[@pandalandalopalis6515]

Rocket didn't make a sarcastic remark after his conversation with Thor. He said: "I have a lot to lose, actually". I wouldn't count that as a sarcastic remark. I would count that as a genuine worry. It may have seemed funny at the time, but it's actually really heartwrenching. (And considering what ended up happening. . .his worry came true)

[@Ghost-Mom]

definitely! he's the only guardian who survived, which means he lost his entire family. That IS heart wrenching.

[@pandalandalopalis6515]

@Kendrick I think there's a huge foreshadowing with that line which makes it important that it was there. He says he has a lot to lose, and he *literally loses everything.* His entire team is wiped out by the Snap and Gamora was killed by Thanos. He lost his family. He has *nothing left.* He had a lot to lose and he lost all of it.

[@lettuceprime4922]

Kendrick - That sounds like something a good director would have the foresight to replace with the current cut. His line is subtle, mildly sarcastic, quite facetious, sincere in context, foreshadows in an "at the refrigerator" sort of way, and - _most importantly_ - completely in character. I honestly thought Infinity War got a touch _too_ dour in places. I'm shocked that people wanted something _more_ serious, or, in your case, ham handed and awkward, bruh. It's fine where it is doing what it does.

[@zeroskaterz92]

A talking raccoon that always have sarcastic lines in almost every moments possible to hide his feelings and people complained about that? Almost like people didn't exactly understood the character for some reason. For Rocket to say some motivational shit to fight Thanos is just contradicted his character whatsoever. There's a difference between character development with turn 180 with the character.

[@dietrichvonaken1222]

Kendrick lol, I didnt think that line was sarcastic or inappropiate at all! It gives great Insight into rockets person (very coherent with Guardians vol. 2 as well) and gives an important balance to Thors "it doesnt matter anyway" attitude. I think he also meant the part with the eye, which was funny and broke the sadness, but also not misplaced, tone, Story and character wise. But I have only seen the german Version, so what do i know :D

[@lukesguywalker]

What scared me about Thanos' moment at the end is that it mirrors something he said earlier on. I thought it was a pretty minor line and I don't remember what it is exactly, but someone asks what he wants to accomplish and he's like "When this is over I want to watch the sun rise on a grateful universe." and in his eyes, that's what he did. Chilling. Totally wasn't expecting that from Marvel.

[@iHD_Sparrow]

CoreOfTheStar “I finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.”

[@tristantrolls9516]

Dumbass that’s a big line

[@alberthsin6118]

How could you not remember what T'Challa said? "Evacuate the city. Engage all defences. And get this man a shield." You're welcome!

[@KimiRaikkonen123]

"We dont do that here"

[@robobird3383]

"Come, this is no place to die."

[@urtiz]

"Wakanda Forever!!"

[@sandromercadobustinza6339]

Omg those are literally all his lines

[@applepie1272]

"I never Freeze"

[@blondiedies]

Last words: Heimdall - "All-fathers, let the dark magic flow through me one last time." Loki - "You will never be a god." Gamora - "No. This isn't love." Vision - "I love you." Wanda Maximoff - "...no!" Bucky Barnes - "...Steve?" T'Challa - "This is no place to die." Groot - "Dad." Mantis - "Something is happening." Drax - "Quill?" Peter Quill - "Oh, man." Stephen Strange - "Tony, there was no other way." Peter Parker - "Mr. Stark? I don’t feel so good. I don't know what's happening. Please, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna die, Mr. Stark, please. ...I'm sorry." Maria Hill - "Nick." Nick Fury - "MotherFU-"

[@DutchessNDukes]

Nick died the only one with his balls still attached to him. *ALSO SAM L JACKSON SAID MOTHERFUCKER*

[@DeanPelton98]

I legit almost cried a bit when Peter died

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

I legit almost shit a bit when Nick almost said motherfucker

[@paualejandrino1302]

Groot: Dad....

[@paualejandrino1302]

Stated by James Gunn on twitter

[@electricboxers9043]

I think Cap and all the other characters that didnt get much screentime here will get their time in the sequel. The ones that survive, of course.

[@zachmiller3966]

Electric Boxers yeah I’m pretty sure I saw something that character that didn’t get attention in part 1 (mainly cap) we’re going to be focused more in part 2

[@alexd.2504]

I don’t want to go

[@kordanot]

Electric Boxers oh you mean like black panther.

