Movies AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Thread v.10

[TSO]

The way the films portray Drax I'd say isn't less powerful than someone like Widow but simply very rash, rushing into confrontations with incredibly powerful enemies head on and getting his ass kicked as a result.

You can see when he does fight smarter he's effective against Thanos on Titan helping to get him down.

Less powerful than window? Yeah, nobody is less powerful than her she's a regular chick that does martial arts.

It was a main part of the winter soldier to civil war story.

Fair enough. They built both guys new gear in this movie too.

Well, watched it yesterday, but the room I was, was cold as hell and the screen was too dark imo, it stole from the experience for me. I couldn't even recognize Red Skull under the hood. At least I paid half for the tickets.

But I thought is was great, lots of battles, fan service and finally showed the strong guys as strong guys. I just wanted Thanos to be stronger, but if he was, the Avengers would need to pull something from their asses in the next movie and this is not Dragonball, since I believe Captain Marvel alone wouldn't be enough.

A girl that was at my side begun crying when Vision died the first time and just stopped when the movie ended lol.

Have seen it twice, great movie

Thoughts:
Someone who's educated on the comics, how can Thor hit Thanos with stormbreaker when Thanos sees it coming a mile away and has ALL the infinity stones? Stormbreaker> Gauntlet? How do you kill Thor? He survived a huge explosion and was drifting in space..and was hit with the full power of a star..and was fine. Can he even die?

Ebony Maw stole all the scenes he was in. I loved his creepy monologues. He died way too easily and should have been kept around. I HATE when they do some resurrection/magic bullshit but I wouldn't mind seeing that guy back somehow.

Hulk being a pussy was lame. They better be setting him up for an epic scene in AV4 where he turns to hulk again and starts wrecking everybody

Is Dr. Strange that powerful that he was battling Thanos with 4 stones pretty well even without the time stone?

How were those things getting through the Wakanda shield without dying? Some were dying, some weren't.
Also, like a poster above me said, they're trying to make Wakanda a little african looking with the spears and shit. You're so advanced but still using spears as a primary weapon? C'mon, we get it, you're in Africa..but use guns or something.


These are just some minor nitpicking, it's a movie based on fake super heroes after all. But this movie was awesome and lived up to all the expectations. I already can't wait for AV4.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

Damn I didn't even put together the Red Skull thing, was that actually him on the Soul Stone planet?

 

[MMA since 1993]

Can you imagine this happening now?

is it dat bent over ass or drax's arm making him say "interesting"

 

[MayhemMonkey]

One stone beat Dormannu, even in his universe. Six stones puts him in a grave.

oh ffs dont get him started on Dormammu again lol

 

[MayhemMonkey]

@heavyarms21

think I may have found my new AV lol

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Why was Cap the only person who could find Vision?

they obviously knew where Scarlet Witch was.... Banner calls Cap after the fight in New York. So Im guessing they knew Wanda was with Vision

Thoughts of Drax's ass?

Less powerful than window? Yeah, nobody is less powerful than her she's a regular chick that does martial arts.

It does really come down to how these Marvel films work though doesn't it? they do obviously have levels of power a lot of the way things unfold is down to character.

I would say as well that having differing power levels can be effective in terms of story telling. In WInter Solider for example having someone like Widow who was clearly very competent by "normal" standards getting her ass kicked by Bucky obviously helped sell his threat.

That's another issue DC have for me, the characters are all so powerful it loses a more normal perspective and gets locked into a "big, bigger, biggest" style which is I think both lacking in human scale and simply boring.

This film by comparison still had some more small scale action scenes and even in the bigger confrontations we were constantly seeing something interesting rather than just "more power".

 

[MayhemMonkey]

ffs why isnt my AV working properly?

 

[Lovestorm]

Minus the Infinity Gauntlet, what exactly is Thanos' powerset? Is he just really strong? I'm guessing he's reasonably vulnerable as Gamora believed she killed him in that illusion.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Less powerful than window? Yeah, nobody is less powerful than her she's a regular chick that does martial arts.

actually in the comics Widow was enhanced with a soviet version of the super soldier serum

Too big. Gotta make it smaller.

Too big. Gotta make it smaller.

oh ok, thanks man

Not trying to put stunt doubles out of work but I just found out that people like Chris Evans does a ton of his own stunts maybe not as crazy as Tom Cruz but pretty impressively crazy. Apparently much more then other actors by some margin. He loves the physicality of stunts and risk involved and he likes to push himself through them. Kinda like Jackie Chan, Burt Reynolds and Tom Cruz and I am sure a few others. I think it's pretty great when actors do their own stunts something lends some cred to the part.

Though the films haven't hinted at that have they? it seems suggested that if she's abnormal its a product of very intensive training from a young age.

I do wonder whether they might push her as if not a direct replacement then somewhat of a continuation of Rogers should he die/retire. I mean both of the Cap films spent a lot of time basically setting up him converting her from a more ruthless pragmatic view to a more moral one like his own.

they havent really explained any of her back story other than the vision she got from Scarlet Witch in AoU. seeing as its the same character and she has kicked ass throughout her appearances in the MCU Im going to take a leap and guess that she was enhanced

There's talk of a prequel in the near future isn't there? that could well cover such details I'd imagine. My impression from the films thus far though is that she isn't on the level of Cap or Bucky physically(maybe more cunning that either though), the latter gets the best of her and would have killed her in Winter Solider.

As I'v said before I kind of suspect Marvel might well take a "back to basics" kind of approach after phase 3, films like Guardians 2, Ragnarok, Infinity War plus I'd imagine Cap marvel and the Infinity War sequel are al getting bigger and bigger in terms of scale and at some point I think there going to need to back off from that. The Spidey sequel seems likely to plus a Black Widow film and maybe even the third Guardians film? nothing to say that has to stay massive IMHO, the main selling points are the characters and the comedy.
