lost
59
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.139
takes place before it, which is why we did that
60
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.259
one last month. But... I was super hyped up. And
61
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.020
the thing, one of the things I was the most
62
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.080
excited for was getting to see these characters interact that
63
00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:50.620
we don't usually get to see, or in many cases
64
00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:55.650
have never gotten to see with the, the guardians of
65
00:03:55.669 --> 00:04:00.349
the universe. Like basically we hadn't seen them interact at
66
00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:04.069
all with anybody from the Avengers movies, right?
67
00:04:04.430 --> 00:04:05.689
There's the galaxy.
68
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.639
Yeah. Yeah. Guardians of the galaxy. Sorry. Not guardians of
69
00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:12.490
the universe. There's, Sort of little like Six Degrees of
70
00:04:12.530 --> 00:04:17.050
Seven Bacon where the Collector was in a credit scene
71
00:04:17.189 --> 00:04:23.810
with Sif and Volstagg. And they obviously interacted with Thor
72
00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:26.829
Load full transcript
and the Collector interacted with the Guardians. But that's really
73
00:04:26.850 --> 00:04:30.089
the only... And then there's the Thanos connection, but Thanos
74
00:04:30.170 --> 00:04:33.629
hadn't interacted with them yet. It just hadn't... We hadn't
75
00:04:33.670 --> 00:04:38.240
got there yet. We hadn't seen... how they would play
76
00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:41.480
off of them. And it turns out some of the coolest,
77
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:45.170
like most fun scenes in this movie are just the
78
00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:48.509
guardians playing off of the other characters. And that was,
79
00:04:48.649 --> 00:04:50.649
that was what something I really wanted to see out
80
00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:53.189
of this was how these two different groups of characters
81
00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:54.970
would mesh. Yeah.
82
00:04:54.990 --> 00:04:57.850
And especially, you know, we see where the guardians, you know,
83
00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:00.449
where we end off in volume three, I'd forgotten like,
84
00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:03.720
Oh my gosh, here's, here's our Gamora, you know, here's
85
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.980
the Gamora that we had got. I kind of, slightly
86
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.339
forgotten in the sense of how, how different, you know,
87
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.720
I knew how different, but it was one of those, man,
88
00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:13.779
it's been a while. Like when we, you and I
89
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.579
proposed doing this full for patron at that point, I
90
00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:20.199
have not, I have purposely not rewatched any of these
91
00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:23.000
movies until we get to it in order to kind
92
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.720
of preserve what we were kind of hoping to do
93
00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:28.399
with this, with this series. So like I said, it
94
00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:31.180
had been probably almost two plus years since I've seen
95
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:31.660
this movie.
96
00:05:32.310 --> 00:05:34.899
I think the only exception I did to that was
97
00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:39.920
before Quantumania. We rewatched, well, we naturally, because of the show,
98
00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:43.120
rewatched the first Ant-Man movie. And then we went ahead
99
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.279
and rewatched Ant-Man and the Lost going into it. And
100
00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:48.790
then I've watched that movie another time with my son
101
00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:52.990
just because he likes Ant-Man. But that's it. Other than those,
102
00:05:53.389 --> 00:05:55.389
that's the only one I've gone out of order on
103
00:05:55.709 --> 00:05:56.930
for this entire project.
104
00:05:58.050 --> 00:05:59.490
So you're right.
105
00:05:59.589 --> 00:06:02.970
The Guard of the Galaxy, seeing them interact just getting
106
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:06.009
some of these characters or you know just seeing the
107
00:06:06.050 --> 00:06:10.209
characters interact post civil war where it was left off
108
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:12.920
at that point was going to be also fascinating to.
109
00:06:12.949 --> 00:06:17.300
Us it was like uh post civil war even post
110
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.959
age of ultron you know uh skipping the intro of
111
00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:23.459
the movie real quick when hulk shows back up on
112
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.180
earth and he goes to dr strange first well he
113
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.569
lands and dr strange's place first they go to tony
114
00:06:29.589 --> 00:06:32.360
stark like that's the first time tony stark and Bruce
115
00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:39.029
Banner have been together since Ultron. But going back, looking
116
00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:44.230
at the beginning, we've got basically the decimated Asgardian ship.
117
00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:47.689
It's ripped in half. Kenneth Branagh is doing the voiceover
118
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.680
that you hear at the beginning of it that's basically
119
00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:54.350
like a cry for help. It's an SOS message. talking
120
00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.810
about how it's not a warship it's just you know
121
00:06:56.860 --> 00:07:00.399
there's women and children there and thanos has destroyed it
122
00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:02.699
all ebony maz given his spiel that we would hear
123
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.750
a couple times and i feel like they they they
124
00:07:07.769 --> 00:07:11.069
tell us they're not messing around when you kill heimdall
125
00:07:11.449 --> 00:07:14.389
let's be honest in the mcu a relatively minor character
126
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:18.430
played by a very big actor And you kill Loki
127
00:07:18.949 --> 00:07:21.610
within the first, like, what, five minutes? Oh, and Hulk
128
00:07:21.810 --> 00:07:24.769
just got beat down. Like, they really showed us they
129
00:07:24.790 --> 00:07:27.870
weren't messing around. Kind of funny thing from when I
130
00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:31.009
saw Infinity War. I saw it the opening night, and
131
00:07:31.029 --> 00:07:32.810
then I went the next day as well. And that
132
00:07:32.889 --> 00:07:36.629
second day, there was a girl there cosplaying as Loki.
133
00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:40.420
Massive horns and everything. And I'm like, oh, I bet
134
00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:43.949
you you haven't seen it yet. And you're... You're going
135
00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:46.629
to be sad five minutes into this movie.
136
00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:52.519
Yeah, she probably was in for some disappointment very quickly.
137
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:56.459
Marcus and McFeely, when they started writing the script for
138
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.759
this movie, there was no Thor Ragnarok script yet. So
139
00:07:59.779 --> 00:08:04.300
they didn't know where Thanos would find Loki. There are
140
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.819
many drafts of script with Thanos finding Loki in several
141
00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:07.600
different places.
142
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:09.819
Robert Downey Jr.
143
00:08:09.860 -->
00:08:14.089
Had a lot of separate deals going on. from his co-stars,
144
00:08:15.509 --> 00:08:17.600
you know, in the subsequent films at that point. But
145
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.879
the appearances in Civil War and Homecoming were not tied
146
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.899
to this particular deal. This negotiated separately after he completed
147
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.009
his contract to do the Iron Man trilogy. So he
148
00:08:31.050 --> 00:08:32.870
had basically two deals going on at once.
149
00:08:33.929 --> 00:08:37.870
Could you imagine if this deal had fallen through? And like, just...
150
00:08:38.009 --> 00:08:40.429
they do this movie and it wasn't going to, obviously
151
00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:41.860
they were going to do what they had to. And
152
00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.960
they had the autonomy at that point to do it. Like,
153
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.039
I know there was the thing that we talked about.
154
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.559
We're like, I promote her, try to get, keep Tony
155
00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:52.539
Stark out of civil war, but that wasn't going to
156
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.980
happen here. They were going to back up however much
157
00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:58.100
money they needed to back up to in the truck to,
158
00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:58.840
to make it work.
159
00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:04.100
Tom Holland, as we all know, he likes revealing secrets.
160
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.600
There's some great tech talks of how often he's done that.
161
00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:12.169
He was not allowed to read the script for the movie.
162
00:09:13.789 --> 00:09:15.730
And in one of the promotional videos for the movie,
163
00:09:15.809 --> 00:09:18.789
several of his cast members are in an interrogation, refusing
164
00:09:18.809 --> 00:09:23.220
to reveal any spoilers. And Holland's mouth is conspicuously taped shut.
165
00:09:23.269 --> 00:09:28.159
Chadwick Boseman, he had just he production on this movie
166
00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.860
began just two weeks after Black Panther wrapped.
167
00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:32.120
That's a rough schedule.
168
00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:32.659
Yeah.
169
00:09:33.149 --> 00:09:36.029
And that doesn't necessarily mean his parts of it started
170
00:09:36.070 --> 00:09:39.250
that quick. And hopefully not. I don't know. But, man,
171
00:09:39.389 --> 00:09:41.129
that is a quick turnaround time.
172
00:09:41.830 --> 00:09:43.909
I came across this theory. I wanted to see what
173
00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:47.029
you think of it. A fan theory, courtesy of Screen Rant,
174
00:09:47.090 --> 00:09:50.710
established that Thanos had been waiting for Infinity War's events
175
00:09:50.750 --> 00:09:54.840
to take possession of the Infinity Stones because he could
176
00:09:54.889 --> 00:09:58.399
have been stopped by a more powerful than him, like Odin.
177
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.919
the Ancient One, an ego preventing him to fulfill his plan.
178
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.399
With the deaths of these three before Infinity War, Thanos
179
00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:09.940
was free to get the Infinity Stones without any intervention.
180
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.519
I had kind of forgotten about this theory. It's definitely
181
00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:15.779
slightly plausible.
182
00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:21.600
It is plausible if... If you think Thanos is tracking that,
183
00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:24.440
he had to know that Odin was already weak before that. Odin,
184
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.440
I mean, Odin, he was out of the game prior
185
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.620
to it. Ego, sure. Who was the third one you said?
186
00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.159
The Ancient One.
187
00:10:32.710 --> 00:10:38.330
Okay. I don't know that the Ancient One would be
188
00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:40.370
so much more powerful than what we would get from
189
00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:42.850
Doctor Strange and Wong and everyone combined that Thanos would
190
00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:46.129
have worried about it there. But regardless, it's an interesting theory.
191
00:10:46.909 --> 00:10:48.909
It'd make for a fun What If episode to see
192
00:10:48.970 --> 00:10:52.549
him Trying it and those three coming together and dealing
193
00:10:52.590 --> 00:10:52.909
with him.
194
00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:53.830
Yeah, that would be.
195
00:10:54.850 --> 00:10:57.549
I've always subscribed more to the theory of he waited
196
00:10:57.629 --> 00:11:01.529
until he had a rough idea or a concrete idea
197
00:11:01.789 --> 00:11:05.509
where the bulk of the stones were. He knew the
198
00:11:05.549 --> 00:11:08.100
Power Stone was on Xandar. He knew the Space Stone
199
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.419
was with the Asgardians. Even when Thor didn't know that,
200
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.679
he knew that. Or no, I'm sorry, the Power Stone
201
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.340
was with the Collector. No, he had the Reality Stone.
