We went to a 5:30 showing and left the theater at 9:00, which I was very, very surprised by when one of my friends told me what time it was. Yeah, it's three hours long, but it didn't feel like it at all.

Agreed. I actually wanted more.

Endgame.

Endgame.
It was incredible. It was a different movie than I expected as it set its pieces up, then it went from strength to strength.
I don't know how any franchise, including Marvel/Disney's, can top this. We might have just peaked for some time.

Feige really gave us a gift.

The truth is that it wasn't "Endgame" itself that we're experiencing, but the whole 22 movie, 11 year story that we all went on which was so spectacular. "Endgame" itself is great, but it isn't a fraction of what it accomplished if it is just some movie on its own. This was a monumental marathon of storytelling and commitment from (most of) the actors involved that just created something so beautiful it can't even be described well (at least not by me).
My favorite Marvel group was always X-Men and there's no comparison to that Fox franchise. And I only wish Star Wars would have been done half as well. But I do agree, we probably won't be able to experience anything like the Infinity Saga for a very, very long time, if at all in our lifetimes.

@Warma-Sheen I agree for the most part but that's hardly something we can hold against it. Is it the latest season of Game of Thrones diminished because a large part of its emotional impact is in having favorite characters imperiled and seeing how plotlines will be resolved after watching the show for years?
I think not.

There were some good parts to Endgame, but the first half was remarkably disappointing.
As was the decision to repeat IW's "look now it is the ladies' turn to fight" idiocy. Especially unforgivable given how much of a non-issue women fighting was in BP.

@Rinel You know, that was my complaint too about an otherwise good movie. I was like REALLY, we need to go there? To pointedly have all the females gather in one section and be like "It's cool, we got this, GIRL POWER"
:sighs:

@Rinel @jibberthehut I wasn't going to comment on this movie anymore as I've encountered a lot of fanboi butthurt aggression if you mention ANYTHING negative about this movie but...I've thought about the "girl power" part of the battle and was it necessary? No, I don't think so. I also don't' think it really detracted from the scene at all and it was a kind of cool visual. I certainly wouldn't hold it against the movie. For me, I think they could have cut the first half hour or so easily in half and lost nothing but that time from the movie. Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of good stuff there but it's stuff I would have much rather seen in a director's cut of the movie instead of the theatrical release.
