It's so hard watching Pepper Potts and realizing that after Tony's passing she goes crazy and uses her inheritance to start a pseudoscience company for women to rub crystals and vag candles on themselves.
Everybody found Thor calling Groot “Tree” funny because it makes Thor look stupid since Groot constantly says his name. *I* find it funny because Thor *speaks* Groot, which means that surely Groot’s name, in the context of his own language, is in fact Tree. That’s fucking hilarious.
Or the rest calls him Groot because that’s what he always says, while Thor, knowing the language and, does not assume it’s his name and calls him what he looks like, just like with rabbit, which is: a tree!
I think he does, to an extent - "Squidward" being one example. Can't say for sure, since I won't be watching the rest of this video until after I've seen IW.
When Tony looks at his own hand as if hoping it would disintegrate any moment so that he could be released from this...his absolute worst nightmare come true...that is soul crushing.
Fox Of Shadilay which is kind of the opposite of what happens with scarlet witch. She’s so wrapped up in the pain of losing vision that she doesn’t realize what’s happening around her until she herself, starts to disintegrate....which she welcomes by looking up in a “thank god” manner.
The parallel of the vision from AoU of Tony holding Steve to IW of Tony holding Peter. It is his worst nightmare, especially because Peter and Steve have a lot in common.
No,he did it because marvel fanboys would give him more views and he already bit the bullet and crucified potential monetization money by *NOT* sucking the new Star Wars movies dick.Not that hard to understand.
thunder cleez He actually got more views for crapping all over The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. The videos that tear them to shreds tend to be more popular than the ones that don’t. And did he get a huge backlash for his Black Panther review? No, he did not, even though myself and many other people disagree with him. Why can’t you just accept that he gave his honest opinion of the movie?
I'll never forget sitting in the theater when the end credits started to roll. No one spoke. No one moved. Everyone just sat there in silence trying to process the impact of the hero's loss.
Agreed. In my Cinema the morose atmosphere was deafening. The room was like a funeral, but at the same time I could sense the strange air of satisfaction from everyone, like we were all glad to be miserable. I remember as we left our seats I heard a mother reassuring her daughter that she wasn't going to disappear. I've never seen a movie impact an audience the way Infinity War did. It truly felt like I was part of an event, something huge. It was a unique experience, one I doubt I'll ever have to fortune to undergo again. and I'll probably cherise that memory forever because of it.
Hah, my girlfriend at the time and I were having a fight the day we went and saw it and boy were we NOT happy afterwards. I don't know what I expected.
You know what's great? When you mentioned in your review how Gamora hated to see the throne, so Thanos takes a seat on the steps. I've seen the movie twice, and missed the little, but hugely impactful moments like that one... and it brought a smile to my face. Well done.
Still I think the line with the most weight behind it comes from Steve Rogers: "oh god." It is the last line in the whole film and vocalizes exactly what everyone in the theater was thinking, all coming from the man whose signature line is "I can do this all day."
Every character that fades away did not react. Except for spiderman ... because he saw it comming. It is kind of cruel that the youngest member of the avengers is the only one with a way to see what is comming. His spidersense. While everyone around him faded away, his sense basically told him "You will die. You can not avoid this." Over and over again for his final moments.
@@paulosantana9607 he knew he could be brought back, but it was actual death. Also with only 1 of all the futures he saw bringing victory in the end there is an extremely high chance that they would fail.
@@NTTofMistery Yeah I meant to say that he knew it wasn't permadeath. Truly, Spidey sensors wouldn't freak out if it wasn't death. About the second part. When I thought about this, when Endgame released, I came to the conclusion that he was 100% sure that when they died they were already in the right course, as everything past that point couldn't be altered by his actions anymore. The only thing he could screw up past that point was potentially not finding everyone or not managing to remember Tony about that one chance thing. (Coming to think about it, it's still pretty easy to fuck everything to the hell lol). So I thought, rather than going mad, he should be relieved when it happened. Actually, I thought he was supposed to be nervous when they were fighting against Thanos before that, as it was a more immediate concern and the slightest mistake would certainly screw everything. I would suggest that this is when he showed us an iron-could and emotionless heart with a perfect execution of the steps needed to get us to the victory, but maybe I'm stretching it too far xDD
I hate going to the theatre but that moment when the screen said “Thanos will return”... the silence in that room was an amazing experience. Everyone was just in shock.
Seeing Infinity War in theaters was an experience I will never forget. The utter silence and stillness at the end was unlike any other. That is what really made this movie for me. There were so many great moments, but none as powerful and as moving as the final moments of the movie.
It wasn't shock, it was the notion that we have to come back and pay to sit through another stupid overdone lame looking CG shit fest with boring story and shitty character development. This movie is a lot like Last Jedi, but people fail to see it, 'cause everyone is in love with all this Marvel shlock.
@Christian Santamaria That's what he's saying. They mismanaged the character so badly that a side character with less total screen-time than her has more character growth (and character in general) than a character who got their own movie.
The most gut wrenching part of Spiderman's death is that, for the most part, nobody is aware they are about to turn to dust. It's sudden, painless and inevitable, but Peter, because of his Spider sense, is fully aware he is going to die, unlike everybody else, his legs fail not due to injury but the incredible fear of the premonition of his death
I mean there’s an actual real world explanation based on the fact that Tom Holland can’t keep a secret BUUUUUT what you said is an excellent in world explanation and what I had thought was the entire idea the scene was based around when I saw it the first time.
@@alyssasowell774 simply put they didn’t trust that Tom holland wouldn’t spoil the fact Spider-Man dies or that Thanos “wins” because he had let slip some spoilers earlier so they didn’t tell him until the scene happened and then they just told him to act like he was dying in order to prevent him letting anything significant slip.
Troa Barton at the end of the day, what Star Wars needed was a Feige, someone to keep everything moving toward a particular goal, that kept everything organized and someone that understands that when telling stories, giving audiences what they need is more important than giving them what they might want in that instance
If there's one thing I despise in stories, it's not honoring the material that came before it. Star Wars, Jurassic Park...but this. This is why Marvel succeeds. This is why Infinity War is amazing to comic readers and non-readers alike. They honour their material. They honour their characters. And they use it to write a great story.
@@wubwubdododo5656 I would have loved if they found a way to squeeze in the rivalry between Thanos and Deadpool for the love of Mistress Death. Otherwise, I feel they did a fine job writing Thanos and his motives.
i understand the feeling, but we need to get in our head that the build to the last story is over and the power escalation that came with it is gone also. they are building to something new now and its a very slow build. it feels like 2 stories starting, a space one and an earth street level hero one and the street level stuff is what we feel has missing something. the build is happening but we cant see all the pieces yet. kang is gonna be really big but the introduction on a show was the wrong move. not everyone even has Disney+. that's a problem. by the time avengers 1 came out only comic book geeks myself included knew what was happening, when casuals caught on thats when it became big like it was always building but thats not the case.
@@MrOnboard no because we've had like 4 separate multiverse stories with different rules within 6 or 7 different films. There seems to be no singular focus to what Dr Strange Movie and Loki and No Way Home Movie had at all, as far as multiverses, DESPITE them ALL talking about multiverses...
what i enjoy is how we see Spider-Man still explore his power, we can see that his spidey sense is slowly improving throughout the story and ironically it results in him sensing his own death mere seconds before it happens.
"This guy is from space, he is here to steal a necklace from a wizard." That pretty much sums up every reason why I love the MCU. They just do not care how absurd it sounds, they go all-in.
That is just storytelling. Beautiful, empathetic, insightful, organic storytelling. And Corvo, f off. The line, and style of the line, is completely consistent with his character. Nothing to do with Joss Whedon. That's just in your head, and too bad for you.
@@wisetrollman also it was in the plan to do that for the avengers to actually win. As dr strange could have easily stopped him from doing anything drastic but yet allowed him to completley lose it and fuck everything up.
Mauler: uses footage from multiple marvel movies Anyone else: uses 2 seconds of background music and gets copyrighted TheFatRat: gets his own song copyrighted
When Loki gets teary eyed watching Thanos torture Thor and Gamora looking away as Nebula is being tortured are these great details I appreciated because in their heart they can’t stand to see this happen to their siblings even though their relationship is shaky at best.
classic submarine guy I too find pleasure in pain, come, shall we decimate some prepubescent children with an unstoppable barrage of cyber bullying anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic and liberal hate speech?
Thanos watching Gamora plummet all the way down the cliff, then wince as she hits, is another bit of brilliantly subtle acting that stood out to me. The animator(s) who pushed those pixels around deserve a gold star, and maybe a yacht.
The most heartcrushing moment was when Tony wipes his hands casually of Peter's ashes, only to realize, in horror, what he is wiping away. Such an innate, human reaction, perfect encapsulating Tony slowly processing what just happened, and his brain catching up to the horror of what he now has to deal with.
The complete contrast with Disney Star Wars, revealed heavily in your editing, is that Infinity wars has *absolute* respect and integration with the lore and world building that came before it. It really is the true spiritual capstone to the entire MCU (up to this point) *without* taking any cheap shortcuts or retcons. It doesn't just avoid retcons, it doesn't just recall minor details from the former movies, but even amplifies their meaning and significance. It's sincere, authentic, and beautiful.
One could argue that Thor: Ragnarok was a retcon, but it earned that retcon. Even then, it's more of a soft reboot since _Thor and Thor: Dark World are still relevant to the plot._
@@azgardian32odinson What are you talking about? It shows a ton of respect and knowledge about Marvel Comics. The Sakaar Contest of Champions was based on Planet Hulk, it turned Thor from your average B list superhero into one of the most well received, there are plenty of callbacks to _The Incredible Hulk_ (2008) even if very few people would get them, and it revitalized the character of Thor for Chris Hemsworth. Chris specifically said that despite his contract with Marvel ending, he'd be more than happy to play Thor in _Love and Thunder_ based on the new life Taika breathed into him. To me, that shows not only a remarkable amount of respect for the character but also the actor.
@@skittybug6937 wrong! It was a watered down planet hulk... and it shows respect to iron man and cap, but hulk didnt even defeat thor on his own.. he had help (LOL the god of thunder defeated by a taser 🙄)which begs the questions did hulk even defeat those other aliens on his own(ragnarok)... also other than avengers 1.. when has Hulk WON a 1v1?... go ahead I'll wait... he lost to the hulk buster.. and I couldn't give a pint of mousse piss if banner helped stark create veronica... WHY DO THEY NEED HULK OF THE HULK BUSTER CAN STOP HIM!.. also hulk doesnt have a healing factor? He gets NO REDEMPTION WHAT SO EVER! Hulk is left with arm burned in a sling... the hulk is in a sling.... ok I can agree/ conceade to that ragnarok is a good arc for thor... but thor is no B list hero are you nuts? Do you even know how stupidly powerful thor is 😂😂😂 ragnarok should of been thors power anyways, well only he's not really thor now, he's far to comedic.. he's just like star lord but less funny... heck they even made him fat.. the god of thunder.. an entire 180 on who thor is... he is a warrior at heart and cannot help it, he just seeks revenge, there is no way.. not a single incarnation of thor where he would be self indulgent of self pity, the moment he found out there was a way to save the universe and go back in time and rectify his mistake... there'd be no stopping thor... simple as that... and by now the arc thor has come full circle and should be ready to be KING OF ASGARD... LOL what does he do? Give it to a deserted and traitors valkyrie 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 who hasn't done anything to inherit the throne heck she's not even a child of Odin ffs... why couldn't she of gone off and reformed the valkyries🙄 they've absolutely butchered the 2 most powerful characters in the universe and for what?.. ... when hulk finds out that black widow is dead the best he could do was throw a bench 🙄 are we serious?... he gets burned by a gauntlet that emits mostly gamma 🙄😂😂 I can bet you now they'll kill off the incredible hulk and replace him with she-hulk and she'll be insanely powerful... another thing why is banner so afraid of letting out the hulk?.. veronica can stop him, thor can stop him, scarlett witch can stop him.. I could go on and on
Same use of the verb "to be" as in "I think, therefore I am". Drax poses a philosophical question on the metaphysics of Gamora as a tactical diversion.
@@dansaunders1655 dude. I don't know who you are, but it is 1:30 where I live and you just made me laugh my fucking ass off with that comment and this stranger needed that. Thank you
Watching this in 2023 is literally painful, both mentally and even physically. How is it possible we went from this level of writing to where we are now? They put so much work and attention to this movie, capturing nature and characteristics of sooo many characters, while in the follow ups (putting No Way Home aside of course) they cannot properly capture a nature of a single character, no matter how easy it would be. It is truly astonishing...
Peter's death hit me hard when I first saw it, yet somehow your explanation of his relationship with Tony made it all the more touching for me. I even shed a couple of tears as you showed it to us again. Thank you, dearly
Plot Twist: The Marvel Universe becomes Dragon Ball Z and the dead characters have adventures in the afterlife while the living characters gather the infinity stones to wish upon Stan Lee to bring them back to life.
What I really loved about this movie is how powerful the Black Order was portrayed. They weren’t just some named enemies that the heroes take out with ease before the big fight. They were actually dangerous, like mini bosses in a way, with each member taking multiple heroes fighting them at once to take each out. It really showed how out of their depth the heroes were the entire movie.
Agree only what would be even greater is that Maw didn't die in space but had a life safing suit and got a help then went to titan just when quill beat thanos but mantis kept him under controll and just as they take the gauntlet maw comes and fight all.of them.and end up dying in thanos's hands as he is relieved of manthis and drax control. That would.make him even a better villain just after he lost gamora he lost his best man
I only wish they existed in the greater marvel canon. We could've had maw be thanos' spokesman as far back as avengers (instead of weird four thumb guy), teasing the power that thanos commands.
MiniatureMasterClass After the Farce Engorges, I was expecting the next one to be a shit show, and somehow it managed to be even worse than what I was expecting.
I'm 49....and i still remember how I felt while sitting in a theater at the end of Empire Strikes Back. It was a feeling of real loss, a feeling that my heroes aren't always perfect, and that sometimes...the bad guys win....that not all heroes are capable of saving the day. This was the first film since then that I felt that way again. I can't say enough about how awesome this movie is...I've now watched it at least 30 times, and It STILL slaps for me. That scene between Tony and Peter STILL connects, the love between Gamora and Thanos, Gamora and Quill or the despair that Dr Strange feels when he knows the End Game and gives up the stone so Tony can later save the world and put his ego on hold long enough to sacrifice everything to save the universe and bring everyone back, while simultaneously killing himself. Its a god damn masterpiece
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 Dude, really? Drax comes from a culture of people who are entirely literal, he doesn't care if what he says does or does not sound gay, he's aware thor is handsome, because by anyone's standards he is, that doesn't mean he wants to suck him off?
remember the scene in homecoming after peter failed to save the boat and iron man gives the speech about "and if you die, I feel like thats on me"? Peter replies "Im sorry" and tony says "sorry doesnt cut it". Fast forward to the end of infinity war and peter's last words to tony are "Im sorry"
love the way you incorporate clips from previous films to flesh out your points. It's what I was doing mentally while watching Infinity War in the theater, but seeing Tony and Peter hug/bicker from Civil War and Homecoming really sells it...and conjures up all the feelz haha. Your Last Jedi assault/documentary was amazing, made me sure I wasn't "taking crazy pills" over how massive a fuck up that movie was, this unbridled praise is just as rad. Keep killing it sir.
Sacrifice for the greater good is a theme of this film. The heroes were unwilling to sacrifice Vision to destroy the stone and in their greed in trying to remove it first failed. Star Lord was unwilling to complete the mission and get the glove off without finding out what happened to Gamorra and failed. Thor was unwilling to make a deathblow so he could gloat at his revenge and failed. Thanos on the other hand was willing to do whatever it takes including kill the only thing he loved and won.
Phil V Dr Strange was also unwilling to try and destroy the timestone due to his duty to protect the eye of agomoto. He couldn't sacrifice it, so he lost
GabrielReed yeah and on a side note I also like how Thanos told strange that he didn't use his greatest weapon Doctor Strange totally could have just use the time Stone on Thanos to reverse his age into a baby and beat him just as Thanos did to the runner in the infinity War comic book
Phil V That might have happened in one of those 14 million other futures. Strange wasn't going to try anything that he didn't know would lead them to a 100% guaranteed victory
We will have to wait and see how things play out in the next one. No doubt the heroes wanted to do the right thing and that may not have been the right thing. They didn't want to sacrifice and they paid a price for it in the end. Thanos did horrible things, killed a lot of people just to get the stones, and was willing to sacrifice for his goals. But could also say the biggest issue was a lack of unity. The Avengers were scattered. Sure they sort of came together, but only after Tony was off in space. There was a need for everyone who could stand together to do so. But they lacked a unified will. Thanos had that focused will and everyone serving him shared that unified will.
Phil V I agree. I thought the same thing at each of those moments. If they had only been willing to act, knowing they'd save many more lives by sacrificing the one, they could've been victorious. It's the selfish part of love that I didn't like and really revealed their weakness. It's unfortunate but that is what war is. Putting the lives of the many over the few, otherwise everyone dies anyway. The good guys blew it repeatedly in favor of their feelings.
In Guardians of the Galaxy 1, the prison scene reveals Gamora is the last of her race, revealing that Thanos was wrong. Her whole planet went extinct somehow anyway.
Rasmus Gantriis abut Nebula made it clear that Thanos isn’t a liar remember in endgame when they thought he was lying about destroying the stones but Nebula said he’s many things but a liar isn’t one of them. It’s either a minor plot hole or just proof that Thanos’s plan would’ve never worked
Just the fact that after the ending everyone was in the theater still and one kid with tears asks his dad, - Is Spiderman really dead? Thanos won? And his dad answered - Yes, Thanos won, Is when I realized, this movie really rocks, they fucking made and amazing subversive story and they exceeded all expectations.
@@originated712 Well said. Internet grammar nazis piss me off. Also, not everyone is a native english speaker so why tf would you expect them to write everything perfectly.
Honestly it's a great movie that is funny with interesting and diverse characters that does jump around alot that ends in a grim and dark way with most of the cast whiped out This is what last Jedi could have been and what infinity war does perfectly
Am I the only one who accidentally watched this entire video all the way through because I was so interested by the commentary only to realize afterwards that I had just sat here for an entire hour watching a video on a movie I had seen a month ago? Great video, by the way.
This movie, and End Game, prove that Tony is the protagonist of the MCU. Steve is my favorite character, Thor has been transformed from a fairly thin but sometimes neat character to a deep, well thought out character. But all of that pales to Tony and his journey.
Really? Why? Outside of his parents (at an early age) what loss did he have to deal with except his arrogance? Thor did that too, along with losing literally EVERYTHING HE'D EVER LOVED along the way. Thor also grew more (later devolved) than he did. I really don't understand what people mean when they say 'Tony's journey.' What I really think they mean is he went from billionaire playboy genius who wants to protect the world to billionaire married genius who wants to protect the world....yeah wow...what an arc. Outside of the panic attacks (oh jeez what a psychological dive that was) his attitude did not change even remotely between 10 minutes into Iron Man 1 and End Game. He was probably the most static character in the entire first half of the MCU. Sorry but, let's be objective.
Dar Sure he went from weapons dealing, god-complex having, lone wolf, still not over his parents death, selfish jerk to a leader, tried to be a peace maker, realized his own hubris (while also accomplishing in a night what people spend a life trying, time travel) and being humbled, team player, processed his grief, and sacrificed himself for the good of the universe. Besides, even the smallest thing can be a good arc. An obese person cutting out soda for a month and losing 5 lbs could be a good arc if the writer did it well.
@@Anon-qp3kt Wrong. He got his ass handed to him enough times to finally put his arrogance *slightly* in check. That is not 'a totally different person.' And if you think Tony in Iron Man 1 wouldn't have died to save the universe I don't know what character you've been watching this whole time. His altruism was never in question, nor was his patriotism or intellect.
I actually really liked hearing your positive voice for over 50 minutes. When it's just the negative voice you start to wonder what aspects to a narrative would make someone smile, and i've think you've done very well to portray what in your eyes would make a story much stronger. I think this actually adds to your credibility when it comes to all of your reviews/rants/praisings, knowing that your opinion can swing in all ways, as long as some boxes get ticked or not (the complex, well-written villain is an important one for me as well). It also makes you look more human. Bonus points for that.
when i hear you speak, i dont see a human, i see a couward babling nonsense, seem like you mistaken improvement for stupidity. i dont care about the group of idiots you satisfied, they cant explore anything on their own, its really irritating to spoon fed them constantly and to listen to their demand. you on the other hand, is a path way to innovation, well at least in the past, you simply didnt have enough mental campacity to endure ‘it’, so you decided to turn into a coward, you decided to not swim anymore and just stay there and let the wirlpool swallow you, you mow supporting the to devolution. i guess the criticism ends here, at least it was good when it last. and no, dont reply to me with thoose unworthy and idiotic words. if you dont want to be an idiot, then prove yourself. make a critique, if you have any idea left.
The difference between Infinity War and SW:TLJ is absolutely striking. One seeks to tell an amazing and complicated story using an over the top setting with fantastic dialog and visuals building upon everything that has happened before while the other seeks to show off great scenes with zero regard for the story or history of the setting. The amount of resources put behind these two films are similar yet IW is clearly far better than TLJ in every conceivable way.
@@wisetrollman If you're gonna make claims that Marvel fans are a joke, and imply that there is no good dialogue in Marvel movies, you need to supply a metric crap-ton of evidence to support your claims. Also, it's pretty ironic given that Marvel is *dominating* DC at the box office, and you have the balls to say that we're a joke. If it has anything to do with us getting excited over objectively good movies that we've grown up with, then you need to wake up and realize that we at least have good movies and characters to get excited over.