202
00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:18.019
I'm mixing up where they're all at. Reality Stone was
203
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.389
with the Collector. He knew that. Power Stone on Xandar,
204
00:11:20.629 --> 00:11:24.029
he knew that. Space Stone with the Asgardians, he knew that.
205
00:11:24.429 --> 00:11:26.929
He already had a good idea that he needed to
206
00:11:26.950 --> 00:11:30.049
go to Gamora to find out about Vormir. He knew
207
00:11:30.190 --> 00:11:33.889
where so many of the stones were or had it
208
00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:36.559
limited to a planet, which when you're talking about a
209
00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:40.940
cosmic scale is a relatively small area. He kind of
210
00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.320
weighed it. The whole movie, we don't get dates, but
211
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.019
it seems like it really only takes place within a
212
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.889
few days of each other. And like at most. And
213
00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:51.789
it just seems like he waited until he could grab
214
00:11:51.929 -->
00:11:54.740
as many of them at one time. So he couldn't
215
00:11:54.779 --> 00:11:56.299
be overpowered by people like that.
216
00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:00.080
Hey, you know, he's very much a planner at that point.
217
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.539
And he was able to, every time the heroes thought
218
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.799
they were ahead of him at that point, he was still,
219
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.779
he had expected it.
220
00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:11.809
Yeah. It's exactly right.
221
00:12:12.950 --> 00:12:13.490
So you're right.
222
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:16.870
And it's, And you just, like you said, you witnessed the,
223
00:12:17.169 --> 00:12:22.340
the all power of him basically taking down the basically
224
00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:28.000
half of the Asgardians, you know, cause we were watching this.
225
00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:30.240
Aaron was saying, I was like, did he just, how did,
226
00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:33.120
how were there people still alive necessarily? Cause you get to,
227
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.519
is it, oh, this just half of them. There were,
228
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.600
there was another ship.
229
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.059
Right. So they have to rebuild. They, they lost who
230
00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:44.629
knows how many people from Hela's, from Hela's, you know,
231
00:12:44.750 --> 00:12:48.009
occupation in Thor Ragnarok. And then add to that, they
232
00:12:48.049 --> 00:12:52.570
lost half of the remainder, roughly, ballpark. And in the
233
00:12:52.590 --> 00:12:54.700
beginning of Infinity War, there is not a lot of
234
00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:57.299
people left for new Asgard and Endgame five years later.
235
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.220
Now, this has always been like some people's complaint about
236
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.019
this movie in the sense of Hulk, you know, that
237
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.700
Thanos takes.
238
00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.500
Him down very quickly.
239
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.299
And we really see this kind of, you know, we
240
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.700
don't see Hulk again in this form.
241
00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.419
Since then at that point.
242
00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:18.450
And, you know, we get to, you know, towards the
243
00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.110
end of the movie, we have that deleted scene where
244
00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:22.370
we get, we were supposed to get our first look
245
00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:24.470
at Professor Hulk at the end.
246
00:13:25.190 --> 00:13:30.129
Yeah, I, the explanation I've heard for that since is,
247
00:13:30.289 --> 00:13:32.340
and I can't remember if this came from an interview
248
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.320
or from the, from one of the commentary tracks, but
249
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.240
basically at the Battle of Wakanda, they were losing, they
250
00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:42.970
were getting beat. They were going to lose for the movie.
251
00:13:43.029 --> 00:13:47.509
Thanos gets all the stones, he snaps. Hulk and Banner
252
00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:52.909
have been dealing with this the whole time. That Hulk
253
00:13:53.450 --> 00:13:55.779
or Banner, I should say, figuring this out and getting
254
00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:00.919
it so they could merge together. It absolutely was a win.
255
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.539
It would have been a victory. And they didn't want
256
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.460
to have victories in this movie. And if you think
257
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.860
about it, there's nothing else there that you can call
258
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.950
a victory. I mean, yes, some of the Avengers happen
259
00:14:10.990 --> 00:14:13.269
to survive, but it's not a victory to me. That's
260
00:14:13.289 --> 00:14:17.809
just the way it breaks down to half and half.
261
00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:22.500
If they had let Hulk become Professor Hulk, Smart Hulk,
262
00:14:22.509 --> 00:14:24.559
whatever you want to call him, that's a win in
263
00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:26.559
the middle of all the chaos and the loss? I
264
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.440
don't know. I think I agree with the decision. I understand, though,
265
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.820
why people wanted to see more. People are confused how
266
00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:36.830
Thanos beat Hulk so quickly. To me, I chalk that
267
00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:41.240
up to Thanos is probably– close in ballpark to Hulk strength.
268
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.299
I don't think he's as strong, but strong enough add
269
00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:46.879
to it, his superior fighting skills, which he shows in that,
270
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.159
that he was able to win, you know, it's not
271
00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:51.559
that big a deal to me. The only real downside
272
00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:54.470
to this is that one shot of Banner's head sticking
273
00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:57.090
out of the whole cluster that just looks a bit
274
00:14:57.169 --> 00:14:59.970
wonky CGI wise that everybody likes to always post and
275
00:14:59.990 --> 00:15:01.690
bring up. Yeah.
276
00:15:01.710 --> 00:15:05.090
You know, floating Mark Ruffalo had it, you know, I.
277
00:15:05.490 --> 00:15:07.269
Go back and forth on it. Like every other time
278
00:15:07.330 --> 00:15:10.149
I see that picture, uh, it's like it comes down
279
00:15:10.190 --> 00:15:12.110
to the quality of the gif or whatever i'm looking
280
00:15:12.169 --> 00:15:14.129
at because i'm like in this one it doesn't look
281
00:15:14.149 --> 00:15:16.049
that bad but that one it looks really bad and
282
00:15:16.610 --> 00:15:18.840
in the grand scheme of things like that's the shot
283
00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:20.799
that's the one shot that people seem to point out
284
00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:21.860
fine you can have it.
285
00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:24.919
Yeah and it's very interesting you know in the sense
286
00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:26.519
of like when you talk about the stones at that
287
00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:30.769
point the
difference of the stones versus uh what they
288
00:15:30.809 --> 00:15:33.149
have in the mcu you know the original color is
289
00:15:33.889 --> 00:15:37.639
are the soul's green, time is orange, space is purple,
290
00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:40.559
mind is blue, reality is yellow, and power is red.
291
00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:44.320
The MCU, they go soul is orange, time is green,
292
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.539
space is blue, mind is yellow, reality red, and power
293
00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:49.230
is purple.
294
00:15:49.889 --> 00:15:52.639
Yeah, and I never really understood why they changed it.
295
00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:56.740
I've heard explanations, but I never really... I don't remember
296
00:15:56.769 --> 00:15:58.080
what they were off the top of my head. And
297
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.419
I think it was just one of those things that
298
00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:03.419
the stones they were using earlier, they liked the colors
299
00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:06.000
and the way the colors looked in the movie production process.
300
00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.399
So they changed them and then they just had to
301
00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:10.399
deal with it by the time they got to all
302
00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:13.759
the others. That's the, that's to my recollection what it is,
303
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.720
but I could be forgetting something there.
304
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:18.059
And now in the comics, like they're the stones are
305
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.179
now living people.
306
00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.519
What issue is that in?
307
00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:26.730
Oh, that's a whole thing at that point. They're embodimental.
308
00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:31.409
Well, clearly I haven't read those. What storyline is that? Avengers?
309
00:16:31.549 --> 00:16:36.429
X-Men? No. Avengers, like, I'm trying to look at mine. Well,
310
00:16:36.450 --> 00:16:37.789
I want to get it right at that point.
311
00:16:37.870 --> 00:16:38.409
Okay, okay.
312
00:16:38.470 --> 00:16:39.870
I gotcha.
313
00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:42.190
I'll find out later. Don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah.
314
00:16:42.269 --> 00:16:43.350
It'll come to me at that point.
315
00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:47.330
But I haven't read those. So that's something that's, you know,
316
00:16:47.570 --> 00:16:50.769
embodiment of, like, Okay, sure.
317
00:16:51.070 --> 00:16:52.230
A little homework for you, right?
318
00:16:52.250 --> 00:16:54.720
Sure. I don't mind that.
319
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:58.679
You know, you're getting, you know, Incredible Hulk being, you know,
320
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.409
Loki dying at that point. Did you really think that
321
00:17:02.450 --> 00:17:05.329
was it for Tom Hiddleston? I, so here's the thing
322
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:05.829
I did.
323
00:17:05.849 --> 00:17:08.950
I did think that one, there hadn't been a peep
324
00:17:09.029 --> 00:17:12.690
of rumors about what would become the Loki TV show that,
325
00:17:13.049 --> 00:17:17.299
that the variant of the character would survive too. I
326
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.980
went into this movie expecting this to be the last
327
00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:24.680
time I saw some of these characters. And technically it
328
00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:27.079
really hasn't come to pass, right? We got a variant
329
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.599
of Loki. We've got a variant of Gamora running around
330
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.289
right now. Um, And even Heimdall we saw in the
331
00:17:33.329 --> 00:17:37.710
credit scene of Thor, Love and Thunder. But I expected
332
00:17:37.750 --> 00:17:41.130
it to be the final, final take on some of
333
00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:44.109
these characters. And so, yes, when, when they killed Loki
334
00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:46.930
and they said no resurrections this time, when Thanos says that,
335
00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:50.390
I absolutely thought that he, he was done. And he's
336
00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:52.470
not the only character I thought was going to bite
337
00:17:52.490 --> 00:17:54.029
it in this movie who turned out didn't.
338
00:17:54.049 --> 00:17:59.500
Yeah. And it's, It was just one of those moments like,
339
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.220
oh my gosh, he really does look dead. It just
340
00:18:03.329 --> 00:18:04.509
doesn't seem possible.
341
00:18:05.809 --> 00:18:08.450
Yeah, they did a really good job on that makeup.
342
00:18:08.490 --> 00:18:10.829
He looks disgusting, frankly.
343
00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:16.569
And you get Heimdall saving Hulk before Thanos pulls the chip.
344
00:18:17.430 --> 00:18:21.410
I didn't think that Thor was going to bite it
345
00:18:21.450 --> 00:18:22.970
in that sequence.
346
00:18:22.990 --> 00:18:24.450
No, Thor I thought was safe.
