Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION - DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, STARMUNCH!

For a supposed budget of $1bn for the combined two*, it needs to :p. What, that's probably $2-2.5bn to break even (RDJ is meant to be getting $200m for both :eek:)?


*How on earth is a Pirates sequel the current record holder for most expensive film :rolleyes:?

I think the difference is that the Marvel movies are made by the company that makes the comics. They know and love the material. The Fox/DC (non-Marvel Studios) movies are made by people who make films. They always want to mess with the source material because "they know better", because it's all about making money rather than making a good films (the two are not mutually exclusive). Marvel owning and understanding the comics has directly fed into them knowing how to make good films for their characters.

It can be done, look at Nolan's Batman, or Logan, Deadpool or even the first two Burton Batmans. They had a heart, a story, characters you cared about or were just a lot of fun. Film studios trying to cash in with nothing but flashy visuals are missing the point. People haven't been reading the comics for the last seventy years because of the great special effects, but because of the stories and characters. That's something Marvel Studios understand, and other studios rarely do.

You're also forgetting that Zac Snider is a ******* hack of a director, he has the visuals but has no idea how to create characters, and yet DC keep using him....it boggles my mind.

He seems to struggle to create realistic characters that feel like real people. Instead almost all his are fairly 1 dimensional (300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, DC stuff) and I think DC went with him for his "lets have it look amazing. because thats what the viewers want" attitude where as in Marvels films the characters still feel "real" and fleshed out in comparison, so people care more about them and their story as well as liking the flashy visuals.
 
Yep, Snyder is all style and no substance. I don't think it's a coincidence that my favourite film of his, is the one with the lowest budget (Dawn of the Dead remake, which I just found out was written by James Gunn of Guardians of the Galaxy fame).
 
you should listen to some of synders commentaries - he is a child who does things/scenes only because he thinks they look 'cool'.
He has no idea and seemingly no desire to make characters or understand the source material.

Hopefully Hulk goes absolutely nuts in this one, feel hes been under powered so far in the films.

I hope he does too but I wouldn't know what difference it would make since Thanos is stronger (having invincible skin) even without the gems? With regards to the Hulk, I didn't like the way he was so easily dispatched by the Hulk-buster and how he was "evenly matched" by Thor in Ragnarok.

Thanos:

I mean it's like death comes to call for the Avengers. This is a nearly unbeatable force who is determined to destroy half the life in the universe to bring it to balance. He sees it as an overgrown garden that he needs to prune. As you mentioned, he is fairly invincible He's a sort of genetic mutation who's the Genghis Khan of the universe. He's unbeatable on the battlefield, stronger than the Hulk, skin is invincible. So it's going to cost the Avengers something to defeat him.

A lot of them will likely die, though not necessarily all in Infinity War.

Note they haven't even announced the name of the next movie yet, so I'm guessing the title alone is a spoiler. (No speculation please)

I thought this was common knowledge? Ps the name of the second movie (the one I've seen) isn't as bad as you'd think....

that would be a bit odd though as they have said the title will be a spoiler, and that isn't really.
 
I would have liked to have tried to watch the previous 17/18 movies in the run up to this, but I simply haven't got time.

So what would be your minimum essential movies for this? I'd probably say:

Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy (A few Thanos scenes)
Age of Ultron
Civil War


Which leaves out a lot of my favourites (Iron-man, Winter soldier etc) and means I have to watch Age of Ultron again :(
