Movies: Avengers : Infinity War

Just saw it today. It was pretty good - unless they find a way to undo the deaths that is, that would be incredibly lame.

We already know that there will be character deaths undone.

Really?

 

[Jussi]

Really?

Because no one really dies in the comics.

That's disappointing, I don't think I'll bother with the next one. Having a dark chapter to the series was really refreshing to me. The events of this movie lose a lot of their meaning imo if they are simply undone.

 

[WTFetus]

Really?

I mean, it's going to involve a ton of time travel. They already leaked things like going back to the setting of Avengers 1 (Captain America's old ridiculous suit), Quicksilver being back, etc.

Going into the theatre and thinking that the deaths WOULDN'T be undone is unbelievably naive.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's because "no one dies in the comics". If you look at Marvel's future release schedule many of these 'dead' characters have future movies in the works. Marvel has shown they can and will kill characters, but they're not going to wipe out half their lineup and cut themselves off from future Black Panther, Spiderman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and so on movies just to have a 'dark' ending. The only reason they could do what they did is because they already have some plot element planned out to reverse it. If they were going to do a permanent 'dark' ending, which could end up happening, they'd just kill off one or two of the big players like Stark or Rogers.

Just watched it (twice) and thought it was really good. Very well done.

Obviously they are going to undo some deaths, the existence of the Infinity Guantlet makes that easy enough (finding it will be the hard part). Undoing what Thanos did would be consistent with the comics. Would be a good way to maybe, possibly, bring in Adam Warlock?

 

[Jussi]

I have a feeling we might see a replay of sorts of the "test" in A4:

 

[Jack Straw]

Also, my guess is that Gamora is trapped inside the soul gem (also happened in the comics).

I kinda thought Guardians 3 would be about them taking the stone back and getting Gamora (A4 ending with Quil taking the stone and leaving)

But I think they want the Guardians trilogy to be its own thing and not too heavily effected by the Avengers movies... idk.

I could see it going that way. G1 dealt with the stones so no reason why G3 shouldn’t. But do we know which comes out first, A4 or G3?

A4 next year, Guardians in 2020.

A4 next year, Guardians in 2020.

That would work then.

We don't know how they will be undone or at what cost.

Seeing the movie on opening night and seeing the crowd react to the credits rolling was pretty special.

Infinity War was just excellent dumb fun. I am looking forward to the next one for sure and I was skeptical as hell with IW (I thought they were going to introduce the celestials).

A4 is gonna be all about the gauntlet methinks, since it was all busted at the end of IW. Maybe they call it the Infinity Gauntlet just to troll comic fans?

As someone who has no idea about what happens in the comics (apart from the odd comment in places like here) I'd think it would have to have something to do with beating Thanos and/or retrieving the gauntlet and using it in reverse. Not sure how convoluted that would get, but the only other option I could think of is time travel and that would be kind of lame.

I just figure if there's this all powerful mcguffin that can instantly turn half the people in the Universe to dust, then that same mcguffin should be powerful enough to turn them from dust back to people again. That's less of a mess than getting into time travel which can just let you retcon pretty much everything, and it leaves some impact from the original movie in that Loki, Gamora (though some of the recent posts here is the first time I've heard of her being 'in' the soul stone), and maybe Vision, dead, plus everything else that got blown up.

The resolution will almost assuredly be weak, resolutions in crowd-pleasers tend to be.

The way the arch ends in the comics is also weak.

Well, it leads into the whole Adam Warlock/Magus/Infinity Watch stuff, which I think is pretty good.

Warlock is a boring character and Infinity Crusade felt like it was wrestling with the issue of introducing something as powerful as the Inifinity Gauntlet/Gems.

I am confident they won't go that route in A4 because that would be way too tacky for the Russos to pull off I think.

Honestly find all the next round characters to be mid teir.

I was always jazzed to see Stark on screen and where his story was going. Captain America, Thor Hulk...were all side kicks to RDJ's Stark. The problem with the next batch of players is that their is no Stark to center the verse off of. They are all "ok" Spiderman, Strange, Black Panther, AntMan...Winter Soldier...but none steal the screen for me the way RDJ did.

Once he's gone, my interest is gonna disappear.

And personally, I hate this Nano tech rubber suit he's wearing. I preferred the look of actual metal armor that got wrecked.

Avengers "How many outcomes did we win?"
Strange "one"


later in movie

Strange _" It had to be done"

I never read the comics either. I kept up with Spiderman but, that was mostly through the daily newspaper comic strip. The other day I'm watching IW at home and I see Thanos at the end sitting on what appears to be Titan. I text my younger Cousin who I thought was really into these comics and asked him why Is Thanos on Titan and is he actually there and used the reality stone to recreate a reality he likes? Why didn't Thanos just use the time stone to back and fix Titan?

His response was it's just a stupid comic book movie and you are over thinking it.

That sounds really dope. I liked how GotG1 dealt directly with a stone the whole movie. It would be cool if GotG3 did too.
