Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Clem, we're in the endgame now. We're past the endgame, and our lives have changed. I would say it's fair to say our lives have changed since the last time we spoke. I think they have. It was a life-changing movie.

It was the end of an era. We've put the bookend on the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe for the Infinity Saga, and we're on to new things. We're on to a new world. It's a completely new planet, not only in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but here on Earth right now, what you're listening to. This is my mom's basement where we talk about everything nerdy. We talk about everything MMA, wrestling, movies, music.

We talk about everything on this show. Obviously, today we're going to be talking about Avengers Endgame and I keep forgetting to tell people to do this and the podcast people said you should probably do that so go to iTunes, go to Spotify go to wherever you get podcasts and rate this podcast

5 stars hopefully and leave us a review I would appreciate it tremendously and it helps people find the show so tell your friends, that's fun. That's pretty much all the housekeeping I had to get out of the way. Oh, and I wanted to shout out Nick Hamilton, who makes all of the social assets. And this kid

is a savage. If you've seen on Twitter the little assets he makes for the show, the little promotions, the videos, they're friggin' awesome. And I just wanted to give him a shout out before we get started. When I saw the little comic book thing he had, he was jumping, I go, Robbie, who the fuck?

There's certain people in this company, let's just say most people in this company aren't even the people on the microphones that are the most talented. Like Triggs, my boy Triggs, he did our pictures for Endgame. Oh, yeah. Where I was Thanos and you were Cap. And there's just so many super talented people here, and Nick crushes it. Nick's one of them. So what we're going to do today is talk about Endgame.

Right now, there are no spoilers in this podcast but there will be heavy, heavy, heavy spoilers later on. We'll give you a quick warning before we do it. But if you haven't seen this movie, we're not out here to spoil it for you. This is more for the people that have seen it and just want to talk about it with us because, oh my god, there's so

much to talk about. We don't judge either because good luck getting a ticket to fucking Endgame. Yes. Every single theater is completely just sold out for days and months. It's crazy. So I've seen it three times at this point. We're recording this. It's 6 p.m. on Sunday.

I've seen it three times. I saw it on Thursday night, opening night, first screening. I saw it on Friday night, real late, like a 9.30 screening. And then I saw it last night at 10.30 because those were the only times where I could get one ticket, and it was literally one ticket that was available in the theater, not even like front row. It was like back corner where it's like, who's going to go to the movies alone on a Saturday night?

This guy. Because I cannot stop every second that I'm not watching Avengers Endgame. I want to be watching Avengers Endgame. So I just keep going back to the theater. And I went back to Jersey this weekend, and I felt just familiar with all the employees by the end of the weekend. Like, oh, hey, Jim, how are you? How's the kids? How was it this time, Bob?

Yeah. Yeah. I went twice. I got blessed by God himself for getting a ticket on Tuesday night. The screening I was supposed to go to. And then I went on Friday with my brother that I already bought tickets for. And I'm going to go a third time with my daughter and my wife in 3D on IMAX because I always want to do that. And I'm going to see it a fourth time in 4D because – and anyone who doesn't know 4D, look it up.

It's basically a Disney ride where it's like they blow stuff in your face. There's water. There's smells, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, if it's raining in the scene, it's raining in the theater. If it's misty, they put a little mist. And I'm not a guy who does that. The chair moves yeah i think when you're like in a spaceship i think i'm gonna have to hit up the 4d showing with you because i've never done that you have to do it yeah yeah i have to see it with you too because i mean i

wasn't a puddle by the end but i mean i'm sure we'll get into it there's a lot of motions oh my god we'll get into it and let me just say when i went on tuesday i didn't tell you the story i wanted to tell you i saw a guy who was this crazy dude from Long Island He was a kid And he was He goes did you guys see Endgame I was like yeah we just saw it it was fucking awesome He's like don't spoil it don't spoil it He goes I'm in the marathon He was one of the kids for that 55 hour 22 movie marathon

Oh wow It was like a break They had like a 20 minute break Just so you don't go stir crazy in there And he's like my neighbors next to me Because they're pretty much literally my neighbors They're literally the guy's neighbors for like two and a half days it's like they don't want to talk i had to go out i go go buy some weed he just bought weed from

me he's like you want to hit my pen i'm like no i'm good but i was like dude there's no other way i can say this other than the way you're seeing it this is the perfect way to see because you imagine going through all those movies and then that movie happening i was so happy for him and i hope i know he's i don't think he's a Barstool fan, but I hope wherever he is, he just was in a happy place, because this movie fucking, to, like you said, you always say nail the landing. What's the name of the Jawa vehicle?

Oh, the Sandcrawler. The Sandcrawler. They had to take that, that's the size of the Marvel franchise, and they had to basically turn on a dime and park it, parallel park it, and they fucking nailed it with room to pull out on both ends. They nailed it The Russo Brothers Unbelievable

Yeah So quick shout out In the very beginning Of this podcast One Stan Lee Stan the man For creating all of this

Huge shout out The biggest shout out We could possibly give Any human being On this planet That has ever lived The goat Stan Lee

Someone named Stan Lee And it's not like His name is Stan Lee Lee And it's not like his name is Stan Lee Lee. And it's like, yeah. He's so awesome you don't even think of that. That's how great of a person. And I have a. There's a lot of talk about Mr. Fantasy being about an Iron Man thing.

I think it's about fucking Stan Lee. He's Mr. Fantasy. He's the guy that brought us here. I think we should start this episode. Can you start this episode with Mr. Fantasy? Yeah. Let's start this episode with Mr. Fantasy. We can start this episode with Mr. Fantasy. We're using the start this episode with Mr. Fantasy. We can start this episode with Mr. Fantasy.

We're using the time stone. You guys heard Mr. Fantasy to start the episode. It's because we had to, I mean, I get goosebumps when I hear it. I got goosebumps when I heard the Asgardian distress call in Infinity War. That's kind of fucked up to like hear people's deaths. I know. I got goosebumps with Mr. Fantasy. That's like my favorite song in the world now.

Yeah. It's fantastic. Shout out Stan Lee. Shout out Kevin Feige, the godfather of this entire universe. And Jon Favreau for starting it all off. And, of course, the Russo brothers. They have created something

that is so special already, near and dear to both mine and Clem's hearts. That is Avengers Endgame. So real quick, before we get into spoiler territory, this movie made $1.2 billion this weekend, Clem. And not all of it was my money. I went a ton, but not all of it was my money.

A lot of people saw this movie. It broke the previous record, which was set by Infinity War, by $560 million. They damn near doubled it up. They almost doubled it. You say they doubled it up when we talked last podcast about how they doubled up the advance tickets of Infinity War, plus Last Jedi, plus Aquaman, plus Captain Marvel. They doubled all those advance tickets of Infinity War plus Last Jedi plus Aquaman plus Captain Marvel. They doubled all those. And we were like, how is that possible?

Those numbers seem wrong. The numbers apparently weren't wrong. Everyone on the planet went to go see this movie this weekend. We lived through the Vinny Chase Aquaman. We just lived through that in real life. That's what it was. It just broke every. I mean, not even the shattered.

He barely beat Spider-Man. This destroyed and destroyed every movie ever. It's already He barely beat Spider-Man. This destroyed. Destroyed every movie ever. It's already the 18th highest grossing movie of all time. It's been out for three days. And you're saying you're going, I'm going again. I know multiple people who I didn't even know were comic book fans. I just went three times this weekend. So this is going to shatter Avatar.

I think personally it's going to shatter Avatar. I hope it does, man. How amazing would it be if the highest grossing movie of all time is a superhero movie? That would be outrageous, man. How did Avatar even get that spot? I loved Avatar. It was very cool to see. We've all seen that movie a thousand

times. It's Pocahontas. You hear all that. It's basically that movie. Take them down, the Russos. Take them down. And James Cameron is such like a dick at this point. He's been a dick. He keeps attacking superhero movies and being like, superhero fatigue is kicking in. He shit on Aquaman for saying it wasn't realistic enough. He's like, yeah, Aquaman wasn't just, I felt like it wasn't real.

It's like, fuck you, James Cameron. You made Avatar. What the fuck are you talking about, man? Oh, sorry. There wasn't anything called unobtainium that really, you know, hammered. Like, dude, you, like, don't act like Avatar is a perfect movie. I mean, and listen, we're Oh, sorry. There wasn't anything called Unobtainium that really, you know, hammered it. Dude, don't act like Avatar is a perfect movie. And listen, we're pro-James Cameron.

James Cameron is a reason. There's a lot of mom's basements. A sci-fi god. Sci-fi god. But like, dude, you're on the wrong hill right now. You're dying on the wrong hill. You are dying on the wrong hill. So fuck off, James Cameron. I'm going to go to the movies as much as possible to try to inch this past the finish line that is $2.7 billion. No shout-out to James Cameron on this podcast. We shout-out everyone else. Not James Cameron. I'm going to go to the movies as much as possible to try to inch this past the finish line that

is $2.7 billion. No shout out James Cameron on this podcast. We shout out everyone else. Yeah, not James Cameron. Anti-shout out. Suck a dick, James Cameron. I texted Jeff D. Lowe of Lights, Camera, Barstool. I said, do you think this thing's going to beat Avatar?

Because in the beginning, I didn't think it could. And I texted him. I was like, bro, is this thing going to beat Avatar after this weekend? And he said he thinks $2.5 is going to be the mark. He thinks it's going to be 200 million away. Nerds, if you're out there, just keep going back. Come on. We could rally this.

Do it for the Avengers here. Do it for Stan Lee. Do it for the Russo brothers. Hashtag. They deserve this. Hashtag terminate Cameron. That'll be. Oh, wow.

I love that. I love that. This might be the number one anti-James Cameron. Other than Lights, Camera, Barstool, because they're also very anti-James Cameron. We're all, in this office, this Barstool office, fuck James Cameron. You want to come in? You want to do a feature review? You want to do a couple podcasts? We'll let it happen. But we're not fans of you right now.

If James Cameron ever came in the office, we would both melt like bombs. I would melt. I'd be like, oh my god, you made Terminator, didn't you? Oh, that's crazy, man. You're a legend. But there were a ton of other news stories to come out this week. So there was the woman hospitalized for uncontrollable crying. Now this was me. I was a woman hospitalized for uncontrollable crying this weekend.

Clem, I am here to say I have never cried more in any movie ever than I cried in Avengers Endgame. There were a few moments throughout the film, super emotional moments, where I'm tearing up in the theater. And we'll talk about those in a bit. I'm tearing up in the theater. Jeff is to the left of me. Fran is to the right of me. And I saw them kind of give me the glance like, oh, boy, Bob's crying already. And then by the time the end hit, I was crying so hard.

Fran said she thought I was going to hit one of those like, like one of those giant gasping breaths. I just couldn't stop. Even after the movie was over, the credits are rolling, and everyone's like, you all right, man? Like people's girlfriends are giving me their tissues, and I was getting, oh, my God, I was getting attacked on the Internet. Did you see for my crying?

Oh, I saw. And I was like, oh, my God. Guys, guess what? Every one of those tears was worthy of being cried because what a payoff, what an emotional movie. But even as we were walking out of the theater, me and Trent were getting a taxi home

and I think he was like, Bob's going to have to stop crying by the time we get in this taxi because I was just like, it was so beautiful. It was everything I wanted it to be after 10 years. Oh, I can't believe how beautiful it was. It was just such a well-made movie and everyone's like, it was so beautiful. It was everything I wanted it to be after 10 years. Oh, I can't believe how beautiful it was. It was just such a well-made movie. And, like, everyone's like, it's okay. It's okay, buddy.

You're going to make it through. The movie's over. You're going to go see it again. It's going to be great. But this woman was hospitalized, and I'm here to say I stand by her. When you go into the actual hospital, it's not like you go out and there's, like, a doctor checking you out. But, like, they throw you in. Like, an ambulance is not cheap. I was like, I hope that woman had insurance

because that is not a cheap ride. She just took just because some shit went down on that big screen. Shit went down, fucked some shit up. I have to admit this and I was we're going to go into this when we go through the thing. Tears were shed by me both times. I saw the movie and it's going to happen a lot more the third time and it's going to happen the fourth time. I get goosebumps just thinking about the movie and I came to the realization that I think, first of all Bob, you cry during fucking Star Wars trailers

I cry during everything, I'm a cry guy that's the thing, is this the first time people realize that about me because I've been very on record as a cry guy I'm a pussy, they're like man what a rough look for the MMA guy where have you guys been? I've been crying since I was an infant.

I've never stopped. Something happens, I cry. That's just how I express my emotions. I'm a sensitive dude. I'm an emotional guy. Ric Flair gets hit by a chair. He bleeds. You have tears come out of your eyes.

There's no real way around it. Yes, that's the perfect way to put it. My tears are like Ric Flair's blood without all the sexual transmitted diseases. Oh god, I never thought of that. Yo, you know people are like, yo, Ric's the main event tonight because I'm not going on that mat once he's done bleeding. Yeah. The other stories to come out of this week were all

spoiler related. So there was the man in Hong Kong who was shouting spoilers outside of a theater and he just got beat up. Someone just kicked the shit out of him. A group, I guess. I have never stood with someone more in my life than the group that beat outside of a theater, and he just got beat up. Someone just kicked the shit out of him. A group, I guess. I have never stood with someone more in my life than the group that beat me. Absolutely. I've never stood with an angry mob that beat someone up more than I stood with that mob.

It's just a dick move. I got people even still right now sliding into my DMs and saying the ending of Endgame as if I haven't seen it three times. They think they're spoiling it for me, and it's like, bro, what are you doing? Why are you trying to do that? That's such a dick move. I had someone do it to me right before I saw it the second time, as I was walking in the theater.

So if I hadn't gotten that ticket to Tuesday night, it would have gotten spoiled to me. And it was to just a random tweet I had. It wasn't like, you know. Yeah, that's what they do. They try to get you where you don't suspect it. And I'm trying to figure out the solution to this. I don't know of actually being able to beat someone up, but it's kind of like the paper bag with beer.

