Gomora smiled because Peter pulled the trigger. Even though Thanos turned the blast into bubbles, Peter kept his word and tried to kill her, he kept her trust because he truly loved her. Edit: corrected the spelling of Gamora's name
Leaving the theater that first weekend was like a funeral procession. People stunned into silence, people crying, and people in solemn disbelief. And yes, we had to wait an entire year to see how it would play out.
"I'm confused why Hulk can't Hulk in this movie..." Simple: He got his ass handed to him by Thanos aboard Thor's ship. Hulk has been able to defeat everything anyone's ever thrown at him (with the possible exception of the Hulkbuster-armor). Hulk is basically suffering from a bit of PTSD after his smackdown by Thanos.
And, he was suffering from harming civilians following the events of _Age of Ultron_ which is why he fled and ultimately ended up on Sakaar. Then he spent 3 years fighting in the Grandmaster's Arena on Sakaar unable to return to his Bruce Banner form. That was never explained but clearly Hulk has lots of issues.
Yeah, it’s a thing with boxers and fighters. When they are very strong and have only ever dominated or have close matches, and after they got their first REAL beat up, it gets to them and they get all shaky and insecure to got back in the ring again.
The reason Thanos can turn blaster fire into bubbles, Drax into bricks, etc. is because he got the Reality Stone from The Collector before the Guardians arrived at Knowhere. He can use it to make reality whatever suits him by activating that stone. The red stone is always lit up (like they do with other stones on the gauntlet) when he's using it.
The scene with Hulk crashing into the Sanctum is actually pulled straight from the comic. In Infinity Gauntlet (1991), the Silver Surfer crashes into Doctor Strange’s Sanctum to warn about Thanos, while for this film it's Hulk. Adam Warlock then takes charge and leads Earth’s heroes against the Mad Titan, since Adam has yet to introduced in the MCU he's of course not in the movie. Another big difference is the snap. In the comic, it happens right at the very beginning of the story, while in the movie, it’s saved for the dramatic climax. Thanos’ motivations are also completely different. Comic Thanos wants to impress Mistress Death by wiping out half the universe, while MCU Thanos believes he’s saving the universe by doing the same thing. The biggest change, though, is the lineup of characters. The Infinity Gauntlet comic features everyone from The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and more. The MCU, however, focuses mainly on the Avengers since Marvel didn’t have the movie rights to the X-Men or Fantastic Four at the time. Disney’s purchase of Fox in 2019 reverted those rights back to Marvel, meaning they can now freely use characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four. That’s how we’re getting Fantastic Four: First Steps in 2025 which will introduce Marvel's First Family into the MCU. It’s worth noting that this movie isn’t based on the Infinity War comic (1992), but on Infinity Gauntlet (1991). The Infinity War storyline in the comics focused on The Magus, an evil version of Adam Warlock, who schemes to gain absolute power. That storyline brought together heroes and villains from across Marvel’s universe. Fun fact: the X-Men got a lot of spotlight back then since they were Marvel’s biggest stars in the early ‘90s. If you check out the Infinity War comic covers, you’ll see a massive lineup of characters, with the X-Men characters taking center stage. Doctor Doom, along with Galactus two iconic Fantastic Four villains were also major players in this storyline as well Because the rights to Marvel characters were spread across different studios in the 2000s to 2010s many people introduced to Marvel by the MCU during this time had no idea that the X-Men or Fantastic Four were part of Marvel. For them, Marvel was synonymous with The Avengers and the MCU. As a comic fan, that’s wild to think about, but it makes sense, those X-Men and Fantastic Four films were completely disconnected from the MCU, so casual viewers wouldn’t associate them with Marvel, aka the MCU. Yet the X-Men, along with the Fantastic Four are so important to basically every Marvel crossover event in the comics.
One of the things that disappointed me about the MCU Infinity Stones, is how weak they are compared to the ones in the comics. In the comics, the Infinity Stones are absolute in their bailiwick. We all understand it was a narrative conceit, but the notion that the stones couldn't be used to just provide infinite supplies instead of killing half the people is laughable. Heck, you would only need the Reality Stone really - these aren't Dragonballs. They are will-less fundamental aspects of reality. Even the celestial beings like Eternity, the In-Betweener, Master Order, Lord Chaos and Galactus feared just one stone. Dead people could be brought back with just a thought with the full gauntlet, let alone just the reality and soul gem. Also in the comics, the stones could be wielded by an ant, let alone a person, Titan or Celestial. The notion that their use is damaging or lethal was a new construct for the movies as an answer for why people don't just use them willy-nilly.
Wakanda isn't "just right there." You were right and the commenters are wrong. There IS a hologram that makes it invisible, but it doesn't actually vanish. The hologram just makes it APPEAR as if nothing is there. This didn't work on the Children of Thanos because they were tracking Vision via the Mind Stone's energy, much like Tony and Bruce did with the Tesseract in the first Avengers film.
In the end credit scene of Black Panther, the United Nations knows that Wakanda exists, but think it's just a backwards nations of farmers because of the hologram
I saw this in theaters and man... when the snap happened it was nothing but stunned silence. As each character vanished, I could hear a few gasps. Particularly for bucky and groot. But when Spiderman dusted... this one girl a few rows back was full-on sobbing. It was such a wild experience. Usually people remember when the theater crowd erupts in applause... but the reaction to the ending of this movie is something I'll never forget.
When I watched this in the theater and Spiderman started saying he didn't feel so good, I started bawling my eyes out. His Spidey-Sense let him feel it coming!
I watched this in a theater on opening night. It was a packed house. When the movie ended people were sobbing in the theater . When we walked out it was in silence, like walking out of a funeral.
I remember seeing this in the theatre, as a comic reader knowing the general direction the story was going, and it was something I'll never forget. The entire crowd just went silent aside from a couple people crying. Nobody could believe it. People were just staring off into the distance like they had PTSD. It's very rare that a movie can end a story on the villain winning, and they NAILED it.
I hate that Thor doesn’t mention The Warriors Three when he talks about the people he cares about that he lost. They are the three musketeers of Asgard (Volstag, Fandral, Hogun). They deserve better.
This movie is the MCU masterpiece! It is absolutely incomplete without Avengers: Endgame (which was originally subtitled Infinity War Part 2 - the title was changed mainly because of how very different they are tonally), but I hold this as the stronger film technically speaking, and the true achievment of what Kevin Feige set to pull off.
yea imo this is the best Marvel movie by a long shot Thanos is such a good villain and u can see the reasons for his actions as bad as they seem i just dont like End Game as much because i dont like how they were able to resolve it
I remember sitting in the cinema at the end of this movie, and thinking “WHAT JUST HAPPENED “ was in total disbelief and kept saying “NO”. Then had to wait like FOREVER to see Endgame.
As a comic fan, I knew pretty much that Thanos would win. I still enjoyed the hell out of the film. Seeing the bad guy win is so rare that I was still surprised they did it. Seeing other peoples reactions was the most fun part.
