Infinity War Things Infinity War HAS to Have

Make it "R" rated.

Is there even a solid reason why it would require an R rating? I'm trying to think of a moment in the comics or movies that would need an R rating to capture it's essence and I'm coming up blank, and that's even including the Netflix cast in the show. (The only character effect I can see would be Jessica's language, which might have to be toned down if put in a pg-13 movie but even that could be shown). You could even do the basic storyline in a PG cartoon show and depict events pretty well. Sure, you wouldn't actually show any of the deaths, but seeing as you are going to resurrect the whole cast at the end you could even get away with Thanos doing the usually cartoon deaths.

I feel like I might have missed the sarcasm, actually, since Infinity Wars doesn't have any moments that I even picture in my head as approaching R. Unless you want Death to be a constantly nude chick always shown full frontal and when Thanos snaps his fingers your hoping for less a "lights of the galaxies goes out" and more a "watch each individual suffer a cruel evisceration". Like that's it. Not even being snarky, those are the only possibilities off the top of my head I can come up with.

Based on EVERYTHING we've seen from Marvel to date, there is no reason or justification to have or want it rated R.

An R rating is like a 3 hour run time. It's something that's kind of arbitrary that people thinks makes a movie more epic, but if the material itself doesn't require it, it doesn't need to be there.

True that, it can be just as intense on a PG-13 rating. I mean, AoU literally showed ALL of the Avengers DEAD. Hulk impaled by like a dozen Chitauri spears. R Rating isn't needed.

Thanos

Well thats a given. It also has to have near complete seriousness. There can be moments of comedic releif but the stakes are higher than they have ever been before here and I want that to be very visible.

Definitely, if they crack a joke in front of Thanos the whole effect will be ruined.

You're never gonna have that in a Marvel movie. Even the most serious one, the Winter Soldier, still had jokes.

 

[ernesth100]

Which is why I said near complete. They can still have jokes. Just be serious when it calls for it. There is an alien with the power to snap us all out of existence coming to end life as we know it.

 

[MbJ]

I'm just saying. It's a movie that is probably gonna have Tony Stark, Ant-Man, Falcon, Spider-Man, and Star-Lord in it.

Expect quips and jokes, people.

Exactly. Comic relief exists for a reason, people.

Exactly. Comic relief exists for a reason, people.

There's comic relief and there's overdoing it. They can't be cracking jokes or having casual conversation in front of Thanos.

Exactly.

I want to see "warrior madness" Thor after the death of Sif or similar at the hands of Thanos, and have someone (a member of the Warriors Three perhaps) recognize it and tell Cap to get everyone to retreat, because "Thor will no longer hold back, nor can he recognize friend from foe". Then have Cap start a withdrawal, and have him tell a few of the more powerful heroes to take up closer positions, only to be interrupted with:

"No. Have everyone withdraw." Steve's eyes widen and fear dawns on his face.

Cut to a close-up within a lightning maelstrom and a bloody toe-to-toe battle between Thor and Thanos, ending with Thor's death and the dislodging of one of the stones from the Gauntlet (the Time stone or the Mind stone, since those are the most difficult to combat against), before the battle resumes with all the other heroes attacking a less-powerful (but still deadly) Thanos.

That is specifically what I want to see in the Infinity War movie. I think it would finally do the character of Thor some justice at least once in an Avenger's movie, since he has unfortunately gotten significantly underwritten in both TA and AOU. A majestic and meaningful death is literally what the Thor mythos -- and Viking mythology in general -- is founded upon.

this might be the most logical post I've ever seen in my very short time here

Deaths. Like not throwaway deaths of brand new characters. I mean acrual important people dying.

Make it happen, Russos.
