Devastator 04.27.18	Discuss.
bloc 04.27.18	I'll be patient to watch this movie, as I know the first several weeks will be insanely busy. All I wanna know is what kind of world records this shit is gonna break lol
Devastator 04.27.18	I think someone said Thursday night they were anticipating like 45 million.
DinosaurJones 04.27.18	I haven't watch a superhero/comic movie since like... Spiderman 2
cold 04.27.18	who dies
DinosaurJones 04.27.18	Bill Murray
brainmelter 04.27.18	Batman dies sorry not sorry
bloc 04.27.18	It's a fuckin superhero movie, who cares about spoilers lol
NorwichScene 04.27.18	Best Marvel movie so far! Thor Ragnarok, GOTG, Winter Soldier and Doctor Strange in that order
guitarded_chuck 04.27.18	holy fucking shit i cannot wait to never see this movie #MakeHollywoodGreatAgain
JeetJeet 04.27.18	People are calling Thanos the best MCU movie villain and I'm having a real hard time believing he's topping Killmonger
Trophycase 04.27.18	Got a fucking 9.2 on IMDB. Give me a break, please.
kris. 04.27.18	"People are calling Thanos the best MCU movie villain and I'm having a real hard time believing he's topping Killmonger" like honestly i fully expected him to be mediocre at best but he's an incredibly sympathetic, fully realized character. the cgi work is fantastic and brolin owns. i'd put him above Killmonger ngl.
JoeTex 04.27.18	ben effleck to star as galactus in the 7th installment
CygnusX1 04.27.18	I thought Killmonger was the best villain in the MCU so far...until Thanos. IW was great, I had lowered my expectations but this movie killed it in every way.
ConcubinaryCode 04.27.18	Fr who dies?
TheSpirit 04.27.18	Yeah Thanos was an amazing villain. He was nuanced, layered, and at some points you’re almost rooting for him over the heroes.
MO 04.27.18	Seeing it tonight should be fun
Rowan5215 04.28.18	I like how Thanos's whole motivation doesn't make sense cos he could like, instantly create infinite resources for every planet and solve the problem lmao shit movie
Trebor. 04.28.18	The movie is very long and messy and the ending is very gimmicky, especially considering how obvious it is that they'll spend the next movie undoing it all Biggest problem is the movie has no story, it's just a series of Thanos trying to get each stone and then trying to stop him and failing Most of the exposition was very clunky as well, like most of the dialogue was great, but the second they start explaining the infinity stones and shit to each other it's like please kill me Very OK movie
Trebor. 04.28.18	Also I can't stand that all the villains are cartoon characters, especially juxtaposed to the Avengers who are 90% non CG, he looks ridiculous next to Gamaro, like why can't it just be Josh Brolin with purple makeup And my god how lame Thanos' underlings are. Do they even have names? or personalities?
Keyblade 04.28.18	the first 2 avengers movies were so wack but this one was fucking sick
MO 04.28.18	Yea it was good. But the weight of everything the movie worked towards, every hard hitting scene caused by thanos was alleviated with that fucking post credits scene. The post credits scene shouldve just been everyone on earth disappearing and thats it. No captain marvel crap
KenboSlice 04.28.18	My nerd boner is at an all time high. I legit never thought they would do the finger snap but they fucking did. I've never seen a theater more quiet as the credits rolled.
TalonsOfFire 04.28.18	I liked how they ended it on a pretty morose note, even the grim Civil War tried to kind of lift your spirit in the last 10 minutes. Like most MCU films this was really good but not without its problems. It was entertaining and had really great sci-fi visuals, but the story did get repetitive and there wasn't much emotional investment or character development cause of how much happens and how fast moving it is. I agree that Thanos's motivation didn't really make sense, but despite that yea he's one of the best Marvel villains and Brolin did a fantastic job. It's a little disappointing though that they will probably just undo it all in next year's Avengers, but I'm sure it'll be good, and shit will go down since Chris Evans said it'll be his last time playing Cap.
Drummerboy123 04.28.18	"I like how Thanos's whole motivation doesn't make sense cos he could like, instantly create infinite resources for every planet and solve the problem lmao" Oh come off it you could be like this for every movie ever made. Sure Thanos could've just used the reality stone and killed everyone rather than fighting them. He could've killed Tony after saying he'd spare him for the Time stone and probably squash any chance of the Avengers winning. He's got the time stone so surely he can see into the future now and know what Dr Strange was planning and prevent it. Jeez he could've just wiped out all the population rather than half. But then you'd have no movie.
KenboSlice 04.28.18	Iron Man's final stand against Thanos is easily one of the best moments in the whole MCU
zaruyache 04.28.18	I rly liked this one, and I was afraid of getting fatigued but guess not :--]
brainmelter 04.28.18	I've been extremely fatigued with super hero movies, they need to finish up already
Trophycase 04.28.18	Stop paying money to see them then
brainmelter 04.28.18	I don't give Disney my money, last marvel movie I saw was iron man 1..
zaruyache 04.28.18	"they need to finish up already" marvel plan on going for at least another 10-20 years lmao
Rowan5215 04.29.18	"Oh come off it you could be like this for every movie ever made." ...no. no you really couldn't, cos not every movie ever made has six glowing MacGuffins that are so powerful they render everything that happens in the movie irrelevant and stupid
Drummerboy123 04.29.18	"...no. no you really couldn't, cos not every movie ever made has six glowing MacGuffins that are so powerful they render everything that happens in the movie irrelevant and stupid" You know there's a 100 movies where you think "This all could've been easier if this character had just done that". Case in point - every single horror movie ever...don't go into the dark clearly fucking evil basement. Yet they do, cuz there needs to be a movie.
