Avengers: Endgame End of an Era for MCU- SPOILERS AHEAD

Published

on

It’s a bittersweet feeling gearing up to see this film. On one hand it’s the conclusion to an 11 year journey that the world has taken together. SPOILERS AHEAD!

On the other it’s like saying goodbye to friends you’ve come to expect are coming over for the holidays every year. You know you’ll see them again but, when and where is anyone’s guess. Endgame is the three hour home stretch to the finish line for the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) faithful.

So, this film starts five years after big, purple, and genocidal snapped his fingers and erased half of the universes population. People are in mourning, missing posters are everywhere, and monuments to the fallen are erected. It’s a sad, devastated world we are dropped into. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are in disarray and looking for answers. Some wallow in failure and others defiantly push forward with hope, however slim that may be. All seems lost until a man returns from a universe unaffected by Thanos and his actions.

The acting was nothing to write home about but, that’s because the cast has been in these shoes for so long it’s hard to see any flaws in their portrayal as these are the way we know and love these characters. They did allow Chris Hemsworth to be a bit more comedic more akin to how he was in Thor:Ragnarok.

The Hulk also had a big change in the way Mark Ruffalo brought him to the screen this time out. Brolin as Thanos was as engaging as he was in Infinity War but, he went a bit harder this time around on the menace he brought to the film as the characters and world around him reacted differently.

The effects were of course top tier as they are in most of the MCU’s litany of material. The fight scenes were fantastically choreographed and executed. I found no slump in how attention grabbing these portions of the film were. The Russo Brothers were masterful in their direction of this film, as an ensemble cast this large can be difficult for the most seasoned of directors to ably handle.

This movie had everything the MCU faithful could possibly want. It had action on a grand scale, multiverse hopping, magic and might, and loose ends tied up nicely. It was the expertly executed ending to the first and hopefully not last, live action comic crossover storyline that spanned 11 years and kept comic fans hanging on to any news of the follow up to the last piece of the tale of Thanos verses Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

These films allowed a new generation of those that love comics already to connect with those who previously had no interest. This was the ultimate reward for those of us that stick it out and watched the cornucopia of movies through the years from 2008 until now and I have to say it was well worth the journey (and the eye sweats…it was warm in there and somebody kept cutting onions in the theater, it was ridiculous). Avengers:Endgame ended up with a 5 out of 5 from this viewer.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