There should be something you should be allowed to do to people that get spoilers. Yeah. Or, like, what's going too far? Like, I can't wish death on someone. I can. I wish death on them. I definitely. But it's frowned upon, right?

Yeah, you can't say it on Twitter anymore. They'll suspend you for that, which is tough. I want them to stub their toe every day. That sent me spoilers, and I wanted to respond with a very simple five words. I just wanted to say, I want you to die. That was what my response... That's what I wanted to say, but I didn't want to get suspended

from Twitter this weekend, Clem. So I didn't. I just stayed away from it. And the other massive spoiler story to come out of this week is LaShawn McCoy. Now, at this point in the podcast, if you haven't seen Endgame, turn the podcast off. We're going to give you a second to do it. We'll see you on the other side. We'll see you on the other side.

Go see Endgame. Go enjoy it without getting anything spoiled for you. It's definitely the best way to see it. And then come back because we have to talk about what LaShawn McCoy actually said. This guy went on Twitter. Again, spoilers from this point forward. You heard that snap? If you're not out by now, this is your fault.

Sean McCoy went on Twitter hours after this movie was released and just said, RIP my dog Tony Stark. And with EY for Tony. Yes, he spelled Tony incorrectly, which means if you had Tony Stark muted on Twitter, you were seeing that. Yeah, Bob had 8,000 words, which I if you had Tony Stark muted on Twitter, you were seeing that. Yeah. Bob had 8,000 words, which I ended up muting as well because I'm a crazy person about this stuff.

And I would have gotten spoiled by someone retweeting that onto my timeline. It's crazy that you can think you have it all figured out. You have the three. I know. Nope. And then he just tweets it. He just tweets it. And then he follows it up with the worst day ever.

Me and Lil Shady are hurt. They killed Iron Man. Take Captain America instead. Sad face emojis. So that's a double spoiler now. You know Captain America makes it out of the movie. You know Iron Man does not make it out of the movie. And then, after the internet completely revolts against him,

like I've never seen before, the internet was 100% in agreement. Fuck LaShawn McCoy. Well, most of the internet. There were a few people that were like, it's just a fucking kids movie, dude. Get over it. It's objectively funny from the outside looking. It's objectively funny.

He follows it up with this video, Clem. An unbelievable, I thought it was going to be like, guys, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize. My bad. Hand up. The caption guys, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize. My bad. Hand up. The caption says, I'm done with it. Take Captain America instead. RIP Tony Stark.

And here's the video. But why'd they kill Iron Man though? He's the best one. He's smart, intelligent, cool. He's rich and everything. I'm done with Avengers. It wasn't him because he knew... No, it was him.

It was him. Yes, it was. Why'd they kill him, though? Because he knew that Captain Marvel wouldn't take it. Why'd they kill Captain America? He's like 100 years old. He's corny. Like, get rid of him, shiz.

I'm just gonna be quiet. Why, get rid of him, shiz. Why you going to be crying? Nah, man, I'm done with it. I'm over it. I'm done with it. Unbelievable. Unbelievable follow-up to the internet revolting against you to just double down and be like, I can't believe they killed Iron Man.

And then when Thanos, he's just spoiling it for anyone who doesn't. Because, like, Twitter, you don't know the previous tweets. Like, oh, LeSean McCoy tweeted out a video. Yes. That's what he has to say. It's a little shady. As someone that is a Giants fan that hates LeSean McCoy more than almost any player not named LeSean Jackson. What team does this guy play for? The Bills?

He's on the Bills now. Fuck the Bills. The Bills, there is, like, whispers that the Bills may cut him, like, because, you know, salary, he's getting old. Like, if the Bills, if they're like, all right, we're officially done with you now. This was a bridge too far. See you later, Shady. It should be. I said Roger Goodell has to kick him out of the league.

Kick LaShawn McCoy out of the NFL. You can't. He's got four games for deflating football. That's what I said. And this guy spoils endgame. He gets nothing. Aaron Hernandez gets a lifetime for murder, and this guy gets nothing. Technically never been suspended, as our boys at Port-au-Mathake like to say all the time but then the page of the patriots did something if you're the bills

you gotta cut him if you're the league you gotta suspend him this is an outrageous move it's is it objectively funny yes not funny for the people that got it spoiled but just the manner in which he spoiled it just with an rip my dog tony stark that very funny. And as someone that was really into this down later in the podcast, but as a team Stark team Iron Man guy, and as someone that thought Captain America was corny, we do not stand with LeSean McCoy. We are very much against. We are not happy with the ending, the way it all panned out. We're happy with how it all went.

But I hate to see my dog Tony Stark go, too. But you cannot do that. Can't do that. Oh, I'm rebuked him. This is a podfather thing. We cannot do that. Can't do that. Oh, I rebuked him. This is a podfather's thing. We bring it over to my mom's basement. The first ever rebuke on my mom's basement. Is that all right?

Can I join in on the rebuke? I would be honored. Actually, you officially rebuke him. Oh, wow. Ladies and gentlemen, I have to announce LaShawn McCoy has been rebuked in the name of the Lord. He's out. He's out. Kick him off the tour, dog. Kick him off the tour, Doug.

Kick him off the tour. Clem, you ready to talk about Endgame? You ready to talk about every last detail of Endgame? As I was writing in my notes during the second viewing, I have never been ready. I had it under my jacket. I had my phone under my jacket and my head with the brightness all the way down so I didn't disturb anyone else. Other than people who were like, what the fuck is that guy doing in his jacket? Is he beating off the fucking, you know, Professor Hulk?

So let's talk about it. The movie begins with a cold open. Something that we actually predicted. We thought we would see this. It's Hawkeye with his family teaching his one daughter how to shoot a bow and arrow at a target. He actually calls her Hawkeye, which I thought was so awesome. Isn't that gruesome? Yeah, so awesome.

He turns around. He has a quick conversation with his family. He turns back around, and we just see dust fading away. And every time I saw this in the theater, the theater had an audible like, oh, no. Like everyone grabbing their hearts. Turns back around. His whole family is gone. And the Marvel Studios logo hits the screen.

That's how this movie starts, and it sets the tone early that this is going to be a heavy ride. Dear Mr. Fantasy. That starts going. So good. I don't know if we mentioned it on the last pod, but I think we all knew he becomes Ronan Pryde because his family is gone. And literally, even if he just had his son, he probably sticks around in his fucking cornball Hawkeye that we all know and hate. I won't speak for everyone here, but I personally do not care for Hawkeye. And as soon as I saw that

I was like, alright, I fuck with Hawkeye and I was like, as a parent, this movie really fucked me up as a parent. I'm not lying. There's things I cry for. I never thought in a million years and there's actually another scene that really fucked me up even more than anything that I'm gonna cry during this podcast. That's a prediction right now.

I might too. We might just have to cry together in this podcast room. Someone's going to walk in and be like, what the fuck were they talking about in there? What are these assholes doing in here? Yeah. After that, you get Tony Stark and Nebula playing paper football together with like an aluminum foil paper, which I thought was cool and spacey, you know? And this actually is cool foreshadowing because later on in the movie, Tony Stark has to flick Ant-Man off his shoulder perfectly.

And I was like, man, this is that that's crazy. Like on the second watch, he realized stuff like that. And Tony Stark records the message to Pepper that we see in the trailers is probably the most used piece of promotional material for this movie. It took up the majority of the time in the trailers, which I love because everything in the trailers is pretty much in the first few minutes of this movie. And this was super emotional for me, even though I'd seen it like this got me a little lump in the throat. When you're watching Tony Stark, you know, he's not going to die, but he thinks he's going to die.

It's like, God damn, he's kind of accepting death in this moment. And shout out to Robert Downey Jr. Because I didn't notice it in the in the thing in the in the preview in the trailer. He's skinny as shit. I'm like, oh, he went fucking Bale on us. He went Christian Bale on us. Probably a little CGI, I think, worked in with that. But he was phenomenal in this scene, and specifically the next scene.

So Captain Marvel comes and rescues him. I'm very happy it was Captain Marvel and not Pepper. The rumors were that Pepper, as Rescue, was going to somehow navigate space and get to him, and that would have been a little far-fetched for me. And for someone that saw the Captain Marvel post-credits in the movie, I understood what was going on. It does suck that some people are like, what the fuck's going on? I expected to see that in Endgame.

I thought that was a scene straight from Endgame. And I'm sure they filmed it when they were filming Endgame. But I was like, okay, so we're supposed to, okay, that happened already. Okay, we're good. If you saw this movie without seeing all the movies and didn't at least do a little 20-minute recap on YouTube or something like that,

that's some of the stuff you're going to miss. So yeah, she rescues him, which is cool. And Nebula wins, which I think means something, is the way she actually wins. Her and Gamora are always in competition. Tony shakesbula wins, which I think means something, is the way she actually wins. She was always, her and Gamora are always in competition. Tony shakes her hand, and I think she realized, like, the dad she was always trying to please kinda is an asshole and fucks

some shit up for a lot of good people out there. Yeah, there's better people in the world to align yourself with. And Tony Stark is definitely one of them. They return to Earth. The first person Captain America sees is the first person Iron Man sees is Captain America. And they kinda they kinda Man sees is Captain America and they kind of they kind of hug and embrace

in this oh my god what has just happened way and the first thing Tony says is he's just like I lost the kid and he's got this the performance he's got is so good like Robert Downey Jr. should win a fucking Oscar for this movie and I'm not even fucking around like he was that good

this was the best I've ever seen him in one of these movies I was blown away by him he was just like I lost the kid and he reunites with Pepper he finds out that Pepper's alive right then and there which is crazy to think like you don't think about that like he doesn't know if she's alive she doesn't know if he got snapped like you don't know where all your loved ones

are he even says in the message he's like I really hope you're still around he's like please God still be you're still around. He's like, please God, still be around. And then we cut to the team meeting in the Avengers headquarters, kind of going over what happened. Thor is still super distraught over not going for the head.

He's sitting, sulking in his own misery, and they get into a big disagreement because the Scovia Accords come back up, and the breakup of the Avengers comes back up. And Iron Man is like, hey, remember I told you this was going to happen and then it happened and we weren't prepared for it because we were split up. He's like, what the fuck, man? And he walks right up to Captain America and he calls him a liar.

He takes his arc reactor off and he's like, if he comes back, you put this on and you hide. You liar. And it was super like I felt like i was watching my parents fight i said where it was like oh man this is like uncomfortable to watch i don't want to see this you know when we're in the movie hearing that uh argument the first time what happens you know back in uh ultron you're like we're gonna lose together it's like oh that's right it's like no this is what happens when you lose shit isn't fucking good when you lose fucking half though you i mean i don't think anyone's like oh half the universe is going to disappear from the world.

But that's exactly what happened. And as Team Tony, I was like, fuck that boy up, Tony. My dog Tony Stark was barking, and he was telling some truth. And I'm projecting right now. I'm not getting mad at Captain America. And this movie made me a bigger Captain America fan than I ever thought I'd be. And I, again, the dude jumped on a grenade. We went very hard into that.

But he fucked that up big time. But you know what? We're not here to judge. It's in the past. It's in the past. There was a lot of mistakes made. I think as Rocket Raccoon says, there's a lot of that to go around. And Tony Stark has a phenomenal line. When Rocket Raccoon first opens his mouth, he's like, until this very second, I thought you were a Build-A-Bear.

Oh, that killed. Killed! Killed! So Tony collapses after he yells at Steve and the rest of the team, and they put him down, and Captain Marvel's like, all right, time to go. We're going to go after Thanos. Nebula reveals where he is. She says, when Thanos' plan was going to be completed,

he always wanted to go to the gardens. He always wanted to retire. Don Cheadle is War Machine. He's like, okay, he has a retirement plan. That's kind of cute. That was it, too. And they look at this kind of planetarium-type space diagram that reveals the energy signals that were created in the snap

were created once again two days ago on this gardening planet. They go right up to that planet. Steve Rogers says, let's go get this son of a bitch. The title card hits. I was like, I am so ready to get this son of a bitch. But as soon as they go up, I'm like, this is going to go really poorly for them because we're 10 minutes into this movie and there's just no way that it's going to go anything but poorly for them. They go into it.

It looks like the beginning of Shrek, to be quite honest with you, where I was expecting All-Star by Smash Mouth to kick in. And they just run up on him and cut his fucking head off, Clem. In the first 10 minutes of the movie, they run up on him and cut his fucking head off Clem in the first 10 minutes of the movie they run up on Thanos immediately detain him Thor chops his hand off they see that there's no infinity stones

in the gauntlet anymore he reveals he used the stones to destroy the stones because they would be nothing more than temptation at that point and his plan was already complete so Thor just fucking cuts his head off and we get two-faced Thanos

so we know he got fucked up from destroying the stones and the snap too and his arm is like fried and he's not even using his arm it's like skinny it looks like my fucking arm it's disgusting and yo I gotta say it's so funny like seeing a movie like this and you're like you don't know how your brain works

I'm like Thanos has like undershirts and like underwear it's the big and titan store is there a store I'm like, Thanos has undershirts and underwear. I was like, where did he buy these? The Big and Titan store? Yeah. Is there a store? Is that why he went after the whole universe? Because when his planet got destroyed, he couldn't buy clothes anymore? I think it was only on his planet they had the Big and Titan store.

He just was like, I'm going to snap away all the other fucking big fucks. He's like, this is bullshit because I now have one outfit. I have to do laundry all the time. I'm going to eliminate half the universe. Yeah. Crazy scene. How stunned were you when they cut his head off? Because, so I was stunned.

He was armed. I was shocked. Yes. Agreed. I was stunned with the arm. I was stunned with the head. And it took me like a solid two minutes after they did that of stunned silence to realize, oh yeah, we're going back in time in this movie. So they're going to go back in time and have to battle Thanos again.

But there was a moment there where I was like, is the movie over? What's going on? Please don't turn the lights back on because I hope the movie's still going. Imagine if they did the credits and then the next two and a half hours was just a post-credits scene because that's what we've been living out with Marvel anyway. That would actually be a nice little way to troll us. It actually had a little bit of Star Wars too too, where you have the arms getting cut off. Yeah.

