    Cassie wasn't snapped, she lived for 5 years and grew naturally at least 10-12.

    :P

    yeah, I understand that she wasnt snapped. whats confusing is having cassie be the same age (thereabouts) as spiderman now going forward. Would pregnant women who were snapped, remain pregnant 5 years on?

    What if two highschool sweethearts were seperated by the snap? One could be 15 whilst the other now 20. How they are going to explain that going forward will be intersting.

    Anybody snapped didn't move forward in time by 5 years, they've been 'suspended' in the Soul Stone.

    Fair questions.....just another reason I hate time travel. ;)

    Sorry if this has been brought up, haven't read the thread, the thing that seems a bit heavy to me for this type of movie, is the massive massive loss of life that still occurred after the snappening, even after the snap was undone.

    Tony says to Banner, "Remember, bring the all the smoked back to now, don't undo anything in the last 5 years." I think this would have been a good point for the directors to put in a handwavey comment along the lines of "You can completely undo the last 5 years, the stones with remove you from paradoxes" or something along those line.

    If you take the smoked out of consideration, the death toll, on earth alone most have been in the 100's of 1000's. Plane/Train crashes, Nuclear power plant explosions, government's topling, subsequent war\famines etc etc. Thats just on earth, this was a universe wide occurrence as characters kept reminding us.

    tbf, on the time travel stuff, it was a bit vague and kind of a cheat. They could do any action the wanted in the past and it wouldnt effect the present in any way...

    Still haven't seen Black Panther and didn't see Captain Overkill neither can't wait for a southern Mutant to come along and kick her over brooding ass. Get it done Disney.

    Rollercoaster of a movie cementing Barton's turn in the opening scene was so captivating Thor Hulk and Tony's character development was shocking I expected more deaths, the lift scene was an extremely satisfying Easter egg as was Thor's roommates. A lot of plot holes and too much tying up of loose ends for guardians related stuff but Star Lord getting his groove on my god that was epic. Good way to spend 3+ hours I'll wanna see it again but more likely with Infinity War first as trying to remember some of the scenes was hard.

    Following this post is harder than following the time travel logic.

    except stay in the past and reappear in the future.
    I need to sit down somewhere quiet and puzzle it out :o

    A nice easter egg for everyone:

    Go to google
    type in Thanos
    click the infinity gauntlet
    see what happens ;)


  • Posts: 8,756 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    How does this impact agents of Shield?
    They going to be post Thanos snap or post Hulk Snap?

    Not entirely sure she did return, though maybe there's an interview with her stating otherwise (she was certainly at one of the premieres), but her scene had all the hallmarks of a Thor Dark World deleted scene (there's one very similar of her waking up on Asgard).

    No interaction with any cast (story wise not an issue), the shot of Rocket could have had a body double walking across the frame as he appeared out of hiding etc

    Maybe we'll find out in time or when the footage is compared.


    Unused footage from Dark World would make the most sense. Especially given the size of her role here, and Portman's resistance to appearing in the previous Avengers movies.

    Yeah i would have thought Janes scene was just reused/unused footage from Thor 2, her role is that small with zero interaction, its hard to believe it would be new footage :confused:

    Aye it's reused footage with digital inserts.

    Thinking back as I go and another plot hole is Nebula in the future knowing about Gamora and the soul stone and what you had to do to retrieve it.

    Clint and Nath are both sent to get it but when Redskull explains to them what you need to do in order to get the stone, theyre both perplexed and shcoked.

    Now, Nebula and I'm assuming Stark knows about it as they were on Titan when Thanos returned without Gamora and survived the snap there together so they must have talked about it but never filled the others in, even Hulk when Clint comes back and Nath doesnt, is clueless to it.

    Had any other team been paired to get the soul stone other than Clint and Nath the mission would have been a bust given what you had to sacrifice.

    Surely Nebula or Stark should have mentioned it to the team before hand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭RickBlaine


    I wonder was Aunt May snapped or did she spend 5 years mourning Peter. It will probably be address in Far From Home.

    Teenagers are the worst. So little regard for anyone else around them. Wouldn't shut the f*ck up with the constant loud talking and I've never heard a cinema so loud when it comes to snacks. Like some of these gobsh*tes behind me HAD to have been doing it on purpose. Imagine a plastic bag being smashed and crinkled for three f*cking hours straight and you get the idea. Oh, and chew with your mouth closed ffs.

    The reason I went at 8am... almost an empty cinema

    Nebula wouldn't have necessarily known that a sacrifice was needed for the soul stone. All she knows for sure is that Gamora went to Vormir, and didn't come back. For all she knew, Thanos killed Gamora when he got the stone, as he would no longer have need to keep her alive. She had been lying to him all along about it's location, so from Nebula's perspective, it's plausible he'd kill her in retaliation instead of as a sacrifice.

    Massive event movies like Endgame can offen be great audience experiences. It can really make the film really enjoyable and entertaining. For example, there was a collective gasp followed by cheering when Cap caught the hammer.

    I usually love almost empty screens but I think Endgame is best enjoyed with a packed enthusiastic audience. Shame some assholes ruin that for some people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 310 ✭✭Ethereal Cereal


    I might go see Greta tonight, cause the screen will be empty :pac:

    Yeah, usually I hate packed screens, and groaned when I realised my cunning plan of going to a 3pm showing backfired cos I forgot schools were off and it was all teenagers, but I'm so happy I saw it early, in a packed room of people all on the first showing. It was awesome. I don't go for the cheers/gasps/sobbing myself, but all of that did add to the experience. Tis up there with my favourite experiences in a cinema.

    I prefer empty screens myself but there was definitely some moments I would have liked to have experienced with an in tune crowd; On your left and the madness to follow being the main one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭RickBlaine


    Hail Hydra got a great reaction in my screening. In fairness, it was a very clever and witty moment.

    Same with Cap's "Yeah I know".

    In fact the whole New York sequence was really entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,445 ✭✭✭mloc123


    Not really sure sitting in a packed room of people eating popcorn, nachos and crisps while slurping drinks adds anything to the "experience" for me.

    Well yes but depends what you want from it; would be nice to experience a film with an in tune crowd but I'm happy to sacrifice it in exchange for not having to put up with the odd idiot. All it takes is one to ruin a film so I prefer very early doors showings.

    What's weird about it is she would have known when she went for that kiss that this was aunt peggies husband.

    He didn't know at the time but she would have known growing up.

    That's some electra complex.


  • Posts: 8,756 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I had a great time in the packed theatre. It's an event film, like seeing a concert with a crowd

    Peggy also never said anything to Steve when she was dying in hospital - because that reality didn't exist for them.

    Giant Man charging onward during the Avengers assemble was a great shot.
