@@oscarcandelasperez9546 that's the saddest part, he doesn't know he is alone yet
"I lost the kid..."
That line was so powerful in that moment... it still makes me emotional if I think about it

Ah thanks, I didn’t know, I didn’t watch it in English.
That was a tough scene
And Robert Downey Jr.’s performance was amazing
Was this in endgame? (Sorry I haven’t seen it yet I’ve already got spoiled lol)
Edit: just saw it today the greatest and saddest movie I’ve seen
2019: "The MCU is all the same, they don't try anything new"
2021: "What's this, a sitcom? Where's the superhero stuff?"
LMAO
Suddenly caralho kkkkkkk
I swear-
When I told my friend about Wandavision.. she said she watched it then I asked what episode she was on and she said
“The one when thor comes”-
No one wants to credit them.. now they're on the bandwagon
@@joeyp6901 MCU is beautiful
"marvel doesnt do anything new"
a war film
a fantasy
a political thriller
a space opera
a heist
a mindbender
coming of age
a film fighting for rights
and finally.
a movie where the villain wins.
And also a sitcom
Can you give the names?
I have only watched wandavision
@@manojkumarverma1615 cap 1, thor, cap 2, guardians, ant man, doctor strange, black panther, infinity war
There are a good amount of films where the villain wins, but i think there are few where the main antagonist is as compelling as Thanos.
Pretty sure marvel is the first noticeable/popular/known film to have the villain win, correct me if I’m wrong
@@radstaz2029 oh thanks
Don't cry because it's over

