Well, enjoy her, because in 12 years half of all life on Earth will be extinct!

Snap!





Sidenote: I bet Trump survives. The universe is like that.

If he does, I hope the snap takes me.

Maybe. But I don't think we've seen the last of anybody. I see Phase 5 as the ST of the MCU...

Nah, there's too much potential. There's so much they can still do with Thanos and he doesn't even have to be the villain. The F4 reboot also has me excited, mainly because of Dr. Doom.

Mehhh im more of an Xmen guy, cant wait to see Gambit Cajun Slashing across the big screen

I hate the Toxic fandom the mcu has created, its like common, 20 years we had blade and prior to that ****** marvel movies now they are spoiled with movies and shows galore, then they sideline DC like it has not been a brand for the past 80 years or so but blehhhh mcu this mcu that, i have watched every film opening night since the first iron man and its funny how much of it has changed, you could not get away with half the **** tony stark did in the first film today lolol.

My favorite mcu film of all time is the Ca: The Winter Soldier, i’m more of a practical movie and effects type of guy

For anyone outside the US who doesn't know who this woman is consider yourself lucky, lol.

She's just another symptom of the polarization of politics, the anti-Trump, the other side of the same coin.

Sadly the "sensible centre" is too boring to get any attention in the social media age.

Both you and Khev are probably on the complete opposite sides of the ideological coin yet both of you absolutely love Alita.

See movies really do bring people together at least way more than Dr. Pepper ever did lol

I remember in my travels at an airport I saw a Coke add that said “Coke, bringing India and Pakistan together” lol

I saw the movies but I honestly don't know if it's THAN-ohs or THAY-nos.

I still don’t get the Eternals. That was an odd way to go.

Top 6 opening weekends in 2019 belong to Disney.

SIX!

That’s insane.

If you look at the chart of the highest domestic opening weekends of all time, Disney owns 12 of the top 13.
And 7 of those are from the MCU.

Have you picked up your copy yet???

I’m buying it today after work at the very least it will be worth owning just for a 3D demo so if I like the story that will just be icing on the cake.

I hope phase 4 is more creative with their movie posters.

I passed on the discs for now (despite the BB Steelbook coming back into stock last night) since the majority of the film was IMAX and they cropped it for the physical release. I'll wait and see what the prices are on Black Friday but I don't see myself watching anything other than the open matte digital version provided by Movies Anywhere and Xfinity for the time being.

The 3D is insanely awesome though.

Wait the digital versions have proper ratios?

I wonder if the digital copy from the blu-ray has it then?

Not all digital versions, *only* the digital version purchased via the "Movies Anywhere" app and then synced to an Xfinity cable TV account. I kid you not that's the only way to see the entire picture at home. If you watch the digital version included with the discs, cropped. If you watch it via Xfinity On-Demand, cropped. If you buy it on Movies Anywhere and then watch it via the MA app on your phone, cropped. You MUST purchase it through MA and then watch it through Xfinity on your TV. How's that for hoops to jump through, lol.

Or you can fly Delta Airlines right now because I just took a trip and they were showing the uncropped version on the flight.

Holy crap dude I don’t know if I should cry or laugh

Don’t even get me started on the differences in 3D quality from the higher quality frame packing on discs vs the reduced resolution SbS/TaB method on streaming.

So now with MA/Xfinity you’re getting the proper ratio yet the lower quality 3D!

I hate this industry lol

I don't even have 3D, just 1080p 2D, lol. But I can't sacrifice that much of the picture so like with Harmy SW I'll accept slightly lower PQ in favor of getting the full movie I saw at the theater. Here's a post of mine from a couple weeks back in the Alita thread showing the differences and then my own TV at the bottom:

So, you won't watch 3D?

Glad you found it, I tried to post the comparison pics so many times


Edit... I wonder if Alita is streamed through comcast Movies Anywhere, from the copy you get with the digital code. If it will appear with IMAX ratio?

I only watch movies on my larger 4K set so no, no 3D for me. Which on one hand is a bummer since the 3D for Alita in the theater was spectacular. Of course my dream would be IMAX + 4K + 3D but that obviously isn't happening any time soon, lol.

But even with 3D I just can't accept losing that much of the image. And the Xfinity Open Matte version was being reported to actually show even *more* than IMAX and based on what I just watched those reports appear to be correct. Note that the upper right and bottom left screenshots show more than the IMAX image in the bottom right. And then farther below is a pic of that same shot on my actual TV and it does line up with those two images that are even more expanded than IMAX.

Screw that upper left image, lol.

Man are we getting shafted by the Disney MCU releases lol

They really should get that Infinity Saga boxset out before November or millions of people will just say screw it and watch everything on Disney+.

Jim Starlin, co-creator of Thanos:

The one thing they did and I will never forgive the Russos and [writers] Markus and McFeely was they brought that weapon he had in, which is inspired from the Thanos helicopter which most everybody had almost forgot all about. Originally, the ThanosCopter was created by Larry Lieber for some kids' books called Spidey Super Stories. Thanos was running around robbing banks with the name Thanos written on the side of his copter which always struck me as a little strange all by itself. But I tried to ignore it and I thought people had forgot about it, but they stuck it in the movie. I had a couple of writers credit me with creating it and I'm like, ‘No, it wasn't me.’

Also:

"Talking about his character's journey on screen, Starlin reflected that before Infinity War, he was just hopeful that it wouldn't be like Daredevil (the movie, not the TV show).

"I came in there thinking that as long as it wasn't bad, I was coming out a winner on it. As long as it wasn't the Daredevil movie, as long as it wasn't a lot of other terrible movies that have been made on comic book characters," he said.

Starlin added that co-director Joe Russo did worry him a little bit as he emailed him saying that they had cut the backstory for Thanos out of the movie.
"I had just made the mistake of watching Justice League about a week before [Infinity War] and all I could think of when he told me this was, 'That could easily come out to be like the Justice League movie'," he continued.

"I got inside and, like, two minutes, the Hulk didn't have to get his ass beat before I could say, 'Forget it Jim, this is gonna work out just fine'."
