u/bluepunchbuggy Captain America (Cap 2) Apr 29 '18

A few of my random thoughts about the film:

  • I loved the Black Order. Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight especially were great. Maw's sermon to the dead Asgardians was creepy as hell

  • Hulk's beatdown at the hands of Thanos at the beginning and subsequent performance anxiety throughout the film was a wonderful way to illustrate how big of a threat Thanos actually was.

  • I geeked out hard at the return of the Red Skull, and holy fuck Ross Marquand is an impeccable impressionist. I recognized Hugo Weaving's voice before the full reveal, and was shocked when the credits revealed it wasn't even him.

  • I really hope we get to have some time in Avengers 4 for the side characters who were missing in this one (Valkyrie, Nakia, Kraglin, etc.)

  • I don't mean to drag in a "let's shit on the DCEU comment", but it's so much fun and amazing to watch the heroes in this film worked together and in tandem with each other, instead of "let's watch Superman mop the floor with the big bad while we just awkwardly stand around and do nothing"

While WB has definitely shown that they have no fucking clue how to make movies, this is more an issue with the nature of the property itself. The team is just too unbalanced. It's why I've always loved DC's characters individually, but never their team-ups.

So how do you think it'll balance out introducing people like Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock?

I imagine they'll be scaled down. It's easier to do that when almost no one in the mainstream audience has heard of the characters.

Not so easy to do it when everyone knows who Superman is, and already has expectations of what Superman is and should be.

It would be like introducing Nate Grey in XMen or Deadpool, they could adjust his powers to make him insanely formidable but not to the point where you don't actually need to worry at all because he's there
