Then death lol



At least he went out Xenomorph style.

Man Wor is going to love him even more now lol



Thanks I worked hard on that review lol

Oh man

Spoiler

Red Skull the Destroyer

my man didn’t even feel threatened by Thanos!

I can't believe that after six years of buildup they delivered the goods with Thanos. At one point during the battle on Titan I literally thought he was going to pull the moon out of the sky just to crush Stark with it, lol. I think that that last shot of

Spoiler

him relaxing and savoring the sunset

will resonate for a very long time.

Spoiler

Even if he gets his comeuppance next year that will always be one hell of a note for a film to end on.

Yeah and it was also cool they used a real location for his end shot.

I think Stark did get hit by a huge flaming piece of that moon payback for dropping one on Thanos’s head lol

Just got back from my second and last theater viewing. Sold out show, nobody applauded, and the total stranger next to me goes "Well that sucked". What actually sucked no idea. I had to explain to the people next to me who Captain Marvel was.

Sure a lot of people like this but the Wakanda battle was IMO a missed, rushed through opportunity and waste of some of the MCU's best fighters. Along with the other issues. Still can't get over IW being GOGTG 2.5 etc. Or Spidey 1.5. For sure Thanos didn't register with me. Or he did but there was so much talk, predictable stuff, and ponderousness I lost interest.

6-6.5/10 for me. Now I know what the people who were disappointed in TLJ felt like. Still don't know what that bit with the kid Gamora was supposed to be at the end just more weirdness taking up screen time.

The song used at the end when thanos smiles at the sunset is amazing. Is the soundtrack out?

That’s just crazy. I know most of them are probably coming back, but the more I dwell on it, the more I feel like they might shock us in A4.

I honestly don't see him as a true villain. According to him, he's the only one who truly understands what it takes to save the universe, and he's the only one who is willing to do what's necessary for the greater good. Even he sacrificed something for half of the universe to live in peace. He almost lost his life in the process too.

Even the way he ended half of life was done quick, with no intention to cause suffering or pain, which he could have done if he was truly evil. People might value their love ones over the well being of the universe itself, which is the human thing to do, but Thanos looks beyond his own life, relationships, and did what was necessary to ensure the universe doesn't collapse like his home world. He's the first "villain" I've seen that comes across as truly logical and admirable.

Yes! I got chills while people were crying around me during that scene. They realized he actually won.

He's every bit a "math" guy as Dr. Strange claimed to be. Everyone sees him as murdering 50% of all life but he sees himself as saving the other 50% instead of letting them all die. Fascinating.

Sorry you feel that way it really sucks when a fellow fan gets let down.

I was like that with Justice League, Black Panther, Ready Player One and A Quiet Place none of those resonated with me.

TLJ and Thor 3 are the only 2 movies I liked, not loved mind you, but liked in the last 7 months!

IW while also “temporarily” flawed was also rather thrilling for me.

Temporarily because like JAWS said ALOT is riding on IW2!

Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)

My own humble thoughts....

Spoiler

Infinity War is great...overall. The acting is not much of a discussion as it's universally great as most of these actors have played these characters 3-5x a piece now. Nothing new there. Josh Brolin stands out as Thanos as we had no real idea what to expect from him but he delivers to the point that you often forget he's an effect. Zoe Saldana also stands out as this is the most we've ever gotten out of her Gamora character. Out of the three main hero journeys we follow, the best is probably the Iron Man/Dr. Strange/Spider-man/Guardians stuff. It has some of the best hero teamup fight scenes, the best character interactions, the best of everything. Thor and Rocket and Groot also work due to their humor and interaction. Faring the least of the three main storylines is Team Cap and his group in Wakanda. Vision and Scarlet Witch had a lot to do but the others in their don't do as much, particularly Cap himself. Theirin lies the problem with Infinity War, it's just not that deep. It plays more like a season finale than a series finale and it ends on a pretty obvious cliffhanger. It's an effective one though as both times I saw it, my audience seemed really frusturated and upset by the last few scenes. There was even some crying when Groot and Spider-man were dying. Even though it wasn't Hugo Weaving, the Red Skull cameo was awesome. So many wonderful bits of dialogue and fun lines throughout the film. Just so much to love. This is easily in my top 5 Marvel films and I can't wait to see how the next 3 play out. Sucks that Hawkeye didn't appear at all though.

Perfect from both of you which is rather rare for Clown I might add lol

Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)

and my favorite stuff...

Spoiler

-"we have a Hulk" and Hulk getting beatdown by Thanos.
-Loki's death and how it affected Thor
-The fight between Strange/Iron Man/Spidey/Wong and Ebony Maw. One of the best sequences in the whole film.
-All of the dialogue between the Guardians and Thor when they meet him. In fact, pretty much everything that came out of Drax, Mantis and Starlord's mouths through the whole film.
-"There's an Ant-man AND a Spider-man?"
-RED SKULL
-When Captain America first appears behind that train, my crowd went nuts and so did I. The first part where Vision and Wanda are fighting the black order was cool anyway but when Cap, Widow and Falcon joined in and they played the Avengers theme, it got even better.
-"YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOO SCREWED". Bruce Banner was unusually cheerful and jokey throughout the movie.
-"Have you guys ever seen this old movie, Aliens?" lol
-"WHY is Gamora?" hehehhehe
-When Thor, Rocket and Groot arrive in Wakanda. Whole crowd went nuts
-Bucky picking up Rocket and using him to shoot bad guys
-"Why was she up there and not down here?" hehhehe
-The Guardians first fight with Thanos was shocking and tense. Loved it.
-Iron Man, Strange, Spidey, and the Guardians final fight with Thanos. Every moment was pure cinematic gold.
-Dr. STRANGE throughout the whole movie. He was incredible throughout.
-"I am Groot". "I am Steve Rogers"
-The Wakanda battle was overall cool. It lacked the intensity of the Thanos vs. Iron Man and friends on Titan though.
-After Thanos snapped his fingers. The deaths that seemed to floor people the most were Groot and Spider-man. Spider-man's is particularly sad.
-The after credits scene. How fitting that Fury's final words were "Mother fu****". hehheh.

There was just so much to love.

Pretty much. Which side do you take, slow eventual death and suffering, or quick death to maintain the balance and peace?

Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)

It was refreshing to have a comic villain not motivated by money, power, or simply trying to destroy the world just because it's what maniac antagonists do.

Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)

So i’m assuming they’re saving showing Xandar’s destruction for either CM or A4?

Oh why wasn’t Starlords half ancient Celestial bloodline touched upon on his fight with Thanos?

Re: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR - (April 27, 2018)

Showing that could make Thanos look more like a villain, depending on how it all went down. My guess, he and the black order shows up with his army, he asks for the stone, and prefers not to destroy Xandar, but they do not take his offer.

I would rather see a flashback of Thanos as a kid in Titan. It would be a hell of a twist if it turns out that he destroyed his planet and he lied in IW. After all, he is the only one in Titan that look the way he does and his own mother tried to murder him as a baby because of his deformity.

How do you think it should have been brought up since his Celestial powers vanished when they blew up Ego.
