6 Thoughts on Avengers: Endgame

Ten years have come and gone in the blink of an eye. I can still remember the events surrounding that original Iron Man film in 2008, and my going to see it at the midnight release. I can still remember the popularity of that first trailer, and the Onion article mocking that popularity. Oh how far we’ve come, and how how great the journey has been!

I loved Avengers: Endgame 3000.

Av Endgame Review 08

Movie Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic

I have a feeling my thoughts on this film might change as time goes on. I viewed Infinity War a bit more harshly last year than I eventually settled on, and I mellowed out more on Black Panther. The same could happen here. But having seen Avengers: Endgame twice in the opening weekend, I’m very pleased with the film and everything it had to offer. It’s not perfect, and I’ve got some nitpicks, but overall it was everything we could have wanted from the Infinity Saga finale.

Join me after the jump for my full review and thoughts on Avengers: Endgame. Be warned that this article contains FULL SPOILERS and assumes you’ve seen the movie.

Dread It. Run From It. Sonic the Hedgehog Trailer Still Arrives.

Oh man, this defies description. You’re just going to have to watch it for yourself and be amazed at the Sonic the Hedgehog live action trailer. Are people really still making movies that look this terrible in 2019?

I don’t even know where to start! The Sonic CGI is worse than we imaged when we saw those pictures. Doctor Robotnik is worse than we could have imagined. The human characters seem worse than we could have imagined. The humor is worse than we could have imagined.

Oh my God this looks terrible!

Deadwood Will Be My Avengers Palette-Cleanser

I’ve been posting mostly Avengers: Endgame stuff over the past few days, so let’s cut that out and watch a new trailer for the upcoming Deadwood movie. I’m still very surprised this is happening, but it looks pretty good!

There could be more trailers later today, if the rumors pan out. But we’ll see. For now, let us rejoice at more Al Swearengen in our lives! And considering how much I played Red Dead Redemption 2, I could use a little more cowboy turn of the century adventure in my life.

Captain America Animated – SPOILERS!

There are MAJOR SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame in the latest Tell It Animated video. Why the dude behind these videos thought spoiling the movie would be a good idea is beyond me. He definitely didn’t need to spoil anything to go over the history of Captain America costumes in cinema.

But since most of my readers have probably (hopefully) seen Avengers: Endgame, they can get away with watching this vid!

But seriously, if you haven’t seen the movie, don’t watch this delightfully animated video. He gives the whole game away. It’s ridiculous.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/27/19

Avengers: Endgame was great! I’m not even going to beat around the bush. It was great, it was fantastic, it was everything I could have wanted. It’s the real deal, a true grand finale. Go watch it!

Comics this week almost pale in comparison. Action Comics and Runaways are pretty fun, while Fantastic Four and Heroes in Crisis disappoint. And Comic Book of the Week goes to Mr & Mrs X!

Rogue Powers 01

Rogual Mojo

Meanwhile, X-Tremists is still the only comic I’m reading from Age of X-Man and it remains pretty darn good. At least when it comes to character development for the Blob, and now Psylocke, too! Honestly, I will consider Age of X-Man a win as a whole if this leads to a Blob renaissance.

Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1010, Fantastic Four #9, Heroes in Crisis #8, Mr. & Mrs. X #10 and Runaways #20.
