Lol, nice!

For the record, I too found the female pose scene clunky (would have been better to just have each obstacle CM encountered to be assisted by one of the female heroes, rather than having them all stop fighting to pose), but at the same time it was kinda silly that Thanos just sat there and let all the heroes portal on to the battlefield and pose up as well, rather than just attacking straight away.

I thought Scarlet Witch giving Thanos a right wolloping was a better female empowerment moment, but realistically the whole female pose scene was probably intended to inspire little children, rather than patronize adult women or upset adult man-children. :D

You see, none of this female empowerment whatnot EVER crossed my mind throughout it all, not until I come on here and read people going on about it. I see people fighting other people.

Some people see the studio making some political statement, I see a cool action scene.

You read into what you want to read into I guess.

Exactly! It never even crossed my mind until someone here pointed it out. It was just heroes fighting as a team.

I bet you the same people will moan if instead of Capt America standing alone at the end facing an army, it was Capt Marvel instead. They would see it as some woman power moment that the Studio want to make another statement. Yet I don't see anyone complaining when it’s Chris Evans standing there.

You see what you want to see.

Speaking of which,


Mad that it took Tony all of about 1 in movie minute to create a glove for the stones, where it took Thanos a visit to an entirely different planet who's inhabitance specialised in the crafting of such items to get his... xD

Not really. Me and Vincent are probably two of the biggest proponents for 'social justice' on this forum yet we both noticed it. Doesn't mean we thought it was necessarily a bad thing, just that it was wholly obvious.

You are seeing what you want to see. :p

I noticed it, thought it was clunky, but at the same time didn't think any of the female empowerment messaging in Captain Marvel was clunky, and actually preferred that film to Endgame.

Such a paradox I am :D

Indeed :)

It wasn't a bad scene, it was just very obvious and didn't really make sense in the epic battle that it would happen that way.

But there's plenty of things which don't really make sense if you are objective about them.
 
That whole battle scene at the end was just so awesome though. Don't know why, but my favourite moment was probably Thanos ripping the power stone out of the gantlet so that he could hit CM with it in his other hand. Cool little moments like that are what makes those scenes feel so epic.

Though obviously, Cap summoning Mjolnir was ridiculously cool also. Thors reaction!

It wasn't very obvious at all. Most people didn't see anything unusual.

Everyone i know that's seen it noticed it. You'd have been blind as a bat not too. But it was the only minor blip in a largely increable movie. Also
Thanos ripping the power stone out of the gantlet so that he could hit CM with it in his other hand
just made me realised all the more why Thanos is such a good villian. He's intelligent as hell and knew how to adapt to any situation, this is what made him so dangerous
Hopefully this will make CM realise she's not all powerful and needs to tone down the arrogance a little
CM she comes across as quite bitchy and unlikable so far in the MCU and she really needs to be humanised if she's going to the 'face' of the MCU otherwise it's going to be pretty off putting and kinda boring if she's going to never have an arc

If you push Brie's politics and agenda to the side and if she is indeed the new face of the MCU I won't be watching very many more of the films.

Some of her scenes were cringe worthy and the worst parts of the Endgame.

They noticed it to bring it up or noticed it like they noticed they notice it was a Marvel movie?

I noticed it too as I saw the film but I didn’t bring it up in conversation until someone else here had done.
 
Something I've been thinking about, if the stones are so powerful just to even wear a gauntlet (Hulk took a lot of damage) why did Thanos take any damage at all before using it in IW?

Wearing it isn't the powerful part of it I thought? The point at which the gauntlet is used is the powerful aspect of it that not your average Joe can take..

Hulk was only injured when he did the snap

It was painful to put it on, but no physical issues until he bought everyone back.

Hulk mentions gamma radiation and his arm/neck looked pretty bad afterwards and he didn't use it did he? Edit, ah I forgot he did the snap.
