[dropcap]Ε[/dropcap]ίχαμε γράψει την κριτική μας χωρίς spoilers για την ταινία Avengers: Endgame, ενώ τώρα το Empire έχει 26 απαντήσεις σε θεωρίες και απορίες που απαντούν οι σκηνοθέτες Anthony και Joe Russo και οι σεναριογράφοι Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely. Δεν μπορούσαμε να μεταφράσουμε όλα τα παρακάτω, οπότε σας τα παραθέτουμε όπως τα βρήκαμε:

 

THE FAN THEORY
1) Ant-Man wouldn’t have survived going up Thanos’ bum
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “Thanos could take a punch from the Hulk, we’ve seen that. And it stands to reason his whole body is at least as strong as that. If Ant-Man expanded, he would be simply crushed against the immovable walls of Thanos’ mighty rectum.”

THE INFINITY WAR AFTERMATH
2) The Snap doesn’t count as a cliffhanger
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “Heroes lose all the time at the end of act two, and it usually lasts five minutes and then they’re back out of it. We didn’t want to do that. It seemed like a cheat. People accuse that first movie of being a cliffhanger, but I’ll go to my grave saying it’s a tragedy. A cliffhanger implies that you’re going to resolve it quickly, and we did not want to do that.”

3) The Snap isn’t just Star Lord’s fault
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “If you’re standing in front of your girlfriend’s father and find out that he just killed your girlfriend, you’re gonna hit him in the face!” argues Markus. “I just think it’s totally emotionally understandable, particularly when you add in the scene where [Quill] was supposed to kill her.” McFeely agrees, pointing out the other Avengers also failed to assassinate Thanos. “[Star Lord] is one of many reasons why they don’t win. All you’ve got to do is cut his head off – Thor’s at fault. Tony and Steve, if they got along there’s a good chance… There’s a lot of blame to go around.”

4) The Hawkeye scene is a tearjerker for Joe Russo
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo:“I’ve got four kids, and it’s a very tragic scene to open the movie with. It’s one of the few scenes in the movie that actually makes me tear up when I watch it, because I think about my own family. And then you think about what would happen to you, as a father. You’d become very self-destructive.”

5) Robert Downey Jr. improvised that ‘Liar!’ moment
Avengers: Endgame

Anthony Russo: “I think that was one of Downey’s most inspired performance moments in the movie. He very much reverts to, this is the guy who felt forsaken by his father – you can see his intimacy and trust issues in that moment when he turns on Cap. Downey performed the scene with a lot of energy. We didn’t do it many times, because he was expending himself so, so much. He understood it very well.”

THE ‘FIVE YEARS LATER’ JUMP
6) The time jump was inspired by whe ‘What If?’ comics
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “By jumping five years, you get to have ‘What if Tony got married and lived happily ever after?’; ‘What if Hulk became basically the only super-hero and was smart?’; ‘What if Cap seemed like he might want to give up?’; ‘What if Natasha never left the house and was the last woman on the wall?’; ‘What if Thor became a fat drunk? That was the idea to do that, but not as What If – keep the stakes. That all happened, it’s all part of canon.”

7) The visual palette shifts to reflect the time jump
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “At ‘Five Years Later’, you’ll notice it gets a lot bluer, cooler tones. We wanted a more depressive mood. The intention was to let the characters and the audience feel the effects of Infinity War, and then slowly transition into a different tone – you’ll notice the movie starts to get funny around Hulk and the diner, where the tone is becoming hopeful again.”

8) The arrival of Brainy Hulk is a beacon of hope
Avengers: Endgame

Anthony Russo: “In terms of the spectrum of how the Avengers were responding to what happened with Thanos, Banner is the sole character who is actually forging into a bright new future, trying to build something totally new and find something completely new. Natasha is trying to maintain, some people are falling apart, but Banner is the one who is most heroic in a sense that he maintains his will to keep trying.”

TIME HEIST!
9) Tony Stark could have visited Asgard
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “Technically in Thor: The Dark World, the Tesseract is in the vault as the Aether is also there. So that sent Tony to Asgard, and he had an invisible stealth suit, and he fought Heimdall, who could of course see him. I think Joe [Russo] went in and said, ‘Why don’t we go in to Avengers? It’s the biggest movie, it’s the most fun, let’s go.'”