347
00:18:25.769 --> 00:18:34.119
But when Hulk crashes down into you know after Thanos
348
00:18:34.150 --> 00:18:37.230
has that one stone but he basically what I did
349
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.279
appreciate in the sense of Thanos beating Hulk is that
350
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.680
he beats him without a stone like he's trying to
351
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.460
prove like it's to really establish that even the quote
352
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.059
unquote biggest baddest you know creature that we have in
353
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.559
the MCU he can't beat Thanos.
354
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.259
As Ebony Moth says let him have his fun Yeah, exactly.
355
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.579
And yeah, there's people saying he used the stone, that
356
00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:04.019
he had the stone so he was powered up by it. No,
357
00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:07.619
every other time in the movie, the stones flare when
358
00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:10.480
he uses them. They didn't miss it this one time.
359
00:19:10.819 --> 00:19:13.519
He did that with himself. I like at this opening
360
00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:17.589
how Heimdall, you mentioned Heimdall, he uses his dark magic.
361
00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:19.480
He says
something like, let the dark magic flow through me.
362
00:19:19.849 --> 00:19:22.430
Shoots Hulk off to what ends up being the Sanctum Sanctorum.
363
00:19:22.869 --> 00:19:26.029
That's basically replicating what happens to Silver Surfer in the
364
00:19:26.069 --> 00:19:29.119
Infinity Gauntlet comic books. where silver surfer comes crashing down
365
00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:32.119
into and on basically dr strange's.
366
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:36.259
Lab um so it's you know i like these these
367
00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:39.359
explanations these ideas that we kind of get for the
368
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.130
it's almost like again it's like everyone's first comic so
369
00:19:42.170 --> 00:19:44.849
what if this is their first movie you know didn't
370
00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:47.599
see or didn't see enough of the movies Wong basically
371
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.019
reestablishes what the the Infinity Stones are and how they
372
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.740
come about.
373
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:53.759
Yeah and you know you got to get a little
374
00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.579
bit you got to catch up catch up the normal
375
00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:58.460
people who don't go see all these movies repeatedly over
376
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.000
and over and over again the way that we do
377
00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:01.160
you got.
378
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.349
To have that moment yeah and it helps but especially
379
00:20:04.369 --> 00:20:08.160
for someone like Tony Stark who you know This is
380
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.069
kind of like, eh, not sure about that.
381
00:20:10.670 --> 00:20:13.730
Yeah, I mean, he had a little bit of interaction
382
00:20:13.769 --> 00:20:17.730
with a couple stones, but he didn't have the experience
383
00:20:17.750 --> 00:20:19.369
with all of them. He doesn't have the knowledge about
384
00:20:19.390 --> 00:20:22.190
them that the Guardians have. He didn't get the spiel
385
00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:25.220
the Guardians did from the Collector. And note the Guardians
386
00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:27.119
didn't get a spiel on what the stones were all
387
00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:30.519
about because they already knew. But Tony Stark had never
388
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.019
had that story given to him, and so he was
389
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.380
able to get that. Which also serves to catch up
390
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.269
the audience, like I said.
391
00:20:38.029 --> 00:20:43.009
And especially where, you know, where Bruce doesn't know what
392
00:20:43.069 --> 00:20:44.970
happened with Civil War. He was gone at that point,
393
00:20:45.029 --> 00:20:48.190
finding out that the Avengers are over, the Avengers are done.
394
00:20:48.210 --> 00:20:51.430
And mainly because, you know, a lot of other things,
395
00:20:51.470 --> 00:20:53.210
but because Tony won't pick up the phone and ask
396
00:20:53.250 --> 00:20:53.589
for help.
397
00:20:54.349 --> 00:20:57.240
Yeah. And he says something like, I don't care who
398
00:20:57.259 --> 00:21:00.380
you're mad at. Like you call, everybody calls and you know,
399
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.700
he would find that, find that phone in the rubble
400
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.309
after that opening, opening shot there. And, uh, After Iron
401
00:21:06.329 --> 00:21:09.779
Man and Spider-Man go flying off into space, Bruce does
402
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.599
find this and call Steve. But I would have liked
403
00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:14.240
to have seen what Steve would have had to say
404
00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:17.220
to that. His reaction would have been to Bruce being
405
00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:18.220
on the other end of that phone.
406
00:21:20.450 --> 00:21:23.650
Yeah, and the idea of like, hey, I kind of
407
00:21:23.670 --> 00:21:24.170
need your help.
408
00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:26.599
There's aliens. Oh, there's always aliens.
409
00:21:26.690 --> 00:21:29.319
Oh, this is the alien at that point to come
410
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.200
down and take us all down.
411
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.539
Exactly. You know, New York, that was Loki. Like, the
412
00:21:35.579 --> 00:21:39.000
guy behind him, that's who is attacking. Now, but let's
413
00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:40.990
be real. If that had been our intro to Steve,
414
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:45.730
it would have been a far less cool moment than
415
00:21:45.769 --> 00:21:47.990
when he came in to save Wanda and Vision, right?
416
00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:50.799
who were being attacked by two of the Black Order.
417
00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:56.170
Yeah, and I love the little thing when Tony questions
418
00:21:56.210 --> 00:21:58.890
Doctor Strange saying, what is your job exactly besides making
419
00:21:58.930 --> 00:22:01.849
a balloon animal? It's a direct reference to when Benedict
420
00:22:01.869 --> 00:22:04.970
Cumberbatch did a skit on Jimmy Came Alive back in
421
00:22:04.970 --> 00:22:08.930
2016 promoting Doctor Strange. In the skit, Jimmy has invited
422
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.299
Doctor Strange to a kid's birthday party, assuming that he
423
00:22:11.339 --> 00:22:14.779
can use his magic to entertain the kids. Strange then agreed,
424
00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:16.960
And in one part of the skit, trying to make
425
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.680
a balloon animal for one of the kids attending the party.
426
00:22:20.849 --> 00:22:22.740
I have never seen that. I need to look that up.
427
00:22:23.089 --> 00:22:24.609
Yeah, there you go. Got some homework tonight.
428
00:22:25.589 --> 00:22:29.650
So Wanda and Vision. This was, I mean, there's like
429
00:22:29.670 --> 00:22:32.990
hints of it in, I think there's very subtle hints
430
00:22:33.029 --> 00:22:35.339
of it in Ultron. There's a bit more in Civil War.
431
00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:38.000
This is the first movie where they really dive into
432
00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:40.640
the fact like, no, these two are a couple. And
433
00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:42.779
I do remember some
people being weirded out by that
434
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.890
because it's like, everyone remembers he's a robot, right? And
435
00:22:45.910 --> 00:22:47.529
it's like, oh yeah, we're used to that though. It's,
436
00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:49.369
you know, comic books, we were used to that pairing
437
00:22:49.410 --> 00:22:51.750
for a long time, but I do remember some people
438
00:22:51.809 --> 00:22:56.730
being a little weirded out by that. I, but, but again, it's, it's,
439
00:22:56.819 --> 00:22:58.079
it's very comic accurate.
440
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:04.039
She's, she's not necessarily, she finds someone that could accept
441
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.400
her for who she is and not be afraid of her.
442
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.640
And it happens to be a synthetic, you know?
443
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.839
Yeah, exactly right.
444
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.660
But the, the, how visceral it is, the, the attack
445
00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:20.140
on them. You know, I think it's even more just
446
00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:22.819
because of how we're like, wait a minute, he's hurting vision.
447
00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:25.759
You know, the visions in real trouble there.
448
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.599
Yeah. And he, there's like, this isn't supposed to be
449
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.160
able to happen, but you know, they, I mean, the
450
00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:33.910
black order is powerful enough. They're able to disrupt his
451
00:23:33.970 --> 00:23:38.950
phasing and stab him. And he is, he is injured. Like,
452
00:23:40.009 --> 00:23:43.190
A real person. Like, he is actually injured. And he's
453
00:23:43.269 --> 00:23:46.130
not the same the whole rest of the movie. He's
454
00:23:46.230 --> 00:23:48.009
never at full power again the rest of the movie.
455
00:23:48.349 --> 00:23:51.390
I liked how that stayed with him. Yeah.
456
00:23:51.670 --> 00:23:57.559
And just how, you know, again, it reminds us exactly, like,
457
00:23:57.660 --> 00:24:00.700
that's what the stone is that he has. Because it's
458
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:02.299
one of those things I always seem to forget with
459
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.259
Vision in the MCU at that point.
460
00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:07.200
Yeah. And he had the Mind Stone at that point.
461
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.680
Mm-hmm. Well, what did you think of that?
462
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.079
That moment where they're at the train station, they look
463
00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:14.640
like they're down at that point. Vengeance is going to
464
00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:17.400
be taken out and you just, they're looking out in
465
00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:20.400
the shadows. They see something and it's, it's Steve Rogers, man.
466
00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:22.380
It's just such a cool moment.
467
00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:25.700
Absolutely. It's a great moment. You know, approximate midnight trucks
468
00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:29.509
or spear or whatever it's called Adam. And she's like,
469
00:24:30.029 --> 00:24:33.170
she's ready to face off with Wanda. The train comes
470
00:24:33.230 --> 00:24:35.849
and you get a flicker of Steve Rogers silhouette. And
471
00:24:35.910 --> 00:24:38.150
she immediately is like, no, this person's a bigger threat
472
00:24:38.170 --> 00:24:41.299
than Wanda. Now, I might take take, you know, make
473
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.819
a little bit of disagreement there with her assessment because
474
00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:48.950
it's Wanda. But regardless, you understand why she would immediately
475
00:24:48.990 --> 00:24:51.390
assume him as a threat. And that little fight, you know,
476
00:24:51.410 --> 00:24:54.289
we get that we get the Avengers theme. Steve shows up.
477
00:24:54.349 --> 00:24:57.490
Sam shows up. Natasha shows up and combined like the
478
00:24:57.539 --> 00:25:00.460
way that they're working together. They take them out. No problem.
479
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.500
Just run them off. And then I did enjoy Natasha
480
00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:06.529
chastising Wanda for like, hey, you know. We said you
481
00:25:06.549 --> 00:25:08.349
weren't going to do it this way, right? Like, you
482
00:25:08.369 --> 00:25:09.190
need to stay in touch.
483
00:25:09.670 --> 00:25:11.950
Yeah, especially like, you know, you're supposed to check in.
484
00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:13.849
This is what happens.
485
00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:16.440
You have vision. You need to check in with us.
