Why the hate and have you been an avid reader and collector of Marvel Comics for very long?
I doubt the poster actually "hated" the movie. Hate is a strong word, although everyone has an opinion. I agree with you that you could not have liked the direction of Thor and Hulk but still liked the rest of the movie.
It was initially a surprise to see "Jarvis" appear in Endgame.
The reason that's a surprise is because we learned a couple of years ago that the reason characters that originated on television (including Netflix) were owned by the television writers who created them (and that includes comics characters adapted for television--the television adaptations are the properties of the television writes). Television writers belong to a union that makes licensing their work extremely expensive for motion pictures. So while a character that first appeared in a movie might later appear on television, vice versa would be rare.
So it was a surprise to see the character "Jarvis" that originated in television's "Agent Carter" appear in the movie.
Except that it was the "Endgame" writers Markus and McFeely who also wrote "Agent Carter," so "Jarvis" was their property to use in the movie.
This whole discussion illustrates perfectly why I tend to dislike most time travel stories: They don't hold up to even basic scrutiny. The only way to really enjoy it is to shut off your brain, and I hate doing that.
We have TIME AFTER TIME. No further time-travel movies are needed.
People are tweeting more than ever. I doubt that it overtakes Avatar - in 2009 dollars.
True, it's hard to determine, but I honestly don't remember nearly as much buzz around Avatar. It was a much different era, but I actually do remember super packed theaters for Titanic. Even still, the style of movie makes it more likely Endgame would receive more tweets than either Avatar or Titanic.
People have to forget everything they think they know about time travel from other movies and stories. Actually, that should be the modus operandi going into every story of science fiction and fantasy: Never cross the streams! But in this case, they outright tell you so.
The only authoritative information we have for time travel in this movie comes from The Ancient One and (less authoritative) Bruce Banner. Banner knew a lot about the scientific side, but The Ancient One schooled him on the effect of the Infinity Stones, specifically that the Infinity Stones prevent alternate time lines and force all events into a single time line....
...as long as there are no gaps in the existence of any of the stones in the timeline. Only if there is a gap in the time line existence of a stone can a branch occur. That's why Captain America had to return each stone to its last moment in the original timeline. Notice: He didn't have to return each stone to its original circumstance, just to its original moment. Anywhere in the universe at that moment would do.
True, it's hard to determine, but I honestly don't remember nearly as much buzz around Avatar. It was a much different era, but I actually do remember super packed theaters for Titanic. Even still, the style of movie makes it more likely Endgame would receive more tweets than either Avatar or Titanic.
I calculate that fully 10 percent of the American public watched Engame in just its first weekend (based on ticket sales and average ticket prices).
