Movies AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Thread v.10

[MayhemMonkey]

i've addressed you wanting Geralt to call himself a hero, and I addressed canon media supporting that he is heroic. You have not made a case that Geralt is not a hero in the face of evidence that he is. You have tried to manipulate evidence. You have not played the games so have very little understanding. You cannot even understand evidence that you read on a wiki or watched on youtube. That is very sad.

Ive never said I want him to call himself a hero..... Ive said he isnt a hero. He has done heroic things and he has also done horrible things.... he's morally grey. He kills monsters for money. All learned from playing the games. Something you clearly didnt pay attention to

Im done derailing this thread anyway, you are clearly just being difficult. you dont understand the character at all

"this world doesnt need a hero..... it needs a professional"

I've only watched the movie once and it was space Dances with Wolves but the Americans in Dances with Wolves become the good guys eventually. I think.

All the characters in that movie are American bro

The most horrible thing he's known for doing, being the Butcher of Blaviken, is just a misnomer. He was saving innocent lives. He also doesn't kill all monsters. In Witcher 3 you can spare monsters that he feels possess good traits. You don't understand the character, the media upon which you can influence the character, or even what a hero is.

Everybody is a good guy then. Win win.

Captain America and Captain Alternate Poland are both heroes because they want to be good.

I was reading the past page or so trying to catch up- had to double check I was in the Infinity War thread.

Again I think Avatar actually provides a good example of the reverse, I think its actually a film that strives for more complexity than Infinity War yet has less depth. The Marvel film ultimately is about a super villain with a destructive plan fighting heroes trying to stop him, Avatar on the other hand looks to bring in a much more grounded and complex world touching in environmentalism, colonialism, etc yet it wears these things like empty badges on its chest giving them no depth beyond the Navi being good and the humans bad.

Infinity War on the other hand takes its more simple setup yet gives its villain a motivation that challenges the heroes and leaves the viewer to consider both of them.

Really? I thought Avatar was a story that’s been done a million times and I did not understand how anyone could like it. There are so many movies that have similar story lines that I can’t even enjoy it. I never saw Avatar as complex. I saw it as a carbon copy of Disney movies and other movies I’ve seen in the past with the 3D being the only seller.

People love pochahontas, dances with wolves and fern gully but you don't understand how they could like Avatar? Really?

If I could rephrase your post from a different view I would say:
Avatar is a re-telling of a classic story, told in an original and imaginative sci-fi setting and the most immersive 3D alien world ever seen on screen, with great action scenes and the most realistic CGI seen (even now 9 years later)

I like this distinction and it trends really well with why I couldn't manage to give a single shit about the former while I really enjoyed the latter.

Agreed about Pixar too. The beauty of that kind of media is really more about the top-notch execution of familiar arcs and not so much about mixing them up or subverting them. Toy Story 3 is a recent watch of mine that fits that description pretty well.

I enjoyed it on the big screen but never felt compelled to check it out again.

Ferngully. Oh man that's a blast from the past. Robin Williams. RIP.

Yea it was super boring to me I didn’t need the story retold anymore. It’s been told way way to many times and I’ve seen almost all the iterations before avatar came along. Realistic CGI is great but I need a good story with that’s the main component of any good movie.

Pixar has that stuff down to a science.

The movie Coco got to me more than any film has in a long time. Right in the f'n feels.

I watched it at home without 3D was close to finishing but just gave up and went to bed.

lol. I respect that. Avatar strikes me as kind of like Titanic as far as the Cameron canon goes. I think it's a good movie. Not a great one. I appreciate the spectacle and understand that it was an event film where you really had to be there around the time to appreciate it how big it was. But I think it loses a lot on a smaller screen and is not something I feel like committing three hours of time too.

It's funny for all the awards love and box office success that Cameron's last two efforts got, I still don't think he's equaled the awesomeness of Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2.

@Dragonlordxxxxx

Please snap your fingers.

Guys, let's try to stick to the Infinity War topic or at least something related to it.

@The Witcher Reply ban reason: Criticisms and such are fine but insulting/trolling posters that results in a negative thread derailment is not okay.

I’d say Avatar while being a relatively simple story contained a decent amount of depth. Issues like family, belonging, colonialism, technologies, greed, religion. Not saying it’s a great movie, but it’s the first that popped in my head as depth without complexity.

It ripped those themes directly from Fern Gully