486
00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:21.059
You got a living, breathing Infinity Stone walking around at
487
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:26.779
that point. So they're able to get rescued at that point. And,
488
00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:29.819
you know, they need to find a place for it.
489
00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:32.319
And so we know where they're heading to in order
490
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.349
to find a safe place.
491
00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:36.049
Well, yeah, they make a comment about going home and
492
00:25:36.069 --> 00:25:38.049
they do check in with Rhodey and stuff. But then
493
00:25:38.069 --> 00:25:40.529
the real place where they go, where they're really going
494
00:25:40.549 --> 00:25:43.250
to do the real work is Wakanda. Yeah.
495
00:25:43.369 --> 00:25:44.769
You know, it was a nice day to check in
496
00:25:44.789 --> 00:25:46.750
with Rhodey or, you know, maybe Scrotty.
497
00:25:46.809 --> 00:25:47.269
We don't know.
498
00:25:47.289 --> 00:25:52.660
I think we'll find it's Rhodey. But I hope so. Regardless,
499
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.779
what I like about that moment when they cut to Wakanda,
500
00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:59.839
before they cut there visually, you hear the music and
501
00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:03.259
the crowd popped. for this. Like those, that opening weekend crowd,
502
00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:06.180
like they were excited about this one. And that, that
503
00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:09.099
was a, a cheer point. I, I, if I remember right,
504
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.339
I want to say there
was one of my opening
505
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.519
weekend shows, which I saw five times opening weekend. I
506
00:26:13.779 --> 00:26:16.410
think there was one that didn't really cheer for that part,
507
00:26:16.450 --> 00:26:19.029
which means Marvel did place a little bit of a
508
00:26:19.089 --> 00:26:21.269
bet on that. Like, you know, with the emphasis on
509
00:26:21.289 --> 00:26:24.349
Wakanda in this movie coming out so close to black Panther,
510
00:26:24.369 --> 00:26:27.420
like you said, the production, there was that two week
511
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.009
break between production cycles and, but it paid off for
512
00:26:31.049 --> 00:26:33.799
him because Wakanda was such a great set piece. And
513
00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:38.380
the black Panther movie was so hugely popular that going
514
00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:40.079
right back to that theme. I loved it.
515
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.710
Yeah. It's, it's, you know, you can't just argue with it.
516
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.680
It just, it gives you chills and it gets you excited.
517
00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:48.299
You know, it does. And, you know, they, they remind
518
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.170
us that, Oh yeah, the white wolf is there. You know,
519
00:26:50.210 --> 00:26:52.309
that they've only called him that like what one other
520
00:26:52.349 --> 00:26:54.849
time in the Falcon and winter soldier show, but they,
521
00:26:54.950 --> 00:26:57.390
they bring out Bucky brings him an arm and, Oh,
522
00:26:57.410 --> 00:26:59.779
you know, when it wins the fight on its way. Like,
523
00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:02.460
I just I love that. Yeah.
524
00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:05.900
And, you know, when they do make it to Wakanda,
525
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:11.029
I do love the line where Bruce starts bowing and
526
00:27:11.069 --> 00:27:11.849
he's like, no, no, no, no.
527
00:27:11.910 --> 00:27:12.849
We don't do that.
528
00:27:12.890 --> 00:27:15.130
We don't do that here. We don't do that here. Yes,
529
00:27:15.190 --> 00:27:17.250
that is. That is a quote that I think of
530
00:27:17.430 --> 00:27:19.430
probably at least once a week, if I'm being honest.
531
00:27:19.990 --> 00:27:22.960
Look, look, more colonizers, more colonizers.
532
00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:25.970
That's right. you know, when you said we were going
533
00:27:25.990 --> 00:27:27.750
to open the world, this isn't what I was thinking.
534
00:27:28.009 --> 00:27:29.890
Not maybe a Starbucks.
535
00:27:31.029 --> 00:27:33.410
Yeah. Something, something we could do, not like bring war
536
00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:34.019
to our people.
537
00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:38.339
Right. Right. I think there's room to debate there. If
538
00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:40.759
black Panther did the right thing by opening, you know,
539
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:43.059
section 17, did he open the, do you do the
540
00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:45.700
right thing? I mean, we'll never know at this point,
541
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.480
but you can make an argument that they could have
542
00:27:48.509 --> 00:27:50.789
just split their forces and sent some people back to
543
00:27:50.809 --> 00:27:53.269
go help protect vision. But I see where they're coming from.
544
00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:53.849
Yeah.
545
00:27:54.849 --> 00:27:57.769
Um, you know, when we get to like the, you know,
546
00:27:57.809 --> 00:27:59.250
we go back and forth, you know, I don't know,
547
00:27:59.509 --> 00:28:01.349
we're probably not going to talk about every single aspect
548
00:28:01.390 --> 00:28:01.950
of this movie.
549
00:28:02.230 --> 00:28:04.710
So forgive us. It's, it is a very long movie
550
00:28:04.730 --> 00:28:05.369
in that sense.
551
00:28:05.450 --> 00:28:05.650
Sure.
552
00:28:06.049 --> 00:28:08.950
You know, but what is, I think one of the
553
00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:12.049
interesting things is like, we're able to figure out like
554
00:28:12.369 --> 00:28:17.440
really what every stone can do, but it's still very
555
00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:19.740
vague on the, the soul stone itself.
556
00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:25.589
Soul for a soul. Right. And, uh, It was definitely a,
557
00:28:27.130 --> 00:28:30.529
that's probably the one that's the most ambiguous, but the
558
00:28:30.569 --> 00:28:33.920
soul stone is stuck on Vormir. The stone keeper is
559
00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:37.740
the red skull. And he's, he's basically there one to
560
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.420
blow our minds. Cause we didn't think we were seeing
561
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:42.940
the red school again. Yeah. Two. And Ross Marquand did
562
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:47.029
a great Hugo weaving impression there too. He's there to
563
00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:50.109
basically info dump that if you want this, you have
564
00:28:50.150 --> 00:28:53.240
to give up something you truly love. And turns out
565
00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:56.619
Thanos in his own sick and twisted way does truly
566
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:01.130
love Gamora. And he just eats her right off of those,
567
00:29:01.650 --> 00:29:04.289
right off of that cliff. They're killing her. But I.
568
00:29:06.430 --> 00:29:06.650
Agree.
569
00:29:06.670 --> 00:29:10.069
Like the soul. So it is the most, it's questionable
570
00:29:10.109 --> 00:29:12.640
because at the, at the end of end game, we
571
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.880
to jump ahead real quick, like way ahead. We know
572
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.259
that cap goes back in time to return all the
573
00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:19.819
stones to trim all the branches.
574
00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.140
Right.
575
00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:23.519
We don't know. We can see what that looks like
576
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.420
for the other stones. He just puts it back where
577
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.470
they took it. What does that look like for the
578
00:29:28.509 --> 00:29:31.109
soul stone when they put it back with what happens
579
00:29:31.170 --> 00:29:34.809
to Natasha in that movie? So
we don't know. It's
580
00:29:34.849 --> 00:29:38.329
just not clear about how that one works. And honestly,
581
00:29:38.430 --> 00:29:41.119
I wouldn't be surprised if... I wouldn't be surprised if
582
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.960
we never find out like until the MCU is full
583
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.500
on rebooted into a whole new incarnation that they just
584
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:51.119
don't revisit it unless they want to bring Black Widow's
585
00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:55.140
Natasha back that would the 616 sacred timeline one just
586
00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:57.009
to be clear I think that's the only way they
587
00:29:57.089 --> 00:29:58.490
ever revisit what it means.
588
00:29:58.829 --> 00:30:03.440
Yeah And especially, you know, when they're trying to like
589
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.279
bay ahead of all the stones at that point. Well, even,
590
00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:08.880
you know, it's one thing we totally forgotten going way back.
591
00:30:09.339 --> 00:30:12.259
We bounced back like, all right, we get, you know,
592
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.799
Spider-Man joining into the fight at that point. And as
593
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.900
the ship's going up, you know, he's not able to survive,
594
00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:21.460
but we get a new version. We get the iron,
595
00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:24.559
the MCU's version of the iron spider suit. What did
596
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:25.059
you think of that?
597
00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:28.759
Yeah, I like the Iron Spider suit from the comic
598
00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:31.400
books more. Let's call it what it is. I do
599
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:33.940
think there's a couple shots that are a little weird
600
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.730
looking actually of it, but it works for me overall.
601
00:30:36.789 --> 00:30:41.150
It does work for me overall. It's not the suit
602
00:30:41.170 --> 00:30:42.930
I would want to be his everyday suit. I wouldn't
603
00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:47.019
want it to be the suit he's wearing all the time. But...
604
00:30:47.730 --> 00:30:49.309
We see it again in Far From Home. We even
605
00:30:49.349 --> 00:30:51.269
saw it again in No Way Home. I like the
606
00:30:51.289 --> 00:30:53.210
way they used him in those movies where it wasn't
607
00:30:53.250 --> 00:30:55.650
the only suit he wore. It's not my favorite of his,
608
00:30:55.930 --> 00:30:58.069
but it works. I do enjoy the joke about it
609
00:30:58.109 --> 00:31:00.789
being a new car in here. And when the arms
610
00:31:00.849 --> 00:31:03.049
pop out, saving him from getting sucked out into the
611
00:31:03.109 --> 00:31:04.990
void of space, that was a pretty cool moment.
612
00:31:05.670 --> 00:31:06.119
Yeah, I know.
613
00:31:06.130 --> 00:31:09.539
It definitely is. I do like the Iron Spider suit
614
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:13.910
in the comics, but I like the... how they were
615
00:31:14.069 --> 00:31:18.230
able you can't argue with the how they incorporate the
616
00:31:18.309
--> 00:31:20.759
red the blue and just the accents of gold in
617
00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:25.599
it like i i i will lean towards mcu's iron
618
00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:29.750
spider suit versus versus the comics just because it still
619
00:31:29.869 --> 00:31:33.109
holds on to spidey's red and blue it.
620
00:31:33.069 --> 00:31:35.750
Does and it In the comics, it's red and gold.
621
00:31:35.789 --> 00:31:37.470
It's very Iron Man heavy.
622
00:31:37.809 --> 00:31:38.309
For reasons.
