I was trusting this forum to help keep my expectations in check.....

Keep them in check, Endgame is “Only” going to open to 265m or so DOM

The way you all are commenting on Endgame after seeing it, it makes me wonder if this movie could get the "capstone" Oscar like Return of the King did...22 movies with a final amazing delivery could be the type of thing that finally gets a super movie a best Oscar...b/c if it isn't this one, which one would it ever be?:)  

 

Of course, it probably depends on what's coming out this fall...

 

PS - I'm kidding, but only kinda:)...Black Panther did open the door to supers able to get nominated last year...and you all are making it sound like this movie is the ultimate achievement (don't tell me til May 7th at 10pm EST:)...

 

Eh. Depends on the competition. If a film stands as an artistic achievement like The Hurt Locker did, Endgame could have the same fate as Avatar. Just last year, a nameless Academy member compared Black Panther to "the stuff that oozes out of the drainage pipes of fast food restaurants." So basically, two narratives will wage war with one another: the narrative that "a win for Endgame would rejuvenate the public's interest in the Oscars," and the narrative that "Best Picture Oscars simply do not go to films like Endgame." It'll be interesting to see what happens. I think it'll at least get a nomination. Never say never in regards to a win.

Endgame is not getting a best picture nomination as much as I'd like it too

Most films to place top 2 WW do, and the reviews are pretty hot. If A+ comes through and/or a lot of Oscar bait this year sucks 

I’ll at least give it a small chance

Endgame is not gonna get Best Picture noms. The 3rd act alone will give Hollywood elitists the fits. Zoe Saldana spilled the tea on this. A bunch of them are allergic to CBMs and thinks Marvel actors are sell-outs. BP was a zeitgeist and was treated as an exception, hence the noms.

[HouseOfTheSun]

BP I don’t think has a shot to happen

 

but the way people are talking...maybe adapted screen play?

I don't care if the Russos' next movie is a slow romantic drama. I'm there for whatever they do next and for the rest of their career. These men have earned it.

 

Haven't seen EG yet by the way, but I don't need to.

My sources tell me they're finally moving on to their passion project: a gritty sequel to their 2006 hit You, Me and Dupree.

The Telegram users had an internal poll and we all voted that the greatest MCU movie of all time was Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

 

I just figured I’d let the rest of BOT users know which movie we’ve chosen as the champion MCU movie.

No clue what happened to him, but he's a marvel die hard, I remember him from HULK 2003 flopping...I hope he is enjoying his shining moment

I tend to stay away from the threads of blockbusters the majority of the time, mainly due to lack of interest, so I consider it good fortune to have little to no stakes or knowledge in the conversations surrounding the affairs of those who are susceptible to committing bannable offenses.

Any chance we get 4 weeks in a row with 3 CBMs in the top 10? 2nd Down and 3rd locked. 4th weekend may be possible.

I really enjoyed that link to be honest.

 

My favorite part was seeing people already in 2007 saying "comic book fatigue" was going to hurt Iron Man.

 

Most of those people predicting seemed clueless. I was not into CBM back then, but enjoyed them well enough and I remember hearing talk about IM 6+ months out.
