THE MAGICAL WORLD OF DIDS
RIGHT BACK AT IT AGAIN
AVENGERS
TO INFINITY & BEYOND: AVENGERS – INFINITY WAR
May 13, 2018 PDidio91Avengers, Disney, Infinity War, Marvel, MCULeave a comment
Two weeks is a long enough wait before talking about a movie right? I think so,
but if you disagree then WARNING!!!! Infinity War Spoilers ahead! You have been
warned!
It’s finally here, the beginning of the climax for the entire Marvel Cinematic
Universe! I still vividly remember seeing the original Iron Man in theaters.
What started out as one small movie has now expanded into an 18 story epic that
has all been building to this! This is Infinity War.
Plot
The Mad Titan Thanos has begun his rampage across the universe in search for the
six Infinity Stones to complete his Infinity Gauntlet. With all six Infinity
Stones Thanos plans to erase half the universe’s population to bring balance to
life. Two Infinity Stones are currently on Earth putting it in the cross hairs
for Thanos and his “Children” to wreak havoc. It’s up to Earth’s mightiest
heroes and the Guardians of the Galaxy to join together and prevent Thanos from
completing his universal genocide.
Villains
When a villain has been built up since 2012, it had better live up to the hype,
and it’s clear within minutes of the film that Thanos is everything fans have
been hoping for. Josh Brolin does an incredible performance as the Titan making
him both horrifying and oddly relatable at the same time. Let’s set the record
straight: Thanos doesn’t want to eliminate half the universe’s population to
rule over it as its leader. No, Thanos believes eliminating half the population
will preserve life for the entire universe. The universe is finite in its
resources and must be kept in check. In Thanos’ eyes the only way to save the
universe is to cut down the population. I personally think making it rain
potatoes would be sufficient but what do I know? Like Kilmonger before him,
Thanos is a villain that you can’t really argue with. The problem he is trying
to fix is one that you can’t deny. Sure his methodology may be a bit off, but in
his eyes he’s the hero. That’s what makes him one of the best villains the MCU
has ever conceived. Thanos will literally do whatever it takes to complete his
mission (more on that later). He’s also a terrifyingly powerful villain. He
manages to beat the Hulk in mere seconds, survives attacks that would kill
basically anyone else, and defeats literally all the Avengers and half the
Guardians of the Galaxy all at the same time.
Up to this point the only “Children of Thanos” that we knew were Gamora and
Nebula, but Infinity War gave us the rest when they introduced Ebony Maw, Corvus
Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Cull Obsidian. They only said their names maybe
once in the entire film, but don’t worry you remember them because of their
actions. Squidward… I mean Ebony Maw is particularly memorable due to him having
a larger amount of lines. All four though are great villains that prove to be a
formidable opponent for both the Guardians and the Avengers. They may be minions
to Thanos but they are not to be taken lightly, they defeat the Avengers and
Guardians multiple times throughout the film up until the final battle. They
also bring a majority of the action sequences in the film and they lead to some
great pair ups with different heroes in the MCU, you can’t ask for much more
than that when their primary role is to make Thanos seem ever more menacing.
Best Scenes
I could honestly compile a top ten list of the best moments from this movie
alone, but I’m going to limit myself to two best scenes this time. This first
one though is one that I think everyone saw coming: The Battle of Wakanda.
Without a doubt the best battle in the entire MCU. The Children of Thanos invade
Wakanda in order to capture Vision and steal the Mind Stone from him so the
Avengers team together with the Wakandan tribes to stop Thanos’ plans. The
battle has everything: Hulkbuster armor, a badass beatdown by some of Marvel’s
best ladies, an insanely cool entrance by Thor, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot, and
even a lot of laughs. The two funniest bits by far are whenever Groot introduces
himself to Captain America and all he can muster to say back is, “I am Steve
Rogers.” At that point, the kid from Brooklyn had seen just about everything.
Another hilarious moment is when Winter Soldier picks up Rocket Raccoon and uses
him as a new weapon and Rocket then asks Winter Soldier how much he’s paying for
his robot arm (because of course he would.). Then of course the ending is one of
the most heart wrenching, emotional sequences you’ll find in any film, not just
in the superhero genre. Thanos wins at the end of the battle and snaps his
fingers killing half the universe and we the audience are forced to watch
characters we’ve grown to love, die right in front of us. Not only that but
every single BFF/Bromance in the MCU lost someone. Cap lost Bucky, Rocket lost
Groot, the Guardians lost literally everyone, and worst of all, Tony lost Peter
Parker IN HIS ARMS. The Battle of Wakanda is something I’ll never ever forget.
