Oh, how I cried. Never have I cried over a movie as much as I have here. Definitely an experience not just MCU fans, but people in general should have. I will not be reviewing Avengers: Endgame yet, as I will be seeing it again soon, and am still processing. Needless to say, my emotions are all in a jumble, I feel as though my heart had been pulled out of my chest and crushed before me, and my hands still hurt from all the clapping I did opening night. It goes without question that Infinity War is critical for this movie, but will repeat it just in case anyone is thinking of watching Endgame without having ever watched Infinity War. Trust me, you'll be thankful. Captain America: Civil War, because that rift between Iron Man and Cap is critical Next, rewatch, or at least keep in mind the first Avengers film, Thor: The Dark World, and Guardians of the Galaxy. They play a critical role. If you can't do all three, watch refresh yourself on the attack of New York in Avengers, ...

Captain Marvel was fine - no match though to Black Panther, or the likes of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, or Spider-Man Homecoming. It wasn't the worst solo movie, nor the best, resting in the safe middle where the majority of the solo films find themselves. Breaking records has to do more with the feminist side than the actual plot or acting, because while Captain Marvel should have by all means been epic, Brie Larson is too dry of an actress, no amount of superpowers saving her from appearing dull. Nick Fury and the birth of the Avengers are the real stars, as well as the hope for having Skrulls secretly hidden in the MCU all this time; have Loki turn out to be a Skrull, if it means we get Loki back! Basically, Captain Marvel also got her powers from the tesseract / space stone. Nick Fury names the Avengers after her. Project Pegasus links back to here. And Fury lost his eye to a cat;...

*Thanks Wikipedia. Coming after Infinity War, it is safe to say that Ant-Man and the Wasp under-performed, trying to elevate its box office with the constant reminder that it was the next MCU film after Infinity War. Really, it takes place simultaneously; imagine if Ant-Man and the Wasp had been released before Infinity War. Would the Infinity War hype have helped it? Would the dusting of Wasp and her parents have ruined Infinity War, or intrigued us more as to what was going to happen? Honestly, I think that, if not both, than at least Ant-Man and the Wasp would have pulled more money, fans left to wonder, just what happened . You only need the end credit clips of this movie for Endgame. Sorry Paul Rudd, but this isn't working. And I have fun with both Ant-Man movies - Paul Rudd and Michael Peña are great - but having just come off of Infinity War, this was a slight bump on the road. So, in just a little over a minute, what you must watch for Endgame: Yeah, so just rememb...

*Image taken from Wikipedia. The Greatest Cinematic Event of 2018. All the MCU, brought together. Yes, if you even had the slightest interest in the MCU, Avengers: Infinity was a must see for you last year. Obviously, this is your #1 rewatch movie for Endgame, the bare minimum for Thursday night. Any summary would not do justice to all the moving parts, plot lines being drawn in throughout the MCU, references made to the enjoyment of the MCU fandom. So no, I will not be summarizing here; go watch the movie. I'm planning to rewatch it again  the Thursday of before the movie. If for some reason you can not rewatch before Endgame, I'll refresh some key info for Endgame. First off, The original six - Iron Man, Cap, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye (though not shown in Infinity War) - survive the dusting, as do Nebula, Okoye, Rocket, Captain Marvel and War Machine. We have been revealed that Pepper, Happy, Wong, Valkyrie, and Ant-Man outside of the film as well, all these...

*Image from Wikipedia. Black Panther is one of those films that I'd be surprised if someone hadn't seen. Yes, it is a solo superhero film, without bringing in any of our main Avengers, the only other MCU character we know prior to this besides Black Panther being Everett Ross, but that's what makes Black Panther all the more impressive. Finding itself months before Infinity War, Black Panther had it's first black superhero lead. While War Machine and Falcon came second to Iron Man and Captain America, and Nick Fury is the big boss of all, Black Panther is a full showcase on an African hero and taking place in the fictional Wakanda in Africa. Beyond continuing the MCU, Black Panther was important socially by putting Black Panther as equals to, if not the original six, than at least to the likes of Doctor Strange and Spider-Man in terms of power and importance level, but also over-passing so many superheroes in terms of box office and popularity. While Captain Marvel...

*Thanks Wikipedia. AAAA-AH! AAAA-AH! Yes, it wasn't a lie, Thor: Ragnarok saved the Thor trilogy, a remake The God of Lightning desperately needed after Thor: The Dark World. It's a must watch for Infinity War, we find out where Hulk, Thor, and the rest of the Asgardians (plus a few others) end up and why it is that we see them all (mostly) dead on the Asgardian ship, at the feet of Thanos. More importantly. Banner talks of a fear of being unable to turn back to himself if he becomes Thor once more. During the ultimate (AAAA-AH!) fight, he changes to help save the Asgardians, and he is in his Hulk form when we last see him. Yet, after being taken down by Thanos and sent back to Earth, we have Bruce Banner once more. Even worse, the Hulk no longer comes out. Why? With all the rumors speculating on what happened to Hulk, including that Banner is actually Loki in disguise, I believe that because of the Hulk, Thor: Ragnarok will yet be heavily important for Endgame. And even ...