Cry because this quote is overused

Damnnn

I was 8 when Iron Man 1 was released. After Endgame, it dawned on me that for my kids the MCU will be what Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings were. I'm happy with that.
Ethan Mumma hello hell... Yeah it really is going to be that way. Never even though about it like that.
Don't forget most of us are also old enough to remember our heartbreaks when we walked out the last Harry Potter movie, and I mean the ogs when we thought Harry Potter was rip, we've been spoiled
What do think is gonna be the MCU for the next generation
Lord of the rings is on another level do t compare it to the MCU
I was three when Star Wars (A New Hope) was released, I wish the Star Wars franchise had half the consistency and audacity that MCU has.
spider man's death hit me hard. If you think about it, everybody else was there fully aware that they might die and most of them had lost so much they kinda HAD to fight, but spider man didn't ask to save the world, he was a teenager with a genuinely pure heart who wanted to see a brighter future but got involved in something big and was doing his best to help
This is true, but then again Thanos wiped half of all living things away so even if Peter wasnt on Titan he probably would have been snapped anyway
@@SaNdRiiS1401 but to be honest, it was good that he was snapped. Think about it. Everyone Peter knew and loved, dead, gone, no more. And yet somehow, he's still there, just to wallow in his depression whilst trying to help. Think about how much this would have destroyed Peter. He could've been the non-symbiote wearing equivalent of the Peter from Spider-Man's Shadow (a world where after losing Aunt May, Peter decided to give in to the symbiote and kill his entire rouges gallery and injure those who threatened him and others to a heavy extent even to the point where he crushed triple J's arm!). So in a sense, dying to the snap was a good thing for him. Because dying as a person, would have killed him in ways far greater than physical death.
Edit: Grammar and the final sentence.
And he knew he was going to die because of his Peter tingle
Sorry, I understand your feeling, but this is NOT Peter Parker. Peter is way stronger than this MCU version.
@@bemlok he's going to get stronger
Random Person: Everything in the MCU is the same
Marvel: Laughs in wandavsion
This is the only thing from marvel that is different everything else is the same
@@dominiclowe3640 so civil war is the same as the first avenger?
I really underestimated WandaVision, I just binged watched it today tho and it is AMAZING
@@umaganga11 yeah. It is the same man. Every MCU film ends with the heroes fighting each other and separating, or letting the villain destroy the place they are supposed to protect, or do what the villain wanted but in an entirely less destructive way or having the main character dead in the end and staying dead.
@@josejimtharayil1511 well let’s see, Iron Man: A genius rich dude gets captured by terrorists builds a robotic suit to escape, continues developing the suit, then goes to fight terrorists while his best friend betrays him and builds a copy of his suit, they fight he wins, and then he announces his secret identity to the public. Definitely has heroes fighting heroes, definitely let’s the villain destroy the place he’s supposed to protect, he definitely does what the villain wants, and he definitely dies
Ant man isn’t just a comedic heist film. It’s more about a dad trying his best to be with his daughter. He does go off track, and it leads into the superhero film, but to me it feels grounded in more reality than iron man, Thor or captain America. He’s not a billionaire, or a god, or a super soldier. He’s just a guy, trying his best. Thanks for listening to my ted talk
i enjoyed your ted talk, thank you
Jordan Hingoo *clap clap clap clap clap*
So, Jingle all the way
Ted X, I also agree with you. Both characters have completely different visions. Tony Stark wants to help people, Ant-Man (I forget his name) wanted to help his own family, and come closer to his daughter.
He was talking about tone, not theme. Thematically, yeah it might be more grounded, but the narrative devices used to achieve it were very different, where Ant Man was a comedy, and Iron Man was a tragedy, tonally.
“You can rest now”
Tony’s been through so much 😭💔
#liberalsquad
Kay Tee and I oop-
I saw someone say "You mean 'you can RUST now'." and honestly I started crying from both sadness and laughter
What a journey and changed man hes become
#tonyveteran
My all time favorite scene in cinema history is when at the end of infinity war when Thanos sits down on the porch of his cottage, reflects on his actions realizes it's all finally over,
And smiles.
Truly beautiful, epic and just art
As soon as I read your comment, that scene showed up in the vid. Coincidence? I think not.
The feeling of coming home on the last day of school…
sitting in your chair…
silent…
with a mix of joy and sadness…
pondering your orb…
waiting for the bois to come on discord…
All is well. Peace at last
In the beginning of infinity war thanos said losing turns the legs to jelly and in end game when he realizes he’s lost he sits down with his head looking down
And the music in that moment just gives me absolute chills. And then- the credits rolled, and I shot out of my seat in the theater, whisper-shouting, "What?!"
People look at the MCU and see the flaws, and ONLY see the flaws, which is terrible, because yes, the MCU has flaws, and plot holes, and bad moments or writing, but considering that this is a 20 movie series, written by multiple different people at different times, I think that's pretty damn impressive that it's good at all. of course this universe will have flaws, that's expected, but honestly, after seeing the comics that it's inspired from, I think this is better than what we deserve. the MCU makes me happy, and I don't want people to try convince me otherwise
Underrated comment
But when you mention a flaw in a dc movies it’s always “You don’t understand it.”
@@justanormalinvestigator2640 yeah lol
Every time I talk about how the Snyder cut wasn't that good, better than justice league though they just start raging for no reason
@@kaysar-i-rum4025 yeah they could have cut a lot of shit and made the slow mo faster to make the movie like 3hours
@KK TV of course they are, they've been around longer, they have less boundaries because they are drawn, they have more history with what works well with their audiences, etc. Of course they're better
imma be real for a second. i finished endgame today and i as a fan feel like i have been taking it for granted even tho i had a obsession , it feels like a peice of me is gone now
Well, we have something left at least... Spider-man? But still I've been watching all the MCU films ever since I was a child, first one I've seen was Iron Man and saw all the movies. I've been thinking about it and realized that these films are mere reflections of our lives. If take the context, a greedy billionaire becomes an altruistic superhero, a young prince who realizes that to become a good King is take responsibility, an aggressive god of thunder turned.. "mellow." These people overcame their struggles.
Endgame spoilers
Steve finally lives the peaceful life he wanted with Peggy.
Tony finally overcomes his grief and defeats the one person who gave him emotional scars.
They overcame their struggles and problems.. like we do sometimes. I think heroes aren't just superpowered beings, but regular people who are trying their best to overcome the challenges that weighs them down. And we could become just like that too.
There will still be marvel movies in the next phase after next next year
i finished endgame last night and the shocking realization that i can never see that movie for the first time again... it shook me. that was the end of the story ark, and what a way to go. yeah there are still more movies coming, but its not THESE movies. its not the avengers. the original six, and with that im gonna go cry in a corner, good luck with everybody's lives
Jaelen Cooper soooooooo much better than dark knight in every single way imaginable. And definitely Logan that’s a boring movie lol
@@jessejive117 "How to remove someone else's comment?"
Notice how he didn't speak a word of Hawkeye.
He got the happiest ending perhaps. His family lived in the end, he didn't died or disabled, etc.
@@klauserji Yeah, I think it was a satisfying ending. Ever since Ultron, he just wanted to be a family man and retire but because of the snap, he had no choice but to fight.
@@klauserji In the comics he was disabled (deaf, I'm pretty sure) I think making him disabled would have given him more depth and chances to explore his character. Overall happy ending =/= good character
@@disgruntledradish6106 I think they are doing a show with deaf hawkeye
Who?
Ned dropping the death star pains me every time I watch homecoming, as a lego collector with that set it is comedic yet agonizing to watch that scene 5:02
and the pieces he may have lost .................
What’s worse, they had to rebuild it all over again for every take. I feel bad for whoever had to do that.
My brother and I, when we were around 9, once accidentally dropped a lego Death Star. We were dumb to think we could carry it upstairs, didn’t even get a few steps away from the table before we dropped it. The pain is personal.
Lol I have the same icon on Letterboxd
I don't get it
Updated title: We've Been Taking the MCU Infinity Saga for Granted.
The fact that characters are mostly consistent through DIFFERENT directors is a goddamn feat in itself. Star Wars destroyed that in 3 freaking sequels LOL
And there were only two directors there! Haha
hell, not even the original trilogy was that consistent, remember in Empire Strikes Back when Leia kissed Luke and in Return Of The Jedi when Luke reveals that she is his sister, she's like "i have always known"........yeah unfortunately i do remember that
i think star wars is a hugely overrated franchise
both star wars, terminator and alien all have 2 good movies, 1/2 alright ones but mostly garbage after that, yet star wars is held high above the rest
Kind of weird how much love SW gets despite its inconsistency and how only 2.5 of the movies are considered universally good
@@joeyjerry1586 Its the ideas, timeless characters, lore and how they revolutionized film that make Star wars special. Your forgetting about the shows, books, legends etc, and Empire Strikes Back is called by many as the greatest sequel and one of the greatest films ever made
After seeing Endgame i can only say, this part of the MCU, from 2008 to 2019 has been incredible.
We're not going anywhere from here
Crazy how i was 8 in 2008 and later this year I'm turning 18
I was in 4th grade when the first Iron Man came out. I am now back in school looking to get my second college degree and I just saw Endgame today. It's amazing how a lot of us have literally grown up watching these characters on screen.
@@Hydrograd57 i was in 11th grade when Iron Man came out. Now I'm a teacher. Time flies bro
Rey Rivera yeah, my brother was always more into the mcu than i was, but it hurt to realize that i was sitting down to watch endgame at 20 and it had all started before i was even out of elementary /:
I just wanna say this unpopular opinion about the MCU: I like Black Widow in Age of Ultron.
For those who don't know, in Age of Ultron, Black Widow revealed that when she was made infertile after graduation from the Red Room, and she hated this about herself because she want to find a lover, and build a family of her own, rather than spend her entire life fighting. Contrary to popular belief, this actually makes her a more stronger character, because then, when Ultron comes around, we know how much of a burden she carries, and we know how much she wishes things could be different, then we watch her put her self-hatred aside, and help her team save the world anyway.
After reading this, it makes more sense in Endgame where she decided to sacrifice her life to get the Soul Stone instead of Clint/Hawkeye. Since Clint had a family to return to, Natasha never had since she treats the Avengers as her family.
That's also heartbreaking.
@@TheSHIELDCap Gee, I never thought of it like that. This makes her sacrifice even more heartbreaking, as you asid.
I didn't have a problem with Black Widow in AoU, but Brutasha makes me puke at how bad it is. Only problem with that scene for me is it was used to further the Brutasha garbage, urrgghh! Whenever someone asks me what I hate most about MCU films, I say Brutasha.
@@fiction5559 Brutasha must have been very bad, because I don’t remember that character. 🤷♂️
@@TommyTallNose HA!
there is also the fact that the mcu fanbase isn't in the middle of a civil war *cough* star wars
while the MCU fanbase can still be bad, this is 100% true
Nah, iron man haters and cap lovers vs cap haters and iron man lovers is still going on
@@HeadInTheCIouds Oh, yes, I forgot about them.
@@josejimtharayil1511 but for real though FUCK CAP, TEAM IRON MAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!
@@HeadInTheCIouds indeed
I love how they changed Thanos' motives for the movie. In the comic, he was fighting Deadpool for Death's affection. That's why he dusted half the universe. To impress a girl. Lmao.
RayVanDawn mega simp
The comic book creator of thanos was mad at marvel for changing his motives. I'm thankful marvel change thanos motives. His comic book motives was stupid. Made him look like a bitch.

