Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)
Yea true. But I’m given marvel’s track record with villains I wanted to see some threatening foes. Foes that black widow can’t handle . But eh.
Certainly that's fine for a comic - but we've long established that the films rebalance a lot to make it actually enjoyable. You can't directly take a comic to screen, it's boring. If Thor was full comic powered he'd just **** on everyone without blinking an eye - that's not fun to watch, there's no story to be told there. No reason not to accept some BS when you accept that Banner wasn't dead from levels of gamma ray exposure he received.
Let our heroes have an upper hand for a minute before they get demolished, as promised, in this film. They are Earth's mightiest heroes, after all. Show that.
If you're in marketing, you pick the scene that makes people's favorite characters seem powerful, not the ones you've never seen before. That's why this was released early. And again, this has no context. Were they caught off guard? Did they just fight Scarlet Witch and Vision (two which would go up against them more fairly?) If they abide by fairly realistic biology, they too can get tired lol.
Plus this just as easily can be thrown into the first example of Glaive's abilities of immortality with so long as his weapon is unbroken. Maybe he doesn't give a **** and will stand right back up after this clip once he's healed up. Midnight's "get up" is demanding, not begging. She probably knows he can and will be fine.
Point is, it's silly to get your knickers in a twist over an action sequence with no film context. I can clearly make as much of an argument for as there is against, which validates the ambiguity of context.
