Technically, it hasn't yet been confirmed that Far From Home takes place after Endgame. And Feige back-tracking the other day by saying Far From Home actually ends Phase 3 has me curious...

Given that we are not getting another Spider-man for 3 years, I bet it is more due to a time jump to explain Tom Holland's aging. Will be hard to sell him as a high school kid at the age of 25 27 or whatever.

I am betting it will be more Daily Bugle/Mary jane Watson era stuff.
I don't quite get what you're saying. Holland still looks the exact same as he did in Homecoming. I'm just saying, Far From Home could easily take place just after Homecoming - but BEFORE we first see him on the bus in Infinity War. That, and it just seems odd to me for Feige to suddenly say that Far From Home ends Phase 3. Seems like a random movie to end Phase 3 on. When, instead, maybe that's a sly hint that it actually takes place before Infinity War/Endgame, and thus the Endgame *story* truly ends Phase 3, as it (probably) should.

I still have no idea how FFH's positioning as the last Phase 3 movie has anything to do with the third Spider-Man movie, time jump or not, but whatever.

As for FFH "always" being designed to be after Endgame, are you talking about its positioning, the story itself, or both? Because we know next to nothing about the story or what it was "designed" to be. But if you're talking about positioning, I think it's more of a lack of options that anything. They couldn't get it ready any sooner, and even if they could, they had no where else to slot it.

Overall, I'd say I'm 90% convinced FFH takes place AFTER Endgame. I'm just saying, there's a possibility it MIGHT take place pre-Infinity War. We can't rule that out just yet.

That just took me to a whole new hype level which I didn't know existed.

This is a theory I have because of all the comments about tears. It's purely a theory, but I'll put it in spoiler text just in case you think it makes too much sense.

Iron Man dies, but he finds out before he dies that Pepper is pregnant. Remember how in Infinity War, Tony was telling Pepper he had a dream, and they were going to have a kid? Well, he was right. And that kid will grow up to be the next Stark to wear the suit.

That is the kind of stuff that could make me cry. Stuff involving dads and kids.

**** man this is gonna make me cry. That hasn't happened in a movie theater since the freaking Return of the King.

Coupled with the end of some fan favorites on GoT, how am I to cope

Some of the comments make me worried that they are going to use some confusing quantum realm explanation that makes little sense as to how they are going to fix things and just make up some science stuff to make the story work. We will see how it works out.

Hopefully it's not like the flash tv show where it always feels like they make up some random scientific phenomenon to save the day every time.

This is the impression I'm getting, but apparently it's so fun and fast paced that you don't mind that it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Disregard my last couple of posts completely. Jeff Wells is the old-man-yelling-at-kids-to-get-off-of-his-lawn of film critics, and if he calls Endgame "decent," this might very well be the greatest blockbuster of all time. That, and he doesn't have emotions like you or I - the man is a straight up, notorious sociopath, no exaggeration - so for him to even hint at being emotional in a movie like this is a rare thing indeed. No joke, this tweet somehow gets me more excited than anything else I've read...

If Armond White gives this a good review, you might as well give the movie the Oscar right now.

What is stunning? That he thinks Antman & the first Cap are the top MCU movies?

No, that he's giving Endgame this much praise.

Is this guy an Armond White situation? Ant Man? Really?
TCTTS

He's not an Armond White. He's a big Oscars/indie/festival guy - that type. For someone so ingrained in that crowd, it makes sense that he'd find Ant-Man to be on his favorites. It's one of the most fun and unique of the bunch.

Wells even remotely complimenting this is pretty stunning. Endgame must have done something right. I've actually read Wells for years, and sociopath is a pretty fair description of hs personality at times. He's also a sociopath that is actually one of the best pure cinema writers/critics working today. He's interesting, regardless.

Agreed. He really is an incredible writer. Sometimes I read his blog post solely to study how he writes/describes things, even if I have zero interest in the subject, and I can't say that about any other film writer.

But yeah, he can also be a total weirdo and honest to the point of crossing so many cringe-worthy lines. I can actually appreciate his blunt honesty from time to time, and he's not a bad/mean person, he's just kind of offensively kooky at times; someone who most of Film Twitter can't stand, and I see why, but I still value his opinion quite a bit.

Could this do $1B worldwide on opening weekend?

Probably not, but it'll crush Infinity War & Star Wars.

I think it can with China opening day and date. That wasn't the case for IW.

Sure this is a stupid question, but what is meant by "fan service"? I'm gathering that it's somewhere between catering to and pandering to the fans...
Brian Earl Spilner

Basically, giving moments to fans that they will love, when they are "unearned".

I don't think this was hugely common in Infinity War, and was not at ALL the case in the last episode of GoT. (A complaint that I think is more coming from people who are newer to the series.)

When you have been with characters for this long, any payoffs to their arcs are more than earned at this point.

To give a concrete example, if Agent Coulson shows up from out of nowhere and starts taking out bad guys left and right, that would be fan service. To me.

Edit: Spider-Man showing up in Civil War, also. (IMHO)
