'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.

      And was that really Admiral Holdo broadcasting the "Message from the future"?

    It doesn't really spoil much. If you've watched the trailers and people taking them apart you know most everything in this leak anyway. Might as well be another trailer.

    The big question is how they reboot after Thanos killed everyone and that isn't spoiled in this leak. There are a couple people who weren't in the other trailers... ooooo big deal. Look, if the comic associated with a character has relatively small sales, the character might not come back if they have heavy sales they are definitely coming back. If someone doesn't come back and there is a big upset about it, they'll just bring them back some other way later because there will be money in it.

    I on the other hand will see it in the theater because it is best kind of content to watch there that actually benefits from the few advantages a large theater setup has over my home theater. 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.

    The what now?
    Anyway, maybe that AC is a bit like me: not against everything popular just to be edgy, but utterly sick of these superhero movies. Every now and then there's one that is slightly interesting, but as a genre it has been done to death, with very few original ideas or angles. In fact it looks like they have ran out of decent source material to work with, given that so many of these movies are reboots, origin stories, or versus / league movies. Lazy, lazy writing. And the problem is that almost all dumb blockbuster action / SF movies (a category which I do enjoy) are superhero movies these days. That, and poorly done remakes.

    What is the point in showing critics a tiny snippet of the film like that? Their job is to review the film, the whole film, and there's no way they can do that with only 10-20 minutes.

    It's obviously related to marketing somehow, are they hoping that the critics will aid the hype by reviewing just the tiny bit that they saw? "I have no idea about the whole movie, but there's at least ten minutes that are worth watching in there." Would any legitimate critic do that?

    Of course time travel and parallel dimensions are involved somehow. That IS a duh but whose power do they use and how? Is it all something to do with Captain Marvel? Do they bring in yet someone else new? Some new technology uncovered? Is it something to do with Ant-man in the quantum realm?

    Those are the burning questions. I guess some people could be surprised by another character you know is coming back but really did anyone think they weren't going to bring back all the women and minority heroes in the current social climate? That would be suicide. If someone doesn't make it, it will be a white male character who isn't popular with the ladies. Maybe Doctor Strange, which sucks because he is a great character.
