see I was thinking that was where he went after snapping his fingers.... you know where he seen Gamorra as a kid. Made me think that maybe because he sacrificed Gamorra for the stone, that somehow her soul is inside the stone(just my personal theory though).

Yeah this seems highlight likely to me and I suspect that's likely to tie into the climax of the second film rather than being an afterthought way to get her back. I don't really care for killing characters forever for the sake of it, if a character feels like they should be dying to complete there story and carries on that's a negative but just killing people off for the sake of it is IMHO cheap writing, if your doing your job right then tension and drama can still certainly exist.

Honestly though I tend to think that in terms of writing challenges the details of how Thanos work is undone are probably much less of a challenge that this film was. Wheadon gets credit for bringing the original Avengers together but really that was still a group of protagonists small enough to fit into a single plot thread relatively easily. This film was vastly more challenging than that with what 20+ protagonists who are all pretty well developed as characters? theres really no way that number could ever be contained in a single plot thread without ignoring most of them which this film to its credit never really did.

It has me looking forward to the sequel even more knowing the Russo's basically got to pick exactly the characters they wanted to work with for that, I would say as well that film actually seems a better bet for characters being "dead dead" seeing as its going to have a lot more time to focus on them individually..

really? I thought Batman begins was pish.... and the only thing that made the Dark Knight watchable was the Joker. People act like that trilogy was something special when in reality it was one decent movie out of 3.

Also Thor Ragnorok wasnt "whedon-esque" in anyway..... neither was Dr Strange. T:R was the most succesful Thor movie yet... so the fans disagree with you

I loved Nolan's first two Batman films but his third one (TDKR) was absolute garbage on nearly every single level possible. Holy fuck was it terrible.

If you look at the way the jokes and one-liners were presented in Dr Strange, for example, it's most definitely like they were trying to emulate the perceived wittiness of Whedon throughout. And it didn't work. Don't forget the power he held over the franchise during Phase 2. There's no question it seeped into Phase 3. Whedon's own wittiness and humor began and ended with Avengers 1, in terms of actually working. The rest of it, and most of the humor Marvel has tried to inject into their films since, has been absolute pish. To say the least.

Ragnarok was successful, but so were the Transformers movies. That's not saying much for what fans will and won't watch and what does or doesn't work. People eat shit up all the time. As far as Ragnarok goes, I thought it was trash from beginning to end. If I could wipe it from my memory, I would do it instantly.

The closest I’ve come to working in retail was when I sold my dead aunt’s imperial clock collection. We don’t do hipster and we do not identify with other similar pedestrianisms.

This. Whedon is absolute trash. His first Avengers movie worked but everything after that is just hot garbage. For someone who tries so hard to be funny, his writing is just painful and some of the least funny Marvel movies out there. The faster his influence on the comic genre dies out the better.

The Russo brothers are 2 for 3 so far. They need to drop the Whedonisms and just follow in the Russo brother’s footsteps. They’re much better filmmakers.
 
Anyone else rooting for this to be the number 1 domestic opening of all time? Don't really want Force Awakens in the top spot anymore. Isn't good enough to deserve that spot.

I second this motion.

The force awakens is the worst film I had the privilege of watching at a public cinema.

I would accept that. This was better than that. TFA was abysmal crap. If I never see it again, it will be too soon.
