Finally saw it today (**** this spring with a bulldozer).
****ing amazing. Just Jesus ****ing Christ amazing. There are some problems, but my Christ what they managed to pull off. I kind of agree with Professor Hulk quibbles. Especially in contrast with NO MORE STAIRS Hulk. I have no issue with Time travel paradoxes that were created. Not a single **** was given. FWIW, my WIFE of all people was like, "A little over the top with the woman power stuff?" I didn't care. I didn't even particularly notice. As an aside though, this has retired a tremendous amount of star power, and frankly a ton of what draws me to the theater. I've said all along that Marvel has earned the rope to hang themselves with, but I don't see anyone except the GotG crew that really draws me in. We'll see, and I'll still watch, but damn Evans, RDJ, and Hemsworth were ****ing good. Quote:

Just to add to that last post, while Evans and RDJ are done, good chance Hemsworth is not.

Marvel Comix and Godzilla movies where my whole childhood. Both films look to have the ability to make you a kid again. A reviewer for Godzilla said "It was like 8 year old me snorted a mountain of coke and went to the toy store..." What a great summer for flicks...:) |
I’m sure this already has been posted but...
Go to Google and search for Thanos. And then click on the Infinity Gauntlet on the right. |

Then came the battle between Michael Eisner and Roy Disney that almost killed them. Sad thing was....Michael Eisner probably saved Disney. From 1984 to 1997 he raised their revenues from $1.65B to $22B and took its market values from $2B to $67B. But in the beginning of the 2000's saw the start of the fall....Their theme park attendance dipped post 9/11 and with a bad economy their TV holdings saw too much of a revenue drop. But something else was a big factor in Disney's fall in that time period....first there was Frank Well's death in the helicopter crash in 1994. He was the President of Disney at the time.....after his death, Eisner would fire Jeffrey Katzenberg who was credited with the growth of Disney's animation boom during that time. Katzenberg then partnered with David Geffen and Steven Spielberg to create Dreamworks, which never really produced much of a threat to Disney. But the big hit to Disney's bottom line was the lawsuit by Katzenberg whose contract was built by Frank Wells. Disney could have just settled it for $90MM but fought it and that move cost them $270MM, not counting the legal fees. Add to that Eisner's hiring of Michael Ovitz to replace Katzenberg, which failed after about a year and a half. And that parting cost Disney $140MM. Those are just the bigger issues that almost killed Disney. |
Damn near perfect movie.
When Hawkeye lost his family it hurt. |
I actually fist pumped when Cap picked up the hammer. Kick ass.

Damn you Nat. ****. That sticks with a guy. |
I literally didn't care one bit when Black Widow died. Her and Hawkeye just take up valuable screen time.

That entire climactic battle was nothing more than a comic book brought to life. Just amazing. |
Saw Infinity War again and it makes for some interesting questions for Endgame.
Stormbreaker was probably the most powerful weapon in the galaxy in Infinity War. It seemingly overpowered all stones from the gauntlet and went into Thanos chest. But yet in Endgame it seems ordinary against Thanos without any stones. Idk that didn’t jive with me. Thor should have easily beaten Thanos despite being fat. |

But yeah, it seemed they didn't want deus ex Stormbreaker in this movie. |
I'm pretty sure the Russos have said that Thanos was just taken off guard and still not taking any threat seriously (like he had been doing the whole movie). The infinity gauntlet with all six stones is easily the most powerful "weapon" we've seen in the MCU. Not even Stormbreaker could overpower it if used correctly.
My personal head canon is that fat, depressed Thor was a nerf but I'm not sure it's been confirmed by the Russo brothers. |
