Movies AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Thread v.6

[IamStryker]

I'm sure that's the case seeing as many people easily accept these movies and are easily content with them.

As far as TDKR goes, yeah, I genuinely thought it was hot garbage and unequivocally Nolan's worst film. It was as if he phoned it in, big time, and gave no shits about adequately finishing up his trilogy. If anything, it felt like he did it just to do it, not because he genuinely wanted to, and it was awful because of it. Yes, awful. Especially when compared to the previous two.

As I said before, I'm fine with jokes. But there's a time and a place for it all, and the jokes told need to actually be funny and relevant to the story at hand in order to work. Most of the time with Marvel's movies, especially the more recent ones, they fall flat and become downright painful to sit through, especially when they bombard us with them non-stop and they're not even funny to begin with. Ragnarok for me was an excruciating experience. The jokes weren't funny, the quips were lame, the one liners were off, and the entire thing felt forced and unnatural as all hell; and it was just unrelenting. Even worse, it massively undercut the stakes of the movie and totally killed any tension that could have been. It was as if they just threw shit out there for no other reason than to try and "be funny," but it was at the expense of literally everything else. It may be the most popular Thor movie, but it's easily my least favorite of the three.

I think an example of jokes not fitting with the story is The Last Jedi. I believe most people found Ragnarok to be very funny and the vast majority of the jokes worked. Saying there was too many for you or you just aren't into that humor is cool but claiming they fall flat in general is just not true.

Cool theory. I think that is too deep for this movie, but I like where your head's at.

Spoiler

both me and my son said that when Thanos was transported right after the finger snap. Don't think it was Gamora but maybe thats the angle they go with. I know LT was in the comics version of this. Speaking of which no idea why they are going to bring Captain Marvel in an give her the "Adam Warlock" role ....... which makes me wonder what was the point of the Warlock easter eggs and the end credits intro scene to introduce Warlock after GOTG2 ?

Still love the MCU movies and with everything they had to do for this movie it was really good for a part 1 type film.

Is Hela more powerful than Thanos?

Spoiler

Hela inexplicably stops Thor's hammer like it's nothing, and crushes it like tin foil.

Thanos can't stop Thor's hammer even with the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet.

Thor is op now.

Everyone else felt nerfed especially Hulk ( Scarlet Witch is also still OP )

Stormbreaker is more powerful than Mjolnir; it can harness the power of the Bifrost.

Hard to argue with this. Lazy characterisation, huge plot holes and shit-tier fight scenes.

While I did really like the movie what they should of done at end......

Spoiler

Either of ended it at the finger snap or ended it after the scene where Thanos was transported to visit little gamora (who I think might of been the Living Tribunal) . To go on to show many of the stars fade to dust was a little dumb as it felt hollow an fake as we all know there is know way they kill off the Black Panther, GOTG, n Spider Man money making machines. To of just ended it at the cosmic finger snap would of been so much better IMO.. Just felt ending it like they did kinda took away a little from an otherwise GREAT part 1 movie

The Adam Warlock tease was for Guardians 3.

Second Reaction:
Wait... Thanos doesn't know that Spiders are not Insects?


Gave it a 6/10 -- which is what I usually give the better Marvel movies

 

[Andersons Foot]

Spoiler

Has anyone mentioned/did anyone else notice that in the first New York fight scene when Spidey gets off the bus and is fighting, someone asks him amidst all the action “who are you?” and he replied “I’m Spider-Man from the future!”

Thanos must undo the finger snap and some of them will have to go back to that moment for some reason, I think. There must be two Spidermen in New York at that time. Maybe to protect Dr Strange?

Spoiler

I vaguely remember this. What was the context? Was he doing something where a time travel joke would make sense? Maybe a movie reference like the Alien one he used?

Couldn't possibly disagree more, respectfully of course.

Spoiler

I remember being caught off guard by the statement too. But I think he was just making a quip about having upgraded armor. I didn't notice any other hints to suggest there were multiple timelines going on.

Spoiler

I could be wrong here but doesn't Hela say she used to wield Mjolnir so has some kind of bond with it? I'm not sure if Stormbreaker has the 'worthiness' thing going on.

Saw the film last night at a late showing, loved it.

Spoiler

General spoilery thoughts
I'm glad the Black Hand were kinda cannish. While BW was a bit overpowered the heroes needed a time to shine and I didn't need other huge badasses being built up when the film was so Thanoscentric.
Ditto I like the Thanos wasn't just omnipotent. Thor is left as a potential threat to him in IW2 and even the 'snap' is shown as taking a toll on the gauntlet. I could live without the true god like entities of the comics getting involved in the MCU. I think a real strength of the MCU is its willingness to change things from the comics while staying largely true to them.

Cap's return gave me goosebumps

I'm surprised in the turning to ash scene that we didn't get shots of large numbers of people vanishing across the world/universe. It was heart-wrenching watching so many heroes vanish (much better than disappearing in a flash) but it ended up feeling like a tragedy for the Avengers not for the universe.

Possible minority here but I liked the humour.

Stormbreaker is more powerful than Mjolnir; it can harness the power of the Bifrost.

Spoiler

I was thinking it might be more powerful than Mjolnir. But still, to punk the Infinity Gauntlet....

Spoiler

Spoiler

I believe she did wield it. Though Odin put the worthiness enchantment on it way after her initial reign with him, so I'm still trying to figure out how it's possible for her to catch it, let alone break it like it was nothing. She obviously wasn't worthy. I don't believe Thor could have broken it even though he is worthy (granted, he's nerf'd to all hell). And being worthy shouldn't have an affect on it's durability, even with the wielder.

I don't believe there is a worthiness enchantment on Stormbreaker. Groot picked it up fairly easily, and we never saw Thor speak to the hammer, enchanting it.

It surprised the Hela out of me as well. I kept waiting for Thanos to reveal it was all an illusion, as he did after Gamora, "killed" him.

Worth remembering that the Bifrost was not just a method of travelling between the Nine Realms; it's a weapon capable of shattering entire planets. In Thor, Loki plans to destroy Johtunheim with the Bifrost.

 

[irish_thug]

Sorry I fucked up my spoiler tag for like 2 seconds lol. God dammit.

dubbs

 

[irish_thug]

I'm curious what the person who voted this movie a 3/10 has to say. I'm bewildered anyone in their right mind knowing this is both a superhero movie and a marvel movie was that disappointed with the final product. Like seriously, what on earth is that person thinking? A fucking 3. Lol.

He's a troll. He trolls all the sub forums.

 

[irish_thug]

An Irish redneck, it was a playful jab at your display picture (Conor comes from a very poor background).

You rang?

 

[Sigh GunRanger]

This was excelllent. As good as the genre gets

What's your thought on....

How was Vision getting tore up so effortlessly? The dude is made out of vibranium and is one of the heaviest hitters on the entire team and they were tearing him up like it was nothing.