Also a comic fan. Knowing what was going to happen if not how they would fix it and seeing people's reactions in the theater and as we left was priceless. I don't know if it was better to know about the snap or not, but seeing everyone shocked and crying at the was great.
It's always fun explaining to non-comic people how much they reduced Thanos' and the gauntlet's power. In the MCU, the heroes are able to put up a bit of a fight, but in the comic they are literal playtoys. Thanos fights all of the cosmic entities at the same time and freaking wins. It might be the most insane feat in Marvel comics to date.
Enjoy the experience. Ignore the comment section on Captain Marvel. Take a break after Endgame. There are good Phase 4/5 projects but the quality varies and you’ll burn yourself out.
All three points are good advice. Phase 4/5 have some legit good stuff but the mid drags it down and hurts more if you don’t give yourself a break. And then there’s Secret Invasion.
Agreed on all points. Ignorant people ( MCU fans unfamiliar with the comic books... ) unjustly disparage Captain Marvel. I knew way back after the first Avengers movie that they'd have to bring in Captain Marvel. A baddie like Thanos requires a serious power level character.
Some of us knew what was coming because this is an established comic storyline. There are differences in how things happened, but it's mostly all there. Mostly we wondered how the MCU would do it, rather than how it happened in the comics. I saw this at a theater in Las Vegas. When the credits rolled, silence. Everyone just walked out.
Saw this in the theater with my son - it was a spectacular film, full of amazing moments. And a crushing film full of lass and sacrifice. I think someone else commented with something that was perfect - "it was like walking out of a funeral" tears. silence. and a feeling of bonding with everyone in the theater of that loss.
At the end of Spiderman Homecoming, remember Tony offered Peter to be an Avenger and he rejected the offer.. Pepper and Tony decided to announce their engagement because they had gathered a big press conference announcement that was supposed to be a new member of the Avengers, but Peter declined..
21 movies before this one, that all set this movie up perfectly. One of the greatest achievements in cinema history. People were definitely crying at the end in the theater. A lot of people walked out in shock.
Remember, we went one entire year between these movies. At the end of the movie, no one moved or made a sound. Everyone knew there would be an end-credit scene, and everyone was seeking any hope. The music score was just haunting during the end credits. I think it was important to confirm to everyone during the end-credit scene that this was happening everywhere. Yes, when Fury dropped that pager that symbol was recognizable. I expect that these films will be re-released prior to the next Avenger's films. I would recommend you try to catch a screening with an audience.
One thing that I think they really nailed especially well in Infinity War is the balance of weight/darkness with enough moments of humor. It doesn’t so much “lighten the mood” overall, it’s still an incredibly dark storyline by comic movie or overall action movie standards of constant defeats and a sense of sliding down toward doom. It’s more of a relief valve to let even more of that darkness actually sink in (unless you just go hard on the denial like some do, I guess). Just in general, whether it’s real life or film/stories, people’s ability to process things like grief/fear gets saturated and they start to readjust and be more numb to it as it goes on. Sometimes the numbness can go so far as to just overall disconnect from the rest of the story. Writers/filmmakers have found you can push up to the edge of that saturation, though, and if you instead give the audience even a small break with humor/hope you can keep pushing further down without that numbness.
When I saw this in the theatre it was silent at the end and people left very quietly. This film probably sparked the most "what's going to happen in the next film?" discussions of any film I've seen. It was a long year to wait.
I will never get why people blame Peter for hitting Thanos, but they never blame Gamora, who gave up the Soul Stone to protect someone that spent most their live trying to kill her. Peter was going to kill Gamora because she asked him to
Family is a complicated thing. Gamora understood her sister by the end of volume 2, she didn’t want to cause her anymore pain. Peter acted out of emotion. That stopped them from getting all 4 stones at a critical moment. Gamora giving away the location was a toss up. Even if Thanos knew the location, he wouldn’t have been guaranteed the stone. It was a happy accident that he needed her at that moment so he could get the Soul stone.
@@stevenperez845 Yeah but giving him the location made it a lot easier to get it. She knew what he was like, so she should have know even giving him the general location was stupid
Haha you may be onto something. Pretty sure this was long before any stories about his family life got out, the dirt on the church he attends, his Twitter/insta follows got out there and people started getting annoyed at his voice castings.
I like the confirmation at the end, that this was really a Thanos movie and we were following the "bad guys". Thanos was the protagonist of this story, and this was the story of how he succeeds and beats those trying to stop him. The end screen saying "Thanos will return", is a nod to this.
I went opening night. The theater was dead silent minus one little girl dressed as Gamora who was quietly crying. It was such a wild moment, people feeling dread and unease about the characters in the MCU. Glad I got to experience that.
@@CrowTRobot It was eerily silent for mine too. I do have to say, as much as I think they really did something great with these 2 movies it felt like they overplayed their hand a bit. To be clear, I’m being careful not to spoil anything beyond this… I am ONLY talking about what I thought walking out of this movie: I wasn’t anything like where her reaction is for fully denying it all… it felt like a very heavy slog of loss after loss and seemed pretty explicit that Loki and Gomorrah were “actually” gone. That said, to me they killed too many of the wrong characters at the snap to believe for a second it could be real at the time. Shauna mentions it being a lot of the newer characters when the weight was sinking in more for her, but it was the opposite for me. These defeats were a big moment to let go of some of the older characters that overshadow any attempt to do something new so I would’ve believed some of them going but I didn’t believe they’d dump all their newer (to the current movies/actors) and very popular characters like Spider-Man, basically the entire Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther at the same time. Not saying it was a bad decision, though. It does really nail down just how heavy of a defeat it is in that moment whether you think some will come back or not.
At the end of seeing this in the theater for the first time (it was an early showing, so there weren't a lot of people in the first place), NO one was saying a word when leaving the theater. Not. A. Whisper. However, most of us did know we had Endgame coming up (we didn't know the title yet, but knew the follow-up had been filmed back-to-back with Infinity War. Plus, a lot of us had seen set photos of what was coming, and Gweneth Paltrow and said some things on a late night talk show that seemed like spoilers for a movie that definitely _wasn't_ Infinity War). And yes, two things stood out almost immediately: First, killing off Spider-Man and Black Panther raised a lot of eyebrows and was basically hinting to the audience not to give up hope. And second, that it was mostly the original Avengers left after the snap. Both of those things you, yourself, noticed; I'm just saying I'm pretty sure we were supposed to.
I remembered taking my niece to see this in the theater and that finale ending, when we all walked out, you could almost hear a pin drop, that's how quiet and in disbelief we were.
There ARE(were?) two matching Infinity Gauntlets. Thanos has the left hand gauntlet, and Odin had the matching right hand gauntlet in his treasure vault (though it had fake Infinity Gems in it, because the only Infinity Stone in Odin's possession was the Space Stone (Tesseract)...........unless you count the Power Stone (the Ether) which they briefly had too, but the deemed it too powerful and dangerous to store near the Tesseract, so they sent it to The Collector). The "Infinity Gauntlet" that you saw the dwarves have on Nidavellir is just the mold for making Infinity Gauntlet parts.
