I would take it for granted that is how the Hulk would probably die.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

I'm not very excited for Endgame. Something about it, isn't doing it for me.

Same. Personally, based off what I've read and how it's looking, I just don't think it can follow up Infinity War satisfyingly

Well, you know they're not revealing much of anything meaningful in the trailers. IW outright fabricated a lot of the trailer material, and the same is likely true here. I've only watched the first trailer, though, so I have no idea what I'm talking about.

For me, I think the hype's not really there because... well, this is part two. The hype was all sort of building to this incredible crescendo with Infinity War, and we didn't really know what to expect beyond 'Thanos shows up and gets the Stones. Action and team-ups ensue.' And now we're there, we have the first half of the story told, and this'll be the part where the heroes all come together and, likely with some big-name casualties, find a way to save the day. The details are still shrouded in mystery, of course, and I'm sure it'll be a total freaking blast to watch, but it just can't help but feel less exciting than the run-up to Infinity War was.

Also, some big, radioactive lizards and a bug are kinda hogging all the damn hype for themselves. Don't they know there's only so much to go around? Jackasses.

Considering that it seems Dougherty took at least some inspiration from The Giant Claw for his depiction of Rodan (or at least paid some homage to it) it's funny how badmovies.org turned out to be right after a fashion

King K. Rool IMO is by far the best Nintendo villain. He's even better than Bowser and by far among my most favorite villains ever.

Characters and real life war heroes having iconic scars given to them from mundane tasks is more interesting than some epic battle in a war imo. Example: WWII Us General George S. Patton had only one scar from the military. All of the rest of his scars were from playing football or riding horses, which is more interesting and fun than say a samurai getting his eye slashed out by his greatest rival samurai.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Imo if someone tells me "yeah I got this scar on my eye from a soccer game when the ball hit me in the head", I really wouldn't care nor find it as interesting as someone that tells me "Yeah I just got my eye slashed out by my greatest samurai rival".

Especially in comic books and films where things are normally portrayed as larger than life.

I understand what they are saying......Since these guys lives revolve around explosions, wars and fights having them get hurt by something as small as a cat means more....similar to how we live boring mundane lives and for us to have a Samurai sword fight and loosing an eye would be the tremendous.....for them its the reverse.

We tell war scar stories

Heroes tell everyday occurences stories