There was a lot of Star Wars in this movie, I felt. There were a few scenes where I was like, man, the roosters are paying tribute to Star Wars here. Yeah. I mean, it's absolutely shocking. And when Thanos says he blows up the stones, I think everyone's like, bullshit, Thanos. And then Nebula says, like, my father's never been a liar. Like, that's the one thing we've learned throughout these universes. Yeah.

Thanos is a fucking Boy Scout. He's fucking, you know, never told a lie. He chopped down that cherry tree. He's fucking copped to it and everything. And the gasps were there. And then when it hits you with five years later, it's like there's gasps on top of gasps. And we were like, that's when you realize, like, the Russos have us on a, it's like being on a roller coaster. You're like, I was not ready for this roller coaster.

If you thought you were ready for Endgame, you weren't. You weren't. You just weren't. Because you go five years later, you realize the. You weren't. You just weren't because you go five years later, you realize the universe has been living in a post-Snap world for five years, which is insane. And Captain America's running a support group. He's got Joe Russo, the director. He's got, like, a decent amount of dialogue,

which I thought was really cool. Whenever directors put themselves in the movies, I'm a huge fan of that, like a Tarantino-type deal. And he earned it. Like, the Russo's could have just been like, oh yeah, by the way, we're Thor and Hulk now. Be like, yeah, you guys earned it. You guys can do whatever you want.

The first directors to ever put out three separate $1 billion movies. And so deserving of that honor. So fucking deserving. I'm so happy for them. Well, let me just say this. He says the Mets are gone. Can you imagine our boy KFC if the Mets were out of his life?

He would be the happiest little man in the entire world. He actually mentioned that to me. He said it was the most unrealistic part about the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe that anyone would miss the Mets. Can I come clean here? I've been thinking about this for a while and I wanted to tell you something. I went into your last podcast and I've been saying it for

a year how I love Thanos and he's one of my favorite movie characters ever. After seeing the results of the snap after seeing five years and people knowing what world would the snap was not thought out all the way people would know that they were missing their loved ones and the world just basically turns into chaos I imagine

other planets were just as shitty shape as worthless I was wrong Tony Stark's daughter is so fucking cute and we know how this all ends up yeah I will uh I feel like the person that joined ISIS and then when I went into ISIS I was like oh ISIS is bad like they're not as like I don't I'm pure anti-ISIS have been from day one that's a hell of a soundbite to put out there I feel like when I joined ISIS I didn't realize the plan was going

to be so bad and uh I I never end up getting a gauntlet and I never I was going to be so bad. And I never ended up getting a gauntlet. And I never, I was going to get a coffee mug of the gauntlet. Yeah. I am now, I do not feel comfortable with that gauntlet. Because it really did some very bad things. And Thanos, remember I was like, what if the world is better after this map? The world was not better. The world was not better.

It looked like something out of The Walking Dead. Everything was overrun, overgrown. It was a rough-looking world. It was rough. Like, New York City looked shitty. Yeah. New York City looked shittier than usual. That's how you know it's bad.

So we cut to San Francisco. We see Ant-Man come out of the Quantum Realm truck because a rat crawled on the board and clicked some button. And at first, I was like, man, that's really convenient. But when you think about it, it's the one out of 14 million scenarios in which the rat did that so and you kind of have to let it slide because dr strength looked through them all and that there was one you know and that rat he shout out to that rat in like mvp voting for like the nba you can get like first place the rackets my fifth place vote for the movie yeah that fucking rat came through so when i watch the second i'm like yo that rat is the most important thing in this movie, you could say.

So shout out to that rat. I hope that rat lives a luxurious life for the rest of his entire existence. We just shadowed out a San Francisco rat and anti-shadowed out James Cameron on this podcast. You don't know what the fuck's going on. We're all over the place. He comes – he actually reunites with his daughter in like a beautiful scene where it was kind of heartbreaking too because she's aged five years and he was not there for that almost in like an interstellar type way and this got me full-on crying when they reunited i turned to fran i said this is like watching one of those soldier comes home videos where it's like they haven't seen each other for five years

she's a bigger person he's been gone for five hours doesn't know what the fuck's going on but just missed out on five years of his daughter's life. And he goes to the Avengers HQ where Natasha was meeting with a few of the Avengers members via hologram. Captain Marvel has her comic book haircut. I loved that. I thought Brie Larson pulled it off very well, by the way. Brie Larson, what is going on? What's up?

And War Machine reveals that Clint Hawkeye is a murdering fiend right now, and he's just leaving cartels and gangs with, like, bloody scenes, which I thought was awesome. Captain Marvel drops the bomb that she's going to be gone for a while to take care of thousands of other planets. She's like, you're not going to see me for a long time. You're like, all right, see you in the third act battle scene, Captain Marvel. We need you most.

Yeah, and Ant-Man shows up, and like, all right, see you in the third act battle scene, Captain Marvel. Yeah, exactly. We need you most. Yeah. And Ant-Man shows up, and this is the scene we've seen in the trailer where he's like, hey, remember me from Germany, the airport? I have a time machine. He shows up, and Captain America even makes the joke. He's like, you talking about a time machine here? And he's like, no, it's more like a, yeah, it's a time machine. And I love Paul Rudd.

Paul Rudd is so perfect for the Ant-Man role of the human being that loves being associated with superheroes and geeks out every time he gets to work with them. Because he just comes off like a fan of Captain America the entire movie. I love it so much. He's the guy that... Because he keeps bringing up, remember the airport? And he's the guy that keeps remembering the one time he hung out with the Star-Card-Maker. Remember that time?

Yeah. He's the... I'm going to go into a Can't Hardly Wait reference, so I won't even do that. He's just the kind of guy, and he pulls it off. A guy like Ammon, who I really wasn't like. Him and Hawkeye were two guys like, oh, they're going to save it. I think I compared Andy Dalton to Hawkeye. I feel bad about this.

I have a lot of apologies to make. I have a lot of people to make it up to. At least you're apologizing. You're a strong man. Hand up from clem thanos actually bad hawkeye actually good turns out superheroes are good they're our friends so antman basically just explains listen we go to the quantum realm time works differently there i think we could figure it out and they said we need someone very smart to figure this out they go to tony

stark who's living a nice life like in a cabin by the lake and they reveal that tony stark is now a father this scene kind of wrecked me in a way where i was like please don't end the way i think this is gonna end because you just gave tony stark the cutest fucking daughter i've ever seen in my entire life and she's wearing like a rescue helmet and he makes the joke he's like what where did you find this she's like the garage he's like that's all right mom never wears anything that i get her anyway and it winds up the end of the movie her wearing it? She's like, the garage. He's like, that's all right. Mom never wears anything that I get her anyway. And it winds up the end of the movie, her wearing it. And it's like, oh, they tied up every single loose end possible. They show up and they're like, listen, we would love to travel through time.

We would love to go back in time. Will you help us out? And he says, absolutely not. I've got my second chance. It's right here. It's this family. That daughter is the perfect level of cute, too. Like, she's not super, super cute where it's, like, almost comical.

And it's not like, ah, whatever, like, the daughter on Friday Night Lights, the TV show where it looks like an alien. She is the perfect level of cute. When he says, and this is where I was like, it's hooking to me as a father. I wouldn't have cared about this scene nearly as much if I wasn't a dad. When I saw her and she says, shit, and he's like, wait, that's your mom's word. I love this scene so much. That is such a thing that you would do with your wife if she fucked up and said something in front of your daughter you shouldn't have said. And then when she says, I love you 3,000, my daughter tells me, my poor bet, that she loves me 1,000.

And I was like, they had me. And I was like, oh, Tony Stark's big dead. He's big dead. He's fucked. Oh, my God. That's so brutal. and I was like they had me and I was like oh Tony Stark's big dead he's big dead he's fucked oh my god that's so brutal every scene that Tony Stark was in that Robert Downey Jr.

was in with this little girl he was so good and just portrayed that like perfect dad that cares about his daughter more than anything in the world where the I love you 3000 scene

and the scene where he figures out time travel skipping ahead a little bit but he he does some tests after the Avengers leave for the time heist as as they were calling it. Time heist.

Awesome. Love that one. And he figures it out, and he just falls back into his chair. And he's a man that just discovered time travel. A man whose original enemy was like a terrorist, and now he just found out time travel to go after this intergalactic, most powerful alien of all time. And he just goes, shit! And his daughter says, shit! And he's like, no, no. And she says, what are you doing up?

And he's like, well, I'm working on some important shit. So funny. And they get juice pops. She says, I love you, 3000. And the Avengers, who are unaware that he discovered this, go after Bruce Banner, because they said, we need a big brain. They go after Bruce Banner.

This is my favorite comedic scene in the entire movie, this diner scene, where they're sitting there with now Professor Hulk. It's the brain and the brawn combined. I love that they did this. And Mark Ruffalo, this is like, it felt like he finally came into his own. And he was perfect as the Hulk before, don't get me wrong,

but this movie felt like he was more comfortable in the role than he ever had been. And I don't know if it was the mo-cap, I don't know what it was, thecap. I don't know what it was. The entire exchange where the kids come over to take a picture with him. And he's like, say green. He's got the giant bowl of eggs in front of him. And then Ant-Man's like, hey, I'm Ant-Man.

You want to take a picture? And he's like, take the picture. He wants to take the picture. He'd be upset if you didn't take the picture. And Ant-Man's just like, take the goddamn phone. So fucking funny. I was crying in the theater. Crying tears of joy right after they wrecked me

with that Tony Stark daughter scene. And they start to do tests. So they send time through Scott Lang instead of sending Scott Lang through time. And they make him a child. They make him an old person. They make him a baby. They finally get him back.

And Hulk is so funny in this scene, too, where he's just like, time travel. We did it. That big smile. Everyone's like, what are you talking about? You almost just killed him. You almost just made him a baby. And when they make him a baby, he just says, he'll grow.

He'll grow. And they're like, get him back. I peed myself. I don't know if it was baby me, old me, or me me. Yes. So funny. And then Tony shows up to the Avengers headquarters. He has that awesome, like, Audi car, and he comes speeding around the corner,

and he gives Captain America a shield back and tells him, listen, I figured it out. I figured out time travel. I got this space-time GPS on my wrist. Let's get the whole team back together. I also love how Tony knew that. He's like, you sent him through time, didn't you? You sent time through him. Tony knew they were going to fuck up because he's fucking Tony Stark. He's like you sent him through time didn't you You sent time through him like Tony knew

They were going to fuck up because he's fucking Tony Stark He's the smartest god damn man in the universe And he gives him the shield which I mean I'm sure he's got the shield since Civil War And I'm like oh my god he's got the shield back Let's go Captain America's back I also was like how much did Audi spend That was the first I was Darren Revelle's broken brain

I'm like how much did Audi spend in this fucking movie I know and they had a couple of cars Robert Downey Jr. rolled up to the red carpet in that exact car, too. Did he really? Which is such a pimp move. Just so awesome. And they start to assemble the rest of the team. So they go after Thor first, who's living in New Asgard.

We meet up with Valkyrie, who, happy to see her alive. Tessa Thompson is awesome in that role. And then we find out that Thor is a fat slob who's just been a drunk since the Thanos snap. And this was a stunning, stunning realization. He's hanging with my boy Korg and Meek. I was so happy to see Korg. I was so happy for you. You're the first person I thought of when I saw that scene.

I was like, oh, Thor looks like me. And Robbie has his boy back. And that fucking voice is, He called me a dickhead though He was happy just dying What was the gamer tag of the guy Noobmaster69 And he calls him a dickhead I wish he said ass

He said I'm going to shove it up your butt I wish he said ass I understand we have kids here It's a kids movie and all that stuff I will say this I think the Thor gags got a little They ran their course They went a beat too long.

The cheese whizzed through your veins. They did. Or the stuff where it's like when Thor is in – we'll go to when he's describing the reality stone. I was like, all right, I've had enough. However, what a twist. And it really kind of like – it takes Thor being a super-duper-duper impossible god to kill, takes that off the table now, which kind of leads to everything else that breaks. Yes. So my only real gripe with Endgame is that Fat

Thor ran its course for me. And the Avengers' last stand, like the last time we're seeing the original six together, the last time we're seeing this massive battle, everyone going back-to-back and fighting for each other, seeing Fat Thor with everyone was a bit jarring. And I thought they set themselves up for an out in this movie

with the first Scott Lang time travel test. I thought they were going to, before they go into the quantum realm and go on their mission to get the stones back, I thought they were going to be like, hold on, and send time through Thor to get skinny Infinity War Thor back. Go work out, Thor. So the entire time I was like, okay, they're gonna get him back through that.

They kept him fat the entire movie. Even at the end of the movie, he was still just a fat Thor. He looked pretty cool when the lightning ran through him at the end,

and he had a braided beard and a cool ponytail. He looked like a fat Viking, which I loved, but at the same, and the more I watch it, the more I'm like, okay, I'm okay with it,

but it took balls for them to be like, how about this? The Avenger we just built up the most in Ragnarok and Infinity War, he's a fat guy. The entire movie, he's just a fat guy. He looks like the big Lebowski. I left Infinity War with Thor as my favorite – not even superhero, my favorite thing ever created by the end of it. That scene is my favorite scene from Infinity War. So the fact that they kind of reverse it – but again, I think they kind of had to do that because you have to kind of take. That's why Hulk wasn't Hulk in Infinity War.

You have to take him off the table or else it would have been harder for Thanos to win. And they're keeping things fresh. Credit to them. They're staying as unpredictable as humanly possible. After this, they finally get him by tempting him with beer on the ship. Korg, by the way, perfect scene for Korg. I got everything I wanted out of him. Didn't need him to be a focal point.

Just needed a few laughs from him. And I laughed every time he opened his mouth. He didn't get snapped, which I think we were both really concerned he might have gotten snapped. Him, not me. It's amazing. I will say the Lebowski joke landed. Both Lebowski jokes.

