I thought the body movements changed to giant size were a great touch.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I haven't decided how I feel aboutThor calling Rocket "Rabbit".
Predictably, I loved that.
Although you have sideways convinced me thata vid of The Cure's Disintegration that's just characters getting mulched would be the greatest thing ever. I'm not right, I own that.
I love you. Have I mentioned that recently? I am so tempted to keep an eye on any fandom charity auctions so I could bid on a vidder JUST FOR THAT.

Aw, Atropa makin' me happy!
I loved Dinklage except whatever they did to the timbre of his voice was, for some reason, very distracting to me in an uncanny valley way. Something to brace myself for in my next viewing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Love Dinklage, love the vid idea, and OMG I love that term of art.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy CRAP. According to Joe Russo, Tom Holland improvised his death scene.

Brilliant.
Helllloooo, Marvel thread! I have never been here before. Skipped to a week ago because DH left the movie last night saying he had many questions and I advised him that this was the place to go.
Agree with so much of the above including love of the mathy jokes, Dinklage love, and the mulching, and of course, the baby Spidey!
My overall Marvel education level is limited compared to many so I was a bit overwhelmed with 'slow down, I gotta figure out who that is' moments. A pause button and/or closed captioning would be helpful. But mostly I followed that part well enough that I got over the fuzziness quickly. The character I am least familiar with from previous exposure may be Dr. Strange and I think I may need to explore there more before the next movie. Seems key.
Brief conclusions while I think about it more, yeah that was a lot of dead. Also, if Laura had been in charge instead of 90% battles and 10% witty banter and personality interactions there would have been 90% witty banter and personality interactions and 10% battles. It was like me trying to get through the endless war war and more war chapters in reading the worst book ever, GWTW. I am just not so much a wars and battles girl. Ypercentages!perceptionMV
DH loved it, but I left rather annoyed because of the above, and the blatant this shit obviously going to be undone factor. Which muted some of the horror and feels.
Now to click post and see if I have to edit my spoiler fonts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyway, it made me laugh out loud, as if RDJ and Stark were just one at this point.
They are though, right?
I'm more and more settling on being vaguely annoyed with the end. Because I feel like it's only OK if you're also seeing the meta, and then what's the point anyway. Because I would NOT be OK with all of those folks dying so unceremoniously (or at all, in some cases!) except for the fact that you know half of them have sequels coming anyway and that this is actually just Part 1. On the in-movie side, I guess it's Dr Strange giving up the stone so easily when he knew all the possibilities that does the same work.

That's what I like about it, though, that it's not ok. It's like Omar getting shot. But I do have the meta to fall back on, so I can rationally know that it must be going to be more okay than seems possible and that is, for me, quite pleasant.

Holy CRAP. According to Joe Russo, Tom Holland
I am so damn impressed with Spider-Baby.
I'm more and more settling on being vaguely annoyed with the end.
I remain underwhelmed, and I really didn't expect that to be my reaction.