After I saw this movie I was both happy and sad. Happy because many characters I didn't like got disappeared but sad because I knew they will be back in End Game.
The scene at the end when Cap catches Thanos' fist and, using all his strength, is able to push it back to Thanos' bewildered amusement is one of my favorite moments in all of the MCU.
so the '14 million possibilities but only winning 1' isn't strange seeing EVERY outcome possible. He was just searching as many possibilities as he could before finding one that worked. They were out of time so he had to stop looking
I saw this in theaters. Nobody moved during the credits. Everyone was in shock. As the credits ended the guy next to who was a complete stranger asked if I was okay. All I could say was “I don’t know”
One thing I did know when the movie was released (and for months beforehand) is that "Infinity War" would be Part 1 of a two-part story. Marvel Studios also announced which two movies would be released between Part 1 and Part 2, and what would come after. To me, this seemed like a wee bit of a spoiler. I would have changed the order slightly to preserve the surprise.
I think that’s what they intended. He went from never being beaten/needing to fear anything to first Ultron, after which he ran away to another planet he had nothing to fear on and was all but worshipped for his power. Then not even able to put up a fight against Thanos. The Hulk part of Banner, built from his rage, was taught to fear and didn’t know how to handle it.
Shanelle, we knew it was supposed to be two parts - but - we weren’t sure of the name(s). I think it was leaked to be Infinity War - Parts I & II. We heard Part II was to be name “End Game” shortly after this one was released. Glad you enjoyed it and had the same “wait-a-minute!” reaction we all did afterwards.
Nice. Now this was a theatre experience. Having been a lifelong comic book nerd, I knew how it would end but it was amazing how silent the theatre was when this ended. My 2 nephews were trying to hide their tears, looking to me to explain. Truly magical. My alltime number 2 MCU movie.
Saw it in cinema with the family. The emotion and hype was vibrant, it was a strange collective experiance. Everyone was in chock after. When it ended the room was dead quiet for the hole credit, I will never forget it. We did not know were marvel was going with this at all.
Basically, what we have left at this point are the original Avengers, plus a couple on the side. And we might not consider these high cinema, but nobody can deny the dialogue is super snappy, and that's entertaining. It's a parade of tropes, and somehow it works.
I went to see it in theaters a few days after it came out. After the end of the movie, it was such a somber ambiance, everyone was sad, nobody was talking, I had never been a part of a movie audience like that.
Like I understand where Thanos is coming from. Finite resources on struggling planets means they all will suffer and die eventually. But his idea to just remove half the people is one of the stupidest ways to resolve it. He has basically limitless power. He could just make those resources regenerate like this is some MMO. Also fun fact in the comics Thanos had MUCH more shallow reasons for doing this. He was in love with lady death and wanted to court her. So he wiped out half the universe to try and win her love.
Oddly, there are people who think like Thanos in the real world, and as you said, the solution is to "make more pie" not to "reduce pie eating". The "regenerating resources" concept isn't really that far fetched either. We know that energy can be converted into matter and we've even done it. So, if we can harness lots of energy, we can generate resources as needed. Doom and gloomers need to be put in a corner.
Also it doesn't actually solve the problem, it just pushes it into the future. he stunts the growth sure, but he does nothing to make any permanent change to the proportion resources v population growth. He could have adjusted how much resources each individual needa. He could have adjusted how much resources each individual WANTS. He could have adjusted birth rates. There are a million different things he could have done to actually solve the problem. So yeah, I agree this was one of the absolutely dumbest ways to solve the problem.
@@Eidlones We know. We are, however, quite weirded out by the number of people who seem to think Thanos had some kind of point or that his solution was in any way, shape or form reasonable. I mean, I get that a lot of them are just doing it for shits and giggles, but that doesnt make them seem less weird.
Saw this one in theaters. There was a lot of laughing at the bi jokes. Huge cheers when Thor got his axe...and stunned silence at the end. Not a peep in the room when the credits hit.
With so many great things in this movie, the casting of Peter Dinklage, possibly the world's most famous short people and actor, as a giant was just brilliant. xD
I consider this that last truly perfect MCU film, and this was such an event. I brought my siblings out to watch, and by the end, the theater was SILENT. what an experience ❤
Some of us did know coming out of the theater because I think they filmed Infinity War and Endgame either together or back to back. Plus, there had been talks about sequels for some characters and stuff so we were like, "They wouldn't do that!" And then they did, lol.
They had an entire committee to work on the continuity for this film, and how it connects to others. In the comics that was Stans’s job to make sure that continuity was preserved. The comic book industry even invented a term called Retcon. Retroactive continuity to rewrite a past event just enough to make a tie into some new storyline that hadn’t been properly connected yet. They’ve been trying to avoid doing that in the Marvel movies by planning things out carefully.
The best bit as a comic reader once it was clear they'd actually do the snap (it's Disney, after all; the snap was _a bit_ more serious than killing Bambi's mum) was watching (and hearing, in the theatre) the reactions of movie-only fans, who weren't expecting an MCU film where the heroes didn't win (much less a loss and decimation of this calibre). The movie was great. The reactions were even better.
I think most of us knew most of the characters would be back. The general consensus was, anyone that died pre snap was dead and everyone else will be back. Endgame is a very worthy pay off and I’ve been really excited for that video
One correction on what Shan said about Endgame, we did know it was coming when this movie came out. I believe their titles (and maybe release dates) were announced at the same time. What I don't remember is how many other characters' movie sequels had also been announced before Endgame released.
this is the only film ive seen at a midnight premier. it was my senior year of HS, the night before my senior prom. the theater was dead silent at the end, it felt so hopeless. i can vividly remember walking out of the theater sick to my stomach, like a zombie
Part of the what you mentioned was true about not knowing what was going to happen in the future movie but it was more about the details not the outcome. This was a major event in the comics where it affected the universe. The difference between the movie and the comics was the actual reason why Thanos was doing what he did. In the comics he was in love with Lady Death and he did the snap to appease her by giving half of the life of the universe to her. This was hinted at the first time we saw Thanos in the end credits scenes of the early movie but was later changed because we wasn’t introduced to Lady Death yet and her character might not have been understood or even hard to comprehend. So they changed the reasoning of Thanos. At this period of time Captain America wasn’t going by this name he was going by the name of Nomad. This wasn’t really gone into but in the comics there was a short time where he was not going by the name of Captain America and was using this alias called Nomad. This was his alias in the movie but not actually mentioned but us comic book readers knew it. The issue with the Hulk is a little more complex in the books there was a whole thing of split personality and and stuff. It might be addressed in future projects so it’s not really necessary to go into it at this point.
My absolute favorite MCU film! Happy you finally made it! This made for a great 2am diner run with my friends afterwards. There was so much to talk about, and waiting a whole year for any kind of follow-up was crazy!
