Was reflecting on this film again with my mates, how good is Robert Downey as Tony Stark and Iron Man? He has to be the best super hero cast of all time imo.
I could also probably watch a stand alone Drax film, a lot of fans of his aren't happy how they have made him such a jokey character but I think he's too hilarious to make a fuss about it
Me and my friend highlighted how a lot of witty/humourous characters got the chop, Dr Strange, Groot, Drax, Spiderman. So I can't help but think that was to give the next film a more serious and dark tone about it, like how dreadful it was that Thanos wiped out half the population. How good would it be if Deadpool was in the next avengers though, a PG version of course. So many possibilities.
DC must be absolutely kicking themselves, how can they compete with Marvel at this point, they would surely need to reboot the characters all over again?
Having not seen hardly any of the other films, I struggled for first hour of film due to shear volume of characters but as got more familiar with them really enjoyed the film as did my 5 and 7 years olds who knew more of the characters than me.
Surely the time stone will come into play in the sequel. They can’t have killed off Spidey !!

Think there is an element of keeping a darker tone, but also since it is probably going to be the last film with all of the original avengers in it I don't think there is any coincidence in the fact that it is chiefly only them that remain - although i do have a strong feeling we may yet see an unexpected addition in the next film perhaps near the end - Silver surfer or fantastic four potentially.
Deadpool would be a great cameo at the end but I don't know about having a watered down version for too long - on the other hand a Thor or Stark 18-rated cameo in a Deadpool film - take all my money! Actually thinking about it a Black Widow cameo would work great as well as she fits the more hand to hand up close and personal action scenes.
That's the beauty of having such a wealth of great and well-known characters from the source material - they can take it anywhere they want.
As for DC - they have a great roster too but nobody who knows how to use it and no long term plan and are forever playing catch-up to Marvel- that's why they spunked their load so early and spoiled it. It's a massive shame.
Watched it yesterday and enjoyed it, I haven't watched the last probably half dozen Marvel universe films tbh, but I knew enough about the storylines of the characters to get by without much confusion. Thought it was good to start with Loki's death from the beginning set the standard that characters are going to die. Think it must be that the pre-snap deaths are proper deaths, I knew Vision would die, he had one of the stones in his damn head, but no way will they kill off characters like Spidey and Black Panther for good, Spidey 2 already in the works makes it clear that he'll be alright in the end.
Wouldn't be surprised if either Cap or Iron Man somehow steal the gauntlet off Thanos then use it to rewind time and in the process sacrifice themselves in some way.
One problem I had with it was when Iron Man was full on shanked by Thanos then just glued himself together again and was fine all of a sudden! I genuinely thought he was dead when he was stabbed, really shocked me that one, at least he should've been mortally wounded somehow. He's stuck on the other side of the universe with Gamora's sister too, so not sure how he's going to get back to earth.

Christopher Reeve as Superman Michael Keaton | Christian Bale as Batman Hugh Jackman as Wolverine Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man
Those five actors will always be difficult to beat in their Superhero roles

Michael Keaton as batman was pretty poor but was made to look good because of Clooney and Kilmer who stank up Gotham City . Bale was the perfect Batman.
The only issue I had with the film was the section where Iron Man, Spiderman, Dr Strange and Starlord almost beat Thanos. Made him look a bit weak in comparison to the rest of the film if he was only saved by Starlord's mistake.

To be fair, Strange has an Infinity Stone and is supposed to be the strongest magician in the cosmos, Iron Man has invented technology that allows him to no-sell being hit by an entire moon, Spider-Man can lift about 25 tonnes and Starlord is half god. It would be a bit bonkers if they hadn't got close. You have to have that point where the good guys showcase the extent of their strength and get close to winning, otherwise you don't get a reference point for just how strong Thanos is
I enjoyed it but found it predictable. Thought beforehand that the time stone was key and that they had the freedom to kill off anyone. Also it clearly is half of a story. The majority of deceased characters will not stay dead. Josh Brolin was brilliant though.
Saw it mid-week and loved it. The first movie was amazing, the second was ok, I felt they got the action set pieces right but it lacked some of the humour and banter from the first movie. This one was spot on and the two and a half hours in the cinema flew by.
I'm a huge fan of the Marvel movies and was an avid comic reader as a kid so I might be biased, but I think for the most part Disney have done a great job with the franchise as a whole.
Jesus, did I well up at that point. Whether Peter Parker comes back, you can’t help but put yourself in the shoes of a 16 year old desperate not to die right there and then. That’s the kind of thing Marvel does to well.
He'll be back. He's got a brand new movie coming out June 2019, conveniently a month after the conclusion to Infinity War hits the big screens
Man Peter Quill has pissed me off again, I forgot how close they were to getting the glove off Thanos before he acted like a complete bitch over Gamora and messed it up.

Take comfort from what happens to him at the end of the next Avengers film - He deserves that kick!!

Absolutely infuriating. Sometimes you need to see the big picture, e.g. when half the world's population could die.

Something about a 1 in 14million victory and it was the only way?
They will get the stone back and all the dead people won’t be dead anymore