[@lazerrhino]

Kestrel no cause he dies. We know they will show characters like Ant-man, hawk eye and captain marvel since none of them are in this movie.

[@willyates2787]

Everyone esle will come back at the end probably

[@Milkra]

Infinity War was unbelievable, I genuinely didn’t expect the ending to happen. Definitely my favorite marvel movie, the jokes weren’t overdone imo, the action (that wasn’t hand to hand) was easy to follow, and the ending was pure shock. I thought this movie would be cookie cutter, but holy shit

[@tyrus1235]

Yeah, when shit hit the fan I was like "woah, how are they gonna deal with this in the last few minutes?" But then the movie simply ends with Thanos smiling and me and everyone at the theater was like "what?".

[@slimmachado5405]

Milktraap It was refreshing to see a movie with some balls after watching a POS movie like the Last Jedi refuse to let anybody remotely important go.Besides Snoke,But we really didn’t know anything about him and his death was just fucking stupid.

[@megafire7]

I kinda have to disagree with you about how Rocket's comments after Thor's moment were just 'sarcastic'. To me they read as Rocket realising just how deep in the shit he was, and how much he cares about the people around them, all summarised in a wry comment about that situation. And then echoed by him losing Groot in the end.

[@Ringsfan1]

Exactly. He says to himself, "I could lose a lot personally" and at the end he loses everything. He's the only Guardian left at the end. That's deep

[@333dae]

It was more of him coping with his emotions, from the past 2 movies we know rocket doesn't like to talk about his feelings, he literally drunk cried after drax calls him a vermin.

[@doomstadt2371]

Like a lot of real people, Rocket has trouble with complex or just really hard emotions, and sarcasm or joking is his defense mechanism. He wasn't joking when Groot went because he had no time for his defense to kick in, it was just too real too fast.

[@MrAwsomenessprime]

I think the one liners and jokes thrown in there were more or less there because that’s just how that character would respond in whatever the situation was. For example, you brought up the Thor and rocket scene. I can’t imagine rocket opening up and getting serious with someone he just met, seeing as we haven’t really seen him open up to too many to people other than groot

[@MidnightFreeze95]

Yondu

[@MrAwsomenessprime]

MidnightFreeze95 what about him

[@whatdidyouzay5688]

MidnightFreeze95 thats different in a sense that yondu and rocket had time to bond and not only that he could relate to rocket om some kind of level.

[@johnathonhaney8291]

Izaiah Clinton Moreover, it was because of Yondu that Rocket could even have that talk with Thor in the first place.

[@alexanderthered5603]

The thing that's obviously being missed is Thor revealed right then and there that they use humor to mask their pain. That's the thing about Superheroes, especially in the MCU. They all have tragedy associated with them, they have pain inside they fight every day. So it actually makes sense they would wear a mask of humor to the point it's natural for them. Many of the great comedians are people who significantly struggles with depression, and their humor was originally their mask until they got very good with it.

[@russiaatthemovies9616]

I agree with pretty much everything you talk about in this video. For the most part, Marvel movies are fast food: enjoyable, interchangeable, and completely disposable. There are few Marvel films I dislike, but I have a hard time remembering many of them. Going into Infinity War, I heard several people bitching about pacing issues, too many characters, inconsistencies, whatever, but I found myself engaged from beginning to end. Honestly, any complaints I have are so minor they don't really warrant being brought up. This film delivers on what it promised, and it's mere existence is kind of a miracle.

[@CertifiedHoodClassic0]

You summed up my opinion completely, i agree a thousand percent!

[@russiaatthemovies9616]

Maybe I should've clarified more things. When I say forgettable, I don't necessarily mean that as an insult, I mean that they are largely interchangeable and follow a predictable formula. They can be quite enjoyable, but I'd be hard-pressed to remember them. Now, even when the movie itself isn't the most memorable, the characters are. I like every single one of these guys, because they have all been perfectly cast. They are fun to watch, and often they elevate the material they are in. I'm one of the few people who finds Iron Man 3 to be a blast, and that's mainly because of RDJ. That's why Infinity War worked for me, I liked the characters and I liked the story they were involved in. I don't think Civil War had any big payoff. Iron Man and Steve stopped being friends, sure... but, come on, everyone through their punches in that film. There weren't really any stakes, and seeing as I knew none of them were going to kill each other, it was hard to be invested. Sure, it's fun to see them all punch each other for a while, but that feeling passed pretty quickly.

