Narwhal missed that little detail.

My favorite part of this is where the 12-year-old little sister to Black Panther schools Bruce Banner and Tony Stark on Vision’s Inifinity Stone, which she saw literally 30 seconds before telling Bruce exactly what needs to be done and that they conveniently have the resources and expertise to do this thing that she just made up on the spot. Boys are smelly let’s throw rocks at them.

Sadly cultural Marxism is so pervasive, inundating every form of media and entertainment that the only escape is to simply turn off everything. Some guys don’t even realize they have been subtly brainwashed by this stuff. Once you tune it out for a while and then get exposure again it becomes so obvious, so overwhelming its hard to believe people willingly swallow the crap.

I was told that in this dog of a flick my Namesake is reduced to “tour-guide”. I think I’m going to puke.

I did apparently. It most certainly put women as more capable and brave then they actually are, as all movies do, but I didn’t see this as more than typical. Whatever.

Ok. Then do it.

OH Dear God! That is what they want you to do—passively accept it, and say oh well so what. Once you accept it passively the next step is advocacy. I’m trying not to be critical. I’m trying to bang the pots and pans as a warning.

This movie was badass.

I love how it started off with the teaser from Thor Ragnarok.

Also, Thanos is a complete badass.

I can’t wait till they release a movie with my boy Galactus…

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

Yes and no. I mean to say that I recognize some of it, some of it p~~~es me off and others is just silly. I surely miss a lot of it too. That doesn’t mean that I let it effect how I see the real world though. You assume that watching something on screen means that you’re swallowing it.

At the same time, as you pointed out, it is everywhere. Which means you can’t see any good without seeing the bad as well.

That’s not to say that I don’t have my limits. The last star wars movie was horrid. I won’t see it again, and my kids will have to convince me to spend another dime on any other star wars movie again.

Ok. Then do it.

Relax. I am far far away from advocacy. I can completely tell the difference from fantasy and reality. If watching a movie with some feminist themes in causes you to become a feminist, then playing violent video games causes you to go on a shooting spree. I don’t think either is true.

Ok. Then do it.

but I was fully expecting there to be a Deus Ex moment right up until he got the Time Stone and it set in that there was nothing going to stop him. I wasn’t expecting Strange to just bend over and submit.

I’m not gonna spoil it for you, but the Series: Infinity Gauntlet will explain what is gonna happen in the upcoming sequel.

Just know that Dr. Strange is a complete, and utter badass…

Thor too

Zero feminist s~~~? You mean like how the weeminz were all “bad ass” butt kickers and the men were too busy getting their faces stomped in? That feminist s~~~?

Also, Black Panther dies but his female general and almost all of the strong bald black female faces on the Wakanda military front lines survive, while most of the men (already sparse in the lineup) turn into ash.

Hulk turns into a cowardly vagina who refuses to go rage mode, Thor gets his fudge pounded, then has to watch his brother get his fudge pounded, then has to watch his Avengers get their fudge pounded, after watching Dinklage get his fudge pounded, only to come back and ALMOST injure Thanos, only to get his fudge pounded again.

Scarlet Witch saves basically everyone because magic that isn’t really understood or explained in scope, she manages to explode Vision, but then Thanos f~~~s that up because (as was mentioned) Strange voluntarily did the one thing he said he wasn’t going to do because “it’s the only way.” Strange could have…I dunno…trapped Thanos in a time loop like he did Dormammu, but apparently Marvel has poor memory. Strange is upstaged by Squidward despite being Sorcerer Supreme and having a glowing green rock that controls time.

Drax gets the s~~~ kicked out of him, Groot decides to be a moody teenager for the entire film, Vision is pussy whipped despite being a f~~~ing android, Tony decides he wants a kid with an obviously menopausal Pepper (Gwyneth is well over 50 isn’t she?).

Oh, and Quill gets into a p~~~ing contest with Thor as his entire crew reduces him to a fat joke.

Exactly none of the men were actually model “men” in this film (Thor came close thanks to not having Natalie Portman’s baggage). But it was still enjoyable in that I think it did a pretty good job subverting Marvel tropes and expectations. It kept the plot moving by having a wide array of B-plots that separated the cast of dozens into something like 5 smaller groups. But the “girl power” and “men suck” tropes were pretty front and center.

All excellent points. Good to see you picked up on that other stuff as well.

