According to an article I just read, Disney posted and then deleted that Avengers: Endgame was going to be 3 hours 2 minutes long.Hope there is a break for bathroom dash/avoid numb legs

Not to mention, I think the Thor-bath and a lot of the stupid crap in Age of Ultron was mandated by Ike Perlmutter, and... that's why Ike no longer has any authority over the films.
Special Look -- I'm excited. This is mainly just because I am so excited to see these people again. I know they're gonna win, I have no suspense about or interest in the plot itself (curiosity about some of the whys and hows but not much beyond that). I just want to see them all together.

Charles, I'm pretty sure the one trick pony is been taken out back and shot.

~looks up from eating some horse~ Oh damn! I am so sorry! ~goes back to eating the dead horse~
Hey it's not my pony! Besides there's still plenty of other Deus Ex Machina for Thanos and the rest to use later on in the MCU.
Is there another horse around here? I am still a hungry Dragon.

The moment of Rocket looking sad towards the camera... I'm pretty sure I'll shed a tear. I cry when Rocket cries.
*nod* The Guardians are goofballs I never take seriously, and then suddenly I am weeping over them. I think I've cried watching GotG and Vol 2 more than any other Marvel film. (Didn't even shed a tear during Infinity War.)
All I know when they eliminate Thanos (because keeping him locked up might be problematic), they'd damn sure better get Kang. :p
Another important question:
Who's got tickets for opening night?
Priorities people, priorities!
*raises hand*
Yep...got my tickets for opening night. Thankfully the local chain is a lot smaller than AMC, so I didn't run into any crashing websites when purchasing them

We might be waiting a bit. The people in charge decided to inconvenience us and release the movie while my daughter is still away at college. If she doesn't get a chance to see it there (there's a wee, family-run movie theater in Mount Vernon, IA - smallest one I've ever been in), she would not forgive us for seeing it without her.

Yeah, I got my tix at a local indie theater, so no problems. I thought about reserving a spot at one of those fancy places where they bring you food into the theater, but I check initially--plenty of seats--decided to think about it because the seats are expensive, checked again... only one seat next, right in front of the screen. Decided I'd rather support the local theater, pay less, and show up early enough to get a good seat. (Lathiira, I'd say come along but arranging transport would be tricky on a Thursday.)

I did after spending a hour+ waiting on Fandango just to see a error message I went directly to the theater and got the tickets for the 25th.
Since we have a single theater in this town... I'll probably wait a week. Not like it'll be going anywhere.

But if you wait a week than the total time you can see it in the theaters will be down...;)
I think the only Marvel movie I paid to see twice in theaters was Avengers... and I didn't particularly want to, I just got roped into a group viewing.
I think I have seen about half of the MCU movies twice in theaters, including all the Avengers movies. So I am expecting to see Endgame twice as well

Oh, I'm quite covered for Friday. My sister and I have been planning for this for weeks, and I work Thursday night. Last overnight shift forever and I'm the only support manager but I want to be there anyway :)

I think she is going to fulfill both Mephisto and that rule, but honestly I still have no idea how they are gonna get their.

Yeah I hate trailers that spoil everything. (like pretty well every terminator trailer past the first.)
I feel like I am already getting a rough sense of some of the plot beats, unless the Russo's are deliberately messing with the trailers (which they have done before...)
I think it was mentioned before, supposedly most of the trailer footage is from early in the movie. I think the off-hand comment by the Russo's was 20 minutes, but that seems a bit rushed, but I would easily believe 35-40 minutes.
Especially if the fancy new white suit endeavor turns out to be a failure (whatever the first thing they try is going to fail, obviously). Since they've given so many clues about the Quantum Realm, there's a distinct possibility that it plays a role in the movie, and even a big role, but it turns out to not work as a solution.
my own speculation is that they go after Thanos early on, but somehow fail, perhaps resulting in even more major character deaths...

Anyone else wondering if this will have a post credit scene since this is the big ending of the story?
I am figuring they will several post credit scenes to set up the future...my hope is scene of four people stealing a space ship....

I like the idea of the whole thing being post credits. :) But given there are more Marvel movies coming out, I expect we will see the usual "So-and-So Will Return in 'So-And So: the Soening.'" Almost definitely Spider-Man, as Charles mentions, and maybe the official Black Widow announcement (she says hopefully).

The easy thing to do would be to drop in a scene setting up SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME, as that's out ten weeks later.
The other options would be something setting up THE ETERNALS or BLACK PANTHER 2, which I believe enters production shortly.
It occurs to me that we don't know what MCU movies are coming out in 2020, which feels a bit nuts given how far out they planned everything last time. We know there's ETERNALS, SHANG-CHI, BLACK PANTHER 2, CAPTAIN MARVEL 2, DR. STRANGE 2, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 and (presumably) a fifth AVENGERS film to tie up whatever Phase 4 is going to be about, but that's about it, apart from the fact that X-MEN and FANTASTIC FOUR are probably not going to be involved. THOR 4 is a possibility, but apparently Hemsworth only wants to do it if Waititi directs, and Waititi is apparently going to be making the live-action AKIRA which sounds like a monster project that's going to devour him for a good 3-4 years.
Kevin Fiege Recently told Io9 that there were no plans to have the X-men show up in Phase 4.
I assume Black Widow will be the next movie after Spiderman: Far from Home, given they have cast that and I think it's about to go into Production.
Honestly I am waiting as much right now for the big post Endgame media event they will probably be doing to announce the Phase 4 movies, almost as much as I am Endgame itself.
Oh, and rumors I have seen circulating today are saying we are going to get a Disney + Streaming show with Hawkeye and Kate Bishop!
I would too if I didn't know what was going to happen after you fight Thanos and you still won't commit to Kang and/or Galactus...

With the Fox deal complete, the Fantastic Four would be much easier to drop in to the MCU than the huge cast of the X-Men. Plus Skrulls are already in now. If there's time travel in A:E, that so quickly following the Snappening might be the cosmic signal/ripples that signals Kang, Annihilus, or even Galactus ("What the Hela is going on around C-53?!"). IMO, I'd be neat if post-Endgame, an interdimensional ship appears/crashes on the MCU Earth and the Fantastic Four disembarks at their new home. (Maybe that interdimensional voyage is "The Signal"?)
Whatever the crossover plot arc for Phases 4 & 5 is revealed to be, all I want* is the heroes to need the help of Victor Von Doom. A Doom whose origin isn't locked to the FF, but he is still obsessed with them, especially Reed.
(* OK, I still also want Tatiana Maslany as Veranke.)