[@russiaatthemovies9616]

MaxPower, the movie just didn't work for me. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but I like the more jokey and lighthearted toned Marvel movies in the ilk of Spider-man Homecoming, Thor Ragnarok, and Guardians 2 (even though pretty dark stuff happens in all those movies). So my issue with Civil War is that it is tonally wayyyyyyyyy too serious, which would be fine, if there were actual consequences to the action going on. The big airport fight scene feels so tonally out of place. It's goofy and fun, yes, but considering it's the main set-piece of the movie, there isn't a big payoff to it. Rhodes get's crippled, ok, but he's back in action in Infinity War. No one dies, nothing changes all that much other than Steve and Tony are mad at each other. I feel that the movie just wasn't fully committed to what it set out to do and held its punches. I'm not comparing Civil War to Mission Impossible or Die Hard, only to other movies within its same franchise.

[@russiaatthemovies9616]

Ok, so why it matters for me in Civil War, when it doesn't matter in James Bond or (insert franchise here) is because the entire conflict built around Civil War is to split up the Avengers and make them fight one another. That's good and fine, but what comes of that conflict? More than two hours are spent treating it like it's so traumatic and such a big deal, but it doesn't amount to all that much. When we see in the climatic centerpiece of the movie that "Oh, don't worry, they are only slightly angry at each other, they won't hurt each other that hard", well, it loses a lot of tension, the plot loses a lot of its weightiness, and I lose a lot of my interest. If Marvel is going to make a movie called CIVIL WAR, I expect to see brother fighting and killing brother, instead, what we get is "Captain America- An Inconvenient Conflict Where We Will All Be Friends Again Eventually. I don't want anyone to die, but, if the movie is going to present this "Civil War" as something serious and with wait, then it should show that their are consequences to these actions, and they should have given a reason for the characters to actually go after each other to the point of death. This almost happens during the Iron Man/Cap/Bucky fight, but that's in the last ten minutes of the movie, and then the movie just ends. If I haven't explained myself enough on why this movie doesn't work for me, then I really don't know what else to say. I mean, I'm clearly in the minority, most people who are Marvel fans really dig it, that's cool. I don't.

[@russiaatthemovies9616]

I feel like regardless of what answer I give, you will just keep going back to the James Bond thing. I've already said i don't want people to die, I just want SOMETHING. It just seems like a movie that has no reason to exist other than "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if all the Avengers fought each other?" And yeah, it would be cool, but I need a little more in my movies than just one cool fight scene. I find the entire conflict in Civil War devoid of anything. So, a character death couldn't have hurt. I really don't get what you're trying to do there with the James Bond thing. I know going in to a James Bond movie he isn't going to die, you don't watch those movies for that. You watch those movies for exotic locales, spy intrigue, James Bond doing James Bond shtick, and they work to varying degrees of success. I find Civil War tension-less, devoid of stakes, and boring. We're going in circles at this point. I think the movie sucks, you don't think the movie sucks, the world goes round.

[@cafeterialoca]

You didn't get the Rocket remark? "I got a lot to lose" Just think, please.

[@SwanniitoInc]

"This is my friend, Tree. -I am Groot! -I am Steve Rodgers."

[@LuckyBastard12345]

The bleeding edge armor was bawdass

[@milky4367]

It was even more badass when Tony uses his remaining nanobots after Thanos breaks his suit to make a fucking sword.

[@takatathien]

I like how he kept losing parts of his armor and had to relocated some nanomachines from other places to a more important places. Like he sacrificed his left for his helmet, then his left body for his sword, etc...

[@bengordillo1709]

This was one of the main things about the movie I didn't like. Ironman has always been one of my favorite marvel characters mainly because I think the engineering behind his suit is really cool and his powers always seems at least semi realistic. However as soon as he went all nano bots it souta put him into the group of alien tech. like peter quill has the nano tech mask which makes sense cause he is one of the more cosmic characters. The fact that his hoodie can turn into a suit of armor kinda killed the coolness factor for me.

[@mirumask]

Ben Gordillo I absolutely agree!

[@fletcherdinard-samuel4381]

bruh thats how he is in the comic to be fair, and hes been like that for a while.