It's painful watching this in 2022 and knowing where it would end up and how the MCU would fall from grace and arguably it all started with fat Thor...
There isn't anything wrong with Fat Thor as a concept, the issue is that it was played as a joke instead of taken seriously. A Thor who has given up after losing everything and even feeling like he was the one person who had the highest chance of success is *good.* It's a genuinely good idea for the way to push him. The issue is that every time he's on screen he's being used as the setup to a punchline. Fat Thor shouldn't be funny, he should be *sad.* It should be heartbreaking whenever he's on screen, trying to stay detached because he feels like he failed everyone. Korg and Meek shouldn't even be gaming in his house. Korg should be more like the friend that actively checks on him to make sure he's at least hasn't hurt himself. It's the same with Professor Hulk - we should have gotten a short scene showing him forcefully merging himself with Hulk. And he should have been a lot more of a serious character, still prone to some degree of rage. Literally the only time we see that anger come out of him is when he chucks a bench into the lake out of anger over Black Widow's death as well as his friends arguing over it. If there was a time to give him more good screentime it was during the last fight.
@@ApexGale The problem with fat Thor agreed is fundamentally one of execution, but the premise itself is questionable I'm equally not sure that a reclusive boarder line self harming Thor would of worked either although I understand the premise far more than turning him into a joke. But to me both feel out of character with the guy who walked away from Thanos corpse muttering, 'I went for the head' that's far more a man who has decided mercy is a weakness and gone down a vengeful reckless path. I can see why they didn't, it's very similar to Clints arc but they could of executed it very differently, Thor becoming a militaristic and ruthless king, obsessed with the preservation of his remaining people above all else, after all did Norway willingly accept the Asgardians or did the god of Thunder simply give them no choice. I had less issue with Professor Hulk cop-out though it was, since it swept Hulk hiding in Banner under the rug and just sort of handwaved it, but I can sort of understand it, the handwaving does save a fair bit of time on convincing Hulk to cooperate with the 2nd snap and actually making it work as planned. But doing it all off screen is a bit cheap. My real issue with Hulk is far more Infinity war having him take one beating and hiding in Banner, a personification of rage, hiding... that's really out of character, Hulk becoming more aggressive, less controllable and nearer the surface seems far more in character and would also of provided a better motivation for Banner to merge the two into Professor Hulk as his last option to try and control the monster
Jesus, dude. Your video made me tear up toward the end haha. Your attention to detail regarding the characters was astounding. This is by far one of my favorite takes on Infinity War on UA-cam. Also, I appreciate you using the low quality footage instead of re-cutting clips from trailers and whatnot. Everyone else does the latter (and understandably so), but I really enjoy seeing/hearing the parts of the movie when you're talking about it.
Ditto..when you went into Tony's realization of his worse fear coming true and Spider man falling into his arms as he 'flaked' away from existence...hit right in the feels. The way you narrate, WOW. I was not only impressed but I could almost feel what the characters felt just through your video. Probly one of the best videos on youtube Ive watched in a long while.
Loved the wrap up at the end, but i had to skip through the first 2/3rds because it was just a plot synopsis witt no commentary added. That part was super boring with no opinions added in
Cuz it's ambiguous and unforgettable, when the enemy wins, you NEVER forget and that happens in real life, to fail after trying so hard to stop something you had limited knowledge of is heartbreaking This is why doing this in movies is powerful, breaking the status quo sends the message that heroes don't win all the time
I liked your previous Unbridled Rage videos because they laid down hard truths about why those film were bad. I love this video because it lays down truth about why Infinity War is an amazing film and an accomplishment. Please make more Unbridled Praise videos so we can recognize and appreciate wonderful films. I would much rather hear your earnest praise for something you love rather than for something you hate. I am by no means saying to stop making Unbridled Rage videos. Those videos are great for learning from mistakes, an analysis of what a film got wrong so its blunders will not be repeated. It is, however, even more important to remember when films do get right so we can take its successes and incorporate them in other form of media or even in our everyday lives. We should be able to recognize and celebrate the tremendous accomplishments of a great film, an experience so many worked for and so many others were moved by. It is the sad truth that both bad and good things will always exist in the world, but I hope we can focus more on the positive to be inspired and then aspire to be something greater.
Damn dude I don't really cry that often. I didn't even cry in the theater when watching the movie. This video however brought me to tears. the way you explain everything with that powerful voice of yours was nothing but a joy to watch. Your breakdown of this movie simultaneously broke down my emotional walls. Amazing dude, Amazing!!!
The way he broke down the Vision and Wanda arc... god damn. The majority of their love life was off screen, yet when the scene appeared with that beautiful soundtrack... i broke. It still hit me like a fucking train.
Same.. It helped that he added connections from the entire MCU franchise and the feels weren't continuously cut off by jokes and actually let you feel the weight of each moment.
Why does no one talks about wanda's death scene. The acting of that was so fucking insane. She literally acted the feeling of sweet relase of death caused by losing the love of your life. Fucking hell i cant watch that scene anymore.
Even though I appreciate the hell out of the entertainment with both vitriol and now praise, I stick around for the analytical depth. Taking things that I wouldn't have noticed, nor understood unless pointed out and then placed out in front of me plainly. I find it educational and I walk away feeling like I know more about something I enjoy rather than just solely being mindlessly entertained. Thanks, MauLer. Your videos are the ones I most look forward too.
-Respect chars that were build in previous movies -Continue the story that was built in previous movies -Make the villain that everyone fears in previous movies be actually worth their fear *Verdict:* Infinity War is Literally the opposite of The Last Jedi
Sapphire Jack Infinity War is as bad as the last Jedi > Both have SJW themes > nonsensical villains with poorly fleshed out motives (Thanos was just turned into Ares/Ozymandias/Ras Al Ghul/Sam Jackson from Kingsmen) Malthusian Economics is wrong and has been debunked for over a hundred years now This movie doesn’t respect the characters at all, hell it kills off all but one of the black guys
+Little Fav >Complains that Infinity War had SJW themes >Goes on to complain that it didn't respect its characters because it killed all but one black characters Seems legit.
The MCU Earth is very similar to ours. Memes, shows, video games and other stuff exists in those worlds. Many events and political stuff exists as well. The main difference are superheroes, technology, other supernatural events and aliens. So MCU earth is very similar to ours other than he Sci fi stuff
The amount of anxiety and then relief I felt when I saw the thumbnail and the beginning of unbridled and then followed by praise was very hilarious and worrying tbh.
"They understand the characters they are tasked to write for, but most importantly they respect them *images of Luke drinking green alien tiddy milk*.... " Yup, wish there'd be as much dedication in the Sequels..
@@melanoc3tusii205 mmm I don’t think you can compare a character eating a chicken on a plate to gracelessly squeezing green liquid out of a slug monsters tit, then drinking it while it flows down your beard like a deranged homeless man
@@Greigames Dude's isolated on an island for countless years without human contact. Of course he's not going to fucking stick out his pinky finger. Probably not in the best mental health either, given his situation, though perhaps the force mitigates that to some degree. When stranded, you eat whatever you can find, or you starve. You don't give a shit if your reliable source of nutrition is from a slug - what real difference does it make?
Your vitriolic hatred CAN be very entertaining, but I definitely felt better seeing a vast wave of appreciation and praise, focusing on the positives of a huge endeavor.
@@thundercleez7699 Im a fanboy and I dont even read the comics and I only watch ALMOST all Marvel movies and suspect that every Marvel movie will be good and I still respect many criticisms about my favorite stuff so as long the reasons are not dumb and they respect other opinions.
The pirate metaphor is even better because of what Helya (Sp?) tells us about how Asgard became so fantastically wealthy. Odin literally plundered the 9 realms.
Criticism is necessary for works that don't live up to their potential. But it's also important to celebrate works that do. This kind of content can show directors and writers that fans can be pleased. It's the carrot (that isn't wads of Disney money) to the negative feedback's stick.
I keep thinking it must be nostalgia that biases people towards this view. Infinity War was unprecedentedly stupid. It might be the stupidest film committed to cinema. Thanos' villian arc is silly and his motivation is the most nonsensical in cinematic history. Thor overpowers a FULL gauntlet (with universally omnipotent power) with a star axe. It's laughably bad.
@@davidhaddad9022 Did you really come in here and spit out a shitty opinion and not expect people to call you out? Let go of your ego, buddy. Nobody cares what you think.
I know I’m late, but think about it like this: Doctor Strange said and did nothing while Peter was losing his cool. For the time being, it’s very obvious that whatever would have happened, had Peter not hit Thanos, it would have been worse for them in the long run, than what did end up happening. But who knows, the next film could completely contradict this. We’ll have to wait and see.
Spencer Whiteway true that, and Strange must have seen the future up to when Thor impales Thanos in the chest and not the head, so he could have prevented that and used the time stone to go to that moment, and tell Thor to aim for the head while time is frozen, yet he didn’t. Hence why all the failure is part of Strange’s plan.
SSJRadioBluth Right. Maybe Dr. Strange saw all of that coming and Quill was supposed to hit Thanos in the face as part of their one chance. Maybe in the alternative timelines where they successfully pull off Thano's gauntlet, they still fail because Thanos somehow manages to get the gauntlet back. Thanos is a really strong character even without any infinity stones. Think about it, he has the baseline strength to hold an infinity stone in his other hand without getting hurt at all. When a normal mortal does that they get rekt. Basically, I think Dr. Strange planned for all of this to happen as it did.
I loved the insight you gave on Quill bursting out in anger (29:20) In a way it was very frustrating and almost seemed like a poor writing moment. Having a character fault be an undoing for the sake of having a fault, but it's a theme we see in our heroes, their humanity. I loved how you didn't just harken back to Quill's previous outburst, but pointed out the connection Tony also had to the outburst back in Civil War. It just goes to show that the Russo Brother's really appreciated the material they were given and stewarded it with care.
Very much like with Drax on Knowhere. Wanting to hurt and kill Thanos to avenge his family despite Quill trying to stop him. Even though the stakes were high because they thought Thanos hadn't collected the soul stone yet. The MCU loves its parallels.
Every friend I've talked to about Infinity War has said they hate Peter Quill now because of what he did. But that's what made him my absolute favorite person in the entire MCU. It's utterly human.
The fact that Tony reacts to Quill before he does anything is absolutely brilliant. He knows better than anyone what happens when you let emotions and personal experience get the best of you and he sees it in Quill immediately. Just...perfect.
Sorry to double dip but at the end you asked if this was as good or better than "roasting" movies only. I think your essay on Infinity was creative ,on point and helped me appriciate this movie on a deeper level. I cried again watching Spiderman die and how Ironman must face the uncharted grief he finds himself in. Well done sir, highest marks. If the movie deserves praise we need to hear about that as well as the dregs. The Last Jedi tried subverted expectations and failed to my dismay but Infinity could teach a master class on the subject.
alaster boneman "well except say.... anything. Im a one dimensional, insane, dumb villain what do i care about you people? I destroyed your home and forced you to kill your sister over and over and over. I dont even know why i did THIS i couldve done so much more but yeah it took evrything"
Alberts Choise it was ment to be a joke, and also you assume that I'm advercating for thanos. And while I might joke about thanos I don't agree with his senterment. As it is fairly clear that for all his convictions that "this is the only way" that he didn't look all that hard for alternatives like for example creating more resources, fixing the environment of the planets with in the universe that his solution is a bad aid not a cast. It's clear that Thanos has convinced himself that he and he alone is correct that he and he alone has the will to carry this out. That like all Villans save perhaps the self aware ones he believes himself the hero of his own story.
honestly, if just a couple people would have "chewed into their molar" they would have stopped him. namely gamorra with her sister, wanda killing vision for the mind stone, eitri (who could have been like "nah, brah) when asked to make the guantlet
Pistol Pete so your solution is for the hero's to become murders and not even try to find other ways to stop Thanos other than letting the people they care about be killed or mutilated. To become the very thing they hate and fight against. That's not a solution. Because that's the very thing Thanos dose to spread his solution. Thanos believes what he is doing is right, that it is a ugly horrible thing that needs doing. But not once not once has he consided that there are better options. He gave up looking /trying to find a better way. If he ever looked in the first place. The hero's have refused to walk that path. To allow suffering and carnage to be their first port of call. They chose to do the right thing. And they failed, but is it not better to fail while trying to do the right thing rather that success at doing the wrong thing? For Wanda to kill the man she loves ? For Gamra to watch her sister be mutilated again after a life time of turning a blind eye and not considering Nova's well being?
alaster boneman but the thing is ... it is a better way. One or two people is better than half of the universe. The best example of this being done logically is Spock in star trek: wrath of Khan. And, no, failing to save half the earth is still failing to save half the universe. Someone is going to have to "pick up the bill," and vision realized this.
Damn. I'm still tearing up at just a summary of the closing Spiderman scene.... Also note that when Thanos was dragging Gamora to the cliff, he was doing it just like a parent drags a child throwing a tantrum.
I and some other people at cinema laughed, cause build up was good, but Tom Holland's face before fading and the look was just awful. Like a poker face, when you said something stupid and want others to believe it. Nevertheless good movie, great summery of all previous entries. Why didn't Thanos ask for endless resources tho? Was it really that necessary to discipline galaxy through loss of someone close? :)
Edit: Sorry for calling the Sanctum Sanctorum, Kamar-Taj, my bad! Hello there! Here it is folks, some of you have been wondering when this was going to be uploaded. Well, I got done with the 9th version this morning and am now happy with it. "An Unbridled Praise" is meant to be a series where I do the opposite of rage at a film. Instead of taking only the negatives and assessing the plot in a biased manner, I am celebrating the film by talking about it's positives in a biased manner, this will give me an outlet for the great and terrible movies of our planet and potentially games down the line. My critique series' will always be where I attempt to be objective in assessing quality but here, i wanted to gush over Marvel and share my knowledge of the content, I wanted to really give them a pat on the back for doing something amazing and hell, it's nice to have a positive video for once right? Please, let me know what you think about this as an idea for future videos on the channel and thank you for watching the video, il see yah next time. o/
MauLer Unfortunately I've missed most Marvel movies so I have no clue what's going on 😂. But I hope others enjoy it! Sounds like an awesome series to do. Glad you and many others liked it. Can't wait for Marvel to dwarf Star Wars numbers post-TLJ. Going to be delicious.
MauLer - I like the idea of an "Unbridled Praise" series, personally. Not only does it protect you from your detractors using the "you just hate everything!" bs excuse but it is also just good for giving us perspective on films you enjoy vs the ones you don't. On a separate topic, do you think you might at some point in the future make a video specifically on the subject of objectivity vs subjectivity in media and/or film? I just feel like it might be a good and interesting video topic where you can provide clarity on your stance while using various examples from films, etc.
I've never had an experience like when I first watched Infinity War. The dread and excitement throughout the entire film was incredible, and watching my little sister break down when she saw the heroes she loved fall to dust in front of her was something I never could've imagined. What a film.
I love the shot of spiderman after getting knighted. You can see he's proud of acheiving his goal but then immediatly worried about the meaning of that responsability
I wouldn't say he is worried about that responsibility. It is more so that he is taking that responsibility seriously, because he is in a serious situation.
I had a comment simply about your title, but realized it was ignorant of your fanbase. With that in mind I will say this from experience. The negative critiques will get you views, the positive critiques will get you fans. Leave the positive critiques for the few and outstanding pieces of work you want to hold up on a pedestal, and you will never go wrong. P.S. Trust in your own critiques. You very clearly understand the structure behind story telling and have the experience to back it up. Keep up the good work.
It didn't fail financially but it failed on many other levels,another terrible cgi army to fight? They did that in the 1st avenger and the second avengers...wow,really breaking the mold.Not to mention you finally get your first component villain (a purple cgi alien) and suddenly it's the reincarnation of the dark knight joker? Laughable to say the least.
thunder cleez someone is salty that this movie did really well. Critics and people all over the world really like this movie. It has flaws. Thanos is good in his own right. Joker from the dark knight is good in his own right. They are both great movies. The Cgi in this movie was really good, compared to something like Justice League. Thanos, looked and sounded real. Obviously you couldn’t do that with costumes. They did a great job. Flaws yes. But the fact that you can’t say one positive thing about this movie. Means one thing. You are a DC fanboy who is salty. I love marvel and some of DC. But damn dude. This is a Cinematic achievement, combining everything they done in the last 10 years together. I hope they remember you. Because after you die. Nobody will.
thunder cleez Loki, thanos, and Killmonger. Are all great villains from the MCU. There are good ones or decent ones. But those are the best 3. I love the dark knight as a movie. Joker is easily one of the best Villains out there. But you are only talking about 1 movie. It’s hard to compare Thanos and joker. You are in really naïve. Stop being salty that the MCU is successful and the DCEU isn’t. This movie was a success. Your opinion is just hate. Maybe if you would back it up with some positive feedback, then your opinion would make sense.
thunder cleez how the HELL IS THANOS A HEATH LEDGER JOKER KNOCKOFF!? Also the CGI enemies weren’t even the main focus in the fights, most of the fights had Thanos in them.
I REALLY appreciated that you called Nidavellir a foundry. As a bladesmith, when I saw that Giant Tyrion was casting metal (instead of forging it), it really broke my heart. Because, when it comes to weapons of war, casting is NOT an advanced technique. We could have had a really cool scene where someone (Groot, Thor) was holding onto a superhot metal block, while Eitri forged it into shape, using his fist as a hammer. If Nidavellir is home to a forge, forge something! Why are you CASTING it? Is it a bell? Is it a cast-iron skillet? Or is it a King's weapon? Cheers, great video mate.
As an aspiring blacksmith, I didn't really object to the casting of Stormbreaker, simply because casting weapons has been done, historically. Would a scene as you've described it have been incredibly epic? Yes. Yes it would have, and the wannabe blacksmith in me shed a few tears that it wasn't so, lol. But if being advanced is key, then Nidavellir could just as easily have been a big CNC machine, shaving Stormbreaker into shape, like how an Albion blade is made. We also wouldn't have gotten the 'Thor holds open the door to a star' scene, because the hammering of the axe into shape would have taken a *shitload* longer than just melting the ingots of Uru, and he would probably have died long before they had an axe-shaped hunk of metal. Besides; casting fell out of use because the properties and impurities of iron don't make it ideal to cast weapons, but iron made significantly stronger weapons than bronze, and so supplanted it. Uru may be entirely different, like a significantly stronger bronze, and so casting is simply the faster, less laborious method.
40:38 I just realized. Quill, when he chose to shoot gamora, resonated with thanos. Thanos recognizes that quill is will to make the hardest choice to save the universe, just like he did to get the soul stone. Amazing movie
37:57 I always wondered why I didn't have a problem with Thanos loving Gamora. Turns out it's because the movie does the work to lay the idea in your head, to make sure Thanos shows it.
It is because that absolute scariest villain is someone who actually thinks they are right, thinks they are the good guy. It is one of the reasons why old 90s movies were so great, that while the villains mustache twirling over the top, they were usually presented as wanting something good (like world peace), just with them as the king. Thanos always though of himself as the good guy, so why wouldn't he also have a daughter he loves.
I personally couldn't make sense of it and thought that his "love" is a part of his distorted perception of himself and reality. I am no expert on psychology, and because he is fictional he won't follow all the rules, but from what I can tell, she is primarily a tool to him, so I thought he was incapable of love. And only felt the lose because he was that convinced of his own bs, that he loves her. Idk
@@ThreadBareHope1234he found genuine love for his foster daughter, the film literally laid the ground work to show the difference between a tool nebula, and a daughter he genuinely loves gamora
I became a really big fan of your work when you came out with your rant against the Last Jedi, and I shared your anger about that film. I especially enjoyed your analytical break down of the film and the reasons as to why it was bad. I often link friends to it that want a more precise understanding as to why I hated that movie. Your current video about the Avengers is spot on, and I do love that you spoke about all of the things that made this film work. Although, like yourself, I am admittedly biased when it comes to this franchise. That being said, I still liked the video and it’s tonal shift from previous videos. Keep up the awesome job
@Skyler Duchesne.. I'm pretty sure he's trolling with all that "praise" especially at the end of the video.. I originally graded Infinity war a C -. The film isn't great or terrible. But it's leaning one way.
Mauler I think your analysis, particularly of writing, is excellent and I think hearing you commend good writing is just as entertaining as criticism of bad writing. I enjoy both and hope you continue with both. Keep it up man
@@ibrahimkalmati9379 Curious what your take is because it’s also one of my favorite comic book movies. It certainly has its issues but I loved it. Did you dislike it or thought it was eh?
@@ibrahimkalmati9379 I enjoyed Endgame but IMO it was gradually worse than Infinity War. I look at the Avengers movies as the OG Star Wars trilogy. Avengers 1 is A New Hope, a fast and simple but at the same time very entertaining movie that provides a great story and characters. Avengers Infinity War is Empire Strikes Back, the crowning jewel of both franchises that’s keeps the adrenaline running while providing strong development to its heroes and villain. Endgame is Jedi, very dramatic albeit a little sloppily scripted and poorly paced that does amazing things with some characters and does things with others I don’t like. Age of Ultron is the holiday special. It’s not nearly as bad but it came right after New Hope and was much worse
Of all the characters, Drax has the greatest arc in the movie.
In the beginning, he fails to turn invisible. But by the end, he completely disappears.
Wow. That hurts bro

