Tip-toeing around and neutering their own movies so die-hard geeks (I'm part of that too) won't be as miffed on how an adaptation of a story you can read in comics, and all future works based on those comics, plays out, is a wasted effort.
They had more than succeeded in getting the audience to respond how they want, even with "obvious" and "lame" deaths.
We'll part on opinions, but I'll say again, the "they shouldn't show who dies from the snap" is absolutely stupid from a screenwriting, emotional, and narrative standpoint, and exists as a negative use of the "Rule of Cool" trope. Yeah, it'll be cool if that happens but it'll make no damn sense. It'll take you out of the film. It's for cheap suspense instead of genuine gravitas.
The fight on Titan might be the cinematic representation of superhero powers ever. That shit was nuts, and there was a lot to it. Each character had a completely different skill set, but they were all used in some way.
The Red Skull reveal was the biggest surprise for me because it's the only that never once entered my imagination as something that would happen in this movie. It also got one of the biggest reactions in my crowd. One guy in front just literally yelled "WHAT THE FUCK!"
Amen to all this. Man I really need to see it again to refresh on all this good team-up stuff
Also how can we forget Bucky spinning around with Rocket and then the whole "How much for the arm?" bit
Lmao so good, that line got a big laugh in my theater
Good fucking morning Godda........I mean Destiny awaits..
But um yeah. Just watched it. Felt nothing as expected. Just burnt out on the superhero thing now.
Will say it was very well done and everybody was given decent amounts of screen time. Didn't expect strange to be Starks foil, but it kinda did work. I feel that to the casual viewer though, Dr strange had not been throughly explained enough in terms of power levels. Especially loved that the crimson bands of cytorakk made an appearance
Hulk got some serious character assassnation. How you gonna turn him into such a cowardly bitch?
Loved the new stark suit, really felt like they were finally playing with the character rather than retreading old suits.
Never understood the red skull thing. I thought he only used the tesseract?
Still hate the iron spider suit, but I'll be honest and say the original maybe wouldn't of worked as well visually.
It wasn't instantaneous though, and seeing yourself turn to ash would at least qualify as extreme mental duress.
Also, it is simultaneously true that Strange knew, and actually relied on the fact that Starlord would flip out and ruin a plan that was working, and true that Starlord was still a fucking idiot for doing it. Strange foresaw that their only path to victory involved Starlord being a moron, but that doesn't let Starlord off the hook for being a moron.
That moment when Cap and Black Panther start sprinting to battle got me so hype. Lots of cool super hero moments like that in this film. I don't think they could have done much better than this. Loved it.
The other gauntlet we saw was this, and might be used in next movie
I'll stop my talk on future movies. Just excited cause they can literally do anything.
I dunno, Nick Fury saw himself dying and just went "finally I can curse".
[SPOILER="Speculation based on IG comic and things from there this film sets up"Ni'm guessing Nebula needs to survive for them to win and whatever other action they took would result in key players, especially Nebula, being dead. As for killing Thanos and taking the gauntlet, I imagine any effort to do so would have woken him up sooner.[/SPOILER]
"I'll get that arm..."
I think it makes sense. Hulk defines himself as the strongest one there is. This was the first time had lost a fight. And he lost it pretty badly.
Hulk is a child who just got his ass kicked for the first time. Of course he's scared. It's an interesting new angle for him.
Red Skull was played by Ross Marquand from The Walking Dead... and he's apparently good at doing impressions.
I had to look it up. That was really surprising to me.

honestly do want them all to gather and meet Thanos next movie and he's just this peaced out Farmer who welcomes them all and offers them food and shit.
Balance was reached, he has no qualms with them

Out of all of the Marvel TV shows, AoS is certainly not the one to criticize for ignoring the films.
They heavily tied into Winter Soldier, had a meaningful tie-in to Civil War and even had an Age of Ultron tie-in that really wasn't needed at all.
They react to the films when needed. And if they are renewed, they'll react to this. I could even see one of the cast members disintegrating in the season 6 premiere.

If you post this man's face again, I will gather the stones and reset this era, you hear?
Yeah, I wanted to see more of Cap kicking ass with the beard and black outfit.
These movies don't make billions off the backs of "die-hard geeks", they do that because they succeed and resonate with the general public. That being said, there were enough callbacks and lore references to lore bullshit that held a geek like me over, and in the end I was still swept up in the tragedy of the moment when they showed everyone disappearing. There were actually quite a few "not you too!" and cries of despair as they gradually revealed who didn't make it.
Anyone else feel the reason the Hulk won't come out is because of how hard Thanos beat his ass at the outset?
The Hulk persona seems to have a very adolescent mentality and is easily riled, becoming petulant and sullen.
Also, I loved that scene. It was a great way to demonstrate how Thanos is operating on an entirely different power level.
'Let him have his fun.'
Edit: Looks like I was beaten to the punch. :)

Well Donkey Kong doesn't need the infinity stones to use a moon as a weapon. He can just punch it
My headcanon, until proven otherwise, is that she and Korg helped a group of survivors make it outta there.
Yeah. If only Red Skull was a floating, ageless apparition.
*movie shows the outcome of Thanos attacking Thor's ship*
PACK IT UP GUYS THEY'RE ALL DEAD
Soul stone lit up once or twice during the Wakanda fight, when he was phasing people out of existence
It is the reason. Did the hulk not say that he was scared? At least something similar.
Why do the actors that play Black Panther / Spiderman HAVE to come back exactly?
Surely they can follow the Batman example that the superhero is an idea, not a person. Black Panther is just the king of Wakanda, and can be replaced by the next person in line to the throne. And maybe even Miles Morales can be the new Spider-Man?
Of course none of those things will happen, but seeing as everyone seems to have already worked out what's going to happen in A4, keeping them dead would be an incredibly ballsy move from Marvel.

Exactly and now you know Hulk is going to have a big moment in 4.
Yeah, I want Korg to be happy he saved everyone.
"I led a mission with more then just my mum!"
So I checked and it wasn't Weaving as Red Skull.
Didn't he have some sort of hate-boner about playing the character in The First Avenger?
Regardless, I'm glad they brought the character back.

Just got back from watching it, thought it was fantastic and Thanos is great, in my top 3 marvel movies for sure. My biggest gripe with the film is the fact that Guardians 3, Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2 and Spiderman 2 have already been confirmed so the impact of them all dying in this is pretty much gone when you know that they will be back after the next film.
Sorcerer fuckin' Supreme.There is something really great about the scene where Strange transforms one attack into something harmless and Thanos reacts so realistically, it's those small moments that really make him believable.
Hope Strange 2 goes wild.

This is the dumbest thing i've read today. As expected from an American.
Didn't catch that, thanks.
It's maybe too good for me, it appears.
