How do you see Howard the Duck in Avengers:Endgame?

[edit]

I understand that there is a scene in Avengers: Endgame that features Howard the Duck. I have seen the movie several times but I have never been able to spot Howard the Duck, even though I am aware that he appears in the big fight scene toward the end of the movie. Can someone give me advice on watching the film that will be specific enough to help me see him? Freeknowledgecreator (talk) 10:13, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I googled on "howard the duck" and "avengers endgame" and this was one of the first few hits. Will that do? --76.69.116.4 (talk) 10:22, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that's helpful, but a different site would be better, as a subscription banner blocks the screen after a few moments when I look at the site you linked to above. Freeknowledgecreator (talk) 11:29, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's OK to paste it here, since it's for reference purposes and we include the full link above. I did a CTRL A to select all text, and a CTRL C to copy it, before the ad popped up. Then I did a CTRL V to paste it here and removed the ad text:

[Howard the Duck] appears during the final strike against Thanos, when Captain America calls upon the Marvel Universe to “assemble” — a moment that will live on in eternity, and [Howard is] wielding a BFG right out of DOOM.

(Most of the text I had here was removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Entertainment&curid=8536201&diff=915094708&oldid=915075260)

an application named Scoompa

[edit]

or something like that. It's a kind of video editor, that takes single pictures and creates a movie. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't find any article here dealing with this application, or is it not ? בנצי (talk) 19:29, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The most likely explanation is that nobody has bothered to create an article for Scoompa. I'm not here to judge though. It may be notable per WP:CORP. †dismas†|(talk) 20:37, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm surprised though, based on the fact that it's quite popular, or isn't it ? Let see. בנצי (talk) 08:59, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've never heard of it. Googling it I see a series of apps for Android that make collages and slideshows, apply filters to faces, etc. [1]. There are many such apps from others, and I'm not sure how notable each one is. SinisterLefty (talk) 15:50, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Your reference is the one I've been looking for, on its various versions (pictures, editing, video). By the way, I've googled it myself, before raising the question, but didn't yield as much.
Comment: Actually, it includes collage maker tool, but has also a video tool that creates a footage out of a succession of picures.
All the best, בנצי (talk) 21:03, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved

where is my recent question

[edit]

or what exactly happened to it ? It's under 6.2. Thank you. בנצי (talk) 19:45, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is fixed already. בנצי (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
First, note that the number 6.2 will change over time as old queries are removed from the top of the page. At the moment it's 5.2.
As to what happened, most likely when you returned to the page to look for answers, you got a cached version that was some minutes or hours old. To force the latest version to appear, you can purge the cache. That article lists a number of ways to do this, but what I do is to use the URL that the Edit link at the top of the page gives, but change the word edit at the end of the URL to purge. Then just open that page and click OK. --76.69.116.4 (talk) 08:28, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
