I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

• Images appropriately licensed
• First readthrough is done; nothing jumps out at me
• Due to its size, I'll be doing this in sections starting tomorrow--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
• Earwig says 47.9%, but I think that that's a result of the extensive use of quotes.

  Sturmvogel 66 Quotes have been reduced so everything should be better on earwig now. -- ZooBlazer 03:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

  You did a really good job properly marking and citing your quotes so that really wasn't anything that I was concerned about. I'll be able to resume reviewing on Monday. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

• Marvel simply shortened the first as Avengers: Infinity War and left the second as untitled that July. Awkward. I'd suggest moving the date to the beginning of the sentence

  Reworded -- ZooBlazer

• speculation about the second film's title getting Clarify that this is Endgame being referred to

  The title reveal is revealed in the next sentence. -- ZooBlazer

  I know, but it still threw a little.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

  I changed it from second film to untitled film. Does that work for you? -- ZooBlazer

  That's fine.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

• Extensive spotchecking thus far has revealed no issues with either close paraphrasing or sourcing
• Down to Writing--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
• such as a moment when delete "moment"

   Done -- ZooBlazer

• Spot checks looking good
• Down to character selection.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• After Starlin, who created Thanos, Gamora, and Drax, expressed dissatisfaction with his pay for the aforementioned characters,[103] Disney renegotiated his agreement for Thanos's appearance in Infinity War and Endgame. This is out of place as it has little to nothing to do with the paragraph in which it's located.

  Removed it because I'm not sure it even fit the article. -- ZooBlazer

  I have restore this but moved it and gave it a c/e, hopefully it works better now? - adamstom97 (talk) 18:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

  Looks OK--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

• Link agent, maquette, production designer, time travel, credits, cross-board

  Mostly done. Linked a couple types of agents and I don't think there is a suitable link for cross-board. -- ZooBlazer

  Then can you elaborate the explanation a bit?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

  It's part of a direct quote referring to not being able to film the movies back to back. I think it is pretty easy to figure out what is being said in that situation. -- ZooBlazer

• Champion only had a one-day shoot which he spent with Paul Rudd, whom he felt to be one of the friendly actors he has worked with due to how they spent that whole day together. Awkward, rephrase

  Removed the last part starting with "due" -- ZooBlazer

• Add a hyphen to time travel suit because it's a compound adjective

  Done -- ZooBlazer

• mixture of Ant-Man, Iron Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy technology Italicize the film titles

  Those refer to the characters/team, not the films. -- ZooBlazer

  I don't think that readers are going to understand that distinction.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

  I have updated the wording for this to try make this distinction clearer. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

  That'll work--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

• Down to Filming--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
• Link Edinburgh, Glasgow, Thailand, mise-en-scène, blocking, visual effect plates

  All done except blocking, which is already linked, and visual effect plates which doesn't have a good article to link to other than probably just visual effects. -- ZooBlazer

  I was really hoping that there was a link for visual effect plates as that term really doesn't make sense on its own, even when reading the source article. It appears to be a term of art within the industry possibly descended from matte painting and/or compositing, but at least readers are told it relates to visual effects.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 07:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

• Down to Visual Effects--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
• Move the link for Weta Digital to the first use

  Done -- ZooBlazer

• As with previous MCU films, Lola worked on the de-aging sequences; Endgame features 200 de-aging and aging shots. Awkward

  Cleaned it up a bit -- ZooBlazer

• Additionally, a rig and feather groom was also used in order to put Howard into the VFX team's pipeline and animation. what does this even mean? There's also a mistake in the quote.

  Fixed the wording. A feather groom is just a physical visual on set for the VFX team to use. -- ZooBlazer

  Looks good, but I'm still balking on pipeline and animation. The two seem incongruous. One or the other?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:08, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

  I have done a further c/e, some of the more technical VFX details weren't needed. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

  I've tweaked the wording a little. Feel free to revert if desired.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

• You've done a superb job with this article. I'd recommend that you nominate it for FAC.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

  Appreciate it. Getting this to FAC would be great. I know some things would need cleaned up further for those standards, including replacing or removing many lower tier refs like Screen Rant, which are fine for GA, but not great for FA. Also, addressed your newest comments Sturmvogel 66. -- ZooBlazer 08:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
