Spidey Freak Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 funny i always get feeling thanos has bigger fish to fry but like all kings sitting on a throne he has to deal with the commoners issues / humour them from time to time its good politics but don't let his sitting on my throne routine to fool you!i hope they spend more time on him though down the road !He's playing the long game no doubt. His entire shtick is his obsession with Death, which obviously means an utter disregard for life. He's like a Mad King Aerys in that regard, except with the effectiveness and intimidation tactics of Tywin Lannister. That's not to say he doesn't have his difficulties in getting people to stay faithful to him. I think I already know who his "Kingslayer" will be in Avengers 3.

Mulder Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Oh Thanos you Darkseid rip-off. I've gotta be honest I preferred his Avengers design when it looked like Darkseid. but purple. Edited August 11, 2014 by Mulder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like it if they casted Michael Ironside and had him voice Darkseid again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The scenes between Peter and his mom just don't sit right with me for some reasons. I don't think it hit the right chord for me emotionally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it hit the right chord for me emotionally. It's hard for a movie to just immediately jump into something like that in the first minute without it seeming a bit like "woah, wut?". The start of Up did well because it showed you the characters as kids, had a bit of fun w/ humour to establish the relationship before quickly moving to the sad stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Have a read of this. 2001 a space odyssey had a similar scene in which no - one seemed to question when David Bowman got into the airlock without a mask or suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Great movie liked it a bit better than Turtles.. Definitely one of the better Marvel Films and its beaten Thor films out big time.. Not bad for a risky entry... BRavo Disney.. I dont see all the hate for thanos on here. I thought his look and the actor Brolin playing him was awesome.. Though I would have gone with the Avengers look facial wise.. Still damn cool.. And loved Ronan.. That raccoon, Starlord, Groot, and Draxxx steal the showw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it hit the right chord for me emotionally. That was the weirdest Marvel start of a film by a longshot.. I was like what the hell lol.. I thought it was unique and cool after rehashing it in my mind later though... I think I agree that this maybe the most colourful Liveaction film I have ever seen..

Agent Mulder, brainy comic fanboys all think alike.. Same here. I dont understand why they changed the look so much. Avengers Thanos design had the look down period!

My mom used to make me mix tapes when I was a kid and she also died young so I definitely connected with it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It's hard for a movie to just immediately jump into something like that in the first minute without it seeming a bit like "woah, wut?". The start of Up did well because it showed you the characters as kids, had a bit of fun w/ humour to establish the relationship before quickly moving to the sad stuff.I see what you're saying. I'd also add to that the easy coincidence of having them all conveniently on the same planet at just the right time to meet up, is a little wonky. However, I really appreciate the brisk pace and not needing to spend too much time with each character. I bless Gun for making a punchy 2 hour movie as opposed to a drawn out mess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid just saw his mum dying of cancer with tearjerking music, he couldn't even take his hand then he runs away alone in the dark and makes an encounter of the third kind just to get abducted by a spaceship coming from the middle of nowhere sight unseen within the first 2 minutes. Cut to black, Marvel Logo. He's an adult and dances on an alien planet. LULWUT? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And him not taking his mom's hand don't seem right, it's like it has to be like that in order to set up the climax scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
