WTF is wrong with people. Why do they love this boring shitshow of a movie?
Because it's a TV show that you pay money for and it's been going on for 11 years. I was a kid when Iron Man 1 came out so I've grown up with these shits.
Caleb Myers
Because the last one was good enough to create worldwide hype, success makes you try harder or become complacent and Marvel obviously choose to be the latter
Charles Peterson
>see the concluding movie in a 22 part franchise >woah what the fuck why didn't I know what was happening????
Aiden Kelly
The movie can't stand on its own. Therefor it is not a great movie.
Julian Mitchell
>miss the 21 previous movies >hey why are all the plot lines completely irrelevant to me
Andrew Smith
Because it stands with other 21 movies you fucking retard. I wouldn't expect anyone to understand what the fuck is going on on the return of the king if they didn't watch or read the previous movies books
Daniel Reed
Retard
Matthew Gray
Most of these plotlines ended in a boring "emotional" way. Every two Minitues they cried like babys
Mason Reyes
they're not movies, they're flicks
Jaxon Lopez
>the last movie in a saga can't stand on it's own therefore its bad you're retarded
Brandon Evans
>movie can't stand on its own
Its not meant to dingus. You missed out on an experiment 10 years in the making. You had 21 movies across a decade to jump on board but you chose the last one. Imagine reading the last book of a series and then going to Yea Forums to complain like a retard because you didn't understand or enjoy it.
Did they plan such a large buildup to an apotheosis in one final film from the beginning? I thought they just made a bunch of dumb superhero films and then had to do something to generate interest so they started weaving them into one another.
Camden Kelly
The plots aren't even good (Iron man movies after the first one) or given a great resolution every single time so it's not like people who have been following the movies have it any better either.
Asher Sanders

Thomas King
Infinity War was part 1, brainlet
Brandon Butler
>watching a saga that consists of 22 mediocore flicks if you view Marvel or DC is important parts of your life, than you're a shallow low-iq person
Adam Foster
Can someone answer this? I honestly don't know.
Bentley Wood
They announced Infinity War would be a 2-parter like 5 years ago, but before that they never really announced anything that major.
Jaxon Howard
they literally release phase lineups telling you what is coming up next and what they are building towards. Thanos was revealed 8 years ago wielding the infinity gauntlet. You just weren't paying attention to the franchise. You missed out dude, its not that big a deal just go watch Game of Thrones or something.
Jonathan Wilson
Phase 1 built up to The Avengers. Without that huild up, you get what happened with Justice League. The end credits stinger for Avengers teased Thanos and from there everything's been building up to Infinity War/ Endgame
Owen Garcia
>watching and enjoying movies makes them "an important part of your life" how autistic are you?
Parker Roberts
It's not one final movie it's two
And yes, Thanos was in the post credit scene for avengers 1
So in the end all the original Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Spiderman (if thats Marvel?) are tied together as if they were part of the same universe? When they were made initially was that the intention?
Because don't all those superheroes wind up appearing in the same films?
>You just weren't paying attention to the franchise I have no interest in superhero movies, I'm just curious as to whether the whole thing was like a 15+ year plan of just haphazardly put together as an afterthought
Ryan Kelly
Retards. You can have weak links. And each story should hold up on its own
Gavin Garcia
So Black Panther was made with the intention of forming part of the same universe in which all the other characters were in? All of the films from which characters that appear in the Avengers films are all part of the same universe then, but was that planned from the very beginning of those films?
Sebastian Campbell
This
Luis Perry
dont worry user anyone here who has had sex agrees with you
Asher Gutierrez
Yes its been Kevin Feige's plan from the getgo
Carson Wright
Every Marvel Studios movie made since 2008's Iron Man (minus properties still owned by Fox (at the time) like X-Men, Ghost Rider and Fantastic 4 etc or any Spider-Man movie before Homecoming) is part of an interconnected universe. They were split into Phases and planned as such
Aaron Lee
It's all Marvel and they've all been part of the same universe since day one. Every movie has mentions and nods to the others, and usually it's the post-credits scene that directly links it to a sequel or ensemble movie.
