So thanks for everyone in the WWE thread helping me being a big dork having an anxiety meltdown. My mom's in rehab for mental issues, she has anxiety too but she has a nasty habit of calling me like 6 times per day freaking out about poo poo liker her bank balance i need to check, her bills that i pay for her etc.

I work from home so i can do it but its not fun having to drop everything constantly and deal with her having a mini-meltdown multiple times per day.

Just saw Infinity War. I'm dead serious when I say it might be the best popcorn action film I have ever seen. It hits every note perfectly. Comedy, awesome as hell action, drama, incredible villain, visuals etc.

Best marvel film by far and this is from someone who loves all of them.

It's honestly like Marvel took every single complaint leveled against them into mind. The comedy is perfectly balanced and works to cut tension exactly when needed. Thanos is neck and neck with Heath Ledger's Joker in terms of absolutely dominating every single scene he's in by pure force of personality and power.

At one point they manage to have two totally separate loving OUTSTANDING action scenes happening AT THE SAME loving TIME and it flows absurdly well.

Also easily the best ending shot of any super hero movie bar none. (I'm not talking about the after credits scene).

I still can't get over how loving good Thanos was. Brolin was having the time of his life in the role and it shows. You can tell he loving loved the role because he owns every single scene he's a part of.

I did not expect to want a Thanos prequel movie as bad as I do right now.

Also good luck Foochs!

So without spoilers please, though I know IW will hurt me because I love the current crop so much, does it do a good job of making the future seem bright for awesomeness in the MCU?

It's basically MCU's version of the Empire Strikes Back. In terms of pure quality I think the fact that they handled a movie as massive as this as well as they did is a huge check mark for a good future for MCU.

Not gonna lie though, I'm a tad disappointed by the post credit tease tbh It's super rad to get that Captain Marvel tease, but I feel like it should been a little more to it

You might be a little confused to start but the movie makes it clear near the beginning who Thanos is, what he wants, why, and how so you'll be fine.