Everybody found Thor calling Groot “Tree” funny because it makes Thor look stupid since Groot constantly says his name.
*I* find it funny because Thor *speaks* Groot, which means that surely Groot’s name, in the context of his own language, is in fact Tree. That’s fucking hilarious.
omg you're right! you just blew my mind
Haha true, I haven’t thought of it 🤣
Maybe he calls him tree because groot and his kind are offshoots of yggdrasil
Or the rest calls him Groot because that’s what he always says, while Thor, knowing the language and, does not assume it’s his name and calls him what he looks like, just like with rabbit, which is: a tree!
Wow, interesting :))
You know MauLer likes it when he uses actual character names.
You know, I was somewhat hoping that he'd use some more fake names even though this is a praise video :P
I think he does, to an extent - "Squidward" being one example. Can't say for sure, since I won't be watching the rest of this video until after I've seen IW.
#AsianShrek :P
Squidward is what Iron Man calls Ebony Maw.
And Tyrion lol
When Tony looks at his own hand as if hoping it would disintegrate any moment so that he could be released from this...his absolute worst nightmare come true...that is soul crushing.
Fox Of Shadilay which is kind of the opposite of what happens with scarlet witch. She’s so wrapped up in the pain of losing vision that she doesn’t realize what’s happening around her until she herself, starts to disintegrate....which she welcomes by looking up in a “thank god” manner.
The parallel of the vision from AoU of Tony holding Steve to IW of Tony holding Peter. It is his worst nightmare, especially because Peter and Steve have a lot in common.
@Fisher Theo I don't think he showed it.
@Fisher Theo Unless the OP meant this scene here 48:06
Yeah it's that scene. I didn't watch the whole video.
Fox Of Shadilay what a reach lmao
He decided to praise the movie instead of criticizing it so that his channel would be perfectly balanced.
Joseph Noonan as all things should be
No,he did it because marvel fanboys would give him more views and he already bit the bullet and crucified potential monetization money by *NOT* sucking the new Star Wars movies dick.Not that hard to understand.
thunder cleez He actually got more views for crapping all over The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. The videos that tear them to shreds tend to be more popular than the ones that don’t. And did he get a huge backlash for his Black Panther review? No, he did not, even though myself and many other people disagree with him. Why can’t you just accept that he gave his honest opinion of the movie?
thunder cleez and besides, he still heavily criticized black panther....
Edit: ok, Broncos4life already wrote it, my bad😅
He's creating Balance like Thanos tried to do.
I love how most of this "unbridled praise" is just Mauler explaining the script, because it's that good and speaks for itself.
Uhhh I guess?
I'll never forget sitting in the theater when the end credits started to roll. No one spoke. No one moved. Everyone just sat there in silence trying to process the impact of the hero's loss.
Agreed. In my Cinema the morose atmosphere was deafening. The room was like a funeral, but at the same time I could sense the strange air of satisfaction from everyone, like we were all glad to be miserable. I remember as we left our seats I heard a mother reassuring her daughter that she wasn't going to disappear. I've never seen a movie impact an audience the way Infinity War did. It truly felt like I was part of an event, something huge. It was a unique experience, one I doubt I'll ever have to fortune to undergo again. and I'll probably cherise that memory forever because of it.
First time coming in my mind "i must watch dozen of youtube video breakdown and prediction what happen next"
Hah, my girlfriend at the time and I were having a fight the day we went and saw it and boy were we NOT happy afterwards. I don't know what I expected.
I get you but for me I was excited for part 2. It kind of spoiled that everyone is coming back. I didn't get that feeling of loss with our heros
I was absolutely fucking bawling. Both in happiness and sadness for what I had just witnessed. I am WAY to emotionally invested in this franchise
"We see Iron Man blow Squidward out into space"
I must not have remembered the Nickelodeon arc
@Guardian Wtf?
No joke.i was scrolling comments while listening to the video, and the narrator said this quote