This picture isn’t from the scene, but this scene is kept so secretly you can’t
find any pictures for it!
The second best scene in the film concerns the mystery of the Soul Stone. Up to
this point there were absolutely ZERO hints as to where it could be. People had
theories and speculations, but we had to wait until Infinity War to get our
answers. Turns out the only person who knew the location of the Soul Stone was
none other than Gamora. Thanos tortures Nebula to get Gamora to reveal the
location of the Soul Stone and Thanos forces her to take him there. They travel
to the far away planet of Vormir and are met by the “Stonekeeper” who warns
Thanos of the power of the stone. It’s at this point audiences started to think
“Man this guy sounds familiar I can’t put my finger on it…” then the
Stonekeeper’s identity was revealed!
…RED SKULL!!!!! When I wrote about Captain America: The First Avengers I said we
were probably never going to see this guy again, but holy shit was I wrong and I
am 100% OK with that! Red Skull warns Thanos that in order to get the Soul Stone
he must show that he understands the stone’s power. He must trade the soul of
someone he loves for the soul stone. That trade comes by hurling a loved one off
a cliff. It’s at this point Gamora beings to laugh and cheer mocking Thanos that
after all the years of work, the Universe itself ruined his mission because he
loves nothing in the Universe. It’s at this point Thanos looks to her with tears
in his eyes. Gamora laughs surprised he’d cry in defeat which is when Red Skull
says this,
“Those tears aren’t for him.”
Thanos does love something: his daughter Gamora. Though heartbroken Thanos
doesn’t hesitate to grab his beloved daughter and throw her to her death. From
start to finish the entire scene was shocking, heartbreaking, and completely out
of nowhere. Nobody saw this one coming.
Stan Lee Cameo
Again, Marvel is doing a good job of keeping spoilery pictures off the internet
so instead of a photo of the actual cameo, enjoy this cameo from Deadpool 2!
This amusing small cameo came at the beginning of the film. The Children of
Thanos arrive at Earth with their ship and Peter Parker asks his friend to
distract everyone else on the bus so he can escape as Spider-Man. The kids start
screaming that they’re going to die at the sight of the ship which is when Stan
Lee, the bus driver says, “What’s the matter haven’t you seen a spaceship
before!?” We’ve been at this for 18 movies now guys, spaceships are almost an
everyday occurrence in New York.
Post Credits Scene
We find Nick Fury and Maria Hill in New York when suddenly the effect of Thanos’
genocidal snap begin. Vehicles begin crashing, helicopters falling from the sky,
and chaos ensues. Confused, Fury calls for backup with a Code Red. Suddenly
though, Hill calls out to Nick and it’s clear she’s dying. Fury runs to his
vehicle to grab a pager but then notices he’s beginning to fade as well. His
last words being, “Mother f….” Nick hits the button on the pager and it falls to
the ground. It shows the pager ringing and then received with a logo Marvel fans
should find all too familiar: Captain Marvel is on her way! There’s still hope!
Final Thoughts
This movie has been ten years in the making and it was worth every second of
waiting! I honestly can’t think of anything negative to say about it I loved it
the whole way through. It gave us so many great pair ups such as Tony Stark and
Doctor Strange, Thor with the Guardians, and Bruce Banner and Shuri. Thanos
certainly lived up to the hype as well being both terrifying and understandable.
The movie almost shows Thanos as the hero! At the end of the film once he kills
half the universe we see him retired enjoying peace and smiling as the sun
rises. Marvel ALMOST has you rooting for this guy after he kills almost every
hero we’ve come to love over the years. Yes the ending is literally soul
crushing and difficult to watch for diehard fans, but those same fans had to
know going into this that the film was going to end that way. Now the one year
wait for Avengers 4 is going to be absolutely brutal, but we’ve got Ant-Man and
the Wasp along with Captain Marvel on the way to keep us busy until then.
Thanos Meme
The only play the Avengers have left! Maybe if Tony gives Thanos a stern talking
to he’ll surrender????
TO INFINITY & BEYOND: AVENGERS – AGE OF ULTRON
March 17, 2018 PDidio91Age Of Ultron, Avengers, Disney, Marvel, MCULeave a
comment
We’ve had our fun in space with the Guardians of the Galaxy, but it’s time to
head back to Earth and see what’s going on with the Avengers! Last we left them,
HYDRA defeated SHIELD and was all over there world… oh and there were fire
breathing superhumans and Dark Elves. Needless to say, things haven’t gotten any
calmer for Earth’s mightiest heroes.