He's a Lebowski joke. And then he's wearing like the sweater. Yeah. And I was like, that was like, that was the fat Thor jokes I needed. We got a little too far, though. That was all good. So Natasha goes after Hawkeye, who is now Ronan. And this is one of my favorite actual shots in the movie because it's basically all a one-shot.

It's done as a one-shot. There might have been CGI to stitch a few things together. But it's done as a samurai-style one-shot in the rainy, empty streets of Tokyo where we just see Ronan fucking things up like he's the Punisher with a sword. Like he is murdering people and it's explanation for why he's doing so is he's like you survived the snap my family didn't and you don't deserve to live anymore. And it's kind of brutal like he slices that dude up and then kind of drives the sword through the top of his skull I think we're led to believe. Natasha convinces him to come back very quickly. But yikes.

I was like, are we watching a Tarantino movie? It felt like it was like, we just got shit jumping. I was like, we're going to have a cartoon at some point in this movie. And I love it. I love that they kind of kept you on your heels. It's like we were at Thanos' head and arm get chopped off. I don't know what's coming next in a five-year gap. So I like the way that, and again, as a guy who was not exactly the biggest Hawkeye fan back in the day,

I was kind of like, this guy Ronan, I fuck with him. Yeah. So at this point, we're getting to one of my favorite things. So the third time I went into the theater, I told Clem I had a stopwatch on my phone. I had the brightness all the way down, sat in the back, and had a stopwatch going. Because I wanted to see, it felt like with the first two times I watched it that this was a perfect three-act structure, not in just beginning, middle, and end, but in that it almost changes movie per hour. It felt like a different tone.

It felt like an easy transition from tone to tone. But at this point, Hulk explains how they're going to travel through time to the viewers, and Hawkeye goes on his first time travel test. That is at the exact 60-minute mark in the movie. 60 minutes into the movie, you get the fallout of the snap, you get the reassembling of the Avengers, and then at this point forward, we're in a time heist movie. It's straight-up time travel, it's straight-up heist,

like Ocean's Eleven style, and they decide, okay, we could go back in time, if we get all the stones before Thanos got them from different timelines, we could do this without fucking up our future because their explanation for it. So this is one of the main questions I got. People are saying, how does the time travel work? I'll do my best to explain it here. You could help me out.

Basically, if you go back in time, you can open an alternate universe by doing that, they're saying. They're saying it's not going to change who you are now. So if you go back in time and kill yourself, your past self, you're opening an alternate reality where you died on that day, but you're still alive. So they're kind of throwing the butterfly effect out the window. And they're saying the butterfly exists, but in someone else's reality, not ours. So that's kind of what they're going for. Does that sound right to you? Yep, and we don't care about the people in that reality.

Let them live however it's going to go. And they kind of do in the movie because they say at the end, we want to return all the stones to where they were before we stole them so we don't fuck up. But there is now one reality that has been thrown askew from the Battle of New York. So they split up into teams. It's Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Ant-Man going back to the Battle of New York that we saw in the first Avengers movie. It is Ronan and Natasha going after the Soul Stone. It's Nebula and War Machine going after the Power Stone.

And then it's Rocket Raccoon and Thor going after the Reality Stone. They all split up and go back to all of the old movies, which is the perfect storyline to set up fan service, perfect storyline to set up nostalgia porn. It was just like basically a victory lap on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was their love song to everything that, because this is the wrap-up. That stuff is basically, you know, the ink will be dry and it'll probably never get touched again other than maybe Loki going into the space.

I could see that getting brought back up at some point, but yeah. I think that completely sets up his Disney Plus show. I think that's what they were doing with Loki stealing the Tesseract in one of the universes set up. So in the Battle of New York, they basically watched the entire battle take place which is cool they watch the circle up happen which we talked about last week how cool the circle up was

and Hulk to blend in starts smashing things like gratuitously he's like boom! He's like I think this is gratuitous I don't like this anymore. He goes after the time stone and meets up with the Ancient One on top of—

Didn't see that coming. Did not see that coming on top of the Sanctum Sanctorum. And she says, he's like, I'm looking for Doctor Strange. She says, you're about five years too early. He's performing surgery about 20 blocks east. He eventually gets the Time Stone, convinces her. She does that punch where Bruce Banner comes out of the Hulk's body. I love the Ancient One.

And the animation is so cool when that happens. Like,uce banner comes out of the hulk's body and the animation is so cool when that happens like he the soul comes out of his body she eventually convinces her to give it to him though because he's like why why would dr strange give it up and she realizes there had to be a reason he gave it up he's the strongest of us all yes so she gives it to him on the flip side captain america ant-, and Iron Man are going after the Mind Stone and the Tesseract, which is the Space Stone. They get to watch the ending of the Avengers where they're all kind of standing over Loki about to arrest him. They watch it happen. Iron Man makes a great joke where he's like, Cap, that suit did nothing for your ass.

And Ant-Man's like, in my mind, that's America's ass, sir. They go after Iron Man. Both Tony Stark and Ant-Man go like, in my mind, that's America's ass, sir. They go after Iron Man. Both Tony Stark and Ant-Man go after the past Iron Man. Captain America goes after the Loki Pokey Stick, as Kevin Smith calls it. And we get an elevator scene with my boy Cap, which you know I was geeking out for. Because we talked the elevator scene last time. When he boards that elevator, I was like, oh, my God. It was almost shot for shot, too, because that was a Russo Brothers movie.

That was their first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So he boards that elevator, and he's like, I just got a call from the secretary. I'm going to be running protocol on this staff, whatever it is. Use the Loki Pokey stick. Yes. And they're like, this is weird. Cap, is everything okay? And he says, everything is all right.

Leans in and says, Hail Hydra. And I just lost my mind. He walks out of that elevator with the entire case, and everyone there in that universe now thinks Captain America is part of Hydra. Holy shit, what a moment. I have chills on my arm right now. It was so awesome. And he runs into, as if the moment couldn't get any better

on his way out, he runs into the past version of himself who thinks he's Loki in disguise. And we get to watch Captain America fight Captain America in like a very comic book-y, one was wearing the mask, one wasn't, so we know which one is which. Like almost a Mortal Kombat thing when you pick the same guy and they do different colors

or like a slight variation. Red headband Ryu versus blue headband Ryu. Yes. So they fight and it is awesome. He, the present day Captain America gets knocked down real quick and past guy, he says, I could do this all day. He's like, yeah, I know. I know.

I love, he's basically Buzz Lightyear when he's fresh out of the box. Yeah. It's like, oh, the hard-o's back. Yes. I have this fucking numbskull here. And that, that's what, that's the Captain America. Fresh out of the 40s. Yeah, exactly.

It's like, oh, he's such a fucking idiot, hard-o. I don't. And the fact that Captain America was Captain America is probably like the 10th best part of this movie. It just shows how great this movie is. I know. Like, people are not coming out of this movie talking about Captain America fighting Captain America in an awesome fight scene. Because there's too much other shit to talk about. That's incredible.

And I love that. Like, when you ever see Cap versus Cap, it would be like Loki as Captain America. Or it wouldn't be the real thing, but it's two of the real things. It's so, and the way he gets him to stop fighting is brilliant. He uses the stick, and he also says, he spoils it for him. He fucking spoils the Winter Soldier for past Captain America. Dude, are you kidding me? You can't spoil this.

It's the Sean McCoy shit. He just says, Bucky is alive. And he was like, what? And he just hits him with the stick, puts him out, and looks down at him, his past self, and he says, that is America's ass. And my theater erupted. Like all three times, people just go crazy for that line. On the flip side, to get the Tesseract, Ant-Man is flicked onto the past Tony Stark's arc reactor, and he pulls a plug on it right as they're being stopped by the secretary to basically give Tony Stark a heart attack.

And they call over the medic. Ant-Man kicks the briefcase over to Tony Stark, and as soon as he's going to leave with it, the Hulk bursts through the door. They told him to take the stairs. He didn't like the stairs, and he ruined the entire plan by taking the stairs. Little word of advice to anyone out there.

If you have a big friend, as the big friend usually in most people's... Don't tell us to take the stairs. We're the one guy that needs the elevator. You fucking assholes can take the stairs. We have to hear the beep when it's over. Weight limit. Everyone we know is looking at us. Just let us take the fucking elevator. Let the Hulk take the elevator at the very least. Especially Stark. Stark doesn't have

two elevators. The Hulk couldn't have gotten another elevator. They ruined the whole plan because the Tesseract comes out of the briefcase. Tony Stark is being tended to for his heart attack, and Loki just escapes with the Tesseract. He does the kind of teleportation we saw Thanos do at the end of Infinity War where he just kind of opens a portal, goes into it. That sets up his Disney Plus show.

Loki is now alive in an alternate universe of the MCU. Basically, the end of the Avengers is now kind of different, which I think is very cool. I love that with their time travel, they weren't like, the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe now didn't happen. We fucked everything up with it. Like, pretty much everything remained except this. Yeah, and I love how it wasn't, everyone didn't go back and everything ran smooth. This was the one real, you know, wrench in the plans. And shout out my boy.

I mean, I really grew to love Loki over the years. Shout out to him for escaping at the end, even though it was nothing. It was just because Hulk was pissed. Like, the fact he saw it and, like, Loki see, Loki do, and he just went and he dissed it. And I was like, man, I'm going to miss that motherfucker, even though I didn't think he would be back in a show or whatever.

So shout out to Loki, man. I love you, dude. And this is another moment that got a huge crowd reaction in all three of my showings, where as soon as Loki escapes with it, everyone's out to Loki, man. I love you, dude. And this is another moment that got a huge crowd reaction in all three of my showings where as soon as Loki escapes with it, everyone's like, oh, oh,

we were right there. We were right there. What happened? This is like the fifth major curveball of the movie that's like an hour and a half old. Your brain can't take this shit.

So they decide they got no more Pym Particles left. They have to go to a place in time where the Tesseract and Pym Particles might have been at the same time. Tony Stark says he

might have known a place in New Jersey. I love seeing New Jersey get a shot at this movie. In 1970, and while they're working on that, we see War Machine and Nebula confront Star-Lord. Not even really confront him, they just knock him the fuck out.

Now this scene did doozy for me. This is my daughter's favorite scene in the world. This is the first time she saw Guardians and he's singing. They have the little rats that they're kicking all over the place. I love how you get to see it from the outside where you hear the off key singing and everything. You don't get to hear the come and get your love.

As soon as they land and you see one of those little rat things, you have to be like, oh my god. This couldn't get any better. I didn't know if we were going to see Ronan's henchmen come or whatever like that, and I loved exactly how they did it. I loved exactly how they did it. I was fine without having to see too much. So it's right about here in the movie where we see Thanos.

We see past Thanos for the first time. Because Nebula from the past is revealed, and so is Gamora. They're both under Thanos at this point, and he's in search of the Infinity Stones. He has none of them at this point. And he's in search of the Infinity Stones. He has none of them at this point. And I don't know if you feel the same way, but this is one of the main takeaways I had from this movie

is that past Thanos is a hell of a lot scarier than the Thanos we saw in Infinity War. He was younger. He was not as experienced. He was more of a genocidal, unpredictable kind of lunatic. And when past Nebula malfunctions and shows him that Nebula is now part of the Avengers, that his plan worked, and that they sliced his head off after it did, and now they're coming back to undo what he did, it put a little poop in my stomach. Just thinking of like, oh man, he's not going to be happy about that. He's going to be really upset. Oh, you guys chopped my head off. I don't like – I like my head attached to my shoulders.

Yeah, I have to say like – I felt like he was so much like – he was like horrifying in this movie to me. This is when I started being like, yeah, this guy is actually a bad guy. And I don't know. Like he seemed way more calculated and, you know, in this movie he's very, like, he's got, like, a helicopter blade that he's just slicing fuckers up with. In the last one, it seemed like he didn't want to kill anybody. He killed Iron Man when he put up a fight, tried to kill Iron Man when he stabbed him. But everyone else, he had no intention of killing. He had nothing against Earth.

He had nothing against the Avengers. He was just like, this is my plan and I'm going to execute it. Please don't get in the way. I do my sports analogies that not everyone may get. But it's Michael Jordan as a young guy just dunking and just fucking athletic freak. By fadeaway jumper

Michael Jordan was what Thanos was by Infinity War. He was smarter. He was older. The guy never gets everything himself. He just sends other people to do his duties. I love that we got a little Ebony Maw as well. I wrote down my boy, Ebony is back! I thought he was underused in Infinity War. It was like

when he died in Infinity War, I was like, oh damn, I kind of wanted to see. He's enjoyable every time he's on screen. He's just a very intriguing character. The way he talks, like I hang on every word he says. He says in this scene, he says, your daughter is a traitor.

And I was just like, oh, man, I'm hanging on every word you say, Ebony Maw. You're the coolest. Those CGI fingers, too. The way he, like, just makes it all work, even when he's using his wizardry. How powerful he is in Infinity War in that scene on Bleeker Street where the big Hulk-looking guy gets thrown at him and he kind of just whips him to the side. Like it's nothing so i love getting to see a little more ebony maw this is when shit kicks into motion for the good guys versus the bad guys and i also love that infinity war was a thanos movie through and through and endgame was an avengers movie through and through

where thanos wasn't in it that much at all and i was And I couldn't be a bigger fan of that. I was actually wondering, I was like, are we going to get, especially when he dies in the beginning, but even before the movie, I was like, is there going to be maybe some old villains come back and we're fighting those villains for some reason? I thought we might have had that as well. But they didn't need that. Shout out Crossbones, though, in that elevator scene.