@@gattlinggolduck6373 That guy is mad because rose forgot about the ark
You know what's great? When you mentioned in your review how Gamora hated to see the throne, so Thanos takes a seat on the steps. I've seen the movie twice, and missed the little, but hugely impactful moments like that one... and it brought a smile to my face. Well done.
Speedy Gunz
Yeah, it made Thanos an even more interesting character to me.
If you watch Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Thanos favored Gamora over Nebula. IW connected to the plot with that point.
Still I think the line with the most weight behind it comes from Steve Rogers: "oh god." It is the last line in the whole film and vocalizes exactly what everyone in the theater was thinking, all coming from the man whose signature line is "I can do this all day."
That's my favorite part of the film. So much weight.
@@plumbussmithok
Every character that fades away did not react. Except for spiderman ... because he saw it comming. It is kind of cruel that the youngest member of the avengers is the only one with a way to see what is comming. His spidersense. While everyone around him faded away, his sense basically told him "You will die. You can not avoid this." Over and over again for his final moments.
doctor strange also knew he would die, afterall he saw 14 million futures with only 1 way to win
@@NTTofMistery But he knew it wasn't actually death
@@paulosantana9607 he knew he could be brought back, but it was actual death. Also with only 1 of all the futures he saw bringing victory in the end there is an extremely high chance that they would fail.
@@NTTofMistery Yeah I meant to say that he knew it wasn't permadeath. Truly, Spidey sensors wouldn't freak out if it wasn't death. About the second part. When I thought about this, when Endgame released, I came to the conclusion that he was 100% sure that when they died they were already in the right course, as everything past that point couldn't be altered by his actions anymore. The only thing he could screw up past that point was potentially not finding everyone or not managing to remember Tony about that one chance thing. (Coming to think about it, it's still pretty easy to fuck everything to the hell lol).
So I thought, rather than going mad, he should be relieved when it happened. Actually, I thought he was supposed to be nervous when they were fighting against Thanos before that, as it was a more immediate concern and the slightest mistake would certainly screw everything. I would suggest that this is when he showed us an iron-could and emotionless heart with a perfect execution of the steps needed to get us to the victory, but maybe I'm stretching it too far xDD
You will die. You can not avoid this.
I hate going to the theatre but that moment when the screen said “Thanos will return”... the silence in that room was an amazing experience. Everyone was just in shock.
I Am Groot you just gotta find one of those fancy theaters where they serve you margaritas at your seat.
Seeing Infinity War in theaters was an experience I will never forget. The utter silence and stillness at the end was unlike any other. That is what really made this movie for me. There were so many great moments, but none as powerful and as moving as the final moments of the movie.
It wasn't shock, it was the notion that we have to come back and pay to sit through another stupid overdone lame looking CG shit fest with boring story and shitty character development. This movie is a lot like Last Jedi, but people fail to see it, 'cause everyone is in love with all this Marvel shlock.
M Oczakow or maybe this movie is actually better than the last jedi? i don't know, a lot of things just seem to be done right here.
It was the first film i've seen where everyone was in complete silence after the ending.
Crazy that Rhodey, War machine, has more character and growth than captain marvel and she has a movie
@Christian Santamaria That's what he's saying. They mismanaged the character so badly that a side character with less total screen-time than her has more character growth (and character in general) than a character who got their own movie.

