It’s not better than the first Avengers in any regard lmao

Age of Ultron will always have a special place in my heart because it’s the only Avengers movie where the Avengers are a team from start to finish

The way they mapped it out so that the Avengers were split up by the start of Infinity War is highkey genius

I’ll never forget watching the first Avengers for the first time in theaters. Been following since the first Iron Man

Thor vs Hulk fight

it’s filmed better and better costumes

story wise u could debate all day but age of ultron at least doesn’t look like a tv show

It definitely looks more like a movie I’ll give it that. Story wise is not debatable either, the execution of the first film’s story blows it out of the water

IW relies on the spectacle and previous MCU..

in comparison to endgame

really?

im not being a d*** but this feels like a troll post

Ehh I don't know if "start to finish" is the right phrase

not at all..

That s*** looks like a TV movie and knowing Thor could of handled Loki’s ass AGAIN even with an army made me not like the movie as much

takes me out of it whenever I rewatch but yeah “I’m always angry” is cool

Yeah that's something I don't get at all lmao you can't just watch Endgame without having any previous knowledge of the majority of the previous movies. It's a movie tying up the loose ends of ten years worth of films

With Infinity War the most you gotta watch prior is Civil War and maybe Thor: Ragnarok, but I saw it without seeing Ragnarok and still followed along with everything going on. And maybe if you actually care about the five or so minutes of Red Skull, the first Captain America movie lol

It definitely does.

The first twenty minutes alone will have many questions for a viewer who hasn’t seen all of the previous MCU movies before.

“Why are Thor and the Asgardians on this ship? Why is the Hulk with them?”

“Why are the Avengers split up?”

“Who is this group in space with the raccoon and the tree and how are they involved in all of this?”

“Why is Captain America on the run?”

in IW the heros are completely aware they're fighting a losing battle with absolutely zero hope.

the antagonist is basically a god, collecting stones which him even stronger

what tonys been terrified of for years finally manifested itself, much earlier than predicted. and much deadlier than he could have realized.

they fight that uphill battle as hard as they can. the f***ing synergy between the avengers trying every little trick they could possibly muster up just to get absolutely washed anyway.

the way ironman knew he was fighting god and still gave it more than 100%. the way he realizes his fears were absolutely warranted as he see's his son figure disintegrate in his hands.

he tries everything. for nothing.
thor gets his revenge. for nothing.
even for thanos, gamora is gone. he won for nothing

there is zero marvel movie that fills in this slot.

aside from that one scene with tony, endgame absolutely s***s on the tone set by IW. Fat thor 😐 haha. Antman has no fans and can't eat a taco in peace 😐good one.

the only scenes that live up to IW in anyway for me are in like the last 40 mintues. aside from a few fan service moments, it fails to find any personality in it of itself.

Endgame has more fan-service-y things that only the diehards will like/understand, but on its basic level it’s much simpler to follow and grasp than IW

those are just continuing plot threads lol

the movie isn't riding itself off fan service and rehashed material

They’re continuing plot threads that are thrown at the viewer without any context whatsoever in the beginning of the movie. Endgame doesn’t have that

how is this the basis for which movie is better

You’re confusing stakes with plot though.

The characters realizing the fate of the universe is at stake if they lose doesn’t negate that the plot of the entire movie boils down to capture the flag.

Endgame is a much more layered story than that

troll post

I’m not trolling at all the movie is great but it’s literally just capture the flag (from Thanos’s perspective)

why are you ignoring everything else i said lol

Because IW’s greatness is driven by the spectacle of it all, finally seeing every hero in the MCU team up to fight one common enemy.

Endgame also has that spectacle in the last hour, but the first two hours are driven by character work and smaller, quieter emotional beats that IW doesn’t really have at all outside of Thanos/Gamora

I replied to everything you said. You were confusing the characters understanding the stakes of the conflict in that movie with the actual plot of the movie

Endgame literally starts off with Ironman deep in space recording a farewell message. I think most people who just jump in with Endgame will be asking:

"Why is Ironman lost in space?"
"How did Ironman get lost in space?"
"Who is the weird blue alien robot chick?"
"Who is that glowing space woman who saved Ironman?"
"Why is Ironman looking at Captain America and saying 'we failed'? What is it that they failed?"
"Why does the world look like the post-apocalypse?"
