Think about the shit week Thor has had for a moment.

- Father dies.
- Best friends (Warrior Three) is killed.
- Sister destroys his people and dies.
- Loses an eye.
- Ragnarok destroys his planet.
- Brother dies.
- Friend Heimdall dies.
- Thanos wipes out half his people.
- His friends at Nidavellir got hit hard.
- Loses work collegues, although he don't know Spidey, BP, Strange etc.
His brief heart to heart moment with Rocket was great. You can see his eyes watery, yet he had to stay strong and optimistic.

There were reports months ago on the old site saying Cap would have a minor role in IW and shine in A4.

Which i'm all for but even if he didn't get more moments in A4 he had one of the best here.

Well, watched it a second time today to see how it felt on a repeat viewing after yesteday, and upgraded my 4/5 to 5/5. Hung around the mall too long texting my girlfriend and now I'm somehow in possession of a ticket for the last showing of the day to see it a third time. This film owns.

Yeah. A4 is out in almost exactly 1 year.

Yes. Small break inbetween.

Thought so.

My fave part about this scene was Thanos face, think he was genuinely surprised that a Human without any armour had this sort of strength. Also I hope Cap gets more screen time in A4, unlike a lot of people he's one of my fave MCU characters.

I wonder why they are waiting 1 whole year then and not just using the December slot since there is no star wars in December this year. Probably because of the captain Marvel movie that's isn't out u til March next year.
There's plenty of valid reasons. For example they're having reshoots later this year. Also don't forget that CGI takes time.

Because we know it doesn't matter. BP isn't dead, Spidey isn't dead, Strange isn't dead.

Not to mention that Strange said there's only one future where they win and his saving Tony is likely directly linked to saving wveryone.

That's because our culture asks for to much info on whats to come. As for now, present, its effective in its execution. It's not suppose to think about future movies while shit is going down. And those characters are dead in this timeline. It's cannon and we witnessed that.

Did anyone here bring anyone who haven't seen any prior MCU movies, and what was their reaction to Infinity War?

Just got back, loved it. Quick question for those who've seen the post credits scene, what was that little device that Fury dropped, and what popped up on it? I'm not a comic guy, so I get the feeling it's a reference I don't know.

I hope noone does. I completely understand why some critics were harsh on the movie, one Norwegian newspaper gave it 3/6. IW is not a movie that should be seen if you haven't seen most of the other MCU movies. It is not a standalone movie, you won't understand what's happening and why unless you have seen most of the other MCU movies.

It's basically just a fancy looking pager, but the thing that popped up on it is a reference to Captain Marvel. :)

Yea CGI takes time but also remember that it was shot back to back. Meaning they would had time to do post fx work on it ever since they finished the work on IW which was likely several months ago, then you add in a few more months from now to say September and a December release could have been met were it not for the captain marvel movie and the reshoots. Just to take note of the timeline, IW shooting finished in July 2017 and movie came out in April 2017...that's 9 months. Avengers 4 finished shooting in January 2018...but obviously as you say there are reshoots to be done.

Just saw it. Mixed bag for me. The biggest positive was they expertly juggled so many characters and made them all feel important. They went too long between following up with stark though once he got on the spaceship. Could have edited together better. Biggest negative was the boring visuals. You have Dr strange, thanos with all the stones etc and the most creative they can get is people turning to ash? For all the talk of introducing all the crazy cosmic elements of marvel it really seem like they don't want to. Very boring in that sense compared to the comic version.

Also the ending was frustrating because literally everything will be reversed

Still it some great moments , red skull, thanks and his sacrifice, Thor being sweet etc

My only real criticisms (fairly minor):
  • Proxima Midnight should've been Carrie Coon with CGI embellishments, rather than straight mocap/full cgi. She looked human enough that I don't think full CGI was ever going to believable enough.
  • The scene where Banner's head is sticking out of the hulk buster armour just did not work.
  • They should've had Hugo Weaving do the ADR for Red Skull, even if he wasn't the one physically portraying him.
  • I thought Spidey's death speech felt a little bit cliched. I get what they were going for, but I felt they could've been much more original or subtle about it. You have two great actors in that scene, I don't think you need as much hammy dialog to get the point across.
Absolutely loved the movie though. I was expecting disjointed vignettes, down solely to the vast array of characters they had to service, but it was nothing like that. You had a brilliant narrative driving everything, all of the characters felt like they were there to service the story (rather than the fans) and not just tick boxes, and the pace of the action was more relentless than anything I've seen since Speed.

