re: Infinity war reaction and SPOILERS thread

Watched it last night and having time to reflect and sleep on it I’m just....

Wow. Shocked and awed. Absolutely brilliant.

The way everyone was handled was great, it truly felt bigger the entire time and they made it work and flow so well. The CGI was next level, and did not take away as it so often does. Thanos is without a doubt the greatest Marvel villain of all time...I think largely due to him being humanized and even sympathetic at times. He was a bad motherfricker, absolutely destroyed Hulk and Thor and took everyone’s best but kept going towards what he truly believed was the best thing and most humane for the universe.

This one had a roller coaster of emotions. Heimdal, Loki, Vision, and especially Gamora and Peter’s deaths were heartbreaking. The humor that Marvel is known for now was there and fit well without being overbearing. The character interactions were great and in such a short time they evolved and seemed learn to trust one another. I was legit shocked at the entire scene with Red Skull and Gamora’s death. Just so well done. After all the theories about the soul stone, none of us guessed that but it exceeded expectations.

Not what I expected for sure, but really came away satisfied. It was like a gut punch when Tony got stabbed and I thought that was it for him. The cavalry moments were some of my favorite. When Cap showed up to help Wanda/Vision, when the Guardians showed up on Titan, and especially when Thor came to Earth. He’s developed into such a badass. Maybe the strongest of the Avengers. Doctor Strange definitely seems the smartest...I think his line while dying confirms why he gave up the time stone. This was the 1 way in 14 million to win in the end and he knows that. We’re now left with the OG team that have to figure out how to get there on their own though. With the addition of Captain Marvel of course. I feel like that’s telling...they will not all make it out alive, perhaps having to trade places with those that are dead now.

I can’t wait to see it again. It was just breathtaking and on first viewing I’d say easily my favorite MCU movie and I would even say the greatest comic book movie, one that really captures the essence of what the comic genre is, ever. Dark Knight is one of the best movies ever in a way like The Godfather is. But this is just everything we love about the universe and medium on screen in a satisfying culmination that I cannot wait to see the conclusion of next year.
Thanos won the Infinity War, but where do we go from here. I feel like truly this is the Empire Strikes Back of the MCU and what was achieved will be talked about for decades to come. Well done Marvel

9.5/10

I think there was a line where Thor said he killed half of the people on his ship, so there is a chance they are still alive. I also think Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) was spotted on set of Avengers 4 so good chance she is in it.

Also, if you notice at the beginning, the Asgardian ship was split in two, and only one half gets blown up. The movie also goes to great lengths to show that Thanos kills half of a population. I think we can safely assume that Korg and Valkyrie were on the other side of the ship and will probably (in the background) lead what's left of Asgard to safety.

if anyone who has already seen it and is interested in watching some scenes over again, there is a surprisingly decent cam version out there

Well, that's why i said if you have already seen it, I don't want to hurt it financially, i know its gonna struggle just to break even.

Why didn’t they just cut Thanos’s arm off when mantis had him “asleep” on Titan?

They’re speaking Chinese and the subtitles are in Japanese, but the video quality is good.

Not that foreign dubbed one, I hope.

It does have foreign subtitles but i dont care about that, they are speaking English, i have already seen the movie. The video/audio quality is good for a cam version

I didnt like how they had 2 of the Black Order get their asses handed to them by Cap, Falcon, and Widow.

I mean i Know its MCU job to make Cap look look like more of a badass in every single movie. So that must be it.
