Mr. Strange knows some spells but I wish he'd do more techniques and stuff instead of going Hup, Hip, HA and fist fighting. Minor quibble from me in this otherwise great film, that's the most popular film in the history of the medium.

His name is Mr. Doctor. Mr. Strange is his made-up name.

Still no Steve and Bucky kiss, drat. And after Bucky did his hair for his man, even. (Though to be real, neither of them really did much in the film.)

From beginning to end, this was a love movie. Between brothers and sister. Between daughters. Between best friends. Between murder suicide lovers.

I thought it was great! And I haven't enjoyed a Marvel movie in a while. This kind of did the only thing that can make one of these interesting at this point, which is up the stakes to the absolute limit. So (although they'll hopefully kill a bunch of people off in the next one) it's kind of the end of the line.

On Thanos's motivations:

He's sort of the ultimate utilitarian, so to me it really comes down to whether or not you buy that powerful people ever actually do awful things because they think it'll be for the best, or if in the end it's all rationalizing selfishness and moral compromise. I mean, is it fair to say Hitler genuinely wanted to help the people of Germany, and he just made the mistake of being racist and nationalist? That doesn't seem right. Thanos is portrayed as completely earnest and selfless--he's just objectively, insanely wrong.

Any soundtrack at all should be anything other than bland orchestral drones.

Thor Ragnarok did it right. I was with that soundtrack every step of the way, and I didn't even realize until the credits that was Mothersbaugh.

Thor gets the gauntlet, wishes everyone that died came back again and suddenly the universe becomes stuffed to the brim with formerly dead people from the dawn of time. Whom soon become dead again as they reappear exactly where they died, which means they are wherever their planet used to be when they died.

Honestly, I don't think the film is actually that thoughtful an exploration of the value of life or killing. To me, the story is not so much about the specific horrific thing that Thanos wants to do. It's more an exploration of hubris. He's a man who gives up his humanity (titanity?) on the absolute presumption of being right despite the fact that if he loses it's because of his limited world view (Not understanding that Strange giving up the stone wasn't Strange giving up but setting up the only possible win condition for the Avengers).

I still can't believe we're in a world with multiple movies featuring Thor, the Guardians and Thanos and all the stuff with the gems and they haven't used a single Hawkwind or Deep Purple song on any of the soundtracks. Like they were able to put 2 and 2 together and use Iron Man at the end of Iron Man but forgot what folks were clearly listening to when these comics were being written and vice versa. Like Avenger 4's entire soundtrack should just be the Hawkwind album Masters of the Universe or Sabbath's Master of Reality.

This is the most popular movie ever made but I think we can probably do better if

1. The entire soundtrack is a single Rush album
2. all the characters kiss and jack each other off and say they love to touch each others dicks
3. The plot of 4 is hulk putting together a powerpoint presentation that explains why thanos should have wished for 2x universe instead of .5x population
4. All these fake deaths are replaced by real deaths, RDJ's head is cut off by helicopter blades at the climax of the film
5. The whole thing should be washed out, constantly raining, and at least a third of the movie should be in slow motion
6. Get rid of all the jokes.

On that note: how on earth do you manage to put The Chain front and center of the marketing campaign for Guardians 2, and then stop just short of including the bassline in the movie itself?

7. The main villian should be visibly aroused at the thought of an anthropomorphic personification of death (not the goddess of death from the last movie, a different female death. A curvy skeleton with boobs, like.)