10) Thor was reunited with Frigga instead of Jane Foster
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “it wasn’t a romantic relationship he needed to repair. He had some Jane Foster time in one draft. But that didn’t seem like his issue. He’s reduced to a childlike state in his cabin over there in Norway, and he needed advice from his mom, basically. Someone needs to go, ‘You’re OK. You’re a fuck-up, and you’re OK.”

11) There’s a (sort of) cameo by a medieval saint
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “Frigga’s bedroom is the crypt of the Venerable Bede. There’s an actual Saint in that scene, just off camera. We were respectful of the whole place. ‘There’s tacos over by the Bede, there.’”

12) The Stan Lee cameo was based on ‘70s Stan Lee
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “We had particular nostalgic fun with this cameo because we were going to the past,” says Anthony Russo. “We started to look at old photos – our visual effects team is so fluent with de-ageing techniques. We allowed ourselves to become very inspired and excited by old images of Stan. It was great fun. There’s a lot of comic book fans who work on these movies, that’s why they’re attracted to work on these films. The crew gets very used to the movie stars, but when Stan Lee would show up, everybody was 10 again. It was a different energy on the set.”

13) Black Widow’s death wasn’t set in stone
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “We had a version where [Hawkeye] went over. I remember specifically our visual effects supervisor Jen Underdahl was reading it going, ‘Don’t do that. Honour her choice.’ And we took it very seriously. Many of the women on the crew were passionate about giving her the hero moment – don’t take it away from her.”

Joe Russo: “Natasha is fascinating because she used to be a villain. It’s not something you’ve seen on screen before, but she had a life prior to this that was the wrong life. The character had their identity stripped away and was turned into an assassin, then found a new family through her membership in the Avengers. It just seemed an incredibly heroic choice for her to make knowing that she had to sacrifice herself to preserve the future and the family. We saw in Avengers that she’s the better fighter. So if it’s going to come down to fisticuffs about who’s going over that cliff, she’s going to win. And she did win.”

THE SHOWDOWN
14) Thanos intentionally has less screen time
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “It’s definitely an Avengers movie, where the other one wasn’t. We had to give ourselves permission to backseat the villain a little bit. I don’t think anyone in the first half of the movie is going, ‘Oh I wish there was a villain’. You’re rolling around in the loss and the time heist, and you think it’s sort of Avengers against nature.”

15) The 2012 version of Thanos is ‘Warrior Thanos’
Avengers: Endgame

Anthony Russo: “We refer to him as Warrior Thanos, the version of the character before he put down his armour and became enlightened and wanted to search for the stones. He’s angrier – it might be his flaw in the film, that he’s a little bit more precocious and self-confident, not quite as enlightened. He is, oddly for all the damage he does in Infinity War, a mellowed-out, philosophical Thanos. And we wanted the warlord in this movie, who hasn’t quite worked out all the nuances yet.”

16) Hulk lifting Avengers HQ is a Secret Wars nod
Marvel Secret Wars

In the wake of Thanos’ attack on Avengers HQ, the Hulk lifts the piled-up rubble with his incredible bulk – an image that felt familiar to all fans of Marvel’s Secret Wars comic run, which saw the big green guy hold up an entire mountain. According to Joe Russo, the Endgame moment is “one hundred percent” a reference to that stunning comic panel.

17) Thor’s transformation had to stick
Avengers: Endgame

Anthony Russο: “The end of Thor’s journey is not simply a return to who he was before he became depressed. The end of Thor’s journey is the arrival at a new state of understanding of himself and his world. He’s yet another character moving forward. The idea of simply changing him back I think undermined the idea that that’s not who Thor is anymore.”

18) Cap lifting Mjolnir was long planned by Kevin Feige
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “I’m sure it was probably in Kevin’s mind well before [Ultron], which is why he probably asked Joss to include something like that. At some point he wanted to see Cap worthy,” says the director. “But it’s one of those things that you can only pay off with 10 years of storytelling behind it. To know everything that Cap has gone through, and to see who he is as a character and all the choices that he’s made, he is worthy. Even though he’s made mistakes, which is I think fascinating – even in Civil War when he admits to Tony that he withheld the truth from him, it doesn’t alter the fact that he’s worthy.”