Vibranium came from a meteor that struck Africa. It’s a metal, but like many metals, it made its way into the plant life of the area (much like iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium).
As a taxi driver I was tasked with taking a large group of young girls (16/17) to the cinema to see this, before I had been myself, I knew that I was going to collect them afterwards and there were rumours of a main character death so I swore them to complete silence when I came to collect them. When they came out of the cinema they were all sobbing very loudly, I thought it can’t be that bad but I was wrong and very much stayed for end credits to dry my eyes before leaving 😂
I will say this movie is written by 5 people, the 2 writers, russo brothers and Kevin Fiege, unless they all are happy things won't get executed. There was a pre-production teaser of infinity war in which kevin says we wanted the avengers to face something un-prepared and would lose if they are not together and that's why we made civil war before infinity war to tear the avengers apart. In the age where everything gets leaked nobody knew what the next movie title will be, even when the first trailer for endgame dopped the title is not mentioned in the video name, you have to watch the trailer in which at the end they reveal the Title Avengers: Endgame I would really recommend watching that teaser, because that really sets up the tone and tension of the movie (they do a thing with music a heart beat music), I mean it really helps to take out from the giggling phase and watching the movie with the impact.(of course watch it after ant-man and the wasp)
Right before Quill loses it, if I were Stark I'd have Parker knock Quill on his ass and webbed him from head to toe because they were sooooo close to getting the gauntlet off of Thanos hand.
Much as some might moan about Hulk getting beaten by Thanos in a fight it does rather make sense. Up to this point Hulk has never had to fight someone just as strong as he is. He's always the big guy taking down the puny little ants with no effort. So as soon as he goes up to someone just as strong as himself and that someone knows how to fight he has no idea what to do
Dead silence in the theater when it was over, and a feeling like I'd just watched Shindler's List again. The Snap did kill half of all living creatures, but the Random Number Generator killed well over half of the Avengers, plus a few that Thanos had already killed. He really could have killed more if he'd been trying, but in most of the movie, he was using only as much power as needed to win.
The comics the vision and the scarlet witch were a thing for a long time and for a lot of us fans that was the comic book romance that we love the most cause they were both such outsiders, a witch and an android. The love had to be true because it was not about social convenience or marriage or family or anything
At this point in 2018, we knew that there was going to be an Avengers 4 (didn't know the name yet) and we knew there was going to be a Spider-Man movie after that. So, yeah, a lot of people had a tough time believing that they were all really dead.
It is funny, at the beginning, when you were so hyped up and ready to watch the Avengers, I thought oh that mood is going to change. We knew at the time that this movie came out that there was going to be another movie, but it still did not lessen the impact. I remember sitting in my chair stunned like somebody had hit me with a bat with tears in my eyes in fact, just re-watching with with you, my eyes welled up a bit when Spiderman was saying I don't want to go.
We knew there was a second part to the story BUT we didn’t know Thanos was going to actually win! We assumed it would be a traditional two parter where there wouldn’t be a resolution to the main story. The shock was it was all resolved and Thanos won. We could not imagine how the story would go from here.
Don’t ever forget that force Fields and lasers and all these other tech weapons they simply move and work at the speed of the plot. We’re not given the parameters of these devices exactly so they fit the storyline real science fiction would give you precise parameters so you could logically work out what might happen
Re Cap's beard and Widow's blond hair: They (and Sam, and Sharon Carter) went into hiding following the events of Civil War, as they were wanted for violating the Sokovia Accords.
Your reaction of the ending is what we all felt at the end of this movie. As seeing this in IMAX in anticipation as a Marvel fan it was top tier cinema for me. It had been a long time since the full theater experience was this amazing. Not just because of the movie but the people reacting in the theaters. You’re all left in denial at the end itching to see Endgame to know how this even ends. I loved it every moment but I can say it only gets better. As for points in the video. Wakanda’s shield both hides and protects Wakanda from the outside world because of its technology and Vibranium. The effects flying in is either a code or specific entry point to end in by aircraft. The final scene with Nick Fury was a reference toward Captain Marvel’s symbol which leads into the next movie before Endgame. Oh and keep in mind fans had to wait another year. Extra note: Josh Brolin was Cable in Fox’s Deadpool 2. Deadpool calls him Thanos and One Eyed Willy (Goonies).
Sony messed up on this when Infinity War came in The theater by announcing the release date for Spiderman 2, spoiling the full severity. We knew some of them would be saved in the upcoming Endgame, just didnt know who and how. Infinity War is the Hero story Arc for Thanos. The wait for Endgame was really long..
Gomora smiled because Peter pulled the trigger. Even though Thanos turned the blast into bubbles, Peter kept his word and tried to kill her, he kept her trust because he truly loved her.
Edit: corrected the spelling of Gamora's name
Exactly.
*Gamora 😁
Gomorrah is the city in the Bible, Gamora is the green lady with swords.
Quill was the only person that was willing to sacrifice his love. That is why Thanos like him.
@jonathanross149 cuz on that one thing they were similar (except Quill did it because she asked him to, not for his own plans/goals)
Leaving the theater that first weekend was like a funeral procession. People stunned into silence, people crying, and people in solemn disbelief. And yes, we had to wait an entire year to see how it would play out.
lmao manchildren
"I'm confused why Hulk can't Hulk in this movie..."
Simple: He got his ass handed to him by Thanos aboard Thor's ship. Hulk has been able to defeat everything anyone's ever thrown at him (with the possible exception of the Hulkbuster-armor). Hulk is basically suffering from a bit of PTSD after his smackdown by Thanos.
I was looking for it, yep another check mark. Female reactor - didn't get it. ✔️
Edit: ❤❤❤much love
And, he was suffering from harming civilians following the events of _Age of Ultron_ which is why he fled and ultimately ended up on Sakaar. Then he spent 3 years fighting in the Grandmaster's Arena on Sakaar unable to return to his Bruce Banner form. That was never explained but clearly Hulk has lots of issues.
Yeah, it’s a thing with boxers and fighters. When they are very strong and have only ever dominated or have close matches, and after they got their first REAL beat up, it gets to them and they get all shaky and insecure to got back in the ring again.
Yeah this hulk is basically a 4 year old in terms of life experience
I think it's also insinuated that having been Hulk for 2+ years in Sokovia/on Sakaar had an effect on him as well.
Gamora smiled because Peter pulled the trigger. He followed through on his promise.
The reason Thanos can turn blaster fire into bubbles, Drax into bricks, etc. is because he got the Reality Stone from The Collector before the Guardians arrived at Knowhere. He can use it to make reality whatever suits him by activating that stone. The red stone is always lit up (like they do with other stones on the gauntlet) when he's using it.
That reality stone is scary.
