How many super heroes are going to be in Infinity War?

Avengers Infinity War is bound to be amazing, after all, it is the battle that all of the MCU films have led up to. It is called Infinity War because Thanos wants to destroy the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet. This film will have the most super heroes any movie has ever included, but how many? We already know that all the people from Civil War will be participating (so that makes 12), no Netflix characters will be involved and from the Infinity War trailer we can see many more but who else will help save the world with earths mightiest heroes?

Who is definitely going to be in it?

 We know for sure that Hulk and Thor will be returning - but we don't know how for sure - but, that will bring it up to 14. And, from Thor Ragnarok, we are not sure whether or not he will be considered a villain or a hero in this movie but Infinity War might will include Loki. Of course we see him handing over tesseract in the trailer but, who to? Then again we do see Thanos with the Space Gem in his Gauntlet later on. It has also been officially announced that the Guardians of the Galaxy will join in and come to earth or maybe, the film will be mainly set in space (which would be awesome)! Also the MCU film Doctor Strange included an Infinity stone the time gem, so that means he will need to be in it as well and his friend Wan. Although Captain Marvels film is after Infinity War, she is also going to help along side the others. Also Black Panthers friend, Nakia as she is in the trailer; let's not forget his other sisters Okoye and Shuri. That makes 28/9 (Loki dependant) heroes.


Who might be in it?

Now we've passed who is going to be in it let's go on to the rumours. Some will have their own film already but some might just be part of someone else's movie. First, we have the comic book and movie loved hero, Wasp. She is going to appear in Ant-man 2, but she might not help the Avengers for some reason. Now she is part of Ant-mans love life so it would be strange for her not to get involved, unless she is still completing her training - if so it'll more likely be she appears in Part Two. Others may be the Inhumans team! Their film will be released in 2018 on the 3rd of November (one year after Thor Ragnarok) and if it's good enough or maybe includes an Infinity Gem then they will definitely be included in the line-up for the second part. We have Thor's friends Korg, Mik and Valkerie. They are only in the maybe because Thor seems to be alone on the Milano but they just might tune in. And lastly, Peter Parker's friend, Ned.

Theory

This short paragraph will be explaining one character that could be included. In the comics he is someone who is very important to Infinity War which sees him created by Thanos and turning against him to join the Avengers. This unusual man is Adam Warlock, whose creation in the films does not follow the comics as he is created by the Sovereign Fleet at the end of GOTG2. The comics also show him with his funny, small sidekick called Pip the Troll, so he could be in it as well, although Pip's characters is so comical and fantasy based I think he's unlikely to be included. Also Adam's not in the trailer so if he does appear at all, I reckon it will be in Part Two.

Total amount:

So altogether the final result of costumed characters crazily cavorting and capering in continual combat *quote from Fantastic Four #3* is; there are 26 definites with 9 more that I think might appear. The next question we have to ask is how many villains will be in the movie, but I'll worry about that another day. If there are any others you think could appear put it in the comments. For now all I can say is enjoy Infinity War when it comes out! Opening date: Midnight 25th April! I have my tickets. Do you?

Last Jedi complaints: explained!



What a sequel! 
The second film of the third trilogy of the best film series/franchise in the galaxy just hit cinemas leaving me and most bewildered. For some reason there was a lot of hate for this movie about Luke character, the directing and Leia etc but I LOVED it. It wasn't the best Star Wars movie yet but it is up there with the previous film 'Force Awakens' although many others feel differently. I saw it as soon as possible and have seen it twice since and thought I should share my thoughts with you on this blog. This blog will be explaining that the people who complain about the following are wrong, here's why...


SPOILER WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!! DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE BUT, LIKE I SAID LAST TIME ABOUT ROGUE ONE, YOU KNOW YOU'VE SEEN IT, BECAUSE...

IT'S STAR WARS!!

Everyone's been picking sides on whether they liked this movie or not. First time seeing it I had no complaints but the second time I noticed the purpose of some of the things people have complained about. Lots of these has became memes now.
I have seen that rotten tomato gave this movie 90% but the audience, however gave it 49%. Many people who enjoyed the original trilogy found it a disappointment but who's to blame? Ryan Johnson, the internet, the script, Porgs... turns out it's the reviews that have changed peoples minds.


