Thanos turned out to be a much better villain than I was expecting. Thanos needed to have more of a story before Infinity War. As much as I enjoyed this film, the ending just felt super anticlimactic.ģ. We're left mourning the characters who actually died like Loki and Gamora rather than feeling like it's all a big charade. We don't know if half the population is wiped out. I think the movie should have ended when Thor struck Thanos in the chest and he replied "You should have aimed for the head." Cut to black. Meanwhile, we know that Spider-Man 2 and Guardians III are slated for 2020 so it's just not all that suspenseful to know who "died." But it looks like Ant-Man and the Wasp won't be impacted by the events in Infinity War, and Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s.
Some of these heroes are out of action for Infinity War Part 2. Who is actually dead at the end of this film? Nobody, as far as I can tell. I know that Black Panther isn't really dead. The emotional impact of the film's ending was.nonexistent. And that means that other deaths-like Loki and Gamora-might also be reset.Īll of this serves to cheapen the emotional stakes. And because we know they can't die, we know that somehow the Time Stone (probably) will be used to "reset" the entire story. We know that the Guardians of the Galaxy will be back for a third film, so Peter Quill and Groot and Drax and Mantis can't all die. Then we see a whole bunch of characters who we know can't die, die. His mad quest-one that's beneficent in his own mind-is fulfilled. He achieves the balance he so desperately wanted. Thanos snaps his fingers and suddenly half the population in the universe disintegrates. Probably the most frustrating thing about Infinity War is how it ended. Thor almost got Thanos, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The movie should have ended before *that* ending. Stop trying to force romantic relationships where they don't belong and then half-ass them anyways.Ģ. Oh, and don't even get me started about the whole 'that was awkward' moment between Captain America, Black Widow and Bruce Banner. It was focused and exciting and we were never overwhelmed by too many storylines. One reason the first Avengers is still the best Avengers is because, while it brought together many of our heroes, it simply wasn't bogged down by such an enormous cast. This movie suffers less than Age of Ultron in terms of pacing and cohesion, but it still takes ensemble too far and ends up focusing on the wrong characters far too often. A great deal can be shown and not spoken. I get that Vision is important because of the Mind Stone, but do we really need such drawn out scenes between him and Scarlet Witch? A great deal can be conveyed in the action without all the weird lovey-dovey stuff.
