Infinity War ended on a very bad note so everyone anticipated the sequel to have even higher stakes in a world where pretty much all the heroes are dead and the universe is in chaos, then comes Endgame... The movie is being marketed as being very serious in tone in a post-apocalyptic world, not much action is shown and everyone is depressed and what not, I was under the impression that this movie would be dark like Logan and I was super excited for this event, the 2nd trailer really setting the mood. But now...
The 5 minute leak just threw all that away. Every clip seemed like basic friendly neighborhood MCU formula, it's even worse because the concept of fat Thor makes it seem like a huge parody, the Russos made a bold move with that one, drunk careless Thor with hobo dreads, sloppy bush beard, and big pot belly. Bruce Banner and Hulk are fused into one and I expected an arc that follows the comic storyline of Merged Hulk but he still seems as he did in the last 2 movies, goofy comedic relief. Hulk's new look also looks goofy, idk of it's just me but cgi looks undone, like when he visits Thor his face looks completely different and smooth, hope it's not final product. Seriously the first clip is Banner walking around joking then Black Widow throwing in her 2 cent joke. The final battle of all the good guys fighting all the bad guys is kinda cliche and I think it ruins Infinity War, that was supposed to be the giant scale warfare movie but now it's being undermined. Dusted characters should've stayed dead until Thanos is beat. Now it takes focus away from the original avengers and once again this movie was being marketed to be mostly THEIR movie to AVENGE everyone else.
All in all, it just doesn't seem the same. I discovered there was a leak right before bed and I hunted the video down, watched it against my will I'd say, and after 4 more viewings... I lost the hype. I'm pissed I saw the thread here still, movie ruined for me. I got chills from seeing the dusted return on a zoomed out low quality boot leg video recorded from a phone. I'm slightly bummed that it's not what I thought it would be, I wanted it to be better than Infinity War but now that may be hard to accomplish if the rest of the movie is like those clips, which it will be.
