Infinity War Thoughts

Sooo, Infinity War.  Even though I had guessed a lot of the things that would happen (thanks to Linkara’s reviews of Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War), I still wasn’t emotionally prepared.  As Jeeves would say, Infinity War has “the dark inevitability of Greek tragedy.”

 Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers

This movie starts grim, and apart from some well-placed jokes and light-hearted moments, it doesn’t let up.  The destruction of the Asgardians’ refuge ship was chilling.  I was relieved when Thor said that half of his people were killed, so hopefully Valkyrie led those to safety.  Heimdall, oh Heimdall.  I did not expect that we would see his death, but it was great to see him use the last bit of his power to send Hulk to earth.  As for Loki…we all knew it was coming.  Loki’s had the shadow of Thanos’ wrath hanging over him since the first Avengers film.  But I though Proxima Midnight would just stab him with her spear.  No, we had to see Thanos lift him up and crush his neck!  I go back and forth on whether this is the end of Loki.  On the one hand, even though it was short, it was a respectable end to his character arc, and Loki’s death helps drive Thor’s need for vengeance.  On the other, it reminded me a lot of Loki’s death in The Dark World, and the fact that Thanos explicitly said that Loki was really, truly dead almost felt like an acknowledgement that Loki will be back.  From the filming pics for Avengers 4, we know Loki’s going to be in some sort of flashback/time travel scene. However, I feel like this is the end of Hiddles’s Loki, but I bet that we will get kid!Loki in the future.

  And then Thor crawls bleeding to Loki’s body and holds him while he waits to die too while everything burns around them AND THIS IS NOT OKAY!

  I liked Dr. Strange in his own movie, but it was interesting how much he’s changed since then.  He really is the Master of the Mystic Arts now, who’s playing by a whole different set of rules.  It makes sense why he was so determined to protect the Time Stone because once Thanos got that one, it pretty much was game over.

  Bruce, Bruce, poor Bruce!  *wraps Bruce up in a blanket*  He and Hulk were so terrified of Thanos.  Also, it’s interesting that Bruce know that Thanos was behind the attack on New York.  I’m guessing that Loki or the Black Order must have mentioned something during the initial attack on the Asgardians, and Bruce somehow remembered it.  Also, I liked how Bruce was the one to call Steve.

  I will never be over how protective Tony is over Peter.  Loved every moment of their interactions, especially when Dr. Strange looked at them and said, “Is he your ward?”  Speaking of Dr. Strange again, he and Tony had a fascinating dynamic and tension.  A lot of people have commented on their similarities (even calling Dr. Strange Iron Man with magic), but seeing them together really highlighted their differences.  Tony’s ruled by his emotions, while Dr. Strange is coldly logical.

  All of the Black Order was cool, but Ebony Maw was my favorite.  I have a huge weakness for proud, cold intellectual villains.  His telekinetic powers made him even more awesome to watch.

  Wanda and Vision!  They made me melt when Vision kissed her hand.  So tender.  Admittedly, during the fight with Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, I was thinking, “Oh I recognize that spot.  And that one! Oh look St. Gilles!”  It was two romantic couples against each other, although I’ll have to watch the movie again to see if there were any parallels between them.

  When Steve showed up and the Avengers theme played, my theater erupted in applause.

 Peter trying to imitate Thor’s voice was the funniest moment in the movie for me.

 Like with Wanda and Vision, we don’t see the moment Peter and Gamora became a couple.  I got the feeling that had happened sometime between Guardians 2 and this, and kudos to the Russo Brothers because I hadn’t been particularly rooting for Peter/Gamora to happen, but they are surprisingly good at writing gentle, established couple romance.  Of course, both of those couples end tragically, but they were happy while they were together.

  Shall we talk about the parallels between Gamora and Nebula and Loki and Thor?  First, the estranged siblings have some sort of reconciliation.  Then, Thanos brutally tortures Nebula/Thor in front of Gamora/Loki in order for them to give him the Infinity Stones.  Thanos then kills Gamora/Loki, leaving their surviving siblings on a quest for revenge.  Granted, Nebula already sought revenge, but Gamora’s death just added another thing to the pile of Reasons to Kill Thanos.