Yeah, yeah. That was really cool to see. I was like, I think out loud in the theater, it was just like, holy fuck, I didn't expect to see you here. Back in 1970, we get Tony Stark and... We get our Stan Lee cameo to start it. Yes. And what is it, Make Peace Not War,

which is a great final way. I love that his last words were that, and I love that his last, that's his last movie. I think it might be, yeah, and he's all de-aged. It actually, he might be in Far From Home. He might have filmed that already. I personally, I mean, I have no say in this. I would rather it end with Endgame

because it feels like it's going to be the most beloved movie probably when it's all said and done, and he's the reason everything before that. He was the guy who built this ship but i mean i don't know i feel like i would love if they did almost an into the spider-verse thing where this isn't really spoiler i know you still haven't seen it i i watched it the other night oh you did i was finally saw it because you can imagine okay so did you love it it was awesome so they put him in the background of a few shots of that movie like when miles morales is laying in the street and he's like

thanks a lot new york stanley steps over him Morales is laying in the street and he's like, thanks a lot, New York. Stan Lee steps over him. And Stan Lee's on the subway at one point. I would almost like if they threw in little Stan Lee things in the background of shots. Not give him the full dialogue cameos that he's had, but if you just threw a CGI, make it look exactly like Stan

and throw him in the background of things or put a little Stan Lee on The Vanished if you wanted to do that, like Stan Lee or something. Like a hidden Mickey at Disney. As soon as Scott Lang was looking at the memorial for all those that were Vanished, I was like, God damn, it would be so cool to have my name in that. Like, if you're a crew member that is responsible for props, I'm like, I'm putting me and all my friends' names on this Vanishing thing. Was Stan Lee on there?

He could have been. No, he wasn't, but I don't think he was. That would have been fucked up, actually, considering what happened after the movie wrapped. I think Stan would have liked it. I think he would have liked it. This scene, this entire sequence, really, was the most heisty in that they were, like,

sneaking around where they weren't supposed to be in disguises, and it was so goddamn emotional because Tony Stark runs into Howard Stark. Tony's loose pops Stark And it's like Holy shit He's super flustered by it He tells him his name is Howard Potts And they start talking about

Being parents And Tony kind of gives his dad advice on being a parent Because in that universe Howard Stark is expecting Tony Tony's mom is pregnant with him He measures the belly because he doesn't know Because he's so obsessed with trying to make the world a better place without worrying about his own personal world. Yes. And he has this fucking fantastic quote that is so meaningful by the end of the movie.

Tony Stark says, I have a girl. And he says, a girl would be nice. And he said, why do you say that? And he said, so they wouldn't turn out exactly like me. And he said, what would be the biggest issue about that? And he said, the greater good rarely outweighed my own self-interest. And, you know, the greater good does outweigh his own self-interest by the end of the movie, which was like a beautiful, beautiful way to foreshadow that.

And Tony actually hugs Howard in like a very funny moment, but very like kind of nice moment and Howard's like what because this random dude just hugged me and he's like thank you for all you do for our country and you see his driver is Jarvis which is so awesome and apparently that guy is from Agent Carter the television show so it's the first actual inclusion of someone

from the television show in a Marvel movie which I found very cool. I've never watched any of the Marvel TV shows, but for those that were paying attention and consuming every piece of Marvel content, it's amazing that they got to be like, yes, it paid off. Now, was that the same voice as Jarvis?

Do they have the same? I'm not sure. I don't know if it has the same voice. I'm not sure. It sounded exactly like it. I got to shout this out too, Bob. You're home state New Jersey. That Jersey fucking compound

again we're gonna go some sports analogies here it's the 2012 oklahoma city thunder you have james harden russell westbrook kevin durant or it's the 1990 giants coaching staff bill parcells bill belichick tom coughlin you have romeo cornell you have all these guys who like become big names and it's like hank pimp howard stark uh peggy carter uh dr zola right i think you mentioned so it's like you had all these guys it's always funny to see how like these people all cross paths in their own way and granted this is a fucking fictional way but i was like wow that place just was fucking the brains on that place right if you noticed barstool sports you know what i mean in the scene where we see hank pimp and he's dh michael douglas again which

freaks me out every time it's insane that they could do it as well as they do it. That's not makeup. That's CGI. I'm convinced of this. Yes, 100%. Disney's spending billions on basically Michael Douglas. They have to be. We see the original Ant-Man helmet from the comics.

It was so cool. It looked exactly like it did in the comic books. It looked so goofy, which I love, too. For the 1970s, though, it worked. It worked really well. Captain America sees sees peggy he goes in her office he goes so close to that window i was like bro you got to be careful here we're on a time heist yes but they referenced peggy so much that i started thinking the theory from last week that he's not going to die but he's going to go live out the rest of his life with peggy carter i was like i'm starting to really believe that's

what they're going to do here because they they had him looking at the locket twice before that even happened and he told somebody in the movie as well I forget who he was just like I met the woman I loved or he says it in the support group he's like I met the woman I loved in 45 and I hit the ice right afterwards so I was like man they're really they're really gonna do it to me they're really gonna send me into puddle territory and I was like my boy Tony's just wrapping everything up it's kind of like we don't know what's gonna happen in game of thrones battle of winterfell but it's like a lot of character arcs are being wrapped up and that's tony's is all coming buttoned up and it's like caps still has some stuff to go there and tony gets just such nice closure with his father in that moment where he hugs him and he says

everything's gonna be all right howard and then on the flip side, in Asgard, Thor gets closure with his mother finally. Because Thor – I saw someone post that this is not an original thought from Reddit, but they said Thor was so anti his parents for a while and kind of just – he was a hardened shell. He didn't open up as much, and he lost his mother, and he didn't really start to open up until ragnarok and infinity war and become a kind of a different person so he got to go back in time and get that closure with his mother on unfortunately the day she passed away going back to thor the dark world and i love when he lays out the plan in the beginning he's like my grandfather had to shy away all the dark elves oh scary, scary. And how Scott Lang, Paul Rudd just plays it so,

he's so entertained. And the rest of the Avengers are like, Jesus Christ, this guy is a hot mess. And Paul Rudd is just like, go on, go on, this is interesting. Bob and Aether. So we see Natalie Portman, Jane in the MCU,

did not expect to see her. We see her for a second, literally. Our girlfriend was like, did you hear Natalie Portman was on the red carpet? I was like, oh, yeah, there was some beef between her and Marvel back in the day. There was. She was not the biggest fan. They did fuck up the Thor franchise.

Let's be honest. In the beginning, they fucked it up pretty bad. And I'm a big Dark World defender, so I was super stoked to see it utilized here. I feel like that was my Agent Carter where I was like, fuck yeah. I stood by it for years for this moment thor gets closure with his mother who i i loved her knowing that he was from the future immediately from the future yeah i fucking got chris hemsworth i i hope people are giving him the chops he deserves for having an amazing comedic timing yes and he's just such a funny actor he's going to be in the new jay and silent movie, actually. Oh, wow.

And Kevin Smith was his guest at the red carpet, which, like, if you're Kevin Smith, you've got to be head over heels in love with Chris Hemsworth. He had a boner the entire time he was there. So they have a really nice moment where she doesn't even want to know. He goes to tell her, like, you're going to die today, and she doesn't want to know. She just is like, hey,

you're here to repair your future, not mine. Get out of here. Rocket Wreck wreck gets the serum or the reality stone from jane and as he's running away and one of the asgardians is like get that rabbit i love that part i love so great if you guys rewatch it you miss it the first time my brother pointed out to me i go oh my god they did call him a rabbit yeah all the asgardians are the same in that in. And Thor, by the way, okay, the most relatable scene in the entire MCU happens on Asgard here. Right when they're about to do it and Thor's like, I don't know if I can do it, man. I think I'm having a panic attack. I was like, yes!

We all are, dude. I'm Thor! I'm Thor in this moment. All the time. I was like, that's me. This is the most relatable scene in the history of the MCU. Thor's having a panic attack. I was like, that's me. This is the most relatable scene in the history of the MCU. Thor's having a panic attack. I can't believe it.

So right before they go back to our time, Thor says, hold on one second. And he summons Mjolnir. And this is so frigging awesome because it's like, he's back. And Thor's so elated that he's still worthy. His face is just like, he's like, I'm still worthy. After all this time, like after I missed Thanos, after I got fat, after I became a drunk, after I started New Asgard, after everything, I'm still worthy.

It's so awesome. He brings the hammer back, and then we go to Vormir for the first scene that got me to really cry in this movie where Hawkeye and Natasha, Black Widow, journey to the top of that scary-ass mountain. They confront Red Skull, who, of course, leads them to the Soul Stone. And as the viewer, we all know what's happening here. We know one of them is leaving there with the Soul Stone,

and the other one is not leaving there. I have to say, too, I like the way that they built this up with, A, Ant-Man being like, no dibs. Yes. Not it. And then Hawkeye saying, you know, if this wasn't what we're doing, this would be so fucking cool right now. Because the planet is pretty awesome, and then you Yes. Not it. And then Hawkeye saying, you know, if this wasn't, you know,

what we're doing, this would be so fucking cool right now. Because the planet is pretty awesome and then you go up on it. The planet is gorgeous. The way the sun is like eclipsed kind of and the mountain, the whole way it is. Vormir is one of the coolest planets

in the MCU for my money. Agreed. Agreed. And this is coming from someone that didn't like Black Widow or Hawkeye going in. The way that they made this scene, I couldn't have cared more about two people

than I did at this moment. I know. And when Last Jedi came out and I said how it kind of ruined some of the old Star Wars for me because where all those characters go and they end up, this actually did the reverse where now when I rewatch old Marvel movies, I'm like, I fuck with Hawkeye and Black Widow now because of that scene. It's really crazy

how that works and fucks with your brain. But, I mean, I'm sure you can get into the scene. It was incredible. Yeah, so they go back and forth for a while where Red Skull lays out the terms on how to get the Soul Stone. You sacrifice a soul for a soul, and it's unreversible. I paid attention a few times because on one watch I was like, I'm not fully convinced Natasha's gone. And on the third watch I was like, she is gone as a motherfucker. She could not be more gone because he says it's irreversible.

It lasts for an eternity, all of that. And they argue over who gets to sacrifice themselves because Hawkeye wants to save Black Widow. Black Widow wants to save Hawkeye. They're best friends. They're holding hands. And Hawkeye says, listen best friends. They're holding hands. And Hawkeye says, listen, you know what I've become. The past five years hasn't

been good. And Natasha says, well, this is all I've wanted to do for five years. Hawkeye says, it's going to be me. Tell my family I love them. She says, tell them yourself. And kind of tases him and restrains him for a second. Goes to dive off. He shoots an arrow. Shoots her. They go back and forth a hundred times to the

point where I was like, you guys can't do this to me. My heart can't take what's happening right now. Eventually, Natasha is the one to sacrifice herself. And I cried. And I like Black Widow, and I always have. But I was never the biggest Black Widow person. I didn't think I would cry when she died. But I was also so shocked that it was her and not him. I thought this was his out. And I did not expect her to die halfway through the movie, almost in the same way that Gamora died. Not in that it was literally the same way, but I didn't expect Gamora to die the way she did in Infinity War,

and that was Black Widow in this movie. I like that they had blood in it too this time, where you can see some blood in it, where I don't think you really see what Gamora should. That was a little brutal. That was a little brutal. She also has red hair, so you're not sure if it's her hair. I'm not sure her hair was dyed red.

Oh, and maybe a hot take. I think the redhead hombre she had going for her in this movie might have been her best look ever. All right. I was losing it over Black Widow in this movie. I got confused because I was like, well, Hawkeye has to get his family back, and that's going to be the thing. But she did learn her father's name, which she didn't know. So I could see that had been her. And she didn't have a family.

Yes. So it was kind of. I think it was easier to let her go, right? Yes. Now, this is my question to you. Does Red Skull get to leave that fucking mountain now? Because he's like, dude, I don't want to be here anymore. And the Soul Stone is gone.

I don't think he does. Yeah. I mean, I feel like his soul is just stuck there no matter what. But he's probably just like, I want to know how many people have gone up there, too. And he's just like, no one. They just leave. They're not going to jump off the edge I can't say I want Red Skull to leave

because he's a fucking dickhead but that would suck up there we're anti-Nazi on this we're anti-Nazi and we're anti-James Cameron so they all return at that point except for Nebula who has been replaced with past Nebula past Nebula comes back into the future

she is decked out in the future Nebula's kind of orange. Another Mortal Kombat type. There's an orange variation of Nebula that we know is the future Nebula that past Nebula steals. So she comes into the future with them, and they have all the stones. They did it, and they're all very happy, but it's bittersweet because Hawkeye immediately drops to his knees and he's crying. They're kind of just like, I can't believe we lost Nat. And while they're doing that, Tony Stark is assembling the Stark Gauntlet, which is the most Fire Flames Gauntlet I've ever seen in my life. Fuck the Infinity Gauntlet.

Everyone got all the Infinity Gauntlet merchandise, the toys, the mug, like you said. I'm going all in on Stark Gauntlet merchandise because that was the undoing snap. That was the snap that killed that motherfucker Thanos. I love this Stark Gauntlet. They put it together and they start to have a discussion about who's going to get to have the honor, who's going to get to snap. Thor

immediately steps up and kind of drunk Thor in a comedic way is like, let me do it. I killed him, didn't I? I want to kill him. Let me do it I killed him didn't I I want to kill him let me do it and Hulk says I have to do it you saw what it did to Thanos I'm the only one strong enough because the radiation is mostly gamma so he might not

have him true he might have just said that like none of these fucking idiots other than Iron Man's gonna call me out on him Tony's probably like yeah cool dude you do it not me I have a kid yeah so he picks up the glove and there was a moment there where I was like that's way too small for you I was like the fuck is he gonna do with you. I was like, what the fuck is he going to do with that glove? And it widens and it gets way bigger. Maybe, I mean, it was a great move, clearly, because the Hulk is able to snap now.

Maybe have a lock on it afterwards or something where it can't get any bigger, so Thanos couldn't put it on. Or a frontal lock or something. Yeah, I don't know. But he puts it on and they say listen, you're not undoing anything but the snap. Bring everyone back. They

batten down the hatches. All the shit comes down. The armor around Avengers HQ. Everyone puts their gear on and Nebula, while this is all happening, brings Thanos' ship and army back from 2014 into our current world, which is such an oh fuck moment when that ship comes in and you're like, oh my god.

Hulk snaps and it works. And Clint immediately gets a phone call from his wife. He goes, he picks it up, Ant-Man looks out the window. He's like, guys, we did it. It fries the shit out of the Hulk. His arm looks like Thanos' arm did in the beginning of the movie. And by the way, I think this is the case.

