WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - D&W OUT NOW - Doomsday = RDJ back

[Mark Antony]

Again, it's kind of complicated to compare the two because take the ending of "Fellowship of the Ring" for example.

It culminates at the battle in the forest with the Uruk-Hai. Boromir dies trying to save the Hobbits, Aragorn kills the leader of the Uruk-Hai, and Frodo sneaks off from the group. The fellowship is disbanded shortly thereafter with them at their lowest point (Legolas literally says "We failed...").

But Aragorn tells them to quit whining because Merry and Pippen are in need of rescue. Frodo and Sam set off on their quest to Mordor. There was a sense of direction for the upcoming film while simultaneously ending the first chapter.

Infinity War's ending was kinda aimless with everybody dying. No set-up for the sequel. Just fade to white. It was the MCU equivalent of the Sopranos finale. It was a non-ending.

Isn't it a bit obvious what the aim is for the remaining Avengers?


I understand the gripes and the elements that could have been added or removed, but for what they accomplished it's quite a feat. Dudes bust their *** to make a balanced film for everyone and did a great job.


Plus one of NTs greatest past times is questioning people's intelligence based on TV/movies (general observation, not you), so I don't get the need for spoon-feeding, can't be both ways.

So can we all agree Quill is the new Clint?

No, he was actually kinda op here which was cool.

Spoiler: this is canon.

this is canon. in the 90's shortly after getting her powers, carol has a Roddy Piper They Live moment on earth, when she discovers almost everyone she knew in life was a kree in disguise.

after it was all over, carol became paranoid and decided exploring space was more her thing. earth was sketchy as hell at the time. so you cant blame her. like to think to think Carol has become drinking buddies with john c riley the nova corp dude and other respectable alien type's (stan lee) and is responsible for putting all those creepy aliens in that space prison. from guardians of the galaxy. you know the one so packed that quill has to sleep on top of everyone. In fact Carol's so good at bashing space pirates, she retires early cause she's kind of a slacker who has "ALL THE POWERS." she would prefer going planet to planet like a tourist, she's literally the female peter parker, Like stoked about everything, cracking wise. trying space weed, space nightlife, even space dating but despite being brie larson alien men consider her ugly even though she's brie larson. and the only one's showing her attention are yondu and or howard the duck.) .

carol's deal is that she's kind of a technophobe though, it's her cute girl quirk. but nick fury had manage to convince her to be beeper buddies. Since carol is a unforgiving slacker, every time Fury tries to get in contact with her she always replies at the last minute. like she replies right after the events of avengers 1. get pissed that nick cancelled. get's called about winter soldier, she replies right after captain america saves the day. The same things happen for age of ultron and civil war.

but weird **** starts happening in her neck of the space woods. like she over hears gossip at the local water hole about the guardians taking out ronin who funny enough she was casually searching for but with no luck. the guardians destroying a planet that was actually a god. Asgard burning to a crisp. some wizard getting weird with dormamuu. Thanos name keeps popping up and Carol has know idea who he is. while she's trying to make sense of it alll in a drunken Valkrye like stupor, thanos does the whole infinity thing.

business as usual business as usual but suddenly all of carol's drinking buddies start melting away and she tries calling her dealer.no answer. she runs into stan lee who melts and john c riley melts and then her beeper goes off and a chill runs own Carol's spine. she sleeps on it and the next day realizes half the galaxy is gone. this is the big one for her. and who does she run into. Tony stark and Nebula trying to hitch a ride back to earth.

This is only comparable to LOTR 1 due to the type of ending but that’s where it all ends. LOTR 1 was masterly crafted. I’m downing this movie but, even though I didn’t have a problem with it, infinity war was “loud” the entire way from start to finish with the exception of getting the soul stone

 

[drunken cow]

How strong is Captain American, I mean like damn, that guy got straight up punched in the face, by a Titan God with the Gauntlet, the same Titan that knocked out the Hulk cold, but his skull somehow didnt pop like Glen's did in the Walking Dead? Basura.

I mean. I understand being upset that the movie left on a cliffhanger, but I think it's obvious where the direction is headed.. I don't think the direction of the part 2 movie has to be spelled out..

 

[masagipatron]

I'm curious about the timeline for Ant-Man and Wasp. Did they catch the fade too? Will they show that in the new film?

