When you get into population dynamics it'd actually be interesting if exactly 50% of all species died. Because many species would then below the survival threshold and wouldn't be able to sustain their population essentially dooming them (pandas, rare marine mammals, etc). Other species would then be lowered from their population limit and would breed like crazy. Basically you'd have no pandas and species like deer, rats, or humans would just catch back up to their previous limit pretty fucking fast. All the specialists in the food web would probably be fucked and everything would really bad from an environmental point of view. Not dooming the entire world or anything, but you'd have shit like pollinators dying out and crops yielding way less or lower key animals like some bats, birds, and fish that scoop up major problem parasites dying out then general health conditions would be way worse.

Irony Thanos was the one talking about balance and that set of events would just fuck everything up because value in the environmental world isn't 1:1 species wise.

pandas are only alive cuz we have too many ppl resources and money.

if we lose 50% of the population, them zoos will be empty and we have dead pandas everywhere

look at this dumb bitch, she easily gives up her kid for a fucking apple

anyway, it'd probably be like intersellar where ppl are now assigned jobs based on applitude

Unpopular opinion probably but I disliked Endgame out of pretty much all Marvel movies I've seen.
If I had my whole life to do over again though I would have been following Doctor Strange from like the 70s instead of just really seeing him for the first time a year ago.

Endgame really did not need to be a 3 hour movie. They could have condensed the first 2 acts.

Though if you have an epic like Infinity War as the pre-cursor to the finale and it's 3+ hours the audience may have already made up their mind on the quality of Endgame before they even go into the theaters when they see it's only got a 2 hour run time.

That was part of it. It wasn't bad, I just didn't enjoy it. I think I have Marvel fatigue, which is further compounded by the fact that I haven't really seen any GREAT new movies in years. It's been pretty much Marvel or nothing.

Finally got around to watch it. Completely unspoiled too.

I guess the message is that it's fucking hard to be a single father. No matter how successful and driven you may be, it can still feel like the entire world band together against you to shit on your dreams.

yeah i agree. i was honestly pretty full tilt on the MCU right up until endgame came out and now i just don't really care at all. it's not necessarily endgame's fault as a movie, it's just that i was committed and invested in 10 years worth of movies and this was the best place to stop and get off. i'm not blaming the direction that things are taking, though the MCU seems to be only advertising it's diversity, and so i'm just not excited about anything coming up. /shrug

But you too can have the body of Thor. You just have to be patient (and wait for Endgame).

there weren't really that many amazing movies in the past 2 years either (outside MCU), only ones I can think of are Mission Impossible Fallout, Mandy, maybe Game Night/Quiet Place/Favorite/BlackKKKKKKKKKlansman but I wouldn't really call them must-sees.

I can't think of a single movie so far in 2019 that blew me away, John Wick 3 and Shazam and Hobbs and Show were good but not on the level of Logan, Mad Max, etc.

2019 has been a pretty terrible year for movies. Nothing was great. ThunderCap portion of Endgame and John Wick 3 were really good, Spiderman and the rest of Endgame were fine, Shazam and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood just weren't my thing. I haven't even gotten around to catching up on Alita or Glass. I'll probably go see Ad Astra and maybe Zombieland... and that's it for an entire year.

And yeah, if there was ever a time to hop off the Marvel bandwagon, this is it. The huge gap between Spiderman and the next non-prequel in The Eternals (if that is even a non-prequel), the reboot of both the actors and the directors, and the MCU moving into the diversity phase of Marvel Comics' history all suggest you should put the MCU in the nostalgia box alongside Schwarzenegger and Star Wars movies (sorry, the truth hurts) until proven otherwise.

There are only a handful of movies for at least two years that are any good. The ratio of shit to good movies is 1000:1.

I would add Spider-man Into the Spider Verse as a fantastic movie for the last 2 years. That one really surprised me.

Rebut:

He had Gamora’s world separated, randomly, in half. Mowing down one side, letting the other side live. I’m going to guess each world lost almost exactly 50%.

did he 50% places that he already went and did the 50% by hand to?

For me the issue with this, and also Watchmen besides some other bizarre interpretations by its film, was that the original reason for the third act was mysteriously nonsensical but it made sense in the context of a superhero universe that you don't always have all of the details for beyond what you can be told. It's difficult to argue with him trying to impress Death but trying to relate the same motivations to finite resources opens up a ton of holes in the story. If he just wants to impress Death then being a tyrant suits that, the more extreme his outcome the better he sees his chances with her; he was just killing people before to rack up body count. An altruistic endeavor with tragic results that mirrors movements that we already know have failed is only going to bring up those parallels. Then they just hit hard reset when despotic altruism wasn't going to be able to carry a three hour movie forward and zeroed out a bunch of his character development.

Would've been a better movie if farmer Thanos realized that his plan was never going to work, after the fact, and then assisted them in taking down his alt dimension self to correct his mistake plus they could've cleared out second infinity war stuff while still allowing them to wipe the slate and flush the toilet for the next phase

I just realized that Captain A is a player. He shagged Sharon Carter, then went back in time and shagged Peggy Carter.