👏
HEY! are you that Spider Guy from TH-cam?
*Call me Spider-Man!*
Ok Spider-Man! Do a flip!
**Flips**
YEAHHHH!!!
oh yeah spider man
The fact that the story and characters in these movies are so consistent between so many different writers and directors is incredible. I mean look at what happened to star wars with only 2 different directors... almost completely ran the franchise into the ground and upset the entire fanbase
Thank goodness for Dave Foloni. The poor man's back must be breaking.
Did run it into the ground
Flashforward to 3 years later and I think they've been taking us for granted.
Yea I don't think this movie holds up as well with some of the garbage phase 4 has given us.
@@xstatik8160 I blame disney tbh
Well predicted lol
Yes. 3000 times yes. The only 2 things that make me sad are:
1: I will never be able to experience this for the first time again.
2: I dont think I will see the like in my lifetime.
Omg you literally made me cry when I saw 3000, you would only understand if you watched endgame.
Now I'm feeling emotional 3000 times😢
no one will ever see anything like this ever again. this was a one time thing
I'm not kidding the first mcu movie I saw was infinity war and I only watched it because it was such a big deal. I loved it so much I went back and watched everything from the first iron man and have rewatched them all multiple times since then. I wish I knew how good they were sooner
Ok but many things like this exist already? Fantastic stories are out there and you can find a ton that will amaze you the same way
Tonys character in Civil War makes Age of Ultron worth existing
I agree, and I actually liked having a laid back funny villain who seemed to do Google searches when thinking and getting things like.
Humans and... Smaller humans...
CHILDREN.
but I also agree the end fight wasn't what was needed.
But yes the aftermath of the movie was needed. Plus I love Tony Stark, he's my favorite.
@@krat2242 I really like Ultron, he was entertaining to watch but there's a lot wrong with that movie. It's the mcu movie I have watched the least. Ultron deserved a much better movie to be in
@Chase Cardiff it was meh for me. I think Ultron should have started out as a "good guy" and then over the course of the movie he becomes evil. Or atleast after the first 30 minutes rather then be instantly evil.
P
@@krat2242 I enjoy most scenes in that movie, but Ultron himself wrecks it for me. It's his weird metal lips, if he just had a face like his minions that lit up when he talked it would have been better. But because of his design, all I could think about when he talked was his weird gross lips, and Robert California from the office during some of his weirder jokes. The best scene of him in the movie imo is when he interrupts the party at the beginning.
I love that scene in Far From Home at the beginning where we hear the student announcements going, "Are the Avengers even a thing anymore? Does anyone have a plan?" and the very fact that they asked these questions confirming that they have a plan.
Now imagine so much thoughts went into making the Disney Star Wars movies.
We would live in a better world now...

