It just dawned on me that i forgot to post my thoughts on the third Avengers flick. I saw it the night it came out, then once more yesterday, so there is a start on my thoughts, i've seen it twice. This is an epic film, remember the awe you felt watching the first Avengers? You get that here! While post Avers films have been great, none have felt this large, not even Civil War, hell to me the closest is Guardians 2, but here we get the Empire Strikes Back of the MCU. By that, i mean it ends on a down note, nay, it starts on a down note. From the opening scene we are greeted to deaths of characters, the set up happens fast and our characters are split up into different factions. We get an Earth team, mainly in Wakanda, we get two outer space teams, one on Knowwhere & Titan(well on Titan two teams form another), plus one last team on Nidavelir. The character interactions are fantastic, Iron Man & Doctor Strange, Iron Man & Starlord, Starlord & Spider Man, Spider Man & Dr Strange, Thor & Rocket, are all highlights. As i expected, the Guardians steal the show, in particular the dynamic between Starlord & Gamora, Rocket's depth, Mantis' background shenanigans, and anything involving Drax. The battles are great, all of them, the surprises are welcome, and the deaths can pull the heart strings, and all the actors run with it, Rocket watching Groot die, Peter Parker hugging Tony Stark. Thanos is one of the best villains in the MCU, only bellow Loki, but definitely more villainous than him. He has layers and lucked out to be portrayed by Josh Brolin. He has a great idea, just a terrible way of getting his idea across the galaxy. Where does part 4 leave us? Where does Ant Man fit in? Will Venom pay any reference to this? Will the tv series be effected? Find out, next year, Same Cpt. Marvel Time, Same Cpt. Marvel channel!
