Infinity War Avengers: Infinity War SPOILER User Review Thread

[Iceman]

Kinda wondered what happen to Valkyrie, not sure it this was mentioned I forgot. Would have to like to see what happened at Nova Corp when Thanos received the power stone as well but that would have been a long movie.

I want to see everything like this but I think they probably thought they were on the verge of the runtime limit that they wanted. As for Valkyrie, one possibility is that they might not have wanted to commit on what has happened to her so they can later decide where best to place her without being restricted. (just a thought)

I have a feeling Valkyrie was from the half that survived possibly with Korg as well.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Does anyone know if they filmed anything for Xandar? I think that would be the only thing I would maybe want to see that was not in the movie.

I have a feeling we will learn where Valkyrie and co are next film.

 

[legendkillin]

That’s not true. Just from talking to people at work today (who haven’t seen the movie yet) most of them had no idea there were going to be two movies. A few of them didn’t even realize the movie came out last night.

Just because more people are online, it doesn’t mean they’re following these films so closely.

Yeah a couple of people I talked to didn't realize another movie was coming and so soon.

I loved how they highlighted the difference between Stark & Strange. While most think they are copies of each other, it's clear that Strange is far wiser and restrained than Tony ever was.

 

[SteveRogers41]

And you might be right... but Spidey will definitely play a pivotal role, and at the end of the film, he’ll be positioned as the main guy going forward.

Because, you know... he’s Spider-man.

Love Spider-Man and not arguing against the fact that he's Marvel's most profitable character of all-time, but what I would like to point out, however, is that Marvel still doesn't actually own his film rights. His inclusion within the MCU is entirely contingent on Sony's willingness to extend their contract with Disney beyond what they've already signed for. As such I don't think they'd make him the main guy going forward. In fact, I think that Fiege is going to shy away from having anyone being THE central person going forward. Which Feige stated early on, back when IW was in early production. That phase 4 would a) more cosmic and b) not deal with ensemble films so much as unusual team-ups, like Ragnarok.

So Luke Cage season 2 is coming up in a couple months....

Are they even going to try to address how half the worlds population disappeared in an instant orrrrrr.....

Don't get your hopes up.

My guess is that the Luke Cage season while take place prior to Thanos' invasion.

Helps that Strange has all the knowledge at his feet. I saw Quill and Stark more as the same than Strange and Stark. Quil and Stark are both emotional and do things based on the moment. It was Quill's own plan but the moment he found out about Gamora the emotions took over.

I think they were out using the Grandmaster ship. Either way one or two of them are gone from the snap.

 

[Iceman]

I really liked the plan, especially finishing off with Strange opening a portal to drop Mantis right on top of him. That whole sequence was really inventive I thought.

 

[legendkillin]

Seems like those Netflix shows are stuck in phase 2. They only ever seem to mention Battle of NY. Though if I recall I think they mentioned Cap being a fugitive now so they at least caught up to Civil War.

In Iron Fist it would be cool if Rand himself was one of those that disappeared from the snap!

 

[Dark Raven]

In an interview, I think Jed Whedon said it would be acknowledged somehow.

If they do acknowledge it, then they're really stuck when it comes to explaining how the disintegrated people come back to life. Do they not explain it for a year?

Of course, it depends on what the acknowledgement is. Maybe it's just that the confederacy aliens are bracing themselves for an attack by Thanos. But they don't show any of the disintegration at all. In which case, why does none of that happen?

And if people do disintegrate, but Daisy cracks apart the planet, then there's no chance of beating Thanos unless the AOS change the timeline.

But what if the timeline that the AOS want (where the planet doesn't crack apart) is not the timeline/scenario that Dr Strange wants where they are able to beat Thanos? Then they're all doomed either way.

At this point, the ending of Infinity War made it difficult for any Marvel TV show to be set after May 2018 and before May 2019. So they can't acknowledge any dates in these shows.

Does that mean that it's still either 2017 or early 2018 in all shows going forward (eg Cloak and Dagger, Luke Cage season 2, DD season 3 etc)?

And what about AOS season 6? That's really the difficult one, unless of course they are cancelled (which would probably be the best solution as far as reconciling the storylines go).

Honestly, I think they just won't assign specific dates so they can say it took place prior to IW or after Avengers 4, that way it wasn't relevant to those stories. I think only AoS will say anything about it. Honestly, I think we're over-complicating it, LOL! Just take the shows at face value. Call them out only if they present contradictory information.

It didn't occur to me until today that they basically had the two Sherlock Holmes's trading intellectual barbs. Lol.

I did crack up hard to the disturbed look Tony had at StarLord's stupidity on Titan. Peter's reaction was also pretty funny. Lol.

I like Danny Rand.

Are they going to have Martin Freeman in Avengers 4 alongside them?

And what about Jude Law? Normally Mar-Vell is pretty integral to a Thanos story. Shouldn't they include him? I know Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel will be there, but what about Mar-Vell? Unless he dies in the CM movie.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe Scott Buck's Inhumans also disappeared too.

Although it would've been useful if Blackbolt had been there in the battle against Thanos.

Medusa wouldn't have been of much use though. Thanos would've just compared shaven heads with her.

 

[glrush]

I don't know that if I "like" the movie as much as I was impressed by it. Don't get me wrong, there were many parts of the movie I loved like scene with Thor forging Stormbreaker and the Wakanda battle but some of the scenes were pretty dark and brutal and tough to sit through. But, give Marvel some credit here....they resisted the bromide of our powerful guy kills the villain and the end. They made the movie mean something in that it is pretty clear some of people are dead. I think it took some chances and they paid off.

It is not a perfect movie, but there are some pretty perfect spots.

9/10

 

[The Riddler]

can someone explain to me why doctor strange didn't use the time stone throughout the film? or is it because the writers couldn't think of a way thanos could ever even get close to winning if strange actually used the stone as he had in his own film...

Thanos had 4 of the stones at that time. The little spell would not have protected the stone from Thanos. Also it probably would have been easier to take and Thanos would have just killed them anyways. Keeping the stone away allowed for a bargain.

 

[legendkillin]

Wonder if those Runaway kids or the parents would get snapped? I like the Runaways though but wouldn't mind it. Show never mentioned any MCU stuff.

Strange said that he used the time stone to go forward and see 14 million versions of how the Infinity War ends, and only one has the heroes winning. I think one of the versions Strange must have seen, he did use the Time Stone and the result was the same - they all fail no matter what.

He did use it....he used it to explore 14 million different scenerios of how to defeat him....and found only one that worked.
