And still seven minutes shorter than Bladerunner 2049. What were those art school dudes thinking?

That will the longest I've sustained an erection since I was a teenager

 

[KnightTemplar]

Not just the longest MCU movie but Bucky also has the longest magazine ever. Look at that thing!

No Homo?

Is Ebony Maw considered a telepath? I'm not so sure he's technically one.

He uses deception and manipulation to control minds but he does so with words.

I don't know how you classify his powers. He's so powerful that he controlled Dr. strange to summon Shuma Gorath

The Russo's stated that they've changed some of the Black Order member's powers, so Maw might have some other power set rather than manipulation etc.

Shit, shit, shit. You ain't missing much.

Get out.

 

[FyrFytr998]

I haven't seen Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther or Dr Strange yet.

Do I need to watch them before this?

I believe FX is gonna run a marathon of every Marvel MCU film up to the Black Panther prior to the Infinity War premiere. So keep an eye out if you want to catch them.

They aren’t necessary viewing, but definitely help the total overall picture.

Too bad The Defenders, FF and The X-Men aren't in this.

I'm still excited to see this though.

Not sure about the Defenders but i expect the Fantastic Four and the X-Men to be on the frontlines vs Galactus.. In phase 1-3 we had 3 groups :

Phase 1 to 3 : The Avengers , Guardians of the galaxy and S.H.I.E.L.D Big villain : Thanos

Phase 4 to ??? : Fantastic Four , X-Men and New Avengers Big villain : Galactus

Also can't wait to see what they're going to do with Dr Doom. He's my favorite Marvel villain after Thanos

Fantastic Four if done right would be amazing. I imagine Kevin Feige is chomping at the bit to get his hands on it.

 

[UFC=Pride]

Phase 4 should include Dr Doom, Galactus and Red Skull as villans

 

[Deleted member 484047]

It's going to make enough money that the poor bastards in charge of the DC universe will be swinging in the rafters once they see the numbers.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Seriously though, does not sound menacing at all and really just looks like a down's syndrome kid on roids.

fuck me, that's sounds terrifying. imagine, retard strength combined with roid rage.

I heard Dr. Doom is going to be an evil blogger.

He’s tom from MySpace

 

[evansusmc2]

I do wonder how they're going to do this going forward now that Marvel has most of their characters back.
Part of me loves these long, plans that lead to a big bad...but the other side of me feels it will be much more difficult to do this going forward--and will probably take away from the individual movies .

The Avengers, the Xmen, and the Fantastic 4 are pretty much THE Marvel teams. And although they have all teamed up together in the past, they also have their own separate villains , struggles, and agendas. If you put the Xmen in to help against Galactus then why don't the Avengers or the F4 help with the Dark Phoenix, or Apocalypse ?
I don't see how it will be feasible to keep doing mashups like these...particularly with the Xmen. They have a lot of their own shit going on, and usually deal with other mutants

Cosmosis from the comic “Superb” is exactly that. The first superhuman with Downs. That’s him holding the concrete block.

I don't know if this has been posted, but...from Joe Russo...

"Interestingly enough, I'll start out by saying Thanos, even though he's not a character that had a huge preexisting story in the Marvel universe. He was a threat, but he was not developed in any way up to this point. Thanos has an incredible amount of screen time in this film, in a lot of ways I would say it's his movie. Our job when we make these films - and what we feel is important to us - is to surprise the audience. We wanted to tell a story that they weren't expecting, and the story is told from the point of view of a villain, which I think is also really unique and risky for a commercial film that will surprise the audience. I think this is a market where the audience really enjoys innovation and disruption, and we want to do something innovative in this space. So I think Thanos has an incredible amount of screen time, and I think you'll find that Thor has a really interesting arc in the film. He hasn't been at the forefront of other Avengers movies, but he certainly has a very important role in this film. So I'll say, Thanos and Thor."

Thor and Thanos have the most screen time. I knew that this was going to be Thanos' movie, so im not surprised about him, but I didn't think Thor would be that big a player here.
Interestinggg

 

[SmilinDesperado]

I'm disappointed in the depiction of Thanos overall tbh. The eyes for one thing yeah, but mainly the voice.. they done made him sound like a regular Bro ....... lin. (See what I did there )

Seriously though, does not sound menacing at all and really just looks like a down's syndrome kid on roids.



Other than that looks aight. Starmunch and Tony scene was lol worthy

I'm actually glad they made him like this.
Thanos is supposed to get a lot of screen time here. It's his movie.
A deep, monsterish voice, and red or white eyes wouldn't work for a movie that has him at the forefront. It would look too cartoonish and distracting, imo. We don't need the character forgotten because we ended up focusing more on his voice ( a la Nolan Batman and Bane)

I think they're focusing on his smarts here. With Brolin's voice and the shit that Thanos does and says..it can most definitely be menacing and scary
