Infinity War Whose lack of screentime were you most disappointed with?

I'll say once and I'll say it again. Bucky shouldn't have even been unfrozen for this.

“Some of the people, when you weigh up who you are seeing, seem to take a little bit of a back seat in this one. When we did crack them, what we realized was they had far more potential in the movie coming next year, just in terms of how their character would be tested by the story. I’m not telling you what the story is. I will say there is less Steve Rogers and Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) than you might expect in this movie [Infinity War]. Because they are such hard-bitten people, when a threat comes, they stand there and they take the threat. They don’t crack. They don’t whimper. They don’t start talking about all their failed opportunities. So, there isn’t that much to explore, especially when you don’t have a lot of time. But there’s a lot later.”

Honestly, this felt more like a Guardians movie with most of the action taking place in space and they being key to all the fragmented segments save the Wakanda stuff (which even then incorporated them). They all got good showing with most of the complaints about lack of airtime going to proper Avengers members

Up first, Loki . . .

Spoiler

although it was less than the amount of time given, but what he was able to do during it . . . feh

Up second, Cap . . . although I expect he’ll have lots of screen time in part two. Plus, seeing Chris Evans on Broadway recently helped make up for the lack of screen time in IW!

So basically they have explained why there's so little of them on screen. But why do they do so little with the screentime they have? They could have given them a lot more to do. More dialogue at least.

^THIS x100.

Bucky is unfrozen and does nothing even with the new arm he was given.

The Russos chose more fight sequences and infinity stone heists over the character interactions we've grown accustom to in the previous Avenger films.

Agreed. Complete waste of what should be a more meaningful moment.

Of which they dropped the ball when it came to Wakanda

I felt the exact same way.

Yep. Like have Steve die by Thanos hands or snap. Then have Bucky awaken in a 2nd post credit scene by BW explaining that there's been an incident.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

After he's been underused in the film? I don't think so. It would just be frustrating to Cap fans (like me) as A4 is his final outing.

 

[KevTravels]

I felt the exact same way.

Maybe it was all the promotion or simply our desires and imaginations could not have been met. But it felt like so little was focused on Wakanda. And I felt it hurt it. It was nice to see Wakanda again, but it felt very little about the Wakanda we grew to love. They honestly could have fought anywhere.

 

[Sciche]

Bucky...they didn't even show us what his new arm could do!!! WTF

 

[Sciche]

They didn't unfreeze him to fight...they unfroze him to do yard work and chores.

i agree. I really love Bucky but cmon, they couldnt even give him the screen time he deserves. WHAT CAN HIS ARM DO NOW THAT IT'S UPGRADED???


oh right...he can lift Rocket with it

 

[Sciche]

They didn't unfreeze him to fight...they unfroze him to do yard work and chores.

yep. too bad those wakandans are busy fighting aliens and ****. Bucky should be given the chores since he's been asleep for years or something. sigh

 

[BarryAllen]

Cap, Hulk and even BP.

 

[nypinta]

I do think Bucky was underutilized, but I think maybe he should have stayed with Shuri and Scarlett Witch instead, and brought back his former sniper skills. Then after Wanda takes off, there could have been more of a team-up between Bucky and Shuri, because I'd like to think the bonded (as friends only) since she helped him so much, and then both join the fray on the front after Vision leaves. It would have added maybe 3 more minutes? Given Shuri more too, plus shown that Bucky's made some attachments since CW. And instead of just grabbing Rocket, let him on his shoulder the way Groot used too.

 

[Relugus]

Spoiler

Black Panther, he barely gets to do anything, only gets to do 1 cool thing against Cull

Spoiler

He's not going to be in A4 much either, unless he gets something like a plot with Strange and Wanda in Soul World.

 

[Relugus]

Cap, Vision and Falcon. Scarlet witch too even though she had a decent ammount, she was so good I wish she had more.

Spoiler

Her screentime was only about a minute more than Civil War. I hope Soul World and her meeting Doctor Strange moves her arc forward.

I think with Thanos having less screentime in Avengers 4 we'll get a more balanced screentime.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I wanted to see more of Team Cap and Wakanda. I understand this needed to be space heavy but less Star Lord and more of them would've been great.

 

[P Supreme]

wanted more Cap and a possibly a reconciliation with Tony so Cap for me

 

[Chance Jackson]

Black Panther, Shuri & Valkarie

Spoiler

Who is supposedly killed off screen and her body is near Heimdall's

I also don't feel the Wakandans in general had a great showing