The most gut wrenching part of Spiderman's death is that, for the most part, nobody is aware they are about to turn to dust. It's sudden, painless and inevitable, but Peter, because of his Spider sense, is fully aware he is going to die, unlike everybody else, his legs fail not due to injury but the incredible fear of the premonition of his death

The MCU is something completely different from the Star Wars saga.

It used to be so good. Now it’s just dead. At least we got one really good amazing finale.
i understand the feeling, but we need to get in our head that the build to the last story is over and the power escalation that came with it is gone also. they are building to something new now and its a very slow build. it feels like 2 stories starting, a space one and an earth street level hero one and the street level stuff is what we feel has missing something. the build is happening but we cant see all the pieces yet. kang is gonna be really big but the introduction on a show was the wrong move. not everyone even has Disney+. that's a problem. by the time avengers 1 came out only comic book geeks myself included knew what was happening, when casuals caught on thats when it became big like it was always building but thats not the case.

I think he was referencing the 'Insta-Kill' Mode from Spiderman: Homecoming (after he and Ned hack the suit to access everything).
"This guy is from space, he is here to steal a necklace from a wizard."

And Corvo, f off. The line, and style of the line, is completely consistent with his character. Nothing to do with Joss Whedon. That's just in your head, and too bad for you.
This is the greatest MCU film. I’ll never forget seeing it in theaters.
This is or winter soldier for sure.
Agreed, this was the pinnacle of Marvel.
Funny choice of words, because since then and the current climate for how movies are, I have forgotten what theatres look like.

When Loki gets teary eyed watching Thanos torture Thor and Gamora looking away as Nebula is being tortured are these great details I appreciated because in their heart they can’t stand to see this happen to their siblings even though their relationship is shaky at best.
I also enjoy torture a great deal. Your description made me tear up a little bit.

