Microphone (USB Audio CODEC (00:00):
If I'm sniffling.
(00:01):
It's because iron man's dead.
You know, I really feel likeiron man was always the end
game.
He kicked off this universe andthen he ended it.
With one snap.
I am iron man.
Yeah, it's continuing on sincethen, but the sag has started
with him.
This universe was built.
With Tony stark with RobertDowney, Jr.
(00:24):
It all started with him.
He's the guy that kicked it alloff and then it ended.
With him the best phase.
Uh, phase three, I guess there'sone more Spider-Man but like the
multi-verse saga multi-verse theinfinity saga ended with
Ironman.
I am iron man.
Let's try to unpack this thing.
Holy.
I think end game.
(00:45):
Is the best there ever was.
It's as good as it's gonna get.
You can't beat end game.
I think maybe on some level Imight've liked infinity war a
little bit more.
More because of.
The last, you know, and, and itwas this epic bill up to the
first confrontation.
End game though was just.
So APIC the pure scale of endgame, even when they do secret
(01:08):
wars, there's no way it's goingto connect and hit as hard as
end game, because the reality isthis new group that we follow.
No, one's going to care aboutthem as much as they cared
about.
Ironman.
Black widow, captain America.
It's just not going to happen.
They can try.
But it's not going to work.
They need time to build therelationships up with those
(01:29):
characters.
The the battle at the end, whenI think of epic final
confrontational confrontationbattles, I think.
Battle of Helm's deep, you know,battle of the bastards, stuff
like that.
This is on that level.
I really believe that people aregonna think, oh, are you crazy?
Listen.
It was you can't watch thecalled the battle of end game.
(01:50):
And not.
Think that that belongs in the.
This great hall of greatbattles.
It does.
It really does.
The only thing I wish theydidn't do is the whole time
traveled to fix everything.
Couldn't they have donesomething where everyone was in
the soul stone.
And they had to kind of takethe, um, The stone from Thanos,
(02:11):
maybe he had them.
In some kind of fortress,surrounded by guards and they
could still done this battle.
I don't know, I guess it mightnot have been the same, but I
just really don't like the ideaof just going back in time to
fix everything.
Cause it kind of makes the otherstuff feel cheap.
Although they didn't necessarilyerase what he did because as we
see in Falcon, the wintersoldier and the properties that
(02:34):
came after.
There is a ripple effect fromwhat the analyst in that
five-year gap that is reallyfelt a lot of people actually
agreed with that analysts in theMCU.
The standout for me has to beRobert Downey Jr.
The guy absolutely.
Nailed every single scene he'sbeen in since Ironman one to his
(02:55):
last appearance here just.
Absolutely crushed it right.
Miles.
My other is looking at me.
Yeah.
You'd like Ironman, right?
They're both looking at me.
They both looked up as soon as Isaid, iron man, even dogs who
don't even understand anything.
Love iron man.
How are you going to foster thatrelationship with somebody
(03:16):
again?
I guess you could say.
Spider-Man would probably bethat, but, but the issue with
Spider-Man is.
It's really just maybe him and.
Dr strange, maybe, but not atthe same level.
I think with this core.
Group of Avengers.
You had the Hawk, captainAmerica, Hawkeye.
Black widow, Ironman and Thor.
(03:39):
Those guys were everything topeople.
they all had great stories.
Everybody felt connected tothose characters and there was a
group The beginning was so darkwhere you had the sickly.
Tony star picked up by captainMarvel and brought to.
Earth.
I said, we need a suit of armoraround the world, blah, blah,
(03:59):
blah.
Just absolutely withered away.
He, he looked like he was aboutto die.
Who's on the precipice of death,right?
When captain Marvel picked himup.
Then he goes, and he has thisbeautiful, nice family with
pepper.
I love you 3000 or let's talkabout memes too.
I'm going all over the place.
There's just so many goodthings.
So you had Tony.
Stark's amazing story, which ledme to remember the memes.
(04:22):
There's so many epic memes.
I love you 3000, a Scarlet witchabout to destroy that house.
You took everything from me andthen he's like, I don't even
know who you are.
So many people mean that scene.
It's uh, this movie.
Is a cultural moment in cinema.
People are going to think thatI'm stupid for saying that
(04:42):
because it's Marvel.
It is a cultural moment incinema.
You went to go watch end game.
If you watched end game.
You would know, remember theexact moment Thor Thor's hammer
went to captain America andeveryone cheered.
You'd.
Remember when.
Um, Falcon said on your left andthe gold circles appeared,
everyone came through.
People cheered.
(05:03):
It was a spectacle going to seethis movie.
