War to the power of Infinity... or something

So I went to see Avengers: Infinity War this morning.



I'd heard some rumours (more rumours than spoilers) but even so, this was NOT what I expected at all. Blimey.

Thank goodness for fanfic, that's all.

Yes! Exactly. And then sitting to the end credits to see THAT? Blimey O'Reilly.

And now there's a whole year until the next movie. That's really the part I hate the most with these franchises.

And what the hell are they going to do in the next one!! After all, the effects weren't instantaneous so what we ended up with at the close might not be the end of the halving of the universe.... if you see what I mean. Don't want to say too much. LOL

I'd guess that they're going to be able to reverse most of it somehow. There are some pretty powerful characters in the Marvel universe that we haven't seen in the movies yet and that might be able to help with that kind of thing.

Or maybe Thanos himself will reverse things with the time stone once he realises there's not much point in a universe where he's all alone and loveless...

See, this is the thing that I never get about super-villains. What's the point in killing and destroying everyone and everything? Then you're left ruling a bunch of nothing. Where's the fun in that??

Well Thanos reckoned he was doing it for the good of everyone to give them all better lives and it wasn't to necessarily rule any one so when the results aren't panning out, maybe he'll reconsider the sacrifices he made to get there.

Ah, well, I'm not really a fan of the MCU. I've watched pretty much all of the movies but I'm only truly invested in a couple of the characters, and I can't say I've paid much attention to Thanos' motivations.

Anyway, I do think that a lot of the stuff that happened in this movie won't stick. Something or someone is going to put things right again. There might still be casualties, but it won't be as widespread as what we got here. It's interesting to note that two of the characters that I was sure were going to die in this one ended up surviving, so they might die in the next one while saving everyone else.

Aye you could be right there. The rumours I'd heard beforehand revolved around Marvel effectively clearing out a whole bunch of the older, established actors in order to bring in a younger set - which was actually being parodied in the Deadpool trailer ahead of the Avengers! LOL
