Topic	Avengers Endgame has beaten Avatar to become the highest grossing film ever
Mr Lasastryke 07/21/19 7:55:51 PM #63:	Lopen posted... I'd say by Avatar standards, which is the context of the originality comment, it's pretty original too. Avatar is a pretty version of a story that has been told many times. absolutely. i didn't mean to imply that avatar and endgame are the same on the originality-scale, endgame is definitely more original. what i was trying to say was: neither movie really blows me away for being super original. for me the big difference is that endgame had a pretty good, well told story and avatar did not. not that one movie is extremely original and the other one isn't. Like I wouldn't call a strength of Endgame "originality" or anything but I can't really think of any movies like it, either, so I'm not sure "not particularly original" is a fair assessment. It's a unique viewing experience even if it's not super deep or anything. is endgame THAT much different from infinity war? i'd say that one is pretty similar in how it's an ensemble cast of superheroes trying to defeat a big baddie. obviously, there are differences but yeah. and obviously, we've seen elements of endgame before in countless other movies too (like the time travel subplot). I'm not talking about you specifically I just meant people who say this in general make me think they've got that hat on cause I wouldn't really say it's something to criticize Endgame for. Robazoid said it first after all. oh ok. well, apparently robazoid hasn't even seen endgame, so i'm not sure how he's able to gauge its originality >_> it's funny because one of the two he did see, guardians of the galaxy is pretty damn original. not only does it combine flash gordon/star wars with the superhero genre, it also has elements of a troma movie (with a much bigger budget than a troma movie would have, obviously). that's pretty crazy. i'd say it's more original than endgame, personally! the incredible hulk probably isn't that original, though. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta <cite>Mr Lasastryke posted [p:924999875] in Avengers E...