I love how this movie touched deep. A big surprise for the usually superficial Marvel movies.
Thanos watching Gamora plummet all the way down the cliff, then wince as she hits, is another bit of brilliantly subtle acting that stood out to me. The animator(s) who pushed those pixels around deserve a gold star, and maybe a yacht.
Yancey Nitzsche I 100% agree
The most heartcrushing moment was when Tony wipes his hands casually of Peter's ashes, only to realize, in horror, what he is wiping away.
Such an innate, human reaction, perfect encapsulating Tony slowly processing what just happened, and his brain catching up to the horror of what he now has to deal with.
The film was great though I was disappointed i didn't see Drax
True! And also the film left us all with a gaping question that really needed an answer...
WHY IS GAMORA?!
You missed Drax because he was standing completely still.
He was standing so still that he was invisible to the naked eye.
yes that was the joke guys
Lol you didn't see Mr. Clean?
The complete contrast with Disney Star Wars, revealed heavily in your editing, is that Infinity wars has *absolute* respect and integration with the lore and world building that came before it. It really is the true spiritual capstone to the entire MCU (up to this point) *without* taking any cheap shortcuts or retcons. It doesn't just avoid retcons, it doesn't just recall minor details from the former movies, but even amplifies their meaning and significance. It's sincere, authentic, and beautiful.
One could argue that Thor: Ragnarok was a retcon, but it earned that retcon. Even then, it's more of a soft reboot since _Thor and Thor: Dark World are still relevant to the plot._
Except it has no respect for hulk and thor 😂
@@azgardian32odinson What are you talking about? It shows a ton of respect and knowledge about Marvel Comics. The Sakaar Contest of Champions was based on Planet Hulk, it turned Thor from your average B list superhero into one of the most well received, there are plenty of callbacks to _The Incredible Hulk_ (2008) even if very few people would get them, and it revitalized the character of Thor for Chris Hemsworth.
Chris specifically said that despite his contract with Marvel ending, he'd be more than happy to play Thor in _Love and Thunder_ based on the new life Taika breathed into him. To me, that shows not only a remarkable amount of respect for the character but also the actor.
@@skittybug6937 wrong! It was a watered down planet hulk... and it shows respect to iron man and cap, but hulk didnt even defeat thor on his own.. he had help (LOL the god of thunder defeated by a taser 🙄)which begs the questions did hulk even defeat those other aliens on his own(ragnarok)... also other than avengers 1.. when has Hulk WON a 1v1?... go ahead I'll wait... he lost to the hulk buster.. and I couldn't give a pint of mousse piss if banner helped stark create veronica...

@V-Rex Time spent among Quill is probably the answer. He's... learning, in the loosest sense of the word. "Finger across the neck, means death!"
Watching this in 2023 is literally painful, both mentally and even physically. How is it possible we went from this level of writing to where we are now? They put so much work and attention to this movie, capturing nature and characteristics of sooo many characters, while in the follow ups (putting No Way Home aside of course) they cannot properly capture a nature of a single character, no matter how easy it would be. It is truly astonishing...
I’d say guardians of the galaxy 3 is the only other movie with good writing post infinity war
He never covered end game unfortunately.. although there was some DEI in there, it was the very end
Peter's death hit me hard when I first saw it, yet somehow your explanation of his relationship with Tony made it all the more touching for me. I even shed a couple of tears as you showed it to us again. Thank you, dearly
Plot Twist: The Marvel Universe becomes Dragon Ball Z and the dead characters have adventures in the afterlife while the living characters gather the infinity stones to wish upon Stan Lee to bring them back to life.
I was crying too bc of the avalanche of bad acting in yet another bad Disney cash grab.
None of them are dead. The untitled sequel has them all in in it including cp marvel
Gaaaaay
LOOOOOOOSER!
What I really loved about this movie is how powerful the Black Order was portrayed. They weren’t just some named enemies that the heroes take out with ease before the big fight. They were actually dangerous, like mini bosses in a way, with each member taking multiple heroes fighting them at once to take each out. It really showed how out of their depth the heroes were the entire movie.
Agree only what would be even greater is that Maw didn't die in space but had a life safing suit and got a help then went to titan just when quill beat thanos but mantis kept him under controll and just as they take the gauntlet maw comes and fight all.of them.and end up dying in thanos's hands as he is relieved of manthis and drax control. That would.make him even a better villain just after he lost gamora he lost his best man
Yea I think they went out weak. I think they should have survived and been killed in the second movie..
each member of the black order had more character than the villain in justice league
I only wish they existed in the greater marvel canon. We could've had maw be thanos' spokesman as far back as avengers (instead of weird four thumb guy), teasing the power that thanos commands.
This movie should have been trash, but it was brilliant. The Last Jedi should have been brilliant, but it was trash. Subverted my expectations.

MiniatureMasterClass After the Farce Engorges, I was expecting the next one to be a shit show, and somehow it managed to be even worse than what I was expecting.

I disagree. I liked both movies. TFA is a shitshow.
I'm 49....and i still remember how I felt while sitting in a theater at the end of Empire Strikes Back. It was a feeling of real loss, a feeling that my heroes aren't always perfect, and that sometimes...the bad guys win....that not all heroes are capable of saving the day.
This was the first film since then that I felt that way again. I can't say enough about how awesome this movie is...I've now watched it at least 30 times, and It STILL slaps for me. That scene between Tony and Peter STILL connects, the love between Gamora and Thanos, Gamora and Quill or the despair that Dr Strange feels when he knows the End Game and gives up the stone so Tony can later save the world and put his ego on hold long enough to sacrifice everything to save the universe and bring everyone back, while simultaneously killing himself. Its a god damn masterpiece
it really goes to show that good fiction connects with everyone, and not just an age, race, or gender demographic

DC "handled" their CU?
XD
Thats because Zak Snyder is a terrible screenplay writer
Sacrifice for the greater good is a theme of this film. The heroes were unwilling to sacrifice Vision to destroy the stone and in their greed in trying to remove it first failed. Star Lord was unwilling to complete the mission and get the glove off without finding out what happened to Gamorra and failed. Thor was unwilling to make a deathblow so he could gloat at his revenge and failed. Thanos on the other hand was willing to do whatever it takes including kill the only thing he loved and won.
Phil V Dr Strange was also unwilling to try and destroy the timestone due to his duty to protect the eye of agomoto. He couldn't sacrifice it, so he lost
GabrielReed yeah and on a side note I also like how Thanos told strange that he didn't use his greatest weapon Doctor Strange totally could have just use the time Stone on Thanos to reverse his age into a baby and beat him just as Thanos did to the runner in the infinity War comic book
Phil V
That might have happened in one of those 14 million other futures. Strange wasn't going to try anything that he didn't know would lead them to a 100% guaranteed victory
We will have to wait and see how things play out in the next one. No doubt the heroes wanted to do the right thing and that may not have been the right thing. They didn't want to sacrifice and they paid a price for it in the end. Thanos did horrible things, killed a lot of people just to get the stones, and was willing to sacrifice for his goals.
But could also say the biggest issue was a lack of unity. The Avengers were scattered. Sure they sort of came together, but only after Tony was off in space. There was a need for everyone who could stand together to do so. But they lacked a unified will. Thanos had that focused will and everyone serving him shared that unified will.
Phil V I agree. I thought the same thing at each of those moments. If they had only been willing to act, knowing they'd save many more lives by sacrificing the one, they could've been victorious. It's the selfish part of love that I didn't like and really revealed their weakness. It's unfortunate but that is what war is. Putting the lives of the many over the few, otherwise everyone dies anyway. The good guys blew it repeatedly in favor of their feelings.
I wouldn’t mind getting more unbridled praises.
Hearing you give genuine and heart felt love for a movie fills me with a sense of hope.
In Guardians of the Galaxy 1, the prison scene reveals Gamora is the last of her race, revealing that Thanos was wrong. Her whole planet went extinct somehow anyway.
su1ac0 huh, that’s interesting. Maybe he lied so that she might agree with him.
Rasmus Gantriis abut Nebula made it clear that Thanos isn’t a liar remember in endgame when they thought he was lying about destroying the stones but Nebula said he’s many things but a liar isn’t one of them. It’s either a minor plot hole or just proof that Thanos’s plan would’ve never worked

This movie, and End Game, prove that Tony is the protagonist of the MCU.
Steve is my favorite character, Thor has been transformed from a fairly thin but sometimes neat character to a deep, well thought out character.
But all of that pales to Tony and his journey.
Really? Why? Outside of his parents (at an early age) what loss did he have to deal with except his arrogance? Thor did that too, along with losing literally EVERYTHING HE'D EVER LOVED along the way. Thor also grew more (later devolved) than he did. I really don't understand what people mean when they say 'Tony's journey.' What I really think they mean is he went from billionaire playboy genius who wants to protect the world to billionaire married genius who wants to protect the world....yeah wow...what an arc. Outside of the panic attacks (oh jeez what a psychological dive that was) his attitude did not change even remotely between 10 minutes into Iron Man 1 and End Game. He was probably the most static character in the entire first half of the MCU.
Sorry but, let's be objective.
Dar Sure he went from weapons dealing, god-complex having, lone wolf, still not over his parents death, selfish jerk to a leader, tried to be a peace maker, realized his own hubris (while also accomplishing in a night what people spend a life trying, time travel) and being humbled, team player, processed his grief, and sacrificed himself for the good of the universe.
Besides, even the smallest thing can be a good arc.
An obese person cutting out soda for a month and losing 5 lbs could be a good arc if the writer did it well.
Dar Sure and that’s not to say he’s the only one who’s grown, but this was the Thanos/Ironman age.
@@darsure3006 The Tony at the end of Endgame is a totally different person to the Tony at the beginning of Iron Man
@@Anon-qp3kt Wrong. He got his ass handed to him enough times to finally put his arrogance *slightly* in check. That is not 'a totally different person.' And if you think Tony in Iron Man 1 wouldn't have died to save the universe I don't know what character you've been watching this whole time. His altruism was never in question, nor was his patriotism or intellect.
I actually really liked hearing your positive voice for over 50 minutes.

The difference between Infinity War and SW:TLJ is absolutely striking. One seeks to tell an amazing and complicated story using an over the top setting with fantastic dialog and visuals building upon everything that has happened before while the other seeks to show off great scenes with zero regard for the story or history of the setting. The amount of resources put behind these two films are similar yet IW is clearly far better than TLJ in every conceivable way.