The scene with Hulk crashing into the Sanctum is actually pulled straight from the comic. In Infinity Gauntlet (1991), the Silver Surfer crashes into Doctor Strange’s Sanctum to warn about Thanos, while for this film it's Hulk. Adam Warlock then takes charge and leads Earth’s heroes against the Mad Titan, since Adam has yet to introduced in the MCU he's of course not in the movie. Another big difference is the snap. In the comic, it happens right at the very beginning of the story, while in the movie, it’s saved for the dramatic climax. Thanos’ motivations are also completely different. Comic Thanos wants to impress Mistress Death by wiping out half the universe, while MCU Thanos believes he’s saving the universe by doing the same thing.
The biggest change, though, is the lineup of characters. The Infinity Gauntlet comic features everyone from The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and more. The MCU, however, focuses mainly on the Avengers since Marvel didn’t have the movie rights to the X-Men or Fantastic Four at the time. Disney’s purchase of Fox in 2019 reverted those rights back to Marvel, meaning they can now freely use characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four. That’s how we’re getting Fantastic Four: First Steps in 2025 which will introduce Marvel's First Family into the MCU.
It’s worth noting that this movie isn’t based on the Infinity War comic (1992), but on Infinity Gauntlet (1991). The Infinity War storyline in the comics focused on The Magus, an evil version of Adam Warlock, who schemes to gain absolute power. That storyline brought together heroes and villains from across Marvel’s universe. Fun fact: the X-Men got a lot of spotlight back then since they were Marvel’s biggest stars in the early ‘90s. If you check out the Infinity War comic covers, you’ll see a massive lineup of characters, with the X-Men characters taking center stage. Doctor Doom, along with Galactus two iconic Fantastic Four villains were also major players in this storyline as well
Because the rights to Marvel characters were spread across different studios in the 2000s to 2010s many people introduced to Marvel by the MCU during this time had no idea that the X-Men or Fantastic Four were part of Marvel. For them, Marvel was synonymous with The Avengers and the MCU. As a comic fan, that’s wild to think about, but it makes sense, those X-Men and Fantastic Four films were completely disconnected from the MCU, so casual viewers wouldn’t associate them with Marvel, aka the MCU. Yet the X-Men, along with the Fantastic Four are so important to basically every Marvel crossover event in the comics.
This is more focused on the Thanos quest before infinity gauntlet story line where Thanos gathers the gems as infinity gauntlet starts with the snap.
One of the things that disappointed me about the MCU Infinity Stones, is how weak they are compared to the ones in the comics. In the comics, the Infinity Stones are absolute in their bailiwick. We all understand it was a narrative conceit, but the notion that the stones couldn't be used to just provide infinite supplies instead of killing half the people is laughable. Heck, you would only need the Reality Stone really - these aren't Dragonballs. They are will-less fundamental aspects of reality. Even the celestial beings like Eternity, the In-Betweener, Master Order, Lord Chaos and Galactus feared just one stone. Dead people could be brought back with just a thought with the full gauntlet, let alone just the reality and soul gem.
Also in the comics, the stones could be wielded by an ant, let alone a person, Titan or Celestial. The notion that their use is damaging or lethal was a new construct for the movies as an answer for why people don't just use them willy-nilly.
Wakanda isn't "just right there." You were right and the commenters are wrong.
There IS a hologram that makes it invisible, but it doesn't actually vanish. The hologram just makes it APPEAR as if nothing is there. This didn't work on the Children of Thanos because they were tracking Vision via the Mind Stone's energy, much like Tony and Bruce did with the Tesseract in the first Avengers film.
In the end credit scene of Black Panther, the United Nations knows that Wakanda exists, but think it's just a backwards nations of farmers because of the hologram
I saw this in theaters and man... when the snap happened it was nothing but stunned silence. As each character vanished, I could hear a few gasps. Particularly for bucky and groot. But when Spiderman dusted... this one girl a few rows back was full-on sobbing. It was such a wild experience. Usually people remember when the theater crowd erupts in applause... but the reaction to the ending of this movie is something I'll never forget.
When I watched this in the theater and Spiderman started saying he didn't feel so good, I started bawling my eyes out. His Spidey-Sense let him feel it coming!
I watched this in a theater on opening night. It was a packed house. When the movie ended people were sobbing in the theater . When we walked out it was in silence, like walking out of a funeral.
I remember seeing this in the theatre, as a comic reader knowing the general direction the story was going, and it was something I'll never forget. The entire crowd just went silent aside from a couple people crying. Nobody could believe it. People were just staring off into the distance like they had PTSD. It's very rare that a movie can end a story on the villain winning, and they NAILED it.
Having read the comics, I had a grin on my face seeing others reactions of grief and disbelief.
I think I helped my comic friend by reminding him what Dr. Strange said. "1 in 14million603 or something" is how I said it.
I hate that Thor doesn’t mention The Warriors Three when he talks about the people he cares about that he lost. They are the three musketeers of Asgard (Volstag, Fandral, Hogun). They deserve better.
I just like to think about Zachary Levi thinking, "Yes! I'm going to be in the MCU!"
All just to get skewered in an instant.
@@cctomcat321 Zachary was in Thor: The Dark World and had a bigger role.
This movie is the MCU masterpiece!
It is absolutely incomplete without Avengers: Endgame (which was originally subtitled Infinity War Part 2 - the title was changed mainly because of how very different they are tonally), but I hold this as the stronger film technically speaking, and the true achievment of what Kevin Feige set to pull off.
yea imo this is the best Marvel movie by a long shot Thanos is such a good villain and u can see the reasons for his actions as bad as they seem i just dont like End Game as much because i dont like how they were able to resolve it
I loved how it all came together. Like really cohesive.
We knew Endgame was to come. We just had to wait a year.
Shanelle: I can't believe we lost 2 main characters in the first 10 minutes.
Later...
Shanelle: If anyone dies, it'll be Vision.
Me: 😬
21:55 she smiled because Quinn kept his promise (even if it didn’t work)
*Quill 😁
This is exactly right
P.S. The CGI for Thanos is impeccable!!!
(Also, "Thanos will return" is the most baller move they could have done.)
Norse Myth Loki is also a flip-flopper. Every time the other Asgardians think they can trust him, he lets them down.
I remember sitting in the cinema at the end of this movie, and thinking “WHAT JUST HAPPENED “ was in total disbelief and kept saying “NO”. Then had to wait like FOREVER to see Endgame.
As a comic fan, I knew pretty much that Thanos would win. I still enjoyed the hell out of the film. Seeing the bad guy win is so rare that I was still surprised they did it. Seeing other peoples reactions was the most fun part.
Also a comic fan. Knowing what was going to happen if not how they would fix it and seeing people's reactions in the theater and as we left was priceless. I don't know if it was better to know about the snap or not, but seeing everyone shocked and crying at the was great.
It's always fun explaining to non-comic people how much they reduced Thanos' and the gauntlet's power. In the MCU, the heroes are able to put up a bit of a fight, but in the comic they are literal playtoys. Thanos fights all of the cosmic entities at the same time and freaking wins. It might be the most insane feat in Marvel comics to date.