And to reiterate for the dozenth time: yes, they were all planned to be tied together. First with the Avengers (2012) which teased Thanos at the end. They each have their own separate movies because they have their own character arcs and stories tied to those characters. It's really not that hard to grasp.
Aaron Parker
>each story should hold up on its own
No idiot that's an anthology series. If the story relies on information built up over time there is no possible way for the last installment to "stand on its own".
Nobody is saying it's a great movie. It's some afterthought abortion but its reliable. As a marvel movie, meh.
Daniel White
Nothing was planned with Iron Man. Then it made a ton of money. So they decided to roll with it. 3(which later became 4 when they split the 3rd) has been the plan almost from the beginning.
Aiden Thompson
It really is qs SJW the movie. They even made it a point that white man belongs in the past but hey we should be thankful because golly gee was it nice. White people just love the past, don't they?
Nigger, please. You have to be retarded to buy that shit. They had absolutely no clue how big cape shit would be.
Daniel Russell
kind of. at first the big movie was supposed to be the avengers which was planned and built up from the beginning with post credit scenes. when it came it immediately started setup for the next big movies infinity war/endgame with plot points, easter eggs and hidden details in smaller scenes
No yeah totally, they didn't want to build up to an Avengers movie at all, totally an afterthought That's why they had Nick Fury in the end credits scene of Iron Man approach Tony Stark about the Avengers Initiative. They had nothing in mind for that at all
Nathaniel Howard
You make a good point. They were building up to the Avengers later due to the success. They threw that in there as an Easter egg in the first movie. That you believe some revisionist grand history is proof that they knew their core audience. You didn't notice the change of tone in the films once it became more successful? You don't remember hulk and Thor struggling? Or captain America? Did you like Iron man3? I bet you think Lost was planned out too.
Justin Davis
I'm not the one to defend cape-shit on any single day but Kevin Feige definitely did know how much of a potential Avengers franchise could have and did plan accordingly. He has been producing superhero movies since X-Men with Bryan Singer, he obviously got good at telling what could be pulled off and what can't. He has been lucky too at parts but his success probably didn't come as a surprise to himself, he has been on it for two decades.
Hunter Moore
Every Phase One movie connected to each other in some way. Don't know how hard that is to grasp, they didn't just have Tony Star show up in Hulk for no reason
Alexander Martinez
It's one thing to plan things and it's another to alter your plans according to the data you have. It's obvious MCU was planned as an interconnected universe but it's also obvious that plan changed at parts. Spider-Man may not have been in the original plans, Guardians of the Galaxy may be tonally different, Joss Whedon could have been directing the Thanos stories, Ant-Man could have been a part of the original 6, etc. So yeah, most of the plans change, but if we are arguing about whether there was a plan, the answer is yes. You don't get to make out 10 billion dollars as an afterthought. You do that by having a plan and be willing to adapt it to fit the circumstances.
Nicholas Fisher
What the fuck does that even mean?
Jack Cruz
Because by that point they were trying ronfr wye hype. They wouldn't have made it if it wasn't cost worthy. But it went from stand alone, to Avengers, to infinity stones. They had enough talent and leeway to make it work.
Nathan Rivera
Honestly the cringiest part of the movie was all the fucking applauding. Can't stand that shit.
Evan Nelson
Lol what maybe 3 of those movies have anything plotwise to do with endgame? Did you need to see iron man 3 or antman 2 to understand what was happening in endgame? Fuck off with your man baby shit you gigantic faglords lmao
Aiden Sullivan
Honestly I've only seen less than half of every Marvel movie and I followed Endgame just fine The point is moreover that they've clearly been building up to this for a decade.
Dominic Thomas
>post on Yea Forums >didnt know all capeshit are interconnected yeah, nice bait buddy.
