To be fair what use will Captain America and Spidey be against a guy who can throw planets?

Black Widow and Hawkguy are gonna be pissed when they find out Tony gave the guy with powers a suit and not them.

I'm not really squeamish about spoilers but I'm so tired of super hero movies I feel like this will bore me to death unless I don't know major story beats or plot points ahead of time. The cg action in these movies just really doesn't light a fire under my crouch they way it used to. The end battle in WW just had me yawning.

Then why would you come into a superhero movie thread? I really doubt the ending of WW had you yawning.

IGN's write-up is bad. This is better.

Disney
Marvel Studios just showed a huge chunk of footage from Avengers: Infinity War at the D23 Expo and there almost aren’t words for it. But we’re going to try.

The footage began with probably a two-minute intro of footage from the first several movies, all focusing on the Infinity Stones we’ve seen so far. Then, the Marvel Studios logo, and on to the new stuff.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are flying around. “Put on your mean faces,” Star-Lord says, because he expects something nasty. There has been crazy destruction, and then a body smashes up against their ship. “Get it away,” Rocket says. They bring the body in and it’s Thor. (Spoilers for Ragnarok, we guess?) Mantis wakes him up and Thor jumps up and exclaims “Who the hell are you guys?”

Next we see the Guardians with Thor, flying to another planet, and when they arrive—again, it’s just massive destruction again. They all know something is very wrong.

Cut to Earth. Scarlet Witch is moving around some cars or something and a female voiceover says “Death follows him like a shadow.” Loki emerges and presents the Tesseract to someone who is taller than him.

Cut to Queens and the hairs on the arm of a young Peter Parker stand up on end. He turns around in fear and we see a ship flying toward a planet we assume is Earth. “We have one advantage,” Tony Stark says. “He’s coming to us.” As the ship crashes, we see Mantis, Iron Man, Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, and a few others characters in total shock.

“Fun really isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe,” a voice says. Gamora turns around in total horror. “But this puts a smile on my face.” Star-Lord: “Oh no.” And out of a black hole emerges the purple madman, Thanos.

A fight begins. Doctor Strange is putting down platforms and Star-Lord is jumping off them, shooting his guns. Cut to Spider-Man, in his new suit revealed at the end of Homecoming, jumping through the air. A shot of Vision behind bars. A shot of a Wakandan army which includes Bucky. Captain America comes out of shadows with a full beard. Black Widow is shown with blonde hair. Iron Man has new, very sleek armor. Someone is using the Hulkbuster armor. Just a huge montage of shots.

Peter Parker is on the ground very hurt. “I’m sorry Tony,” he says behind tears with Iron Man holding his head. Thanos grabs Thor’s head and squeezes. Then Thanos, in the heat of battle with the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand, uses the power of the two stones he has (Purple and Blue, I think) to grab a moon. He starts to drag it toward whatever planet everyone is standing on. The debris starts to fly and... cut to title card.

Not sure if I like Thanos crushing planets with a gesture to be honest, sounds like DBZ and it sounds like it will make the film jump the shark. Yes, I am aware of his ridiculous powerlevels in the comics, but one reason I like the MCU films is that the powers are relatively grounded, they do a good job at bringing the heroes to the screen in a believable way with at least some sense of balance (still very much over the top, obviously).

For example, how am I supposed to believe any of the avengers can fight this guy? Why, instead of crushing a planet, he doesn't just crush one of the avengers with all that force? There is a limit to what I can believe on the screen and I fear this film will cross that significantly.

Conversely, I feel this is one of the weakest points of the MCU. The way they've gimped the shit out of Scarlet Witch for example never sat right with me. For me, the purpose of a superhero film is to see the comic book levels of fuckery and power levels displayed properly on film, unless it's trying to be more like Logan or the TDK trilogy

Nah. Give me all the cosmic destruction craziness.

Thanos needs to live up to the hype.

So is everybody going to die in this? The only people who can withstand a planet being thrown at them are Hulk, Thor, Strange, Vision, and Wanda.

That sounds stupid as fuck. Yes it's 'epic' or whatever but it's total fucking nonsense.

Maybe wait till you see the movie? Strange could teleport them all out of there before anyone gets hit.

Dr strange is OP af, he'll either turn back time or transport the earth to a new spot or open a portal for the moon pieces

Not their MCU version, from what we've been shown in previous films.

Strange could probably open a planet-sized portal to send the debris to another dimension.
