Re: Avengers: Endgame (April 26th, 2019)

In the most recent interview between the Russos and Peter Travers they refer to the films from Iron Man 1 to AEG as "The Infinity Saga." Nice name for a box set.

They do admit to being partial to Cap due to their history with the character but still only call him the "co-leader of the Avengers" along with Stark. They consider Steve and Tony to be opposite sides of the same coin, where Tony's arc takes him from a self-absorbed loner to working well with a group compared to Cap who starts by taking orders like a good soldier but then has to eventually walk away from the powers that be due to his personal code of ethics.

Interesting stuff.

Hulk was worse robbery... But yes Alien 3 was very frustrating....

However... I actually like it a lot now.... but boy was I pissed in the theaters

If Blomkamp's Alien 5 had ever come to pass and was a worthy sequel to Aliens (was always unlikely, but I hoped) I was ready to nevertheless keep Alien 3 as 'alternative canon' because I do really like that film now.

Yeah for ALIEN I have two parallel canons:

A1/A2

and

A1/A2/A3

Because as much as I too appreciate A3 more often than not I just prefer the more hopeful ending of the second film.

I have multiple universes ... where all films end well.

I have tried many times to like Alien Resurrection on account of its impressive visuals but unfortunately that is always the only positive I take from it. Just about every other aspect is wrong. Still buying the NECA figures though.

1997, the year SW, ALIEN, and JP franchises went to pot, lol. It was also the year Paul Verhoeven stopped making awesome sci-fi.

I'm surprised Alien 3 gets so much hate. I guess because it was so different from the 1st 2? To me it's still better than 4. Prometheus & Alien Covenant were near unwatchable for me. I think I got to a point in both of those were I just scanned through them till the end, only stopping here and there to watch for a couple minutes..

But I'm not the biggest fan either, so....

Says the guy who despises TLJ because of what it did to the characters from previous films.

Disney also delayed all the Avatar sequels.

Must be making room for some X-men and F4 goodness.

If Avatar 2 bombs then "The Pandorian" will debut on Disney+ Fall 2023, lol.

At least Avatar has a fighting chance since its up against forgotten Star Wars and tired MCU.

I'm sure it will be the "Aquaman" of Christmas 2021.

I'll go see Star Was (see what I did there?) on a cheap night. Open to anything MCU, hard pass on Avatar.

Holy crap lol

I have the Avengers Assemble scene on my iphone that I recorded at one of my Imax shows with a hyper motivated crowd and i’m playing it over my car speakers right now and I kid you not when he said it and the audience reacted I got goosebumps!

Man who can ever forget that epic moment in A1!

That scene is only second to Loki slamming himself on the ground.

TBH I take the Russos, Feige w. a can of salt now....or any time directors are talking. Way back when the Russos were tapped for Infinity Wars the main arcs were gonna be Cap/Bucky/Tony, SW, and Thanos.

Fast forward there ended up being hardly any of Team Cap in IW, Bucky hardly sez anything, and while there's a lot of SW it's not like she's trying to come to terms with her powers - or even the audience really knowing what her limit is.

Ended up with a lot of Thor, Tony, Banner, DS, and Guardians and Spiderman.

Not that what you posted is inaccurate, ultimately, but I think there was an awful lot selling of the next MCU especially in IW Then there's other stuff like how much Thanos children got talked up but overall I didn't find them mind-blowing.

Just sayin' - for me. But it's not like I wouldn't happily see EG again, if other people weren't being rude and keep buying tickets.

Thanx for posting that, good interview, enjoyed that. Always struck by how intelligent and how much experience Anthony Mackie has, for all his playing around. I think he's gonna be a great Cap - really liked how he talks about wanting to show this new Cap learning how to be Captain America.

I'll miss his dynamic with Steve Rogers. Although figure WS/Cap are gonna be amazing in the series - hopefully the script etc. are great.

Ebony Maw should have talked more in EG. His main power is insulting people and talking ****.
