 Anyone else watching? Pretty kino show with a lot of great period acting and atmospheric horror. It's a fictional rendition of the real life event of the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus' expedition through the Northwest passage with a supernatural twist. The best I can compare it to is early GoT with elements of Deadwood, Black Sails and Rome. Highly recommended desu's.

I don't understand how the ending was "gutsy."
you're pretty much alone on that
Erm, not really. Probably about 90% of the characters that died have confirmed sequels in the pipeline. The original Avengers remained untouched. You can pretty much see the Deus Ex Machina coming from a mile away. So it's a legitimate opinion to have, and I too share it.

She was the best one.

The movie wasn't anything special but that scene was A+ horror right there.
This scene could have been plucked out of The Three Stooges for how unintentionally comical it was.

Spoiler Does anyone else think Thor, Loki and Hulk fucked everything up in retrospect? I mean, if they hadn't killed Hela in Ragnarok and took the space stone off Asgard Thanos would have never accomplished anything. She would have literally turned that grapefruit inside out had he tried anything.
Why would she have been more successful than Thor?
Thor threw everything he had at her including his unlocked abilities and it didn't do anything. Considering it's implied she's literally unstoppable as long as Asgard exists, and Thanos was depicted to be somewhat mortal in IW, I think it's pretty evident who the victor would be.

Spoiler It was okay.
The character juggling was handled better than I expected but there was some semblance of favouritism I found. I think Cap had what, like 10 lines in total? I barely remember him in this film at all.
Thanos is good, probably the best MCU villain they have to offer right now, although that's not saying much. His motives were pretty retarded though. They basically turned him into a cosmic pest controller. "Hurr durr cull half the population of a literal infinite universe because there's not enough mouths to feed durr". Whatever Russo's.
I did however like the guilt character arc they're going with him, especially that dream sequence segment with kid Gamora. Feel like they could incorporate more of that into their film's.
I thought Disney were actually going to be ballsy with the culling act of the film but then I realised that none of the main Avengers were affected in any way, and 90% of the characters that died have already several sequels in the pipeline, so I don't really feel like their deaths are going to be all that impactful.
Overall it was a fairly watchable experience that I have no particular interest in seeing again. Pretty much what I expected from a MCU film bar a couple of tidbits that surprised me.
6/10

"I finally have a chance to prove myself to Mr Goebbels"
Um, did this take anyone out the film for a couple seconds? Seems out of character for Spidey.

The bit where Thanos threatens to kill half the universe and Spider-Man retorts "Including the kikes?" took me a bit off guard tbh.

The crime lord segment is by far the weakest part of the game. There's also a haphazardly constructed quest involving Djisktra that you can easily miss, which if you don't pick up on, omits an entire new storyline later on involving Radovid, which I think is kind of bullshit. CDPR obviously dropped the ball on this portion of the game.
Once you get to Skellige the game becomes kino again though.

Nobody is contesting the fact that these movies make money. In fact, I'd argue that's precisely why they warrant a lot more criticism than normal because other studios are starting to replicate the shared cinematic universe formula in order to catch the crumbs. Quite poorly too, I might add.
It's all well and good to say speak with your wallet, and not with your mouth, and yeah, that's partly true. But if you don't at least try and point out to people that these films only exist to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and original titles should be experienced too, then you're not helping the industry explore new avenues either, and you're just as complacent in the saturation of garden-variety blockbusters in the marketplace.
Did my post change your mind in any way? What makes you sure that you will change anyone else’s mind?
I don't. People are going to enjoy what they want to enjoy, and that's perfectly fine, even if I personally think their tastes are garbage. I don't expect anyone to suddenly refund their Infinity War tickets because they saw a couple of my shitposts on the internet. I would however, like to think I can encourage people to broaden their horizons, and that there is more to film than capeshit and RDJ quips.

You guys expect too much. The whole point of a blockbuster is you switch your brain off and enjoy the spectacle. If you want thought provoking movies you go to the indie shows.
Oh fuck right off with this mentality. Just because something isn't an obscure art house piece doesn't give it a free pass to be exempt from critical analysis. Attitudes like this are exactly why franchises like the MCU don't bother changing up the formula, or at the very least, introducing new concepts.

I feel like I would enjoy this franchise more if it wasn't for its obnoxiously soylent fanbase of nu-males.
That and I don't expect this to be anything different from what we've had before. 18 movies in and what, 1 character has died that had a whopping total of like half an hour screen time?
The MCU has always been a soulless, conveyor belt series of movies, totally uninterested in taking risks with their characters. Mildly entertaining at best, saccharine trash at their worst. If they don't do anything ballsy in the finale of the franchise they're pretty much never going to do it.

Typically used to undermine the opponent's argument with sleight of hand, appeal to emotions tactics.
Although conservatives can be just as bad with muh gubberment tyranny narrative.

As others have said, you're never going to come across someone who is 100% non partisan. People are always going to have their ideological convictions regardless of how miniscule they may be.
That being said, Kraut and Tea comes across as a so called skeptic™ that isn't bandwagoning the alt right anti SJW brigade even though he is techinally opposed to what SJWs advocate. He's called out Yiannopoulous and Molyneux for their patently obvious bullshit and has been an avid critic of the /Pol/e smokers.

Police and public spending cuts are probably playing a big factor. Lack of law enforcement and social activities for the youth will inevitably lead to gang violence.
The Conservatives are absolutely wringing the public sector dry.

When they tried to break off from the UK they even played Braveheart all day long to evoke some weird kind of patriotism (that movie was shit btw, overrated and shit).
That was an obnoxious minority back in the '14 election. I shit you not we had twats in cars flying their flags out and heckling people in the streets. I even had a pro indy wanker challenge me outside a polling station to find out if I had voted "properly", which I'm pretty sure wasn't legal. Back then most Scots really didn't give a fuck about independence and felt just as British as the next Englander, hence the results. Although with the result of Brexit they might not be a minority any more.

The government does not have the right to deprive ANYONE of life. Certainly not on the suspicion of a crime. There are several situations off the top of my head wherein this mindset simply would not apply.