Luke Skywalker


 This was one of the biggest complaints. People found Luke wasn't... well... original. They thought he gave up too easily and was irrelevant to the story, but this was clearly a sign of moving on which every character does in this movie. Luke moves on from the Jedi order, Rey moves on from Luke, Fin moves on from relying on Rey, Poe moves on from being reckless, Kylo moves on from Snoke and so on. Luke may have been different, and even Mark Hamill thought it was stupid until he saw the movie, but if you don't like the new Luke then you don't like change. The other thing about Luke that people disagreed on, was his ability to appear on Crait when physically on Lah'mu. I believe that he channeled the power of a force ghost to visually project him whilst meditating and control his every move telepathically. for example: Iron Man in 'Iron Man 3' controls the Iron Man suit to talk to Pepper as he worked out in the floor below. This also happens with Loki and the Destroyer in 'Thor 1'. But the complaints were, "How could he not be using the force for most of the film then suddenly pull this stunt?" Well the answer is quite simple, HE IS THE LAST JEDI!! This whole movie has been about his power and how he abandoned it until this moment, why can't people see that?!


Flying Leia


Okay, when I saw this at the cinema I thought it was a bit weird, but I think it was just the way it was composed. The complaints have been, "How can Leia now be this strong with the force? Strong enough to fly?" Well, if you've seen the Star Wars trilogy you would know that Leia has the force!! Let's go back to Empire; Obi "He was our last hope," Yoda "No, there is another". We all know that he was referring to Leia. Throughout Star Wars, she has preserved her ability but in this desperate and literally dying moment she decides to show her power with resurrection. Of course it's weird they kept her alive when Carrie Fisher is now one with the force, RIP Carrie😢😢, and JJ Abrams said himself that there will be no CGI Leia but it does make a bit if sense in the plot for her to live. Also it was less flying than letting the force pull her back to the ship with its energy in a non gravitational place; it was the way it was composed and the camera angle that made it look like she was flying, which looked a bit silly.


Porgs??


I know what you're thinking, PORGS????? Since when was this a complaint. Well, you'd be surprised by the things people have been saying; it goes a bit like this...
"Great! They've made new Ewoks which are gonna sell good as kids toys and play no role at all besides childish humour and being cute, but if it's what Disney want's..."
Well, what more can I say than leave the Porgs, alone!!! What are people's problems? The Porgs role in the movie is to co-side with Luke on Acht-too to show that he isn't alone and to show a humorous bond with Chewy. It's not like they're Jar-Jar or anything, and sure they made some crappy memes but is Ryan Johnson to blame? NO!! The pubic is to blame for being bothered by such harmless things by believing their purpose is to please Mickey Mouse!!


Topless Ren


I take back what I said earlier, this made the biggest meme. It did shake everybody seeing Adam Drivers 0 pack and man boobs in a Star Wars  movie but everything in this blog has a purpose and this one is to show the audience that Rey and Kylo can actually see each other (as well as hear) as she asks him to put a shirt on.


Snoke in two


Another big complaint was Snoke being so easily halved by Kylo. This was to take the attention and theories of the audience off of thinking Snoke was more powerful than any Sith. It demonstrated Kylo's power and how he was the main event the whole time. This was clearly to surprise the audience and I think it was a great twist.

Okay I'll give you some complaints: The flight to the First Order cannon was long and dramatic but so quick to get back even on foot, the casino scene (Canto Bite) was meaningless, Admiral Ackbar dies (devastated!) and some of the humour was over done. What I don't understand is why, after three crappy prequels, some fans want to remove the Last Jedi from cannon and redo it? There is actually a petition for this to happen! I mean Attack of the Clones was by far the worst film (in my opinion) yet nobody makes a fuss but now a less CGI Star Wars film comes out people want to remake it. It wasn't the best film but it was up there and not that far behind Force Awakens. Anyway, I'm probably speaking too soon as episode IX may explain all this but I hope this blog has persuaded you to have less hate towards the film if you did. May the force be with you all!
