From season 2 of Netflix punisher. No spoilers.
Both walk into a bar but only one comes out alive.
Who?
Q: Why Ironman has to be the one to do the final snap, couldn't the people like Thor, Starlord or Captain Marvel whom all previously have handled the power of Infinity Stones done it instead?
A: Thor in this movie couldn't do it, only Hulk was strong enough to do the snap without dying. We are still not sure whether Captain Marvel can also withstand all the power of Infinity Stones at once. The reason we choose to let Ironman do it in the end was because he was the closest one to Thanos at the time. In all the futures Doctor Strange foresee, Ironman was the only one who could get close to Thanos and do the snap. People usually think the death of a hero is a horrible tragedy. But we think this is different. When his death was able to bring back hope, to save half of the universe, then his death was powerful and meaningful. We shouldn't feel too sad or anger about it.
Q: Peggy Carter was probably already married and in her mid 40s in 1970, in that case what year was it that Captain America went back to dance with her?
A:We can't answer it for now, this is a story that happened in an alternate reality. Maybe it will be revealed in the future.
Q: Did Captain America's action at the end affect the timeline? Does that mean there was a time where two CA existed in a same universe?
A: To me, CA's action in the end wasn't the fact he wanted to change anything, it's more like me has made a choice. He chose to go back to past and lived with the one he loved for the rest of his life. The time travel in this movie created an alternate reality. He lived a completely different life in that world. We don't know how exactly his life turned out, but I'd like to believe he still helped many others when they were needed in that world. Yes, there were two CA in that reality, it's just like what Hulk said, what happened in the past has already happened. If you go back to past, you simply created a new reality. The characters in this movie created new timeline when they went back to the past, but it had no effect to the prime universe. What happened in the past 22 movies was still canon.
Q: In both IW and EG, the heroes tried their back to take the glove away from Thanos, so why didn't Doctor Strange just cut off Thanos' hand with his ability?
*A: Thanos' skin is almost impenetrable, we don't know whether Doctor Strange had the capability to do it. If he failed to cut it on time, Thanos would still able to do the snap. Doctor Strange realized

It was an hour-long spoiler discussion that lasted to ~11 PM. Half of the audience has already seen the movie before showing. The discussion went very well. The directors talked a lot on their approach and their experience filming Endgame, less on the story itself though.

Video and streaming were prohibited. Below are some notes I jotted down last night. These are obviously not their precise language. So please don't quote on this. Please DM me for other uses.
Standing ovation when they came in.
1. On the Stan Lee cameo
- We wrote the script first, then we thought about where to place the cameo.
- Initially wrote four jokes for him. He joked why he only gets one line.
- When Stan Lee was at the stage, all the big stars were so excited just like kids.
2.On filming the funeral scene
- We want this scene to exhibit the star power of this franchise.
- Stand-ins rehearsed 30 takes, then the actors filmed 10 takes. The one used in the movie is one of the earlier takes.
3. On the epic battle at the end
- We started shooting Endgame just two weeks after finish shooting IW. Normally it takes a year in between to start filming a movie this size.
- Around Jan. 2018, we realized we have to stop shooting and focusing on editing IW.
- Reshoot took place in September 2018 and lasted for two months.
- Our last shot was in Jan. this year, the "I am Iron man" scene. What's interesting is, the studio we shot the scene is where RDJ auditioned for the Iron Man role. So it comes a full circle.
4. Why no after credit scene? What's with the clanging sound at the end?
- Our goal is to bring a sense of conclusion. Currently, we have no plan to direct more Marvel projects after this...unless a really good idea comes up.
- Normally Kevin Feige communicates with directors a lot on the story's direction. But not this one. Kevin left the storytelling entirely to us. We don't think about how MCU goes from here, we only look backward.
- The clanging sound is an homage to Iron Man. It's Kevin's idea.
5. On filming Cap's scene by the lake at the end.
- It's all him. He used his own voice.

It's all fun and games until someone gets Hurt.
I listened to this whole travesty of a podcast and now I need a fucking drink. Russo takes no responsibility for any of the terrible booking decisions he made and only admits to one thing being a bad idea. His cohost Matt Koon actually disagrees with him quite a bit surprisingly which was nice but Russo just can’t ever admit fault for anything.
Beaver Cleavage wasn't a bad idea because it never came to fruition. If it would have come to fruition and failed, then it could have been a bad idea. Since it didn't, he can't call it a bad idea. The reason it never came to fruition was because they were worried about losing sponsors.
GI Bro wasn't a bad idea and it wasn't racist because Booker T came up with it. It also was not a bad idea to give it to Booker right before he won the World Title.
Turning Goldberg heel was the only logical thing to do but realized it wasn’t great but that was because Goldberg never wanted to do it.
Vince Russo came up with a tag team idea for TNA consisting of Terry Taylor & Balls Mahoney called "Cock & Balls". Thinks it would have been amazing and hilarious and is sad it never happened. Announced that anyone on the Indy scene is free to use it. Also says Vince McMahon is free to use it because "it's a hell of a lot better than the shit you got going on now."
Russo came up with the idea for the tag team "The Johnsons". Apparently, by the time we got to Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins Falls Count Anywhere Match on January 7th, the college football game running concurrently was a blowout and Russo claims that 600,000 fans changed the channel. He says “I guarantee you that if two guys are coming out looking like two big dicks in flesh colored body suits, I guarantee you I ain’t losing 600,000 fans.” Koon disagrees. What the fuck.
He rips on Meltzer for a while. Says he’s “exploding with man juice”.
Katie Vick wasn’t his idea. He wasn’t working for WWE at the time.
Judy Bagwell on a Forklift – When you are switching back and forth between two wrestling programs and you stop on one and see a middle aged woman attached to a forklift, apparently you think “I’m sorry bro, let’s stop on this show for a few minutes and see what this is.”
Koon claims that he thinks Russo’s audience for wrestling is “anyone flipping through channels” and Russo says “Absolutely bro, absolutely. That’s how the entire show should be. The entire show should be a spectacle. They surely didn’t hang on for Rollins vs. Am

These guys wrote the screenplays for all 3 Captain America films, Thor 2, and most importantly Infinity War and Endgame. They deserve plenty of credit too for many of the amazing moments we see in these films.