@@thescottishanimeguy9946 I dissent.
Captain America's trilogy ends wonderfully. The series starting with him saying "I can do this all day" and ending had the same quote.
It means that though he had to give up the authorities he had served for a long time, and had to become a vigilante to bring justice and safety to the world, on the inside, he is still the same kid from the street corner of Brooklyn.
Jeffrey Suen I know

Also both times he is saved by Bucky.
@@dsilva369 Not really in Civil War, Cap saves Bucky after Bucky lost his arm.

Alex Law its been two years what are you on about
Loki 2020 Joker Infinity War come out almost 2 years ago.
The look in Thanos’ eyes is incredible, just the surprise and mild shock. It’s one of the best moments in the MCU for sure
Homecoming took “average” to a whole different level. Tom and the guy who played Ned constantly forgot their lines with each other so the director decided to just let them say whatever they wanted, so all of Peter and Ned’s interactions are totally unscripted.
It's called improvisation, and it works when the actors have chemistry with each other. There's a reason why Tobey and Kirsten never did improv, or hell Tobey and James
@@shadowstrike234 Too bad screenwriters feels like they just worked hard for nothing when the actors improvised their performance.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 improvisation is a sign of great acting and chemistry with the cast. Sometimes the screenwriters themselves opt for the cast to improvise. It's not a sign of a film being "average".
it honestly feels like you're grasping at straws to get Homecoming down just cuz it wasn't the same as Tobey or the comics. Sometimes a little deviation is warranted.
@@shadowstrike234
People don't want to admit that Homecoming is more of a "coming-of-age" story and MCU Spider-Man is straight up from Ultimate Spider-Man, in feel and tone.
with WandaVision, mcu is even getting better and more experimental.
And more real
Falcon as well
@@cybercery5271 And Loki
Yea it seemed like totally different genera compared to the other films.
Loki also
Rocket is such a good character, and i haven't seen anyone notice how much he has grown over the years, he deserves more love from the fandom
Ah, even this comment didn’t get much attention. I’m crying in my room right now realizing that these characters are so real so consistent and just...so *human* it’s amazing. I’m so happy I got to experience this.
Rocket is one of the most relatable characters to me. He acts tough and looks for a fight because he feels flawed and wants to hide it. He gets angry and frustrated when trying to explain his feelings even if he grows close to who he's talking to. I don't know, I just love that CGI raccoon.
He's good furry representation
One of my favorite rocket scenes is from Guardians 2 with Yondu on the ship after they escape when Yondu calls him out for being a dick all the time.
Rocket is probably one of my favorite characters from the mcu and honestly I’m sad how much he’s over looked

