Total flop. Can't believe they green-lit this.

With that cast, made me wonder what they each got just for this film.

Not sure, but RDJ makes back-end profits based on the box-office numbers. I believe he's been doing that at least since the first Avengers film, if not since the very beginning with Iron Man.

Re: Avengers: End Game

I'll probably be going on Tuesday to see it just wondering is there a post end credit scene or scenes? Thanks.

It's not worth staying for honestly. The audio speaks to something that's going to happen that you pretty much could already guess. They did show the Spider-Man trailer, however. Also, we started up a conversation with the family next to us who had an older elementary school aged daughter. Since I have pics in my phone of my collectors comics in case something happens to them, I showed her a few silver and bronze age books I have for the Avengers and Tales of Suspense... it was pretty cool to connect that way.

Box office update. Endgame is chasing Avatar twice right now. Obviously the big one is for the worldwide record. Currently as of the numbers posted this morning Endgame still sits behind Avatar's $2,776,345,279 with $2,485,499,739 so still a ways to go before they can overtake them there.

Meanwhile at the domestic box office, Endgame is officially in the top 3 films of all time and should pass up Avatar fairly soon.

1) The Force Awakens $936,662,225
2) Avatar $760,507,625
3) Endgame $723,499,739

I saw a video that talked about numbers for other movies. I think RDJ got $25M for civil war. Scarlett is getting $15M for her solo movie. Hemsworth and Evan's got $15M each for civil war I think.

Something like that

Okay, time to ask one of my other timeline questions I wanted to ask:

Doesn't the time stone control time differently from the quantum realm, where you can literally reverse time in and of itself within your own timeline? So much so, that he/she who holds the time stone can place themselves to a time of their choosing, be at any point in space during the matter, and consciously be aware of said effects? We've seen this in Doctor Strange and in Infinity War.

Okay, so assuming that is true... once they get the time stone, can't they, you know, reverse time to when Thanos was a baby, and kill him? Or do literally anything else that makes it different from their time travel that they used in Endgame??

Also, it seems that although Strange was captured at a critical point of Infinity War, he only once made mention about how he "might have to use it" before taking on Ebony Maw, but never once really does use it (except to look ahead at multiple simulated outcomes). I suppose he found the rest to be inevitable, but he really didn't do himself many favors at any point.

Re: Avengers: End Game

This is where any time travel stories get weird imo.... so not always a fan. I think Hulkabanner was explaining that going back and killing the evil baby wouldn't change anything because going back to the past is still part of your future, etc. etc. then it doesn't affect your timeline. This is where it's all funky and ultimately why I think time travel is just scifi crap.

Re: Avengers: End Game

It’s impossible to do a good “serious” time travel movie. Just way to many loopholes, and in this age of social media it’s even worse.

Loopers probably is the best I have seen.

Yeah, there's not that many time travel movies where the time travel part isn't a massive distraction. Looper was a great movie and fantastic story. Easily one of the better sci-fi movies of recent memory.

Re: Avengers: End Game

And the criticism for Looper was "how could he have narrated it"? But I enjoyed it.... great unique story and cast.

I think the point of that is that in the quantum realm, when you time travel any changes that you make means you will form a new timeline strand, so killing Baby Thanos won't affect your present because your past has already happened, but you will be changing some alternate you's future of course.

The time stone doesn't work this way, though. You go back in your own timeline and remain on that timeline. This was true in DS and IW, as I said earlier. So the time stone's time travel works differently (more in line with other films) than the quantum realm (their own version of it).

Anyway, yeah I liked Looper, but I can't remember much about its time travel logic. I've heard 12 Monkeys has relatively sound time travel logic, but I haven't seen that movie.

Re: Avengers: End Game

The running joke was A: EG was trying to debunk Back To The Future time travel principles. Can't stand the alternate universe stuff even when I was a collector. I thought Star Trek recently did it pretty well with Spock, however.

I don’t even remember the plot all that much, but I remember being blown away by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in that movie