[@alexd.2504]

I don’t think it’s going to happen, but the genocide of half the universe can still be maintained Miles Morales is know to exist in the MCU, Guardians had a completely different starting lineup in the comics, and T’challa’s sister takes the mantle of Black Panther after he dies in the comics I wouldn’t be mad if they reversed it, but bonus points if they didnt

[@pipon9609]

Fuck morales

[@IndecisiveJR]

Pacob 62 I know they already set up Sylvester Stallone and his team in GOTG Vol.2 so they’ll probably take the Guardians place if Thanos ends up killing them all (permanently)

[@charmandyorton006]

J-Rich What are you talking about? The colours of Ogord would never flash over their graves.

[@blu3_fish869]

But, tom holland

[@alexd.2504]

Aight well also in the comics after Thanos becomes the physical manifestation of the universe (this is really he literally becomes reality) Nebula steals the infinity gauntlet while he’s not looking, brings everyone back to life, then plans to exact revenge, but then Adam Warlock (guy in golden thing in mid-credits Guardians 2) steals it from her and that’s how the day is saved

[@keelinmccoy5983]

Pretty Confident that Captain America will have his arc in the second part. Honestly I think when this movie finally finishes up in Endgame it will be unthinkable.

[@D4G13]

Keelin McCoy Correct

[@axelvc8164]

Keelin I got myself the time stone and came back from the future to confirm you were actually right

[@Wixhael]

As usual, I agree with you on almost all of this. Infinity War is AWESOME. Thanks for making this review.

[@somebodysfather922]

I probably would've enjoyed it more, if he put a fucking spoiler warning on this video

[@somebodysfather922]

oh shit, i was eating...

[@biffyguybiffy6292]

Thoughtful Nijja, the movie is still very enjoyable with the spoilers.

[@somebodysfather922]

even then, i wont be able to experience the surprises that other people did when they first watched it.

[@biffyguybiffy6292]

Thoughtful Nijja, I’ve had a good about of movies ruined for me by my brother so I understand, but this movie is more about the characters than the plot.

[@spoonabenson8762]

Title of Avengers 4 Avengers: Revenge Of Kratos

[@cristhianmlr]

Not even a fucking year.

[@excalibur2772]

Aero Romero Wakanda is fine tho

[@marcosmadrid1135]

Eliman8 III it's not like half of all the wakandans died

[@excalibur2772]

Aero Romero That's not how random works. It's likely that a lot of them died with 50% being very likely but could be all of them were spared or all of them died but most likely most survived since it has a narrative

[@marcosmadrid1135]

Eliman8 III so wtf is the issue

[@MarleyMarr2008]

Jokes are what makes superheroes human and relatable. In real life, soldiers in combat tell jokes all the time. That's how the deal with the horrors of what they're in the middle of.

[@trevpilled]

Yes but I think he means they use jokes at bad times that ruin emotional significance

[@gabrielrodriguez8019]

Okay let’s picture this, let’s say Johnny and his platoon are about to enter combat and little billy gets shot in the head. Mike, Billys brother starts crying and praying for him to get up. Meanwhile John starts making jokes and laughing his butt off. Marcus likes jokes just not when they’re thrown into uncomfortable or weird moments

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

They aren’t making blond jokes internally for levity, they say things that are more light that sitsuation required to lessen the tension like Tony’s “Earth is Closed”.

[@aMilling]

Too many jokes? People use weird humor at awful times to mask their feelings or cope with great loss? DR. Strange or stark doesn't joke around, maybe only at the start in the sanctum.

[@rubberwoody]

"if you throw another moon at me I swear to god" yeah that definitely had to be in there.

[@Maxodex]

i'm gonna lose it*, not i swear to god and he didnt sound particularly sarcastic when he said it. i actually didnt feel like laughing at all when he did

[@debasegrog5153]

Anders Milling that’s the worst excuse I’ve heard trying to justify humor

[@maxeezy7203]

Mailo Y PORKY It's not, jokes actually do that.

[@debasegrog5153]

Meme Magnet so every one in the marvel cinematic universe is in constant feeling of loss? Cause except for captain America and sometimes black panther they can’t go around without making a joke for more than 3 minutes

[@CoreIdeas]

I felt sociopathic when I was smiling and cheering when the characters were turning to ash. While everyone around me was stunned and crying. Only because they actually pulled the trigger. It's definitely not surprising and I know they're all going to come back; so it lessens the impact. Yet the general audience doesn't know that and my god, it was glorious to see the audience reaction.

