Disappointing to see Thor go through all the adversity he went through in his movies and other Avengers movies, only to be portrayed as some coward in this last movie.
Well for starter he was a spoiler little brat who was sent away by his father without his hammer and powers. Lost his mother. Lost his father, Lost an eye. Hammer destroyed and Asgard and most of his people destroyed. More asgardians died, Loki died, Heimdall died, got his ass handled by Thanos the first time they met. Failed at killing him before the snap.
I don't know about you but that would make anyone depressed.
But he's not human...regardless, great point.

If you think Avengers Endgame has plot holes don't watch The Last Jedi.

Captain America being able to pick up Thor's hammer
In Avengers AofU, he was able to move it. From the comics, the side of the hammer carries the inscription "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." In Endgame, his worthiness was absolute going against Thanos.

Haha haven't seen that one yet either. Kinda forgot about it tbh.
-
@black3dynamite Yeah that makes sense, he never gave up, got back up after getting knocked down.
Odd how he knew how to use the power though, but still.Still really liked the movie, talk about epic, whew.

Captain Marvel, she flew through a ship and destroyed it in 5 seconds, ship likely has the diameter of a mile, yet she gets tossed around effortlessly by Thanos...Duuuuuuuuuumb.
That was some fan service teaser of her powers. Just like what happen when Superman showed up kicking ass at the end of Justice League.
Plus Thanos sucker punched her using the power stone.

Its better to not think too much into movies like that.

Yeaaaaaaaah...plus they have to make it cinematic.I was able to suspend my disbelief right up until the "Female Heroic Pose Before We Save Spiderman" moment. That was so artificially set up. I enjoyed the rest of the movie, and I do my best to not think about things too hard.

Also, how did the gems magically appear in Tony's glove? How did they even fit, that physically doesn't seem possible unless the glove shrank them. I guess since he made the device, he has the ability to take the stones out, I get that, however, Tony and Thanos struggled for all of 5 seconds...The stones just poofed into Tony's glove?
Two words, Nano Technology. His gauntlet and his suit is built with nano tech which is why he can move the stones.

Just another one of those fan service teaser. A-Force teamup scene.

I'm generally fine with fan service, but that was such a jarring moment in the narrative flow. To go from "we're fighting for our lives against a powerful enemy that has all of us engaged" to "let's get every single female (many of whom didn't even have more than one line if any at all) into a single camera shot to pose for the audience" was more than my suspended disbelief could take.

@kamidon said in What Are You Watching Now:
Speaking of Tony, Iron Man, couldn't the Hulk put the glove on and heal Tony? Or perhaps rewind time like Thanos did when he killed Jarvis, he could have prevented his death then.
Hulk was physically and mentally weak from the snap he did to bring everyone who snapped back. Not sure gauntlet was even available to try. Can't rewind time because that will also bring back thanos and his army.

But they have to be "woke".

So just tell him the lore already and be done with it..
WTF? Do I even ever deal with stupid like that?
I don't apparently know any of this lore either - I mostly know the movies, and what I can remember from the 80's cartoons - I've never like comicbooks themselves, just not my thing... so I don't know much of this lore. -

I didn't realize Hulk was that bad, especially since he was lifting hundreds of thousands of pounds of concrete after they were fired on
Nah but yeah that makes sense, the stones obviously take an enormous toll on both mind and body.Thanks black, appreciate the feedback.

...And Captain Marvel didn't need their help to fly through, over or around the army. She did just went through a ship multiple times.

I have not read Marvel comics since the 90's. I was also more of an X-Men reader than Avengers.

@kamidon said in What Are You Watching Now:
I suppose it would be boring if Thor just beheads Thanos a second time, but I think I'd prefer it, then they could just be shown fighting that massive army.
From the first Iron Man movie that ended up kicking off a 10 year journey. And with Avengers, Iron Man 3, AofU, Infinity War and Endgame. It was always about Thanos and Tony Stark. At least that's how I see it.