623
00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:40.690
Well, yeah, because Iron Man built it. But it's very,
624
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:43.460
very Iron Man heavy. And I do enjoy that scene
625
00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:46.440
when Iron Man calls it. He offered it to Peter
626
00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:49.759
at the end of Homecoming. Peter said no. At this point,
627
00:31:50.140 --> 00:31:52.440
he doesn't give Peter the choice. You are wearing this
628
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.920
thing right now. And it's a good thing he did. Yeah.
629
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:57.900
And it was really cool.
630
00:31:57.980 --> 00:32:02.740
And they get– I want to talk about so many
631
00:32:02.779 --> 00:32:07.009
different things about this. i i really do like how
632
00:32:07.109 --> 00:32:09.849
the guardians facing thanos really for the first time and
633
00:32:09.890 --> 00:32:14.019
the destruction of nowhere and the collectors do like it
634
00:32:14.099 --> 00:32:19.460
really shows that peter and the guardians do not cannot
635
00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:22.299
stand toe-to-toe even with thanos like we knew they couldn't
636
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.559
do it now they really made it look silly.
637
00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:27.579
Right it does look silly and really the guardians in
638
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.630
this this movie like they're they don't feel like the
639
00:32:30.670 --> 00:32:33.569
main characters of the movie, but I mean, Gamora and
640
00:32:33.609 --> 00:32:36.349
stuff like, but like as a collective, like the Avengers
641
00:32:36.410 --> 00:32:39.480
are still quote unquote more important, I feel, but there's
642
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:40.920
a lot of fun stuff with the guardians.
643
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.579
Oh yeah.
644
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.700
And that's, that's part of it. I mean, there's, well,
645
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.740
we definitely need to talk about the stuff, the team
646
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.579
that goes to Titan, but prior to that, their interactions
647
00:32:49.619 --> 00:32:54.619
with Thor, especially rocket and rocket and Thor, and we'll
648
00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:56.230
rock it and grew it to a lesser extent when
649
00:32:56.269 --> 00:32:59.230
those three go off together and, to Neville Lear, which
650
00:32:59.299 --> 00:33:03.019
is a made up word to when they go off
651
00:33:03.059 --> 00:33:06.259
together and just the conversation they have, the seriousness of
652
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.640
which they have rocket giving him the eye, which he
653
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:11.759
had to smuggle out in his, well, we, he doesn't
654
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:15.170
tell us what we can infer it. I love those
655
00:33:15.230 --> 00:33:18.769
interactions so much, but nothing makes me laugh more. And no,
656
00:33:18.809 --> 00:33:20.910
it's not the funniest movie, but one of the biggest laughs,
657
00:33:21.450 --> 00:33:23.029
like the biggest laugh in this movie. And one of
658
00:33:23.049 --> 00:33:25.049
the biggest laughs in the entire MCU for me is,
659
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.140
is when the Guardians first rescue Thor. When they first
660
00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:31.390
pull him in and the reaction to everybody else looking
661
00:33:31.490 --> 00:33:34.309
at him, this is not a dude, this is a man.
662
00:33:34.329 --> 00:33:37.329
It looks like a pirate had a baby with an angel.
663
00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:41.250
Just the way that they go on and on about it,
664
00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:45.079
I absolutely adore that scene. So the Guardians in this
665
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:48.119
have some great interactions and it did not disappoint between
666
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.039
seeing them with Thor and then later seeing them with
667
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:51.740
the team on Titan.
668
00:33:53.089 --> 00:33:57.109
And just like you said, the interactions where he it's
669
00:33:57.150 --> 00:34:00.269
more than even just that, like how Star-Lord like tries
670
00:34:00.289 --> 00:34:02.569
to act bigger around them. This is how I always
671
00:34:02.670 --> 00:34:05.869
talk at that point and how he, you know, Thor
672
00:34:05.910 --> 00:34:09.090
calls Rocket Rabbit and that he considers the captains like
673
00:34:09.130 --> 00:34:12.909
it's everything that Rocket assumed like he should be looked
674
00:34:12.949 --> 00:34:13.869
at as being in charge.
675
00:34:14.170 --> 00:34:15.070
Absolutely. Yes.
676
00:34:15.389 --> 00:34:15.590
So.
677
00:34:16.989 --> 00:34:18.969
I mean, he's clearly the smartest among them, so.
678
00:34:18.989 --> 00:34:19.309
Mm hmm.
679
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.449
Yes. And just, you know, I guess while we're talking
680
00:34:23.489 --> 00:34:29.329
about them, when they do reform Stormbreaker and like looking
681
00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:33.510
at like even Groot, like it catches Groot's attention, like
682
00:34:33.570 --> 00:34:36.230
Thor catches Groot's attention, who spends the whole time otherwise
683
00:34:36.289 --> 00:34:40.429
playing his video games and. when thor is dying and
684
00:34:40.449 --> 00:34:43.590
e tree is yelling tree tree find find the axe
685
00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:45.519
you know help me or find the handle help me
686
00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:47.559
find the handle he's just like i got your handle
687
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.199
right here and gives him part of his arm i'm
688
00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:53.280
like such a cool moment with with the with the
689
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.690
team they're
getting stormbreaker.
690
00:34:57.650 --> 00:35:00.550
And and just like it's one of those things that
691
00:35:00.570 --> 00:35:03.059
i had a huge theory going into endgame that E3
692
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:07.219
would be coming back into Endgame and reforming a different
693
00:35:07.300 --> 00:35:08.179
gauntlet for them.
694
00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:09.539
I was close.
695
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:11.699
It wasn't E3, but they.
696
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:16.519
Partial credit, for sure. Partial credit. You were right. Another
697
00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:20.099
gauntlet would absolutely come into play. Just not from E3 himself.
698
00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:25.820
Speaking of the Guardians with the team on Titan, you know,
699
00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:30.449
strange Spider-Man and Iron Man meeting up with them. I
700
00:35:30.510 --> 00:35:36.809
really enjoy it when... when they're basically talking to, to
701
00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:40.530
Star-Lord and it's like, where are you from? Are you
702
00:35:40.550 --> 00:35:43.090
from earth? I'm not from earth. I'm from Missouri doing
703
00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:47.380
all this stuff. I just, the interactions between them and
704
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:49.460
the way that they talk to each other and the
705
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:53.519
way that they interacted with each other, the annoyance that
706
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:56.730
Tony has from Star-Lord and the way Star-Lord does it,
707
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:59.530
like the comments about the people yawning and stuff in
708
00:35:59.550 --> 00:36:02.429
the middle of their, their planning session. It all just
709
00:36:02.510 --> 00:36:05.289
works for me so, so well. Yeah.
710
00:36:05.409 --> 00:36:10.130
And that interaction just shows that even Tony can recognize
711
00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:12.110
like he deals with Peter. He understands he's a kid,
712
00:36:12.170 --> 00:36:14.510
but like he's looking at these adults and saying like
713
00:36:14.570 --> 00:36:18.190
what he thinks are adults and like you're a bunch
714
00:36:18.230 --> 00:36:22.210
of man children and women children. Like you don't you
715
00:36:22.250 --> 00:36:25.750
don't you're you're you're at the kids table still. Let
716
00:36:25.789 --> 00:36:29.730
the adults talk, you know, the wizard and I and
717
00:36:30.130 --> 00:36:31.170
and let's figure this out.
718
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:35.670
Yeah, especially like endearing this stuff like Mantis is in
719
00:36:35.690 --> 00:36:38.210
the background just jumping around, playing and everything like that.
720
00:36:38.250 --> 00:36:42.230
So absolutely. And there is one thing I didn't mention
721
00:36:42.250 --> 00:36:45.369
with Guardians and the group on Titan is at one
722
00:36:45.429 --> 00:36:51.079
point when they established that everybody there knows Thor, Star-Lord
723
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.719
makes this comment of like, yeah, Thor, tall guy, not
724
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:58.800
that good looking. The look on Spider-Man's face when he
725
00:36:58.889 --> 00:37:01.880
says that, Gets me every time. Gets me every time.
726
00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:02.559
It's hysterical.
727
00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:04.199
He's like, what do you mean not that good looking?
728
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:04.599
He's Thor.
729
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:04.900
I know.
730
00:37:06.260 --> 00:37:10.760
And especially when I love Spider-Man also responding like, is
731
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:12.260
it still the greatest movie of all time?
732
00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:12.900
Never was.
733
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.940
It was never the greatest movie of all time.
734
00:37:15.739 --> 00:37:16.739
The hell you say?
735
00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:21.320
It's nice when you get even Peter saying, who is
736
00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:21.960
this Joker?
737
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:26.909
Yeah, who is this guy? So, of course, Thanos shows
738
00:37:27.070 --> 00:37:30.190
up and you know, it has a little conversation with Dr.
739
00:37:30.230 --> 00:37:33.510
Strange and then they throw down Thanos throws a moon.
740
00:37:33.570 --> 00:37:37.329
It's the regular stuff, but there's the fun stuff throughout
741
00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:42.920
this fight. But the important thing is Dr. Strange who later,
742
00:37:43.460 --> 00:37:46.960
who earlier, excuse me, had said, I will not hesitate
743
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.440
to let you or the kid die. If it comes between,
744
00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:53.179
between the time stone or your lives, he gives up
745
00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:55.420
the time stone specifically to save Iron Man's life.
746
00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:02.550
Because, That is the one way.
747
00:38:02.550 --> 00:38:05.559
14,605,000 views. And that is the one, the one way
748
00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:08.139
that he thinks they can win. It had to be
749
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:11.019
makes the comment. We're in the end game now. And
750
00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:14.800
there it is. There it is. Yeah. You know, even
751
00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:16.780
though they tried to claim and hide that title and
752
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.000
claim it wasn't there, it was right there. Leading us
753
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.510
back to Wakanda for, for the final, the final, you know,
754
00:38:24.179 --> 00:38:26.559
Little bit of I even hesitate to call it fighting
755
00:38:26.619 --> 00:38:28.820
because it really wasn't. It was Thanos walking in, doing
756
00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:31.929
what he wanted. But for the final conflict, if you will.
757
00:38:32.829 --> 00:38:35.130
And and, you know, even going back there, the fact
758
00:38:35.190 --> 00:38:39.309
that Stephen used the time stone for something that he
759
00:38:39.409 --> 00:38:42.880
really isn't supposed to do. But he recognizes in the
760
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:47.280
fact that how dire the situation is, like he is
761
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:49.800
willing to break the rules of the of the use
762
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.679
of the time
stone. and looking in impossible futures because
763
00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:55.179
it's that serious right now.