The symbol it shows at the end is Captain Marvel's logo. So the assumption is that he was calling for her to come to Earth to save everyone.

CG studios are already crushed. As in there is not enough. They also have Solo, Poppins, and a few others for the year already.

Biggest reason is Marvel movies have been kicking off the summer for the past 6 years. Why give up the spot?

I still think it can be seen by someone who haven't seen the prior films and still get something out of it. Sure they won't get the same fulfillment as a fan, but they'll be able to understand a villain is coming to wipe them out, the heroes will do anything to not make it happen. And still end up surprised when the villain succeeds. Even if they don't know any of the characters, the movie explains who Gamora is to everyone, and will feel a little of the impact of her death. I think a casual would still get something out of it as a stand-alone, but not necessarily get as much from it as a fan.

What exactly is up Hugo Weaving's butt with Marvel?

The first Cap movie was great and did not do a disservice to his character, I feel. Was he mistreated by the director or Feige?

That scene could not have taken more than a day to shoot. So why didn't he?

According to TVTropes he just didn't care that much about the movies, but he seems to have changed his mind here.

Considering Red Skull's minor role in Infinity War, it's possible that he's just not coming back until Red Skull's a full villain again.

Holy Shit movie clips being uploaded on Pornhub of all places, haha

Well played

Just watched the last 10 minutes, goddamn choked up (lol pun) at parts

Also ManaByte got yourself a thread dedicated to over at MarvelStudiosSpoilers, lol, job well done sir

Reddit has been nuking posts there for pirating the movie. So they're trying to get around the Reddit deletions. They're going to get their sub nuked entirely probably.

It's not just Marvel. He said he was done with "genre" movies after the Hobbit trilogy.

Got out of seeing this not 5 minutes ago and this film had way too many corny marvel Disney jokes that didn't work for me

Eg I am groot, I am Steve (capt america)
The most useless MCU character black widow held to kill dark elf woman "that's disgusting joke
Didn't like mark rufallo and the lack of hulk in this and that last scene with him in the giant suit just looked shit

It felt like a checklisty type movie with thanos running from check point to check point collecting the stones and that somewhat understandable is the point of this movie but the weakest part has to be the snore fest cgi massive fight in wakada

All scenes with Stark, doctor strange, spidey were great as was that fight against thanos when it was more intimate less nonsensical big chaos monster mash. They really sold how close they got to stealing the gauntlet off thanos and how believable It was.

What this movie needed: Gwyneth Paltrow fading away.

As someone who bought the infinity gauntlet comics when it came out, this was disappointing. But it was always going to be challenging to adapt.

Best thing about this was the humanity that brolins thanos had. He wasn't a comic book character and he wasn't played as a
Maniacal villian. Loved that last shot with him. Cinema gasped when stark got stabbed and I wished he'd died

Since Thor's in charge, maybe they'll call A4 The Revengers.

Honestly of all the movies he was in, I didn't really like Thor that much (he felt like a side character got his own movies) but he was really great in this movie especially towards the end where he lands on Wakanda with Rocket and Groot. Ragnarok was way too on the nose with the humor.

Marvel Studios really need take some notes from the Russos on how to mix comedy and serious moments.

I'll agree with all of this, except for Ragnarok. It was the first script that gave him something to do, fight for, etc. In Thor, he was a whiney baby with daddy issues, Dark World turned him into a guy who really just wanted to save his girlfriend, it wasn't until Thor 3 that he seemed more like the Thor from comics, which continued in IW.

Maybe it's the scripts, maybe it's the actor getting more comfortable with the role, but Thor went from being my least favorite to top 3 behind Spider-Man and Cap.

Was going to say "Have you seen Thor 3?", but a maybe not so friendly ghost has me covered.

I get that, but for me the movie went too jokey especially Banner who was quite normal in the previous movie and went into "dumb funny" mode in Ragnarok. Not everyone or everything needs to be funny.
