MILD SPOILERS CONTAINED.

Well not really the world… that’s overstating it. I had a real hard time with a couple things. 1. Having just introduced captain marvel the movie prior they made her all powerful and without a character flaw. The formula for superheros is to have a flaw in either personality or character that makes it so they have to band together to beat a common enemy. With CM they created such an all powerful hero they had to write her out of 90 percent of the movie with the lazy excuse that other planets needed her. This also plays into the iron man scene. CM could have defeated the enemy single handedly.
2. The movie makes fun of other time travel movies but then breaks it’s own time travel rules at the end. Sloppy.
3. Captain America, for an obvious play on emotion, does something incredibly selfish and out of character at the end. I am so disappointed by what marvel did with the captain america character throughout the movies I cant even tell you. He should have died.
4. when you have that many big egos and names in a franchise it will get unwieldy. And it did. With Downey jr. And Christopher Robert Evan’s having obvious control over the storyline. When it was leaked that Evan’s would not play CA again he obviously should have been the one to sacrifice (a needless sacrifice because of CM but whatever) that would have been true to character and personally satisfying to me because I hate Evan’s CA.
I know the comics lay the outline here but they have moved away from them so much it is kind of dumb to follow them.
5. Visually it was good. But the storytelling was horrible. If this were any other movie other than a marvel one I would have flopped. It is an embarrassment of modern culture.

Definition of suicide: the act or an instance of taking one’s own life voluntarily and intentionally

I do not believe that was the intention, otherwise by your definition Jesus would have also committed suicide… which I don’t believe was the case.
 
I could be wrong, someone told me what happened. Maybe it was explained incorrectly. Sorry, don’t want to bother anyone.

Depends on your dictionary.

The one I was using: “the intentional taking of one’s own life.”
 
Once Disney took over Marvel, it became action packed non sense.

I liked the 3 Spiderman movies with Toby Maguire. They all taught good moral lessons.
 
He’s just jealous that he doesn’t get a cut of the record breaking cash Disney is raking off this film. 😛

Speaking of, Endgame is already the #2 film of all time worldwide, and at this point I expect it to pass Avatar by the end of the month. Not adjusted for inflation, of course.

What did Cap do that was selfish/out of character? Besides affirming SSA and cursing, that is. But at the end, when he SPOILERS
stays in the past to marry and have a family with the girl he fell in love with, at the point when the world didn’t need Cap, how is that selfish?

He got his dance!! I’d say that’s pretty great, and emotional payoff we’ve been waiting for for a long time.
 

This video can help you decide, the less media the better, it creates a stronger imagination and one less infected.
 
Don’t like many of the actors who keep telling their own political views instead of just acting.

Spoiler Alert…
Spoiler Alert…

I do like the theme of the first half - Avengers Infinity. Thanos is shown as an evil character who thinks that wiping out half the population is a way to solve poverty.

Waiting to see second part, Endgame on video at Redbox.

I just don’t understand the appeal of super hero movies. I am 31 and have never really cared for them. Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy was pretty good, but these new marvel movies are mostly terrible and shallow IMO.
 
I don’t understand the appeal of a lot of things. Sometimes I try to understand; and when I don’t I try to let them enjoy whatever it is without remarks.
 
I don’t think there is much to understand.They are simple entertainment, movies where super heroes take down the bad guys.

There is little to talk about where there is no negative so at least at work, at school, anywhere, one can say they saw Avengers. No controversy.

No one watched shows like “I Love Lucy” and said, lets analyse it.

I have greatly enjoyed the Marvel movies thus far. Certainly, there are some of the movies that are more forgettable than others, but I don’t think any of them have been truly awful where I wouldn’t watch them again.

I think there are some good catechetical moments about courage and self-sacrifice in many of the films. They aren’t perfect, but I think there’s more good than bad.
 
I too have enjoyed many of the Marvel movies. It started with Iron man and then just kept going.

I have yet to see Endgame but I am concerned that they take this relaxing movie format and ruin it by injecting politics into it. Does it need a gay love relations- no as it barely has any love relations at all. The only one married is Hawkeye and that took many years and many, many movies to finally show.

Yet it works.

The scene in question is really a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of thing. I must have spaced out and missed the start of the conversation because I totally missed the fact that the guy was talking about a date he had gone on with another guy.

It does concern me that they will seek to inject political commentary in some sort of increasing way going forward. More and more that’s the way things are going. Superhero movies and animated movies have been sort of the last respite away from such things. Though I don’t imagine that will last forever, sadly.
 
My two cents here is that if a movie contains swearing it can be fine, but if you find yourself using swearwords, I would seriously limit or cut off exposure to them. In your case, it sounds like swearing seriously bothers you, so it should be fine.