764
00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:57.119
Right. Absolutely. Absolutely.
765
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.599
But yeah, the, the, the battle in Wakanda with, you know, our,
766
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:06.150
our remaining earthbound players and just seeing, you know, it's, it,
767
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.019
I think the cool, one of the coolest moment is
768
00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:13.110
seeing Steve black Panther basically run into lead the charge
769
00:39:13.150 --> 00:39:15.809
at that point. And I do love that black Panther
770
00:39:15.869 --> 00:39:16.769
does have the edge.
771
00:39:17.929 --> 00:39:20.300
He has the edge. He'd also started a little bit higher.
772
00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:23.139
Like if you look, he did technically start farther up,
773
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.150
but it's his kingdom. It's effectively his army. He should
774
00:39:27.170 --> 00:39:28.050
be the one leading it.
775
00:39:28.050 --> 00:39:29.929
I mean, if they're not going to bow, they got,
776
00:39:30.070 --> 00:39:30.690
least give it to.
777
00:39:30.610 --> 00:39:32.340
Him right well they don't do that here but i
778
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.000
and i also know i was like and i've even
779
00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:37.219
questioned this before it's like why isn't bucky with them
780
00:39:37.539 --> 00:39:39.679
well bucky's not with because he's a bucky is a
781
00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:41.679
super soldier he can keep up with them but the
782
00:39:41.699 --> 00:39:43.699
reason he's not well it's because he's got a gun
783
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.280
he's he's fighting from a distance no i know people
784
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.940
still question that it's like well He can keep up
785
00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:51.500
with them. That's not what he's choosing to do.
786
00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:52.460
Yeah.
787
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.199
And in fact, it's just really cool to seeing, you know,
788
00:39:57.260 --> 00:40:00.530
I love seeing the Hulkbuster armor out against one of my,
789
00:40:00.789 --> 00:40:02.989
it's my favorite Iron Man suit. So getting that one
790
00:40:03.030 --> 00:40:07.010
more out there, but just like the amount of just
791
00:40:07.050 --> 00:40:11.250
the ongoing, like just these aliens is coming at, coming at,
792
00:40:11.369 --> 00:40:12.530
like it's an infinite amount.
793
00:40:12.550 --> 00:40:15.030
It's almost like there is no way they can win this.
794
00:40:15.849 --> 00:40:18.730
Oh yeah. There were way too many of the Outriders there.
795
00:40:19.300 --> 00:40:21.519
And the outright were willing to kill them. And in fact,
796
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:26.599
T'Challa had even said to Proxima Midnight, Thanos is only
797
00:40:26.619 --> 00:40:29.940
going to find dust and blood. And that's exactly what
798
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.260
they have. And Proxima Midnight says something like we have
799
00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:35.269
blood to spare as she starts sending the outriders through,
800
00:40:35.329 --> 00:40:38.329
forcing themselves through killing themselves until they can start to
801
00:40:38.349 --> 00:40:41.710
squeeze through, through the barrier. And well, the dust we,
802
00:40:41.869 --> 00:40:44.409
we know, of course they found lots of dust in Wakanda.
803
00:40:44.889 --> 00:40:45.150
Yeah.
804
00:40:46.690 --> 00:40:49.849
Um, And so when they get, you know, I, the
805
00:40:49.889 --> 00:40:53.780
moment that I just outright cheered out loud when it
806
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:58.380
happened was the arrival of Thor with Stormbreaker, Groot, and Rocket.
807
00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:04.440
And before he get, you know, Banner saying, oh, y'all
808
00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:05.639
are screwed now.
809
00:41:06.619 --> 00:41:08.849
It is just like him coming down at that key
810
00:41:08.889 --> 00:41:11.889
moment is like, yes, you know, just like.
811
00:41:12.409 --> 00:41:15.090
One of the great entrances in the entire MCU.
812
00:41:16.130 --> 00:41:17.090
Bring me Thanos.
813
00:41:17.619 --> 00:41:19.139
Bring me Thanos. I love that. And then they cut
814
00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:21.360
away and go back to Titan because, you know, they
815
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:23.780
are cutting back and forth between Wakanda and Titan during this,
816
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.199
but watching, I love how Rocket and Groot are just
817
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.960
chasing after Thor at that point, like just in the middle,
818
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:33.219
they're chasing after him. And then, you know, we, we
819
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:36.840
get more of those fun pairings and stuff. Internet meme
820
00:41:36.909 --> 00:41:40.650
culture is satisfied with Rocket asking Bucky for his arm
821
00:41:40.690 --> 00:41:42.409
and makes a comment. Oh, I'm going to get that arm.
822
00:41:43.090 --> 00:41:47.480
And then, you know, we get the awesome, awesome team
823
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:50.760
up moment when Wanda is out on the field and she,
824
00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:53.599
Proxima Midnight tells her she's going to die alone. Vision's
825
00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:55.780
going to die alone just like she will. And you
826
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:58.840
hear Natasha say she's not alone. And then there's Black
827
00:41:58.860 --> 00:42:01.590
Widow and Okoye right there. And the three of them
828
00:42:01.889 --> 00:42:06.190
take on Proxima Midnight until Wanda kills her. So, so cool.
829
00:42:06.250 --> 00:42:08.409
And such a fun pairing of these group of characters.
830
00:42:08.769 --> 00:42:09.130
Oh, yeah.
831
00:42:09.170 --> 00:42:12.079
No, I think this was a very just interesting moment
832
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.809
with getting these, these characters fighting in different in this
833
00:42:15.849 --> 00:42:19.329
type of desperation situation um but then we head to
834
00:42:19.349 --> 00:42:22.010
the backwoods where you know
uh.
835
00:42:22.949 --> 00:42:24.780
Well even before that let's go back to.
836
00:42:24.739 --> 00:42:29.539
Titan where you know they're they're trying they come close
837
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:33.880
to taking off the gauntlet but of course um you
838
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:38.480
know peter's concerned about gamora and when they've got their
839
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.989
plan and he's saying these things like you know what
840
00:42:42.030 --> 00:42:42.210
is it?
841
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:44.469
Mantis saying he's in pain. He's in agony.
842
00:42:44.530 --> 00:42:49.480
He's mourning. And he's just makes a realization that, you know,
843
00:42:50.059 --> 00:42:54.199
Gamora is dead at that point. And Peter just can't,
844
00:42:55.070 --> 00:42:57.449
you know, not hit him and get it.
845
00:42:57.730 --> 00:42:59.690
It breaks the whole plan. That's why everyone's like, Oh,
846
00:42:59.730 --> 00:43:01.409
screw Peter. It's stupid.
847
00:43:01.449 --> 00:43:02.690
Does it, does it break the plan?
848
00:43:03.670 --> 00:43:04.630
Yeah, exactly.
849
00:43:04.849 --> 00:43:07.539
One, I would like to reiterate, Thanos could have been
850
00:43:07.699 --> 00:43:10.730
stopped several times throughout this movie if, as Steve puts it,
851
00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:13.119
the Avengers have been willing to trade lives. The only
852
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.059
one willing to do that was Peter Quill because he
853
00:43:16.139 --> 00:43:18.940
actually did try to kill Gamora at her wish. And
854
00:43:19.019 --> 00:43:22.650
obviously Thanos just turned it into bubbles, turned his gun
855
00:43:22.710 --> 00:43:26.489
into bubbles. But go back and look closely. The moment
856
00:43:26.530 --> 00:43:29.409
in which Thanos' eyes wake up and he snaps out
857
00:43:29.429 --> 00:43:31.929
of it is the moment the glove is coming off
858
00:43:31.969 --> 00:43:35.150
of his hand. Because he actually catches the glove with
859
00:43:35.190 --> 00:43:38.320
his fingers to keep control of it. That's the moment
860
00:43:38.340 --> 00:43:40.440
that snapped him out of it. I actually don't think
861
00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:43.679
it was Peter Quill doing it. Now, maybe I'm wrong.
862
00:43:43.699 --> 00:43:45.179
Maybe the screenwriters are going to come out and say, well,
863
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.340
that's what we wanted them to do. But I refuse
864
00:43:49.389 --> 00:43:52.869
to jump on the Peter screwed the universe bandwagon because
865
00:43:52.889 --> 00:43:56.389
I don't think it's his fault. I think it was
866
00:43:56.429 --> 00:43:59.809
the moment that they just ultimately they didn't get the
867
00:43:59.829 --> 00:44:02.400
glove off fast enough. And you could make an argument
868
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.039
this gets into Loki territory and is this all a
869
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:10.159
free will situation or preordained? But if there was only
870
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:12.309
one way for them to win, they were never going
871
00:44:12.349 --> 00:44:13.409
to win that way anyway.
872
00:44:14.210 --> 00:44:17.769
Yeah, it's one of those– like you said, it was
873
00:44:17.809 --> 00:44:20.769
just– this had to happen. It had to play out.
874
00:44:20.829 --> 00:44:22.489
I mean the TVA let it play out, right?
875
00:44:22.989 --> 00:44:25.969
Right. And I don't accept– And, you know, even the
876
00:44:26.019 --> 00:44:28.420
TVA fine, they made that show afterwards. So the rules
877
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.699
changed for that. Okay. I'll buy that. But I don't
878
00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:33.360
like what, what to me, I can't square is that
879
00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:36.179
people will accept strange saying there was only one way
880
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:38.219
he had to give up the time stone. He had
881
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:43.570
to trade lives, right? There's only one way. And, or
882
00:44:43.690 --> 00:44:46.110
actually he didn't trade lives. That was the problem. But anyway,
883
00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:48.329
you get my point, but they don't accept the fact
884
00:44:48.349 --> 00:44:51.369
that if there was only one way, Thanos was always
885
00:44:51.389 --> 00:44:53.829
going to recover the glove and continue on like that.
886
00:44:54.269 --> 00:44:55.389
you can't have it both ways. People.
887
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:56.340
No, you can't.
888
00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:01.000
Now, when, you know, we, we, you know, he's able
889
00:45:01.019 --> 00:45:04.079
to get the stone. He goes back to Wakanda. He basically,
890
00:45:04.099 --> 00:45:07.119
you know, they're able to, you know, Wanda's got to
891
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:12.679
make the decision to basically take down, take down vision
892
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:14.840
because that's the only way at that point.
893
00:45:14.889 --> 00:45:16.969
Which, oh, sure. You mean? Yeah.