Could you imagine how much darker this movie would have been if they used the comic accurate reason for the snap?
Enjoy the experience. Ignore the comment section on Captain Marvel. Take a break after Endgame. There are good Phase 4/5 projects but the quality varies and you’ll burn yourself out.
All three points are good advice. Phase 4/5 have some legit good stuff but the mid drags it down and hurts more if you don’t give yourself a break. And then there’s Secret Invasion.
Agreed x 3
We don't talk about Invasion.
Agreed on all points. Ignorant people ( MCU fans unfamiliar with the comic books... ) unjustly disparage Captain Marvel. I knew way back after the first Avengers movie that they'd have to bring in Captain Marvel. A baddie like Thanos requires a serious power level character.
The best iron man suit up to me was the briefcase in iron man 2.
Some of us knew what was coming because this is an established comic storyline. There are differences in how things happened, but it's mostly all there. Mostly we wondered how the MCU would do it, rather than how it happened in the comics. I saw this at a theater in Las Vegas. When the credits rolled, silence. Everyone just walked out.
Shanelle, I have a couple names you can go by when watching the MCU. You can either go with, Thanelle or Shanos.
Saw this in the theater with my son - it was a spectacular film, full of amazing moments. And a crushing film full of lass and sacrifice. I think someone else commented with something that was perfect - "it was like walking out of a funeral"
tears. silence. and a feeling of bonding with everyone in the theater of that loss.
At the end of Spiderman Homecoming, remember Tony offered Peter to be an Avenger and he rejected the offer.. Pepper and Tony decided to announce their engagement because they had gathered a big press conference announcement that was supposed to be a new member of the Avengers, but Peter declined..
21 movies before this one, that all set this movie up perfectly. One of the greatest achievements in cinema history. People were definitely crying at the end in the theater. A lot of people walked out in shock.
The years waiting between the theatrical release of Civil War and Infinity War felt like an eternity.
Remember, we went one entire year between these movies. At the end of the movie, no one moved or made a sound. Everyone knew there would be an end-credit scene, and everyone was seeking any hope. The music score was just haunting during the end credits. I think it was important to confirm to everyone during the end-credit scene that this was happening everywhere. Yes, when Fury dropped that pager that symbol was recognizable. I expect that these films will be re-released prior to the next Avenger's films. I would recommend you try to catch a screening with an audience.
One thing that I think they really nailed especially well in Infinity War is the balance of weight/darkness with enough moments of humor. It doesn’t so much “lighten the mood” overall, it’s still an incredibly dark storyline by comic movie or overall action movie standards of constant defeats and a sense of sliding down toward doom. It’s more of a relief valve to let even more of that darkness actually sink in (unless you just go hard on the denial like some do, I guess).
Just in general, whether it’s real life or film/stories, people’s ability to process things like grief/fear gets saturated and they start to readjust and be more numb to it as it goes on. Sometimes the numbness can go so far as to just overall disconnect from the rest of the story. Writers/filmmakers have found you can push up to the edge of that saturation, though, and if you instead give the audience even a small break with humor/hope you can keep pushing further down without that numbness.
When I saw this in the theatre it was silent at the end and people left very quietly. This film probably sparked the most "what's going to happen in the next film?" discussions of any film I've seen. It was a long year to wait.
I remember saying “I’m feeling a bit low, so I’ll go and watch an Avengers movie to cheer up” - Avengers Infinity war…
The small miniature detail of "I've always hated that chair"..... Sits on the step.
I've never been in a theater watching a movie where everyone was cheering, screaming, and crying. 🤯🤯
I will never get why people blame Peter for hitting Thanos, but they never blame Gamora, who gave up the Soul Stone to protect someone that spent most their live trying to kill her. Peter was going to kill Gamora because she asked him to
Family is a complicated thing. Gamora understood her sister by the end of volume 2, she didn’t want to cause her anymore pain. Peter acted out of emotion. That stopped them from getting all 4 stones at a critical moment. Gamora giving away the location was a toss up. Even if Thanos knew the location, he wouldn’t have been guaranteed the stone. It was a happy accident that he needed her at that moment so he could get the Soul stone.
@@stevenperez845 Yeah but giving him the location made it a lot easier to get it. She knew what he was like, so she should have know even giving him the general location was stupid
In the theater it was quiet at the end. I could hear one or two people sobbing. The rest of us were in shock.
Children were sobbing at Gamora's death scene.
This Peter quill moment started Chris Pratts public perception decline, I swear it.
😂😂 agreed.
Haha you may be onto something. Pretty sure this was long before any stories about his family life got out, the dirt on the church he attends, his Twitter/insta follows got out there and people started getting annoyed at his voice castings.
I like the confirmation at the end, that this was really a Thanos movie and we were following the "bad guys". Thanos was the protagonist of this story, and this was the story of how he succeeds and beats those trying to stop him. The end screen saying "Thanos will return", is a nod to this.
People were bawling in the theaters.
I went opening night. The theater was dead silent minus one little girl dressed as Gamora who was quietly crying. It was such a wild moment, people feeling dread and unease about the characters in the MCU. Glad I got to experience that.
@@CrowTRobot It was eerily silent for mine too. I do have to say, as much as I think they really did something great with these 2 movies it felt like they overplayed their hand a bit. To be clear, I’m being careful not to spoil anything beyond this… I am ONLY talking about what I thought walking out of this movie:
I wasn’t anything like where her reaction is for fully denying it all… it felt like a very heavy slog of loss after loss and seemed pretty explicit that Loki and Gomorrah were “actually” gone. That said, to me they killed too many of the wrong characters at the snap to believe for a second it could be real at the time. Shauna mentions it being a lot of the newer characters when the weight was sinking in more for her, but it was the opposite for me. These defeats were a big moment to let go of some of the older characters that overshadow any attempt to do something new so I would’ve believed some of them going but I didn’t believe they’d dump all their newer (to the current movies/actors) and very popular characters like Spider-Man, basically the entire Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther at the same time. Not saying it was a bad decision, though. It does really nail down just how heavy of a defeat it is in that moment whether you think some will come back or not.
I remember a sort of stunned silence at the end of the film, in the cinema I was in.
At the end of seeing this in the theater for the first time (it was an early showing, so there weren't a lot of people in the first place), NO one was saying a word when leaving the theater. Not. A. Whisper. However, most of us did know we had Endgame coming up (we didn't know the title yet, but knew the follow-up had been filmed back-to-back with Infinity War. Plus, a lot of us had seen set photos of what was coming, and Gweneth Paltrow and said some things on a late night talk show that seemed like spoilers for a movie that definitely _wasn't_ Infinity War). And yes, two things stood out almost immediately: First, killing off Spider-Man and Black Panther raised a lot of eyebrows and was basically hinting to the audience not to give up hope. And second, that it was mostly the original Avengers left after the snap. Both of those things you, yourself, noticed; I'm just saying I'm pretty sure we were supposed to.