The gauntlet was a lefty and the Stark gauntlet was a righty. Oh, yeah. I thought that was interesting. I was like, oh, they switched hands. As someone who's a righty, kind of take pride in that. Good guys are right-handed. I'm a righty in everything except writing. Isn't that weird? That is weird. I write with my left hand.

Everything else in my life I do with my right hand. I have a buddy who shoots shotgun righty but shoots a bow and arrow lefty. And I'm like, how does that even work? That's bananas. I want to take bow and arrow lessons after this movie, by the way. After watching Hawkeye shoot those bows, I was like, god damn. I would love to take some archery lessons. They're getting a bump after this for sure.

Absolutely. So he snaps, and then as the Hulk looks up, you just get missiles raining down on the Avengers headquarters, and they blow that shit to pieces. Another Gats moment where the entire thing is like, what the fuck's going on, guys? And this, I found very interesting as well, happens at the two-hour, one-minute mark. Wow. This movie, I thought it was segmented into three hours. It's almost structured like if you had a three episode season of the final season of The Avengers

and you had three one hour episodes. That's how it felt to me almost because we got an entire, like I said, fallout reunion, then we got the time heist, and then we get the battle of the century, the eternity. What do you call it? Yeah.

I don't even know what we can call it. It's the greatest battle I've ever seen in my life. We got the battle of Winterfell tonight. I was looking forward to this battle so much. At this point, I'm like, guess what? Jon Snow's not going to wield Mjolnir, so the battle of Winterfell doesn't really have shit on this battle. It's like, well, Ned Stark might come back, I guess.

I don't know. You know, we may have to. I don't want to spoil Game of Thrones for him, but yeah. Game of Thrones hasn't even come out yet. By the time this is out, we haven't. Game of Thrones will have been out, and we haven't even seen it yet, so you're good. We have this hanging over. There's people who said they were going to do Endgame and then go right into the Battle of Winterfell.

They're going to see it at 5 p.m. It's the only reason I didn't see it tonight, because was like i don't have i don't have the emotional uh the emotional strength for that our boy thanos coming off the ship when he just sits down and like has him go get it he's like the five there's another client fucking he's the five star you know prospect who's like number one in the world but he's like he just doesn't have the motor if thanos actually went out and took care of business himself he probably would have fucking won this battle But he's just sending henchmen Especially right away when everyone is You know all what the fuck just happened to us

They're all woozy and shit like that So there was I think Ant-Man And Rocket Raccoon War Machine They're all stuck under Avengers 8 headquarters Drowning because there's like a water main break I thought someone was dead at this I thought we lost like two or three people just from the rain of fire.

So did I. And we have Hawkeye with the gauntlet trying to kind of escape with the gauntlet because he doesn't know what's happening. And Thanos' Chitauri are coming after him. Super scary in the dark. Nebula grabs it from him. He's like, oh, hey, I know you. She takes it and immediately starts bringing it to Thanos

where new Nebula and Gamora from the past, who is immediately turned, which is, I love that Gamora from the past, they took her from right about when she was going to turn on Thanos. So it's very believable that she did. She already had the seeds planted by Guardians of the Galaxy.

So them taking her from that movie, I like. I agree, and I'm with you on that because she basically, during all of Guardians one. She's like, I'm done with Thanos. I want to help him to then, you know, basically betray him. That's the whole point of the orb in the movie. The whole I will say, like, what am I? I don't want to call it a gripe, but like the way Nebula is a very fascinating character and she's very layered.

But like that she was so important to this kind of drove me crazy because she always seems like she she like you think she's on thanos's side and guardians one but then she also she tells ronan i want to kill my dad so the fact that she would then go full but she's also always looking for her dad's attention or her dad's you know approval yeah so like i i i'm willing to just let that go but i don't know like i i did have a problem with nebula side of things but she plays such a big role in the comic that's why that's why i have a problem with Nebula's side of things, but she plays such a big role in the comic. That's why I love it. That's why I have no problem with her because she's so important, and she's actually just a snap, right?

She's the one who gets the call from him. So I'm more than willing to overlook that. And I fucking love Guardians. I love Nebula. Nebula, by the way, she's the girl who plays the redhead in the new Jumanji. Yeah, we mentioned that last week. Oh, we did, yeah, because I'm in love with her, which I mentioned last week. Oh, I'm super in love with her.

She's like 6'1", I think. Maybe 6'5", 11. She's super tall. I'm on the record of loving tall girls as well, so shout out, Wifey. Please don't listen to this. Nebula from the future

shoots Nebula from the past, or maybe Gamora does it. Nebula from the past dies in this scene. I think Nebula gets Nebula because I think at that point, Gamora's still in like, I don't want to hurt my sister.

They're in that end of Reservoir Dogs, you know, standoff. Nebula from the past dies and then we get Nebula, Gamora teaming up with Clint. And the original three, the Trinity, if you will, Iron Man, Captain America, and Fat Thor go to standoff with Thanos. Thor summons Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. That was so sick. And he gets this braided beard. He gets the ponytail like we mentioned. He's got his full costume.

He looks a little better fat in his costume with the braided beard with everything. He'll look a little Bray Wyatt-y if you're a wrestling fan. Lightning does a body good. We'll just say that. It does. It does. When you put the armor on, the gut is hidden a little bit.

It was a good look for Thor. And they go right after him. They have a little conversation with him where Thanos basically explains, hey, thank you guys because you guys showed me you'll never be grateful. And I need to wipe this whole universe and start clean. And he says, nobody will ever know because I think Captain America says, it'll be a universe born from blood. And he said, and you won't be around to tell him that.

And it's such a like, oh, man, if you thought the snap was bad, what he wants to do now is even worse. He's going to gut Earth, too. He's going to enjoy killing it. Yes. And he says, it's never been personal until now. I'm going to enjoy this. Which was actually my favorite part of Infinity War Thanos is that it never seemed personal. It was just strictly business.

Yes. I always appreciated it, which is why I was a fan of Thanos. And I love that about Infinity War War and I love that they flipped it for this because it takes away all of that. There were so many people saying, well, he's got a point. It takes that away completely where you're like, alright, this guy's a genocidal lunatic

and we need to kill him. He's a problem. At this point, I'm like, kill him straight out of Dumb and Dumber. He keeps saying, I am inevitable. I feel like that was just like, everyone has like catchphrases they say during their lives or just phrases.

He was in his inevitable phrase, like, dude, I like the Destiny one more. They're going to put that on t-shirts for decades to come. I am inevitable with Thanos and his gauntlet. So they start fighting him.

It's an amazing fight scene from the very start where Thor is using his lightning to power Iron Man's ion charges and Iron Man's shooting him. They're double teaming him. Captain America's throwing a shield again. Love to see him throw that motherfucker like it's can jam. And eventually, Clem, the moment that I've wanted to happen for so many years happens.

When everyone gets overpowered, he knocks Iron Man off of him, he knocks Thor off of him, he knocks Captain America off of him, he goes after Thor, and he turns Stormbreaker on him kind of like a knife. I think he actually Thor summons Stormbreaker, and Thanos catches it. Someone said to me, how is

Thanos able to hold it? You don't have to be worthy to hold Stormbreaker. It's an awesome weapon, but that, you know, Mjolnir is the worthiness one. So that answers that question. And he's about to cut Thor's head, or he's about to kind of slice through Thor's chest, actually. It was almost, I like how it was a callback. Yes, it was like a mirrored shot to how Thor almost killed Thanos at the end of Infinity War. He's about to slice him.

And then a scene exactly like the scene out of The Force Awakens where something is summoned for Rey in The Force Awakens. It's the Skywalker saber. But Mjolnir is summoned. It rips towards Thor and Thanos.

It pauses in midair. And it goes right the fuck back into Steve Rogers' hands. And at this point, Clem, in the theater, I think I blacked out. My limbs were flailing in the air. I was flailing. I didn't know what to do. And I jumped up onto my seat on the first night we saw it.

I had no control over this. People were like, how rude is that? First of all, we were in the last row in the entire theater. So I wasn't blocking anybody's view. But I literally had a moment where I jumped in midair I'm doing it now for Clem so you can see and I was standing

like this on my movie theater seat like standing upright on my movie theater seat just losing my mind. I was looking around and like Frankie Borelli and Loud Sean

and Rhea and Fran and Trent and Chuck everyone we were with Ken Jack was just looking at, and they were all watching me during this scene because everyone knew.

I've been talking about Captain America wielding Mjolnir for as long as I've worked at Barstool, basically. So they all knew this was my moment, yes. And it looked exactly like that fucking picture. That was a spoiler, whoever made that. And he doesn't even, he doesn't just wield Mjolnir. He fucks Thanos up with it.

He starts hitting uppercuts. He starts summoning lightning down with it. He throws a shield in the air, hits it like it's a baseball bat. It was unbelievable. This was everything I've ever wanted to see in a movie happening, taking place in front of my eyes. You had to know at this point in the theater when you were watching it for the first time, you had to know after recording the podcast with me, like, all right, Robbie's going to like this movie

more than he's liked anything in his life. I was like, that's my guy. That's my guy right there. And it's fucked up that, like, during the movie, I'm just thinking, like, this is Robbie's part. There's, like, five different parts. I'm like, Robbie's going crazy. Like, the hell hydrant.

And then this was like, I mean, that was it. This is Robbie's life, basically. He starts fucking this guy up. And I've watched it three times now, like I've repeated over and over on this podcast. And it gets better every time because he just the uppercuts, the hooks, the lightning summoning when he brings the lightning down on him. Everything about it was perfect. And it was perfect in every way. It's flawless. It was the most flawless scene I've ever seen. Well, actually, no, because it gets better as it goes on. Because he fights him for a while, eventually he's overpowered,

and Thanos, using his helicopter-type blade, destroys his shield, breaks it in half. I actually had a gripe with this at first, because I thought Thanos' weapon was, I mean, it was cool, but I was like, I feel like Thanos should have the Thanos of weapons. But then when it does the Captain America shield, I'm like, all right, that thing's pretty badass. I'm ready not to say, the thing's pretty bad ass. Like I'll do some,

I'm really, I'm ready not to say it stinks as a weapon, but I was, I was wanting more, but it's like, what are you gonna have? Like a lightsaber? Like when you beat the shit out of Cappy's shield,

that that's a legit weapon. Yeah. So he, he pretty much cracks the entire thing in half. And this is the scene we see in the trailer where Captain America just laces that thing back up. He tightens it and picks up the hammer and he starts walking and we see a very last Jedi like shot where Luke is facing down the first order but instead it's Captain America facing down Thanos and his entire

army and I said out loud to Jeff D. Lowe in the theater that this is the greatest shot in cinematic history I was like Captain America doing exactly what his character has always done, standing up to the bad guys, the bullies, no matter how big, no matter how much the odds are stacked against him. It was perfect. And then he hears a little crackle in his ear, and it's Sam saying, on your left, like from Winter Soldier. And I'm like, I'm going to cry talking about this.

This was the goosebumps. He says, on your left, Captain America turns around and a portal opens for Okai, Black Panther, and Shuri. They walk out of it, and Black Panther just gives Captain America kind of a nod. Falcon comes out of that afterwards. Then another portal opens, and all the Guardians, everyone from, what's the planet from the end of Infinity War? Titan.

Everyone from Titan comes out of that portal, including Doctor Strange and then our boy Spider-Man. Spider-Man comes out. I'm like, I forgot about, how do you forget about Spider-Man? But I was so overwhelmed. Spider-Man comes out and the theater went wild for Spider-Man. Like, oh my God, this motherfucker is back. This is amazing. Another portal opens. You get the entire This is amazing. Another portal opens.

You get the entire Doctor Strange army. Another portal opens. I mean, we got everyone. Every single Avenger comes back in this moment out of all these portals. It looks like a scene right out of a comic book. Like, we talked about Civil War last week looking like a comic book. The Russo

Brothers went and outdid that in this movie. Every scene looked like it was pulled. There's so much visual storytelling with these characters. They all come out. They all line up. Thanos' army on one side, the Avengers' army on the other side, and Steve finally says it.

My boy Captain America. He says, Avengers! Summons me on there. Assemble. I think I just screamed. I said, it was not only the greatest moment in cinematic history. And I'm not bullshitting you. I'm not using hyperbole.

It might have been the greatest moment of my life. This was unbelievable. And then they all run towards each other. And we get that shot where it looks like, again, it's pulled out of a comic book. Everyone is running together. War Machine is wearing his Iron Patriot costume, which I loved. Iron Man's flying in midair. Rescue Pepper Potts is there.

And they use Pepper Potts fucking perfectly in this movie, by the way. Yes, they did. Because she's been annoying in movies past. She's been a big gripe of Marvel fans, like maybe too much Pepper Potts, maybe too much complaining from Gwyneth Paltrow. She's used perfectly here. Her and Iron Man go back to back. It's awesome. We get to see Gamora and Peter Quill

reunite in the midst of this battle. There's so many moments in this battle. Even an underrated one like Black Panther T'Challa saying, Clint, over here! And remembering Clint's name because in Civil War he says, hey, I'm Clint, and he says, I don't care. It's like, man, they paid off everything in this battle.

Even Rocket and Groot ending up together at the end of it, and you're like, oh, they're back together. Pegasus flying through the air, it's just spectacular. It's spectacular. And they even used kind of the lighting from that scene in Ragnarok where they showed all of

the valkyrie i actually when the portals came out too i was my fucked up brain i was thinking about like all the memes that are come out of this and then like the people on both sides are just captain holding the hammer i'm like there's so many memes that i can't tweet out for like another like month because it's kind of spoiled it's really spoiler i know i don't like saying fat thor on twitter because like no one knows what it means unless you saw the movie and yeah it's not a very important part but the only thing i put out there on twitter that I felt was a little spoilery, but I was like, it's so obscure that I think it's okay. I just tweeted nothing in relation to Endgame.

