Avengers: Infinity War

One less week to wait before we all get to go infinitying.

Apparently two and a half hours long. (How else are they going to show everyone.)

And one last trailer, things go boom, there is snark, etc.

i lold at the gag

Yeah, Dr. Strange getting clowned over his name will always be funny.

oddly unpsyched for this tbh

apparently this thing is coming out on my birthday, so my expectations are lower? even a half-assed gift is a nice gesture and I appreciate the effort

xpost Eh, it's not that odd, really. The Avengers flicks have been among the more underwhelming MCU entries imo.

I think the dilemma's similar to the comics -- any single threat you're thinking, didn't Iron Man take out one of these guys on his own in the last story? So the team movie ends up with such an outsized threat that the stakes for any individual character drop, and there isn't enough time to give anyone a real plot arc.

well they dumped out the whole bucket of action figures but it does look appropriately epic and suspenseful, some crazy looking villains and heroes-in-distress moments, ie fighting faceless CGI monsters will only be a small part of this plot.

i don't think it helps that it's coming so hot on the heels of black panther, a bona-fide cultural sensation - another couple of months without a marvel movie would be fine by me, honestly

definitely a weird vibe, now it's more like "want to see more Black Panther plus these other characters you kind of liked? drop by the theater in a few weeks!"

hopefully there will be some actual stakes involved with this one!

kind of think that these two infinity war movies are gonna be the end of RDJ as Tony Stark

Wonder how much work it would take to rebrand this as Black Panther 2: Infinity War.

I'm unsure why the nerd websites are so intent analyzing "what Thanos wants" when the only subplot of this thing that'll be interesting is the characters discovering what angry space dude wants

tbh I think this trailer halfway spoiled that, it's the classic infinity war thing -- too many people alive right now compared to the history of the universe, gotta kill half of em

the macguffin in the story makes whoever holds it a god so I expect some reboots and reshuffles on various hero fronts using the gauntlet as way to wave it off

yeah, it def seems like this would be the most sensible place to rejig things for the next phase of the mcu - seems kinda telling that they're holding off on revealing the title of the second part of this one, presumably because it's gonna be avengers: teen tony unleashed or something similar spoilery

Avengers: Heroes Reborn surely. Or The Liefeldening perhaps?

Avengers: DJP's Triumph

Avengers: Deemsnarok

lol what if the main purpose of the infinity gauntlet is to recast the avengers

"I have rewritten reality and Iron Man has always been... played by Robert Pattinson"

the title of the 2 infinity war movie will probably spoil the most important point of the 1st film: the Electric Boogaloo

Avengers: Shakey's Complaint

"Nobody likes this multimillion dollar ridiculously successful and widely praised franchise at all!"

"By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, such harsh words."

xpost 2 Aven 2 Gers

the movie ends when Thanos accidentally uses the infinity gauntlet to transform himself into Jonah Hex

and the whole MCU was merely prelude to the long-awaited Jonah Hex sequel

*movie ends, Deadpool appears*

"Did you buy it?"

which is set to be titled the league of extraordinary gentlemen 2: jonah hex vs catwoman

RIP Michael Fleisher

A tiny extra detail:

https://io9.gizmodo.com/peter-dinklage-is-definitely-in-avengers-infinity-war-1823832569

Speculation is he's voicing a Black Order member.

I'm suddenly fearful of the ill-advised introduction of Pip the Troll to the MCU.

Cap has been my favorite MCU character until BP came along. Now fresh off BP it's going to be almost painful to see a movie where Cap is the Team Leader when T'Challa is clearly his equal as a leader in every way.

Bringing the Guardians.. lot in for this. Fuck's that about?

For avenging.

So...got Thursday night opening tickets, come what may.

NUDE THANOS CONFIRMED

thought his face was wrinkly? we have news

xxxp Gamora and Nebula are Thanos's daughters, why would the GotG NOT be in this?

the fact that they're all in it is kind of the point...

The point I think is how many will be left when it's over. Marvel people have talked up their "next phase" ...

Guardian of the Galaxy

Avenger and a Half

the conclusion of these movies would be a swell time to introduce Dr. Doom.

He's part of the Fantastic Four deal so off limits iirc.

In fact, it seems Noah Hawley announced the other week he's making a Doom movie for Fox in the near-ish future.

GIVE ME DOOM

I thought the Disney/Fox deal gave them FF & X-Men finally

There were some rumors swirling that he'd put on the armor as Iron Lad in a Young Avengers spin-off.

Avenger: "If only we knew where Tony hid that last transponder tech doodad."
Random young guy at funeral: "I think I know a garage in Tennessee where we can find one ... "

Oof, insult to injury, I think the entire 6 paragraph wiki description of the Iron Man 3 plot doesn't even mention the kid once!