When was the last time youremember a movie being a
spectacle like this?
For me, it would probably be.
No way home.
I can't think of, I can't thinkof any non.
Marvel related movies that havebeen spectacles like this.
I want to say the original Lordof the rings trilogy.
But I can't think of anythingelse off the top of my head.
(05:24):
I mean, this movie was that itwas that at its absolute.
Best people were going nuts.
It was incredible to be therewith everybody on the Thursday.
It came out.
I just, I chills and, you know,everybody was cheering.
Right.
But you know, when everyone wasquiet, when Ironman died,
Daniel's grabbed the gauntlet.
(05:46):
He put in it.
The Finney stones, Ron, hiswrist.
And he's like, I am inevitable.
And then Ironman.
Yeah, then nothing happens.
And then it pans to Ironman andthe whole, the stones are
killing him and he's like, I am.
Iron man.
Oh, that's so amazing.
I can't believe it.
Let's see how well this moviedid at the box office.
(06:08):
I'm going to give you all asecond to try and figure out.
What, how the movie did whileI'm pulling it up.
Okay.
Do you all have a second?
So Avengers end game had abudget of$400 million.
I think that's more than thelast two movies we covered
combined.
Well, no.
Cause one of those infinity war,the last two non Avengers movies
(06:31):
combined.
So.
I cannot believe how much moneythis movie made.
Actually, I shouldn't besurprised.
It's the culmination of 10 yearsof just epic movie buildup, but
Avengers end game may$2.8billion on a$400 million budget.
This movie.
Is going to be studied.
By studios.
(06:51):
For.
Generations to come on, how tobuild a universe, how to like
make that money at the boxoffice, what to build up to.
It can not get better than this.
The action, the little momentsof humor, the epic final
confrontation, the.
The tears that came when Ironmanleft or when.
Buck.
Um, captain America finally hadthat last dance with Peggy.
(07:14):
It was just so perfect.
How do you even build somethinglike that?
Again?
You know what I think you haveto do.
You have to almost find a way toreset.
So DC might be in a good placeto do that.
But Marvel, I don't know how youdo that.
Like again, I'm not bashinganything anymore.
I want to focus on this.
You just need to like start fromthe ground.
(07:35):
I've been a star with yourIronman, your captain America,
your Thor, and slowly bringeverything up.
When you have too much going on.
It takes away.
You need your core members, yourcore group, and you need to
watch them grow and have somelittle periphery pieces around
them.
Like a Ant-Man.
Or like a guardians of thegalaxy.
(07:56):
Which guardians of the galaxy isone of the best CBM chilled GS
can wait to get the volumethree.
I think.
We all know.
Where our end game is going toland on my MCU power rankings.
I really am torn betweeninfinity war and end game
because end game.
I liked them both, but for indifferent ways, if that makes
(08:17):
sense.
However, I got to give the edgeto end game because of just.
The APIC.
Everything just.
The whole universe is buildingup to this moment.
In other words, there was somuch pressure on Marvel to
deliver with this movie.
And not only did they deliver,they exceeded expectations.
Maybe that's why they're goingback to Robert Downey Jr.
(08:40):
As Dr.
Doom and the Russo brothers forsecret wars and dooms day.
I just don't know how they canreplicate this.
I'm I want to be hopeful.
I'm sure that the moves were Bwill be amazing, but end game is
just.
The cherry on top of an epic10-year build.
No notes.
No, I guess I gave him that withTom chow.
So the end game at number one.
(09:01):
Let's talk about our rankingsand where we stand.
We have captain Marvel at 21.
Ironman at 20.
Thor dark world is at number.
19.
Ironman is that number 18 ant.
Man is number 17 ant.
Man, the wasp is number 16.
Thor is number 15.
(09:22):
The Hawk is number 14.
Spiderman.
Is number 13.
Guardians of the galaxy isnumber 12.
Ironman is number 11.
And then in our top 10, we haveage of Ultron.
Number 10, Dr.
Strange number nine.
Captain America first Avengernumber eight, guardians of the
(09:43):
galaxy volume one.
Number seven, the Avengers.
Number six.
And now we go into our top five.
This is our top five.
All right.
We've we've covered 21 moviesand we're in our top five.
Thor, Ragnarok, sorry.
Winter soldier is number five.
Thor.
Ragnarok is number four.
Civil war is number three.
(10:05):
Infinity war.
Uh, close number two, and thenwe end off with end game.
Coming up next, we haveSpider-Man far from home, ending
off an epic phase three, thebest phase.
I can tell you right now thebest phase.
I'm your host, mark savvy.
Thank you for listening toanother episode of savvy geeks.
