Even though the weekend isn't over, they're saying Endgame has grossed over $1,200,000,000 worldwide this weekend, with more than 100,000,000 people seeing the movie.  That's roughly one out of every 75 people on the planet.

That's pretty amazing in all senses of the word.  First of all, it's amazing that many people have the leisure time to go entertain themselves.  It's amazing that humanity has spent essentially 70,000 person-years of GDP (using world per-capita GDP of $17,300) to go see the thing.

I heard about a friend-of-a-friend who went to see it in theaters two days in a row.

Does seem like quite the time commitment, doesn't it?

It definitely seems like the most popular Avengers movie to date. Even my mom wants to drag me to see it.

The quality of Avengers movies has been hit or miss IMO and this is easily the best by a mile.  Previously I'd have said Infinity War was the best, or the original Avengers movie, but this one beats out both for me.

I guess it is amazing, but it's also kind of depressing. I don't mean to sound like a hipster, but when so many people want to go have exactly the same experience it feels like we've gotten too culturally homogeneous.

That is exactly the most hipster-ish response that could be said in this discussion.

I mean, they spent at least a decade probing markets with movies in pretty much the same series, all of which had hype for this one. It doesn't mean anything particularly weird, it just means that their strategy worked.

I hang my head in shame... Verily, you have bested me. This was always the correct response, and I was blind to have not seen it.

Also I agree that botany is OP when/if they have direct access to a grinder, but back in the day when they had to finagle the *chef*?  Chemists, pah.  Whining because the public service department gets access to their toys.

I sort of shuffled through my retail job today. It's only for the weekend, I know, but it's somewhat discouraging to think of all the time I've spent building bricks for my future, yet there's an extremely good chance the next few years of life will see me be a full-time retail shuffler.

The WTF part being that it was so extremely boring. There was nothing to do today at all. I tried to look busy shifting things around, and that's it. Some foreign fella clicked his fingers at me and called me 'boy', and that's about as much excitement as I got.

I am miffed. Went to see Avengers today. Film was great, and I shan't talk about its content any more, and I ask none spoil it either.

I am miffed because in the last 20min the power went out and the cinema had to cease all operations for the rest of the day because there's a fucking end times-tier storm going on. Grumble.

As a chem I give mutagen to botany and what do I get for thanks?  Tomatoes filled with bees.

Then again chem is like target #1 for obtaining dangerous bullshit to antag with.

Guys, remember that non-spoilers are still unpleasant. They occupy parts of your brain and make you waste energy dismissing them.
