Guys in the song “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath there is a lyric that says “When he traveled time For the future of mankind” Black Sabbath predicted endgame
Twilight Cowboy the songs literally about a guy who gets turned into metal by traveling through time. You can’t hear “iron man lives again” and be like ISSS MARVLLL!!!
@@OdaVenom Product of its time I guess, I'm watching Star trek the next generation and I obviously see it having in mind that it's ages old and I really enjoy it. Te adventurous feel it has doesn't age
@@Supreme_Court. I think Mike and Jay both made it pretty clear that while they aren't "fans," they enjoy them. Especially Guardians and Avengers 3 & 4.
Can we dwell on the fact that there's going to be an awful lot of awkward encounters when the 3.5 billion unsnapped people go back home to find their spouse married to someone else?
How about that guy who was de-materialised while taking a shit and now his house and toilet isn´t even there anymore. AWKWARD Also, fetuses/fetusii? who disappeared do they reappear inside their mothers belly or just in the air where they were at the time of the snap. "Don´t think about it" - Rick
Thanos was right all along even Steve realizes it. Water was cleaner in the Hudson there were whales. Now the planet is fucked up and there are twice as many people.
@@avenderiel what if the mother was reduced to ash but the 9 month old bebe survived 🤔 If a baby cries in the street and nobody's around to hear it... I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.
BigEyeGuy yeah, I don’t understand how they can possibly like these movies. I don’t usually like superhero movies in general, but Infinity War was especially bad and I don’t see any indication that this one is any better.
When Dr. Strange saw 14 million possible futures, did any of them include one where a rat didn't just happen to walk on that button? If so, that was a HUGE gamble.
Man I can’t believe they went with the rat 🤦♂️. Of all the ridiculous contrivances THATS the one they went with. Why not just have the van in a depot that is in business and manned and a worker stumbles across the machine? Much More plausible than the rat contrivance.
@@danielc7131 to be fair, it took 5 years for a rat to scurry across the control panel. That's what made it plausible enough for me, if it happened in hours or days I'd be rolling my eyes
@The Jester - Fool Of Hearts Gandalf the Grey didn't come back. Gandalf the White is technically a different character (with distant memories from Gandalf the Grey). There's a lot of spooky, cosmic lore behind it and if you haven't read the Silmarillion then I'm not going to get into it. ^_^ But I get what your saying, from a storytelling perspective I agree having Gandalf stay dead would have been more impactful. Then again, Tolkien didn't really write the LofTRs for us, he mostly wrote them for himself because he liked creating the world and languages of Middle Earth.
Well, with the new time travel rule that this movie made-up. Anyone and everyone can bring back to life ( just pick them up from a different time), then black widow and stark can be still alive ( just from the difference time, like nebula and gamora, while the future nebula can kill the past nebula and the past gamora can stay in the future). Then nobody needs to feel sad of anything! And that's not it, with the time travel machine that creates by Tony, they can always go back to get the stones and the Infinity Gauntlet before Capt return them all. I mean, do you even need to snap the fingers? Made a ironman gauntlet and put all the stones on it, then let Capt mavral use its power and flight over the space to kill all the bad guys. Also, don't even think about how could Capt return the soul stone
I'm waiting for a moment when he finds out Kevin Feige is as much a die-hard Star Trek fan as he is, and how he has publicly stated numerous times being influenced by it throughout the MCU.
@@CleverGirlAAH Peg: Hmm... in that case, maybe we should move to the Rockies. Colorado is a beautiful state. Steve: Oh, sure, I guess that would- Peg: And I hear the the Columbine school district is a great center of learning for our kids!
McDonalds?! You know they go to Burger King, every day, just to scream "PUSH THE WHOPPER BUTTON" at the cashier. There's a tinge of sadness, in Mike's taunts, because you know what the name of that episode is? "Big Mac."
Pretty much how I felt. Act 1 and Act 2 felt REALLY comic booky, like "this is so wacky that it feels like a comic book without taking me out of the movie" and Act 3 reminded me of LOTR because holy shit.
