re: Infinity war reaction and SPOILERS thread

If Spiderman, one of the three most popular super heroes of all time, telling Tony "i'm not ready to go yet Mr. Stark" doesn't give you the feels, then you've either got no heart, or you simply didn't care one iota about this movie and this saga that's been going on.

It's ok to admit as a man that you have feelings.


bruh everyone knows that they're coming back. come on.

I chose to live in the moment rather than watch the movie knowing the commercial side of things. Certainly caught the feels for a second. Great stories draw you into those moments and I applaud the director for his ability to wrap all of the characters up into a compelling movie.

Maybe they get the gauntlet off, then Thanos kills them all anyway and takes it back.
Strange saw 14 million futures, with only 1 good one, pretty sure he knows what he's doing.

---

Yeah, plus I think the only Avenger there capable of destroying Thanos is Strange himself. Thanos is just on another level.

do you honestly not see the difference in why Spiderman's "death" (even though we know he's coming back) was a lot more emotional than Superman's "death"?

---

The only difference in Spider-Man's death and the other temporary deaths in IW was that Spider-Man's spider-sense seemed to give him a precognition and a few more moments of fear (and time to vocalize it to Iron Man). We're still dealing with a film with a time resetting machine and a character that has already been announced to appear in future films.

I really don't care if you hate Superman or Cavill or Snyder or whatever. The Superman character died a heroic death in BvS and this board's main dismissal of that moment was that Superman was obviously coming back from that death. IW is a great superhero movie, but its temporary deaths are as transparent as in any other superhero movie or comic that uses that trope.

I felt Thanos didn't use the stones as much as he could have

---

I think in the comics, Thanos didn't know the true extent of the Infinity Stones at first. Mesphesto showed Thanos just how powerful the stones really were. Afterwards, Thanos became pretty much a god.

Also, how would Cap take a punch from Thanos with the gauntlet?

---

When it comes to team superhero films or comics, the power levels of the characters rise and fall to fit the needs of the story. That's why Vision and Wanda were taken down so easily yet the guys who took them down are beaten away by less powered heroes like Cap and Black Widow.

Black Panther, the character, is great. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m glad I didn’t waste my money seeing it in a theater, because I can’t understand half the shite the Wakandans were saying. Captioning will be a must.

What was so heroic about it? All he's doing is fighting the fricking cave troll from Lord of the Rings. Seriously, why should I care? That movie gave me no reason to give a single frick. IW (and the MCU in general) gives you reasons to care for these characters and even the villain in this case. What was Lex Luthor trying to do in BvS? I really can't tell you or why he would create Doomsday. Thanos I understood exactly what he was going for almost throughout the entirety of the film.

I went in fully expecting Steve to bite it, and although I was relieved that he and Tony both made it, I'm afraid that that only guarantees that both of them die in AVNG4.

I agree with Carson, it didn't hit me much because I know they're all coming back. Just last week they announced Spideys sequel, and how he'll be traveling all over the world in the new film. So why should I care about his death?

---

the deaths of heimdall and loki are more impactful bc they're probably real. vision is done as well, but mehh.

gamora is coming back.

well that and he really hadn't be established himself as a beloved hero yet. The world hated him or didn't trust him, but then once he died the world was suddenly in a state of mourning.
