My guess is they can’t do a previously on because the added scenes are going to need the context of the various scenes of Bruce Banner and the previous Sorcerer Supreme talking about timelines to explain how their actions in Endgame created the F4 timeline and how Tony Stark became Dr Doom

Then I’m not interested in either

Obvious lie is obvious.

I'm curious how Tony Stark is also Victor Von Doom.

Lol sad. They should have let it die years ago.

If the new footage is critical, it means you are retconning the original film.

Bruh all they had to do was re release it in theaters and id have gone anyway.

Tell me I shouldn't bother with your movie without telling me I shouldn't bother with your movie

He had a very different take on movie theaters when he was working for Netflix.

Since I won't be going to see Endgame again, Russo's advice is to skip Doomsday too since I'll be missing a critical part of the story? Got it.

I can't keep up with the MCU anymore. I grew up reading comics & was thrilled when the MCU launched. And I still acknowledge how awesome it is, but it's just too much now. I can't commit this much time & effort to a movie franchise.

Or maybe they could those short videos everybody liked? Those were fun.

lemme just dust this GIF off

BAHAHAHAHA! Oh, you keep telling yourself that!

New version of Endgame reaches its climax... *Tony snaps his fingers. All is won. Cap rushes to Tony's side Cap: "He sacrificed so much for us!" *Cap turns over Tony's motionless form. He looks shocked, then to camera says Cap: "But his face? Where did it go?!?"

If it’s any consolation, this will not be “critical” footage at all. Marvel just isn’t seeing the numbers they want to see for Doomsday, so they’re trying to supplement that in advance by getting people to rewatch the proven film.

It’s nothing but a money grab to snooker the rubes.

So greedy. Just release a free clip that does the job. Sheesh.

I'm on the Mortal Kombat hype train, thanks.

This is what flashbacks are for. You can start your movie with it.

Nope, nope, hell no, I'm out.

Yeah but they would release the same comic with different covers

This is such a blatant grift. Gtfoh

Wow, they're letting the actors speak their minds on how bad this.. oh, " Critical to..." carry on.

Seems like a problem to be solved by basic competency in storytelling on the director and writing team's end

No

"frantically retconning"

i know i'm missing something but why does Dr. Doom look like one of the Trailer Park Boys

Getting people to watch a pretty middling 3 and 1/2 hour movie again with some new footage is wacky. Cash grab if I've ever seen one.

This is bad storytelling. I think Disney might have pushed this because Star Wars did it so why not Marvel? There are no rules apparently. You can just update movies endlessly. Never mind making other films or writing other stories... This is how Ironman and Jedi Luke become actual saints...

Me when I didn't see the footage: Who is this Dr. Doom? Some kind of bad guy?

"Please bro this extra 5 minutes is necessary for our next 3 hour movie"🤡

Unless it’s a scene retconning the character assassination of Steve Rogers, I’m good

See, this would an acceptable use of ChatGPT to summarize something.

I can't hear you, Grim Flandango!🤣 Damn that's a good alt. Doom is my fave character and I hated the way Iron Man always saved the day or won the fight in the MCU because RDJ was the biggest star. Iron Man is an average character at best. To have RDJ coming back as Doom offends me on every level.

This is so tiresome. Still could be worse. It could be Electric State.

yawn dot gif

Brave thing to say when people have the option of going to see Dune 3 instead

I am congratulating and thanking to the team Marvel, I searched many times it, don't regard these negative thoughts, they haven't any real taste and thought for this film, dear Marvel, go on ever so, thanks!

When I searched this version I have had great taste of the funeral of Iron men, like me some people are thinking that the original film was cut in a unnecessary way, because there are much heroes in the story, the original film could be more long

Therefore you are believing that you have right, no Marvel isn't wrong, they have much right for an another version, you can't use that words like fuck, Marvel is decent and you are believing that only you have the right opinion, then you don't know this version with Chinese subtitles

3.in this version as different than the original the funeral of Iron men was played, the other members of Avengers was showed by the river funeral, therefore this Chinese version is nicer than original, also Marvel has the right completely to corrie their scenario then first vision was some short..

In other words: "We want to make twice as much money."

That's really crappy if that's the case.

“We needed to create a new footage for an older movie so people know what the new movie is about”? Do I have that right?

Probably wouldn't hurt to watch Thunderbolts. But that's just because that movie was surprisingly great.

I thought that retcons gimmicks were bad because they are lazy... I didn't anticipate that something much much worse would be invented by the Russo brothers.

The moment that Marvel (and Star Wars) media started to feel like homework was the moment I checked out

You don't need to watch anything.

"The film I made doesn't tell a story that makes any kind of sense by itself. This makes me a genius somehow and not a fucking hack."

ADD THE DEFENDERS TO THE FINAL BATTLE YOU COWARDS!

Or he could just, I don’t know, put that in the new movie instead. There’s these things called flashbacks…

These films struggle to have enough plot to justify their runtime as is. I'm not doing homework.

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

well, that's certainly ...a choice. so what they're saying is that all the tv shows/movies they've been pumping out over the last 7 years did *nothing* to further the narrative for this? that is what we call and Epic Fail. And by the comments below, sounds like this has not landed well with fans.