I hated the ending. I found the start somewhat interesting, but slow paced(Natasha's emotional breakdown after five years for instance felt wrong for some reason). The time heist was cute, I guess... But then? CGI Army Attacks Again. For the umpteenth time.
@@dsilva369 Yes, yes it was. It had a big army of people who worked for Thanos attacking the people defending the Earth. I'm not saying, btw, that it was awful, nor that there weren't some nice parts to it, but that three versus one fight was far more entertaining to me than the big CGI blob that came after it.
@@ArlanKels the difference being those people defending the earth were the combination of every single living character and group we've met in the mcu. And set up by an incredible epic moment that is very reminiscent of Helm's Deep in Lord of The Rings. Against the best villain and biggest threat in the mcu. It's filled with incredible character moments. And it ends with the culmination of a 10 year character arc. There was simply no better way to have a final battle in this saga.
Well also they've got the same problem with Captain Marvel as they have with Superman in the Justice League in that they are so powerful that you have to limit their time in it. I anticipate that they will try and limit her role somehow in future Avengers films because of this.
can you guys please make a second channel solely dedicated to videos of mike laboriously explaining the plots of every single star trek episode to Jay in excruciating detail?
Comrade Kong i dont think that was trying to show that “toxic” men were losing. The reason Tony had to die was because neither of the sexes could beat thanos. Stay salty, I guess.
I guess Red Skull would only rent out the location to them for a day, and the cost of making two separate trips in a space ship would have been far too high, even for Disney.
@@velkylev4217 Yeah. That should have been all about the decision/argument between them and not a fight scene. Could have been really emotional if Black Widow managed to convince him it had to be her because he has a family and then he reluctantly watched her go. I mean even if she incapacitated him somehow just to get her way and then he watched as she walked towards the edge, closed her eyes and jumped. Could have been slow, beautiful and heartrending with an emotional build up. As it was it was just based on who happens to win a fight. Could have gone either way and ended up being a bit silly, like two kids scrapping to get the last cookie. I guess lots of people seem to have liked it though.
"It's time to hang up our Marvel hats, and put on our Star Wars hats as we watch beloved franchises go down in flames... like the Hindenburg" I love you Mike
Thread Bomb I think what they’re doing now is smart, they’re going to have another spider man movie and then take a little break and try and focus on small scale conflicts and stories and then perhaps build it back up to the stakes we had with the past two avengers. We’ll see what happens.
WAIT I just realized something... if Jeff Bridges played Obie in the first Iron Man, and Tony Stark makes the joke about fat Thor being "Lebowski"... then who played The Dude in the MCU version of The Big Lebowski??? Was it also Jeff Bridges? Did Obie just sound a LOT LIKE JEFF BRIDGES IN IRON MAN AND NO ONE EVER BROUGHT IT UP??? HOLY FUCK
ThatJarebearGuy or how Steve wrote star wars in his catch up book , not to mention the ultimate comics where they just decided to use his likeness without asking , and he loved it , there was even a comic where everyone says Samuel l Jackson would play him in a movie, and this was in like 2002
Lucien Lachance whenever my friend and i watch movies with mcu actors we always end up talking about how these movies still exist in the mcu, therefore everyone there has a doppelgänger who’s an actor
I don't know anyone who even remotely thought that was a possibility. The Russos have had an entire year to edit this thing, and have been planning it for far longer. Many wondered if it could be better than Infinity War (it is), but no one that I've heard of was worried that it would be horrible. One of the greatest movies of all time.
The movie should have been at least 5 hours long, with an additional 2 hours devoted to detailing exactly how Thanos would cook and eat those alien potato things.
2 uninterrupted hours of just a series of long, almost atmospheric takes of thanos living a peaceful and wholesome life as a lonely farmer. Then suddenly the avengers pop in and kill him. End of Act 1.
I like how Thor was playing Fortnite in 2023. It symbolizes how he was still clinging to the past, and not moving on with his life. Very powerful scene.
