![]() ![]() That reminds me of another point I forgot to mention. Firstly, killing the good guys has been so in style lately that's becoming more a cliche than good guys always win. I know that's part of the Marvel brand, but this was supposed to be their Empire Strikes Back, showing that they could do "dark", killing off people the audience cares about and letting the bad guy win, and yet they seemed afraid to have any of the heroes go five seconds without making some quip or pop-culture reference. The dialogue relies waaaaay too heavily on snark. Obviously, the real reason is to make the marketing team's jobs easier, but it really shows how Thanos is a plot device, not a character in this. ![]() Really? Strange saw that giving Thanos control over time made his defeat more likely? How the fuck does that work?įor all they tried to shove their willingness to have Thanos kill major characters in the audience's face, they never provided any reason why Thanos didn't just insta-kill Iron Man and Spider-Man 5 minutes into the movie, even though he was clearly powerful enough to. If he has control over reality, why not just make unlimited resources? The existence of the Infinity Stones totally negates the rationale for killing anybody.ĭoctor Strange giving Thanos the Time Stone might be the dumbest plot contrivance in movie history. His plan is to get control over reality and wipe out half of all life, because there are limited resources and exponential population growth is unsustainable. After the first two or three action sequences, without any meaningful sense of rising tension beyond being told that Thanos has an extra MacGuffin that he didn't before, or any sort of character development, the scenes all kind of blend into one another and become boring. It feels like every scene was meant to be the climax. ![]()
