It got better over the last couple of episodes, but just didn't meet my expectations. Felt anti-climatic and uneventful. Let's fight our way back to the moon and then runaway again after it's destroyed. Not sure if ABC will carry it over next year though, between the Friday time slot, the failed IMAX opening attempt and then the lackluster ratings - I think it's doomed to go any further, unless there is a tie-in or one-off with AoS.
Not sure where I fall on this. While, yes, multiple actors have played Batman, Spider man, etc., they haven't been replaced while maintaining continuity within the films. I feel like Marvel has laid out such a road map that that it would be hard to do without rebooting everything. After all these films, can you really see anyone stepping in and replacing RDJ or Chris Evans in their respective roles? Those guys have become synonymous with those characters.
I knew none of these. I had heard of Iron Man, but my first glimpse of Antman and GotG were in the trailers for the movies. And I thought that raccoon was going to be super stupid. What do I know?
You have to be familiar with Thanos to really get the impact. But this was/is a HUGE event in the comics.
Agree. And I'll likely love every damn minute of Avengers: MOAR SUPERHEROES.
I'll definitely see this one and loved the Infinity Gauntlet arc, but yeah, I'm kind of superheroed out
Kinda, but I knew from GotG and the movies that followed that this wasn't going to be my thing as they crammed more and more in there and introduced talking raccoons and time manipulating monks into the equation. But, like I said, they will still get my $.
They only made 17 movies that all lead up to this one (and the sequel to this one), but hey, you've seen everything already so if I were you, I'd skip it.
That's pretty much what comics are.
I should be more clear, and it's not like I am against all superhero movies like some are. I really like several of the characters and some of the movies in the MU.
My understanding (and I'm know there are those who know more about Disney than I do...so if I'm wrong please correct) is that Disney sees the Guardians of the Galaxy as their big solely owned (characters/movies/theme park rights) franchise within the Marvel Universe.....so yeah.....you're probably going to be subject to a healthy dose of trees and raccoons in the near future.I should be more clear, and it's not like I am against all superhero movies like some are. I really like several of the characters and some of the movies in the MU.
I get that it's what comics are to a point, but there are some stories that are more grounded than others and some bad guys that are interesting. I think Capt 2 is fantastic and really like the new Spidey for that reason. For me it gets dull when it's just dull CGI bad guy and everybody crammed in one movie, so there are less character moments that's all. And yes, I knew this is what we were leading up to when we were getting more and more weird/spacey movies.
Your second bolded part makes me even more nervous, because that probably means it's more of the actors that have been doing this the longest and are more likely the ones that I really like and I am going to be stuck with talking trees and raccoons going forward.
Someone at work thought the guy with his back turned at :20 is him, but I think it's Thor. Renner is listed as part of the cast on iMDb.
I am pretty sure that was Thor too. He was on a spaceship and was during his voice over.
Groot: I am Groot.I should be more clear, and it's not like I am against all superhero movies like some are. I really like several of the characters and some of the movies in the MU.

Eh, Thanos, who is supposed to be the baddest villian in the universe, just did not seem that menacing to me. Looked like a bouncer in a white supremacist bar.
You're right. Every run of the mill baddie could subdue Vision and yank the mindstone out of his head with what looked like very little effort. Good call.
I never loved the CGI on Thanos. They should have went with an actor and prosthetics.
He's the voice yes, but it's all CGI. Doesn't work for me with Thanos, for some reason the Hulk looks fine though.
It's motion capture so just like the Hulk. I think it looked fine, significantly better than Stepphenwolf in Justice League.
Yeah I know it's like the Hulk, just doesn't work as well for me. It's not as bad as Steppenwolf, but compare to the Lord of Darkness from a movie that was made over 30 years ago.
I believe to be exact it is motion capture. Brolin is doing all of the motion capture work along with the voice, similar to what Serkis did for Golum and other characters.
Was thinking the same, he's technically retired at this point isn't he? Probably wouldn't be called into action until after Thanos lays an ###-whoppin' on everybody else. Of course, not sure what a guy with a bow and arrow can do against infinity stones though. However, he might be key in reuniting the Avengers together, looks like they are still very much fragmented apart in the trailer after the events of Civil War. Also, I thought Thanos cgi looked a lot better in the trailer than he did in the earlier short bits we got in other movies.
oh you are right!! I missed both him and Wasp and they are both suppose to be in this. Here is what I read online about them missing:
Think that plays in well with an obvious theory, you have the established super hero's getting owned by Thanos in Part 1. So they will possibly introduce something game changing in Ant-Man & the Wasp and/or in Captain Marvel to give them a chance of beating him in Part 2.
I feel like they have to kill some characters off. My money is on Black Widow. Throws Hulk into a bigger rage.
Rumors are that Weadon fought like hell to have a more important character than Quicksilver die in Avengers 2 but was denied. They could not even approve Rhody dying in Civil War and that was not a major character in any way.
Several actor contracts are up after the second Infinity movie....so I'm guessing characters do die.
This would be great. The guy can absolutely steal a scene. Let him here and there in upcoming movies.