He must have glazed over and missed that whole cringeworthy "girl power" moment as well... Or, maybe that'll just be addressed in their next Geek Squad unboxing vid, where they open up a bunch of bootleg Marvel's Endgame toys and realize that all the female superheroes toys are just cheap repaints of Rose Tico dolls! So, cool. Captain Marvel was such an inspiration to little girls, Mary Sueing herself to the rescue when the Scooby Gang was in a pinch... It makes one wonder, how did Steve Rogers get all those stones back to their rightful place in the very end, especially without the help of Carol Danvers along the way? She hasn't aged a bit over the years, that makes her superior to old man America! He should've just gave it up and let the ladies set everything straight, so he could just Hot Tub Time Machine it back to the past, only to be a fly on the wall, as shit ultimately hits the fan and he decides not to mingle, in order to avoid damaging the timeline in some funky fresh fashion. Didn't Thanos already f^ck up the timeline by time traveling to the future and getting dusted? Just a thought.
@@eddieholly648 No, it is just a ref. to Cap using the line in Endgame, to outsmart the situation, since he knew all the guards and agents in the elevator was Hydra, since he fought them in the other time-line.
What I don't get is that Marvel (Disney) were able to make all these films over the course of approx. 11 years, dealing with so many different characters, all with their own stories that combined spanned a time frame of almost an entire century (81 years) and then somehow managed to have them all interconnect with one-another along the way and all wrap up in quite a satisfying way with Endgame, while Lucasfilm (also Disney) can't even manage to make 3 Star Wars films where they only needed to write one story about a handful of characters that just needed to work together within one and the same main plot. I find this so incredibly mind-boggling.
I thought the exact same thing. Kevin Feige is a wizard. He may not write the scripts, or direct, but no one moves index cards around a cork board better than Kev. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kathleen Kennedy is a talentless hack.
It's a good example of the fact that no matter how many hundreds of millions you throw at something, you can't substitute for competence and good execution, i.e., having the right people in the right place at the right time.
@@TheGrades90 Well, it's not really that simple. Almost a century of comic books of stories about all these characters have gone through so many different versions and alternative universes. It's not like Marvel has had a unified canon of these characters history. Sure, they have had a massive pool of inspiration but still, it's quite an impressive feat to string all these movies together and manage to still end on what's a fairly satisfying resolution. Star Wars on the other hand is the direct opposite. This latest trilogy is an embarrassment of such a degree that it's almost impressive in it's own right. I actually think you would get a better result if you wrote down 50 different events that these characters could experience on post-it notes, posted them on the wall and then randomly threw 10 darts on said wall. It's amazing how so-called "professionals" can fail so completely.
Easier to guide a ship which is already gathering steam and has a clearly defined course before you even acquire it, than to guide a ship that HAD a lot of steam 40 years ago, but is now dead in the water due to a failed second act 15 years ago.
@@martyjehovahSure, there's definitely some truth to that but even if the prequels were terrible most of it was due to quite bad execution and what I think comes down to Lucas focusing on once more revolutionizing the technology rather than fleshing out the story, world-building and character arcs. But at least the absolute bare minimum idea of where the story was heading was fairly clear. The sequel trilogy on the other hand had no clearly defined direction at all, especially when you can see all 3 films, one after the other and realize what a monumental screw-up it is. It's almost like they intended to utterly destroy Star Wars.
@@tsohgallik My favorite part was when Captain Marvel had the gauntlet and had to get to the portal thing, but there were a few dozen fodder enemies in her way. Instead of her just blowing right fucking through them, she waits a half dozen of the weaker supporting members of the Avengers to come to her aid and offer to fight off the enemies for her. She's just literally endangering their lives and could have killed everyone herself in seconds, but she just lets everyone else slow her down and risk their lives for no reason.
I'm glad they definitively ended Tony Stark's and Steve Rogers' storylines in this film, because it serves as a very satisfying jumping off point for those of us who dread what might be coming next in the MCU. I am onboard for an Asgardians of the Galaxy movie, though.