Spacesh1p 04.29.18	"holy fucking shit i cannot wait to never see this movie" [2]
Relinquished 04.30.18	“You know there's a 100 movies where you think "This all could've been easier if this character had just done that". Case in point - every single horror movie ever...don't go into the dark clearly fucking evil basement. Yet they do, cuz there needs to be a movie.” thank you. you guys ever think of the same shit in music? “oh they should’ve done this instead”... fuck outta here
Relinquished 04.30.18	“I can't stand that all the villains are cartoon characters, especially juxtaposed to the Avengers who are 90% non CG” you’re fucking kidding me, this shit is off from the comics!
Relinquished 04.30.18	all I got out of the movie were the fight scenes and that the bad guy finally won in the end of one movie. and that was enough for me considering the franchise.
guitarded_chuck 04.30.18	EXPLOSIONS and COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGERY and NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT The blockbuster of the summer has it all!
Relinquished 04.30.18	not like they try sell it as anything different. they know you know they don’t care.
guitarded_chuck 04.30.18	the general population has no taste you are correct my friend
Sinternet 04.30.18	honestly the pnlyone of these superhero movies I can say I've actually enjoyed much over the last few yers is Logan, because it actually does something interesting and isn't cliche as hell
guitarded_chuck 04.30.18	maybe venom will be good but probably not
JeetJeet 04.30.18	"like why can't it just be Josh Brolin with purple makeup" Because that would look dumb as shit
Relinquished 04.30.18	venom as anti hero idkkkk
bloc 04.30.18	I am worried about the new Predator movie now...
guitarded_chuck 04.30.18	what does new predator have to do with this
Space Jester 04.30.18	Thanos is the main character of this movie
Relinquished 04.30.18	easily
bloc 04.30.18	"what does new predator have to do with this" Nothing, I just saw some news about it and was looking for a place to share my thoughts
BigHans 04.30.18	I'm not even much of a fan of these types of movies but that shit was awesome.
KenboSlice 04.30.18	"like why can't it just be Josh Brolin with purple makeup" Because Josh Brolin isn't 9 feet tall and jacked like Thanos. Why don't they paint Mark Ruffalo green?
TalonsOfFire 04.30.18	It was excellent, very well handled given how many characters there were. They were mostly separated and all had great missions / storylines which was the right thing to do. It was the Thanos show overall, and I was impressed with how three-dimensional they made a purple alien monster, and kept his storyline interesting and compelling. I wish there was more of the main Avengers in it, but since basically everyone turned into dust at the end except for them, they'll get more screen time in the next one hopefully.
claygurnz 05.01.18	This movie was fucking fire
Yanari 05.01.18	It definitely was a movie.
MO 05.01.18	"the general population has no taste you are correct my friend" yep this
DoofusWainwright 05.01.18	Only recent Marvel film I really enjoyed was Ragnarok, probably because it was a comedy - a 9/10 Black Panther was alright, at least a few new ideas - 7/10 This wasn't as bad as the previous 'full Marvel' one - but it wasn't all that great either 6/10 I think only three 'low importance' characters 'die for good' in it - it's another cop out There was a brilliant death scene...but they chickened and allowed the main character to live - trying to avoid spoilers. If they'd let that character actually die I would have awarded this film an 8 so powerful that death scene would have been. Shucks Hollywood
neekafat 05.01.18	9/10
cold 05.01.18	Somebody shoutbox me every single spoiler
Keyblade 05.01.18	"the general population has no taste you are correct my friend" its a summer popcorn superhero flick ffs. do we have to be pretentious about movies too
guitarded_chuck 05.01.18	spidermans real identity is peter parker
Papa Universe 05.07.18	late to the party, just watched it. I feel like certain deaths are cop outs, because we already know that they have new movies with those characters coming up. Unless, of course, it's going to be a regrouping and rebranding, which actually sounds like a swell idea. Loved the ending, though.
Papa Universe 05.08.18	aye?
Meridiu5 05.08.18	F*** the ending
Papa Universe 05.08.18	fuck it as in that it was bad or that it was so ballsdropping that you have to exclaim "fuck it"
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	just like a cheesy daytime soap opera the characters die and get brought back to life in the sequel
Papa Universe 05.08.18	that'll be disappointing
DoofusWainwright 05.08.18	When you have so many characters you have to put half of them on ice by turning them into leaves to make a 'proper movie conclusion' feasible
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	its okay to kill them when the whole setting of the thing is pure fantasy and you can write literally anything into the story and its plausible shit genre, if youre older than 12 and enjoy this shit i dont really know what to say to you
DropTune 05.08.18	>shit genre, if youre older than 12 and enjoy this shit i dont really know what to say to you If you've read a single comic in your life, you'd know that's how the genre works. I thought Infinity War was more enjoyable overall than Black Panther. It was intriguing, intense, and had more weight than previous films. Thanos seems like a credible villain for once. People can believe he can and will destroy whoever's in his path in order to get to the top. Great film, one of my favorites from Marvel.
