I wonder if the release of Spiderman in a few weeks will give Endgame a bump like Endgame's release gave Captain Marvel a bump?So close... thought it would have done better then it did this weekend...

Starting to get nervous
I felt obliged to get the final (probably) Hot Toys movie versions of Stark/IM and Rogers/Cap. But they really stuck it to me when they made two versions of Thanos. I had to get both, damn it.It still hit the emotions, I laughed at the funny parts, I cried at the sad parts. No other movie has ever made me feel that way.
It has also reignited my passion for collecting. I've order a few prop replicas from forum members and also preordered some of the hot toys from Sideshow Collectibles.

And out of reverence I really had to get one of these for my office.

Endgame may not have made it to the top spot and replaced Avatar as the highest grossing film but I know which of the films had a better story, emotional impact, heart, humour and that I've watched multiple times and will buy the bluray for and merchandise and it certainly won't be Avatar.So close... thought it would have done better then it did this weekend...

I agree with all your comments. The inside-my-own-head explanation for Avatar being top grossing movie is because it cheated by having a gimmick that forced people to buy more expensive tickets. That's my version of the story and I'll stick with it, even if it annoys some Avatar fans.Endgame may not have made it to the top spot and replaced Avatar as the highest grossing film but I know which of the films had a better story, emotional impact, heart, humour and that I've watched multiple times and will buy the bluray for and merchandise and it certainly won't be Avatar.
I don't get the hype for Avatar, the whole planet was just a bioluminescent mess which made no sense and the story was predictably dull.

It was. First time with the theatrical cut, then re-released later with an extended edition. Even with the extended edition, there's still about an hour worth of unfinished alternate scenes and deleted scenes. There's an entire subplot that was cut in the final battle involving Quaritch bullying Parker into letting him exterminate the Na'vi, and the science division taking over Hell's Gate while the army is away by using a loader to smash into the control center and using leftover weapons to take over the base.I was told a avatar was also released twice in theaters, I don’t know if I remember that but i think that is considered cheating...

It shouldn't be a dollar figure, it should be tickets sold, frankly. In which case, neither are the winner
