--- Quote from: Castlerook on 04 Sep 2019, 16:31 ---To be fair, the writers of Endgame discuss this.
(click to show/hide)Basically they wrote themselves into a corner with how Infinity War ended. There was no coming back from such a fundamental change in the wake of Thanos' snap. Granted, the "time heist" kinda felt like an end-of-season-clip-show, but what could they do? The bad had won and achieved what he wanted. Most of their allies were in dustbins or blowing in the wind. The stones were rendered useless. Its not so much that time travel is bullshit, its that they tried to keep people from guessing what would happen across both films that they shot themselves in the foot.
I mean, I would have loved it if we had gotten the scene where Cap tells Thanos "so long as one person stands up against you", we didn't get it, but it was implied. Just that one moment where Thanos realised he could never win...and then Nebula could have stolen the Infinity Gauntlet off him. But we didn't.
Time travel wasn't the best way they could have solved the problem, but it could have been worse. Far worse.

Wrote themselves into a corner my left asscheek. Thanatos has gotten the Infinity Stones at least twice in the comics . They had 30+ years of comics history to pick, choose, and improve from.
Any talk of writing themselves into a corner is just BS excuses for them being pretentious asshats and trying to keep fans from guessing what they were doing. I can't tell you how many excited posts I saw for people brining up Adam Warlock or Secret Wars or some other thing I've only got ancillary knowledge of. And these writers wanted to keep the fans from guessing. Good writing should be somewhat predictable. Especially when it comes to subjects the viewer has intimate knowledge on.

MCU is in trouble and Marvel know it. It shows in the captions in the trailer-thing.
COVID19 could not have come at a worse time, with Endgame, the biggest challenge facing the franchise was to maintain its momentum and convince audiences that the story wasn't over; that there was still reason to continue to follow the series. So much more momentum has been lost and you can see in the trailer that Marvel are deliberately referencing the excitement of phases 1-3, claiming that, no matter how different it is, you'll still get the same positive buzz from the experience.
Post-COVID entertainment marketing is going to be weird, isn't it?
