I find myself drawn to the more independent ones (Doctor Strange, Ant-Man etc) so I think I’ll probably like Black Panther

 

Yeah, me too, I got a boner watching the trailer, it's the first time for a Marvel movie. It must mean something!

An actual one or a metaphorical one?

Those aren't independent movies at all! It's all Marvel or Disney!

I may have started to give up on Marvel completely. All the latest entries were rather bland, Guardians 2 and Thor 3 were closer to bad for me. The last ones I enjoyed were Ant-Man and Dr. Strange, and GotG is usually so crazy in most aspects that it can almost singlehandedly carry the movie. But Ragnarok was just bad. I lost any sort of investment back at Ultron (which is the only one I saw at the cinema, with my kinda-girlfriend), but up until this, they were at least tolerable. This one scratches the low bar of that. Infinity War is the one I'm kind of looking forward to, in hopes of there being a ton of entertaining character interactions in the focus, we have a lot of strong personalities that will have to cooperate somehow.

Their latest films are sloppier than usual. I mean, there's nothing particularly inventive about Doctor Strange or Ant-Man but they're well executed films which feel coherent. But within the last year, they got considerably worse. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, for all its eye-popping visuals, was actually quite boring. Thor: Ragnarok had similar problems and Black Panther managed to outdo both of them in dullness department. Which is a shame because there was a potential there to make something bit more interesting thematically. Only Spider-Man: Homecoming felt like a complete coherent story. It is actually really funny because the overall direction of this film was the most generic of the lot. But it was refreshingly breezy and smaller in scale than anything else in the MCU.

Hard to make anything out of it.  Very busy.  I did like the jokey bits though.

 

I'll take the adventures of Peter Parker in a red ski mask a million times over the previous trailer's CGI Iron Spider business, though, so a step up.

That was fun.  I enjoyed the twinkly Avengers theme in the beginning and the trailer-ized Avengers theme at the end

 

I think its actually pretty cool what Marvel is able to acomplish here, taking huge summer blockbuster tentpole characters and bringing them all together.  Its pretty unique and unlikely to be rivaled for a long time; the DC stuff just doesn't have the same effect.

Agreed. Even with the occasional misfire, what they've accomplished is incredible. Movies, TV shows, shorts-- all occupying the same universe, and some of them overlapping. I'm really looking forward to this.

I prefer some DC movies over Marvel though.

Not a fan of those Superhero team-up movies. I prefer the ones that deal with just one superhero character.

I have can't quite decide whether I'm excited or not... but it's nice to see Marvel using an Avengers theme to promote an Avengers film.

Decided to see what it would be like if Silvestri scored all 3 Cap films. It's disappointing to think of the lost potential in musical continuity, but glad he's back for Infinity War. I hope to hear Caps theme return, as it's my favourite theme in the MCU.

Same here. By my count, there will be 22 superheroes facing off against Thanos in this one. I hardly expect a single one to die, so maybe the film is just one gigantic, 3-hour stalemate? (After all, there's Part 2 to deliver next year, right??) So much at stake in this one.

 

I just finished ranting over on the Indy 5 thread about how craptastic these MCU properties have become. I mean, seriously, what will we see that is truly different from the two dozen prior installments? Perhaps what interests me the most about this one is if they explain why battle strategies in the 21st century involving individualistic superheroes and beings from the other side of the universe (as shown in the trailer) appear to derive substantially from the Napoleonic era.

Well if you read the original Infinity Gantlet storyline and knew what Thanos' plan was... I won't spoil it.

I forgot these movies take their storylines from the comic books. Are you saying I might be pleasantly surprised by what Thanos does? 'Cause that would be fine by me!

If their adaptation of The Infinity Gauntlet is anything like their "adaptation" of Extremis (Iron Man 3), Civil War (Captain America 3), or Ragnarok/Planet Hulk (Thor 3), it will basically be an adaptation in name only.

Let's just say if they follow that storyline, Thanos' plan will be heavily divisive among the population.

 

Ah, yes.. the trailer says that, I remember. I don't know what it means, although I suspect now it must involve the whole of Earth's population--which are pretty good stakes, I'll admit. I'm ready to (mostly) retract my rants from yesterday if the movie/story is good.

I doubt it will be that massive in scale. It's not really doable on film.

Their order in the post needs to be switched. The Infinity War poster came first. The Dragon Ball poster was done by a Reddit user afterward.

Joe, please don't attack other board members by calling them pathetic.  We should try to be nice to each other here, not mean to each other, especially for no reason whatsoever, completely uncalled for out of the blue.

Joe did nothing but give his opinion. Why are you arbitrarily attacking him again?

attack?  What?

 

So, in your opinion, this is not an attack:
