[QUOTE="OB1, post: 7412203, member: 6796241"] Great article. Articulated what I as trying to say about how silly Thanos’ plan is while also helping me to see that Thanos was indeed just crazy. Where I still think the film has a flaw though is in following Thanos’ motivation from seeing his world destroyed and thinking he knew the reason to why he believed there was a similar problem in the universe as a whole. I can see him seeking out individual planets where his bizarre view on overpop might come into play, but what has made him think that it’s a universe wide problem that will be solved if he acts now to reduce the population. Furthermore, that lack of connectivity in his motive leads to thematic issues with the film itself, as the MCU movies are largely about the right way to use power. We clearly see Thanos using power the wrong way, but how does that directly tie into the character choices of the Avengers? They didn’t create him, like with Ultron, nor did they allow him to come to existence because of anything they did wrong in their part. Are the Avengers in danger of following Thanos’ path? It doesn’t seem like the film was implying that. And for AIW to be a complete film on its own, we need to know. Imagine ESB where Vader doesn’t reveal himself to Luke. Wouldn’t that whole film feel like just a setup for the next? Because it would be missing its emotional climax. The moment that makes a film with a plot cliffhanger still have a complete thematic, character, and emotional story. And the killer thing is, after GotG2, DrS, Spidey, Ragnorock and especially Black Panther did such a great job of having emotionally resonant cores, it’s too bad AIW stepped back into being just a punch up comic book movie.