Guys who insist "the movies are back" keep doing shit to make us hate going to the movies

Nope

i'll be waiting on the refund for the bluray i bought that apparently doesn't have the whole film on it.

RDJ looks like Raphael in the center

If there's a "here's what we didn't show you" updated version of scenes in the previous movie, just put those scenes at the beginning of the new movie with the new content added in. I didn't even have to go to film school to learn that technique, just watch TV and movies.

I'll wait for them to update the filename on Disney Plus, thanks

This isn't how filmmaking works.

“Now we don’t have to make sequels, we will add 5 minutes to the last one and make you see the movie again!” 🤣😂🤣😂

It seems to me that making a movie that is missing key information for people to be able to follow it is... Bad storytelling. But what do I know?

First 20 minutes of the film are exclusive to Fortnite

I appreciate the hustle, Marvel, but no thanks.

In other words "Director Joe Russo finds new room in his mansion not entirely filled with 100 dollar bills, seeks immediate remedy"

No one cares that you don't care.

A couple shots of the new footage were recently leaked and I gotta say, the MCU is BACK baby!

ffs just put the footage out for free to get people excited or start the movie with "previously in the MCU.." voiced by Tom Kane.

There are scenes that are critical to the plot of a movie. Instead of putting them in that movie they instead spliced them into another movie, thereby ruining both movies.

If it was so damn critical, then why the hell did they cut it from the film?

Who still watches this swill

Or, you know, don't. Make it part of Doomsday instead.

Gumby v Pokey: Dawn of Justice

Buy a movie ticket for a 3 hour movie you have already seen before to see plot "critical" footage. Disney has out done themselves. I didn't think anything could be worse than cutting a scene from a Star Wars movie for a Fortnite live event

Did you read the leaked script? Fuckin' Tobey Maguire Spidey's Universe gets BLINKED out of existence. Their current trend is "yeah we plan to disrespect Marvel fans old and new"

I think you mean, these youtube cam videos will be critical to the story of Avengers: Doomsday

That's great! I can't wait to read what happens in the new footage in a Reddit thread.

I think I have the 4k Blu of Endgame on my shelf that I haven't watched since it underwhelmed me on my first 2 watches & I have zero interest in paying to watch that dreck before the likely Doomsday dreck later this year.

I don't want to do that, it sounds tedious. I guess I just won't go see the RDJ cash grab movie.

NOPE!!!!!! We should not have to fork over another 20+ bucks to make up for the lack of ANY BUILD UP OR CHARACTER BUILDING AT ALL for the villain since they have to rush out 2 back to back avengers movies to try to save the marvel cinematic universe……..

C'mon man, it's just a superhero movie

Nah.

Star Treks 3 and 4 both had 'previously..' scenes at the start.. do that instead of fleecing our pockets

Han shot first.

Glad I could adopt "just show me the racoon trilogy" to this overlong IP

Absolutely not

I'm a keep it real with you Director Joe Russo I have zero interest in a Robert Downey Jr Doom

That’s fucking stupid

God I fucking hate Corporate Media. Fuck the MCU and it's constant profit over storytelling crosspromotional gimmicks... I hope this move fails and Disney crashes and burns

Yeah, fuck that. If it's vital, put it in the new movie.

Hey Joe. Guess what is the thing that will most make me want to not watch your new movie?

Just put it at the beginning of Doomsday.

Get with the times, guys. Obviously, you put plot-relevant details about the premise in a one-time Fornite event. And then reference it offhand in one line. "Somehow, Doom happened"

Sounds like a cash grab. 🤔

Stick the new footage on YouTube then. Fucked if I'm watching shite like Endgame twice.

Avengers: Ender's Game

what if you instead you put the footage before the movie starts like a pre-chapter or an intro, you could even give it a fancy name using classical language like “πρό“ and “λόγος”

One of the reasons it was so hard for me to get into superhero comics when I was a kid is that by the mid-1980s all the DC and Marvel stories were written under the assumption that readers were already familiar with decades' worth of backstory across multiple titles. Now the movies are the same.

Behold my bold proclamation: if new scenes are critical to understanding a new film, those scenes should be part of said new film and not part of a new release of an old one.

Or. You can just put the new footage in the new movie. The fuck is he talking about, LOL You don't need a gimmick to re-release Endgame, just put in back in theaters for fans who want to watch it again before Doomsday, no need to overthink 🥴

Lmaoooooo oh capitalism

And money grabbing. And probably plugging some of the plot holes. I know this whole thing is going to be a mess.

That being said, I can't let this ruin my planned 100 day binge. My OCD for chronologic rewatches compels me. I was gonna go back to the beginning: BLADE, X-MEN, SPIDER-MAN. Then move into the Infinity Saga. Enjoying DVDs I still have and not giving further money to the fuckhead execs.

Ffs if there's any AI in this movie I'm refusing to watch it.

Why not just do a recap, like in books or television shows. It can be done artfully. Otherwise, you will be forcing us to go to an AI outlet and ask them "What do I need to know before..." Or, like me, not see the movie.

As if.

I think you'll be able to figure it out just fine
