Avengers: Infinity War

lol I was joking I know the endgame isn’t real

it's like the world is being made into a shitty videogame that you can't even play, just watch mutely so that you are capable of making wikipedia edits if so called

Okay, I am completely pro these movies, but this was beautiful.

when world president Xi Jping has finally taken over this dying planet, all traces that this garbage ever existed will be burned and forgotten as the last pathetic wheezing death throes of a dying, degenerate empire that long since should have been nuked;)

my god

It was you all along

you’re Thanos

no , I'm desperate unfunny dan!

once again:

lol wins

just saw endgame

if you’re at all invested in these movies i don’t think you’re gonna be at all disappointed

Saw IW (for the first time) and Endgame last night as a double bill. Endgame def the better of the two movies but the two nicely contrasted in tone while still complementing each other.

Pleased that Nebula finally got a decent amount of screen time. No other spoilers from me yet but I do want to know which horse Old Lunch is backing for the Derby.

I’ve been trying to watch Infinity War on Netflix for a few weeks but I can only get through a bit at a time because it keeps going to all animation and I realise three minutes later that I’m not watching anymore

And I can’t watch it after dark because the sound mix is so incredibly bad that I have to crank the TV up from its normal position of 30 to over 80 to hear any of the dialogue, but then all the fighty & music bits are so loud that I assume it’s annoying the neighbours and have to turn it off. Shit’s worse than 2010-2016 Doctor Who.

itt: home cinema troubleshooting

we have the technology

must b nice

weird... I watched it on Netflix a couple nights ago and it was fine. the comedy bits are really gold.

If you're at all invested in these movies, that was a pretty impressive and excellent way to bring things to a close.

The three hours absolutely flies by.

yeah

it def helps that the middle hour is like a really fun little mini-movie in its own right

can we start doing spoilers itt now pls

yes but only so you can tell me if there's actually a Leftovers nod or if the Slant guy made that up

i haven’t seen the leftovers or read the slant piece In question but i’m gonna say yeah, sure, why not

It's just like the avengers you'd like it

cool i’ll check it out thx for the rec

Most of it feels like a quirky spy caper

yeah

it def helps that the middle hour is like a really fun little mini-movie in its own right

can we start doing spoilers itt now pls

give it til Sunday or open an Endgame spoiler thread

i dunno why any sane person who didn’t want spoilers would be itt post-release tbh but I guess i can wait to share my glittering insights a bit longer

give it until Sunday because... people are going to look at the thread to speculate about what the movie is about or just chat box office receipts? seems silly, just talk about the movie or don’t click on the thread maybe

definite Leftovers vibe btw

this was fun and, as stated above, an actually p dece finish to this whole spectacle

liked the [MILD SPOILER] heist elements

That was a whole lotta avengin’. Pretty great of course. Yes to Leftovers nod.

Nice (and non spoilery): Google 'Thanos' and click on the Infinity Gauntlet

black widow dies, this movie kind of sucks, so you do if you get angry at this post

aren't people getting out of the movie screening at this moment

wasn't expecting that Funky Flashman cameo

Can't believe Captain Thor was defeated by Thanus

wasn't expecting that Funky Flashman cameo

And you call yourself a fan.

Good lord.

One exhibition source says that the amount of business that Avengers: Endgame is doing “is ridiculous”. Off of 9AM shows alone today, big venues like the AMC 25 Empire in NYC is making $175K, NYC Lincoln Square counts $161K, Regal E-Walk has $78K while the Edwards Irvine is seeing $145K. Industry estimates are seeing $130M-$140M for today including $60M. “I don’t see how the pic doesn’t get to $300M-plus,” said one rival distribution exec.

Looks like it may well hit that billion dollar opening.

just got back from seeing…I very much liked that they took their time in the first hour, whereas I.W. hurtles from one plot point to the next…

Yeah would definitely agree -- I don't mind IW's nonstop pace but having this one start in a quiet aftermath and continue from there was sharp.

look i can’t hold it in any longer so prepare to be spoiled if you haven’t seen it already

the end of cap’s arc was perfect and i loved every beat of it but jesus fuck couldn’t they have found a way to age up chris evans so he didn’t look like joe biden

B+ series finale, A+ fan service. I liked it!

Still don't know what Scar Witch does. Where was William Hurt in this?

apparently Jim starlin was in it? didn't see him. I had to chuckle during battle royale when Iron Gwynnie appears…

I suppose, given that this puts a temporary cap on the MCU decade, that I don't dig that they would use a character for their own, unsuitable purposes…Mantis was not conceived as a space naif, she was conceived as a (now NAGL) deadly Vietnamese sex worker. Drax was used inappropriately as well. They could have made up new characters for such purposes…

Starlin's in the group therapy scene Cap's in shortly after the 'five years later' jump. (One of the Russos is the guy doing most of the talking.)

Can I also add how satisfying it was to go into an event movie of this scale still somehow totally in the dark? I did a good job avoiding everything, including this thread, and it definitely helped and played well from that vantage.

Obv. plenty of Hawkeye in this, and didn't really want more, but for the sake of the story I still thought his character kinda got short shrift.

speaking of short shrift, it was kinda weird that captain marvel’s role was basically superfluous after the buildup of infinity war and her own movie

was there a post-credits scene? i left

@FilmBart 3m
Wait, so the movie with a distribution strategy of "carpet bomb every multiplex in the nation" is doing well? Oh, do tell.….…...

just a bit of clanging sound which i think was tony hammering together the iron man suit in the cave from the first movie xp

I feel such weariness at the knowledge that I have no interest in seeing this, yet will someday inevitably spend three hours of my life doing just that.

xpost Larson filmed this one first, right? I think they had to be careful with all these heroes billed as the most powerful beings in the universe or whatever. Maybe not a coincidence that much of this focused on the more traditionally human members of the team?

Stories from my pretty packed screening: there was some asshole who three times throughout the movie opened the emergency exit door to smoke, letting in cold air and all the cigarette smoke he thought he was blowing out. Dickhead. More amusingly, I literally realized I had to pee 10 minutes in. It must have been psychological. I don't know what I missed an hour or so in, but it couldn't have been much, because I don't think I really missed anything.

No credits sequence. I waited. People groaned.

Would I like this? Loved Spider-Man Homecoming, Antman and the Wasp and Thor:Ragnarok, lukewarm on Black Panther, Iron Man 3 and Doctor Strange and I found Infinity War a total drag.
