Xealot posted:Fun fact: “third world” as a term derives from the Cold War, where “first world” referred to the capitalist West, “second world” referred to countries in the Soviet Communist sphere, and the “third world” was anything unaffiliated with either. Wakanda makes no loving sense at all. It does look nice, though.

Here's my (hopeful, but likely false) predictions: 1. Thanos beats the Peter Parker to death. I'm talking Otter smashing a Mussel. 2. Thanos snaps Captain America's neck just like in that one comic. 3. Falcon is relevant.

I'm going to go bold with my prediction and say that Earth is truly and completely hosed at the end of the film and is the cliffhanger. The Avengers have to go into space to figure out what happens next.

My prediction/hope is that Thanos fucks everyone up, re-writes the universe, and Avengers 4 is an alternate present where Thanos is God-Emperor, that only a few people are aware of and have to put right. Like Stargate did every 3 loving episodes it seemed like.

Wasn't this movie a two-parter at one point in its life, or is it still a two-parter and they're just not advertising it as such?

Nothing will change at the end of this one, like in every other one of the 18 prior movies. Or, even if it does, they'll ignore it for Ant Man Five.

Praising the MCU's rote storytelling as a successful formula irks me somewhat but one thing I will say is legitimately impressive is that they simply took the blueprint of what sold comic books and translated it to the screen. Every laughable marketing stunt up to holofoil is present and accounted for and people absolutely lap it up. It seems so obvious that it would work.

According to click bait articles this movie has a running time of 156 minutes and over 40 names characters. I'm looking forward to Rocket Raccoon's allocation of 3 minutes and 54 seconds.

Unless you seriously think the MCU is in the exact status quo it was at the end of Iron Man 1. Also, this was planned from the start, and you don't kill off your main character and blow up the planet half way through a TV series. You save that poo poo for the finale.

The only thing that's changed is that a big group of corporate vigilantes formed, and then dissolved. Also, two New Yorkers had to stay overnight at a hospital after aliens invaded New York. Post-World War II history turns out to have been controlled by Nazi Illuminati, and this is immediately forgotten. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Mar 9, 2018 |

I think Marvel Studios' only casting missteps have been Iron Fist and Hawkeye. I loved Fraction's "Hawkguy" series, and always thought Alan Tudyk (who was even a Joss Whedon veteran) would have been the perfect casting choice. Renner did his best with what he had (which wasn't much), but was based on bland, unlikable Ultimate Hawkeye, the black-ops agent.

You're probably not too far off; I believe either Karen Gillan or Zoe Saldana said the Guardians' roles in Infinity War are pretty small. Guessing they'll serve as exposition droppers to the Earth heroes and then take part in the big fight at the end.

Do you think the character deaths are likely to be story driven, I suppose I also mean accurate to the comics, or instead quite likely to be influenced by the casting politics/financing? As in I can't really see the point in keeping a death from the comics when none of them meant anything much anyway with all the characters reappearing nearly immediately, when you also have a bunch of aging, expensive actors on a roster alongside a bunch of younger cheaper alternatives able to benefit from the audience groundwork laid by said old timers? Like should we just order the actors by salary/profit ratio to determine who's gonna die? If so, aside from the obvious iron man and captain america, black widow looks done, Scarlett Johansson, whilst not old, must be commanding a fair old salary now and her recent non-MCU movies have made bugger all money. I'd cite wonderwoman's success as maybe working in her favour but equally they have captain marvel waiting in the wings. In the same way Nebula seems like one to keep on, given the probable lowish relative salary of Karen Gillan versus her age and maybe recent perceived popularity from jumanji? Or none of this?

Snowman_McK posted:Are you generally this susceptible to marketing? Because we're 18 movies in, and many of them have been pitched as 'game changing' I am susceptible to the words of the studio head and the directors of these films who have quite explicitly stated that Infinity War will serve as a way for a lot of their primary stars to exit the franchise so they can develop new folks (just like in the comics). That means whether they die or retire a lot of folks who have been in a lot of these films won't be in them after Infinity War/UNTITLED SEQUEL. Did you suddenly expect the MCU to not follow the conventions of comic books? It's probably one of their greatest strengths is their consistent ability to capture the feel of the comics in live motion picture format. Some are better than others, there have certainly been compelling genre works inside that, but why would you expect a comic franchise to not be rooted in "good guys win, bad guys lose, life usually resets more or less". Even huge comic arcs have worked like this industry wide. Lots of status quo until we need to fix or reset something then we have a huge event that removes some folks, brings other characters in. The idea that Infinity War will act like just about every multi-title multiverse event isn't that big of a stretch and is in fact the more likely outcome than "well we had a big event to clear out the roster but NOPE LOL WE DIDN'T" The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Mar 10, 2018 |

The Untitled Avengers Sequel was originally Infinity War Part 2 but in the three years since that announcement the whole “dividing a movie into two parts” has become poison so they had to adjust.

I still think it’s going to essentially be a two-parter albeit not in name. They’re filming them at the same time so they can take advantage of the huge cast. If it was just going to go back to the status quo for the follow-up, I doubt that would be as pressing. Dropping the “part 2” element just feels like a marketing move to me. Now they’re free to call it Avengers: Heroes Reborn or Infinity Crusade or whatever.

The thing that is happening right now is super important, right up until it isn't and they just start ignoring it.

Leaked ending: Thanos suddenly becomes a wireframe and disappears. The remaining Avengers are puzzled. Camera backs away to show Stan Lee sitting at a visual effects workstation with his finger on the delete button. He laughs. THE END. (I have no faith in either Infinity War movie being anything other than mediocre if the last three are any indication)
