Spiderman said "from the field trip to the momaaaa"

Museum of Modern Art. Just another pretentious hipster exhibit for crappy millennial artists. Their rich vampire squid parents donate and keep museum open in exchange for giving their spoiled children a participation trophy.

That is what someone told me.

I never watch a movie in the theaters twice. I was hanging out with my cousin today who is a big MCU fan and wanted to see it again. As much as I loved this movie, with the suspense gone, I was bored. I fell asleep for about 45 minutes! I missed most of the battle on Titan and most of the battle in Wakanda. I thought the action would be enough to enjoy it a second time, but unfortunately it wasn’t

Of course I'm downplaying the relationships. Vision's main character trait is his lack of a personality, there's not really much depth or humanistic quality to him. Witch is only slightly more relatable but also a newer character not that charismatic or very developed. Their love is really hard to give a fuck about.

Gamora and Starlord's, yeah that's well developed and interesting. Too bad they made Starlord into an idiot and fucked that story line.

No, it isn't. The last couple movies have specifically been trying to build Vision up as a character and show that he isn't just a robot.
In Civil War, Vision tries cooking a meal from her home country for Wanda to try and cheer her up. They also had some scenes showing him trying to understand human manners. He's obviously not entirely human, but he's not all robot either. His conversation with Ultron, amd how he approached the Sokovia accord show that

In IW Tony tells Banner that Vision has evolved and that he's more than a robot. Vision takes a human form even when he's alone with Wanda.
Their love story isn't as developed as Gamora and Quill's, but it is still obviously there.
I don't see what your point is anyways. So if they didn't love one another, and they were just friends/teammates, she should have had no problem killing him?

Well Mjolnir has been destroyed and likely won't come back since it has been replaced by Stormbreaker which is much more powerful.

The question is : Does the lift/worthy rule also apply to Stormbreaker or was that a unique characteristic of Mjolnir ?

I don't think so , the worthy rule was a spell from Odin. He stripped Thor of his power and made him have to earn his hammer and power back.
When Thor said he was going to get a "Thanos killing weapon", Starlord asked why don't they all get those weapons, and Thor says something like "your frail bodies and minds would be crushed by the weight of it" And the troll blacksmith said the weapon is for a king. So im guessing you have to be super powerful to pick it up

Buttttttt....the handle was just a piece of Groot, i would have thought that that would have weakened the axe. I mean, theoretically, couldn't you just break the handle if you got into duel with Thor?

I just can’t watch most movies multiple times. Usually only comedies because I can laugh at the same jokes over again. I’ll watch a boring ass drama or even a wackass romantic comedy just to find out what happens at the end, but no matter what movie, without the suspense, my attention span is gone. I thought IW could be the movie that break pattern for me.

Just rewatched the movie. Second viewing thoughts:

-Didn’t give Vision any justice. Gets stabbed and is mainly useless the whole movie. Dude is supposed to be super powerful.
-Same for Scarlet Witch. Keeps getting dominated by Black Order
-I don’t think Loki is dead. Also don’t think Ebony Maw is either, he’s just frozen in space waiting for his comeback.
-Great movie

I also didn't appreciate Vision jobbing for the Black Order.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Oh yeah. Also didn’t get to see the soul stone in action. Without reading the comics or going through a breakdown I don’t know what it does besides transport you to the soul world. (Which may not be the case in the movies)

The problem I have with that explanation is how do you narratively resolve that in an effective way. Have Banner and Hulk see a psychiatrist and talk things out?

If Hulk is shook cause Thanos absolutely wrecked him than you can effectively have him overcome that by being in a position where Banner’s rage is more significant than Hulk’s fear- ie Nat being in a position where she is about to be or is killed as some of you noted.

Banner and Hulk obviously communicate on some level. They’ll just come to an understanding.

 

[CoolB]

Spidey is quite strong. He is stronger than a normal human and stop a school bus in its tracks in CACW flashback. I think he even held up a truck or something.

Strange got marked by Ebony Maw but held up for a little against Thanos who had the gauntlet.



Gamora is suppose to be superhumanly strong

Oh I know. They've really powered her down in the movies but I still don't know any MMA fighters that can jump like that

I don’t have much of a problem with Vision getting got early and then being mainly ineffectual. To me, it puts over Corvus’ blade. Once he landed that surprise attack, he rendered Vision much less of a threat for the long haul.

And SW getting dominated by the Black Order seems an overstatement. More than once, she saves Vision after he gets surprised attacked. At times, Wanda has to essentially deal with Glaive and Proxima two on one and she holds her own. Even when Cap needs to make the save, Wanda was trying to get Vision out of harm’s way but got knocked out of the sky. She still was ready to fight the two of them and protect Vision. It’s not as though Cap, Nat, and Sam save her when they are about to strike a death blow to her and Vision.

Also, on the battlefield in Wakanda saves Black Widow and Okoye and takes out a bunch of outriders by elevating that alien vehicle and dropping it onto a big group of them.

Sure she needs help taking on Proxima but the Black order was consistently shown to be really dangerous.

Actually it’s a nice touch that Wanda and Vision get to be the ones to take out Proxima and Glaive- each getting help from other heroes to do so.

Its easy, you have to throw banner to the wolves

or for the movies sake hes crushed by whats happened and starts to feel guilty about not being the hulk

I caught that.

You can pretty much throw out the idea that Hulk didn't come out because of fear. The few occasions Hulk briefly spoke, Thanos was nowhere near the battlefield Banner was in. Furthermore, in Ragnarok, Hulk has already stated his displeasure at the avengers for only calling for Hulk when something needed smashing, and they are Banner's friends, not Hulk's.

Museum of Modern Art. Just another pretentious hipster exhibit for crappy millennial artists. Their rich vampire squid parents donate and keep museum open in exchange for giving their spoiled children a participation trophy.

That is what someone told me.

Also the venue of the highest concentration of hot chicks I've ever seen. More so than any night clubs, concert, shopping malls, etc...

Yeah good call. I get it. I just don’t get how they resolve it. Does Banner have to convince Hulk he will let him drive for more times than when the shit does down? Do The Avengers have to convince Hulk they prefer him to Banner like Thor (very comically) tried to do in Ragnarok.

Or does Hulk just accept that Banner needs his help and comes through in the clutch next movie.

 

[KnightTemplar]

In Thor Ragnarok we find out Hulk has been in control of the body for a long time. Does anyone remember how long??

When Banner finally emerges he talks about how scary it was to be suppressed and gone that long and he feared he would never come back and he fears the next time Hulk emerges he might not come back.

Banner has, at many times, suppressed the Hulk for years. I am pretty sure in the first Avengers movie when Natasha found him they said they had not seen the Hulk for two years.

So I think they are going with the angle that Hulk is pissed about being suppressed and only being summoned to save Banner's ass and therefore he is throwing a tantrum of sorts.

Two years.
