Infinity War review

I know this is a little past due since, if you haven't already seen this film then you must've been frozen in ice for 70 years. It is the No.1 subject everywhere so if you have avoided spoilers up to this stage then you are worthy of Asguards throne. For a spoiler-free paragraph I'm just going to say that I loved it and I don't know as single person who didn't. It has humour, action, suspense, romance, bits that'll make you cheer, bits that'll make you cry and best of all  - a bunch of one-liners that you'll hear mentioned in most conversations with your mates - especially those from Drax. So before I go into further detail I'm going to say, I very much advise you watch it if you haven't already and...

SPOILER WARNING!! IF YOU HAVE, VERY UNLIKELY, NOT SEEN THIS FILM! WATCH IT AND THEN READ THIS BLOG!!

This film blew my brain out of the cinema door into the next cinema screening, bumping into the other audiences blown-brains.There are bits that left you on edge like the Thor and Thanos scene when he stabs Thanos with an axe but then letting Thanos snap his fingers. So yeah, straight in there, Thanos snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe, along with random heroes: Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, Mantis, Drax, Bucky, Black Panther, Groot and saddest of all Spider-man. Which is strange as you may know Spidey has another couple of sequels upcoming and also most of the survivors (Thor, Iron Man, Cap and Hullk's) contracts expire after infinity war. There are many theories on where the people, who dissolved into dust and leaf thingy's, went - I am unsure what to believe but automatically  I thought they went to a parallel universe (like the upside down). Although I had a recent theory that the reality stone made the survivor see them dissolve when actually the survivors went into into a parallel universe and were destroyed but, again with the reality stone, they see life normally. Be expecting a theory from that soon.

Recently films with lots of heroes have felt rushed and out of place *cough* Justice League and *cough* Suicide Squad. This movie didn't cram the heroes in but introduced them in separate ways to not make it feel like they where irrelevant. Although, Clint and Scott weren't in it because of 'house arrest'. The film began with the tragic death of Loki and Heimdall (destrying my theory instantly that he had the soul gem) and Loki says my favourite line in the whole movie 'we have a hulk' (even though Hulks gets his ass kicked and sent to Earth in the next scene). Thanos gets the Teseract and already had  the orb - Thor briefly mentioned that Thanos destroyed Xandar a week ago. This was the one thing I didn't like, how in Guardians they were all about protecting Xandar and the galaxy (but mostly Xandar) and it only got a brief mention that it had been destroyed. The way the Guardians were introduced was the best; it was exactly how they'd do it in a Guardians film. They had their ship flying with the soundtrack of 'The Rubber Band Man' as Quill danced, Drax slept, Gamora sang, and Rocket yawned. They then saw Thor crash into their windshield and the chemistry of Thor and the Guardians was unreal. Star Lord was intimidated and tried to 'out-man' Thor with a fake British accent and the fact he had both eyes. Which reminds me, any errors on posters you may have seen as Thor has both eyes, are not errors as Rocket gave him a eye. Anyway, Rocket and Thor went off to get an axe for Thor with a giant dwarf guy, as Star Lord and the others went to Nowhere in an attempt to retrieve the reality stone. They were too late and Thanos took Gamora. Back on Earth, confused but epic Spiderman, fought alongside, Strange, Wong and Iron Man against Thanos's minions with confusing names. They board the ship and kill one of the minions 'alien' style and crash onto Titan. Quill, Drax and Mantis also go to Titan and think that Strange, Tony and Peter are Thanos's minion and threaten to kill them. Scratch what I said earlier this was the best line it went something a bit like this:

Quill: Where is Gamora?

Tony: I'll do you one better, who is Gamora?

Drax: I'll do you one better, WHY IS GAMORA?

This is the biggest meme at the moment. The fact that Drax felt like he had to be included and interrupted with something that didn't make sense is genius writing - but actually, this line was not in the script it was improvised by Dave Bautista - so now Dave is pretty much worshipped as a god for this one-liner. Anyway, on Earth we see that vision and Scarlet are hiding until they get hunted by others of Thanos's minions and then are saved by Cap, Falcon and Black Widow; this is another cheer out loud moment. They save Vision and Scarlet then they go to Wakanda with all the others 'heroes' on Earth. 

So, on Earth we have

Cap

Bucky

Falcon

Black Widow

Scarlet Witch

Bruce Banner

Black Panther

Shuri

Nakia
Vision
War Machine

 And on Titan we have:

Quill

Drax

Mantis

Iron Man

Spidey

Doctor Strange

After a lot of pain to make Thor's axe he finally wields it and has Groots arm for a handle. In the epic battle of the weird Alien Army vs Wakanda, a cool girl fight scene with Black Widow, Nakia, Scarlet Witch and the girl minion - Thor Groot and Rocket join in. All as on Titan, Thanos arrives! The heroes on Titan host a cool battle with Thanos as Iron Man ends up almost dead but Doctor Strange exchanges Tony's life for the Time Stone. This shocked a lot of people as Doctor Strange literally said earlier on that he will not hesitate to let Thanos kill Spidey or Iron Man to protect the Time Stone. But he can see into alternate futures and I think that handing over the Time Stone and Thanos snapping his fingers is, in some unexplained way, the way to win. Back on earth,Vision with the mind stone, is taking too long to Vision - it was meant to be an emotional moment but I have to admit, I really didn't care as this is how Thanos has been stopped from acquiring the final stone. In a twist, Thanos actually uses his power properly and reverses time to get it out his head before Scarlet can destroy it. This bit was a really 'uh-oh' moment when you realise that he can do that. Thor then sends his axe into Thanos's chest and just gives him the 'games over' face and let's Thanos be in pain. But then, he looks up at Thor and says "you should have gone for the head" and snaps... his... fingers!!

And then we see him looking at little Gamora all a sudden and she's all "Did you do it?"
Then Thanos is like "Yeah".
Then she goes "What did it cost?"
And he says "Everything!"

We go back to reality and see Thanos's glove is all crinkled then he disappeared and the list of peeps who I said at the start die dramatically and silently. But then there's the tear jerking "I don't wanna die" bit from Peter half of the Avengers, along with half of the population of the universe dissolve into leaves or mud or whatever. In the end, Thanos sits down on what we think is Titan overlooking the sunrise of a peaceful planet.
In the end of credit scene (surprisingly only one) we see Nick Fury and Maria Hill also dissolve but not before Fury sends a message on an old pager. The message just shows the Captain Marvel logo so we can safely assume it was to her. So that means...

Captain Marvels will play a big role in Part Two!!

So what did you think of the movie? I loved it personally and I don't know anyone who didn't like it! But maybe you didn't so let me know why. The only things I didn't like was Xandar's of screen death, the fact that Drax was not as big a part in the film (as he is in the comics) and I was surprised that Adam Warlock was not in part one and apparently not part two either. It didn't feel it was overloaded with superheroes and all of them had some sort of  chemistry with each other and I loved that. I can't wait for Ant Man and the Wasp, I think it might explain why wasn't in it, he may have gone subatomic and can't get out of the Quantum Realm or are just really tiny - who knows! Anyway, go see the movie if you just ignored the spoiler warning and enjoy! Enjoy all I can say now is thanks for reading this blog!

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?