Yeah spot on. From a story stand point it makes sense but it was devoid of emotional impact imo because of the pacing of the movie. The whole movie was full of endings if you know what I mean. One mega dramatic thing after the other

THIS is where you drew the line on reality?

No one said mass murder isn't bad.
But let's not blend the ideals behind the motivation. And as someone else said. He wasn't looking to be the God or the hero. He legit wanted the universe to just do better.
Which it has proven time and time again it cannot.
Some of y'all need to keep the same energy. Because if soneone said let's wipe out the kkk. There'd be no argument against that from some of y'all.
Either all life is precious
Or some stuff needs to go for the betterment. No half steppin

He made them "vanish", dammit! It was a painless death so it's not genocide!

#NotAllTitans

This.

 

[masagipatron]

Cap is tough. He was about to pick up Thor's hammer. Black Widow on the other hand got her powers from the #MeToo movement apparently cause she should have been outta here from the gate.

Sounds just like Hitler, early American slavemasters etc, thought they were doing things for the better of their country and in turn the world. YOU need to keep the same energy or join the real world where things don't fit into a black and white category. Plus I'm sure that quote is sarcastic.

Thanos is a fabian socialist, nobody else peep this

 

[MalcolmNewton]

I didn't even notice the Thanos will return line lol

Right after the Capt Marvel messaged received credit.

It says that AM and the Wasp is after the events of CW.

I've said multiple times in the thread that I credit the Russos for how well-paced, balanced, and entertaining the film was, so I totally get where you are coming from in that respect.

Just personally and I know I'm in the minority, the ending didn't jive with me. Everyone is just left broken and confused with no idea what to do next.

Hats off to them for having the villain win in the end though.

 

[ksteezy]

This makes sense, she’s pretty much the Supes of the MCU then...lol

Just sucks the most OP Avenger and we are just finding out about her 12 years later

 

[sb]

Bruce was reduced to comic relief. That was a horrible choice

didnt like that part of the movie. would of prefered he not be in the fight at all since hulk was re-evaluating life. he should of stayed and helped shuri with vision and redeem himself in a4. comedic relief for most of the movie. that fear when he hugged tony should of been his character tone for the entire movie to show the power of thanos. dude was crackin jokes after he met stark. which is it, fear or jokes. cant have both.

Thats what THEY felt at the time.
I'm on the side of all Life is precious...
but I understand his conviction and why he wanted to do what he did.
Not my beliefs and what I would do. I would just let us burn out like the sun eventually will and let that be our fate
but like I said no half steppin.
either everything lives, or nothing lives. . if you believe one Ant even needs to die for no reason. then well....

 

[blastercombo]

I was thinking hulk would pop out of the hulk buster armor. I sat and waited..... the credits came and there I waited. My child begging for food and yet I still waited. Here I am still waiting for hulk to turn into hulk.......

 

[Mark Antony]

I preferred Norton over Ruffalo anyways. Like he conveyed Bruce's loneliness and darkness a bit better. Mark Ruffalo to me is just always Mark Ruffalo.

I don’t get how is an aimless ending....30% of the squad is left defeated, it’s obvious the next step is to gather what’s left, come together and get that Gauntlet....Fury put out the call for Danvers so the Avengers that are left will have their help, Tony is stuck with the best person possible that can help him off Titan...not sure why but I’m hella excited for Nebula and her arc...I feel she’s been pretty underrated but with a Gamora catching the fade I think she takes her place in the squad....the romance between Gamora and Quill was never believable for me anyways

 

[ksteezy]

This is the real legit complaint of the movie, they dooped Hulk just to get their moneys worth out of Ruffalos face...NOT COOL....also they gave Ruffalo too much of a comedic relief...I like the actor, I just don’t think his type of comedy is necessary

 

[everysingletime]

I feel like the russos eliminated half the squad not just for emotional purposes but also for story purposes. They did a great job balancing all the characters this movie, but the balancing act is much easier when you eliminate half the roster (damn I sound like Thanos here).
And there's going to be way more room to slot Captain Marvel in next time around. Since they are setting her up to be the avengers wild card she's going to demand a serious amount of screen time. Again, making that happen will be easier to do when you have less characters to work with.

 

[aNYone]

Could it be possible that the greatest loss is still yet to come? Of course at the end of it all the avengers will prevail major sacrifice may be necessary.

At this point nothing is off the table.
