Avengers: Endgame | Moustache Trailer Reaction



The second trailer for Avengers: Endgame has arrived, and it's a little more hopeful than what we've seen up to this point. If you haven't already seen it, check it out below.



It starts off with a little recap, what our heroes have been through over the last ten years, the things they've seen and the people they've lost. Tony thinking about how he became Iron Man, Steve Rogers doing the same with his own past and Thor thinking about his father and how he became King of Asgard, only to see half of his people - if not more - wiped out in an instant. Hawkeye teaching what could be his daughter - or possibly a young Kate Bishop - to use a bow and arrow is a particularly pertinent shot, given that we have no idea what has happened to him since the snap - or "Decimation" as it's said to be known in the movie - other than something caused him to take on a new identity as 'Ronin', and that Romanoff will be the one to hunt him down. 


A question of time has arisen too. How long did it take Scott Lang to escape the Quantum Realm? Because when he goes in search of his family, it would appear they're not there, their home is in a state that would suggest they haven't been for quite some time. But could this be key to the Avengers' plan to put things right? Gaps are quite literally being filled, shots from the previous trailer are present with new players included. The surviving team members are all reunited, seen walking across the hanger at HQ and they're all newly suited and booted (check out Rhodey's bulkier 'War Machine' suit), ready for the Quantum Realm.


Obviously there is a big fight coming, there has to be if the team is going to fix everything. All of which is hinted at with that beautifully grandiose score. Whereas the first trailer was a lot more grim, and depressed, the underlying theme of this trailer seems to be hope. Romanoff can be heard giving her support for the plan: "Even if there's a small chance, we owe this, to everyone who's not in this room...to try." Following on from this, certain members utter the same phrase: "whatever it takes."


But what's great is that Endgame won't be all doom and gloom, we still have that cheeky Marvel humour to look forward to. In the closing moments we see Thor hazing Carol Danvers, by summoning Stormbreaker as he stands right in front of her. When it arrives, naturally she doesn't flinch, and after a brief moment Thor grins, announcing "I like this one." Not that there was ever any doubt, but it seems she is now an Avenger.


This is the type of trailer I like. We have seen snippets of what is to come, but we don't have answers. Marvel is well known for being sneaky with their trailers, so we can't trust everything we see. But what we are seeing looks fantastic. It's interesting to note that there's still no sign of the Hulk, maybe he's looking to make a big entrance. The other major player missing from this trailer is Thanos, I wonder what the Mad Titan has in store for Earth's mightiest heroes. Not long to wait now! I think it's fair to say that I didn't think I could be any more excited for Avengers: Endgame than I already am...I was wrong.

The Suicide Squad | Average Guy Movie Review

A new batch of convicts - as well as a few originals - are under the thumb of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who's once again offering years off their prison sentences in return for completing a few jobs for Uncle Sam. This time she's sending them to the island nation of Corto Maltese. There they must infiltrate the capital and destroy a top secret research facility. Sounds easy enough. Task Force X is back, and with James Gunn at the helm things are madder than ever! The Guardians of the Galaxy  director has taken what David Ayer started and blown the roof off of it. But he has done so in a way that is respectful of what has gone before. Fans of the original (of which there are apparently few) will have no trouble going from  Suicide Squad  to The Suicide Squad . And yet, the new movie stands quite happily on it's own two feet. Rather than making them drastically different, the returning characters simply feel like they have grown a bit. Well, maybe not grown, but adapted, t

Operation Market Garden Anniversary 2016

The John Frost Bridge at Arnhem (from my visit in 2013) 72 years ago today, Allied troops set off on what could be one of the boldest missions of World War 2, Operation Market Garden. Developed by Field Marshall Montgomery, the plan was to advance into Nazi occupied Holland and develop a bridgehead over the River Rhine into Germany. There were two parts to the operation: Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground Forces) In what was the largest airborne operation of the war, paratroopers and glider troops had the job of securing bridges at Eindhoven (US 101st Airborne), Nijmegen (US 82nd Airborne) and Arnhem (British 1st Airborne). The ground forces, made up of the British XXX Corp had to advance up a single highway through Holland, linking up with the airborne forces as they went. In honour of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden we look back at some of the movies and TV Shows that tell the story of the Allies ill-fated attempt to end the war by Christmas 1944.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Average Guy Movie Review

For ten years Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) - the son of The Mandarin (Tony Leung), keeper of the Ten Rings - has been running from his past, trying to escape the life his father intended for him. Unfortunately that past has now caught up with him, endangering the lives of those he cares about. Now he must return home, face his father and learn the secrets of his family. If there's one thing that Marvel is good at, it's taking lesser known comic book characters and turning them into major players. Clearly they haven't lost their touch because Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  is everything fans love about the MCU and so much more. Whilst keeping things very much rooted in this world, Destin Daniel Cretton has carved out a new piece of the epic film franchise - one steeped in asian culture and mythology - to bring us Marvel's first Asian superhero.  It seems insane to think that just a few years ago Simu Liu tweeted Marvel about Shang-Chi, and now he's playing the ne
