Movies AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR v.8

Theory time:

How do you guys think Nebula and Tony get off of Titan? My only guess is Thor uses the bi-frost or some how Nebula's ship she used to crash into Dad is still functioning.

either Nebula will help him or he'll get Friday to send a signal back home. his suit was still functioning so Id imagine thats the safest bet, then Thor will probably come pick him up with Stormbreaker like you mentioned

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Guardians ship is still intact (I think). If not, they can just tinker around the many spaceship parts lying around and fix or cobble one up.

oh yeah, Nebula will be able to pilot that. Id forgot about their ship

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Pfft...seeing Thanos took his breath away.

na I just meant that I didnt see the resemblance between Thanos and that Rick guy

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

You're all wrong STOAAN Lee will get them back home via galactic bus ride.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

na I just meant that I didnt see the resemblance between Thanos and that Rick guy

Hahaha I gotcha. Loki did and it took his breath away. Not a surprise that Thanos gave him such a lowball offer.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Shatters Box Office Record with $258.2 Million U.S. Weekend and $640.9 Million Worldwide Bow

Disney and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War kicked off the summer box office in high style over the weekend, opening to a record-setting $258.2 million in North America and $382.7 million overseas for a global total of $640.9 million, the top worldwide debut of all time, according to final numbers. The superhero mashup accomplished the feat without China, where it doesn't unfurl until May 11.

Final numbers released Monday were up from Sunday's estimates, which showed Infinity War debuting to $250 million domestically and $630 million internationally.

Fellow Disney title Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($248 million) was the previous record-holder for biggest domestic bow, while Universal's The Fate of the Furious had held the record for biggest global start ($541.9 million).

Infinity War's box-office victory was aided by the biggest Saturday of all time in North America ($83 million), as well as the biggest Sunday ($69 million), reflecting powerful word of mouth. The tentpole cost close to $300 million to produce before a major marketing spend.

Directed by the Russo brothers, Avengers: Infinity War is the most ambitious amassing of superheroes ever on the big screen and comes as Marvel Studios — led by Kevin Feige — celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2009, Walt Disney Co. chief Bob Iger paid $4 billion to acquire Marvel Entertainment, even though many of the superhero characters in Marvel's stable were unproven.

"Marvel spent 10 years methodically and carefully creating a universe of characters, worlds and stories that all led to this and, in doing so, created an event unlike anything the business has ever seen," said Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis as he prepares to exit the top post and turn his job over to studio veteran Cathleen Taff.

"We have been sitting here all weekend in astonishment," added Taff.

Infinity War is the first film to be shot entirely with Imax cameras. Imax theaters in turn delivered $41 million of the total worldwide gross, the biggest showing ever for a Marvel title. The U.S. share was $22.5 million.

Marvel Studios is unrivaled in its success, now boasting six of the top 10 opening weekends of all time. The Avengers ($207.4 million) previously held the mark for the biggest superhero launch, followed by Black Panther($202 million). They are the only other superhero titles to have crossed $200 million in their first weekend.

Infinity War also continues Disney's domination at the box office. The studio has bragging rights to nine of the 10 biggest domestic openings, including the top three; Infinity War, Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi($220 million). Universal's Jurassic World ($208.8 million) is No. 4.

As in North America, Infinity War set a slew of industry records overseas, including staking out the second-best international opening all time. Fate of the Furious still reigns as the top international opening with $443.2 million, thanks to a hefty $185 million day-and-day debut in China. Without China, Fate of the Furious' international start would have been roughly $258 million.

So correct me if i'm wrong but it seem that the soul stone is the only one Thanos did not use in individually the movie. Or perhaps he did ?

