Curse youuuuuuuu!There was a set pic of Chris Evans eating some M and Ms, so I think they'll play a big role in stopping Thanos.

They are flatly some of the best directors of action in cinema, period.
No shaky nonsense, no quick takes and dizzying shots, just gorgeous, well-staged action sequences that balance scale with visual cohesion.
We can part ways on opinion. But I will say, PLENTY of geeks ARE in the audience that absolutely care how things in this film are handled with respect to how we expect future MCU films will play out. You're arguing with one, haha.
The Red Skull reveal was the biggest surprise for me because it's the only that never once entered my imagination as something that would happen in this movie. It also got one of the biggest reactions in my crowd. One guy in front just literally yelled "WHAT THE FUCK!"One thing, though. The reviews and early reactions had a lot or comments about "don't spoil yourself" "there's huge stuff you'll be shocked by" "they're doing something I've never seen before" or whatever. I think they almost got me over hyped. With the exception of Red Skull (which was actually sort of weird) there weren't a ton of huge shocks.
Probably because I follow this stuff too closely, though. I wanna try knowing less about Avengers 4 next year. (So please don't talk about set pics in here anymore?)
also Civil War started this thought for me but I think now we can all agree that the Russo Brothers use superhero powers better than anything else I've ever seen in a comic book movie. the way they hone in on each characters' individual powers and find cool ways to do different things with them and then also combine different characters' powers together is just amazing.
The way they track the effect everything is having on the larger fights as a whole and how terrain is affected and everything might be the actual biggest accomplishment of this movie. This is the most its ever felt like a bunch of superheroes were actually fighting with diverse powers in the same space and not just sort of engaged in parallel fights that don't intersect
It wasn't instantaneous though, and seeing yourself turn to ash would at least qualify as extreme mental duress.

[SPOILER="Speculation based on IG comic and things from there this film sets up"Ni'm guessing Nebula needs to survive for them to win and whatever other action they took would result in key players, especially Nebula, being dead. As for killing Thanos and taking the gauntlet, I imagine any effort to do so would have woken him up sooner.[/SPOILER]I just don't see how. They could have killed him then and there and had the glove after. Just seemed like one of those silly parts in a movie where no one thought about the context of the scene having such an easy solution.
Amen to all this. Man I really need to see it again to refresh on all this good team-up stuff
Also how can we forget Bucky spinning around with Rocket and then the whole "How much for the arm?" bit
Hulk got some serious character assassnation. How you gonna turn him into such a cowardly bitch?
Red Skull was played by Ross Marquand from The Walking Dead... and he's apparently good at doing impressions.
They've shown Beta Ray exists already, so why not
He looked weak and hurt when he smiled in his shack.Are we sure Thanos is wounded from the hit Thor got on him with the Stormbreaker? It seems to me that Thanos is in a good state and was healed by the snap.
Good fucking morning Godda........I mean Destiny awaits..
But um yeah. Just watched it. Felt nothing as expected. Just burnt out on the superhero thing now.
Will say it was very well done and everybody was given decent amounts of screen time. Didn't expect strange to be Starks foil, but it kinda did work. I feel that to the casual viewer though, Dr strange had not been throughly explained enough in terms of power levels. Especially loved that the crimson bands of cytorakk made an appearance

Loved the new stark suit, really felt like they were finally playing with the character rather than retreading old suits.
Never understood the red skull thing. I thought he only used the tesseract?
Still hate the iron spider suit, but I'll be honest and say the original maybe wouldn't of worked as well visually.
Not enough Cap. Black Panther and Spider-Man are so sure to be back it's like they didn't even go.

She didn't
the only thing stronger than a fully powered up Infinity Gauntlet is Donkey Kong trying to get his bananas back
I wish they had sort of figured out some on-screen show of power for the Soul Stone, but maybe we'll get that in the next movie
*movie shows the outcome of Thanos attacking Thor's ship*My headcanon, until proven otherwise, is that she and Korg helped a group of survivors make it outta there.

It is the reason. Did the hulk not say that he was scared? At least something similar.Anyone else feel the reason the Hulk won't come out is because of how hard Thanos beat his ass at the outset?
The Hulk persona seems to have a very adolescent mentality and is easily riled, becoming petulant and sullen.
Also, I loved that scene. It was a great way to demonstrate how Thanos is operating on an entirely different power level.
'Let him have his fun.'
Exactly and now you know Hulk is going to have a big moment in 4.Anyone else feel the reason the Hulk won't come out is because of how hard Thanos beat his ass at the outset?

I really dont get this not having an impact thing.Just got back from watching it, thought it was fantastic and Thanos is great, in my top 3 marvel movies for sure. My biggest gripe with the film is the fact that Guardians 3, Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2 and Spiderman 2 have already been confirmed so the impact of them all dying in this is pretty much gone when you know that they will be back after the next film.
Sorcerer fuckin' Supreme.There is something really great about the scene where Strange transforms one attack into something harmless and Thanos reacts so realistically, it's those small moments that really make him believable.
I feel like Marvel trolled black people in this movie. Like yeah lets wipe the main character of your highest selling MCU film lol. Also the Black guy dying first.
I'm mainly salty about BP getting wiped. Jesus take Rhodes instead. This does go down as the best comic book movie of all time right now. I literally don't know how I'm even going to enjoy Antman 2.
star lord didnt ruin anything. Strange already knows its going to happen.
"this suit is really intuitive" isnt good enough for you?
