That's gotta be at least 45 hours worth of films.

42 not counting Captain Marvel, at least according to the playlist I have...

I just finished my rewatch yesterday with another screening of CaptMarvel, so more power to you. But I wasn't that crazy to start the week before endgame came out, I started almost a month ago...

Something came up on my rewatch, and sorry if this has already been discussed.

So thanos had already killed half the population of a number of planets (like Gamora's) before he got all the stones. Were those planets exempt from the snap of did they get doublesnapped?

We don't truly know how widespread the snap is or its effects on other planets. Was it truly 50% universe wide or did some planets have more taken while others less?

It's 50% throughout the universe, though I can't remember if it's 50% for every planet, or if its just random.

Or if his own crew is halved?

Rewatching IW, Thor (who speaks Groot) introduces Cap to Groot by saying "This is a friend of mine, Tree"

So Groot's real name when translated from Groot to English is Tree.

He also calls rocket, "rabbit"

In The Avengers, Thor asks Coulson about bilgsnipes and is surprised to learn they don't exist on Earth. He's clearly ignorant of Earth's fauna and could therefore easily confuse rabbits and raccoons.

However, Thor is fluent in Groot since he took it as an elective in Asgard. Being fluent, he would know the Groot word for tree and realize that is Groot's real name.

I've been rewatching the entire thing, and some of this is just terrible. Not necessarily unbelievable, but just lunacy.

  • In Thor, the Dark World they couldn't come up with a better weapon in 5000 years?
  • Is having a one-on-one fistfight really the best system of selecting a king? That's asinine. I can't think of a worse method.

I've been doing a rewatch of most of the Marvel movies, though I'll admit that I skipped by a few of them. My appreciation for Thor Ragnarok has grown even more. What a fun movie.

It's just so stupidly fun.

It's also interesting, rewatching the older films, to see how they started to try making Thor a bit more of the comic relief in small ways leading up into Ragnarok. He's got some great lines in the Avengers ("He's adopted") and Age of Ultron ("...tales of sprained deltoids and...gout").

I rewatched Iron Man for the first time in a while last night...and that ending is still so damn cool.

No, but I did say "Holy *****!" in a very loud whisper.

I can't remember... in May 2008, just before Iron Man hit theaters, did we know Marvel was planning a cinematic universe? I guess a more specific question would be - was the Nick Fury end-credit scene a surprise because we didn't yet know they were planning the MCU, or was Nick Fury himself the surprise, but going into Iron Man, we at least already knew they were going to attempt some kind of MCU?

I remember The Incredible Hulk released a month later in June - so did we already know that was going to connect, or no? I know the Stark cameo in the credits was a pretty big surprise, but I can't remember when, exactly, it was that we knew Marvel was going to attempt to connect all their movies.

It's also worth noting that Disney didn't buy Marvel until the following summer - summer 2009 - and that Iron Man was a Paramount movie and The Incredible Hulk was a Universal movie. So before Disney, was the plan to somehow connect Marvel movies across various studios? Either way, the Disney acquisition didn't happen until a year later, and then Iron Man 2 - in 2010 - was the first Marvel movie that truly felt it was trying to set up a universe. Then Thor and Captain America finally hit a year after that, in 2011.

I'm just trying to remember the exact chain of events and what we knew when. Basically, I can't remember if I went into Iron Man thinking, "Oh, this looks like a fun stand-alone movie" - or - "Oh, it'll be cool to see how this potentially kicks off a bunch of Marvel movies down the line."

Also of note, The Dark Knight released two months after Iron Man, became a pop culture phenomenon, and pretty much all Marvel talk faded away for a while, which is probably another reason I'm having trouble remembering the details.

I think Iron Man was mostly considered to be a stand alone by the public, an attempt by Marvel to make something out of one of the few properties it hadn't sold off. Most people at the time couldn't even tell you who was in the Avengers.

Some at the time were making a big deal out of a brief freeze frame in Stark's shop where you could possibly make out something that kind of looked a little like Cap's shield. I blew it off, thinking people were seeing something that wasn't there. Guess I was wrong.

I'm not a comic book fan so I remember thinking, what's the big deal? Even after the hammer scene in IM2, I thought that I really don't care about Thor. It wasn't until the first Avengers that that I got the vision and went all in on the MCU.

I didn't even realize it was one big story until Civil War. I just thought they were in their own standalone stuff and had some crossovers.

I also remember thinking the closing scene of Iron Man was badass. RDJ became my favorite actor at that point, and still is

Yeah, I don't rememeber thinking much about the overall nuts and bolts of it, but when Fury said "Avengers" I went bonkers.

I think it was after Incredible Hulk with Stark showing up in the end credits. Iron Man was the only one I didn't see in theaters when it came out, but A&M had a showing in the Rudder theater of it later that fall.

In 2006 & 2007, the big superhero movies were X-Men 3, Superman Returns, Spiderman 3 & Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. That's a lot of lame superhero movies and those were the big budget ones (i.e not Ghost Rider or Elektra)

Yes, Batman Begins had been awesome and everyone was stoked for The Dark Knight, but the general consensus was that the genre had run their course and any superhero movie not directed by Christopher Nolan would be average at best.

One of my friends mocked the idea of watch another Hulk movie by saying "Why would I want to see that? All Hulk does is get mad and break things. That's not a superpower; I do that all the time!"

I remember being surprised not that Iron Man was awesome, but that it was good. A movie about a lesser known superhero (compared to Batman, Spiderman, Superman or Wolverine) that starred an actor with a drug problem seemed like a recipe for disaster. A lot of people thought the movie would suck, then it came out and shocked everyone.

The idea of a cinematic universe was not on anyone's mind at all.
