Infinity War The Avengers: Infinity War The Official News and Speculation - - - - - - - - - - Part 25

Just depends what the 7 minutes was, might be superfluous and have reason to be but, might not.

Marvel do seem to be a little edit-heavy though, some films like the first Thor really could have used the extra/extended stuff on the home release, adds a lot to it.

Honestly, sort of hoping if anything's cut it's action scene stuff rather than th talk-y moments. The big third act spectacle stuff has been boring the **** out of me lately, really noticeably started to zone out on that stuff in Guardians 2, Homecoming and Black Panther. It's all the damn same.

Just hoping they keep as much of the actual substantive character moment stuff though, movies really suffer when you start slashing into that.

I know what you mean. Some haven’t been that engaging compared to other parts of the film. I don’t expect that to be the case with IW because we will be seeing something new and on a different scale with so many different characters we care about involved and collaborating, and the stakes higher. The Wakanda scene looks more promising than the final acts of a number of recent big films IMO.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, I mean all in all Infinity War's going to be something new & different at the very least, the sheer scale of the thing dwarfing anything so far.

I just...didn't give a **** about the big Wakanda battle at the end of BP. Y'know? The two waterfall fight were so much more enthralling - when you start getting into "15 minutes of endless CG effects, everything escalating bigger and flashier and LOOK AN EXPLOSION and now we cut back to two computer models butting heads" - that's the stuff you can edit down. Slash two or three minutes out of it and you lose nothing.

Intimate dialogue-heavy stuff, that tends to be the material you see on the DVD/Blu-Ray and wish was still in there.

What do you guys think of this

 

[Tg11]

As far as Infinity War I think it is almost inevitable that we will see Carol but either she will show up in the mid-credits or she will show up in the post-credits to build towards either her solo origin film or build towards her appearance in Avengers 4

 

[harlequinade]

What do you guys think of this

Spoiler

Thanos in Wakanda with 5 stones?

 

[Tg11]

We all know Infinity War will get high 90s maybe even 100 on Rotten Tomatoes that much is certain or inevitable

A movie like this is almost unheard of especially with all the magnitude, hype and press behind it

Lawd Conrad already wrote a whole post about that? What panic, where?

 

[Tg11]

Who thinks Cap's new shield looks more badass than his original star spangled shield that he has had for the better part of a decade?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I don't. It's not iconic like his classic shield.

 

[harlequinade]

Who thinks Cap's new shield looks more badass than his original star spangled shield that he has had for the better part of a decade?

It's a sexy, sexy shield

 

[WitcherGeralt]

Definately fits his look in Infinity war. Gotta enjoy all the punching from Cap now tho instead of throwing that OP shield all over the place

 

[Tg11]

Love Black Widow's new look as well with the grey hair well blonde hair it suits her

Having cleaned the wreckage up after a 'major' release (Casino Royale in 2006) I can vouch that 7 minutes is just about long enough to get your bin bag full of un-required coke and popcorn before the next showing rocks up.

I like her Civil War look more

 

[Cretaceous Clay]

Not for me.

 

[Tg11]

With Thor though, I wonder if he will have his cape and his full Asgardian outfit for this film?

 

[RoastBeast]

original shield, forever.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

We've already seen thors full get up in the trailers and merch

 

[RoastBeast]

Pretty much everyone but my great-grandmother is their target audience on this one. Lack of character moments and dialogue events in favor of too much wowza-cgi will cut down on repeat viewings from regulars. I'm more character-oriented than spectacle-oriented myself.

 

[KevTravels]

I want that 7 minutes...

I keep saying those 7mins are exclusively for the Chinese audience

 

[Infinity9999x]

I'd guess that the majority of comic book movie's target audience would prefer the large-scale-cgi than the dialogue or two waterfall fights.

I wouldn't necessarily bet on that. TDK's climax is people debating over pushing a button on boats while Batman fights some dogs and a few swat members. As far as climax's go, not the most visually stunning thing we've seen.

I think it all comes down to how well the climax is done. If it is a big budget SFX extravaganza, you really need to pull out the stops to make it look solid. But I will say, even in a film like Avengers, which had great CGI for it's ending battle, after the initial wow-factor of seeing that the first few times wore off, I don't find it all that interesting anymore. I prefer more character driven conflicts for final fights as well.

Rob Roy is a great example of this. The climax of that film is a sword fight. As far as sword fights go, it's not the flashiest sword fight you'll see by any means. However, the build of tension between the two men fighting has been done so well throughout the film that the entire last fight is a master class example of taking dramatic tension and realizing it through physical violence. It's also done in a style that's more realistic and grounded, which adds to the tension and sense of real danger in the scene.

I think it’s both. BP is very character driven but the finale is the only thing that is consistently complained about. And getting visual spectacle right is the main advantage film has over other mediums. If I was exclusively about character I’d stick to books which have the luxury of time to build their characters.

The boat scene in TDK is not very rewatchable IMO. I absorbed the message from it after the first few times and don’t feel the need to sit through it every time I rewatch TDK. I also skip through some of the Nolan action scenes to focus on the dialogue between the main characters. There’s no need for it to be an either/or when it should be both given all the effort and money that goes into these. I think IW has a good chance at giving us both in the finale which would make it the most rewatchable for me.

I agree. It's why two of my favourite final fights are the Winter Soldier fight between Cap and Bucky, and the Civil War fight between Iron Man, Cap and Bucky. The great action + emotional stakes are

Unfortunately the trend of increased "wowza-cgi" and repeat viewing figures would disagree with your statement.

Not that I don't agree with the sentiment, the fact is WE(shh members) are not Marvel's cash-cows.

Tell it to DC.

The MCU has done a great job of balance so far. I have concern that too much is happening in this one to achieve that balance, but the track record has been good so far. But I am far more looking forward to a scene where Tony and Cap have to deal with each other than Wakanda-battle, and I am not a loner on that, clearly.