19) The portals scene soars thanks to Alan Silvestri
Avengers: Endgame

Anthony Russo: “You have Alan Silvestri score an entire sequence, and that’s when it really comes to life. The sequence didn’t reach its full impact until the score was applied to it.”

Christopher Markus: “They snapped it, and bam – everyone’s there, and then Thanos attacked. It was fine, but the way it is currently makes it feel like the movie’s not done. If you resolve it, then it’s just a skirmish afterwards. But because you have not completed the primary task – everybody is not back yet – it still feels like there’s a lot in the balance.”

Joe Russo: “Honestly, I think it’s pretty close to the Director’s Cut in terms of the structure. We always knew that the most emotionally satisfying, arousing [thing] would be T’Challa turning up with the Wakandan army. You’re in a moment now where you realise that Thanos has brought thousands of his minions to destroy the Earth. What’s going to stand against this? Well, here comes Wakanda. That’s an incredible moment. Peter Parker would be the other really emotional character return. It was structuring that sequence in a way that it kept building on itself as it went.”

TONY STARK, RIP
20) Marvel didn’t insist on Tony Stark’s death
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “Marvel as a whole said, ‘We think it might be a time [for Tony to die], but if you have a good reason not to do it, feel free – we’ll do whatever. But it really did seem like, particularly with what Tony experiences after the five year break – that he has gotten married, had a kid, and is living a very healthy, peaceful life for once, and he’s had five full years of no surprises – that there wasn’t anywhere left that he needed to go. This was a guy who had made his full journey, all the way to the end, had experienced a full rehabilitation of his character from being the douchebag in the back of the Humvee at the beginning of the first Iron Man. To have him make the sacrifice that Steve Rogers would have made had he had the opportunity at that moment, just felt really right.”

21) It was logical that Tony’s death would be snap-related
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “We knew that the Gauntlet would have to undo the Gauntlet – it just seemed like a balanced way to approach the storytelling. All these questions just become logical. Who has the technical know-how to create something that could hold the Stones? It would take a genius like Tony Stark to figure it out. He uses nanotech because Hulk’s got to put it on, Thanos has to put it on, Tony has to put it on – one size fits all. This is all part of Doctor Strange’s sad plan, to keep Tony alive at the end of Infinity War only so he could die later saving everyone. We felt like there was an incredible amount of tragedy in that.”

22) It was RDJ’s choice for Tony Stark to die quietly
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “Robert was like, ‘I’m not going to say fucking anything. I don’t want to talk, because it doesn’t feel honest to me. And I don’t think in that moment that he’d have the ability to speak. He was like, ‘I’m going to lay here, and you can let it unfold with the other characters, but I’m going to barely interact because that feels like a truthful choice to me. To have a character in that much pain, on the verge of death, it was important for us to create the feeling that when you looked at Tony Stark in that moment, you knew he was dying, and you had to process that in that moment,”.

23) Tony’s sacrifice changes the emphasis of Infinity War’s ending
Avengers: Endgame

Stephen McFeely: “Cumberbatch takes a really long pregnant pause. And now that you know that he’s looking ahead to Endgame and Tony dying, and he says, ‘One’, you will only read it as, ‘You have to die – there’s no other way.”

24) Killing Cap would have been too depressing
Avengers: Endgame

Joe Russo: “Once you kill a beloved character like [Tony], you’ve got to have hope at the end of the movie in some regard, and the only person to give you that hope is the other co-lead. Had we killed both the leads, I feel like people would have been walking out into traffic after the film. The intention is not to destroy people, it’s to hopefully tell a complex and dimensionalised story in a way, that makes them feel a varied range of emotion.”

25) The overriding theme is sacrifice
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “Black Widow sacrifices herself. Tony sacrifices himself. Steve, whose stock in trade is sacrificing himself, manages not to. It’s a nice reversal there. It’s not fixed at the end – it’s undone, but the five years are still there. The trauma is still existent.”

THE FUTURE
26) The dead characters won’t be rebooted any time soon
Avengers: Endgame

Christopher Markus: “It’s the nature of the MCU. It’s not a place where you can reboot one and suddenly Iron Man is 15 years old and everyone else is still the same age. The characters have to pass out, and the universe has to still stand. So if you’re going to take people off the board, they’ve got to go for real. Granted, these are movies. I understand that somebody has made some kind of announcement that has the word ‘Vision’ in it, so I mean…”
