Avengers: Endgame Open Thread (NO SPOILERS, PLEASE)

[RandySF]

It's the big weekend for comic book nerds and Avengers fans in general. Avengers: Endgame is breaking all kinds of records. Were you able to get opening weekend tickets? Did you enjoy it? Here is a thread to share all your NON-SPOILER thoughts.

1. I saw it on Friday afternoon and I enjoyed it.

I thought Infinity War was a decent movie despite being repetitive and pointless. Endgame is better than IW, fortunately. I had a few qualms with it, though. Thankfully, the long running time breezes by.

2. I saw it and loved it.

It wasn't at all what I expected in that it wasn't wall-to-wall action. In fact, it was more like Ocean's 11 than it was like Infinity War.

And it was definitely a satisfying resolution that left you feeling somewhat spent and exhausted at end (but not in a bad way).

3. Great completion of many story arcs

The Russos have a masterful four movie run (Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame).

Waiting for the next MCU movie has been a wonderful experience for my daughter and myself. Some clunkers during the 22 movie run, but, in general, a very enjoyable ride. The only thing remotely close to it are the original eight Harry Potter movies. The MCU functions more like a television series than a movie series.

I am a DC fanboy since I was 10. Hat tip to Marvel and Mr. Feige and the rest of the creative teams. You won.

Now what is the next big thing?

4. Saw it yesterday and LOVED it. Went to a late AM show it wasn't very crowded.

When I got home afterwards I had to just sit awhile and mull it over.

5. Our theater was 75% full early this morning.

The final hour is the best in the entire superhero genre.

6. The Russo's and Feige have raised the bar.

7. Best fight scene ever.

They actually managed to tie the whole thing together. Amazing.

8. They really pulled it off but...

I was not emotionally prepared for the feels.

9. It was the perfect topper to a great franchise.

It provided me not only with everything I wanted, but a ton of stuff I wanted but didn't know I wanted. So many set-ups from the previous movies were teed off with absolute perfection.

Whatever happens to the franchise now is anyone's guess, but for this first (now) complete chapter, it checked every box I could imagine.