@@JeremyWilliamson ok but the title is a statement from the audience's perspective, not from theirs. In several previous videos on this channel they complement the mcu. But i can sorta see what you mean the title is slightly clickbait-y
@@isaacgalvan4997 It's the title of THEIR video, so it's THEIR TITLE. I understand the point of it... but actually they only had 1-2 video(s) about the MCU in the past year... 1 about Captain Marvel being average, and some other that had nothing to do with any movie. I went through their uploads to make sure of it. From appearance the title was "WE'VE been taking the MCU for Granted" when they actually were.. because they've talked so much crap about the MCU... but in the actual video... they make it sound like they're defending the MCU now.

I feel like not enough people pay enough attention to Dr. Strange’s emotional moments. Take the end of No Way Home for example.
MASSIVE ENDGAME SPOILERS:
Iron Man's death in Endgame meant more than just one of my favorite characters dying. It symbolized the end of my childhood. I was twelve when I saw the first Avengers movie. I'm 19, approaching 20 now. That's a little under 1/3 of my life spent loving and caring about the MCU and its characters. The fact that Iron Man now is dead, also means that my childhood has come to a close.
First Harry Potter, and now the Avengers. The only thing left for me to say is this: It's been the ride of a lifetime, and I praise my lucky stars that I was born in just the right time to grow up with these movies.
The loss of childhood, youth and innocence really is one of the most melancholic feelings in the world.
19 to 20 here as well dude, this is my childhood and the end of an era
I agree. For me Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the sunset of my childhood while Endgame is almost the sunset of my teenage days. Even though Steve is my favourite Avenger, Natasha and Tony's deaths hit me because it meant that it has come to an end. But yes, now Steve is old and he'll die of an old age. That makes me sad (but also happy because he finally got his happy ending with Peggy).
I'm really grateful to be born in 2000.
Samridhi Sharma Same but Thor was always my favorite. Then Iron man. That scene with “Proof that iron man has a heart” honestly made me cry. Not to be a pussy but 6 tears ran down my face as I saw an icon fall. An absolute genius who was lucky enough to see his father once more before finally passing away. I like the story of Tony more than any other including my favorite.
@@morseeinhd9898 I agree. Tbh, Tony had the best arc because he was the one who changed the most. And I was really saddened by his death.
The reason I like Steve more is because he's a symbol of liberty, freedom, ideals, loyalty, equality, values, dreams, principles and justice, and I want to have many of his good qualities. Plus I can relate with him more than I relate with any other character.
The care for these characters

Is Marvel a sorta badly written character? Yeah, but is she a Mary Sue? NO!
If you want more info, I suggest you watch OSP's Trope Talk on Mary Sue's.
@Ishir Mehra omg I watched that video and really does explain a Mary Sue really well!
Tell me the theater didn't audibly gasp when that dust came on screen in the Endgame cold open
The way you described each of these characters so deeply and emotionally is what proves that Marvel comics and movies are perfect.
"This is all the same! We want something different"
Eternals comes out and feels completely different
"This doesn't feel like a Marvel movie! I came for a Marvel movie!"
No. It’s Boring.
Just being different doesn't mean its good, you still have to make an engaging story and characters which Eternals failed to do.
The MCU is the most expensive and successful soap opera the world has ever known.
exactly how I describe superheroes and comics in general. the story doesn't really matter, what matters is the unique character developments, the story can go as batshit crazy as needed to fuel said development.
No dude, your talking about the arrowverse
Yeah, it beats the Saw franchise at being a better soap opera.
Spencer Whiteway It’s a million dollar Sitcom. Just look at the audience’s reaction when anything happens. It literally is like watching the movie with the actual sitcom audience and canned laughter (Don’t get me wrong, I love Marvel movies, but this is something I’ve noticed).
Not really. Because I dislike Soap Operas. The MCU is actually pretty good in side-stepping the usual soap opera tropes. It is more a modern serial. And I love it for it!
Born too late too see Dinosaurs.
Born too early to explore Galaxies.

