[QUOTE="OB1, post: 7407030, member: 6796241"] Thought it would be good to start a new thread specifically for those who have seen Avenger's Infinity War and want to discuss! So, in case you missed it in the thread title [B]***Spoilers! This thread is for people who have seen the movie and want to discuss*** [/B] My initial reactions, first the positive, * Lot's of great Tier IV level moments in the battles. * Lot's of great character interaction * All words are made up * Giant Dwarf! That's how you forge a freaking Legendary magic item! * I don't want to go... Now the not so positive * I thought Thanos was supposed to be smart. Yet neither his motivations nor his actions showed INT 20. Litch level this guy is not. And because his motivation is so silly, he doesn't come close to as good a villain as Loki, Ultron, Killmonger or Hydra. * It was a huge mistake not having Dr. Strange reveal the 1 way to win against Thanos to someone. By keeping that in the mystery box, it undercuts the deaths of every single character in the film, because you don't know if that is part of the plan or not. The minute Strange has the plan, the movie has to become a Heist Film to maintain narrative cohesion. Right now, I'm assuming that every single character killed in AIW will come back, and if some don't, that means that I won't really mourn them until the next film. It's weird. * And really, that leads me to this. Narratively, the film should have started in the third act. It's not interesting how Thanos get's the stones, it's interesting what the hero's have to sacrifice to eventually triumph over him. Cause, if you are going to do a time travel story, it should be that from the beginning. By starting in the third act and then seeing some of how Thanos gets the stones later in the film via time travel shenanigans, the structure of the film becomes much tighter and you can't be sure whether any death will be permanent or reversed via time travel.
