I feel you on that, you could pretty much see Cumberbatch reading his lines in Strange. But in IW that is the Strange I imagined would be on screen

I liked his scene in Ragnarok. I still don't think they've went in as much as they should with the magic stuff. Should be a lot crazier.

Yeah hopefully we get something cool with the sequel. More dimension hopping, bring in monsters and demons. I want to see pages from Aaron and Bachalos run brought to life.
I always liked Waid's Strange, his strange was "This weird shit? I do this on a slow day" and was kind of a asshole but not in a bad way.

As someone who knows next to nothing about Dr. Strange, he was so much cooler in IW than his own movie.

Strange vs. Thanos was the nerdiest shit I've ever seen in a movie and I loved it.

I think Strange was the star of the movie tbh

like the way Panther stood out in Civil War by just having that really unique style and a bunch of great action scenes, that was Strange in Infinity War.

no one else really stood out like that. Thor is runner up.

Russo's bumped up Strange in IW like they did with Ant-Man in CW, you knew they were the cool ones but Russo's just unleashed them.

Yeah, this makes me want a Strange 2 that's not meh.

Only disappointment was him not shouting out the names of his spells like an anime and/or fighting game character. Would have loved a "BY THE CRIMSON CHAINS OF CYTTORAK!" in there.

Just got back Holy shit marvel really fucking did it. Thanos was amazing, my heart is still racing, like I can't even eat.

The black order was wasted but, man Brolin was phenomenal.

Avengers got WASHED

Did they ever say the director for the first Doctor Strange is back? Because I'd be into bringing in someone else, like how Thor Ragnarok went.

Derickson will be fine since he's freed from the constraints of the origin story and having to explain or make sense of anything. Dr. Strange is now beyond that meager shit and audiences clearly love the spectacle and Strange's interactions with the others. So I expect the sequel to go all out, especially with Baron Mordo hopefully being the villain he was set up to be from the 1st. Very underrated performance for him in Strange 1. It was as much his origin story too, as he transitions from faithful servant to "rules maketh man" shit. He could be the next best Marvel villain since he was already set up. Or he could end up like a Klaw. I'm hoping he trends more Loki though, except of course in reverse with fewer alliance shifts.

This showing, the people didn't react as much to some things, reacted more to others, and you could still hear a pin drop during the final minutes.

Sitting here waiting for the credit scene, there's also a lot more discussion going on. General audiences have no idea what to make of this ending.

There was absolutely no recognition of
Captain Marvel's symbol either. Which I figured.

Also, what does Fury say to Hill right before the car cuts them off? "Tell Clint to meet us"?

I was super surprised that the general audience in my theater knew who
or what the symbol in the credits was about.

My two opening night viewings, the theater erupted, me included. I figured tonight's response would be relatively muted, but it was literally just a bunch of "....huh?" with a few acknowledgements peppered in.

Gotta say, my third time out, I'm still all in on this being the undisputed best film.

And for me atleast Thanos was the best villain.

The audience at my second viewing was boring and dead silent. No cheers, no clapping, just nothing. There were some laughs here and there. Glad I got the first experience with all the cheers.

And yup, Thanos best villain. Infinity War best film.

I need more Guardians of the Galaxy!

Anyone arguing about Nat fighting Proxima is an idiot.

A lot of people seriously don't pay attention to these movies.
Took no less than 2+ Avengers (or a Hulkbuster) to beat every member of the Black Order.

Man, I'm still high after seeing IW yesterday, such a fantastic film. Super hyped for Captain Marvel next year, which should be the following the events at some point I'm sure.

There's this dude next to me who was audibly reacting to everything. Saying "yes!" And doing like this fist bump when spider-man/GotG showed up, reacting to punching with an "ooh!" That sort of thing.

I hate this man, and even he was dead-ass silent during the final five/ten minutes. Not a single sound.