Off to see it again on Thursday – not often I see a film twice in the cinema but have to see this again (doing 2D this time so no messing around with those stupid 3D glasses)

[WarloccParticipant 204]

You can tell who here is a fan of the comics and who here is just angry at everything, among the others…

I really liked it, too. Not enough to see it in theater again, but I’ll definitely be getting the DVD and I’m looking forward to the followup.

I do agree that the Hulk thing didn’t make much sense.

Back in the comics, both Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock were capable of using the Infinity Gauntlet and stopping Thanos. I’m a little disappointed that they’re going with Captain Marvel over Adam Warlock though, since I feel like he is overall a better character, but whatever. Still a good movie.

Also… I’m not so sure I’d count out Loki, and definitely don’t count out the people that were vaporized- especially Dr Strange.

If you paid attention, Strange manipulated the whole thing. Dude’s got something planned.

I recently saw the film. The film is really good.

As many others said. After ten years of building up the hype, the MCU production cast and crew hit it out of the part with this film.

This film by the numbers might be the best sci-fi movie ever.

Plot, acting, directions, call backs, flashbacks, special effects, cinematography, and music. All were top notch.

The film borrowed a lot from the Star Wars movies in a good way. This was like Empire Strikes Back and Wrath of Khan, together, times ten.

Josh Brolin should receive an academy award for his role as Thanos. He nailed the role. He captured Thanos completely. That being Thanos is a driven, but conflicted and tragic character. For all his monstrous, there is a person underneath. You pity him more than hate.

After this, I look forward to Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2, which should be out in a little over a week.

There is so much awesome in this film. The heroes were on the ball. The plot weaved itself well. And the villains. While Thanos was at the top, Lucasfilm take notes. The Black Order is how you do Sith Lords RIGHT! And Thanos’ army was a proper zerg rush.

Yes. Starlord was an idiot. You know the scene I am talking about. But, we already knew Starlord was an idiot and the reasons for his actions are understandable.

The only mild annoyance was that MCU still did not have Dr. Doom, so he could cameo in the film.

Edit. It seems that was a cameo of the Red Skull. The plot used Red Skull in an interesting way in this film.

Finally, the ending, before the credit. Speechless.

The post credit scenes were not good for the Avengers.

I was shocked at that ending! He said to Stark once he is finished he will sit and look at the sunset. Then after he has used the Gauntlet you see him just sitting looking at the sunset with a smile on his face and then the credits roll….never seen anything like it.

Really looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow

I don’t watch any of this stuff. If I do, it was $2 from Redbox.

what happened to Titan after no one agreed to cull the population (everyone dies instead).

Isn’t this similar to the entire plot of The Watchmen? A necessary evil to bring peace or to avoid worse? Sounds like a rip off script…

Again, I’m not into any of these Xmen or Avenger movies but The Watchmen was basically the only thing I thought was pretty good because it was rated R. I do not like PG13 crap. I want to see t~~~ and I want the plot to be mature.

[Gravel PitParticipant]

Maybe I need to go see this one.

I know its trite but I like seeing t~~~ in a movie. Its not even a sexual thing, its just like a standard that makes a movie better for me. Even if its just wet t-shirt nips, that’s okay.

You look at Ridley Scott movies, always a pair of titties. Whatever happens you can count on that, or something close. Prometheus didn’t have any so he made up for it in Covenant. Would of been nice to see Vicker’s or Shaw’s nips.

[Jim01Participant 6678]

Watched it again last night and probably enjoyed it more….could go again but won’t because I don’t want overkill

Shame Antman 2 looks like it is going to go Mad Max Fury Road but that film is going to feel a bit meh after IW anyway

Yeah, the next couple Marvel movies are going to struggle to live up to what Infinity War just did.

People seem to be criticizing Starlord for losing his temper, and Dr Strange for giving up the time stone.

All of it was necessary. Dr Strange has this. He looked at 16 million possible future outcomes and there is only ONE outcome where things turn out OK.

And that outcome is where Starlord f~~~s up the attempt to take Thanos’ gauntlet and where Dr Strange hands over the time stone.

Ya’ll are playing tic-tac-toe. Dr Strange is playing 4-dimensional chess. He already knows what is going to happen in the future; that is why he did what he did, and why he had no f~~~s to give when he disintegrated.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

Yeah spoke about that after watching it – I just think a lot of people forgot about Strange doing that. Tbh I did until my mate reminded me and then it all made sense

Strange is def playing 4D chess
