Stormbreaker didn't damage anything but Thanos' chest.
Snapping and using the full power of the gems is what damaged the glove.
Yep. This movie is actually really good for kids to expose em to a non-good ending in storytelling. And its a plot they can understand.
I wish they went for a true double gut punch with the post credit scene.
Clint alone in his farmhouse, surrounded by dust.
Also just wanted to say again. Dr Strange is brilliant in this, Russo's did well by him.

Yes, I agree. Thor has just hit his peak and it'll be an absolute waste if he doesn't get more solo movies. I feel like his character development has been really good overall and I want to see more from him.
I actually don't think Cumberbatch's accent is that bad... And yes I'm American lol. I don't see, or ahem rather hear what's wrong with it. Also I want another Dr. Strange movie ASAP, he went from being whatever to one of my favorite characters in this movie.
Wouldnt be so sure about this, what if Thanos internal is so sturdy that it was antman who got crushed to deathThis is How defeated Thanos
besides what was already said, I think its best to think of Tony Stark/Iron Man as Batman in these films. His super power is being more intelligent, more experienced, better at basically everything superhero compared to the rest. Cap, with all his strength and super powers would have been dead 2 minutes into the Civil War ending fight had Tony not been holding his punches and been trying to kill Bucky the whole time.
Thor explains that he needed a new weapon to be able to kill Thanos and went to the same people that made his hammer.
It wasn't about his potential, it's that he had nothing that could defeat Thanos. His powers alone wouldn't cut it.
Maybe his full potential isn't enough to take down someone who's literally more than a God with the gauntlet. So he needs a Godslayer weapon like Stormbreaker like Eitri says at Nidavellir.
His full potential wasn't enough. We know this because the movie starts with him on his ass.
If I really enjoy a film I'll go more than once.... I've NEVER seen a film 3 times inside a week (talking cinema visits). I watched The Dark Knight a few times within the cinema release (4 times within 2 months or so). Infinity War was very well done, I had to see it again asap. I wasn't going o knock back invites to go watch it again with others.
Thanos existence is to destroy what has been built up to this point.
Because that what forces of nature do.
I like to think of the hammer as training wheels for Thor to control his power, and in Ragnarok he was able to lose the training wheels. The axe makes him stronger than he could be alone.
You want a Serious Spiderman? We need a new outfit for that version of him.
Oh, one of the few other negatives about the film is the same negative for 99% of Marvel films, shit tier soundtrack. The only decent theme is the Avengers theme which they spam periodically. But, besides that it's just a mash of generic hero/action music. I liked when they go to Wakanda and I'm like, "oh right, actual good music does exist somewhere in this universe."
I disagree . I think Alan did an amazing job and the soundtrack had some great stuff in there.
I bet Peter is in Tony's will to take over Stark Enterprises when pepper quits to look after the baby.
I've seen some dumb complaints but saying Tony should've treat Peter like a kid is one of the bigger ones. Just because Peter has powers and then a nano-suit on top of that doesn't mean he's invincible. Starlord took him hostage and Thanos could've squashed him easily. Spider-Man was still severely lacking combat experience against powered individuals back in Civil War against people that weren't trying to kill him and since then he only fought Vulture which he didn't really beat. He's still a liability, he's still a kid, and if push comes to shove, doesn't have the mental fortitude to laying down his life for the cause, at least not yet, evidenced by his dust sequence.
This scene was so good my theatre let out a small silent ooooooo
Also not a fan of the sound track.
At this point these movies deserve something much more memorable.

I should have made it more clear that my post was mostly a response to people saying that Thanos is an understandable and sympathetic villain like Killmonger, and that his actions are somewhat justified.
Like in my mind, there is world of difference between the two character's motivations. And I think people are only saying "Thanos has a point" because Earth has it's own population crisis. But if you actually take a step back, Thanos's plan makes less sense and does not seem at all justified
Right, we see from the opening that his powers alone couldn't do much. Thanos had him DOA.
Alan Silvestri's score is fantastic, with all his new themes and the return of his Avengers theme. But I agree that Marvel once again failed to bring back themes from past movies. The movie score would have been so much better if we had the Doctor Strange theme, and the Spider-Man theme, the Thor theme, the Guardians theme, and Silvestri's own Cap America theme all mingling and playing off each other just like the characters do.
They didn't have good ideas. They had legitimate concerns and somewhat understandable motivations.
Their actual ideas were bad, though lol
Was Dr. Strange handicapped? Or was it more of a "he's still new at this Sorcerer Supreme" thing. Could the Ancient One have subdued Thanos?
I thought Strange was one of the most powerful characters, outside of Celestial beings.
Thanks to the stupid new God of War, I laughed out loud when Thor restarts the Forge and Eitri says "Well done BOY" or something to that effect.
He overcame his emotions for the goal which is the comversation. Doesn't matter that it didn't amount to anything.
Avengers 1 and Ragnarok did so much great stuff with him, I guess I had high hopes for Hulk.
Strange is definitely pretty strong, but on the whole MCU versions of characters are nerfed from their comic counterparts.
He does have a point, it's just his methods of attack are completely fucked up. He's an asshole and deserves to lose, like Killmonger. However, he's also sympathetic because he has pathos, like Killmonger.
I don't know if the score of the movie is as good as Thor Ragnarok but Alan Silvestri manages to evoke a degree of emotional heft in his music that, as far as I'm concerned, has only ever been equaled by Tyler Bates' music in Guardians of the Galaxy. Despite his music falling into fairly standard "orchestral" fare, he uses some stellar motifs throughout the original Avengers movie that give it a lofty yet memorable cinematic feel and it's best exemplified in the Avengers theme.
Infinity War's score also feels incredibly foreboding. The moment they opened up the Marvel Studios logo on that dark little motif that's utilized throughout the movie, even though it's so simple, just stood out and emphasized how eerie and unpredictable Thanos is. And that end credits scene.
This music alone just kills me, every time I think about it I feel like I'm back in the theaters tearing up a little.
If I'd have to rank my favorite MCU scores as of present it's
Thor Ragnarok > Guardians of the Galaxy 1/2 > Avengers > Infinity War > Iron Man > Iron Man 3 > The Winter Soldier > Civil War > The First Avenger > everything else

I see it more like a way to show how strong is stormbraker compared to mijolnir, I think they say when they forged it that it is a kings weapon, like the spear from Odin.
He's still not Sorcerer Supreme, so he's not quite there yet.
