Finally got to see Endgame again yesterday and mostly my opinion on the movie is the same. I kind of thought I'd get more out of it a second time but... didn't? Some things hit me more emotionally, I suppose, because I knew they were coming or that something else was coming but in general it wasn't a major shift in how I saw the movie. Maybe it's because the problems I have with it aren't something that can be solved with multiple viewings and are, instead, problems with the MCU in general so far. Maybe it's because since the movie is three damn hours long, even when you first watch it, desperate to know what happens... you still have to sit through three hours, man. You have time to process a fair amount of the things that happen.

( Spoilers maybe, I dunno. )

The second viewing was nice but I'm not sure I get people who are going insane after seeing it a second time like it's SO MUCH BETTER. It's the same movie, guys. Maybe don't nitpick things to death? I dunno. The interviews the screenwriters and maybe even the directors are doing though, those remain trash and they should stop it immediately. I will say that the first time I got out of the movie and it was just "need to go home, sit in the dark, and pet the cat because that was a lot." And the second was more "hey, that had some fun parts!" Still not the same level of joy as say, Ragnarok, but let's be real, nothing is going to hit that level of fun.
