  INFINITY WAR: unwatchable space trash. one of the worst movies in the MCU.

  ENDGAME: a genuinely touching (and cleverly self-reflexive) mega-spectacle about how it feels to fail the people you love. one of the best movies in the MCU.

  i don’t make the rules!

  glad that the entire genre of superhero movies could end on a high note.

  (longer, spoilery thoughts to come on friday)

  an adrenaline rush and exactly as gaudy as you might think, but also completely unique tonally in its approach. this feels like a special moment in film history at the very tippy top of the cinematic universe era that can’t possibly last for as long as people expect. in the scope of things, film is still in its infancy as an art form, and to see a spectacle like this that has so many moving parts is kind of remarkable, even if it’s not totally my thing. for better or worse, we’re living through one of the most exciting times in history to mass consume and bond over art, and that really is... something

  I was going to start the conversation of Avengers: Endgame with some lame shit like "this is the bubble bursting" or "the longest filmic groan in existence" but that doesn't really cut it, nor does it even matter. In just its first day, The Mouse has earned over 169 million dollars overseas in sweet superhero coin, and the film is expected to gross more than 260 million domestic in three days stateside. None of this is a parameter of quality, but it might as well be. Marvel has their lineup slate and their constant stream of success, both critically and with audiences, and the Thursday night crowd roared, applauded, and cried while they bought their matinee Sunday ticket during…

  i still cannot get over the fact that scarlett johansson, who is worth $140 million dollars, got paid to make and eat a peanut butter sandwich on white bread in this movie. i CANNOT get over this. A PLAIN PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH. and she tries to share this one sandwich with steve, and then scott eats it later in the scene. IS THIS ALL THE FOOD THEY HAVE IN THE AVENGERS HEADQUARTERS? A BILLION DOLLAR BUILDING AND ALL SHE HAS IS PEANUT BUTTER AND A LOAF OF BREAD? ENOUGH

  I'm not going to do a big long post for this one. It's almost one in the morning and I don't have it in me. Maybe later. For now I just want to get down what I think is my main problem with how these movies have developed, and where they've ended up.

  In that first Iron Man, Tony Stark takes forever to put his suit on. It's a whole ordeal, with all these whooshing and whirring mechanical arms with a million different pieces to affix to his body. Putting on his suit isn't an act, it's a sequence. It's not something he can just do.

  But that's not the case by the time of Avengers: Endgame. Now putting on…

  Review by k(arst)en ★★★½ 36

  There is something so interesting about these films. Something so odd but charming, so ridiculous but right, so messy but structured. That something is a lot of things, and this film takes that thing and turns it up to the max. Superhero films have over the years excercised this idea of being more than just a genre, but a completely new style of filmmaking. This (and Infinity War) are the perfect examples of what this style is. It’s an indescribable and chaotic phenomenon that you can’t help but feel invested in, no matter how much background knowledge you have. It forces you to care at such an extreme level. These films will not only go down in history as some…

  I saw Iron Man in a theater when I was 10 years old. All these years later fans have come to expect a lot from these films. For a film that had to be so many things for so many different people, the Russo's did a solid job developing this universe and giving certain characters the proper send off.
  Tony Stark’s development over these years, from selfish cocky billionaire, to a man willing sacrificing everything for the greater good, is incredibly satisfying and well written. In the middle of all the self referential humor and action, was a truly touching story of redemption. Steve Rogers' wrap up was well handled as well. The integration of the less important heroes into…
