Re: Avengers: End Game
I think it has to be (entire pool of all life)/2. Otherwise how does Thanos 'aim' at half of each kind of life? For one thing, he'd have to have complete knowledge of every single type of life before he could decide to to kill half of one of those types. What if there were lizard people on an unknown lizard planet? How do you kill any of them if you don't know they exist? I think the stones empower the wearer but I don't think the idea is the stones act on general orders.El Guapo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 11:37 amInteresting. Though that raises the question - when Thanos is eliminating "half of all living things", are we talking a giant pool of every living being, or does each pool get divided in half? Like, is it half of humans, half of dogs, half of cats, etc., or is it (humans + cats + dogs) / 2? Because if it's the latter, a lot of the lives are going to wind up being fruit flies, mosquitoes, ants, etc., such that the human / intelligent loss would probably wind up being considerably less than half.

Re: Avengers: End Game
Pretty sure the soul stone, mind stone and the space stone could take care of all that. Soul stone can smell out this 'sentient life' with the help of the power and space stone, it could find it anywhere, and with the time stone - it could happen in no time flat.gameoverman wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 9:24 pm I think it has to be (entire pool of all life)/2.

So I would argue it absoluetly could kill off species he's not even aware of, just like it could kill off people he is personally aware of. Why are you ok with the general order 'half of that there human race', but not 'half of all the souls of the universe' ?

Re: Avengers: End Game
So how did Thor get his old hammer? Confirmed time travel?
EDITED to add:
The hammer is too big to be the old one. So is that the Stormbreaker?

I guess it's also worth adding that the Ant Man character started off as a small time burglar, so he is probably accustomed to going in through the back door.
Okay, maybe it wasn't worth it.

Re: Avengers: End Game
Trying to buy tickets for this movie today has been an adventure.
The AMC app and website simply won't work, and the Regal app won't actually create a ticket for me for any showtime I try to pick. Oy.

Re: Avengers: End Game
Deadline
In addition, the frenzy for Avengers: Endgame tickets is so huge, it’s crashing sites. Ticket buyers are getting a 503 error code on AMC, and some users on Atom and Fandango are having difficulty too. But that’s a sign that business is strong, and it’s par for the course for any ticket retailer’s sites whenever there is a rush for a hot act. You just get boxed out. Keep trying.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: Avengers: End Game
One of the mangers at work bought 10 tickets for a bunch of us to go. We had some issues on the Regal site at first (there was a minute timer we had to waith through) but after that it went through fine. Going to see it Friday at 3:30pm on opening weekend. Haven't been so excited for any movie (as a "grown up") in ... ever...?

Re: Avengers: End Game
Managed to finally get through on Regal's website and buy a ticket for Monday, the 29th.
At least this way I'll still see it fairly early, but miss out on some of the opening weekend insanity.

Re: Avengers: End Game
I just watched the previous Avengers movie a few weeks ago. It was too long and overstuffed for my tastes...but I suppose I ought to see this one eventually. I hope it has 50% fewer superheroes!

Re: Avengers: End Game
Bought the tickets for Friday. Wanted to watch it the first day (Wednesday) but sold out before I had a chance to buy them. They started to sell them at midnight and I bought mine around 1:30. So the first day showing sold out in less one and half hour. Didn't take a look at second day because the showtimes are not suitable for my schedule.

I think Kevin Smith liked it.
So @harleyquinnsmith and I went to the movies tonight, and 3 hours later I’m shook! My God, Endgame is beyond epic! It’s everything you hope it will be and more - an absolute marvel! Bring lotsa tissues for tears and other fluids! I’m pretty sure it will make all the money ever printed! Loved it and would watch again instantly!

Re: Avengers: End Game
Just saw it. (I'm in Australia).
Spoiler free review: don't worry; it's good and the end felt satisfying. Also it didn't feel like a three hour movie, so I think that's a compliment.
Okay, SUPER ULTRA MEGA SPOILERS INCOMING. DO NOT CLICK BELOW UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE:

Initial, non-spoilery impressions:
Ran a little long, and the pacing could use a little work. That being said, the movie exceeded my expectations -- not just as a sequel to Infinity War, but as a culmination of the saga so far. So many good moments.

Wife and I just saw it and loved it...
Lots of callbacks, funny moments, awesome moments, and some sad ones. Lots of moments that caused the theater to erupt into excitement and only one that caused it to go silent.
Defiantly a great end to the infinity saga... (although I think I read somewhere that the next Spider-Man movie is the true end. Not sure how that would be)

Re: Avengers: End Game
Just got back....
9.9999999 / 10
Really a 10/10 in all realities outside of the ideal one.
It's awesome, perfect end / transition to phase 4. Very strong choices while still feeling like a warm blanket.

No. I didn''t want to spoil anything by asking in more detail. And I was on the phone and didn't want to deal with typing out spoiler tags. I found the answer to my question.
