The Official "Avengers: Infinity War" Thread (SPOILERS)

[Luke Cage]

This thread is a testament to how great IW was and how whack EG was.

Look how long this thread was and how long we talked about it.

Endgame was compared to this.

My only problem with endgame was Ironman seemingly discovering time travel by accident. Should've just kept Hank Pym alive and let him do that. I think that would've been an improvement. Have them at least work together and figure it out.

 

[Renegade47]

endgame was trash because nothing happened until the end. it was a heist movie with no tension or sense of urgency. what happens if they fail in the past? who is there to try to prevent them from succeeding with their goal? no one cus the antagonist died in the first 20 mins.

the end was amazing but everything leading up to it was like being in a drag race on cruise control cus you know you had nothing to worry about.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So them making hulk n thor jokes were good? Basically recaping the mcu was better? Showing Black widow dying was better than gamora? There wasn’t any tension in EG like that it’s average at best.

Hulk been one note angry for like 4 or 5 movies. Don’t really have a problem with him switching it up for the purpose they needed. Most folks on the coli criticize or shyt on films that don’t have “character development”

Thor, I didn’t really see him as a “joke” out of everyone, he experienced the more trauma and the most tragedy and loss pretty much out of everyone since Thor to this movie.

He as just a man deeply in pain and anguish trynna keep it together and not go over the edge.

He kinda reminded me of situations or people like that in real life where you can see they in pain but they try to mask it with jokes or humor but they can’t mask that look in their eyes. So no, CH played that pretty good and I didn’t see Thor as a joke. Ie, it reminded me of people with drug problems

As far as tension.

Disagree, the movie started off with nothing but tension and despair the first 15-20 mins.

Then there’s was other things throughout the rest of the film. Now did IW have more? Yea of course, but that was telling a different and specific story and this, though in fairness was a continuous story, was telling the after math and a different.

They didn’t in my opinion really need to go back to the same well and play the same notes over again back to back. That would’ve to me been like the mistake with Deadpool 2 after Deadpool 1.

Not Trynna throw shots at that movie, but I see why the writer or directed from the first didn’t return for the sequel cuz he wanted to do something different but RR wanted to double down and do more of the same and thats exactly what he did.

it’s like

that question was literally answered like twice.

Their whole plan was to just basically go back, get the gems, snap, then return them like they never left.

If everything would’ve went smoothly, we would’ve never got the ending

The reason things resorted to how they did was cuz they literally failed in the past, not just once but twice (fukked up with the tesserect, forcing them to attempt to retrieve a 2nd time, fukked up with getting the power stone, tipping off Thanos of their plans)

It those 2 things don’t occur.... this movie basically is over in 15 mins and only Scarlet dies.

Cuz with Hulk, there’s no need for Tony to sacrifice himself

Also Cap doesnt to back to be with Peggy so he’s still young and in this timeline which also means no Falcon and WS

Anybody saying Endgame was wack
To say it wasn't as good as IW is totally valid...but to straight up call it trash is beyond ridiculous. I guess some people just need to see explosions and fighting non stop


But thinking about IW the other day....non of Doctor Strange's scenarios for beating Thanos involved somebody just knocking Quill out when he started simping or chopping Thanos' arm off when he was under?

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Not a fan of endgame, this was the real Ending to the Avengers for me.

I think under the circumstances and tools they had available, they did a hell of a job adapting the Infinity Saga about as well as it could be translated on the big screen. I mean they did it with like 85% of their characters not even apart of it. Some that were pretty key to the real story

So your problem is you expected it to be just a heist/action movie. How is that the movies fault.

Thor was a flat out drunk joke until he talked to his mother they could have just had him over the top serious with grief or something

hulk was ass don’t even know why you’re trying to defend that decision

there wasn’t any tension thanos didn’t put a fight I’ll give you despair on the other hand but anyway y’all proclaim it as the goat when it’s average at best

they shouldnt have made that particular movie. honestly. thanos shouldnt have done the snap at the end of IW it shoulda been at the beginning or the middle of endgame. then they should have found a to reverse it.


them fukking up getting the stones was just goofy shyt tho it just seemed weird for the movie to not have an antagonist up until the 3rd act. it made it boring.

and dont get me started on tony sacrificing himself AGAIN (avengers 1) and dying when that should have been cap. i get why they did it tho it was easy to write both of them out that way.

endgame up until the end was a 5/10. the end battle itself was a 10/10.

Starting with Hulk, I’m not trynna defend the decision one way or another. But I just look at his journey and can see what it was from beginning to end.

Back to Thor, again.... we literally say over the top grief in IW and then in the first 20 mins of this movie. Remember there was a time jump

I still disagree about the tension part and I already provided examples, but the movie is 3 hours long, even with any other example of movies with tension, there wasn’t constant nonstop tension from start to finish. Also, that’s not in my opinion a factor that should make or break a movie.

Saying it’s average is wild, but I guess it’s a personal choice for you and based on your scale vs a more common ground universal scale.

To me movies like Ghostrider, Venom, Hulk, F4 (the first one) were average and this movie was far better than them. (Making a specific effort to not include any DC movies so niccas won’t catch feelings or say I’m taking shots)

But to each is their own

So wait, first paragraph, you think they should taken from IW to add to EG?

Well to let you know, that originally was the plan, I recall an interview the Russo’s stating that. But then on their journey change their minds.

I agree the way it plays out was the best way to do it.

I don’t think the fukk up was goofy or weird shyt just went south. Similar to like say in BP on the casino scene when the plan was to just go in, meet the white dude and discretely blend in and get out but shyt just went south.

The last paragraph is kinda nitpicking, if you stating you understand why it was done not sure what the issue was.

RDJ who’s 50+ wanted a definite out and they had to create a way to end him.

Chris Evans wanted a for now out and they had to create a way to get him out the way.

I can’t even really be mad at that cuz it falls into “it is what it is” categories. Had they wanted to do more movies I’m sure this move ends in a completely different way but a decade is a long time to be attached to something like this. Other guys like Chris Helms, this seems to be his biggest break and most successful franchise so I can see him being more eager to go on especially after how well Thor 3 did.

Sam L says he wants to be NF forever.

But Rob and Chris kinda forced the Russo’s hand. Overall, I thought it ended well

 

[DA_LURKA]

who is there to try to prevent them from succeeding with their goal? no one cus the antagonist died in the first 20 mins.

Did you even watch the movie?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Damn, Marvel really releasing shyt



All this discussion about Hulk now just feels silly.... evidently there were some other plans for him but I guess once they went to editing.

Maybe didn’t feel like it flowed well with the movie

shiiiiit an animator and a few neckbeards came up with scenarios but the "master of the mystic arts" got one shytty ass outcome
