I hated that tbh. Hulk gets beat to crap by Thanos with only one stone present in the first 5 minutes, and yet Capt America is able to hold Thanos back and take a Thanos punch and he's got 5 out of the 6 stones?! GTFOH

Thanos had the power stone in the beginning. That's the only stone that would matter in terms of a physical match. Having the time stone wouldn't allow Dr. Strange to take on the Hulk in hand to hand combat.
Thanos was obviously just playing with the Avengers, so I don't even really look at that scene as him "holding Thanos back". I mean they showed how effortlessly Thanos beat up the Hulk at the beginning of the movie.
In order to use the power of the stones, Thanos had to clench his gauntlet fist--and he punched Cap with his opposite hand.

That being said, I also had the same criticism--gauntlet, or no gauntlet, Cap should not be able to take a punch from Thanos, and then get up 2 minutes later.

They should have kept Killmonger alive to help out. They haven't really kept any of their villains alive, you would think some would want to help fight Thanos.

Since Ed Nortons Hulk is part of this universe, I would have liked to have seen the Abomination set loose. He and Hulk up agains't Thanos would have been awesome!

That's why they couldn't put her in this movie; she'd have won the Infinity War in 10 minutes. Batman with Prep Time thinks she's too overpowered:)

One thing I want to ask you guys

We know the guys who got purged aren't staying dead, but what about Gamora? That shit really unsettled me because she's the only one of the individual heroes I can legitimately look at and be like, definitively, they've killed her off. From the fact that she died before the infinity stone purge rather than part of it makes me worried about her big. Really like the character and Zoe's involvement in the MCU.

Hell, even Loki, though I assume he's full on done for, they left their twinge of ambiguity in there. Thor saying to Rocket that his brother "had died before but I think this time he might have died for certain," is not very emphatic lol. Still leaves room for doubt.

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.

Another thing I haven't mentioned but highly impressed was the CGI was amazing for thanos.

Especailly when he was sedated on titan and when pierced by stormbreaker. Was that animatronic or CGI when we got to see him up close?

The detailing of his sweat, rough face (as of he just shaved), the grooves in his scars, skin texture ect.

Props to whoever put into this work

I understand she's a badass both in the movies and the comics. My issue with her isn't that she's a badass, it merely comes from the fact that, of all the Avengers, she's the one that's almost literally untouchable. And by that I mean, for example, we've got a scene where freaking Scarlet Witch (super, super, super, super powerful mutant) is getting her ass handed to her, and then Black Widow (a regular human with no powers) comes in and saves the day like it ain't no thang. That's just retarded. I know Falcon and Cap were there to help, but all three of them being able to overcome something that freaking Vision and Witch can't is seriously lame. To put it another way..... an Omega Level Mutant is getting embarrassed and losing while three regular humans (one of them a Super Solider, but in the grand scheme of things, it's meaningless) comes in and saves the day. Bullshit! The math doesn't add up.

I agree that Black Widow is overpowered. Moreso in this movie than in others, imo. In past movies, she was using a lot more tech to take out stronger enemies. She should be using a lot more weaponry and guns, and they keep making her have all of these close range fights.

But about Scarlet Witch, she doesn't seem to have a full mastery over her powers. And in the movies, she has only really used her powers in a telekinetic way for the most part. It's still not really clear what exactly her powers are in the movies. (not to me at least..i mean what are "chaos witch powers"?)
And Scarlett is not a combat fighter--she is a n00b compared to the other Avengers. Her goal was to protect an injured Vision, she wasn't really in a 1on1 combat scenario. Her powers also seem to take a little time to get "warmed up", so there are chances to take her out , despite her massive power. Captain America could most definitely sneak up on her, or bounce his shield off in a certain way to KO her, despite the massive power difference.
Vision was taken out of the fight almost immediately with Corvus' weapon. With a body made of Vibranium, and his ability to phase, he had no reason to feel like he would have been in danger, until it was too late.

Cap, Falcon, and BW are combat experts--and that is where they were able to match Proxima and Corvus (?) They also had to use Corvus' own weapon to take him out. I had no problem with the 3 of them being able to best those guys.
 
Oh and watching it the second time, after he snapped his fingers, the gauntlet looked fried but the stones were still good.

I think he'll still be able to use them individually but not all together (snapping his fingers) unless he wants his arm melted off.

Not bad but i think base thanos outskills and outathletes both of them together.

Its best to have a diverse of attributes going at him w/ strategy.
But even that may not be enough lol
 
On a side note, I think it was a mistake adding the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Punisher, Ironfist etc..)in to the MCU. I have a feeling maybe the people involved with production feel that way too, because we still haven't seen or heard anything to indicate they'll be joining the movies, apart from a few references here and there.

The shows are too gritty and grounded to have storylines involving aliens and half the population disintegrating in to ashes, Yet again they have storylines involving mystical ninjas, so who knows... it'll be weird seeing Punisher or Daredevil square off against intergalactic creatures.
 
Anyone else find the fact that Scarlet Witch could destroy the mind stone a bit of a stretch? I know they said the stone and her powers were of a similar energy (and I think jer powers were actually created by the stone in the MCU) but I didn't think any hero would be able to just outright destroy one of the most powerful objects in the universe.

I wonder whats feiges plan gonna be for the second movie.

We all predicted and assume who were gonna die and they threw a suprise factor at us.

Now that we are going through that process again of making our assumtions. Im curious to see what they (kevin and russos) will do the second time around

The ending was a bit annoying, of it, what's the point, honestly? They're all going to be back. 3 of the charachters who turned to ash have confirmed sequels ffs. How is the final Spidey/Tony moment supposed to resonant when you know he'll be back?

Then again, it's a classic comic book move, so I can't be too upset about it.

Also, the CGI for Proxima was trash.

Other then that, I really liked this flick. Something cool about watching everything come together after all these years. Brolic Brolin was incredible. The humor was pitch perfect. I loved the way they brought the Guardians into it, and it felt seamless. The dialogue, the music, the interactions.

Thor's entrance had the theater losing their shit, dorks were clapping and everything. It was pretty awesome.

I've seen this complaint a few times, and I think it would be a mistake to mix the movie reality, with the "real world" reality. These comics are 30, 40, 50+ years old. There are countless stories. They are obviously not going to kill off Spiderman and never make another Spiderman movie again.

What resonated with the Tony/Spidey scene was that Tony was trying to protect this kid, and that the kid was so young, and he wanted to be a hero, but he didn't want to die. The audience may know what will happen, but the characters don't. If the movie and actors do a good job, then you should only care about what is happening in the movie---not how many future movies an actor is contracted for, or what sequels are or aren't in production.

I kept going back and forth on Proxima. There were times where I thought it was really good--life like..where i thought it was an actual person. And there were other times where it was pretty bad--it wasn'tt very good in some of the scenes in Wakanda.

Lol, I walked out of the cinema on a high. Took a little while to sink in I have to wait a full fucking year to find out how this ends:eek:
 
I would like to see them throw us a curve ball. When it's all said and done, maybe they can lock Thanos away, just don't kill him. Then eventually, have him turn anti-hero and help the heroes in future movies. Now THAT would be epic.

Good explaination.

Im sure Kevin and Russos are well aware of ppl jumping to this. And because of that, i just a have a feeling they got something up their sleeve to combat this so ppl can care about what is going on and not how many movies in the future ect ect. while watching avengers 4

I mean, when we felt gamoras death, peter fading away in front of tony, those scenes were so impactful that we care about what was going on at the moment instead of thinking "ya naw, no way they got future movies" lol
