It's so strange we didn't.

Kicking the Asgardians when they're already down is hardly the same.

And we get nothing, instead? Lame. It's probably my only real complaint about the film.

Same. My only complaint.

And it didn't have to be a long scene... 3 minutes, tops. Xandar under fire, screaming, flames, ships blowing up... door to the vault explodes inward, Glenn Close dies, Thanos reaches for the first Infinity Stone.

BOOM. Roll the opening Marvel title sequence.

Here's the RedLetterMedia review of it:



Completely agree. I felt the same.

Another enjoyable movie from Marvel but wow...

Spoiler:

Spidey's death was the saddest, with him being a kid with a more innocent personality. So far as enjoyment went, there was certainly that and I like how they combined everyone. There were the chances thet they had to stop everything but didn't quite, if they had that would be the end of the movie though. I didn't recognise Cap right off. I liked Iron Man's suit in this. Oh, I was glad War Machine didn't die which surprised me with everyone else going. Some of the humour offered some lightheartedness from the dark done too.

Not sure I like that Hulk won't come out to play (or that he was easy to beat with.... 2 stones?) Is that fear? or issues because he thinks Thor was blown up and failed to stop it? I don't like the idea of it being fear but then he hasn't been beaten, in these movies, not sure on the comics? I suppose though, if Hulk was there we would have expected them to be more Triumphant, at least with killing the other bad guys sooner.
Also, Strange saw only one ending in which they win, I presume this included how things played out as he wouldn't have given up the stone otherwise would he? I managed to miss the end credits where Fury went too, wonder why he didn't appear in it.

Infinity War was an action-packed but a very emotional ride. The latter can certainly be said especially compared to its predecessors. It was definitely an improvement over Age of Ultron. I also got to see it in 3D, which was made the experience even better.

Spoiler:

My jaw just completely dropped when all of those souls just disintegrated,. I was thinking to myself, time after time, no not Bucky! Not Star-Lord! Not Spider-Man! Not Black Panther! The post-credits scene was also very bleak except for one little beacon of hope at the very end. I'm hoping we have some idea as to what's going to happen next during or after the credits of Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Seen it on Thursday night (out a day earlier in Britain). Incredible movie and left a big impression on me.

I love Marvel and the first Iron Man movie so much, I wanted a MCU since the early 00's and even wrote a post about it on a forum back in 2005 or so and got called crazy.

It's weird how I just stopped caring about these movies...so jaded..

I actually got spoiled a death (I think) through a meme and even though it was a cartoon drawn meme and I've never even seen this character in a movie since his movie was after I had already stopped watching, it still hit me and I felt all sad "why him!?"

The spoiler kinda sucked but it was inevitable since I don't plan on watching these movies anytime soon so it was going to happen eventually, it wasn't just avoiding spoilers for like say a week.

Check out the clip within the article. Mark spoils the end of the film months in advance. I got a laugh about it especially Don Cheadle shutting him up.

Lol.


I laughed at the Cumberbatch and Holland stuff as well.

Tom Holland performed Rihanna’s “Umbrella”.



My wig is now in Canada.

Thanos certainly surpassed my expectations. Spectacular film.

You know the biggest deux ex machina would be if at the end of Antman and the Wasp (assuming it takes place during Infinity War) the villain just evaporates at the most crucial moment and um... problem solved.

....oh my god, that would be GLORIOUS.

That'd be quite unique and ballsy, but I'd personally hate it. It'd feel like a cop-out.

[Andrew NDB]

I feel like Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place right after Infinity War and will deal with it more than anyone expects.

Well...I mean, is there anyone out there that doesn't think that the bad guy from this movie isn't

Spoiler:

the original Wasp?

So the big reveal would be: GASP OMG
And then *snap*.

I'm certainly hungry for more, after Infinity War. I know everyone on the web is having the most fantastic time anointing Ant-Man and the Wasp as a "palette cleanser" (can't wait until that's over), but I don't need one. I'm dying to push ahead.

I suppose the stretch would be that they'd have to be featuring very select footage from the trailers, because I really see no sign of Infinity War aftermath in there, as of yet. And they have a bunch of characters to serve themselves, judging by the poster. Here's hoping they continue the IW storyline though.

I'm sure the trailer has very select footage (we haven't even seen Pfieffer yet). It could very easily be that the very sudden breakdown of law and order following half of everyone vanishing is why Ant-Man suits back up and why it looks like Michael Douglas' is scrambling -- they have to find a way to fix this. Do you notice that there is literally no story mentioned in the trailer?

The quantum realm probably ties into things pretty large.

I'll grant that it's a likely prospect, but I'm not convinced yet.

I've been thinking more along the lines of "How to Train Your Dragon 2"... lose your dad to get your mom back, with Ghost and Wasp serving as parallel daughters trying to please their fathers and live up to their legacies...

We'll see!