Nathan Rosario asguardians and Peter Parker gets hpv in Europe should end the mcu. They gotta wrap it up. God knows x-men will try and mine more after dark Phoenix. But these gotta wrap up.
Spoilers: They are confusing the dialogue about the earth quakes. In the scene they are talking about black widow is looking for something to do, someone to save so she ask about some detected earth quakes and bald lady from black panther says its just mild subductions so there is nothing to handle as its harmless. In another conversation captain marvel says that what is happening on earth, as in society trying to cope with the loss, is happening on 1000's of other planets and she needs to go help them. Its 2 completely different conversations.
Yeah, they seem to have mixed up Marvel talking about what she is doing during the 5 years and an issue on Earth Oyoke says isn't an issue. The earthquakes aren't anything to do with Thanos.
@@VinchVideos Um no. Okoye says there's an earthquake and Rhodey points out a massacre that was caused by Clint. (there's still chaos). The only time they showed it as a positive is when Rogers says the water is cleaner because of fewer ships which then leads to Natasha threatening to throw a sandwich at him.
@@VinchVideos Dude, if there was no crime in a post-snap world why the hell would Clint Barton be out there slaughtering drug cartels and Yakuza? I think you're just willfully ignoring plot points in order to justify complaining about nothing.
"Hail Hydra"- Captain America Nice little reference to the comics and very clever move by the captain to get them to release the scepter. I love that they explained how Hydra got the mind stone. I always wondered how Hydra ended up with the scepter after Avengers 1, I mean it was never spelled out but I assumed since in Captain America 2 it was discovered that Shield was infected by Hydra that some secret agent had stolen it.
@@HRRRRRDRRRRR Well in the first Captain America there was the Tesseract, right? And it had a bluish light, right? Then Loki comes with the scepter and the scepter has bluish light too, and I automatically assume it's the same stone.
FYI 19:00 Wakanda (in the MCU) is north of Kenya. Kenya is about 10 hours ahead of California. If it's early in the morning in the Ant Man 2 post-credit scene, it could be late afternoon in Wakanda. Also it's not specified where Clint's safe house is, but it's very safe to assume it's somewhere East of San Francisco. So the timezones do check out. (also Nick Fury and Maria Hill were in Atlanta when the Decimation began -> This also checks out with the timezones... Just wanted to clear that up - nice video you guys!
@@sojirofreak Like I said... It's safe to assume Hawkeye's farm was somewhere east of california. Based on the general looks of the farm and its surroundings I'd say it's somewhere in the State of Georgia. If it's 9 am in the AatW scene it could be 12pm in Georgia. It makes sense, stop discussing this...
Thor and mom's moment was lovely, but I gotta go with Tony and Howard as the bigger tear-jerker for me. Their scene after they get outside is just perfect, and both actors make it the most emotional (kinda)father-son moment I've seen in a long time.
you forgot about the biggest Star Trek thing they ripped off... The signatures of the actors at the end of the movie in the credits!!!.. That was first done in the credits of Star Trek 6... The undiscovered country!!!!... YOU HACK FRAUDS!!! How the f could you forget that??????
Bet you $10 they didn't stay for it. Same reason they were surprised Carol just shows up in this movie - because they probably didn't stay for the CM post-credits scene.
That movie felt very final, in that anything in the MCU after it would trigger the mythical superhero fatigue. They finished their epic, and in my mind that's the end of it. I'll probably still watch Guardians of the Galaxy though.
Luckily Disney owns this, and they're a company who infamously doesn't make excessive and crappy sequals to anything successful to try and make a few extra bucks.
But the thing also is that you should not use your powerful characters too much. Because they are too effective, they should be used carefully. Also you have to have very good writing to make powerful character relatable - usually means some great flaws in them to balance out those great powers. E.g. Captain Marvel movie sounds boring as ef because of lack of those elements. Too powerful, not any major flaws within.
@@HiveDes In the comics she is often portrayed with short hair. It also helps to set up the scene with her mirroring the scene in Infinity War where Captain America is struggling to stop Thanos from snapping. She has a similar scene and her hair cut really pushes that imagery.