[@kordanot]

Core Ideas children were screaming in my theater and it was glorious

[@willyates2787]

Yeah everyone who turned to ash will come back

[@JazzyTyfighter]

SPOILER ALERT I’m sure those who turned to ash will come back, but not Loki or Gamora. The movie should have consequences.

[@Ach1lles55]

SAME! The final scene where Thanos smiles and it abruptly ends had everyone in the theatre going "WHAT?!" I was the only one screaming YES! YES! YES! out loud. I was impressed with the BALLS it took to do what they did. They actually DID kill half the cast of superheroes in emotional heart-rending ways. I was SHOOKETH to my core. I turned to my friends and said "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CONSEQUENCES!"

[@Storywalker4]

Jazzy Tyfighter But what about vision?

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

We got that Cap scene in Endgame.

[@user-cp5ez3qe1c]

[@scuz550]

Chuck Buskee I’m guessing you didn’t pay attention all that much while watching the movie.

I wish dc had decent movies, one day they're going to build up to a crossover this big and I'm not going to feel anything but dissapointment

[@Sam-mi9wi]

John Rivera Man of Steel was great as was Wonder Woman. BvS, Suicide Squad and Justice League were awful tho.

[@lanseiosefanderson]

The only good DC films were Man of Steel And Wonder Woman BvS was entertaining but so awful cause it's Batman vs Superman,Wonder Woman, and Death of Superman storyline mashed into one.... Suicide Squad was entertaining because of the cast, terrible story , awful villain Josstice League - GIVE US THE SNYDER CUT WB stop ruining your own DC FILMS

[@charmandyorton006]

Lance DC&MarvelFan I have to agree with pretty much all of that.

[@excalibur2772]

Sam McLatchie Man of Steel was hot garbage lol

[@manaspuranik8353]

I hope the same. :/

[@littleredruri]

2:17 Well, you got what you wanted. It just took a little bit longer.

[@battleupsaber462]

I actually don't have a problem with the humour because if anything this movie needed humour more than any other Marvel movie. Otherwise it'd be an extremely bleak movie about an insane purple alien killing everyone you love. There's a tonal shift to be sure, but no one comes to watch a superhero movie to be depressed. (Except for Snyder fans) Besides, the sense of humour is very much in line with the one displayed by the rest of the Marvel movies, so there's no inconsistency there.

[@yutrops2193]

The problem isn’t the fact there is humour the problem is the humour is poorly done

[@drksideofthewal]

Nope Nope The humor was situational, and character driven. Like Cosmo said, it "faded into the background," which I don't see as a negative. Well done IMO.

[@lettuceprime4922]

CJ Phoenix - The...the joke makes that scene better. These characters _are_ their quirks. The Guardians _are_ childish. They don't really know what they're getting into yet and they don't really care. This movie could have been so much more melodramatic and actually was just a smidge in points.

[@Harry192131]

In your own words - "Whatever." That's your opinion. When someone else shares theirs I don't know why you have to pull the 'whatever' card and be a douche.

[@madtitan0825]

The jokes fit perfectly, and yeah it’s pretty funny that he typed “whatever”, he doesn’t care but he wants people to know he doesn’t care? 😂🤦‍♂️

[@19Allan91]

I think my main complaint was that it kind of made Thor Ragnarok redundant. Loki is dead again, he gets a new hammer, he gets a new eye, hulk is back on Earth and all his people are dead.

[@splatttt]

Shouldn't it be only half of Asgard killed, though? I think the movie forgot about this but Thanos only kills half of all the populations, not everyone. (That's what I hope, anyway, since I really like Korg and Valkyrie :( )

[@19Allan91]

Splat I'm pretty sure I saw Valkyrie dead on the floor at the beginning, on the ship when Thanos attacks. Also, on that ship was all that remains of the Asgardian people, so when the ship blows up, no more Asgard or it's people. It's kind of messed up that Thor only cares that Loki died.

[@userSoulguy]

This is the best article I could find on this predicament www.inverse.com/article/44244-avengers-infinity-war-is-valkyrie-dead

[@QuickZiiva]

I'm slightly sure that Thanos allowed half of the Asgardians to escape safely, but I'm not so sure about Valkyrie. Valkyrie wouldn't go down without a fight, unless Thor convinced her to with the surviving Asgardians.

