Spider man 2 comes out 2 months after avengers 4. So we will probably already see trailers for his next film while he’s supposed to be dead

Thanos motive being population control?
Well, they definitely couldn’t go with the comic book version of his motive...Sh!t would’ve been really dark then. Imagine, a man falling in love with Death herself then deciding to wipeout half the Universe to please her. Too dark for a Disney affiliated movie. I believe that is why there were a bunch of comedic elements in the movie, to not have that entire weight of darkness on the viewers.

all i gotta say brehs
They OD'd on the comedy a little too much but still a very
movie. Thanos didn't give me the most evil vibe either.... dare I say they made him too compassionate?
Meh. This was solid but underwhelming as fukk for what it’s supposed to represent.
10 years and you claim it’s the cinematic event of a life time and that’s what you deliver?
That ending was absolutely meaningless. There’s already a spider man 2 and black panther 2 etc films announced. Those deaths were a cheap prop that will have absolutely no bearing to the future. This is the problem with knowing the future film slates already in universes. Like cool you killed spider man but we already know he’s going to be back so who gives a shyt?
Thanos had his comic motivation stripped away to give him a generic I have to kill people to save people motivation that’s been used by about a dozen villains in generic action flickskillmonger is still the best mcu villain.
That last I wanna say ~45 minutes was amazing. The fight between Thanos and spider/strange/iron man etc was the highlight of the film. The wakanda fight had its moments but the generic creatures that look like they’re lifted from “the Great Wall” were shyt. And the black order were utterly forgettable.
The first like 1hr 45 minutes of this film were uneven and shaky as hell. Some highs but long stretches of tedium. A romance sub plot with visionand man some of the action was shockingly poorly done before those final battles. Nothing but shaky cam zoomed in quick edits.
People can say I’m hating but I actually expected better. This movie squandered the chance to be something special that rose above the average mcu film. Instead it was just another mcu film. Same forced humour. Same undercutting of serious moments with jokes.
I liked it enough, but I actually wanted this to be great.
My biggest highlights were Thanos cgi and Thor. Thor was the star of the film. He’s finally not nerfed and his talk with Rocket was fantastic. It was a really nice job by hemsworth.
The whole film felt toothless. They could have shocked and awed with thanos killing hulk right at the start. Instead he gets saved and idris gets it. Iron man gets stabbed but lives....
I’ll say this though it’s a hard movie to judge because it’s not complete. I don’t know what will happen in the next one and this isn’t a complete story. So,maybe as a complete package this will be amazing but that was not some game changer of a film in the first half.
That after credit sceneI pray to god I wasn’t right about captain Mary Sue being the saviour of the mcu. That would be so incredibly corny.
Anyway. I’ll probably watch it again in theatres because some of the visuals are breath taking and I want to see them in imax. The movie is worth the price of admission but people expecting greatness,this ain’t it.

Def agree with the undercutting of serious moments with jokes too much. Some moments were great, but others I'm like really? We making jokes?

Yeah, I definitely got that vibe as well. Pretty much to humanize him and to truly see things from his perspective despite how twisted it may be. I think that is what I like most about Thanos as there is a bit of depth and thought in why he does the things he do. It’s no coincidence that he’s been able to practically take over the Universe 3 times because of this.

Like others have pointed out, the weight of the character deaths is almost completely null when you know coming into the movie that there are a gazillion sequels already slated with certain characters. Their were legit dumb ass chicks in tears at the theater I was in at the end. Like Black Panther didn't just crack a billion dollars at the box office. Use some common sense.
The only way IMO those deaths could have had any real world sense of people leaving the theater on some
would have been if they did what I actually thought they might do, and leave us with no end credits scene. The ending of the movie alone was enough of a cliffhanger, if they really gut punched the audience and left us with no end credits scene, then I would have partially been like, damn, maybe Marvel really aint playin around here
But I dont wanna shyt on this movie too much, cuz overall I thought it was done really well. It's just the economics of the movie biz and how Hollywood works nowadays kinda sucked some of the juice out of it for me. Btw, since they did do an end credits scene, I was BEGGING for them to go full blown nerdgasm and have Fury end up trying to contact Professor X or any sort of X tie-in. Shyt would have been the greatest cinematic scene in movie history
.
Especially given how my audience reacted during the Red Skull reveal. Whole place did a collective

Another thing that confused me
Why was Thor asking about the Gauntlet to the Giant Dwarf and when did he make it for Thanos
but wasnt the infinity Gauntlet in Odin's Vault in the 1st Thor movie??
Thor literally lived in the same house as the infinity gauntlet but was shocked when he first seen it in this movie?

Josh Brolin gotta get a Oscar for this.
Son really had me feeling a lil compassion for Thanos. He did a GREAT job of humanizing him.

Now that we all see that shot with Hulk wasn't in this movie, is it safe to say it may be part of the next one, and part of the next one will be going back to revisit specific points like that fight? just speculating...

I get it, but besides your criticism about the unevenness of the film, you’re just complaining based on preconceived notions and expectations. You can’t evaluate a movie looking at what it might have been, you can only evaluate what you got and the movie itself was solid af, with some structural/writing problems here and there but that honestly gets a pass from me considering the scale and number of characters

It was a fake. Remember it got smashed in Thor 3. I remember reading years ago how they just kinda threw it in the first Thor movie as a cool little easter egg with no connections (sorta like Cap's shield in the first Iron Man), but once they got further along in the storyline, they had to retcon things in the earlier films.

The part that stuck with me as the worst was the moment of drax standing there right after that actual touching moment between star lord and gamora. Like god damn man just let a fukking serious moment stand. It’s insulting to rob scenes of any power like that.
