That looks really great.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.
So is Mysterio bullshitting or is he really a hero from another dimension? Comics history points to the former. Or is he telling the truth only to be replaced by the villainous version of himself from the prime universe.

No surprise I loved the living fuck out of Endgame.
But, yeah, there were problems. I remember thinking when they were assigning teams how in hell are Clint and Natasha going to deal with Vormir? Could no one warn them? And then it occurred to me that nobody knew that a sacrifice was necessary, Nebula only knew that Thanos and Gamora went there, but only Thanos came back. For all she knew, Gamora tried to kill Thanos and he killed her first.
And I've had problems with the Soul Stone since Infinity War. I don't care if the Red Skull says it 'has its own special wisdom', that's horseshit. Space, Time, Power, etc are all point and click, but this one requires special setup? Feh.

Mysterio is such a damn tool, I honestly can't tell.

Heh.
I do hope the MJ bit from the trailer isn't a fake out. (Though the fact that they put it in the trailer makes me suspicious it will be.)

Endgame explained by a writer who had not seen any of the previous films.
Bahahaha: "Johansson makes a quip about getting emails from a raccoon, making it suddenly clear that, oh, the fox character is actually a raccoon."
Also: "The crew meets up with Thor...You almost expect to see a bong or Funyuns somewhere." I'd just like to point out that a person doens't have to be a stoner to love Funyuns. #soapbox

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Miracleman, it seemed that the Reality Stone was sometimes capable of taking actions on its own (like merging with Jane Foster). It's ambiguous whether the Mind Stone acted of its own volition when it helped create Ultron's and then the Vision's minds, or if that was just a reaction to people poking it. But if any of the stones were going to be sapient and make value judgments, I think it would be the Soul Stone. Even in the comics, it seemed to have a mind of its own and do things without prompting from Adam Warlock, when the others only acted at their users' command.

Matt, I take your point in regard to the Mind and Reality Stones, and I can see what you're saying as far as the Soul Stone having some kind of value judgment, but I still feel it was jarring in the execution of that judgment. The Mind Stone was essentially a passive stone until it was merged with JARVIS and planted in Vision's body, the Aether...I don't really remember Thor 2, you got me beat on that one. It just felt like "We wanna kill somebody, probably Gamora, let's arbitrarily make the Soul Stone demand a sacrificial tribute to show worthiness."
