Movies AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Thread v.10

[SoberAwakening]

Do you guys think Thanos will get as much screen time in A4?

Or will it be a different direction and tone this time around?

What do you guys expect?

I hope they just cut to Thanos doing boring stuff. Looking at the paper with his reading glasses on, knitting an Infinity Gauntlet out of yarn, rocking in his rocking chair, paying bills. And everyone is just running around freaking out and trying to figure out how to get all of the superheroes back.

I hope not. We need more Cap.

This was about him completing his quest, next will be about their quest to undo it

They'll probably concentrate on the original avengers.

I'm more hyped for the next one than I was for this one.

I’m sure that was the point. I had a few casuals in my viewing that when the last scene of Thanos sitting watching the sunset went to black they got pretty pissed. “what the hell was that!?” I heard them say.

Best believe they’ll be back opening weekend to watch A4.

Poor people didn't know Thanos was the real hero. We got to commend Marvel, they did 18 movies showcasing the villains and 1 movie having the hero beat them all.

If there's some message the filmmakers are trying to push it would seem to be that things can become desperate but don't do the "bad" choice when things become desperate. It won't work out. And the heroes take the everyone is important stance, which, since they're the heroes they have the "good" label and Thanos takes the some people are expendable stance, and since he was promoted as the villain that gets the "bad" label and the choices that align with that stance are the "bad" ones. And Thanos himself is desperate. He's more long term desperate but it relates to the immediate desperation of the heroes.

I think the root of Steve's conflict of theory and action is his view of himself. It's also what supports his optimistic viewpoint. He was the little guy, that during the time of war still wasn't found to be useful, but then things turned around and now he's a super hero helping people. So every little guy deserves a chance. But deep down he's still the little guy and any positive impact he had is a bonus. And if he were to sacrifice himself that's still an overall net gain.

I agree that the Russo's definitely take their movies in a different direction and I find it refreshing.

One Rogers side I think its also played that its not just him being unwilling to kill someone he cares about but him being unwilling to ask someone else to do so. Whilst the sacrifice is ultimately ineffective and might always have been with the time stone I think he's still left with the sense of whether he should have done it earlier, at least that's the feeling I get watching it.

That doesn't mean the films are ultimately going to pass this judgement of course but I think there asking the question on his viewpoint, asking for example whether it isn't actually selfish being unwilling to get his hands dirty, potential overconfidet and perhaps also linked to rather outdated ideas of militarism and whats acceptable. On the other side of course I suspect there will be the idea that his moral red line does have merit and that moving beyond it is damaging, again perhaps showing that Thanos's paradise has been corrupted by the sense of loss and the example of his ruthlessness.

We need to see Thanos in the gym. He didn't get guns like those without pumping serious iron

Isn't Scarlet Johannsen's character just some regular chick? Like no superpowers or anything? How was she kicking the female alien's ass in the first fight they had? I thought those two Thanos underlings were supposed to be super bad asses, no?

The weird psychic priest alien dude was criminally underused, thought he was the most interesting character in the film after Thanos. The way they threw a car at him and he just slices it in half without moving was badass. Thanos was brilliantly done for the fact this was a comic book movie, first Marvel villain that I actually gave a shit about.

Also best joke in the film was the one about Kevin Bacon joining the Avengers. I'm not really big into comic book movies but I thought this one was really well done, definitely worth the hype.

Correct. She is a regular 120lb human chick that has been training for 20 years. Proxima Midnight is one of the most highly trained H2H combatants in the universe, who is super powered in several ways, including strength speed senses and siginificant durability. She can survive planetary reentry without a scratch. She has been fighting, killing and conquering entire planets for unknown centuries. Black widow couldn’t put a scratch on her, even if she was completely defenseless in a coma. That shit was embarrassing, but they toned down the black order ALOT to make Thanos more badass. Which worked out well because he was amazing.

 

[Strange King]

The way they present him he was a guy from his race of people. He needs a spaceship to go places. He has an army of underlings. He's strong, like a level up from asgardians, but he considers his great quality to be determination and commitment to his cause.

If you're talking about Vision, Vision is a machine that harnesses the stone that's in his head. The scepter was a device that harnessed the mind stone and let people access its power. Ronan's hammer and the giant celestial's staff were devices that could harness a stone.

We're talking about 2 different things. In the comics you dont need anything to harness a gem.

Im saying that i think it was stupid they did that in the film. Theres no reason for it, again it doesnt ruin it for my but thought it was absolutely pointless

I think it will be more focused on the avengers. Theres really no reason to even show thanos until they attack him. Dude is chilling

 

[Strange King]

I hope not. We need more Cap.

I think we will get a cap and iron man bonding moment. Hopefully he will give him back his shield

There's no way this isn't happening. NO WAY.

I wasnt a big fan of the new mini shields compared to him throwing his and hitting like 5 people. I feel like if he had his shield he could of taken on that swarm by himself lol. Really though he felt like he was limited with those things

seeing him makes me think how badass the mcu could do Jean Grey

I don't think Steve wants anybody to die. And as the ultimate optimist and idealist, and this may sound crazy, I think he always has a hope that no one will die, even with past experience that people die in conflicts. He asked T'Challa to not just remove the stone from Vision's head but also to help protect him while doing so. I think he made that request thinking they could still win with 0 casualties.

It would be interesting if they did a time jump in the next film and showed that earth was thriving after what Thanos did. Then Steve can reflect on his idealism and moral view.

I've been talking about the movies since you first replied to my post. They grounded Thanos because the overall MCU is more grounded than the comics. It makes him relateable and provides for tension because he's not all powerful.

I will mark the fuck out.