[@KJnapalm]

Thir specifically says "he killed half my people". It's possible that beforehand, off screen, thanks took half to his ship or allowed half to escape

[@LuisFerCGSW]

2:33 We got all that in Endgame so Cool

[@ejleoz21]

Going back to watch this after Endgame and hearing him complain about Cap not having a better moment with Thanos 😂😂😂😂

[@giulianogisotti4107]

Except he's reviewing Infinity War, the year BEFORE

[@XxOrangesoda2610xX]

I am so happy this movie was great. This easily could've been subpar or "okay" but it wasn't. I'm glad the Russo brothers are directing these movies and not Joss Whedon

[@z7983]

That has more to do with writers not the director. If Joss Whedon was given that script, pretty sure he could've made a better Infinity War not necessarily coz he is a better director but he just knows and understands marvel characters way more than Russos do.

[@khif13]

I'm still shocked/happy my girl Nebula didn't die. She was up there with the you know who as the obvious deaths to happen.

[@chronikhiles]

You're not familiar with the comics then.

[@Grayman2003]

“Once there was a mighty team. They were so mighty that everyone died. The End.” “That didn’t help at all!”

[@chesiresword4054]

Grayman 2003 Tony you're not gonna feel better if you don't get this thing off your chest

[@android19willpwn]

That ending really was fantastic. Seeing the villain doing exactly what he said he was going to do, ending half the universe with a snap of his fingers and then looking out over the sunset on his home with a content smile on his face, and realizing as it was happening that this was the last shot of the movie, filled me with a kind of catharsis that the MCU had never gotten from me. A kind that I hadn't felt in quite a while. And the dead silence from the theater was amazing.

[@buddy1852]

The Thanos Farm scene is one of my favorite scenes in the entire MCU. He won but at such a large cost but he can “finally rest and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe.” The music in that scene is amazing too. The farm scene, thor arrives in Wakanda, and “all that for a drop of blood” fight scene between Iron Man and Thanos are my favorite scenes in this movie.

[@MrLuizilla]

I thought the humor in this movie was fine. There were two jokes I can remember that legit felt out of place, one being Drax's shtick after Peter and Gamora's kiss, and the other being the dwarf's unnecessary explanation after Thor says he'd only die "if it kills him", which by the way, was actually a really great line despite how dumb it is, it's the perfect amount of badass, stupid and cheesy that is the Marvel version of Thor.

[@spaceman466]

The jokes don’t feel like there their to be funny but the characters desperate attempt to district from the grim reality

[@blipmachine]

"For instance, in the comics, one of the best scenes shows Cap standing up to Thanos even though he already has all the infinity stones but he doesn't give up." Oh boy, do I have some news for you.

[@bonedog5130]

I agree with you that Captain America is sort of hanging around all movie. I wish he was the "focus" of the good guy story this movie, cause i thought his intro was awesome (i LOVE the intro fight scene and his entrance behind the train) and I also LOVE the scene where he holds out on Thanos...Thanos even gives him a look like he doesn't understand his power or why he still fights. Even for all the shortcomings, Captain is my favorite in this movie!

[@sirpsycho986]

The Cap scene right before the portals open in Endgame when he's standing in front of Thanos' whole army was the scene from the comics imo. The only thing that was missing was Cap saying the "if one man stands against you" line, which would have been really badass

[@YourBlackLocal]

Is everyone forgetting this is a Two-part story, we’re saying the formula has changed without even knowing what the story is yet. If you end any of the marvel movies at their climax they’re going to seem different.

[@GummyDinosaursify]

You can still review book 1 without having read book 2 in a series.

[@YourBlackLocal]

TableWrens book one isn’t the same as part 1, different mediums. Never said you can’t review it, I said obviously it’ll ‘seem’ like a different formula but you can’t tell till the whole story is told.

[@elmantishrimp1689]

They said they changed their mind on making it into 2 parts because they said Avengers 4 will be different. But I don't understand why because it seems like it really is just part 2 to infinity war

[@YourBlackLocal]

El Mantishrimp Yh basically, i mean it’s not even like there are that many marvel films before ‘part 2’ comes out

[@IsaiahReitanFilm]

"If you end any marvel movies at their climax they're going to seem different" I don't think you understand how plot structures work. Literally every movie ends right after the climax. I mean sure you get some falling action stuff but that really doesn't change the plot that much. It just helps to make the film feel more complete.

