The Avengers: Infinity War Review
It doesn’t bother me when people dislike something I like; my taste in movies run towards the middle. I do take issue when people are dismissive about things I care about. In the podcast for the latest Avengers entry, the panel was fine except for the person who had only seen Black Panther because of its cultural significance. I appreciate that, but I didn’t appreciate that person’s snarky, dismissive comments about these pop cultural icons that I’ve cared about for 40 years. It may be Ragnawhatever to him, but it’s Thor and Hulk from my youth to me. It may seem like Wakanda was given short shrift to him, but this amazing movie balanced the screen time across multiple franchises in the MCU. Personally, I would have like more Cap and Okoye, but that wasn’t the movie. And why would anyone want to watch a movie series about superheroes where half of them are dead at the end of five hours? This isn’t an Ingmar Bergman movie and thank heaven for that. Personally, I think to get most of them back, one of the originals—probably Cap—will sacrifice himself. I think the stakes are high enough and the movie was enjoyable. Instead of being amazed by the upset people around you in the theater, recognize how people have identified with these characters for the 10 years of the MCU and 56 years of comic book storytelling. I was emotional watching the heroes of my youth in one movie played by an unbelievable cast. It was an amazing movie that never stopped thrilling and surprising me. Listening to this podcast became infuriating at the end.