Dasher Crow To be fair, game development probably stagnated with half of earth’s population dead. It definitely was a scummy business cross over but I thought it made some sense.
Well, we could read into that both that Dillon Robinson's point about development stagnation being a big thing, and that he picked a game and REFUSES to move on. (Symbolism of an unsubtle kind yes.) It'd be the equivalent of still playing multiplayer of a game released six years ago. (so, 2013 or so) Not necessarily utterly sad, but noteworthy. (To be fair people play multiplayer Age of Empires 2 today, and that is literally 20 years old.)
I think Thanos disintegrated the beginning and end segments of this episode. Either that or Mike and Jay have grown out of doing skits. And _that's_ just ridiculous.
Aaron Carnes man... I just found this out a few days ago! It's CRAZY! One minute it seems she literally couldn't give a shit, then she becomes the new Thor! I may be cynical here, but my guess is that it has something to do with money...!
Aye, and it was awesome. Loved that moment to bits. She's the strongest Avenger after all. I'd trade Captain Marvel's screen time for more Scarlet Witch in a heartbeat. Heck, CM was there only to save Iron Man... The real MVP was the rat though. ;)
I really liked that because she wasn't cocky or super angry or anything, that "you will" was just super sad and she's going to take it all out on his giant purple ass.
@@BitchenMarsRockstar she was really angry, though. It was more that her anger had boiled over to the point where when the focus of her anger was in front of her she decided to make him suffer instead of ending it quickly. It was a fucking awesome scene, and if she had ended him quickly it would have felt cheap. Thanos deserved everything she was going to do to him.
@@TechnologicallyTechnical Yes, but while Deus Ex Marvel saving Iron Man was still kinda a believable event, destroying the ship in one go was just "another time Captain Smirk destroys a big-ass spaceship without even breaking a sweat, because Girl Power". I'd much prefer seeing other Avengers using whatever they had to destroy it. Wakanda bringing their hi-tech-Africa shit, Iron Man or Potts using last reserve of suits to help... You know, see them struggle, see them making an effort, see them win in a satisfying way. Nope, there goes -Superman- -One Punch Woman- Captain "Is this a personal attack?" Marvel and blam, the ship's gone. *Cheap.*
LOL I know Mike said "keep it to yourself" but that earthquake part was completely misunderstood. The black panther bald lady said there was an earthquake in Africa, and Black Widow asked "How are you handling it?" And bald lady said "It's an underground earthquake under the ocean. We are handling it by not handling it." It had nothing to do with space. The scene was to show how anxious and unstable Black Widow was that she wanted to handle a natural phenomenon. Captain Marvel had to go around space because there are thousands of other planets that have the same Thanos problem, but they're in chaos because they don't have the Avengers.
While Mike did totally miss the point and you're correct. There is a belief that was an easter egg setting up the next Black Panther movie. I feel there were a lot of these in the movie that will take a while to notice them all.
I'm surprised many people are so angry about Fat Thor. He was great, also he's a goddamn viking! You know what vikings do in Valhalla? They eat, drink and fight all day long. This is the most Viking that Thor has looked in the whole MCU movies.
Turning Thor in to The Dude annoyed me when I first watched the film. But after I spent some time thinking about the movie I realised that Thor is, pretty clearly, suffering from PTSD in Endgame.
He also remains that way for the whole runtime. Like, he doesn't magically revert to hunky when he finds himself again. If anything it says that your body type doesn't have to be 1:1 to your headspace. Can you imagine the outrage if he managed to get past his PTSD and was immediately in good shape again? The fat jokes worked _because_ he was the most shredded Avenger and that's how far he's fallen. I dug the braided beard and dual-wielding hammers too.
From the look of that stain Jay's slowly bleeding to death - every time Mike talks about Star Trek the stain gets bigger. About 5 eps from now he'll be dead and they'll make a movie about Rich going back in time to prevent Shatner from making the original series. The title will be "Saving Susan"
Eitri: I harnessed the power of a star to forge this gauntlet capable of holding the stones that control the universe. Tony: Gonna build one in my lab. Eitri: It took eons of craftmanship to master- Tony: Actually, gonna build two just in case.
