Love this guys! Dave C. here- Can we please let GOOD Superhero movies have a fair shake? I know they can be easily dismissed. But there’s a story here. We grouped up about 10 friends to go see Avengers Infinity War when it came out. Some of those friends were Nowdy and a few of his boys. During the iconic scene, Thor awakens the heart of the dying star, and the living battle axe, Stormbreaker which forged into existence with the help of a sacrifice play by Groot. Then as if propelled toward destiny, Thor is zapped through the Bifrost back to Wakanda with Rocket Raccoon and Groot for an 11th hour arrival in the big battle sequence. Everyone is blindsided, but the Avengers’ anthem swells and gives its approval to the charge as he lands! The team had been broken - scattered. Thor looks around and sees his friends joined in the battle with him. All of a sudden he brazenly shouts, “briiiing me ThanOS!” as he takes his destructive flying leap into the enemy fray to go after the big bad. Describing that feeling I had in the theater that day is not something that I brag about because Nowdy looked sideways over at me and said… dude are you ok? Are you having a seizure? 😂 Calm down! So, to this day, Nowdy refuses to see a Marvel movie with me. Because he likes the A-lister stuff. And I do too but man…. Avengers strikes some nerve in me for sure. I may need help. Because it happened again the next year when Endgame released. That final (also iconic) “Portals” scene. I felt like that was a picture of the final judgment. Like they tapped into a glimpse of the battle of Armageddon, as all the armies who had vanished before, appeared once again to fight when all hope seemed lost. And the music!!! The music always underlines it for me. So, why do those hero team big epic battle sequences stir something in me that makes me overly excited? And why can’t I get this excited about the gospel? Sorry to ramble on here, but I just really enjoyed this a lot! Thanks for putting it out there! Look forward to the next one!