[@tylerchiudina9807]

Like you said you can’t just jump into a huge crossover event. This is what makes infinity wars so great. We got to know these characters for 10 years worth of movies, similar to how you get to know the characters in comics.

[@ashlatano8118]

I watched this with a couple of friends and the ending with Thanos smiling at his victory and the credits started rolling in one of my friends said "What the f*ck was that!" I was honestly just a shocked. Because you never see a Marvel movie with the villain winning except for this one.

[@santosic]

I've read comments from people that haven't really watched any Marvel movies but went to see Infinity War because of the glowing reviews... and came out actually liking the movie, and being able to actually follow the story they've never seen. They really did a good job with explaining the story so that even people who had no idea who any of these characters were would know what was going on and why Thanos getting those stones was a big deal. Really shows you how legendary the writing for this movie was. Definitely my favorite Marvel movie ever, so far.

[@lepras3993]

Its also cool that marvel made their main character a villain

[@Horrormaster13]

For me Thanos stole the show in this movie. He is a good villain. I don't want go as far and say that he is on the same Level as Darth Vader or The Joker (except Jared Leto's Joker) but he was a really good villain. He is the best Marvel Villain for sure.

[@hardtobelievebutso]

I love that Marcus's comment about the whole captain America standing up to Thanos cause he doesn't give a fuck scene didn't happen in infinity war Actually happened in endgame

[@zad_rasera]

Black Panther had that one cool.line where he said that Wakanda will end in honor of dignity or something. Also, I really liked that part where Iron Man solo'ed Thanos. Thanos is the main reason of Stark's PTSD, and him confronting him sort of feels like him confronting his past.

[@Dash277]

Really good points about Captain America. I have to admit I didnt notice it much until you mentioned it. Thanos: He was so well done. You can usually only have a bad guy win in a multi part story, Empire Strikes Back being the other obvious example. The world building all paid off in this movie. So many characters but it worked, villain wins but it worked, chemistry between characters worked. It was really impressive.

[@DaaaaaapleSmit]

That scene will happen in Avengers 4

[@thomasburnsjnr181]

Before I watched this movie I thought that hulk was gonna die and iron man was gonna die but they didn’t and I was really surprised and the jokes were really funny to me… oh yeah and red skull was in it which was awesome so yeah…… can’t wait for part 2

[@burritotm8907]

I may be wrong but I'm pre sure Hulk is quite literally invincible. Like in a cominc (can't remember which one) He's the last person left alive on earth after these bugs have been thru and his body just keeps regenerating like the bugs can't kill him at all

[@thomasburnsjnr181]

Well the director said that thanos is stronger than the hulk so I thought that thanos was gonna kill him but he didn’t so

[@chesiresword4054]

Can someone explain to me Why Red Skull was where he was in this movie? Maybe my memory is failing me but I thought he was a leader of the Nazis and he died in the first Captain America movie.

[@thomasburnsjnr181]

Well red skull did not die in the first avenger so basically when touched the space stone he got transported to a different world and he had to guard the soul stone

[@chesiresword4054]

Thomas Burns Jnr Oh thank you for clearing that up!

[@shaggyrogers1149]

Well, Captain America is kind a underused in this movie but God damn is fucking insane in End Game!! All your wishes that captain America should do infinity war happened in end game instead.

[@Vooblebooble]

Am I weird for straight up sobbing at some of the scenes with Quill and Gamora? They were always my favorite characters and had my favorite relationship in the entire MCU, and seeing them go through so much pain from Thanos was absolutely heartbreaking to me.

[@alpha-1730]

“I told you to go right”

[@hievenhade7545]

I think my biggest problem is that I couldn't worry that much about the heroes which died who just had like 1 to 3 movies they've showed up, so I think those are definetely coming back.

[@dennisthegreat1]

I love that your one of the rare marvel nerds in the world of youtube good stuff son

It's cool that you liked it. I thought it was very good. Been seeing way too many acting like contrarians for the sake of pretension and I can't roll my eyes enough.

Oh maybe he won’t spoil anything, sees 0:01, ok nevermind

[@TheKupaKeep420]

This movie got me into the MCU. It was the first Marvel Movie I ever actually watched and I still understood it pretty well. I didn't know much about the marvel universe except for the basics, this is Captain America, this is Iron Man, etc, etc. and a few clips on KZbin like the airport battle. It still did a decent job of explaining everything so even if this is your first or second MCU movie you can get a good grasp of the plot.

