I liked the prologue of Into Darkness where they are observing a less developed civilization until they have to bail.

Saw it on Wednesday.

I thought Cyborg was one of the better parts. It helps that he actually has something to contribute to the plot, but I think the performance is what really sells it in the end. I think the difference between reading a panel with a still image of a dude complaining about being a cyborg, and watching that character do that in a cartoon or a movie might be what makes that character work better here and on Teen Titans 2003.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Aquaman was horrible. I like Jason Mamoa, but his character and performance are just dripping with trying too hard to be cool. It was actively annoying throughout the whole movie.

Everybody else was ok. Flash was kinda annoying at points, but I guess he was supposed to be.

Like everybody else has been saying here: I do not like what they did with the 4th World content. Turning wonderful Jack Kirby designs into ugly CGI messes is not the way to go, and I don't want to imagine what Darkseid will look like.

I was told that there was another post-credits scene after the Flash/Superman race, looked it up, saw it was about Deathstroke, and just walked out. I don't think they could have gone with a less interesting tease.

Spidey thought

Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:

- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.” on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble brag”…..wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way….he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense….and it’s all NBD to him, of course.

- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it

- Snapchat just launched a “story” functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me” told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.

His movements are beautiful.

He had both in trailers that took place after him losing it as well. Could just be protecting that story moment in Thor 3 or just added CG later?

It's probably the first time we see Wasp, so that's good.

I'm sure this shoot was done before Ragnarok was released so there was no need to have Thor lose an eye.

I like Don Cheadle and I like War Machine, but there’s a part of me deep down that would have enjoyed if he never suited up but every time he showed up he would look longingly at the suits and whisper “next time” like in the first movie.

I don’t even know why I think that’s so funny, but I do.

It will be super hilarious to me if Thor is just back to status quo again in Infinity War. In fact I almost hope that happens, every major change is just entirely reverted with the flimiest of handwaves.

"Rhodey! Weren't you crippled?" "I got better." "Thor, what about your hammer?" "Got better." "Yondu, didn't you die?" "BETTER."