Also, it's pretty ironic given that Marvel is *dominating* DC at the box office, and you have the balls to say that we're a joke. If it has anything to do with us getting excited over objectively good movies that we've grown up with, then you need to wake up and realize that we at least have good movies and characters to get excited over.
It's painful watching this in 2022 and knowing where it would end up and how the MCU would fall from grace and arguably it all started with fat Thor...
At this point I like to think the MCU ended at Infinity War. It's a more dignifying end to the corpse it is today.
Some people even hated this movie because of what they did with Hulk. I'm not that big fan of Hulk, but I can relate why those people were pissed off.
There isn't anything wrong with Fat Thor as a concept, the issue is that it was played as a joke instead of taken seriously. A Thor who has given up after losing everything and even feeling like he was the one person who had the highest chance of success is *good.* It's a genuinely good idea for the way to push him. The issue is that every time he's on screen he's being used as the setup to a punchline. Fat Thor shouldn't be funny, he should be *sad.* It should be heartbreaking whenever he's on screen, trying to stay detached because he feels like he failed everyone. Korg and Meek shouldn't even be gaming in his house. Korg should be more like the friend that actively checks on him to make sure he's at least hasn't hurt himself.
It's the same with Professor Hulk - we should have gotten a short scene showing him forcefully merging himself with Hulk. And he should have been a lot more of a serious character, still prone to some degree of rage. Literally the only time we see that anger come out of him is when he chucks a bench into the lake out of anger over Black Widow's death as well as his friends arguing over it. If there was a time to give him more good screentime it was during the last fight.
@@ApexGale The problem with fat Thor agreed is fundamentally one of execution, but the premise itself is questionable I'm equally not sure that a reclusive boarder line self harming Thor would of worked either although I understand the premise far more than turning him into a joke. But to me both feel out of character with the guy who walked away from Thanos corpse muttering, 'I went for the head' that's far more a man who has decided mercy is a weakness and gone down a vengeful reckless path. I can see why they didn't, it's very similar to Clints arc but they could of executed it very differently, Thor becoming a militaristic and ruthless king, obsessed with the preservation of his remaining people above all else, after all did Norway willingly accept the Asgardians or did the god of Thunder simply give them no choice.
I had less issue with Professor Hulk cop-out though it was, since it swept Hulk hiding in Banner under the rug and just sort of handwaved it, but I can sort of understand it, the handwaving does save a fair bit of time on convincing Hulk to cooperate with the 2nd snap and actually making it work as planned. But doing it all off screen is a bit cheap. My real issue with Hulk is far more Infinity war having him take one beating and hiding in Banner, a personification of rage, hiding... that's really out of character, Hulk becoming more aggressive, less controllable and nearer the surface seems far more in character and would also of provided a better motivation for Banner to merge the two into Professor Hulk as his last option to try and control the monster

I love this video because it lays down truth about why Infinity War is an amazing film and an accomplishment.

I am by no means saying to stop making Unbridled Rage videos. Those videos are great for learning from mistakes, an analysis of what a film got wrong so its blunders will not be repeated. It is, however, even more important to remember when films do get right so we can take its successes and incorporate them in other form of media or even in our everyday lives. We should be able to recognize and celebrate the tremendous accomplishments of a great film, an experience so many worked for and so many others were moved by. It is the sad truth that both bad and good things will always exist in the world, but I hope we can focus more on the positive to be inspired and then aspire to be something greater.

Your breakdown of this movie simultaneously broke down my emotional walls. Amazing dude, Amazing!!!
The way he broke down the Vision and Wanda arc... god damn. The majority of their love life was off screen, yet when the scene appeared with that beautiful soundtrack... i broke. It still hit me like a fucking train.
Same.. It helped that he added connections from the entire MCU franchise and the feels weren't continuously cut off by jokes and actually let you feel the weight of each moment.
Why does no one talks about wanda's death scene. The acting of that was so fucking insane. She literally acted the feeling of sweet relase of death caused by losing the love of your life. Fucking hell i cant watch that scene anymore.
Yes
Her final stand and loss was AMAZING!
Cuz it’s not what you said.

Even though I appreciate the hell out of the entertainment with both vitriol and now praise, I stick around for the analytical depth. Taking things that I wouldn't have noticed, nor understood unless pointed out and then placed out in front of me plainly.
I find it educational and I walk away feeling like I know more about something I enjoy rather than just solely being mindlessly entertained. Thanks, MauLer. Your videos are the ones I most look forward too.

Brah, stop spamming the comments, troll
Agreed
-Respect chars that were build in previous movies
-Continue the story that was built in previous movies
-Make the villain that everyone fears in previous movies be actually worth their fear
*Verdict:*
Infinity War is Literally the opposite of The Last Jedi
Sapphire Jack Infinity War is as bad as the last Jedi
> Both have SJW themes
> nonsensical villains with poorly fleshed out motives (Thanos was just turned into Ares/Ozymandias/Ras Al Ghul/Sam Jackson from Kingsmen) Malthusian Economics is wrong and has been debunked for over a hundred years now
This movie doesn’t respect the characters at all, hell it kills off all but one of the black guys
Little Fav are you fucking serious dude? That's not enough to put it on a last jedi level
+Little Fav
>Complains that Infinity War had SJW themes
>Goes on to complain that it didn't respect its characters because it killed all but one black characters
Seems legit.
Ethan Page I mean it kills the black guy first my nigga.
You just don’t do that unless it’s a horror movie
+Little Fav You have a point.
I just realized that the show Spongebob exists in the MCU since Tony Stark called Ebony Maw "Squidward."
Chaz1871 yes SpongeBob is part of the MCU YEAH BABY 😃
Chaz1871 Well Dora is as well
So is Lord of the Rings. Iron Man in the first avengers told Hawkeye “better clench up Legolas”
The MCU Earth is very similar to ours. Memes, shows, video games and other stuff exists in those worlds. Many events and political stuff exists as well.
The main difference are superheroes, technology, other supernatural events and aliens.
So MCU earth is very similar to ours other than he Sci fi stuff
So does Hadaway. Andy Serkis sang "What is Love?" in Black Panther.
I’ve always thought that while both films are good, this film will age like fine wine and will ultimately age better than EndGame.
It has
"The credits play like an obituary." I told my friends the same exact thing as we sat there in awe.
The amount of anxiety and then relief I felt when I saw the thumbnail and the beginning of unbridled and then followed by praise was very hilarious and worrying tbh.
"They understand the characters they are tasked to write for, but most importantly they respect them *images of Luke drinking green alien tiddy milk*.... "
Yup, wish there'd be as much dedication in the Sequels..
Reading that sentence “Luke drinking green alien tiddy milk” made me laugh and depressed at the same time. Like that is actual canon...

Criticism is necessary for works that don't live up to their potential. But it's also important to celebrate works that do. This kind of content can show directors and writers that fans can be pleased. It's the carrot (that isn't wads of Disney money) to the negative feedback's stick.
It's been over 4 years since this masterpiece was made and it's such a damn shame to see how broken all of this now is 😏😞😞
I keep thinking it must be nostalgia that biases people towards this view. Infinity War was unprecedentedly stupid. It might be the stupidest film committed to cinema. Thanos' villian arc is silly and his motivation is the most nonsensical in cinematic history. Thor overpowers a FULL gauntlet (with universally omnipotent power) with a star axe. It's laughably bad.

@@davidhaddad9022 Don’t blame your dumbassery and general lack of understanding simple film plot/character motifs on this movie
I know I’m late, but think about it like this:
Doctor Strange said and did nothing while Peter was losing his cool. For the time being, it’s very obvious that whatever would have happened, had Peter not hit Thanos, it would have been worse for them in the long run, than what did end up happening.
But who knows, the next film could completely contradict this. We’ll have to wait and see.
Spencer Whiteway true that, and Strange must have seen the future up to when Thor impales Thanos in the chest and not the head, so he could have prevented that and used the time stone to go to that moment, and tell Thor to aim for the head while time is frozen, yet he didn’t. Hence why all the failure is part of Strange’s plan.
Spencer Whiteway I thought Dr. Strange had his hands full trying to restrain one of Thanos's arms, no?
Edward Basso but he says nothing towards Quill only Stark does.
SSJRadioBluth Right. Maybe Dr. Strange saw all of that coming and Quill was supposed to hit Thanos in the face as part of their one chance. Maybe in the alternative timelines where they successfully pull off Thano's gauntlet, they still fail because Thanos somehow manages to get the gauntlet back. Thanos is a really strong character even without any infinity stones. Think about it, he has the baseline strength to hold an infinity stone in his other hand without getting hurt at all. When a normal mortal does that they get rekt. Basically, I think Dr. Strange planned for all of this to happen as it did.
Edward Basso His last words definitely make it seem like it all went right.
I loved the insight you gave on Quill bursting out in anger (29:20)
In a way it was very frustrating and almost seemed like a poor writing moment. Having a character fault be an undoing for the sake of having a fault, but it's a theme we see in our heroes, their humanity. I loved how you didn't just harken back to Quill's previous outburst, but pointed out the connection Tony also had to the outburst back in Civil War.
It just goes to show that the Russo Brother's really appreciated the material they were given and stewarded it with care.
Amen, the Russos do their homework.
Very much like with Drax on Knowhere. Wanting to hurt and kill Thanos to avenge his family despite Quill trying to stop him. Even though the stakes were high because they thought Thanos hadn't collected the soul stone yet. The MCU loves its parallels.
Finally someone who gets it
Every friend I've talked to about Infinity War has said they hate Peter Quill now because of what he did. But that's what made him my absolute favorite person in the entire MCU. It's utterly human.
The fact that Tony reacts to Quill before he does anything is absolutely brilliant. He knows better than anyone what happens when you let emotions and personal experience get the best of you and he sees it in Quill immediately. Just...perfect.
Sorry to double dip but at the end you asked if this was as good or better than "roasting" movies only. I think your essay on Infinity was creative ,on point and helped me appriciate this movie on a deeper level. I cried again watching Spiderman die and how Ironman must face the uncharted grief he finds himself in. Well done sir, highest marks. If the movie deserves praise we need to hear about that as well as the dregs.
The Last Jedi tried subverted expectations and failed to my dismay but Infinity could teach a master class on the subject.
Re-watching this after almost 2 years and it's still awesome, I hope you do another Unbridled Praise one day.
I hope he does one of captain America the winter soldier that movie was amazing
And he did.
"What did it cost?"
"Everything "
alaster boneman "well except say.... anything. Im a one dimensional, insane, dumb villain what do i care about you people? I destroyed your home and forced you to kill your sister over and over and over. I dont even know why i did THIS i couldve done so much more but yeah it took evrything"
Alberts Choise it was ment to be a joke, and also you assume that I'm advercating for thanos. And while I might joke about thanos I don't agree with his senterment. As it is fairly clear that for all his convictions that "this is the only way" that he didn't look all that hard for alternatives like for example creating more resources, fixing the environment of the planets with in the universe that his solution is a bad aid not a cast. It's clear that Thanos has convinced himself that he and he alone is correct that he and he alone has the will to carry this out. That like all Villans save perhaps the self aware ones he believes himself the hero of his own story.
honestly, if just a couple people would have "chewed into their molar" they would have stopped him. namely gamorra with her sister, wanda killing vision for the mind stone, eitri (who could have been like "nah, brah) when asked to make the guantlet
Pistol Pete so your solution is for the hero's to become murders and not even try to find other ways to stop Thanos other than letting the people they care about be killed or mutilated. To become the very thing they hate and fight against. That's not a solution. Because that's the very thing Thanos dose to spread his solution. Thanos believes what he is doing is right, that it is a ugly horrible thing that needs doing. But not once not once has he consided that there are better options. He gave up looking /trying to find a better way. If he ever looked in the first place. The hero's have refused to walk that path. To allow suffering and carnage to be their first port of call. They chose to do the right thing. And they failed, but is it not better to fail while trying to do the right thing rather that success at doing the wrong thing? For Wanda to kill the man she loves ? For Gamra to watch her sister be mutilated again after a life time of turning a blind eye and not considering Nova's well being?
alaster boneman but the thing is ... it is a better way. One or two people is better than half of the universe. The best example of this being done logically is Spock in star trek: wrath of Khan. And, no, failing to save half the earth is still failing to save half the universe. Someone is going to have to "pick up the bill," and vision realized this.
Damn. I'm still tearing up at just a summary of the closing Spiderman scene....
Also note that when Thanos was dragging Gamora to the cliff, he was doing it just like a parent drags a child throwing a tantrum.
FortCastellan hu
I and some other people at cinema laughed, cause build up was good, but Tom Holland's face before fading and the look was just awful. Like a poker face, when you said something stupid and want others to believe it. Nevertheless good movie, great summery of all previous entries.
Why didn't Thanos ask for endless resources tho? Was it really that necessary to discipline galaxy through loss of someone close? :)