I just tweeted, thank God for that rat. Yeah. And the people that saw it, got it. And the people that didn't see it have no idea what I'm talking about. I will say that there was one part that, and I think you nailed it. Like, so Peter and Gamora meet up and as a Guardians fan, everyone had their little fan service parts. And I'm like, she doesn't know. She still wants to kill everything Gamora, doesn't even know who he is.

And the way that they say it, it's such a sistery thing. Like, him? Really? He's an idiot. As Drax would say, he's an imbecile. Yeah. And she's like, it was him or a tree. And it's like, that's such a sistery thing to say. You can just tell that relationship, and it's so deep. So in this battle, we see pretty quickly Peter Parker reunite with Tony Stark.

And from this moment on, I was a puddle. I was already crying from Captain America wielding the hammer, from Captain America saying Avengers assemble, from just seeing the fight scene, seeing Giant Man. Giant Man. Amazing seeing him. I know, I know just it's so dense this battle there's so much packed into it and it's like a 33 minute battle by the way i time the

whole thing i think it's like 33 minutes from the time the first blast hits avengers hq to the time tony unfortunately passes away and it's a battle you didn't even know was about to start until it's already already yes blown up so tony reunites with peter and it's a battle you didn't even know was about to start until it's already blown up. So Tony reunites with Peter and it's such an emotional scene because Peter's just like, hey, remember when we were on that planet and I got all dusty? It's been like five years past apparently and Dr. Strange said

we had to come help you and as he's trying to lay this out, Tony just gives him a hug. And it's the hug that Peter Parker thought he was getting at the beginning of Homecoming, but he wasn't. And the father-son relationship between those two has been one of my favorite things to watch unfold on a movie screen in my entire life. So seeing that, I was just, I was crying hysterically seeing those two reunite. We get to see, like you said, everyone else.

We get to see Pegasus. Eventually, Captain Marvel joins the fray. When it looks like shit's about to get fucked up because Thanos is just raining fire down. He does not care. Yes. And so he actually we jumped a little ahead at that as well because he runs into Scarlet Witch and Scarlet Witch drops down

and has such a badass moment where she says you took everything from me. He says I don't even know who you are. She says you will. And she starts to tear the armor off of his body, and the young, inexperienced Thanos makes the judgment call to just rain down fire on the entire battlefield.

And they're like, sir, our troops. And he's like, I don't care, just do it. And it's an impulsive decision, and it costs him in the end because half of his troops get demolished by his own ships here. And Captain Marvel, all the biggest ships re-fire towards the sky

and rocket and is holding Groot. And he's like, what are they firing at? It's almost beat for beat the Thor arrival on Wakanda where we don't know what's happening. We see a bolt of light and then the big,

strong, powerful character arrives. She pulls the old hold on maneuver, flies herself through the ship, destroys it, and Thanos has his first real look of oh fuck on his face that we've ever seen him have. What the fuck is this thing? It was the Steve Rogers holding him back moment amplified times a billion because he was like, oh my god, I might lose this fight. That's what I saw on his face right there.

That's the bitch who said, I'm going to go kill Thanos. It was nothing to her. That is a badass motherfucker. Yes. And I like that they saved her for this I like that they didn't force her into this movie and make her like one of the original six this was very much an original six Avengers movie and you know Nebula worked her way in there rightfully so but they used Captain Marvel perfectly in my eyes and she goes down she starts fighting with all of the other women of the MCU did you want to touch on this here yeah so this is the part that really fucked me up because perfectly in my eyes. And she goes down, she starts fighting with all of the other women of the MCU. Did you want to touch

on this here? Yeah, so this is the part that really fucked me up because I also liked how it was a callback to when, I don't know if it's Black Widow by herself,

or it might be Scarlet Witch by herself, and then she's like, you're going to die alone, and then she has the blue face or whatever, the blue face villain. She says she's not alone.

She's not alone and all the girls come. And it seemed a little ridiculous to have literally every single girl all together here when there's a billion other things. But as a father of a daughter who loves this shit, she loves it, Bob, and you get so sick of her having to, like, the girl characters in all these shows, they always wear pink, and they can fly, and they're finessed.

And she has people to, like, enjoy now. When she plays the video games, she doesn't have to just be, just be one or two characters that stink if she wants to be a girl. And this is an important movie, and I know there's going to be a lot of people out there who are going to hate it. And to be honest, I would probably roll my eyes if I wasn't a dad of a daughter. But when you see it, this is going to change her life in a good way. Where it's like, you tell girls they can do anything, and then when you just have something stupid like a superhero movie. We grew up. I could be Iron Man. I could be this. I i could be that and it kind of goes like that so i just i i got emotional about

it the first two times a little emotional about it now i'm gonna be a puddle when i see her there with sienna and she's gonna see gamora fighting hand in hand with you know valkyrie and scarlet witch and all this stuff and all these people she's learning and it's like that's what it's about man like comic books and that's why why Black Panther was such an important movie. That's why Captain Marvel was such an important movie. And it's like, we've had our fucking run. We've had Iron Man and Captain America. Just let the girls have their three-second scene, man.

I love this moment. I got chills and I cheered out loud as soon as all the girls teamed up. Because Marvel's arsenal of girls, like you just said, is so badass and powerful at this point that they're legitimately as awesome as Marvel's arsenal of dudes. Yes. Like, there's so many unique characters, too. Like, when they all lined up, you really got to see how unique each character is and how awesome that is.

So different, exactly. Yes. They're not just all the finesse flying characters. So they go to fuck Thanos up, they go to fuck the army up, and they're trying to get the Infinity Gauntlet back into Scott Lang's truck, back into the Quantum Realm. Which is a great callback. That broke pretty good. Yes.

And they're trying to get it back. And right before they're able to, I also love the scene where Peter Parker has it for a moment. And he's running with it like he's like, Black Panther runs with it like he's like a running back for a bit. And then passes it to Peter Parker. He's running it like he's like Black Panther runs with it like he's like a running back for a bit and then pass it to Peter Parker he's running it like he's running back and he swings a web onto Mjolnir which was thrown by Captain America gets picked up by Valkyrie and then gives it to Captain Marvel and I was like if I read that sentence in 2008 when Iron Man comes out my mind would have just exploded like what is happening in this universe that that was just like a casual thing?

People aren't even mentioning that scene. It's such a, yeah, like the fact he, and I know he doesn't grab it, obviously, but the fact he's able to take the hammer for a ride, but he can still use it. And Brie Larson's voice, she has the perfect voice for this when she's like, hello, Peter Parker. It's like the nice teacher or the mom. She has like that voice down pat that just makes you feel like everything's going to be okay. She's like, you got something for me, Peter Parker?

So cute. I love her. So amazing. So as they're getting it over there, and I loved seeing Black Panther and Thanos kind of square out because I was like, oh, damn, that's awesome. So as they're getting it over there, Thanos destroys the truck, which is like, oh, fuck, what are we going to do now? It's like he keeps throwing a wrench in every plan they've got. And Captain Marvel goes down and fights him. And it's so frigging awesome because he puts the glove on

and he gets like a millisecond away from snapping. The theater just, the heart's dropping. Yes, because he puts it on and we get to see the parallel shot from Infinity War where he's kind of absorbing all the power. It looks like he's coming in his pants. And Captain Marvel reigns in right before he snaps. She holds his fingers open, starts to fight with him.

And then he headbutts her and she doesn't move. It's like headbutting a Samoan in wrestling. It was so awesome. Theater cheers every time that happens. And he pulls the Power Stone out of the Infinity Gauntlet, punches her in the fucking face with the Power Stone. Unbelievable.

Puts it back, and right as he's about to snap once again, Iron Man gets signaled by Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange just holds up a one, because Iron Man said to him, tell me, is this the one in 14 million? Doctor Strange said, if I tell you it happens, it won't happen. At this moment, Doctor Strange looks over to Tony Stark and signals, this is the one. And I got chills up and down my arms, because at this moment, Doctor Strange looks over to Tony Stark and signals, this is the one. And I got chills up and down my arms because at this moment I started sobbing, realizing what was about to happen. Tony Stark stops Thanos from snapping.

Thanos eventually rips him off, throws him away, and snaps. And you just hear the clink of metal. The whole theater is like, no, he did it. That boy done did it again. Yeah. And you hear the clink of metal. He turns it around and there's no stones in it. We cut back to Tony Stark right after Thanos had said, I am inevitable.

Tony Stark now has the stones appearing on his own glove. There must have been some transfer going on as he was fighting away. And Tony Stark just says, I am Iron Man. And he snaps. And he destroys all of Thanos, his army. He destroys Thanos. He destroys everything. Everything from that universe.

And it kills him in the process. It takes all of his energy. He goes, he stumbles away. And it fucking kills me because War Machine comes over. And he's like, War Machine's crying, realizing what just happened. And Peter Parker comes over, and Peter Parker, the most innocent kid in the world, is just like, Mr. Stark, you okay? We won, Mr. Stark. You did it.

We won, Mr. Stark. And Pepper comes over and kind of grabs Peter and brings him to the side, and she just says, we're going to be all right. You can rest now. And it's like, goddamn, that's from 2008 to 2019, across how many frigging movies now, Robert Downey Jr., we said last week, has played this character better or as good as anyone has ever played any character in the history of movies.

That's the greatest character arc of all time wrapped up. They nailed it. They nailed it. They nailed it. And the way Pepper says, we're going to be all right. She's not talking about her and Tony. She's talking about her and the daughter. She's not going to have a father. We're not going to have you around, but we're going to be all right.

You had to do it. I do. I got woke in the theater and was like, Doctor Strange was kind of an asshole. There could have been two scenarios where he had to do the glove and snap, and he could have died. And he's like, no, Tony, just one. There's just one. You're going to have to do it um but yeah like you said the greatest the greatest arc ever like could tony have turned heel and just fucking taken over the world because

there any other way there was no other way like dr strange said one in 14 million 65 or whatever like that yeah and and it was just the entire ending, the entire I Am Iron Man and the snap going forward was so fucking perfect. It was the most flawlessly executed final act of a movie I've ever seen through and through

and it continued with Tony Stark's funeral. Another scene, I got a few tweets about this that looked like it was pulled directly from a comic book. Yes. Every Marvel hero was gathered at Tony Stark's funeral. When you see them in the suits, it's almost a cover of a comic book, and Hulk always has the comically big suit. Again, the big Hulk store. They're all at his funeral, and what really, really got me after all of this is iron man left a message for his family

in case of an untimely death he says and he says you know not all happy endings maybe this time but maybe not next time and that's part of the gig part of the journey is the end and they're showing in a return of the jedi type way all across the galaxy that he did it he saved everyone and put everything back to normal. And they're showing Hawkeye with his family again. They're showing Black Panther looking over Wakanda and fireworks going off. And as soon as they're showing this, the music is so beautiful

and the sentiment that Tony Stark has is so beautiful. And his hologram says, oh, what am I worried about anyway? It's all going to be okay. And he looks at his daughter and he says, I love you 3,000. Got me. Oh my fucking God.

Right after that, we get a scene with Tony Stark's daughter and Happy Hogan where he says, hey, are you hungry? She says, yeah. He says, what do you want?

She says, cheeseburgers. And he just has that pause where he's just like, man. And they let Jon Favreau have that moment, which I thought was so cool. He started this off. He deserves it. And it was kind of a,

it was not a fourth wall breaking moment, but it worked in a fourth wall type way where he's like, kind of just thought about everything at that point. He said, your dad loved cheeseburgers and it fucking destroyed me, Clement. It destroyed me. When you said that, you said it destroyed you. I was like, oh, that kind of

made it easier for me. And then I watched and I was like, oh no, this is really fucked up. I don't know how it didn't hit me the first time. Fuck whoever wrote that scene. Fuck them. Because that destroyed me. Fuck you. If you wrote that scene, fuck you. I was hoping he was going to say shawarma or something. We were going to have a callback. Yeah. But that would not have hit nearly like it did. The last two times

I've seen Infinity War, I've just stopped at McDonald's on the way home and got myself a cheeseburger, and I'm like, this one's for you, my dog Tony Stark. My dog Tony Stark. My dog Tony with an E. And everyone's at the funeral, including Nick Fury. It's a really nice, like, when they pan up through everyone,

including one kid who nobody knew who this kid was. He's the kid from Iron Man 3, if you remember correctly. That movie consisted of Iron Man just walking around in the snow with a random kid. That is the kid. Do you think he could become the new Iron Man 3. If you remember correctly, that movie consisted of Iron Man just walking around in the snow with a random kid. That is the kid. Do you think he could become the new Iron Man? I was thinking about that. I don't know. If I had my choice for the new Iron Man,

it's a very simple choice, and it's Shuri. Shuri, the most technologically advanced, super smart person. And there is, I believe, a young black girl that's Iron Man in the comics right now. I think her name is like Riri or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it could happen, I think. I think it would be super awesome. Now... I also thought it was weird how the funeral was just listed basically. It was like if you were the cool kids, you got the front of the funeral and then it kind of like went back

and then like Nick Fury obviously is important but he's in the back and Captain Marvel. And Captain Marvel's kind of in the back because she didn't know him as well. Groot has pubes, by the way. What? Groot has some moss on him. I'm saying he's getting some moss on him. On his face? All over his body.

Groot's becoming a man right now. I dig that. Hopefully by Guardians 3, he'll be a young, he'll be like, I don't know, my age? Yeah, he'll be a little Robbie. That'd be kind of awesome, the Asgardians of the galaxy, because as they're wrapping things up, Thor gives over the reins, I guess, of kingdom or queendom to Valkyrie,

and he says, you should run New Asgard. The people already follow you. It's a very nice moment between these two. He says, and I already got a ride. And he goes on with the Guardians and has a scene with Chris Pratt as Star-Lord that's almost as good as their scene together in Infinity War. Where he's like, where are we going next? And he's swiping away on the touchscreen map.

