Marvel has been doing this a lot lately. A couple of times with Hulk . In Ragnarok Trailer there is a scene where Thor , Valkeyrie, Loki and Hulj stand together on the Rainbow Bridge , that never happened in the movie.
Yeah, and Spiderman and Iron man together in New York.

Any way to ad an equation to these polls that shows the average rating by users? Last night after I voted it was at 87.9% but looking at the votes this morning it has gone up. Would be an interesting stat to have in the polls imo.
 
I'm still lost why no Hawkeye and Antman. they said something about Clint I couldn't make it out.
 
WHen thanos snaps his fingers and sees lil gamora, that has to be her in the soul stone.
 
It's April

Thats as not as Crazy as Black Panther's number in February or Guardians being successful in August of 2014 but Marvel is crushing expectations as to when their movies can open well.

I don't know if it has Force Awakens legs though . People complain about it now but at the time general audiences were loving that FA was New Hope 2.0 . It helped it have a Prolonged run.

Force Awakens I'd say had more of an "everyone must see this" draw similar to say Avatar or Titanic. Marvel does naturally aim rather more narrowly I'd say as the film is after all following several others that need to be seen for it to really make sense, there popular films of course but still a lot of people haven't seen them.

If its going to get close to Force Awakens I think it needs to beat it in terms of hardcore fans seeing it multiple times.
 
nebula does not vanish and is now with iron man. someone asked that earlier

force awaken had the hype of it being the first star wars film with disney and also being the continuation film everyone wanted.

after last jedi its going to fall short of these amazing numbers and rightfully so

Yep I wouldnt disagree, I think the Starwars sequels took a very short termish view and made a big mistake hiring Abrams who really poisoned the well long term, a lot of the flaws of Last Jedi were built into his style but people looked past them in the one off hype.

I suspect actually that long term it might be the athnology films like Rogue One and Solo that really carry on making money for Starwars as the continued saga declines and moves further away from the originals.
 
Wonder if Ayesha and/or Adam Warlock will come up at all in the next movie?

Don't think so in avengers 4, we can assume that most of GotG get revived and as speculated vol 3 could be about freeing Gamora from the soul stone. Maybe to do that they need the perfect being, which is Adam.
 
I mean..this was all in the movie. There's a lot going on in the movie, but if you're paying attention, these things were explained. It seems like you came into the movie just expecting a "comic book movie" and didn't think you really needed to pay attention. I mean, you're saying it just felt like there was action after action scene, and that there was no real story, but most of the movie was about Thanos, and his quest to collect the stones and bring about his vision for the universe. These weren't just random battles happening in the movie-- each battle had a clear objective--collecting one of the stones.

Yeah, that's still a thin-as-fuck plot though. It's basically, "Oh, Thanos is about to get the next stone? Let's go fight him again." That's the movie.

I dunno, man. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, I'm just saying that I found it a little dull. The film just didn't really engage me.

It had nice effects though, I'll at least give it that.

As for the stones, what they could do is pretty much in most of their names.
*Power = power--this explains how effortlessly Thanos completely beats the shit out of Hulk in the beginning.
*Time stone..obvious.
*Soul Stone - They take you to some kind of "soul world" in the movie, and in order to get the stone you have to sacrifice something that you love--a life. That seemed pretty obvious that the Soul stone has something to do with life and death. I don't know the exact powers of the stone, but you get a good enough idea.
*The Reality Stone - Allows the user to create their own reality--the movie shows you this multiple times when Thanos alters the Guardians, and shows Stark what Titan USED to look like.
*The Mind stone--it's the thing that gave Vision intellgence and life--
*The Space Stone allows the user to be whereever they want to be--and Thanos uses the stone the second he gets it from Loki. It was all in the movie, and they SHOW you what the stones do.
lol Dr. Strange and Wong even go through a brief explanation to Stark.
Sounds like you just weren't paying attention. (i've only seen the movie once so far)

Thanks for the explanation.

No, all of that wasn't clear to me, and I don't think it's because I wasn't paying attention.

I think part of the issue here is that people want to put "comic book movies" in this 'lower tier' of movies, and they don't really show them the hespect they deserve because of it. These movies being based on comics doesn't mean that they can't have depth.

I dunno, I think The Dark Knight put an end to that kind of thinking for most people. There was Best Picture talk surrounding that film.

Even within the Marvel universe though, I think there have been some very good films, like Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. I just don't think that this films can stand with those.

Like I said earlier, it's a mid-tier Marvel movie. Better than some, but certainly not as good as others.
 
Probably brought up already, but can we talk about how beautiful the last few minutes are shot? And how Alan Silvestri absolutely KILLED IT with his score in that moment?

The shock of what happened...the wind blowing leaves around...the almost funeral style score...and that final shot with Thanos resting, watching the sun and smiling as if to say, "it's done" was so freaking fantastic!!!

That last scene was something to truly marinate on the second time around. It didn't end off a cliffhanger, it ended on a job being done.

Also, I'm never believing trailers again. No Hulk in Wakanda, the Cap holding a Thanos punch they purposely had stones missing from the gauntlet to make us believe that maybe he was only gonna get half of them in this movie...well played Russos...well played.

No way Gamora stays dead. She's too big a part of the next Guardians movie. In fact, the only major casualty I'd bet on staying down for the count is Loki. Possibly Vision as well. The rest will be brought back.

One of my few real disappointments with this movie. Plenty of potential Red Shirts - Falcon, War Machine, Widow etc - who should have been killed off for real.

Her death is going to be the catalyst for Hulk getting back his balls in the next movie imo