MCU is great, yes. But, income and quality doesn't goes together. High quality doesn't mean high income and vice versa. I've read a character with even bigger development than characters in MCU. As a story, i don't think MCU is the best. But, as a hero movie, and a movie, it does stand as one of the best
mad props for acknowledging Nebula while talking about the greater MCU. she's madly overlooked.

Can’t wait for its sequel!
Endgame is 2 years old already. My back hurts.
Imagine if in endgame they defeat thanos because one of the avenger's mothers name is the same as thano'ses

@@Quackenson Lol, what? XD
They were teamed together in Avengers and Age of Ultron too?
Too bad all their efforts were futile and undermined by the progress Capt. Marvel and Wanda made in seconds.
"Black widdow was extremely engaging in her character development and friendship with cap. "
OMG thank you. I thought I was the only one who cried like a baby when *something touching* happened in endgame
Even that peanut butter sandwich scene was amazing
I cried like three separate times in Endgame. Big, ugly crying. The first time it was because I was happy. The big shot of all the heroes with Ant Man all giant in the background that would be a two page spread in a comic really got me.

Don't devalue yourself dumbass. You're a real fucking human being.

This movies are so immersive and good that my mom, who doesn’t even like superhero movies, enjoys watching them because of the story... and the actors
(Edit: this aged like a carton of milk left in the sun)
Id say the MCU permanently changed the general public's perception of the superhero genre. Before the MCU, you never really expected a superhero movie other than Spiderman or Batman to significantly capture the public's attention.
"Black Panther has a more engaging character arc in Civil War than his own movie."
YES. THANK YOU.
@@plam2044 I mean, he was a man of tradition, who when faced with the sins of his father, had to acknowledge that the tradition was bullshit. He also loved his father dearly, yet when, again, faced with his sins, finds himself confronted with a past he was lied about and was kept hidden from him.
The movie ends with tradition changing, but only due to the realization that those sins might've been beneficial to Wakand. If Wakandans are willing to leave their *own prince* left to rot outside of the city, than maybe those traditions were wrong in the first place.
Josh Spicer good point
@@plam2044 They got close, then had to pull the rug out from under him to continue his arc in further movies because they had to schedule infinity war.
Because Civil War was a decent movie, and shit like the weaponry in Wakanda was retconned in Infinity War...
@@jimllc That doesn't change the fact that his civilization shouldn't have been so tribal to begin with. They're supposed to be the most technologically advanced civilization in the world, they logically should've spilled across all of Africa, if not the world, much like the British did during the time of imperialism.
I'm sorry, but Wakanda doesn't make sense. Themyscira this ain't.
And shit like their trial by combat, their ancient AF weaponry (the spears and shite are stylish but they make no sense, its why the Russo Brothers retconned that shit in Infinity War), and their architectural designs really make no sense at all, and the fact that only the black panther can have the juice from the flower makes no sense as well. Speaking of which, how TF did T'chala even have the Black Panther powers in Civil War? Its like the writers forgot that movie existed when writing Wakanda, it just feels so divorced from the previous source material while ignoring all sorts of other considerations in terms of how a massively superior civilization would've grown.
Its still not as offensive as Captain America's writing quality (frankly, that movie is on par with The Predator from 2018), but its not exactly the best that's come out of Marvel. Its maybe a bit better than Thor 2, and that's only because of the visuals and the chemistry of the actors.
Personally, after watching Endgame, I feel like they could make no more MCU movies and I wouldn't mind. It was such a great ending.
Scott Taylor i agree i feel like it’ll be really hard to live up to how good endgame was
Yeah, but marvel knows this is a cash cow so it will keep going for a long time.
Mattheu Mortel
Galactis Next Villian
@@boiz9552 that would definitely be worth it if they can make us invested as much as we were with the characters from the infinity saga.
Keem Since Disney recently bought the X-Men and Fantastic 4, they will most likely incorporate these characters into the MCU. Personally, I hope Galactus will be the next villain.
I love how James gives an truly emotional sendout to the MCU, then 3 years later memes and talks about why phase 4 took us for granted, backtracking on everything he said. He still said he loved phase 1-3 like he did then, but what phase 4 did, you can hear the pure disappointment he tries to hide.
I know this video was made like 2 years ago but it still is, to me, one of the best videos on youtube. It so perfectly captures the heart of the MCU and I think I watch about once a month lmao
we have winter soldier and thor ragnarok.
and people still think mcu movies are the same.
i-
both are glorious in wildly different ways, exactly
The formula is the same, painfully the same. But the DC fan boys would take every shot to discredit Marvel and therefore, here we are about the All Marvel Movies Are The Same theory.
@@iamthesenate5769 Nothing wrong with a formula, as long as the formula isn't everything tou have. The MCU works so well because its formula is only a foundation. Some franchises/companies forget that just because the foundation is the same it doesn't mean the house you build on it has to have the exact same walls and doors and interior paint.

