Thought Sony had the rights to X Men and Fantastic 4? Is that not true then.

No. Sony has Spider Man... and Marvel bought back some of those rights and they share them. Or something. Fox had X-Men and they got bough by Disney, which owns Marvel, so they're effectively back with Marvel.

One thing I didn't get is why they brought everybody back 5 years in the future. Imagine being a random survivor: half the world gets snapped. You live on. Chaos, anarchy and savagery happens. You grieve for the loss of your wife and kinds. Then 5 years later: doublesnap, everybody's back. But the world is the fucked up mess of 5 years later. HOW IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?!

I liked the idea, since, it deviates from the complete happy end and flawless victory over what Thanos did. They won but not without heavy losses. Actually they didnt exactly win, they survived.

If I recall, Sony now only has the rights to the spiderverse, but not spiderman himself. Which is why we're seeing stuff like Venom suddenly getting his own (terrible) movie

Back in 2015, Sony struck a deal with Disney’s Marvel Studios that permitted Spider-Man to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to the terms of that deal, as reported by Vanity Fair (the deal has never been publicly disclosed) Spider-Man would be shared across Sony and Marvel productions for a total of five films.

Spidey has been in three thus far and Sony cannot incorporate the character into its own extended universe until the deal comes to a conclusion. That five-film cap will presumably be reached when two already filmed movies debut: “Avengers: Endgame” in April and “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in July (it is likely Spider-Man is in Endgame, though he has not been in any of the trailers released so far).

In return for agreeing to the deal, Marvel Studios has provided A-list characters for Spider-Man’s recent solo outings that star Tom Holland: 2017′s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” saw Robert Downey Jr. headline as Iron Man. The movie grossed over $880 million worldwide, according to Comscore. And this summer’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” will see Samuel L. Jackson don his eye patch once more to play Nick Fury. Marvel doesn’t share in the film revenue but can see a revenue boost from merchandise sales related to the movies’ characters.

I thought it was a great movie. That said, in movies I care more about getting the tone right rather than telling a good story.

Story-wise there was a lot of plotholes, as expected when time travel is involved. Most characters were treated sans Thor. Thanos maintained a strong villain presence but his past self just lacked the same depth. And like any Avengers movie I hated the big final battle and I wished it remained small-scale fight of the survivors vs Thanos.

Also, Captain Marvel has the worst characterization ever out of any Marvel superhero.

I enjoyed it just like I enjoyed TDKR, the story made no sense if you think about it but the execution was great.

I wouldn't say her characterization is bad as much as its absent.
They could pull a Thor and give her a really good arc over a few movies and still save her as a character.

78% on Rotten Tomatoes and one of the highest-grossing opening weekends for films of all time disagree with you. There's obviously a ton of overlap between comic book fans and movie goers, but they're clearly doing something right with Captain Marvel on the big screen. Plus, she's obviously in the running to lead the next phase of Marvel superheroes. Her movie was pretty solidly received, she's getting another one, and we'll see where it goes from there.

Just watched it. 6/10 in my opinion. Probably harsh cuz I expected much more. I thought as a standalone it was a poor movie. But as the finale of this mcu phase, it did a decent job in tying everything up.

I usually don't like time travels, but I can accept the logic discussed by banner and ancient one. However, I absolutely hate how cap stayed in the past and showed up as an old man in the present. There's no logic behind this because the cap that went back in the past is not the same cap that is old.

I like thanos change in view from eliminating half to eliminating everything in the universe. I thought it made sense because he became aware of how his plan didn't exactly turn out the way he envisioned.

I like what they did with thor. He loss his parents, loss his brother, loss his best asgard pals, loss his city, loss half of his people and fucked up cuz he didn't go for the head. He was rightfully depressed so I enjoyed his character.

I disliked what they did with captain marvel. She felt way too op and for all the hype she brought, she was criminally underused. I don't really know her skillset, it appears to be just headfirst flying through everybody and it feels so boring. Basically you could remove her and the only minor problem you have is how to save Tony from space. Where was she the whole time when they were attempting time traveling? Was she informed of the plan? How did she know to fly back?

I dislike the pacing of this movie. There were too little fights. First 2/3 was just story telling. The only real fight is the big one, where there were too many characters fighting each other for screentime. For a 3 hour movie, i was expecting much much more. Infinity War was brilliant. Skirmishes after skirmishes to ensure every superhero was featured adequately.

Also how the hell does cap shoot lightning? Wielding and summoning the mjolnir is fine, but isn't the hammer just a tool for thor to better control his lightning, rather than being a lightning blaster itself. And why in the midst of all the desparate fighting would cap even think about attempting to wield the mjolnir.

Was Hawkeye going full vigilante really necessary? Does it make sense that potts joins the last fight in the suit? Why is there so little hulk smash. This version of hulk is a literal joke. Is Wanda really that strong in mcu at that point in time?

Then there's the inconsistency with touching the stones. The power stone alone contained so much power that the collector's servant got fried touching it. GotG struggled to contain the power. After so many years of study, how did the avengers know how to make a stone out of the aether. How did they get the stone out of tessaract. How did they know how to design a gauntlet equal to the infinity gauntlet that's capable of holding all 6 stones using earthly materials. Remember the gauntlet had to be forged by some dwarf blacksmith guy using a burning star and yet Tony could build one in his lab.

Basically I feel empty with this movie not because its over but because it did not turn out the way I liked. Actually after typing this whole chunk, I'll revise my rating to 4/10.
