Marvel's 'Avengers: Endgame' Trailer Sets New Record: 289M Views In 24 Hours (variety.com)
Marvel's last Avengers movie ended with a cliff-hanger -- leading hundreds of millions of fans to watch the trailer for the franchise's next film, Variety reports:
The "Avengers: Endgame" trailer was viewed 289 million times in its first 24 hours, after it was released around 5 a.m. PT Friday, according to Marvel Studios. That blasted past the previous record of 230 million views, set a little over a year ago by the studio's "Avengers: Infinity War." Behind that was Disney's "The Lion King" teaser, which racked up 224.6 million views.... The trailer also set a record for Twitter conversation for a movie trailer in the first 24 hours -- with 549,000 mentions -- soaring past previous record holder "Avengers: Infinity War" (389,000) and "Black Panther" (349,000).
Mashable also reports on some clever tie-in marketing for another Marvel-related film: Typing "AvengersEndgame.com" into your address bar will take you to the official Fox Movies web portal for Once Upon a Deadpool, the family-friendly Deadpool 2 re-cut that uses the same "reading stories to a sick kid in bed" framing device as The Princess Bride (right down to Fred Savage!).
There's still some question as to whether or not this is an intentional marketing ploy, however. It's definitely something you could see coming out of the Deadpool playbook.

After years of exhilarating, underwhelming, and experimental fat sex, I have come to this conclusion: I love facesitting. For the uninitiated, facesitting is the act of sitting on a person's face. To be frank, it's one of the best orgasms I've ever had.
As a fat woman, I've experienced hang-ups about my naked body and sex. I questioned if I could even try something like facesitting. When I started having sex, I didn't let anyone touch my belly - so the thought of wrapping my thighs around someone's head and squatting down on them seemed like something for other people, not me. My insecurities stemmed from within. I would stare at my naked body in a mirror and ask myself: Am I too fat to try this specific sex act? Will I crush my partner?
I'm not the only fat woman to have experienced this fear. "I used to be scared that I was going to literally kill someone," 28-year-old Toronto resident Rachel Matheson tells me. "Then I realized that if a man dies while his face is being sat on, he died doing what he loved."
It took me a long time to get to a place where I realized my insecurities were in my head. I learned that people of all sizes can enjoy all forms of sex if you approach it right. But how to get out of your head, and enjoy facesitting for the first time?
It's OK to feel anxious the first time
You have to be confident to try facesitting, but confidence can also come with practice. The first time Matheson tried it, she was so worried about how she looked and smelled that she lost sight of what was happening. But now she's a convert.
Anxiety about how your genitals smell and look affects women of all sizes and ages. But don't let that fear take away from your wants, needs, and desires. Start looking at your naked body in the mirror and appreciating it, not just during sex but each and every single day.
Communicate verbally and non-verbally about your desires
Sex therapist Sonalee Rashatwar, who uses they/them pronouns, tells me that couples need to have explicit conversations about what verbal and non-verbal indicators display that the experience is pleasurable for the person on the bottom. If the person on top becomes too engrossed in the act, they may block the bottom partner's air supply. Rashatwar suggests the bottom partner tap on the top partner's thighs or arms, to let the person on top know if they need a little more air.
"There should be ongoing communication," Rashatwar explains. "Not just in the form of, 'Can you breathe?' but also, 'Are you enjoying this? Is this getting you off? Am I arousing you? What can I do to make this feel better? Are there toys we could be using? How could I have made this more pleasurable for you?'"
Couples should discuss what they specifically enjoy in advance. "Not all folks enjoy oral pleasure like clitoral stimulation and not all folks enjoy anal pleasure like rimming," Rashatwar says. Get your desires out in the open before you climb on top, to ensure the experience is pleasurable for everyone.
Find techniques that work for your body
Facesitting can be challenging for some fat people, but Rashatwar has tips to make things easier. They suggest the bottom partner use a pillow to prop up their neck, so they have enough space to breathe and move their neck and arms throughout the act. If you have a memory foam bed at home, Rashatwar suggests moving to a firm ottoman, or the floor, as the memory foam could cause the two parties to sink into the bed and feel unstable.
A pillow under the bottom partner's neck also enables the person on top, who's doing the facesitting, to have some support under their legs. This is great if they have knee problems. Ultimately, though, both parties should experiment until they find a facesitting position that works for them.
Listen to your body
Being a fat girl on top can be physically tiring. Listen to your body. If your quads start to hurt, or it doesn't feel comfortable, take a break and check in wi
Big bang faggot show one liners, except everybody is CGI. Cartoons for Ken Dolls. Marvel movies suck more dick than Johnny Galecki in a stalled elevator.
I got distracted and had to re-play it. So, that number of views is just a bit inflated.
Next trailer will be:
Direct to Streaming on Disney only (since direct to video doesn't exist anymore)
Marvel Avenger Babies
Spiderman, this time for sure.
Iron Man the animated series
Thor High School Days (yes it's a musical)
People play games instead of learning about life.
It's like the Nazi regime in its "best" times, when they (my ancestors) came up with the concept of the Übermensch, as the epitome of racism and eugenics.
Of course the Americans didn't want to be "left behind", and invented their own Übermensch (or super human, in English) propaganda. (While for the Soviets, everyone had to be "equal" of course, so they focused on the "glory" of "the worker", etc.)
From that came the super man, the super woman, and so on to this day and this "Avengers" movie.
It's still the same fucked-up war-glorifying Übermensch propaganda. And it's still just as creepy and horrifying as back then. Only much much more shiny and casual and "normal", due to us being used to it.
The mindset it breeds in the heads of people, is still the same too.
And what's its point, apart from that, anyway? Games to go with the "bread", to give people one more a way to keep ignoring the churning profit fist in their figurative anus?
Can we maybe, have movies about good and useful and nice things, for a change?
Movies that actually give us insights in our lives and the world, and showing us ways to improve it?
Not us-VS-them hate-mongering, mass-murder and blind nationalist "glory"?
Or is this just the regime that's at its last gasp, this century?
The redirect isnâ(TM)t a Marketing stunt. If the author wouldâ(TM)ve read other sources the owner of the site said he bought it after Infinity War and wants two premier tickets to Endgame to handover the domain.
How is it a cliffhanger? Thanos achieved his goal. The End.
Finally, the end of the whoosh and the zoom and the bang and the boom and the lack of interesting story.
Good riddance.
All that this means is that marketing is becoming more pervasive.
They throw this shit in your face as hard as they can.
No doubt, soon it will be illegal to have adblock installed.
Later on the ads will be broadcast into your brain via your mandatory chip.
Just the same bland formulaic action and explosions over and over again. Iron Man 1 was cool I guess and Dark Knight took things in different directions but its mostly the same story after that just with a different setting and character or 10xing the characters and villains and explosions. You guys go ahead and cream your pants over the latest recirculated swill and give poor deserving Disney another 20 bucks to fund the next transgender Spiderman. I'll find a random indie game that has 10x more creativity in its pinky finger.
They said he got rid of 50% of all living things.
Well, what the hell did penguins do to deserve that Thanos? I mean they eat a lot of fish but still.
Basically, I don't think he really thought it through. They could have stopped him simply by showing him a picture of penguins.
My prediction for the movie is Thanos has Snapper's Remorse and unwinds everything.
Although, on second thought it is a great point to do another Spiderman reboot, maybe that was the whole point.