@Roselline est98 When Iron Man was first introduced, I hated him, he was arrogant, spoiled, and didn't care for nobody but himself or Pepper, but over the years he grew on me as he developed, I'll always like Captain America better, but if you can make me cry at a death for a character I initially hated, you know you have a good franchise, I'll always love Marvel. (Note: It's pretty hard to make me cry too)
@Roselline est98 I feel like it's gonna be a cathartic cry we've all been waiting for Marvel to hold our hand throuhh.
Thanos is the real loss
He also probably wanted to end his contract
Person: do you like MCU?
Me: Like it?
Me:LIKE IT?!!
I FREAKING LOVE IT
I love how your voice gets softer and softer throughout the video as if you’re slowly falling more and more in love with it as you go
Avengers: Endgame might not be the best movie ever made, but in my opinion it’s the best conclusion/ sequel to any movie ever made. Seeing the grand finale to 20+ movies end so perfectly, it’s amazing. It’s one of my top movies for sure.
It was fine for me. Had a lot of potential tho. The pacing was not great and it had other issues like a rushed ending, but it was still enjoyable.
If daredevil was in it, it would be 3000 times better
BaconSauce was that an “I love you 3000” reference?
I love that Movie as much as I love infinity war (which is a whole lot) but I can't whacth them because then I'll cry
In my opinion it is the best movie I've ever seen
I'm really glad James Gunn got rehired. Guardians 3 would just feel so off if he wasn't directing it.
People gotta stop getting trigger because of what someone said 8 years ago and apologized for.
@@dariansund8952 Hear, hear. Though with Gunn, there was strong evidence to suggest that he may have actually been involved in ped0philic activity, but there was also no proof. I'll try to take his return as a good thing; whatever you think of all the allegations popping up these days, I do think it's really unpleasant when you have a fine actor like Spacey suddenly have his image and career get ruined out of nowhere; it could happen to anyone at anytime, and it's proven to be a tool that can be used against people like Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh.
@@caleb6755 No. There. Wasn't. He made jokes about kids, which dozens of fucking people make jokes about and clearly aren't pedos.
I just lit a fire in this comment section, so I'll go for the easy thing to agree on: Kevin Hart got unfairly treated. There ya go.
No real pediphile would eve take to the internet and tell everyone about there vile desires about children.
Watching the falcon and the winter soldier series now, it makes me realize that disney does an amazing job of character development no matter who the character is; the villan, the hero, or even just Sam's sister.
This aged well; glad marvel kept making good characters that drive the plot not big spectacle.

I think the reason a lot of people assume that there’s no depth of emotion to the mcu is that they think intelligent, emotional writing, acting, directing and massive cgi action scenes are mutually exclusive. A movie can be fun and on a massive scale while still making people feel and think.

Vegitarian breakfast chicken Go undermine some other masterpiece like Logan. Actually don’t do that grow up and stop worshipping Justice League!
@@maclain728 I don't like the main dc movies either. Really both are terrible. Endgame was nothing but one big anticlimax that lasted way too long, and there was not suspense in infinity war because all of the characters who had died had other movies in the works. I could do a better job than how Disney did it.
Vegitarian breakfast chicken Well sorry to say mate but you’re in the vast vast minority. The film was loved not only by critics but fans as well. I don’t think I’ve seen so many people cry at once as when Iron Man died on opening night. It made $1.2 billion in 3 days cause there was so much hype surrounding it and became the highest grossing film ever cause people had to see it again and again and again and did it at a time the box office was flooded unlike TWA and Avatar. So I feel like your opinion is moot and you obviously couldn’t have done a better job. It’s more important to satisfy the 99% than one idiot who has no idea what he’s talking about!
@@braindeadborgerboi8736 oh you're so QuiRKy anD diFFerENt
Rocket said he can't lose more but all of his friends and only family dusted.
Nebula finally said that they were sisters but all of sudden she lost her only sisters.
Then at the beginning of Endgame, youve seen something that you never thought it could happen, Rocket and Nebula sitting side by side holding hand and consumed by the lost they both had.
From two creatures that born and raised thro the hate and mean, become two creatures that willing to sacrifice for them family.
Tell me what's not beautiful from this development. We love MCU, Stan Lee, Kevin Faige, and Russos, 3000! ♡
Rocket deserves more recognition!!!
Something no one ever talks about is when Tony Stark calls Rocket a “build-a-bear”(in Endgame) and the way he reacts,
references his Frankenstein-like backstory from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Jeez the MCU is great!
In this case, I assume Wanda Maximoff is also an example of character development. She lost her parents, brother, and Vision. I'd say that she lost so much and grew as a character. From hating Tony to fighting next to him against Thanos.

