I'm starting to see it appear in the Disney forums and unrelated tech forums I've read. The hate is brewing.

That seems to be the pattern, doesn't it?  Every big tentpole film is great until it isn't.  This really seems to have kicked off with Episode I, but back then it took a while.  And now in the social media age the timeframe where the love turns to hate seems to be happening much faster than it ever did before.

Uh, where?  I have yet to read anything remotely bad about the movie other than people didn't like what happened to their favorite heroes at the end.   ???

Finally saw Infinity War last night. 

I'm not sure if the statute of limitations on spoilers has passed or not, but just curious if that is how the comics version went down.  I'm not a Marvel comics guy so I don't know the back story.  Safe to say I was surprised to see how that went down and will be interested to see what comes next.

PM me if its not safe to post spoilerish stuff four weeks after a movie is released.

I vote now it's on you if you haven't seen it and still go to threads about it at this point

Agreed.

In the comics it was similar but not exactly the same.  Thanos defeats all the heroes and obtains the 6 gems.  He kills a good many of them in the process.  But instead of being struck by Thor's axe and snapping his fingers immediately to wipe out half the universe, he kinda savors his new power for a while.  In the comics, the reason he wanted the stones was to win the love of Death (who's a female skeleton in the comics), not to bring balance to the universe.  After he gets them all, she's still not impressed and still won't love him.  So he finally follows through and snaps his fingers.

Apologies if I've said this before, but I would have liked it if they did something similar but the twist was that Thanos was in love with Hela, Goddess of Death instead. I know I'd go through all that trouble for Cate Blanchett  ;)

I had no knowledge of the comic ending, but thought the movie ending was brilliant. Thanos watching the sunset was awesome. I'm now smitten with Thanos.

I propose in these types of threads we impose a one week ban on spoilery plot talk.  Most of us will see it within a week of release.

On another note.....Deadpool 2 was freakin awesome!  ;D
This is the way.

There's a pretty cool promo image for Ant Man and The Wasp on Twitter, and one of the panel images shows Michelle Pfeifer's character.  Possible spoiler warnings may apply.

Not a possible spoiler - a definitive spoiler.  Figured they would go that route based on the original, but I'm surprised they gave it away like that.   :-\

Her character listing on IMDB gives it away to a degree, too.

But this image confirms that she appears in the film in more than just a flashback.

This just dropped:

Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel - Official Trailer

I never thought I'd see the day when a NIN t-shirt would be considered "vintage".

Really looking forward to this. I've become a big fan of this character over the past several years and it makes it even more fun because Captain Marvel comes second to only Rey with our daughter. Her excitement is through the roof for this movie. Really exciting.
