Connie, I don't think Steve did trigger his return - he just aged up naturally and showed up at the park. I think. Maybe. And yes, people reappearing after five years is definitely a huge problem. I've been ignoring it, but... wow, yes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't think the exact nature of the Desnappening was ever made clear. Depending on the amount of control Bruce had over it, he's smart and conscientious enough to put in a "Healthy and Safe" stipulation into his "wish", for lack of a better term.

Fun for those people who disappeared with fatal diseases!

Thor, on the other hand, totally wouldn't have had the forethought to not inadvertantly bring people back at 30,000 feet without a plane.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In terms of callbacks to other movies, someone on Tumblr tied together Bruce saying that he was made to use the Infinity Stones with the scene in the first Avengers where Tony says that Bruce shouldn't have survived the gamma radiation, and maybe Hulk saved his life, and Bruce asks "Saved it for what?"
To which I can only offer an admiring "Oh, fuck you guys" to the Endgame screenwriters.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Connie, for me it would take that long to grow out my hair.

Hey. New board.
I agree that the time travel is sloppy.
Giving Tony a happy middle so you don't feel too guilty killing him is all well and good, but the gap really is too long to work, narratively.
I will put this movie in the same category as Civil War for me. Super enjoyable and satisfying in lots of ways in the moment, but doesn't hold up for me. I won't be watching it again, I expect, the issues will loom too large.

I've seen it thrice now and there's value in the rewatch. I think Tony's thought on the snap was "bring them safely back" more than anything. Which, you know, space magic could and clearly did do that.

Hey. New board.
Oh I'm sure there is value. But I don't think it will be satisfying for me, is all.
3 hours is a lot of time, you know? I could watch 6 eps of The Good Place instead.