894
00:45:17.190 --> 00:45:17.489
Oh yeah.
895
00:45:17.670 --> 00:45:22.150
Well, no, sure. Sure. Sure. He is just, um, she's
896
00:45:22.190 --> 00:45:23.429
trying to get the stone out of vision.
897
00:45:24.150 --> 00:45:25.230
Yeah yeah.
898
00:45:27.030 --> 00:45:32.420
And it's it's one of those situations where i had
899
00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:35.840
a problem with it in the sense of you know
900
00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:40.360
the stone her trying to destroy the stone like the
901
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:43.519
stone is still like the energy is still you can't
902
00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:47.219
destroy energy like that like being scientific at this moment
903
00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:50.409
like destroying the stone like wouldn't destroy the stone really you.
904
00:45:50.369 --> 00:45:54.139
Know Well, visually, it dispersed the energy.
905
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:56.300
Dispersed the energy, but the energy is still out there.
906
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:01.679
Right, but I think the point is, just like in Endgame,
907
00:46:01.929 --> 00:46:04.650
he used the stones to destroy the stones. The energy
908
00:46:04.710 --> 00:46:06.210
is still out there, but it's no longer in a
909
00:46:06.269 --> 00:46:10.510
usable state because it's not all combined together in this
910
00:46:10.650 --> 00:46:14.809
one little gem that has all the power compressed together.
911
00:46:15.250 --> 00:46:17.219
I think it makes sense. I don't think they destroyed
912
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:22.210
the energy, but they destroyed the housing mechanism for it. Yeah.
913
00:46:23.010 --> 00:46:27.050
And well, in any case with that, it's, you know,
914
00:46:27.110 --> 00:46:28.989
we get the destruction of it.
915
00:46:29.110 --> 00:46:29.889
Vision's gone.
916
00:46:30.329 --> 00:46:32.010
And it's almost at that moment, I was like, was
917
00:46:32.030 --> 00:46:33.409
sitting in the theater. It's like, oh, he's going to
918
00:46:33.489 --> 00:46:35.409
use the time stone to get it back. Like, this
919
00:46:35.469 --> 00:46:38.699
is like, he's not defeated. He's got what he needs
920
00:46:38.780 --> 00:46:41.099
to ensure that he can get what he wants back.
921
00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:43.780
And as he does, he uses the time stone, gets
922
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:45.860
it out, rips it out of his head, gets all
923
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:48.300
the stones together. And now it's like, we have to
924
00:46:48.340 --> 00:46:52.039
stop him before I'm, snapping and doing what he the
925
00:46:52.699 --> 00:46:56.480
you know taking out half of all life in the universe.
926
00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:01.440
Exactly exactly and you know it they were really close
927
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:02.340
to still doing it.
928
00:47:02.260 --> 00:47:05.550
Right they were he just you know he you know
929
00:47:05.610 --> 00:47:08.489
Thor goes hits him in the chest just didn't aim
930
00:47:08.510 --> 00:47:10.230
for the head like his.
931
00:47:10.030 --> 00:47:13.929
His hubris gets the best of him and he wanted
932
00:47:13.969 --> 00:47:16.130
to be able to brag to Thanos that he killed
933
00:47:16.190 --> 00:47:20.030
him and he failed at killing him at least at
934
00:47:20.070 --> 00:47:22.750
this point, and he failed at stopping him from snapping.
935
00:47:22.789 --> 00:47:26.070
And when he snaps, everything goes white. Yep.
936
00:47:26.389 --> 00:47:29.389
And it was just like, no. And I even was like, oh,
937
00:47:29.409 --> 00:47:31.360
my God, they're going to do it. They're really going
938
00:47:31.380 --> 00:47:34.179
to do it. Now, the official name for the snap
939
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:38.519
is called the decimation. It's defined as the killing one
940
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.039
in every ten of a group of people as a
941
00:47:41.099 --> 00:47:43.860
punishment for the whole group, deriving from the Romans, and
942
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:46.739
is therefore not necessarily suitable for this event.
943
00:47:47.219 --> 00:47:51.829
No, because they didn't kill... the decimation, it wasn't by
944
00:47:51.869 --> 00:47:55.769
a factor of 10 either. Um, but the, I had
945
00:47:56.050 --> 00:47:57.869
going into this movie, I thought there was a strong
946
00:47:57.909 --> 00:48:00.260
possibility of the snap and then fade to black. And
947
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.539
we wouldn't know what happens. I actually like what they
948
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.800
did better. It's snap. And then we do see the
949
00:48:05.940 --> 00:48:11.440
immediate first few seconds aftermath. And we see several characters survive.
950
00:48:11.699 --> 00:48:14.869
We see several characters turn to dust and, And we
951
00:48:14.989 --> 00:48:17.050
don't know what's happening with some of the others who
952
00:48:17.090 --> 00:48:19.869
weren't at these events. Like Hawkeye, for example. We just
953
00:48:19.909 --> 00:48:22.750
didn't know if he survived or not at this point.
954
00:48:23.809 --> 00:48:25.949
And I will tell you, Thanos at one point stabbed
955
00:48:26.030 --> 00:48:28.469
Iron Man. I did think he was going to die
956
00:48:28.510 --> 00:48:31.880
at that point. Because, again, I fully expected... names to
957
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.099
drop in this and at this point he had been
958
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:36.679
playing iron man for so long he'd made so many
959
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.000
appearances i really thought okay they're gonna do it he's
960
00:48:39.019 --> 00:48:42.340
gonna be done assuming this version of course time travel
961
00:48:42.380 --> 00:48:44.860
could come back into play but this version of tony
962
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:47.360
stark i really thought they were gonna kill when the
963
00:48:47.420 --> 00:48:49.760
snap happened i did not think he was gonna go
964
00:48:49.780 --> 00:48:52.329
i was like they're not gonna do the because obviously
965
00:48:52.349 --> 00:48:54.789
like we saw black panther get snapped like they just
966
00:48:54.829 --> 00:48:57.570
had his movie they're not going to kill him for
967
00:48:57.610 --> 00:49:00.889
good which we know what happened there but yeah the
968
00:49:00.989 --> 00:49:03.820
character was not intended to die at that point. And
969
00:49:03.940 --> 00:49:06.559
so Peter Parker, they were not going to kill Spider-Man.
970
00:49:06.860 --> 00:49:08.900
I did not think Tony Stark was actually going to
971
00:49:08.940 --> 00:49:10.599
die at that point. I didn't see two death fake
972
00:49:10.659 --> 00:49:13.070
outs with them in the same movie. Yeah.
973
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:15.230
And you know, if you, I thought this was interesting
974
00:49:15.250 --> 00:49:18.230
too looking at the the official poster for infinity war
975
00:49:18.929 --> 00:49:22.800
there are 24 characters visible on the poster 12 live
976
00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:24.800
and 12 die on that poster.
977
00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:27.639
That's good half and half balance everything in balance as
978
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:28.300
all things should be.
979
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.539
As everything should be but i just when i was
980
00:49:31.579 --> 00:49:34.599
in the theater i just never been in a theater
981
00:49:34.659 --> 00:49:37.260
and haven't been in one since where the theater just
982
00:49:37.460 --> 00:49:38.440
is silent.
983
00:49:38.659 --> 00:49:40.820
And you just like are hearing these little things. Oh
984
00:49:40.860 --> 00:49:41.360
my God.
985
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.500
And, you know, especially when you get, you know, Peter saying,
986
00:49:45.820 --> 00:49:47.400
you know, Mr. Stark, I don't feel so well. I
987
00:49:47.420 --> 00:49:50.719
don't want to go before he disintegrates. That was apparently
988
00:49:50.820 --> 00:49:53.260
improvised on the spot by Tom Holland. That was not
989
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:53.800
in the script.
990
00:49:54.090 --> 00:49:57.190
Right. Improvised. And it was kind of a, I guess
991
00:49:57.230 --> 00:49:59.429
part of the idea is thinking his spider sense feels
992
00:49:59.489 --> 00:50:04.369
it coming. And it, you mentioned how quiet the theater was. Yeah.
993
00:50:04.409 --> 00:50:06.809
It was one of those, like during the, during the credits,
994
00:50:06.869 --> 00:50:08.289
it was one of those, like you could hear a
995
00:50:08.309 --> 00:50:12.360
pin drop moments, like just every, and even just, I
996
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:14.320
know there's the little blurb with even a little bit
997
00:50:14.340 --> 00:50:16.519
of a laugh from Samuel L. Jackson in the credits. Oh,
998
00:50:16.579 --> 00:50:21.000
whole mother. But even with that, it was just silence
999
00:50:21.219 --> 00:50:23.050
as people were walking out of the theater for, at
1000
00:50:23.070 --> 00:50:25.869
least for me, those first couple of times I went just,
1001
00:50:26.389 --> 00:50:28.610
just silence.
1002
00:50:29.590 --> 00:50:29.789
Yeah.
1003
00:50:30.550 --> 00:50:35.949
But, I mean, we leave off there, and, you know,
1004
00:50:35.969 --> 00:50:37.690
we're just left in just, like, utter.
1005
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:42.119
We get John of Thanos going to where his home
1006
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:46.699
is in his hut, and just he's looking out.
1007
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:49.619
On a grateful universe for what he just did.
1008
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:53.309
And that's Infinity War.
1009
00:50:53.929 --> 00:50:57.969
Mm-hmm. And we are left with a post-credit scene. What's
1010
00:50:57.989 --> 00:50:58.969
the post-credit scene?
1011
00:50:59.500 --> 00:51:01.599
Yeah, I mentioned it briefly, but Samuel L. Jackson and
1012
00:51:01.619 --> 00:51:04.780
Maria Hill, you know, they basically, did you hear about
1013
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.179
the fighting or whatever? And that's it. They're in New York.
1014
00:51:07.219 --> 00:51:12.239
They're not at the Battle of Wakanda. And as both
1015
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:17.469
of them get snapped, as Nick is dying, he had
1016
00:51:17.550 --> 00:51:21.110
tried to grab his pager for Captain Marvel, which kind
1017
00:51:21.150 --> 00:51:23.929
of brings us full circle back to how we started
1018
00:51:23.969 --> 00:51:27.739
with this side venture, this project. taking us back to
1019
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:32.059
Captain Marvel because Captain Marvel would be not the next movie,
1020
00:51:32.099 --> 00:51:33.860
but two movies from now. We had Ant-Man and the
1021
00:51:33.900 --> 00:51:36.780
Wasp followed by Captain Marvel as the final lead into
1022
00:51:36.820 --> 00:51:39.699
Avengers Endgame. And not a lot of people knew who
1023
00:51:39.739 --> 00:51:41.880
Captain Marvel was, but they would certainly find out.
