We don't know what the actual plot is yet, he could still be saying all the trailer soundbite poo poo about population control to the Avengers before he realises Gamora and Nebula are there to blow his poo poo up, embarrass him and tear down the facade. "no! NO! he's just a deadbeat loser who cant get over his highschool girlfriend!!" "look, he's still wearing his gold letterman armor." Which causes him to go apeshit and really destroy the Earth.

That would be better. Deadbeat yokel Dad still pining for his glory days of the past and high school fantasy GF he could never get with and has spent his whole life building up and trying to nail. His two sassy and estranged daughters begrudgingly help and it unites them.

Could have even cast Bruce Campbell as Thanos and you could murder your fast quip mark and not needed a CG chin.

Has there been any talk as to why the MCU release schedule has shifted to front-loading the year? There's almost always been an autumn release since Phase Two, but now 2018/2019 have no late release films and seem to be switching to the first half of the year only. Even though Infinity War was pushed up, it was still originally going to be earlier. With Ant-Man & The Wasp coming in July that's 4 movies within 8 months including Ragnarok last November, and then nothing this fall/winter. It seems odd to put them out so quickly and so close to each other. I was thinking it could be because of Star Wars, but there's no Star Wars film releasing this winter, just Solo in May.

This is pretty common. For whatever reasons, despite the many, many advancements both in the technology and the craft of CGI, people who get hit and go flying always look dodgy. It's not just texturing and lighting, they don't even move like humans, or even 3d objects. It must just be a shot that's always left on the bottom of the pile until the last minute or something.

Thanos being a big dumb Malthusianist owns. However, it is also dumb and pointless. Like the art of film in general.

Disney uses Star Wars in December to pump its Q4 financials. They're pretty clearly looking at Solo as a sunk cost.

Like we're talking "her name is Penyth Galtrow and her Evil Organization, POOG, is controlling the minds of women with amethyst eggs that they're saying have special cleansing power if they're shoved up the rear end" NVM actually that's gonna be the Deadpool/Kingsman crossover

None of the things you’ve mentioned are hard to grasp in concept. It’s a person that happens to look like a Raccoon. It’s person that happens to look like a tree and has a limited vocabulary. They’re all just stand in’s for people. Their interactions would work the exact same if they were people. This is basically the Marvel formula. No matter how weird it seems (Norse god, talking tree, living planet, etc) they’re all just folk who like to quip and joke around like you and your buddies!

Every character in everything is a stand in for a person because we haven't met aliens or AIs yet. Except the robot in Rocky IV, the only truly convincing evocation of a malevolent, alien consciousness.

Perhaps the reason a few are missing is cause Fury is gonna form a secret Avengers where Capt Marvel, Hawkeye, Wasp, Ant Man and Luis, Kurt and Dave have to save the original Avengers and pull the end of all things back from the brink for the next Avengers movie. I do want a recap by Michael Pena. Possibly Thanos and his crew interrogating him where he has to spill the beans but it confuses the poo poo out of everyone.

It is a personification that doesn't even talk to Thanos in the storyline (she basically cold shoulders him constantly which is still a human emotion).

My guess is that a personification of death might be a little more metaphysical than Marvel is willing to get right now. Asgardians are basically advanced aliens, and even Doctor Strange frames magic as a kind of science in practice. Death kind of enters a realm of spirituality that hasn’t really been present in the MCU up to this point (except maybe just recently with Black Panther).

That reminds me one of the only good things about the movie was how his hand motions for when he's manipulating time are akin to someone in a video editing pod. Movies are so weird, like we already had Hela herself in a well-received MCU movie, is Death that much of a jump? And like everything with Ego in Guardians II was waaaaaaay out there compared to just about anything else they've done. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Mar 20, 2018 |

Uh, they already had a goddess of death show up in Thor 3, I could see Thanos being into her. They could have made his goal to restore her to power with the infinity gauntlet, and to serve Thor up to her to win her favor.