Hello there!
Here it is folks, some of you have been wondering when this was going to be uploaded. Well, I got done with the 9th version this morning and am now happy with it.
"An Unbridled Praise" is meant to be a series where I do the opposite of rage at a film. Instead of taking only the negatives and assessing the plot in a biased manner, I am celebrating the film by talking about it's positives in a biased manner, this will give me an outlet for the great and terrible movies of our planet and potentially games down the line.
My critique series' will always be where I attempt to be objective in assessing quality but here, i wanted to gush over Marvel and share my knowledge of the content, I wanted to really give them a pat on the back for doing something amazing and hell, it's nice to have a positive video for once right?
Please, let me know what you think about this as an idea for future videos on the channel and thank you for watching the video, il see yah next time. o/
MauLer Unfortunately I've missed most Marvel movies so I have no clue what's going on 😂. But I hope others enjoy it! Sounds like an awesome series to do. Glad you and many others liked it. Can't wait for Marvel to dwarf Star Wars numbers post-TLJ. Going to be delicious.
MauLer - I like the idea of an "Unbridled Praise" series, personally. Not only does it protect you from your detractors using the "you just hate everything!" bs excuse but it is also just good for giving us perspective on films you enjoy vs the ones you don't.
On a separate topic, do you think you might at some point in the future make a video specifically on the subject of objectivity vs subjectivity in media and/or film? I just feel like it might be a good and interesting video topic where you can provide clarity on your stance while using various examples from films, etc.
you streamed god of war i couldnt watch man no spoilers havent finished yet :(
MauLer Are you going to review God of War in the future?
MauLer really enjoyed the video, awesome job!
I've never had an experience like when I first watched Infinity War. The dread and excitement throughout the entire film was incredible, and watching my little sister break down when she saw the heroes she loved fall to dust in front of her was something I never could've imagined. What a film.
I love the shot of spiderman after getting knighted. You can see he's proud of acheiving his goal but then immediatly worried about the meaning of that responsability
I wouldn't say he is worried about that responsibility. It is more so that he is taking that responsibility seriously, because he is in a serious situation.
I had a comment simply about your title, but realized it was ignorant of your fanbase. With that in mind I will say this from experience. The negative critiques will get you views, the positive critiques will get you fans. Leave the positive critiques for the few and outstanding pieces of work you want to hold up on a pedestal, and you will never go wrong. P.S. Trust in your own critiques. You very clearly understand the structure behind story telling and have the experience to back it up. Keep up the good work.
Great comment!
I second all of your sentiments!
Well said
"This shouldn't be possible, yet here we are."
"Back at The Donut, we see that Doctor Strange has been tortured by Squidward..."
Marvel's writers are genius. The fact they had a huge auidence to follow the Infinity Stones is an achievement. There were so many ways it could fail
It didn't fail financially but it failed on many other levels,another terrible cgi army to fight? They did that in the 1st avenger and the second avengers...wow,really breaking the mold.Not to mention you finally get your first component villain (a purple cgi alien) and suddenly it's the reincarnation of the dark knight joker? Laughable to say the least.
thunder cleez someone is salty that this movie did really well. Critics and people all over the world really like this movie. It has flaws. Thanos is good in his own right. Joker from the dark knight is good in his own right. They are both great movies. The Cgi in this movie was really good, compared to something like Justice League. Thanos, looked and sounded real. Obviously you couldn’t do that with costumes. They did a great job. Flaws yes. But the fact that you can’t say one positive thing about this movie. Means one thing. You are a DC fanboy who is salty. I love marvel and some of DC. But damn dude. This is a Cinematic achievement, combining everything they done in the last 10 years together. I hope they remember you. Because after you die. Nobody will.
thunder cleez Loki, thanos, and Killmonger. Are all great villains from the MCU. There are good ones or decent ones. But those are the best 3. I love the dark knight as a movie. Joker is easily one of the best Villains out there. But you are only talking about 1 movie. It’s hard to compare Thanos and joker. You are in really naïve. Stop being salty that the MCU is successful and the DCEU isn’t. This movie was a success. Your opinion is just hate. Maybe if you would back it up with some positive feedback, then your opinion would make sense.
FlipFlopGod what about Vulture?
thunder cleez how the HELL IS THANOS A HEATH LEDGER JOKER KNOCKOFF!? Also the CGI enemies weren’t even the main focus in the fights, most of the fights had Thanos in them.
I REALLY appreciated that you called Nidavellir a foundry. As a bladesmith, when I saw that Giant Tyrion was casting metal (instead of forging it), it really broke my heart. Because, when it comes to weapons of war, casting is NOT an advanced technique. We could have had a really cool scene where someone (Groot, Thor) was holding onto a superhot metal block, while Eitri forged it into shape, using his fist as a hammer. If Nidavellir is home to a forge, forge something! Why are you CASTING it? Is it a bell? Is it a cast-iron skillet? Or is it a King's weapon?
Cheers, great video mate.
I actually leaned over to say this exact thing to my gf when we watched IW the first time lol
Truly, men of culture!
men of steel, @@tastyloaf5487
As an aspiring blacksmith, I didn't really object to the casting of Stormbreaker, simply because casting weapons has been done, historically.
Would a scene as you've described it have been incredibly epic? Yes. Yes it would have, and the wannabe blacksmith in me shed a few tears that it wasn't so, lol.
But if being advanced is key, then Nidavellir could just as easily have been a big CNC machine, shaving Stormbreaker into shape, like how an Albion blade is made.
We also wouldn't have gotten the 'Thor holds open the door to a star' scene, because the hammering of the axe into shape would have taken a *shitload* longer than just melting the ingots of Uru, and he would probably have died long before they had an axe-shaped hunk of metal.
Besides; casting fell out of use because the properties and impurities of iron don't make it ideal to cast weapons, but iron made significantly stronger weapons than bronze, and so supplanted it.
Uru may be entirely different, like a significantly stronger bronze, and so casting is simply the faster, less laborious method.
"As a bladesmith," is one of the most powerful ways to open a comment.
40:38 I just realized. Quill, when he chose to shoot gamora, resonated with thanos. Thanos recognizes that quill is will to make the hardest choice to save the universe, just like he did to get the soul stone. Amazing movie
37:57 I always wondered why I didn't have a problem with Thanos loving Gamora. Turns out it's because the movie does the work to lay the idea in your head, to make sure Thanos shows it.
It is because that absolute scariest villain is someone who actually thinks they are right, thinks they are the good guy. It is one of the reasons why old 90s movies were so great, that while the villains mustache twirling over the top, they were usually presented as wanting something good (like world peace), just with them as the king. Thanos always though of himself as the good guy, so why wouldn't he also have a daughter he loves.
I personally couldn't make sense of it and thought that his "love" is a part of his distorted perception of himself and reality. I am no expert on psychology, and because he is fictional he won't follow all the rules, but from what I can tell, she is primarily a tool to him, so I thought he was incapable of love. And only felt the lose because he was that convinced of his own bs, that he loves her. Idk

I became a really big fan of your work when you came out with your rant against the Last Jedi, and I shared your anger about that film. I especially enjoyed your analytical break down of the film and the reasons as to why it was bad. I often link friends to it that want a more precise understanding as to why I hated that movie. Your current video about the Avengers is spot on, and I do love that you spoke about all of the things that made this film work. Although, like yourself, I am admittedly biased when it comes to this franchise. That being said, I still liked the video and it’s tonal shift from previous videos. Keep up the awesome job
@Skyler Duchesne.. I'm pretty sure he's trolling with all that "praise" especially at the end of the video.. I originally graded Infinity war a C -. The film isn't great or terrible. But it's leaning one way.

@@ibrahimkalmati9379 Curious what your take is because it’s also one of my favorite comic book movies. It certainly has its issues but I loved it. Did you dislike it or thought it was eh?
@@ibrahimkalmati9379 I enjoyed Endgame but IMO it was gradually worse than Infinity War. I look at the Avengers movies as the OG Star Wars trilogy. Avengers 1 is A New Hope, a fast and simple but at the same time very entertaining movie that provides a great story and characters. Avengers Infinity War is Empire Strikes Back, the crowning jewel of both franchises that’s keeps the adrenaline running while providing strong development to its heroes and villain. Endgame is Jedi, very dramatic albeit a little sloppily scripted and poorly paced that does amazing things with some characters and does things with others I don’t like. Age of Ultron is the holiday special. It’s not nearly as bad but it came right after New Hope and was much worse
