I think it's a little unfair to characterize Cameron as a misogynist. He was just saying that wonder woman wasn't a groundbreaking movie which is fair.
Also, he has a history of strong female characters in his films.
Perhaps but the language used and manner of it smacked of bitterness and jealousy.
He hit huge backlash for it. Especially as it was taken up by that toxic element online and they rallied and went to town with it.
I agree with him Wonder Woman wasn’t all that special but he could have as easily just shut up.
If you don’t like something just don’t comment on it.
It’s not that hard.
What kind of nonsense is this? Are we all ten-year-olds? People are allowed to criticize things.
Not if you don't see it.
BOOM!!!
Very good point. That goes for the Ewok movies as well.
Without seeing them I know both are better than several marvel movies.

I’ve saw the first two Avengers movies, and I saw The Winter Soldier. That was plenty.
The last two are clearly better.
That’s not saying much.

My coworker is discussing Endgame on the phone with someone.
"so you're telling me you have all the Avengers and they can't beat him even when he doesn't have any infinity stones? but the lady with the red hands can take him one-on-one?"
Very cool read:

So hang on.
Cap didn’t use the Time thing to come back at all.
He just went back In time, lived his whole life, then rocked up on the exact day and hour and sat down on the bench.
That’s why he didn’t come through the machine.
Now I get it

That's not what the directors say -- they've stated in interviews that Cap lives out a life in a brand new timeline. That said, of course it's open to interpretation, and I understand there's some disagreement about it (the screenwriters seem to have their own theory).
My own take on it lines up with what the Russos said. Cap goes back, lives out a long and happy life with Peggy (maybe even doing some superhero shit) in an alternate timeline, and then goes back to the main timeline to say goodbye to his friends. Why doesn't he go appear in the time-machine thing that he left in? Well, I think there's both a story justification and a directorial justification. The story justification is that Cap has that time GPS wrist thing as well as a bunch of Pym particles, so he can hop back and forth between time and space (as he's been doing to return the stones to their timelines) -- there is no actual need for him to go through the machine. The machine is just what he used to enter the time stream. The directorial justification is that having Cap disappear for a moment, creating a mild panic, and then having the guys slowly come to the realization that he's the figure sitting off in the bench is simply more dramatic, interesting and satisfying than having him just appear immediately in the same spot as an old man.
Having him go back in time and live a lifetime in the main timeline not only contradicts the movie's time travel logic (they explain -- and we are shown -- that changing the past doesn't alter the future, instead creating a new timeline) but it also opens the door to a bunch of continuity and character problems. Does Steve Rogers just lay low while Hydra is torturing and brainwashing Bucky? Does he sit idly by as the snap from Infinity War happens, creating unspeakable anguish for literally billions? How about the times he met Peggy as an old woman -- are those no longer canon? It doesn't sit well with what we've seen.

That’s what I originally thought too.
But you could take it either way I guess.
No way someone like him with such a moral imperative would be able to remain hidden and not take part. Even while the other him is on ice in the same time.
It’s a thinker for sure. I like it either way.
