Avengers: Infinity War

The part at the end with Spiderman...aw

There was a little boy behind us(maybe 5 at most) and dressed full on Spider-Man costume. He sobbed so loudly poor little guy.

I'm not sure, personally, I think that the way deaths were handled was a little uncalled for. One example of this, in my opinion, is Bucky's death. After they spent several movies building up his character, they kill him off without an honorable death and without any sort of closure. I understand that the ending was required, but I just found it to be executed a little poorly. But, let me know what you think, this is just my personal opinion.

Your complaint is my husband's complaint I think...he didn't like that the movie wasn't a "movie". It's an episode. It's not done and cannot stand on its own. The "no honor" deaths are by no means without honor...they just haven't finished explaining them yet. The movie isn't done.

As Dr. Strange said ..."this was the only way".

I found Loki's death the most disturbing...by far.

I also have new respect for Dr. Strange.

No doubt....I was shocked he didn’t last 5 minutes. Once he died, I figured it was fair game for everyone.

As for the ending...Dr Strange knows there was one way to beat Thanos....which is the path he followed by giving up his Infinty Stone.

I’m sure all the people that turned to dust at the end, will be brought back to life in Avengers 4. Now those that died other ways, like Loki....are likely really dead.

Not sure a 5 year old should be watching pg-13 movies in the first place but that’s another discussion.

This thread moved from general discussion to specific spoilers. Might I suggest those of you who posted specifics edit your posts to hide spoilers?

Yeah, when the movie ended I asked my son "Geez, how are all the little kids taking this?" I thought it must have been traumatizing to some of those little superhero fans...some of them were looking a little sad and serious when they left, others were smiling. I think the smiling ones had been prepped that this was not the end lol.

These are not films aimed at or rated for young children. I do not think it is the film maker's responsibility to worry about how little kids who's parents bring them to the movie will take it.
Funny, until I read your comment I truly never thought of kids seeing it. Our theatre was packed, but no kids-- probably because we went around 8 pm on a Thursday

My son is 7 and he knows there's going to be more Black Panther, GOTG, and Spiderman movies, so he wasn't emotional. I think that makes the ending just a touch cheap. But I otherwise loved the movie. I just know they can't end all the stories they apparently ended.

I heard a good point on a podcast: death is a bit different in the comic book world. Its usually not the end.

 

[GrnMtnMan]

Does anybody else see similarities between the way Voldemort evaporated', and the similar scenes of evaporation in Infinity War?



Or did I just discover the plot of part 2? Maybe that's why we don't have a title yet? Because the Wizarding World is going to come to the rescue of the MCU?

Since we are now talking spoilers here...

Any of those at the end are not really "deaths" in any way that matters. In the comic book this is like the first thing Thanos does, and through the power of the Gauntlet all of it can and likely will be undone. It's just a McGuffin to rally the (remaining) troops (notice how all of the original Avengers stuck around?). In the end we will look at Avengers 3 & 4 as one big movie. Yeah, the wait is gonna kill me though!

I disagree. To me it's no different than Empire Strikes Back. The story was told, we just didn't like the outcome.

As opposed to Fellowship of the Ring or Deathly Hallows Part 1.

That's what I told my DH. It seemed to chill him out a bit. LOL. He's not quite the comic fan I am so I understand. I liked the ending. It is exactly as it should be.

I saw it on Sunday and l loved it all.

This was the first half of a two-part movie, so those "deaths" happened in the middle of the story. Those characters aren't done with their part in the story yet. Death isn't permanent in the comic book world, anyway. Every major character in the Marvel universe has "died" multiple times in the comics. And the DC universe, too, for that matter. I've lost track of how many times Superman has kicked the bucket. It seems like they kill him off at least once every couple of years. It's not death in any real sense. It's "they go away for awhile and all their friends cry and then they come back."

in a purely commercial sense, you know they're all coming back because there's another Guardians movie, another Black Panther movie, and another Spiderman movie in the pipeline.

I'm really glad DH prepped me with this info (almost exactly) before I saw the movie or I would have been really upset.

Oh, my word, yes!! I'm always floored at the number of kindergarten-and-younger kids at these movies. We had one behind us who was alternating between bored, confused and upset. It was a constant refrain of "What is that, mommy?" "What happened, mommy?" "I wanna go now, Mommy" "What did he say, mommy" "Why are they laughing, mommy?" "Let's go, mommy" through the WHOLE MOVIE. That, and kicking the back of my friend's seat for two and a half hours straight.....

 

[Jennasis]

There was a little behind us during the movie. She kicked Dh's seat until I turned around and made eye contact. She stopped. Luckily she was too wrapped up in the movie to talk much during it, but she was nonstop talking suiting he previews, credits and first 5 minutes...right up until Loki...then she was mute until the end cr sits where she chatted non stop again.

I was once more, SHOCKED at the number of people who left before the lights came up at the end of the credits. Haven't people learned by now that it ain't over until it's over? There was even a group of young comic fans that stood up and yelled at the screen after the screen went dark and then stormed out of the theatre not even staying for the end end.

I don't get it.

This was the first time we went, when everyone didn't get up an leave. I was shocked. Usually we sit there dumbfounded on everyone getting up before the credits are over.

Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. I really appreciated the humor that was sprinkled in throughout the movie and thought that Marvel handled the large cast very well under the circumstances. Yes, I do know that the ending isn't truly the ending and that all of the deaths at the end of the movie will likely be erased or reversed in some manner. But, despite that, the ending emotionally wrecked me and I found it to be a little uncalled for. Forgive my rant, but that movie left me with a ton of emotions.

I think that good movies do leave you with a ton of emotion, it is why we go to be entertained. If a story is told well it will touch you.

I went to the 2D version of the movie. Well.... First thing that happened was to the people sitting next to me, (At the theater I went to, you can reserve seats when you purchasing tickets online) during the start of the actual movie a few people were arguing with the people next to me trying to take their seat only to find that they were at the wrong seats, lol. This was disrupting the movie for the people next to me and partly me.
Another, some kids behind us started making sound effects of their own with their plastic collector (movie promo) cups. The parents didn't get the hint that this was annoying at least not until my brother told them to stop in a "nice way" because he was soooo annoyed, the parents did finally scold their children.

However, the audience cheered when Steve Rogers showed up, and laughed when Steve Rogers introduced himself to Groot. lol But groaned when after the credits it said Thanos will return (not sure if that was a joke or not). It was funny!
This movie was an emotional roller coaster that is for sure. I stuck around not only for the post credits scene but to absorb what just happened. Wowsers!

Totally agree. I really wish I hadn't opened this thread. Pretty obvious. Gee thanks.

To be honest, anyone who opens a thread about a brand new huge movie like this is sort of playing with fire when it comes to spoilers. If you want to be spoiler free then just stay away from discussions about it. Easy peasy.

Any of those at the end are not really "deaths" in any way that matters. In the comic book this is like the first thing Thanos does, and through the power of the Gauntlet all of it can and likely will be undone. It's just a McGuffin to rally the (remaining) troops (notice how all of the original Avengers stuck around?).

And if you know anything about the comic, I do wonder if the actual end will play out the same way.

They needed a big end to this film. They needed something to really kick the behind of the remaining Avengers and heroes. They have to have that drive so that they can do what needs to be done.

Which means Hawkeye will come back... as Ronin. Oooo... I wonder if his family "died"? And that is why he goes with the Ronin persona?