I remembered taking my niece to see this in the theater and that finale ending, when we all walked out, you could almost hear a pin drop, that's how quiet and in disbelief we were.
There ARE(were?) two matching Infinity Gauntlets.
Thanos has the left hand gauntlet, and Odin had the matching right hand gauntlet in his treasure vault (though it had fake Infinity Gems in it, because the only Infinity Stone in Odin's possession was the Space Stone (Tesseract)...........unless you count the Power Stone (the Ether) which they briefly had too, but the deemed it too powerful and dangerous to store near the Tesseract, so they sent it to The Collector).
The "Infinity Gauntlet" that you saw the dwarves have on Nidavellir is just the mold for making Infinity Gauntlet parts.
Please consider the original Planet of the Apes films from the 60s and 70s 🙏
After I saw this movie I was both happy and sad. Happy because many characters I didn't like got disappeared but sad because I knew they will be back in End Game.
The scene at the end when Cap catches Thanos' fist and, using all his strength, is able to push it back to Thanos' bewildered amusement is one of my favorite moments in all of the MCU.
so the '14 million possibilities but only winning 1' isn't strange seeing EVERY outcome possible. He was just searching as many possibilities as he could before finding one that worked. They were out of time so he had to stop looking
I saw this in theaters. Nobody moved during the credits. Everyone was in shock. As the credits ended the guy next to who was a complete stranger asked if I was okay. All I could say was “I don’t know”
One thing I did know when the movie was released (and for months beforehand) is that "Infinity War" would be Part 1 of a two-part story. Marvel Studios also announced which two movies would be released between Part 1 and Part 2, and what would come after. To me, this seemed like a wee bit of a spoiler. I would have changed the order slightly to preserve the surprise.
I always figured Hulk was just too scared/traumatized to come out. Not sure if there's another reason?
I think that’s what they intended. He went from never being beaten/needing to fear anything to first Ultron, after which he ran away to another planet he had nothing to fear on and was all but worshipped for his power. Then not even able to put up a fight against Thanos. The Hulk part of Banner, built from his rage, was taught to fear and didn’t know how to handle it.
probably pissed to be back on earth, too. He was king for a few years on sakaar
Shanelle, we knew it was supposed to be two parts - but - we weren’t sure of the name(s). I think it was leaked to be Infinity War - Parts I & II. We heard Part II was to be name “End Game” shortly after this one was released.
Glad you enjoyed it and had the same “wait-a-minute!” reaction we all did afterwards.
I went and saw this in theaters with a friend of mine, it was a very quiet ride home because we were in shock
Nice. Now this was a theatre experience. Having been a lifelong comic book nerd, I knew how it would end but it was amazing how silent the theatre was when this ended. My 2 nephews were trying to hide their tears, looking to me to explain. Truly magical. My alltime number 2 MCU movie.
Saw it in cinema with the family. The emotion and hype was vibrant, it was a strange collective experiance. Everyone was in chock after. When it ended the room was dead quiet for the hole credit, I will never forget it. We did not know were marvel was going with this at all.
Basically, what we have left at this point are the original Avengers, plus a couple on the side.
And we might not consider these high cinema, but nobody can deny the dialogue is super snappy, and that's entertaining. It's a parade of tropes, and somehow it works.
It has come down to this. All of the previous films will be tied together in this one epic film.
Thanks, Shanelle! 🟣🟡🔴🔵🟠🟢
I went to see it in theaters a few days after it came out. After the end of the movie, it was such a somber ambiance, everyone was sad, nobody was talking, I had never been a part of a movie audience like that.
Like I understand where Thanos is coming from. Finite resources on struggling planets means they all will suffer and die eventually. But his idea to just remove half the people is one of the stupidest ways to resolve it. He has basically limitless power. He could just make those resources regenerate like this is some MMO. Also fun fact in the comics Thanos had MUCH more shallow reasons for doing this. He was in love with lady death and wanted to court her. So he wiped out half the universe to try and win her love.
Oddly, there are people who think like Thanos in the real world, and as you said, the solution is to "make more pie" not to "reduce pie eating". The "regenerating resources" concept isn't really that far fetched either. We know that energy can be converted into matter and we've even done it. So, if we can harness lots of energy, we can generate resources as needed. Doom and gloomers need to be put in a corner.
Also it doesn't actually solve the problem, it just pushes it into the future. he stunts the growth sure, but he does nothing to make any permanent change to the proportion resources v population growth. He could have adjusted how much resources each individual needa. He could have adjusted how much resources each individual WANTS. He could have adjusted birth rates. There are a million different things he could have done to actually solve the problem.
So yeah, I agree this was one of the absolutely dumbest ways to solve the problem.
You people seem to forget that Thanos is insane. His thought process isn't rational.
@@Eidlones We know. We are, however, quite weirded out by the number of people who seem to think Thanos had some kind of point or that his solution was in any way, shape or form reasonable.
I mean, I get that a lot of them are just doing it for shits and giggles, but that doesnt make them seem less weird.
We knew there was a sequel coming in a year, we just didn't know the name.
Saw this one in theaters. There was a lot of laughing at the bi jokes. Huge cheers when Thor got his axe...and stunned silence at the end. Not a peep in the room when the credits hit.
There was nothing but silence in the movie theaters at the end of this movie. Silence and tears.
I went to a showing of a new film in the theater and it had closed captioning. It was awesome.
All the OG avengers were left. :)
With so many great things in this movie, the casting of Peter Dinklage, possibly the world's most famous short people and actor, as a giant was just brilliant. xD
I consider this that last truly perfect MCU film, and this was such an event. I brought my siblings out to watch, and by the end, the theater was SILENT. what an experience ❤
When I saw this I didn’t leave my room for an entire year until end game came out …. And then after seeing end game I didn’t leave my room until 2023
Some of us did know coming out of the theater because I think they filmed Infinity War and Endgame either together or back to back. Plus, there had been talks about sequels for some characters and stuff so we were like, "They wouldn't do that!" And then they did, lol.
The original avengers survived the snap
They had an entire committee to work on the continuity for this film, and how it connects to others. In the comics that was Stans’s job to make sure that continuity was preserved. The comic book industry even invented a term called Retcon. Retroactive continuity to rewrite a past event just enough to make a tie into some new storyline that hadn’t been properly connected yet. They’ve been trying to avoid doing that in the Marvel movies by planning things out carefully.
The hardest part about watching this in theaters was knowing we had to wait a YEAR to find out what happened next.
The best bit as a comic reader once it was clear they'd actually do the snap (it's Disney, after all; the snap was _a bit_ more serious than killing Bambi's mum) was watching (and hearing, in the theatre) the reactions of movie-only fans, who weren't expecting an MCU film where the heroes didn't win (much less a loss and decimation of this calibre). The movie was great. The reactions were even better.
