So, after 6 years of sitting on his Ass, Thanos has finally decided to rock up and wreck the MCU. Any thoughts on the Mad Titans super busy week of stone gathering?
Also, the Spoiler Tag should be used.
I thought it was pretty great. It was in abstract exactly what I expected, but the Movie still managed to suprise me. I've been waiting for this Movie since Iron Man 1 and I was not let down.

I gotta say, I thought Thanos was pretty great. At first glance, he could even come across as a noble being trying to save the Universe...until you remember that he is also incredibly cruel. So, at the end of the Day I don't buy it, pretty sure the whole angle is just what Thanos tell's himself. I imagine in the next Movie we'll end up seeing him as more straight up power hungry for the sake of it.
Having Thor and Hulk pummeled right at the beginning really sets the tone and immediantly tells you that Thanos is not fucking around, the Heros will be largely ineffective at combating him. A negative point is that despite the length of the Movie, it's still too many Characters to really do them Justice. Thanos "Children" are just kinda there, possibly with the exception of Ebony Maw...maybe Corvious Glaive (I think?). Though only Maw get's much chance for characterization beyond "badguy"...which is weird considering he's the first of them to bite the Dust. A lot of Characters don't really end up doing much aside from being present and with Wakanda being as present as it is, I think they should have released Black Panther earlier, these Movies shouldn't be running at the same time.
With the Ending, despite that it is obvious that those Characters are coming back (which is why I think that Marvel is fucking with us, this ending is there to set up the idea that there won't be consequences going forward so they can drop something big on us next Movie that sticks), I think they've set themselves up well. I'm currently hoping that Avengers 4 will actually pick up a few years later...it just took Time to pick up the pieces and find a way to do anything at all. But it could equally pick up immediantly after the last. Really, due to the nature of the Story, a lot of things can happen, which is why I personally am both excited...and annoyed that Avengers 4 is coming in a Year.