[@UTU49]

Fun video. I walked out of Infinity War a little stunned. Not just because a lot of characters died. A lot of characters died in X-Men 3 and the last Harry Potter book (and movie), but in those it felt like a stunt. It didn't feel like a story built around those losses: those deaths were just shoehorned in to raise the stakes. Infinity War treated its deaths with conviction. This is the story. This is what we're giving you. Now we're going to have to live with these losses.

[@bobbyshewan4229]

When Marcus posts a new video but you didn't see the movie😞😞 Edit: I saw it. I've never been more happy and sad at the same time watching a movie. Overall? Easy 9.5/10

Infinity War was the first film I ever saw that left the theater silent. It was eerie.

[@saulgoodman290]

2:38 you got this in endgame

[@crazyturtle3650]

Opposing veiw. One main disappointing part is Marvel has stuck to the same cliche in which no one is permanently dead. The only character that is 100% not coming back is Hiemdol.

[@MultiGreatNinja]

maybe those that did not turn to dust cause trap in soul gem and maybe gamora cause she was used as sacrifice for the soul gem

[@simonegreco1958]

The characters that died before the snap are permanently dead

[@Vanya11_12]

The jokes helped! They made us cry every other second! Like right in the first ten mins loki gone; later tony stabbed and that whole hope they’ll remember you thing and then the dustice league bit! This tragedy needed comic relief

[@kayrupe125]

I had two major gripes about the film. 1: The CG hulk face mixed with Bruce's just looked... weird. Yes, it's already a meme. 2: Gamora's sudden change from solemnity to taunting "nana nana boo boo" as a foreshadowing device right before her death was WAAAAAY too obvious. Heavy handed and clunky are good descriptors for that scene. Things I absolutely loved: the creativity with Tony's suit, the way my heart shattered when Sam Jackson didn't get to finish saying "motherfucker," THE FUCKING AXE made with real Teen Groot, and Peter Dinklage as a giant dwarf.

[@CIII328]

I remember watching the trailer and being legitimately excited and I never get excited for movie releases. Like EVER. Mostly because I could tell they were using some source material from Infinity Gauntlet. I remember trying to deduce who why die in the movie just based off the trailer. And The Farm scene truly surprised me. I never would’ve thought they’d do that

[@Hardrive2677]

Damn I wish you had a longer video on this. Most of your videos are critical of the mcu so it was cool to see that you liked this one so much. Your critiques on the MCU have been so good I would have really liked to hear more on why you thought this one stands out from the rest.

Lol no. The characters all died and are going to be brought back in the next movie. That doesn’t comment on failure in any complex or lasting way. The theme of the Last Jedi was that failure is the greatest teacher. Here we just have an overpowered villain who beat everyone.

I’d give it an 8. I felt that most of the (main) characters get little to no development. Everything else though, I could go on about that all day (in a good way of course).

[@cristhianmlr]

But the characters had develoment on the previous 18 movies... This comes from someone who is also tired of MCU, specially CW, and still don't wants to watch the movie on theatres.

[@tyrus1235]

tbh the real protagonist of the movie is Thanos. You can tell that, for once in the MCU, they film's main focus is him.

[@fintanin7827]

tyrus1235 yep. Thanos was the single best character is Avengers 3. I was expecting a generic big strong dude who hates humanity because... reasons but he actually ended up being likable. It actually made me feel quite wrong for rooting for thanos.

I agree there may have been a touch too much comedy BUT I contextualized it and accepted it in my head by seeing it as the heroes unabashed confidence and bravado; given they've defeated every single villain they've faced off against I can't blame them and, once the last stone is obtained, all the comedy washes away. One of the scenes that got to me, prior to Spidey's vanishing, was when Cap is shouting "where did he go?" before the vanishing starts, they've never lost before and it hit fantastically in my eyes. I love your reviews, dude. Much respect, I'd also go 8 or 9/10

[@loganbigmo]

Contrary to popular belief, Endgame is not a 'part 2' to Infinity War. It's a sequel. They're separate movies, not one movie split into two (like the last Harry Potter was). So his criticisms aren't invalidated just because some of it gets addressed in the sequel,
