See! I knew Scarlett Witch dropped her accent.

I finally got around to wantching this last night. With the exception of guessing that Gamora eats it, I remained mostly spoiler free. After seeing all the memes online of grown men curled up in a fetal position crying after watching this movie I was expecting it to be a kick in the gut. Seeing my Bucky and Peter go were the two sad ones and even that wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Maybe I would have lost it if Cap or Tony Stark had bitten the dust.

This is also the first time that I noticed a lot of these actors are really starting to show their age. RDJ, Don Cheadle, and Scarlet Johansson all seemed to be looking just a little worn out. Luckily Elizabeth Olson is still looking pretty good, as she was smoking in her scenes.

I couldn’t help notice the world of difference in the CGI baddies Thanos and Steppenwolff from JL. How Thanos can look so good and Steppenwolf can look so completely shitty is beyond me.

All-in-all one of the better Marvel flicks and I’d even say it was better than Most Popular Oscar winner Black Panther.

Jon2

Cause he's a shitty looking character?

GoldenJCJ

The character of Steppenwolf is no shittier looking than Thanos yet they made Thanos look like an actual living being while Steppenwolf looked like a waxy, plastic pile of crap.

I don't know how you managed to remain spoiler free for almost 4 months on the biggest comic movie of 2018. Talk has died down now, but this was heavily talked about in late April and most of May.

Is it because of your kids that you absolutely just couldn't make it to the theater back in April? I would have lost my mind waiting so long.

GoldenJCJ

Yep. We have two kiddos under 4 years old. Before kids, me and my wife would go to the movies weekly and see pretty much everything at the theater. Summer movie season is always hard for me now since I have to wait until they’re released on Blu-ray.

I tend to avoid spoilers for movies in most cases anyway but if it’s a movie I really think could be ruined from spoilers I take extra precautions. Sometimes it’s impossible to avoid (the Gamora spoiler was seen in a completely unrelated thread) but I do my best.

I'm in the same boat as you. 2 kids under 4, very rarely go out on the town without them. When my wife and I do get out, it's not to go watch a movie. Generally something more interactive where we can actually talk to each other for more than 2 minutes without being interrupted.

Any time I saw a headline or post that talked about the movie, I skipped right over it. This was the only movie that I had to tell people at work to let me leave first before discussing. The only thing I knew going into it was that Spiderman died.

Finally Red Boxed this and Enjoyed it. Didn't cry at the end like others but that's just me, I'm grown. Just Kidding. To be honest, by the end of this movie I felt the same way about Thanos as i did with The Empire in Star Wars...Good Idea, fucked up Methods. But unlike the Elites in the real world like Bill Gates and others who target poor populations..at least Thanos was more balanced.

I will say that the SFX Team deserves an OSCAR and so does Brolin. Totally believed Thanos and any CGI shittieness was easy to ignore. Contrast that with the what are they called? Black Order? Their CGI was Meh, easy to get taken out of the film when they were on. It was, dare I say..."Steppenwolf Level CGI"

Also, Brolin giving Thanos a slightly Red Neck tone was very interesting too. some of Brolin's line deliveries as Thanos felt like they were from a Shakespearean version of "Jonah Hex". But I was cool with it.

TGM

yeah, I didn't get too upset... the Peter/Tony scene was very touching, but knowing that the majority of these people, if not all, will return negated any impact their deaths had on me.

now, part 2..., <deep breath>... I am going to lose my shit if Tony, Cap, or Thor die.

fumanstan

Wait, are you saying Bill Gates is like Thanos? What am I missing here.

Giantrobo

It was a bit of a joke. People believe Gates and other World Elites are out to "Thanos" the real world with things like "killer vaccines" and other methods to kill people in poor nations.

fumanstan

Weird, never heard that was a thing before. Idiots.

RichC2

Some people have been watching too much Utopia.

Giantrobo

Yeah it's a Conspiracy Theory that seems to run on Right Wing and Left extreme circles and with the Anti-Vaccine folks.

Snopes has debunct it

slop101

Yeah, with those actors being out of contract and not wanting to do any more, they might very well get the axe. Though, like the comics, their mantle can easily get passed on to someone else.
I think it's now more likely that Drax stays dead as well...

Draven

No reason to kill everyone. They can sunset characters like Tony Stark and then bring the house down in 10 years when old RDJ flies in to rescue someone.

Voted 3.5 Stars.

Avengers: Infinity Wars...aka My Thoughts by Thanos.

Watched the 4K a couple of weeks ago.
Not quite up there with the first 2.
IMO, too much focus on The Big Bad.
Kinda strange in that regard.
Anyway, worth a watch.
Doubt I'll remember much in a couple more weeks.

Sonny Corinthos

I just watched the movie for the very first time. Thought it was great! I do have a question...

Thank you guys.

So, listened to the commentary track on Endgame and it explained my post back here about the Hulk in the trailer.

As this is an Infinity War thread I'll spoiler this kinda' Endgame stuff

fujishig

Problem was they solved nothing in Endgame for that character. In fact, they pretty much skipped over all of that.

I haven't watched the movies back to back but I imagine that's pretty jarring if you do.

ViewAskewbian

I just did that and I didn't find it so. As referenced again in the commentary track, the plan was to place the Avengers in very different circumstances, mindsets and, of course, body sets after the 5 year jump so that it would be jarring.