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	>If you've read a single comic in your life, you'd know that's how the genre works. whats your point
Papa Universe 05.08.18	don't mind me, just dropping my ratings for the MCU: Iron Man: 6/10 The Incredible Hulk: 3/10 Iron Man 2: 5/10 Thor: 4/10 The First Avenger: 5/10 The Avengers: 5/10 Iron Man 3: 4/10 The Dark World: 4/10 The Winter Soldier: 5/10 Guardians of the Galaxy: 8/10 Age of Ultron: 5/10 Ant-Man: 5/10 Civil War: 7/10 Doctor Strange: 7/10 Guardians of the Galaxy 2: 7/10 Homecoming: 6/10 Ragnarok: 8/10 Black Panther: 5/10 Infinity War: 8/10
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	I have not seen a single one of those movies. Am I allowed to shit on them anyways because that's how the internet works?
DropTune 05.08.18	My point is that you're arguing something that doesn't matter. No one stays dead in a comic.
Papa Universe 05.08.18	but they could stay dead in the films. man, I would love it, if it turned out that everybody who died in IW actually stayed dead
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	my point was its a shit genre yeah, my point still stands
DropTune 05.08.18	How does that qualify a bad genre?
Papa Universe 05.08.18	perhaps he means that there are no stakes at all, when nobody of relevance can die. what's the point of giving a crap about someone, if you damn well know they're essentially indestructible. that's why I hope, hope, hope that everyone dead in IW will never come back.
DropTune 05.08.18	You really need to read some comic books. You're going to be so disappointed with that thought process.
Papa Universe 05.08.18	so people do die then?
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Just read the Walking Dead comics. So many people die that it's frustrating. "Hey, this character is pretty coo... and they're dead." "Oh, hey, I really like... oh, wait, she's dead."
TalonsOfFire 05.08.18	The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones came around to each subvert that trope of no one important ever dying, but they both take it a little too far at times and the pendulum swung too far in the other direction. Guitarded’s points are why I stopped reading comics a decade ago, when I eventually realized that these stories weren’t leading to any end game. Not that I think they’re all shit, but it’s true that no one ever permanently dies and the storylines are just cycles that don’t actually lead to a real resolution. However, movies are different. TDK trilogy had a real resolution, and I think the MCU will too b/c these actors aren’t gonna play these characters forever. There will be reboots, but TDK trilogy and the MCU will always be there.
Papa Universe 05.08.18	I reada few comics in my life, but none of them were superhero comics. I like them gritty, down-to-earth, harsh, nasty brutes like Fell, Maus and Blacksad. Or from the more goofy ones, Valerian and Asterix (yeah, I'm old, fuck off)
DropTune 05.08.18	I'm not saying you guys are incorrect. There are no lasting consequences in comic books. You can't really "kill off" certain characters. That fact needs to be accepted in order to fully understand how comics work. Logan, for example, separated itself by satisfying the conclusion to the Wolverine arc. He likely won't remain dead, but it did push several cinematic limits of the superhero genre. Conventions and tropes like the ones we're arguing now are always going to stay in place. Characters wont stay dead alongside no lasting consequences.
Prancer 05.08.18	you're watching the wrong movie if you want there to be stakes and real life consequences in Marvel films. the whole fun of it is the actions sequences and the journey/progression of the superheroes, so I guess you're either into it or not.
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Yeh, I never got too into comics, but the few I have aren't superhero comics. I really only have: Preacher the Walking Dead Maus Locke & Key (and I haven't finished that yet) I want to get Chew and Crossed, eventually. But comics are expensive.
DropTune 05.08.18	I was always a sucker for Frank Miller's work. Daredevil, 300, etc. Alan Moore was another I grew up on. Watchmen, V for Vendetta, you know the drill. As far as modern comics go, Tom King is one who I really follow. I also enjoyed Sandman, Constantine, Flash, and a few others. I read too many to name.
DropTune 05.08.18	Chew is pretty good. I know at my local shop it's really popular. I haven't read Crossed. Saga was trendy for a little bit. Haven't seen too much come from it recently.
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	"How does that qualify a bad genre?" qualify lol its a fucking opinion get over it
guitarded_chuck 05.08.18	could ask you how most of your 5s qualify as 5s but ill refrain
gryndstone 05.08.18	why did groot have to die AGAIN
DropTune 05.08.18	Granted, but I look at superhero movies like westerns. They have a formula and stick to it. It will tire over time, but that's a part of the style. Much like horror and comedy films, they have their styles.
unclereich 05.08.18	The last super hero movie i saw was dark knight rises
DropTune 05.08.18	Not a bad film. Certainly not the best, but enjoyable nonetheless. Dark Knight was pure magic. I don't think any film can hold a candle.
