Anyway, the trailer confuses me. It almost makes it seen like Captain America is the one in the "wrong". The part of the trailer with the Cap-Iron Man exchange that went something like "Sorry Tony, you know I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice. But hes my friend." "...So was I." Its portraying Cap as the one who is betraying people and being the instigator of the infighting here. Maybe in the actual film he will be set up to be more heroic, but as for now, I dunno.
Well Vibranium shield is stronger than anything Tony has and WS also has that mechanical powered arm that is probably stronger than Ironman arms. And they are fighting in close quarters.
As for the story, well Cap is the one to blame. He organized the rebellion and got people killed, Tony was just using the knowledge and his brains to save the future. And if Reed Richards and that villain guy went over the calculations together and didn't see another way, there was no other way.
Just came back from the cinema and I gotta say I loved it.
Avenger movies are like pop corn fun fan service movie.
But this is different. This is what an avenger movie should be like. Thanos is written well, most members have their moments, not just for a few kicks or punches or jokes.

Why? Thor seems well-written and a default favorite being a god and all.

This is a full scale movie.
I'm with you. This is Marvel on their 7th gear already. They have learned well from their earlier mistakes with excess characters, bad development, cardboard villains, too much fan service, and many others. They even got the dark tone and complex characters right.

He felt very, very cheesy in most of his Movies, i think Thor 1+2 are among the worst Marvel movies. It has gotten better in the recent one and in infinity war i really liked him.

DC on the other hand...
Marvel needs to complete the Fox deal and get access to their greatest villain, Dr. Doom. A villain who is not only trying to defeat the heroes, but also upstage them. A villain that doubled down on the Robot Doubles when comic books were getting out of that trope. A villain that just has a time machine, but doesn't use it because time travel is played out. Then they just need a staggeringly good looking and talented actor to play him. Just keep with the Loki, Killmonger styling. And they might need to ditch the mask. Or make it so he can summon it at will. Then we will be in peek marvel.

I see. Thor 1 was nice, and Branagh gave it a Shakesperean theater twirl. Thor 2 was wonky shit with crap villains, love interest, and nonsense plot. In Thor 3, they finally decided on the Thor identity to distinguish it from the other MCU films and they went full 70s viking LSD trip.
Thor's character itself is shaky, but we can credit that to character development. In 1 he was a bratty ass who became worthy. in Avengers he was Ironman-ish with quips and wit. In AoU he was more or less the same AoU Thor but with more powers. The "running out of things to say" bit was weird, but it seems genuine at the moment.
Maybe it's a death-of-the-father trope that they are molding Thor on that made him gain maturity and power.
watched infinity war for the 4th time, and still amazed by it. it really felt like the movie had a stake in it and the heroes were being pushed and raced against time. action right from the get-go. and urgh WHEN PETER WAS DYING FFS I CRIED EVERY TIME I WATCHED IT
Just got home from the cinema. This was easily the best marvel film so far in my opinion. The character pairings worked well. Dr Strange and Iron Man worked soooo much better than I thought it would, but its all about Thor and the Rabbit. That shit was real. That euphoric sequence where Thor gets his weapon was Marvel at its very best. The pacing was good.
Did anyone else almost take Thanos' side? If only his plan was to have half the population of the universe never have existed in the first place it would be a no drawback situation and the Avengers would have been the bad guys.

I think the alternative that would be easiest to sympathize with would be if Thanos just simply made the planets larger with twice as much food, so that no one would need to be killed or erased. It's a much more pleasant reality, and he clearly could have just made sure everyone was comfortable and solved overpopulation.
But his backstory and his sincere love for Gomora really made me feel conflicted for his character, which I appreciated. He didn't just come off as a random villain.
The children of thanos died way too easily for my liking.
Thanos is a neat villain though. He acts with his own twisted sense of reason. He massacres, but spares people he likes/respects. Of course maybe he is just too cocky over his powers. I like that he is some all powerful person, yet is capable of bleeding (albeit with difficulty). A god yet mortal..