And Star-Lord's like, just so you know, I'm in charge here. He's like, of course, of course. Of course. And they talk about fighting and they're like, fighting won't be necessary. Everyone knows who's in charge here. And they go back. The dynamic between those two is just so goddamn good i can't wait to see him in guardians 3 especially written by james gunn yeah i i do think some of the the humor that i thought may not have landed as much in this movie was the stuff that wasn't written by james

gunn basically you know and i think everything that hit that he did hit my brother made this point after the movie the one thing that i wish they had done now, and it would have been awkward considering the heaviness of some of these scenes, was if Rocket got Bucky's arm. Oh, yeah. I wish he'd gotten that arm. That would be really good. I hope in Guardians 3, I know I said this about Endgame,

so I just gotta speak it into existence about Guardians 3 as well. Korg. Give me Korg. Give me Korg looking back and forth with Rocket Raccoon. Who, by the way, we didn't even mention this line from Rocket Raccoon, but it's one of my favorite lines in the whole movie. When Scott Lang first says, wait, are we going to space? And Rocket Raccoon goes, oh, look, he's like a little puppy.

You want to go to space? You want to go to space, little puppy? I'll take you to space, little puppy. So funny. So fucking funny. But he goes off with him. They call themselves the Asgardians of the Galaxy. Big part of me hopes that's what the movie is actually going to be called.

Even though it's just a part of it. Yes. You know what I mean? And then we get the conclusion to my boy Cap's story, which if I – I thought there were no more tears left to cry at this point. But, oh, my God, it just made it worse. You're crying bile at this point. You know, we have nothing else to puke but bile. You're crying bile in your eyes. And it wasn't like there's a tear running down here and there

it was like full fledged like tissues are being passed to me because they're dripping down my jaw and I'm only going to get emotional talking about it now but he goes to return all the stones and they said alright this is mission go return all the stones right before we got them,

and he takes the hammer with him to go return it to past Thor, I would have to assume, and they're like, you're going to be gone for however long it takes for you, but it's going to be 10 seconds in our world. Captain America says to Bucky, don't do anything stupid, and Bucky says, how could I? You're taking all the stupid with you, which is what they exchanged in the first Avenger. I I mean they just reversed the exchanging of those words and

Bucky gives him a big hug and says I'm gonna miss you because he knows what Captain America is about to do and everyone else is like all right we'll see you in 10 seconds Bucky just gave him a long look and he's like it's gonna be different without you Cap I'm gonna miss you and he doesn't come back and Sam is kind of losing it Falcon he, he's like, hey, get him back. Get him back. What's going on? And they look, and he's just sitting on a bench. And they walk over to him.

And Steve Rogers is an old man. He's probably 80, 85 years old in this scene. And I don't know if it's a different actor, if it's complete CGI. He definitely had Chris Evans' voice. It was perfectly done, whatever it was. I know I've said perfectly done or flawlessly executed a thousand times in this movie, it's worthy of every time I say that.

It's Disney. They can make magic. I mean, just go to Magic Kingdom for a day and you're like, oh yeah, they can do anything. Yeah, and man, I was crying realizing what he did. And I don't know how it worked with the time travel. The one thing of time travel that didn't make as much sense to me is this ending.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the way he became old. Quite frankly, I don't give a shit. That's not the kind of thing that I look into for movies. I'm just like, however it happened, it happened. I accept it.

He found Hank Pym and they reversed the effects. Yeah, exactly. I'll write off something in headcanon in my brain. But he says, I went and got some of that life Tony told me about.

And Sam says, good for you, I'm happy for you. How was it? And he says, it was beautiful. And he said, the only thing I'm not happy about is that we have to live in a world without Captain America. And Captain passes him the fucking shield. And he says, speaking of that,

I want you to try this on. He puts it on, and he says, how does it feel? And he says, like it's somebody else's. And he fucking says, well, it isn't. And we got a new Captain America. Captain America is passing on the reins to falcon because he said i'll do my best captain he said that's what i'm giving it to you and i love that we're getting falcon as captain america he's like the perfect person for that in my mind bucky to the

world is still kind of a terrorist he's a comic and the other thing is like you don't want your captain america brainwashable yeah some people were saying to me they were like would you have rather had bucky and i'm no, because also the Winter Soldier's so fucking cool. I love the Winter Soldier. I love his arm. I love his long hair. I love his beard. Don't cover any of that up. Sebastian Stan is the Winter Soldier's awesome. I can't play for the Yankees. This now sets up

Falcon and Winter Soldier. They have their own Disney Plus show as well. We're going to get to see the evolution of kind of the origin of his version of Captain America. Now imagine Falcon with the shield, with the wings, with the Captain America, the red, white, and blue wings. Oh, it's going to be so fucking cool. I'm not a Sam guy, but that show works. Yeah, I was never the biggest Sam guy, but I was never – I mean, he's Team Cap, so I stick by him.

When he stuck by Cap in Civil War, I was like, all right, he's my guy. But I think he's going to knock it out of the park. Anthony Mackie is such a good actor. And he's so good in this scene. Like his emotion when he's accepting that shield. As it processes and he realizes. And he's realizing it and he just kind of takes a – he swallows and he's just like, okay, I'm going to do my best. And Captain America shakes his hand and he's got a ring on.

He says, so you want to tell me about the girl? And Cap just says, no, I don't think I will. And we fucking cut to the 1940s, and we see Cap finally getting that dance, and that's the final shot. They gave my guy a happy ending. And I know your guy didn't get the happy ending that we were looking for, but Captain America got literally the perfect ending. I feel like Tony Stark did as well.

I think Tony Stark's sacrificing himself. I think when he says, I am Iron Man, that's kind of what he says at the end of the first one. He's like, I am Iron Man. And that's who he chose to be instead of Tony Stark. And the entire 22-movie saga. Yep, and Cap, I am legitimately happy for Cap. To know you saved the world must feel awesome.

Just going back in time, I saved the world, now I get to enjoy my life. On the second viewing, I did think it would have been kind of funny if they're dancing, and you see Cap dancing with a girl, and as the girl turns around, you realize it's Thanos with a wig. And Cap turned heel, and they're going to take over the world. I would have loved if that happened. It would have been the weirdest fucking ending ever.

It's such a great movie. But yeah, shout out to the guy Cap. He earned that happy ending. Yeah, think it's such a great movie. But yeah, shout out to the guy Cap. He earned that happy ending. Yeah, he really did. After everything, I saw some people saying like, man, he just sat by and watched Bucky get brainwashed. He watched Hydra take over S.H.I.E.L.D., whatever. And it's like, Cap took

one for himself. He did everything else for everyone else in his life. He took one for himself for the fate of the universe. He knew everything would be alright in the end. So yeah, he did that. If you're Cap, you're like, I can't change anything or else then Thanos could get stronger and this doesn't work like that's how you just tell yourself so you know so you just snuggle in bed you know in those cold winter mornings so that's end game front to back we got a few questions we're going to answer a few questions before we get out of here overall i said initially it felt like the second best marvel

cinematic universe movie ever right right after Infinity War. After two more watches, I don't know if I could stand by that statement to where I'm liking it more and more with every watch. It's like neck and neck with Infinity War at this point for me. That final act, that final hour, is the greatest hour of a superhero movie I've ever seen, I think. Like Dark Knight included, I think.

Yeah, I remember we were going film versus movie. I do think, so I still think I have Infinity War higher Knight included, I think. Yeah. Remember we were going film versus movie? Yes. I do think, so I still think I have Infinity War higher than it, but it's weird. It's kind of like film versus movie. Infinity War is a better movie. It's like a better movie, but this is more of a celebration, you know? This is more of a victory lap, like I said. This needed

to be what it was. It was kind of, you know, it's Empire versus Jedi in a sense, but Jedi was like 30% better, you know, it's Empire versus Jedi in a sense. But Jedi, if Jedi was like 30 percent better. You know what I mean? So I have Infinity War higher, but they're different movies. It's LeBron and Cleveland versus LeBron and Miami. It's completely different things. It's so unfair to judge them against each other.

Just put it as a six hour movie. Put it out. I'll sit in the movie theater for six hours. I don't care. That'd be so awesome. I would love to do that. Yes. I would honestly in the movie theater for six hours. I don't care. Oh, that'd be so awesome. I would love to do that. Yes. I would honestly love to do that.

We might have to just buy our 40 tickets and then meet up at the office and watch Infinity War leading right into it. Let's try to answer a few of the questions for the people. Ben Jansen wrote in and said, how should they address the fact that the people that didn't get snapped are now five years older than the people who were born in the same year as them but did get snapped? For example, it appears Ned didn't get snapped, but he is still in high school and peter returns a lot of people were talking about this because peter and ned reunite i took it as ned got snapped too yeah me too i was just like that's how they would react regardless of holy shit dude

we died for five years and we're back together yeah it wasn't like oh my god you're you know you came back from the snap it's oh my god we're back together. Yeah, it wasn't like, oh my God, you came back from the snap. It's, oh my God, we're back together. So I'm with you on that. Yes. Here's one from Nick Giacobbe. He says, can you discuss how the time traveling multiple timelines can affect the MCU if Loki can somehow return? We kind of touched on that earlier.

Loki definitely can return. There is now a timeline where he escaped with the Tesseract after the Battle of New York. That sets up his Disney Plus show where he's reportedly going to go in and change a bunch of things in history, which is awesome because that's now in an alternate universe. So it's not fucking with anything else that we got. Disney knows Disney Plus is like where they're going to be their cash cow. So they're just going to go heavy in there instead of worrying about their huge movies that probably take a ton of work and effort. Like they're going to go on the TV shows at least to start.

He goes on and says, was the whole crew with the Avengers assemble your best slash your favorite scene in cinema history? Yes, it was. Kamish Fish 12 wrote in and said, with the rumor of the next arc's big bad guy being cosmic, would you prefer Galactus and a Silver Surfer storyline or slowly building up to Doctor Doom over phases four through six until he reaches cosmic doom? I would prefer Dr. Doom, and here's why.

We kind of got our big bad guy who we were told about, told about, told about, and then he's like the biggest, baddest motherfucker in the world with Thanos. That's kind of the only way you could do Galactus, right? You can't, like, you don't want to give Galactus an entire origin story

and have him in multiple movies before you get to the big team-up against Galactus, which you would have to do with Fantastic Four and X-Men. That'd be so awesome. I would rather you do Doctor Doom. Doctor Doom's one of the best comic book villains ever. Bring him to that cosmic level and let us watch the process

unfold just to keep things fresh. You sold me on that. Yep, I was kind of either or on that, but I do think, I want to see Doctor Doom done right. So yeah, for sure. He goes on and says, who leads the Avengers now? Who would be your leader? And I put a little bit of thought

into this after the movie. I think good candidates would be Black Panther for one. Black Panther, obviously the king of Wakanda, knows a thing or two about leadership. Captain Marvel from a pure power standpoint, but I don't know if she would be the best

because she's going off doing a thousand different things in different universes, different planets, and doesn't know the team that well. Sam is decent as Captain America,

but he's so green that I don't think he can take over the Avengers. Thor's off with the Guardians, so that makes that interesting. Honestly, I think I'd go Black Panther. Yeah, I think you have

to go Black Panther. Hulk isn't a leader. It's not his kind of thing. Maybe Nick Fury steps into more of a hands-on role for a little interim. Or it could be maybe someone that's coming from 20th Century Fox. Yes. Fantastic Four kind of stuff.

That would be cool too. End game question. Were you surprised with no post credit scene and what are your thoughts on that I don't know if I was surprised there was definitely

part of me going in that I was like there might not be a post credit scene in this one every other post credit scene led to this very moment and I was fine with it

having no post credit scene kind of just letting this simmer without leaving the theater looking forward to a new thing like it really let this one set in

that I 100% put a bow on it, and there's nothing else. Just basically we're moving on to the next phase now. Yeah, this guy said, Can't wait for the new episode. Movie is fantastic. Thank you for listening and looking forward to the new episode. Subscribe, rate five stars. Absolutely. He said, So sad to see my dog Tony go.

He didn't say my dog. I threw that in for him. But he has been my favorite since the beginning. Would you have done anything differently if you could have? The only thing for me is reversing that Thor thing. Having Thor be Infinity War Thor for that final battle scene, I would have dug. But I talked to Jeff about this, and that is such a minuscule gripe with the movie, and they did so much right that you could have that. If you want to do Fat Thor in the final battle scene, you gave me so much to be happy about. I'm not going to be the guy to complain about one little aspect of the movie. Kill Captain America, let my dog out.

I'm just kidding. I'm just fucking with you. It's fair the way it worked. And then this question from Carm comes in, and this will be the last one. He says, I've never seen any of the MCU movies. Your reaction to Endgame is something that inspired me to get caught up to date. Not too familiar, though, so I'm wondering if you have a recommended list of the movies movies. Your reaction to Endgame is something that inspired me to get caught up to date. Not too familiar, though, so I'm wondering

if you have a recommended list of the movies I should watch. I, for Star Wars and the MCU, always stand by going in release order because I find they tease things that are later paid off in things that may be prequels. So, for example,

if you watch Star Wars in, if you show Star Wars to someone for the first time in chronological order, that moment in Empire when Darth Vader says, Luke – he says, no, I am your father is not a surprise at all. You know that. You see him, Father Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. If you show it in release order, it's a very cool moment. It's a very shocking moment, and then you get to see the full story later, which I believe makes Revenge of the Sith even better.

You know what I mean? Yep. And all of those movies better. So there are things like that that are aspects of the MCU that are paid off like that. I always go release order. That was actually the guy who I saw who was doing the marathon was like, I kind of wish that they had done it in chronological order. But then you have Captain Marvel starting things off.

Yeah. And Captain America, and it's just too much. Things are supposed to get more clear there, but for me it just becomes more confusing if you go chronological. I agree, I agree. And you know what, especially now, you can watch YouTube videos you don't have to watch every single movie if you want to catch up

and you could watch Jeff D. Lowe's YouTube video of the everything you need to know before Endgame in 10 minutes. I would definitely try to watch as many as you could and definitely watch Infinity War, but if you need a little before Endgame in 10 minutes. I would definitely try to watch as many as you could and definitely watch Infinity War, but if you need a little refresher, go over to Lights, Camera, Barstool, and they made a great video for you.