Plot
Ever since HYDRA was ousted, the Avengers have been around the world trying to
clear any and all of their strongholds. They eventually learn that HYDRA’s new
leader Baron Strucker has Loki’s mind altering scepter, and set out to retrieve
it. It’s there that the Avengers meet two people with abilities: Quicksilver who
has super speed and Scarlet Witch who is a sorceress. Thanks to Scarlet Witch,
Tony Stark has a horrific vision of all the Avengers dying because of him not
doing enough. With this new fear in the back of his mind, Tony and Bruce Banner
use the power of Loki’s staff to create a safety program to help the world named
Ultron. Little do they know though, that Ultron can both the Avengers and the
world to its knees.
Villain
As the name suggests, the villain is Ultron; an artificial intelligence created
by Bruce Banner and Tony Stark in the hopes that it would be the leading defense
for Earth effectively removing the need for the Avengers. Ultron, however,
becomes self aware and self serving and decides the best way to bring peace is
to eradicate Earth’s biggest danger: humanity. Ultron has access to any computer
in the world meaning that defeating him is borderline impossible. With Loki’s
scepter he can control people to his whim as well and almost becomes one with
the scepter’s power (which ends up being an Infinity Stone). After stealing
vibranium, Ultron turns an entire city into a floating meteor and almost
destroys all of humanity. He’s the most intelligent villain the Avengers have
ever faced, almost immortal, and has an Infinity Stone… yet something about him
just doesn’t seem right. I love the comic book version of Ultron: as a machine
programmed to save the Earth, the best way to do so is to remove humans. The
film version of Ultron has the same motivation, yet for some reason he acts and
speaks like a human. He also quotes the Bible all the time… again he’s a robot
who hates humanity yet he seems like humanity’s biggest fan.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are villains for a majority part of the film
serving as Ultron’s minions. Quicksilver is pretty one note: he runs fast and
that’s about it. Scarlet Witch is definitely a more interesting character with
the ability to read minds and make people see their deepest fears. She’s
probably the strongest superhero in the MCU up to this point because her power
is unpredictable and based on her emotion. One moment she’s perfectly fine, the
next she gets angry and vaporizes everything around her. Luckily for the
Avengers she joins their fight to save the world.
Best Scene
The Incredible Hulk vs. Tony Stark in the Hulkbuster Armor. What else could it
be? Not only is it the best fight in Age of Ultron, it’s one of the best fights
in the entire MCU. After the original Avengers, Bruce helped Tony build an Iron
Man suit capable of standing up to the Hulk in case Bruce ever lost control.
That suit is finally put into action after Scarlet Witch uses mind control on
Bruce turning him into the Hulk. Hulk goes on a rampage in a nearby city and
Tony calls in the Hulkbuster Armor to stop him. The two turn the city to rubble
and the Hulkbuster wins in the most Tony Stark fashion. Tony carries Hulk above
a skyscraper being built, BUYS THE BUILDING only so he can smash Hulk through it
seconds later. It’s a hilarious, epic and extremely memorable fight and it was
great to finally get to see the Hulkbuster on the big screen especially since it
was notably absent in the Iron Legion in Iron Man 3.
Stan Lee Cameo
After the Avengers successfully defeat Strucker and retrieve Loki’s staff, the
team has a party at Avengers Tower. At one point Thor breaks out booze he
brought from Asgard that has been aged for 1,000 years. He says it was “aged in
the barrels of Grunhel’s fleet. It is not meant for normal men,” which is when
Stan Lee, an army vet, says “Neither was Omaha beach blondie! Stop trying to
scare us, come on.” He then is seen being drunkenly dragged out of the party
while mumbling his infamous line “Excelsior!” The line at the end is the icing
on this delicious cameo cake!
Post Credits Scene
A dark room is opened revealing a large gold gauntlet. The one opening the vault
is none other than Thanos! Because of course it is! We have Thanos, we have
Infinity Stones, eventually the Mad Titan was going to get his gauntlet! Thanos
simply says the words, “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” No more minions getting the
stones for him. Soon the starways will bathe in the blood of his victims.
Final Thoughts
This movie is very hit and miss. There are great action sequences, interactions
between the Avengers, and it introduces us to the Vision, but the villain
overall is kind of a downer. He speaks like a Bible thumper and although he’s
almost immortal he’s never really proven to be as much of a threat as Loki was.
Also, Winter Soldier introduced us to Baron Strucker who is a major villain in
the Marvel Comics, but this film made him look like a joke killing him off in
the first half an hour. The original Avengers is one of the best superhero films
of all time, so expecting this to surpass that was always going to be a hard
sell, but nevertheless Age of Ultron is a fun film.