I think most of us knew most of the characters would be back. The general consensus was, anyone that died pre snap was dead and everyone else will be back. Endgame is a very worthy pay off and I’ve been really excited for that video
35:14 I love that moment of the two greatest/noble leaders in the Marvel Universe running to be the first on the frontlines of battle.
One correction on what Shan said about Endgame, we did know it was coming when this movie came out. I believe their titles (and maybe release dates) were announced at the same time. What I don't remember is how many other characters' movie sequels had also been announced before Endgame released.
We are finally here
this is the only film ive seen at a midnight premier. it was my senior year of HS, the night before my senior prom. the theater was dead silent at the end, it felt so hopeless. i can vividly remember walking out of the theater sick to my stomach, like a zombie
Part of the what you mentioned was true about not knowing what was going to happen in the future movie but it was more about the details not the outcome. This was a major event in the comics where it affected the universe. The difference between the movie and the comics was the actual reason why Thanos was doing what he did. In the comics he was in love with Lady Death and he did the snap to appease her by giving half of the life of the universe to her. This was hinted at the first time we saw Thanos in the end credits scenes of the early movie but was later changed because we wasn’t introduced to Lady Death yet and her character might not have been understood or even hard to comprehend. So they changed the reasoning of Thanos. At this period of time Captain America wasn’t going by this name he was going by the name of Nomad. This wasn’t really gone into but in the comics there was a short time where he was not going by the name of Captain America and was using this alias called Nomad. This was his alias in the movie but not actually mentioned but us comic book readers knew it. The issue with the Hulk is a little more complex in the books there was a whole thing of split personality and and stuff. It might be addressed in future projects so it’s not really necessary to go into it at this point.
My absolute favorite MCU film! Happy you finally made it! This made for a great 2am diner run with my friends afterwards. There was so much to talk about, and waiting a whole year for any kind of follow-up was crazy!
Vibranium came from a meteor that struck Africa. It’s a metal, but like many metals, it made its way into the plant life of the area (much like iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium).
Aww, snap... we're here.
This was the last MCU movie I got to see with my dad before he passed 🥺 changed the MCU for me forever
As a taxi driver I was tasked with taking a large group of young girls (16/17) to the cinema to see this, before I had been myself, I knew that I was going to collect them afterwards and there were rumours of a main character death so I swore them to complete silence when I came to collect them. When they came out of the cinema they were all sobbing very loudly, I thought it can’t be that bad but I was wrong and very much stayed for end credits to dry my eyes before leaving 😂
I will say this movie is written by 5 people, the 2 writers, russo brothers and Kevin Fiege, unless they all are happy things won't get executed.
There was a pre-production teaser of infinity war in which kevin says we wanted the avengers to face something un-prepared and would lose if they are not together and that's why we made civil war before infinity war to tear the avengers apart.
In the age where everything gets leaked nobody knew what the next movie title will be, even when the first trailer for endgame dopped the title is not mentioned in the video name, you have to watch the trailer in which at the end they reveal the Title Avengers: Endgame
I would really recommend watching that teaser, because that really sets up the tone and tension of the movie (they do a thing with music a heart beat music), I mean it really helps to take out from the giggling phase and watching the movie with the impact.(of course watch it after ant-man and the wasp)
Right before Quill loses it, if I were Stark I'd have Parker knock Quill on his ass and webbed him from head to toe because they were sooooo close to getting the gauntlet off of Thanos hand.
that obviously happened in at least one of the 14 million instances.
I think you're the first person who called out Gamora smiling and not the fact that Thanos said he liked Peter
Much as some might moan about Hulk getting beaten by Thanos in a fight it does rather make sense. Up to this point Hulk has never had to fight someone just as strong as he is. He's always the big guy taking down the puny little ants with no effort. So as soon as he goes up to someone just as strong as himself and that someone knows how to fight he has no idea what to do
As much as I understand Hulk not wanting to fight, someone really should have just shot Banner in the back. Hulk would have no choice but to come out.
We speculated for a year on how they were going to bring everyone back. Comic book fans knew what the symbol in the pager meant.
18:57 "I AM YOUR MOTHER NOW, LITTLE ONE"- Thanos
Dead silence in the theater when it was over, and a feeling like I'd just watched Shindler's List again. The Snap did kill half of all living creatures, but the Random Number Generator killed well over half of the Avengers, plus a few that Thanos had already killed. He really could have killed more if he'd been trying, but in most of the movie, he was using only as much power as needed to win.
The comics the vision and the scarlet witch were a thing for a long time and for a lot of us fans that was the comic book romance that we love the most cause they were both such outsiders, a witch and an android. The love had to be true because it was not about social convenience or marriage or family or anything
At this point in 2018, we knew that there was going to be an Avengers 4 (didn't know the name yet) and we knew there was going to be a Spider-Man movie after that. So, yeah, a lot of people had a tough time believing that they were all really dead.
It is funny, at the beginning, when you were so hyped up and ready to watch the Avengers, I thought oh that mood is going to change.
We knew at the time that this movie came out that there was going to be another movie, but it still did not lessen the impact. I remember sitting in my chair stunned like somebody had hit me with a bat with tears in my eyes in fact, just re-watching with with you, my eyes welled up a bit when Spiderman was saying I don't want to go.
We knew there was a second part to the story BUT we didn’t know Thanos was going to actually win! We assumed it would be a traditional two parter where there wouldn’t be a resolution to the main story. The shock was it was all resolved and Thanos won. We could not imagine how the story would go from here.
Don’t ever forget that force Fields and lasers and all these other tech weapons they simply move and work at the speed of the plot. We’re not given the parameters of these devices exactly so they fit the storyline real science fiction would give you precise parameters so you could logically work out what might happen
Re Cap's beard and Widow's blond hair: They (and Sam, and Sharon Carter) went into hiding following the events of Civil War, as they were wanted for violating the Sokovia Accords.
Your reaction of the ending is what we all felt at the end of this movie. As seeing this in IMAX in anticipation as a Marvel fan it was top tier cinema for me. It had been a long time since the full theater experience was this amazing. Not just because of the movie but the people reacting in the theaters. You’re all left in denial at the end itching to see Endgame to know how this even ends. I loved it every moment but I can say it only gets better.
As for points in the video. Wakanda’s shield both hides and protects Wakanda from the outside world because of its technology and Vibranium. The effects flying in is either a code or specific entry point to end in by aircraft.
The final scene with Nick Fury was a reference toward Captain Marvel’s symbol which leads into the next movie before Endgame. Oh and keep in mind fans had to wait another year.
Extra note: Josh Brolin was Cable in Fox’s Deadpool 2. Deadpool calls him Thanos and One Eyed Willy (Goonies).
Sony messed up on this when Infinity War came in The theater by announcing the release date for Spiderman 2, spoiling the full severity. We knew some of them would be saved in the upcoming Endgame, just didnt know who and how.
Infinity War is the Hero story Arc for Thanos. The wait for Endgame was really long..
The Hulk refused to come out because he was bootty hurt about losing a straight-up fight for the first time.
