Okay, I... officially take back everything I said here. Or almost everything, I guess. Just rewatched the movie, and yeah, everything's fucking fine. Rocket's fine. The Guardians are fine. Everyone is fine. I think I maybe got a little too distracted by the subtitles in my first viewing (I was far enough from the screen for them to be really unavoidable to the eye), and having now got used to watching movies in pure english with no subtitles, I think I'm beginning to understand just how much they detract from the experience. No line ever feels well delivered when you already read it in text faster than the actors can say them. You can't really pay attention to the acting when you're constantly reading translated text, and stuff. This second viewing today, having been closer to the screen, I made a real effort to avoid subtitles as much as possible (believe me, it's really hard), and noticed how good everything was. I say I take almost everything back, because I'm still iffy on the Gamora situation and very not amused with the Thor situation. But Endgame really was one hell of a movie, and it wasn't unfaithful to its characters at all. The one non-Guardians thing that annoys me and will continue to annoy me really is the Pym particle stuff. It's honestly really silly to imagine that no one in the whole freaking universe can figure time travel out when some guys in a lab did it and only required some stuff that was made by Earth scientists as far back as 1970. But eh, it's a movie, I guess. We ignore that one thing and the MCU can continue to be awesome. If it doesn't, well, Endgame is. |
Yeah. That kinda bothered me too but we look the other way. Tony, Hank Pym, B r uce Banner (I've typed it twice and both times that weird spacing was there), Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom are all geniuses but they're supposed to be geniuses in a certain area. Only Reed from the Fantastic Four knows everything about everything. Tony's genius is super OP.
He went from not knowing anything about time travel to not wanting to change the past. Then he went from not wanting to change the past to being there guy who figured it out IN ABOUT A DAY!
But still the the high points of the movie were so high, you have to almost actively look for things to complain about. The writing didn't seem a clever and a lot of the jokes were jokes I had seen elsewhere but that was minor.
