really want a Lebowski Thor and battle damaged Cap
Maaaaan this movie
After seeing the movie last night, pretty safe bet on saying, there will not be a Thor figure. If fact, I anticipate only 1 more figure to be released. Maybe an additional depending on how fancy they want to be.
Just got back from watching it, some tired 4 in the morning thoughts and heavy spoilers:
Overall I really loved it, got teary in some parts. I think it wrapped nicely up a lot of characters stories. A lot of what happened is what I thought would and what others have said. Tony Stark sacrifices himself by snapping Thanos and his armies away, in the end killing himself also, with a very nice touching scene with Peter reminiscent of Infinity War. It's a lovely end to Tony's arc, and it's great that it pretty much centres around Tony and Steve. Steve finally gets his dance and kiss. He wields Mjolnir and Stormbreaker and kicks ****ing ***. He's great in this, everyone will want Cap from this film, this is THE Cap! There's a monumental great shot of Steve with his broken shield and heavily beaten up standing by himself confronting Thanos and his huge army. Professor Hulk has previously snapped everyone back into existence after they get all the infinity stones and at this moment a lot of portals open up and all who were lost flood in creating the Avengers army. We finally get Cap saying Avengers assemble!
Steve comes back to Falcon and Bucky as an old man. Not sure if he is staying in the future as an old man now as an advisory role, I think the idea is that he lived his life with Peggy, then came back to present time. He passes the shield to Falcon.
Thor -- my sort of favourite character. I get what they're doing with him and where they're going. He's been weakened heavily in this film and is the comedic relief. He's got zero power he did have pretty much. He's a visual pun as well as with his dialogue. And it does work. But I can't help but feel his character has been hard done by. On the flip side I do like his new character, sort of torn by it. Him wielding both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker should have been more epic, we should have seen him wreac havoc but he's nothing like he is in Ragnarok or Infinity War.
Black Widow :'(
Some people do remain dead in this film. Doctor Strange was wasted in a hilariously bad way.
A lot of the film feels like a long Ant Man film. But overall the tone, and pacing is great. Does not really feel like three hours.
The end battle is pretty epic.
Overall I think a lot of people are going to be very very happy. I imagine some people will be disappointed also, it does have its pits and isn't a perfect film. But as a culmination it wraps all the films up very nicely.
Captain Marvel I'm happy is barely in it, but when she is just gives off arrogance. Her power level... I don't understand it. She just flies through big *** ships and beats everyone down pretty much. Unbelievable that they weakened Thor so much and have this character as super powerful.
There's an all female shot in the end battle, which although lovely and badass... comes across as political and took me out of the film personally. In two minds about it, didn't feel natural.
But now it just feels like any problem they have in the future films they can always just time travel and fix things.
The whole time travel stuff I'm sure makes sense, but it all flew over my head.
Overall, can't wait to see it again. Late night musings, some opinions may change the more I think about it and see. As I type I'm more interested in this Thor, I just need to get over they I loved the character how he was and who he was become to an extent, but now they're all in with a very new portrayal - and I do like it's a culmination of all the parts that broke him as a person. They take the idea and run with it.
War Buster? No idea what that is. Only buster suit in the film are the one that Bruce was in form Infinity War at the beginning fo the film. War Machine is in the one revealed by Hot Toys for most of the film which I think a lot of people consider lesser than his IW version. Thne at the end of the film when Thanos' ship arrives at the Avengers HQ and blows everything up WM gets stuck under all the rubble and detonates the suit to get out. Then somehow when he's out and back on the ground he's in a new extremely bulky and ugly looking suit reminiscent of the Iron Patriot.
I mean I really dislike WM as a character in the MCU and think his armours look trash, so I'm probably bias, but the IP type bulky one look bloody awful. Any fan of WM will be disappointed by his suits in this film. IW is probably the superior version, if he even has one at all.
After seeing the movie last night, pretty safe bet on saying, there will not be a Thor figure. If fact, I anticipate only 1 more figure to be released. Maybe an additional depending on how fancy they want to be.
Off topic, but the 4K Blu-ray Steelbook is up for preorder at Best Buy in case anyone is into Steelbooks. I’m guessing this will sell out.
