I know it will be available on Netflix soon. But a movie of this quality deserves to be seen on the big screen. From all accounts, it's the best Pacino and De Niro have been in years. And despite being persuaded by Scorsese to come out of retirement to do this film, Pesci is apparently amazing. May post a non-spoiler review later

[Darth Logos]

I dunno... their original ideas aren't all that great...  

"Come on Benny...  I'm not even looking......."



Pains me to see Adam Driver and Daisy wasted...

"Let's make Daisy's Jedi robes white cuz she's the good guy and represents the light (ntm they have to be very similar to what she was wearing in the first movie, otherwise no one will know it's Rey).....even though the real Jedi have been bouncin' round the galaxy wearing brown for thousands of years and she's knockin' around the desert and the jungle with no chance of getting a stain on them (it's gonna be Revenge of the Fallen all over again). And we'll have Kyle use the red Loctite to fix his dumb helmet, because red and black will emphasize that he's the bad guy. Gotta remember that those Star Wars fans aren't very smart, and they won't be able to figure this complex story out unless we help them."


We couldn't possibly keep track of characters movie to movie unless they wear the same clothes all the time.



I've never been able to figure out who those those last 2 are. They couldn't possibly be the same guy, because Luke was trying to be a good Jedi, and this wardrobe gets steadily darker as the movies progressed. That's not a very good guy thing to do.

I think this a merch decision.  They don't have to make all new molds for the figures.  Few tweaks and a paint job.   


I think he's talking about The Irishman

So let's dumb things down to a painful level so we can go cheap on merchandising even though we have more money than most small-middle sized countries.

They spend money on what makes money.... so the MCU gets all the attention.  But, insider rumor is Disney isn't doing as well as it seems.  Looks like they spread their money too far and didn't get the returns they hoped.  But we should all be "Disney Broke".

Hmmm. I might acquire LF for less than initially estimated.

I need my comic nerds.

So I was thinking this morning: How did the end of Endgame not result in a paradox that the sorcerer supreme warned Banner about? Even though the stones were replaced, some people were not; namely Nebula, Gamora, and Thanos. Without Thanos in the past, I'm not even sure New York would ever happen, and the Avengers never get together because Loki is never set to the task. Also likely that Ronin is also never set to the task of finding the power stone resulting in no story for GotG. Without Gamora, the GotG never form. And without Nebula.....we lose out on some bald, blue, crazy hotness, ntm certain instances that steer the path of the Guardians.

Paradox's DID happen.   Remember it does not alter the timeline we mainly see.... it creates alternate timelines.  So there is a Timeline where there is no Thanos after 2014.  The guardians (as we know them) will never form.   Without Thanos there is a HUGE power Vacuum that will probably result in a war between the Cosmic Baddies.   There is also a timeline where Loki wasn't taken back to Asgard after New York and hes free with the Tesseract....this is actually the Timeline they are showing in the Loki Disney+ show.    With the Multiverse coming into play I am sure we will see parts of these alternate time lines.

Imagine it this way........




--------------------------------------------- Universe 199999.......................................................................................>



This represents Universe 199999...The Main MCU Universe (199999 is its actual designation with the Comics Main Universe being 616)




Now when they went back and took the stones they did not alter the main time lines future....but created branches into alternate realities (Alt A and Alt B)
  
                                              . Alt A                                                            . Alt B
                                             .                                                                   .

Of course there were more than two branches but for sake of simplicity we'll just go with two.   When Cap went back and put the stones back almost at the exact moment they took them... it erased those branches and they ceased to exist.     But, like we said...there are at least two branches still active.  The one without a Thanos and the one where Loki is free.  This is the way I understand it at least.

Yeah, I guess my three names are all kinda in the same boat.

Yea,  so those are times lines I would like to see.

Still a good comic series

Still a good comic series

where's this from?

[Darth Tepes]

where's this from?

Its from the Star Wars comic series began after Disney took over.  Star Wars, Darth Vader and Dr. Aphra were the three main with Vader's comics (IMO) being the best.  The Star Wars comics covered the time between ANH and ESB.  Those ended and a new series will be starting in Feb I believe that will chronicle the short time between ESB and ROTJ.