It brings to movies a technique that was common in comic books long ago: Increase suspense and drama by killing main characters off.
It works really well because the general movie-viewing audience hasn't seen the technique before, doesn't realize that important characters will be revived, and also doesn't realize how convoluted and un-wieldy the plot will eventually become.

Please grow up. No one over the age of 20 has any business getting excited to see this or any Marvel movie.

I never liked avenger or DC comic or whatever. I always preferred self contained stories, or at most a few books I can buy once they are all published with a start and end in the serie/book you bought. That's why I never liked all those US comic, defined by the monster of the week, and no consequence (yeah yeah superman dies, but then he is reborn or taken from another universe. Whatever he is now alive. Consequence zero), barely a long time story. As such the superheroe films NEVER attracted me to begin with, because they come pretty much with the same baggage as the comic. And when I watched a few of them , I found out quickly that without the baggage of having liked those in my childhood, they are actually *very poor* films, lower in entertainment value than the average. And most of the entertainment comes from the cgi. I can then watch machinima youtube.
So yes, you can simply have no fun in an avenger movie. It all depends on your history with the franchise and your taste. I had far more fun in the poorly copied ghost in the shell movie - and yet that one was really a stinker compared to the GIST book or anime.
Now that I am finished ranting, let me check those movie date for avenger X+1 : I can then make a movie marathon for something else , anything else.

We all know exactly whats going to happen.

And good guys win.
*shrug*
Spiderman, this time for sure.
I was under the impression that Sony (?) had to make a Spiderman movie every "x" years or they lose the rights to the franchise. Is this correct?
It's tough to tell what is real and what is fake these days, but there is a claim that after somebody accidentally revealed the movie name, a squatter bought the domain that is pointing to Deadpool. Apparently that squatter is demanding premier tickets. https://cosmicbook.news/avengers-end-game-website-claims
