Scarlett Johansson remains adamant that Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow's death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe should not be undone.

I watched end game. Dont remeber her dieing. Heh

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

!She dies when they go back in time to get the soul stone. Gamora was sacraficed by Thanos to originally get the stone, Black widow gives her life so Hawkeye can live the second time around.!<

Yeah, and there was a similar plot line I think in the comics in infinity war 2 where something similar happened to Gamora but she was actually >!trapped inside the soul stone and they went in to break her out !<

It’s probably shameful for me to mention it, but I don’t think that I have seen Endgame more than the single time I saw it in theaters. It’s two very long movies to keep up with and then there’s so much going on that I’m not able to focus on a single character. I think that’s one reason that I’ve really enjoyed Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Stakes are much lower and there’s several characters, but they are manageable to keep track of because most of them are just normal supporting characters and not main characters in other movies about them.

First half is pretty bad. Second half is fun.

But I hate time travel stories.

As a movie /story, infinity war is significantly better

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not only is time travel such a messy plot device (especially if it's not the primary premise of the movie), but they shot themselves in the foot for anything post endgame.

Most people think it's super hero fatigue, but I still blame the issue of "the world experienced five years, but not everyone was there for it". It's just so messy and really screwed with every story immediately after.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago

People vanishing for 5 years is fine as a concept, but time travel existing makes consequence not matter. Which is normal for comics like people say, but these aren't comics and they didn't have to dive in to the same pitfalls face first.

They also need to shut the fuck up about upcoming movies and let people just experience it

I'm with you .... I don't need every MCU movie to be about the end of the world. I would be happy watching Spiderman trying to make rent while just handling some small time hood.
