I still don't see what the point of not announcing the title years ago was; there's nothing spoilery in Endgame whatsoever.

Nothing particularly spoilery about that trailer either but I'm psyched.

It's a pretty clever early trailer: sets the mood, gives you a glimpse, gives nothing important away. This is a film where at least some of the pleasure is going to lie in the plot as well as in the character work, so I like that they're being thoughtful about what they show off.

I imagine it was simply not set in stone and if they put it out there it would be.

Avengers logo is quite literally pulling itself back together. How can I survive on such subtlety.

The reveal was in the trailer, it was going to be an event regardless. Also "When I drift off I will dream about you.

Marvel rightly assumes you deserve nothing but contempt if you haven’t seen their last major crossover movie already.

Gotta admit this trailer did not get me as instantly pumped as any of the Infinity War trailers did.

Don't think it was supposed to. It was a teaser and "mood setter" rather than a full-on trailer.

The trailers already spelled out the entire plot anyways: Tony and Nebula get back, Avengers + Friends go fight Thanos again, they get their shit kicked in again, some time later Ant Man gets back from convenient plot device land, time travel, success!.

I really hope that trailer is doing a disservice to black widow.
Because it looks an awful lot like the main point of black widow is to provide a love interest for whoever needs one. For like, the third film out of four.
Also, do we know if that is MCU Kate Bishop learning to pew pew with the arrows?

I did not get "love interest" at all from that trailer.

Disney Plus announced a Kate Bishop focused series that will have Renner in it (at least a bit) this week, so it could be his kid, or it could be Bishop.

This and the Mandalorian are the only things even making me semi-tempted about Disney+ but it's just not enough for me to pay for yet another service.

It's a long movie (and feels it) but at least there are no credit sequences in this one to stick around for (although the credits sequence for the main cast is worth watching at least).

There's supposedly some sort of audio-only teaser or something at the the very end.

I'm fairly sure it's not teasing anything (it's not dialogue).

Also I just realized that one character/actor makes an appearance who was strictly a Marvel TV character before. This may be the first time any of the movies have specifically referenced anything from the TV side. Won't even put it in spoilers until after the movie is out for a bit not that it's a big deal.

A lot of things I expected, and quite a few I didn't, as well. Overall a really solid way to wrap up the first batch of films.

They could have screwed that up a lot of different ways and pulled it off. Will have much more to say later. Also, yay I have a character I can cos-play now.

I'm very happy with almost everything. A great 10 years wrapped up strong.
There were a lot of payoffs from pretty much every movie we've seen to date (with the exception of the Norton Hulk and the first Thor, I can think of something significant in the story that was a payoff fro something set up in all of the earlier films).
I have some really big questions about some ramifications of this movie - it makes me think that the next Spider-man film may be more of a prologue to the first phase than I initially realized.