That was kind of the point, I think. Tony's didn't last past one use. It fried them both after only a few secodns of holding the stones, let alone using them. The Gauntlet was made to hold and use them over and over.
@@MonoKabi that's what I thought. Tony's barely held on enough to get the job done, but it wasn't really capable of handling the power. Thanos didn't die from using the gauntlet, Tony did.
Peggy: Steve I can't believe you're back, I'm so glad, we're gonna be together forever! By the way have you met my niece? She just turned 10 Cap: Uh oh.
No matter what universe he grew old in, he had to watch that little girl grow up EVRY SINGLE DAY until she bore the face of the last woman he passionately kissed before Peggy
I hated the addition of Captain Marvel. Not because she's a woman or because she's so powerful but because her introduction was too late. It feels silly to introduce a character 2 months before she plays a pivotal role in your "final" film.
It feels extra weird because fury had her on speed dial the whole time and didn't think to ask for help when an alien army poured out into Manhattan. Feels like her wheelhouse, ya know? I actually really like Captain Marvel, her movie, and Brie as her, but feels like she got did dirty.
It wasn't 'pivotal' though. She basically had two cameos, and the second one was her getting smacked by Thanos so hard we didn't see her again until after the battle ended.
@@slowmoe1686 no, the second one was when she single-handedly annihilated the Sanctuary II, arguably the biggest and most advanced space ship in the whole damn universe
True. I have a theory that Marvel Copy/Pasted Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Guardians and Spiderman to attract other audiences since most of Phase 2 failed. However, since they planned Infinity War/Endgame a while ago, the addition of these characters is clearly forced. You can really see that in the end battle. Despite the movie focusing on the OG Avengers, it was weird seeing long scenes with those four franchises literally passing the ball to each other as the new Avengers.
The way I understood the earthquakes is: the erathquakes weren't happening all over the universe, what was happening all over the universe was the planets being in shambles due to loss of 50% of the life there. This disarray is what required Captain Marvels attention, not reoccuring earthquakes. The earthquake on earth was singular, below sea-level and inconsequential, which is what the Okoye 'black lady' pointed out out to Black Widow. This just served to show how Black Widow was holding on to issues and unable to let them go. She was seemingly leading/coordinating the team these past 5 years and wanted to 'deal with' an uncontrollable, unimportant and natural issue outside of all human and especially her abilities. The way I understood it, it just served to illustrate her inability to deal with defeat and events beyond human capabilities.
That is what happened, CAp Marvel was flying all over to help other planets because of the snap, and Widow was overworking herself as Cordinator and had trouble accepting that a Natural Undersea Earthquake wasn't some situation they could deal with (Over Micromanaging?).
@@Rokkoasas Except not for long, because the immense instability caused by losing such a huge portion of society would kill a ton of people for many decades. Though probably not gonna be as bad as what happens when over 3 billion people pop back into existence on a planet with infrastructure which collapsed 5 years ago.
Didn't you guys think it was weird when Captain Marvel asked Spiderman "Ara ara~ Got something for me Peter?" And then proceeded to gangrape him with all the female avengers?
@@omensoffate This was GOTG Thanos, it was give or take 4 years before he was what he was in Infinity War. A lot can happen in 4 years the same way a lot happened to the Avengers in 5 years. Also, one of the big point for Thanos' growth was killing Gamora, which hasn't happened yet.
Thanos is and always has been team avengers team buster level. There is nothing unusual about him taking the team on... he doesn't need the stones to be strong he can fight Galactus without them (he can't beat him but he can hurt him).
People have been scared shitless by Thanos (and people associated with him) for some time, and he 1v1 knocked out the Hulk like it was a joke. I wasn't shocked at all by his (combat) performance in this one.
I thought including Fortnite was a bit lousy and will probably not age too well (even the online chat stuff and a name like "noobmaster69" is a bit of a throwback to like the Xbox 360 era imo) , but I was just glad to see Korg back.