1024
00:51:43.340 --> 00:51:43.960
Yeah.
1025
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.840
And especially where, you know, a question I always have,
1026
00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:50.039
and we can, you know, further delve into this Endgame,
1027
00:51:50.099 --> 00:51:52.989
especially with knowing that, you know, the people back at
1028
00:51:53.010 --> 00:51:55.469
Snack get brought back. It's like, What happened to these–
1029
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:58.280
where did these people that pop back up that are
1030
00:51:58.340 --> 00:51:59.820
on these planes that are crashing down?
1031
00:51:59.920 --> 00:52:03.780
Yeah, allegedly they've been told like– people have been told like, oh,
1032
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:06.380
you snap back and you're safe and everything. Sure, but
1033
00:52:06.420 --> 00:52:08.820
what about the people who died as a result of
1034
00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:12.489
the snap but not of the snap? You mentioned an airplane.
1035
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.530
The pilot got snapped. Okay, fine. He comes back and
1036
00:52:16.570 --> 00:52:19.489
he's on the ground because– Hulk's wish is smart enough
1037
00:52:19.510 --> 00:52:21.849
to account for that. I'll, I'll buy that. But what
1038
00:52:21.889 --> 00:52:24.349
about the people who were in that plane when it crashed?
1039
00:52:24.409 --> 00:52:27.019
Because they no longer had a pilot, right? Like those
1040
00:52:27.059 --> 00:52:29.880
are the people who I don't think the snap brought back.
1041
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.719
So it's still.
1042
00:52:31.860 --> 00:52:36.199
It's, it's a huge, it's a huge loss. It's huge. Well,
1043
00:52:36.219 --> 00:52:38.360
at this point it's the biggest loss that the Avengers
1044
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:39.960
have had to date. And since then.
1045
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:40.719
Yeah.
1046
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:45.170
So, but we come to the end with a infinity
1047
00:52:45.230 --> 00:52:51.429
war and, um, Yeah, so we will see you all
1048
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:54.809
next month for the movie I think you and I
1049
00:52:54.829 --> 00:52:58.849
have been waiting to come back to is Avengers Endgame.
1050
00:53:38.130 --> 00:53:41.070
All right, Brent, as always, post-credits, a preview of our
1051
00:53:41.110 --> 00:53:42.349
discussion for Endgame.
1052
00:53:42.369 --> 00:53:45.050
I will just say this.
1053
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:49.719
When I saw this movie, I was in the middle
1054
00:53:49.739 --> 00:53:52.519
of trying to put my house in the market and
1055
00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.260
putting basically a lot of remodeling going on at the
1056
00:53:59.300 --> 00:54:01.000
old house and everything like that get on the market.
1057
00:54:01.059 --> 00:54:05.559
So this movie provided me just a stress relief of,
1058
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:07.809
So much necessary because it was during spring break and
1059
00:54:07.829 --> 00:54:09.630
I was spending my time getting my house ready to
1060
00:54:09.869 --> 00:54:11.969
put on the market. So this movie was just a
1061
00:54:13.690 --> 00:54:18.070
godsend for me to just not think about selling a house.
1062
00:54:18.840 --> 00:54:22.000
The first time I saw this movie, the first time
1063
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.019
I saw this trailer for this movie, I was sitting
1064
00:54:25.059 --> 00:54:27.960
in a parking lot at a school waiting for a
1065
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:31.170
job interview for a promotion I was going for. I
1066
00:54:31.190 --> 00:54:35.280
ended up getting that promotion for the record. But I
1067
00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:37.519
was nervous about it. You know, if you're applying for
1068
00:54:37.539 --> 00:54:39.480
a job that you want, you're going to be nervous
1069
00:54:39.539 --> 00:54:42.800
about it. And I was nervous about it. And it
1070
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:46.699
helped calm me. You know, my happy place was a
1071
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:50.650
little bit of Marvel stuff there. The first time seeing
1072
00:54:50.690 --> 00:54:53.829
the movie? Well, it's the only movie of the entire
1073
00:54:54.550 --> 00:54:57.570
MCU that I had my first experience with it at
1074
00:54:57.610 --> 00:55:00.889
a different theater. at a different location. It's the only movie,
1075
00:55:00.909 --> 00:55:03.489
the entire, every single Marvel movie that's ever come out
1076
00:55:03.530 --> 00:55:09.530
because foolishly my AMC was under construction. This movie came
1077
00:55:09.590 --> 00:55:12.099
out and I did eventually see this movie in that theater. Okay.
1078
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:14.519
But it was like my, I saw it seven times
1079
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:16.659
in theaters and it was like, I don't remember, but
1080
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:19.559
it was like round five or six that I finally
1081
00:55:19.619 --> 00:55:22.940
saw it. No, I saw, no, I think I misspoke earlier.
1082
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:25.000
I saw it in video or five times, but not
1083
00:55:25.059 --> 00:55:27.710
five times opening weekend. It was five times total. This
1084
00:55:27.849 --> 00:55:30.250
I saw five times opening weekend, and then I saw
1085
00:55:30.429 --> 00:55:33.150
two more. I'll double-check my notes, but I'm pretty sure
1086
00:55:33.170 --> 00:55:34.469
that's right.
1087
00:55:34.550 --> 00:55:36.289
Hats off to you, man. Hats off to you.
1088
00:55:36.610 --> 00:55:39.409
It was, I mean, twice in one day at one point.
1089
00:55:39.670 --> 00:55:43.940
But Thursday, Friday, Saturday, maybe it's four times. I need
1090
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:46.159
to double-check my notes, but it was definitely Thursday night,
1091
00:55:46.460 --> 00:55:51.440
Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night, and– think I did
1092
00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:53.980
go on that Sunday but I'll verify but regardless it
1093
00:55:54.019 --> 00:55:56.079
doesn't matter the point is I eventually did get to
1094
00:55:56.139 --> 00:55:58.260
see it in that theater but it's still like it
1095
00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:01.420
just it burned me it's like the one and like
1096
00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:03.510
the only one I did not see at my home
1097
00:56:03.550 --> 00:56:07.750
theater for opening night like killing me got then horrible
1098
00:56:07.809 --> 00:56:09.610
horrible time to play construction.
1099
00:56:09.690 --> 00:56:12.550
Yeah and yeah I saw it twice opening weekend I
1100
00:56:12.590 --> 00:56:15.130
saw it the Thursday night preview and then I saw
1101
00:56:15.150 --> 00:56:17.530
like I Aaron and I saw it that was the
1102
00:56:17.570 --> 00:56:20.329
last time I think we'd been That is the last
1103
00:56:20.429 --> 00:56:23.230
time that I... No, that was the last time before
1104
00:56:23.269 --> 00:56:25.340
COVID that we were in a theater, that we went
1105
00:56:25.380 --> 00:56:28.659
to a theater together. Like, the next time wouldn't have
1106
00:56:28.699 --> 00:56:30.159
been until No Way Home.
1107
00:56:31.019 --> 00:56:33.280
You know what? I'm a slacker. It was only three
1108
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:35.699
times opening week. Oh, man.
1109
00:56:35.780 --> 00:56:36.420
You're trying to.
1110
00:56:36.500 --> 00:56:38.130
Okay, no. All right, here we go. I found it.
1111
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:42.110
I found it. April 25th, April 26th, twice on April 27th,
1112
00:56:42.219 --> 00:56:47.449
and then May 4th and twice in June is when
1113
00:56:47.510 --> 00:56:50.500
I saw it. And then... For the record, Infinity War
1114
00:56:50.579 --> 00:56:55.099
was April 26th, 27th, 28th, and then once in May
1115
00:56:55.260 --> 00:56:56.219
and once in June.
1116
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.420
Those are rookie numbers.
1117
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:00.230
You've got to pump those up.
1118
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.139
You've got to pump those up, right? I figured seven's enough.
1119
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.519
Seven was enough. Actually, my goal was get higher than
1120
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:10.070
Infinity Wars, which at the time was my record.
1121
00:57:11.309 --> 00:57:15.369
But yeah, I don't want to go down the road
1122
00:57:15.550 --> 00:57:18.809
before we ruin our discussion, but this is a movie–
1123
00:57:19.090 --> 00:57:22.159
that when we were planning this idea that I could
1124
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:27.480
not wait to revisit, you know, this was the weekend,
1125
00:57:27.500 --> 00:57:31.789
this was the summer where I premiered World's Finest True Believers.
1126
00:57:32.269 --> 00:57:34.389
This is a weekend.
1127
00:57:34.130 --> 00:57:40.360
Where I started gaining a more understanding of the podcasting community.
1128
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:42.280
So there's a lot going on at this time for me,
1129
00:57:42.579 --> 00:57:45.519
that end game will always be kind of that special
1130
00:57:45.820 --> 00:57:47.800
moment in time, not just for the MCU, but for
1131
00:57:47.860 --> 00:57:50.570
me as a, as a community member of this.
1132
00:57:50.659 --> 00:57:53.510
And it's just so cool to revisit it. Lots to discuss.
1133
00:57:54.130 --> 00:57:57.429
It's a moment in time that definitely will bring up
1134
00:57:57.469 --> 00:57:59.769
some things in the sense of where the MCU is
1135
00:57:59.809 --> 00:58:02.369
headed towards when we get to King dynasty and secret
1136
00:58:02.389 --> 00:58:04.070
wars that I think we're going to get some mirror
1137
00:58:04.250 --> 00:58:06.409
mirror images that they're going to try to hold on
1138
00:58:06.449 --> 00:58:06.880
to again.
1139
00:58:06.949 --> 00:58:07.900
But, All right.
1140
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:11.099
We will see you next month. Be, you know, American
1141
00:58:11.139 --> 00:58:13.289
Thanksgiving around the time at that point. So we have
1142
00:58:13.309 --> 00:58:15.110
a lot to be thankful for because, again, we will
1143
00:58:15.130 --> 00:58:17.389
be bringing you Endgame to our patrons.
1144
00:58:17.489 --> 00:58:19.539
So thank you all. And we'll see you next month.
1145
00:58:19.699 --> 00:58:19.940
Bye bye.
