'Avengers: Endgame' Footage Leaks on Reddit, YouTube, and Twitter (engadget.com)

Despite Disney's efforts to keep as much of Avengers: Endgame under wraps as possible before the latest Marvel blockbuster hits theaters next week, several minutes of blurry Avengers: Endgame footage have leaked. From a report: The footage reveals some significant plot details, and GIFs, screenshots and descriptions -- none of which we're sharing here -- are spreading across the likes of Twitter and Reddit. Given the level of anticipation and hype surrounding Avengers: Endgame, Disney has trodden very carefully when it comes to revealing information about the movie. Press and critics have yet to see the film and you can bet everyone involved with the production has had to sign iron-clad non-disclosure agreements. However, Disney has shown critics 10 minutes of footage in the US and around 20 minutes in South Korea.

      Liked the first 20 minutes or so. When Professor X came on, I felt the scene was a little forced, and was a little confused by Captain America and Wolverine welcoming Magneto like an old friend.

      But it really just got unintelligible when the Fantastic Four joined the group. The subplot with Iron Man and Mister Fantastic arguing over everything just got irritating, and I didn't see why Mystique would disappear with The Human Torch and Groot for the "White House Mission" without letting Fury know what they planned to do, they could have screwed everything up.

      And what was with Captain Marvel? She was advertised as having a major role in this but all you see is her at HQ smiling.

It's the home copy I'll pirate. Why buy the blu-ray when the pirated copy will combine remux copies of the best video and audio combination of any released disc as well as all the subtitles (including the ones only released on BD HDR matched to the 4k stream)?

      The group I follow is working on going back and doing The Aviator right now. Not the greatest movie but they are analyzing 6 completely separate BD discs released in different parts of the world. Each is different. You'd think they'd all be the same film with the differences only if remastered or what have you but they are actually distinct with each region compressing the video and audio independently. They might have slightly varied timecodes so adjusting the playback settings on the container or shaving a hair off the beginning and end might be needed to sync the audio with a different region but the common subtitles give that adjustment to the exact frame. No filtering or compressing is done, the video is just extracted from BD and put into MKV untouched. The result is the remux copy is generally superior to any BD ever released. Well, at least in terms of the actual feature content.
