Weird to have both Guardians movies in the same year. I would've pushed it down a year or two.

I think they said that Guardians 2 was supposed to take place only a few months after the first one way back when it came out so that actually fits.

I remember something like a few weeks. It's why Goot is still a baby in that and a teen in Infinity War.

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

I remember that the entire first Phase took place during a month or so, that pretty much debunks that too then?

This looks so bad, but on such a grand scale. Do you remember that Twitch streamer who lit a match, burned himself, put the match in a trash bag, the trash bag caught on fire so he put it in a cardboard box, and things just kept escalating and the more he tried to fix it, the worse the fire got until he burned his house down? That's what I think of when I see this trailer.

I guess it also rules out the "experimental emo-suit" from being that one that Hammer worked on. If that was a reference to Civil War, then it's weird that they referred to War Machine armor like that.

Seems weird for Black Panther to take place two years after Civil War since it opens with T'challa returning to Wakanda after the events of CW. What was he doing for those two years?

Civil War is dated as 2016. Black Panther is dated as 2017. Where is the 2 years?

X-O posted:

2016: Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming
2016 through to 2017: Doctor Strange
2017: Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War

If Civil War takes place around the end of 2016 and Black Panther around the beginning of 2017, that shortens the time he was away a lot.

That's still weird because when Black Panther starts they say it's only been a week since Civil War which definitely didn't take place in December.

The things he does in response are like... have you never seen a fire before? Do you have no idea what they do? He puts it in a garbage bag full of paper and then turns away and ignores it, and then when he notices it again he drops the trash into a cardboard box, and then when the fire gets larger because of this, he piles more boxes on top to... hide it?

If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.


Man, I would like to point and laugh, but I'll never forget the time I accidentally let an oven mitt on the counter brush up against a burner. When it caught fire, I grabbed it and tossed it into the nearest non-flammable container: a pan of hot grease.

Fortunately I had the presence of mind to carry the burning pan outside and set it on the concrete driveway while I ran inside and grabbed a pan lid to smother it with, but if I'd been on the second floor, I'd have been in trouble.

Smart move, changing the very opening from the original trailer. No longer does it appear that someone held the WB logo underwater until the bubbles stopped. Good to get rid of that subtle imagery.

Is it just me or does it seem like they made a huge over correction in the color department?

MOS, BvS, JL - all had very valid claims that all the color was sucked out of those movies leaving them drab and washed out. Now we know what they did with all the colors. Here's where the villain hid them. It's like the plot to an old bad cartoon.

I think weeks lines up with the comics. I may have misinterpreted it but during the first (I assume not only) time Strange goes up against Shuma-Gorath the Ancient One more or less says that he hadn't met Strange that long ago, like it had been a few months.

On the Infinity War film commentary the screenwriters address the in universe reason why Thanos has waited all this time to start collecting the Infinity Stones. They say that Gamora and Nebula discovering the location of the Soul Stone is what sets Thanos' plan into motion. Since there is only one thing in the galaxy that Thanos wants to do, and since he needs all six to do it, he was holding off on collecting them until they were all in play. I think he definitely kept tabs on all the other stones, but until The Soul Stone surfaced on Virmir, his quest was completely impossible. So in the meantime he was biding his time lying low and preparing to strike as soon as events lined up in his favor.

Thanos was supposedly still doing his manual population control until he got the Gauntlet. So I don't think he was ever laying low.