  I never expected Thor and Rocket to have such a good dynamic as they did. Rocket appreciated Thor’s respect. Their conversation about what Thor has been through was heartrending, and I just wanted to wrap Thor back up in his blanket.  He’s broken, but he has to go on to avenge the deaths of his loved ones.  When Rocket asked what had happened to his best friend, I wondered if Thor was referring to the Warriors Three’s deaths in Ragnarok or Heimdall’s.  Either way, four of Thor’s close friends were stabbed in the heart.

  Speaking of Rocket, I wonder if the Russo Brothers have seen that comic where the Avengers are playing D&D and the Guardians are their characters with Rocket obviously based off Bucky?

Peter Dinklage’s cameo was a great surprise.  Did not know what he was going to be in the movie.

 Peter Starlord and Peter Spiderman’s interactions were great.  “Is [Footloose] still the best movie ever made?”  “It never was.”

  I haven’t said anything about Thanos yet, but it’s hard to say something that everyone hasn’t already.  He definitely lives up to the hype, and his respect for the enemies who put a good fight up against him is very interesting.  For all his cruelty, he has a surprising amount of gentleness, as seen in his scenes with Gamora and Wanda.  He and Kilmonger could definitely sit down and have a talk.  Infinity War definitely is Thanos’s movie, and he rightfully dominates every scene he is in.  He is terrifying, but at the same time, he is a Well-Intentioned Extremist.  Like Marvel’s best villains, his motivations are understandable, but the actions he takes are horrible.

  The battle in Wakanda as they stared at the forces against them and knew they were all going to get killed, but it was worth it to protect Vision and destroy the Mind Stone…major Return of the King vibes.

Like Loki, death has been hovering over Vision since he was created. But it was so much worse than I had expected.  THANOS RIPPED OUT A CHUNK OF HIS FOREHEAD AND VISION’S WHOLE BODY TURNED GRAY AND WANDA SAW THE WHOLE THING POWERLESS TO STOP IT!

  And then Thanos gets the Mind Stone and the bodies just start falling! I wasn’t expecting them to show everyone disappearing, but they did, and it was so brutal!  Bucky’s call for Steve.  Seriously, I expected Steve and Bucky to die together but no YOU SEPARATED THEM!  YOU MONSTERS! And Steve is left holding Bucky’s ashes. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Sam dies! Steve loses both his best friends. Rocket has had to watch Groot die twice! I really didn’t expect them to kill all the Guardians except Rocket.  And T’Challa dies!  Peter I was expecting, but no, they had him cling to Tony terrified as he faded away and Tony is left mourning the kid he was supposed to protect.

 Natasha’s look of shock as she stares at Vision’s body while Steve collapses.  It’s very hard to phase Nat, so seeing her so shaken was chilling.

  All hail Queen Shuri?  I hope she’s still alive.  We didn’t see her dissolve, so unless confirmed otherwise, she’s alive.

  Nice little nod to the comics of Thanos making a scarecrow out of his old armor. 

 Help us, Captain Marvel, you’re our only hope.  

  My favorite thing during the screening was when the line “Thanos will return” appeared on screen, a girl behind me yelled, “Oh fuck you!”

A lot happens in Infinity War and it’s so much to process.  It’ll definitely take another couple of viewings, even though it will rip my heart out every time.

Probably the OC I fiddle the most with.

Takes magic lessons from Wiz( that magician guy that no one seems to remember/care about?). As it turns out, their brand of magic is not anything she can pull off.

Works as their assistant sometimes... Even if it can be slightly terrifying because of their methods (their magic lets them make the tricks a bit more than just illusions). Shaddy has gotten cut in half (or more parts) more times than she cares to count.

Actually more interested in drama, but she's taken what she got.

She's good friends with Shadow Kirby! They hang out a lot!

Her name used to be Shado. And yes, that IS pronounced the way it looks like it is. She hated it.

Owns an oversized magenta sweater and wears it at ever chance she gets. Wiz hates it.