- Power : Used many time during the movie , especially during battles
- Space : Used numerous times , both in battle and to teleport himself
- Reality : Used 2 or 3 times i tihnk. Twice at the collector's place and once on Titan when he was talking to strange
- Time : Once to reverse the Mind stone destruction
- Soul : ???
- Mind : I think that lvision of young Gamora he has right after getting stabbed by Thor was the mind stone. Loki used to do that with the scepter in Avengers 1 , well sort of

Or maybe i got that backward and that was the soul stone doing and not the mind stone ? Or simply Thanos hallucinating ?

 

[CrazyN8]

or Shuri(if she survived of course)

I wouldnt be suprised is Shuri is gonna be Lionheart at this point, they've already made a point of her being on par if not smarter than Banner and Stark.

RJ and Kathleen Kennedy (who bears ultimate respinsibility for much of what makes TLJ problpmatic) do not understand story structure that well. Subverting expectations isn't a goal, it is an occasional side effect of good storytelling.

As an example, a romantic subplot between Thanos and hulk would have 'subverted expectations', but it still would have been really dumb. That is what the Russo bros seem to get, and RJ and KK don't.

I thought the romantic side plot between Hulk and Widow in Age of Ultron was as unnecessary as the one in TLJ.

I had thought about this, never thought of that obvious answer lol. Tony and Nebula ride the Milano back to earth asap.

Wouldn't be that big of a loss for GOTG if you ask me. She was never funny and her and Drax seemed to have the same abilities other than her being superior to Drax.

I like to possibility of keeping her dead for the sake of consequences, it opens up to possibility of introducing Angela to the Guardians or maybe Attaching Captain Marvel to the Crew if her Movie is us subpar.

 

[aunshi189]

One minor gripe I had with this film was the sneery superiority of the Wakandians. I loved Wakanda in Black Panther and enjoyed teh characters but they just seemed a little bit up themselves this time, especially with how little they achieved.

It was stupid when you consider that Widow had much better Chemistry with Cap and worked many, many missions together that connection would have made more sense.

the soul stone is the one that is used to kill half the universe

We simply do not have any information yet to understand StarLord's strengths or limits. We know the attached to Ego and the source of his power is gone. But that in no way means he does not have powers via his parentage that are dormant or he has not tapped into yet. You could think of him as clearly being a mutant with fantastic potential due to whatever genes Ego contributed to him. Ego dying would not remove from him what he was.

Yeah, but that's kind of my point.
GoTG have already had 2 movies, 1 of those movies was about Quill's origins, and the Guardians just played a big role in IW, so 3 movies with Starlord, and we STILL don't even know if he has powers or not?
That makes no sense.

 

[method115]

It is unnecessary but I liked it. You have to give these characters some sort of personality outside of missions and using relationships is one way to do that.

 

[method115]

the soul stone is the one that is used to kill half the universe

All the stones are used for that otherwise he would have just went and got the soul stone correct?

 

[blaseblah]

What other option do you think he had? I'm not understanding what you thought was dumb.
The way I see it, he had 2 choices..he either tries his hail mary knife trick, or he just lays down and lets Thanos and crew curb stomp him.
If he somehow was able to kill Thanos and grab a stone, he could have a chance.
He had no other reason to believe that Thanos would let him live.

Loki could've done literally anything else and it would have been a better decision that likely results in him being alive

1) Do nothing. As we've established, Thanos only cares about the stones and generally doesn't kill other characters, even ones that attack him.

2) Try to join Thanos.

3) Flee.

4) Hide.

5) Literally anything else besides walking up to Thanos with a knife up his sleeve that even Thor can see. He's a friggin god with superpowers. Saying he had no other options is ludicrous.

They are a secretive nation that mistrusts the outside world. It's the first time many of them would have spent time with outsiders.
They look at the outside world, and it looks like shit compared to Wakanda.
They are also one of the only African countries to escape colonization, of course they would be wary of outsiders

I liked their attitude in BP, just seemed arrogant to me this time around. Maybe it's partly due to Black Panther's lack of screen time, gave him less time to be developed.

Spoiler

Or maybe I'm turning alt-right