@@alexanderwang7034 *CAAAAAAAARRRRS!*
One thing I really love about the MCU is that every character is relatable in certain ways and goes through actual problems and they aren't 1 dimensional. like I used to think Captain America was some perfect goody-two-shoes. But when you get into his movies he's like a real human with emotions and human relationships
ŁĕmonTårť I agree. Watching all three Captain America movies in a row made me realize this
it is one of the reasons why marvel grew to equal standings with DC comics.
DC focuses more on beings who are above mortal beings (at least in the movies since the comics actually shows them as people like how superman was born and raised as a human and being a super hero never changed that while the movie makes him turn cold and distant).
they make every god like being detached from mortal beings in the movies.
it is the main reason that the MCU has only had 2 out of 22 movies be a lesser success when compared to the other movies of the same franchise while DCU has several lesser successes as their peak while poorly representing the characters, going away from source material and basically ignoring what true readers of the comics know and love about the character.
"come on spider-man" is such a great scene, loved that you mentioned that

coming back to this video now hurts me. marvel had so so much going for it, and disney is shitting all over it :(
Let me retitle this. 'We've been taking the Russo Brothers for granted"
Not really, they're not the only competent filmmakers in the Marvel lineup.
They're easily the best though.
@@rmj8905 Depends on your evaluation criteria. They pulled off the ensemble movies super fucking well~ but other solo films have certain flavors that you don't find in the Russos' work. Then again it's hard to put flavor into massive-scale movies like Endgame.
@@Beaver_Monday Winter Soldier is not a solo movie?
@@rmj8905 Never said is wasn't. I said other solo films, not all solo films.
Honestly this almost brought me to tears towards the end,and that's big since the only thing that's made me cry in the last ten years was Adam Sandlers click.
Father and Son playing in the background probably helped
That scene with his dad was so sad I swear.
Click is criminally underrated just for the Henry Winkler scene and the 'Family comes first' line
That felt like the last movie where he gave a fuck
No shame in that
amazing how an analysis video manages to put me in tears. truly incredible work each video I watch from this channel I fall more and more in love. the MCU is unlike any other
Man, watching this after the "The MCU Has Been Taking Us For Granted" video really makes me sad about where Marvel is now. Yet at the same time it kinda fills me with hope that they will one day realize what made these stories so special and return to that formula. Here's hoping...
I almost cried when you showed Gamora getting thrown off and then I started laughing so hard I cried anyways.
Oh my god, i was just thinking the same thing...i teared up *SPLAT* PFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHA....oh fuck ;(
Amazing comedic timing that made everything that was bad become good, and then worse again.
Same.
When cap said “earth just lost its best defender” talking about tony wow talk about water under the bridge
He still respects the man no matter what
It took me a while to realize he'd been talking about Tony, I thought he was referring to Thor since at that point they must all think him dead
Whatever their differences, Steve never stopped believing in Tony. They'd stopped one crisis together, after all.
Steve isn't stupid. Who spent the last several years preparing against an unknown force? Who flew a missle away from NYC? I mean he's not just a genius. He's a genuine hero and the best chance the universe has.
They kinda had something similar in Spiderman Homecoming when Tony said "if Cap wanted to lay you out, he would've"
Tony's character arc is the best but most heartbreaking. A selfish guy, end up *sacrificing* his own life for others. By far, no one can come close to him. MCU won't ever be the same without these heroes. Just won't.
That was so beautifully said, you just gave me a whole new outlook on the MCU
"The only one that comes close is harry potter"
Which has also been ruined by the writer changing things for no reason
Smugumin and the writer outing herself as a transphobe.

It is so unbelievably funny that you now made a video called The MCU has been taking us for granted.
For the MCU, it's so consistent that it's easier to point out all the inconsistencies (whenever they pop up, and most of these inconsistencies are just different actors, most notably, Edward Norton as Bruce Banner getting recast with Mark Ruffalo) than to collect all of the connecting threads throughout the series.
