I Don't Care What Avengers: Endgame Says

This is a great film.

It's original rather than the 21st sequel in a franchise adapted from a fifty-year-old comic-book. It's gracefully plotted and the time-travel shenanigans actually have consequences, rather than allowing for 'multiple time-line' cop-outs. And it uses effects very sparingly, rather than reducing all its characters to a bunch of CGI pixels whizzing through the air and, ironically for such smugly 'scientific' films, defying the laws of physics.

Also, it doesn't pander and worry what the Twitter PC Police will think.

Yes, this film gets attacked heavily a lot these days for racism, sexism, classism, conservatism and so on, but speaking as an anti-racist, feminist left-winger I didn't give a shit about any of that when I was five, and I still don't care, because irrespective of politics THIS IS A GREAT FRICKIN FILM. I'm just so grateful Twitter didn't exist in 1985!

Yes, it's a great film.

To be honest, I don't think BTTF was criticized at all in Endgame, it was just used as an example to say the movie uses different time travel 'rules'. It was also done in a humorous way.

I didn't know this film was attacked like you say, but if true, it's quite sad. I'm glad I don't use Twitter!

no doubt, Endgame is half the film this is

It's not only about Twitter, but more about how easily people are offended nowadays. I am now scared to say anything that might possibly offend someone, I didn't feel that way a few years back...
