I don't want to spoil Emma's thread and risk ruining the film for those that haven't seen it.

So.....

Look away now if you don't want spoilers.

Have you left? Good.

For those of us still here.....

WTF??????????????

How many plot holes?

I'll start with one.

If 2014 Thanos is snapped out in 2023, he never lives beyond 2014. So does that mean the later films never happened?

Article does a great job. Have to remember sci-fi movies with time travel require a sandbox to play in with customer rules. I'm, the rules do have one plothole that the article mentions but glosses over. The rule is that the stones must be in the reality to control the flow of time. Thanos destroys the stones. That literally means there is no regulator of the time stream as of the Garden.

i agree that the movie plays within the rules that it sets up for itself.

that's a good point on the destruction of the stones, though - one that i hadn't thought of at all, myself.

doesn't make me like it less, though. i'd love to see it again today, but every bloody screening seems to be sold out.

Time travle is always weird. And they knew it and the made several, near 4th wall breaking, jokes about it... But it is still a mess. But Such a pretty mess... (now that is a song I want to hear His version of LOL)

As to keeping the 5 year gap... that was presented as something Tony wanted as to not lose his daughter.... so it came off as him being self centered--even if it was necessary.

And they did not seem to address the aftermath of the adding billions to the population and the social issues of what happens to relationships as well as infrastructure. One can say Prof Hulk thought about all that and "snapped" all of it right.

And this was an issue in millions of worlds...

And where do they come back to? Seems that was not thought out... I guess Hulk could have sent them back to where they would be needed?

He is still 15. Again, this is explained and shown in the movie. I think you need to see it again. And this time, pay attention

i was speaking legally

Yeah, he's still 15. Legally, illegally and whatever else.

my point is more of a social implication... how do they determine who is who?

This was a very bad year for box office so far, but Marvel/Disney/Lucasfilm alone will make up for, and make it one of the biggest ever. One company will make all the profits this year.

Captain Marvel made over a billion. Endgame has already made over a billion and will likely make over 2 when all is said and done. And Disney still have Frozen 2, Toy Story 4, The Lion King and Star Wars Episode 9 to come this year. And all of those movies are likely to make over a billion. Then you've also got Aladdin, which will make a lot. If not a billion, it won't be far off. Great year for Mickey and Co.

Endgame could make 2 billon outside the US and be the first to break a Billion domestic.

It has a real shot at beating all records.


However, I will guess this weekend is about 40% of its final... it 3 hour run time may reduce repeat views.

maybe 800 Million US and another 1,600 Million World Wide for a total of 2.4 Billion or #2 domestice and World Wide...

I'm still trying to find our if hawkeye's children aged. His daughter seemed preteen when she disappeared but looked like a teenager when she came back. Seems she's being setup to be a part of the new younger Avengers

Watch the movie again. She's the same age. No time has passed for the people who died in the snap. The movie explains all of this. I don't know what is so hard to understand about that.

All of the people who were dusted off when Thanos made the snap returned to their past selves just before the snap when Hulk snapped them back to life. The reason 2018 Loki, Heimdall, Vision, 2018 Gamora, and Black Widow did not return when Hulk made the snap back was because they were killed physically and not cosmically by Thanos. And when Peter Quill went to kiss 2014 Gamora, remember that the 2014 version of Gamora hated Quill and wanted to kick the crap out of him.
