My thoughts on Avengers: Endgame

I don't have any particularly new or gripping insights into the movie, but if you're curious, here's what I thought.

I'm glad you found lots to enjoy! And I love Thor so much at this point that it overrides the bad feelings I have about the body shaming. Doesn't erase them, but I just love him so much, and now there's more of him to love. *snuggles him*

and I feel like there was a value judgment made where the person with kids deserved to live more, which I find icky.

I can see that. I think I read it more pragmatically-like, of course they were going to fight for who got to sacrifice themselves, and of course, Clint was never winning in a fight with Natasha. But the whole thing about it not being able to be undone is B.S. and I refuse to accept it. Go, fandom, you're up!

*nods* I feel the fat-jokes were balanced by the true emotion and vulnerability that Thor allowed himself to display. He was clearly not okay after everything that happened, and I liked that we got see him so raw.

Ohh, I really like that reading. Thanks!

THIS. You can bring everyone back but her? No, unacceptable.

I thought ScarJo was signed for a Black Widow movie? Unless it's set pre End Game?

I think the Black Widow movie is an origin story. (I'm hoping we get to see her trained by the Winter Soldier, but it's probably a long shot).

The writers claim her death can't be undone because they got the soul stone, but cap is returning all the stones so ...

Yeah, I had heard there was a Black Widow movie in the works, but I don't think it's a done deal. I don't keep track of all the Hollywood news, so others may know more.
