Yeah, I know Zeek. The punching was just a plot device and Starlord was just the likeliest flawed person to facilitate said plot device.

But, it is worth pointing out that his not entirely ignoble actions did ultimately end up making half the universe vanish. That's a big loss of control, there...

By the way, I am a huge proponent of birth control. This planet DOES need to slow the hell down, and every country should be doing whatever is necessary to get effective birth control to its populations. Gotta keep half the universe from being blinked out of existence now, don't we?

Oh, btw, having no testicles removes testosterone production as well, and I think the planet could do with a little less testosterone too, so maybe that could work out

...Kidding. I kid. But, seriously, removing one would halve fertility rates, since we are discussing theory. I think the vast majority would just prefer good birth control, ya?

I predict fewer and fewer ticket sales as Thanos’s population control methods get more and more realistic:

Infinity War III has Thanos perfecting the male birth control pill. The Avengers will fight to the death because if you skip your daily pill, you die!

If Infinity Wars teaches us anything it's that none of it matters at all.

Let's kill a ton of box office draws off in a movie with a Deus Ex Machina device that can just bring them right back. Then not leave any suspense about which characters are going to be brought back to life since we've already mapped out the next decade of movies.

Boo.

Will you guys stop paying for this schlock already.

The Marvel Universe is how this happens.

Whether characters stay dead or not doesn't change the way the characters in the story react to the situation. It's also different depending on the story. For instance in the comics recently there was a character who had a long drawn out story arch where they were sacrificing themselves to fight the good fight, but immediately after they died they were revived via magic. That to me is a bad revival. It cheapens the storyline. Infinity War's storyline is different and wouldn't bother me if some of it was reversed. I think certain parts need to stick though

like Gamora (even though I really like her character)

I see what you're saying. They're going to have to make some of the death's stick or who really cares at all?

One prediction I'm making is that (I hope) Marvel is actually going to permanently kill off at least one major character that is slated for a movie release in the future timeline to really "pull a Joss" on everyone.

They may or may not actually do this, but I think if they did then this would bring a lot of credibility with it. If they don't do that, then really, what's the point of it all?

I think the adults all walked out of the theater knowing what was going to happen and that nobody is probably really dead, or at least for very long. But I do imagine that there are a lot of sad kids walking out of the theater to this one.

Credibility? This is religion being squeezed and bent into the comic book format. Marvel is re-purposing Buddhist belief in reincarnation and Christian belief in resurrection, that death is not a permanent condition and heartbreak can be overcome. The purpose is to make rich men of Televangelist pastor Joel Osteen and Rev. Sun Myung Moon. It will also make Marvel rich.

In 1991, the comics had Thanos's daughter, Nebula, steal the Infinity Gauntlet. Her first act was to return everyone her father killed to life. Being the comics, Thanos and the Avengers must stop Nebula before she does something crazier with her stolen Godlike Powers.

The comic book starts at 50 seconds:

May 5, 2018: 11:34 AM ET

Disney's "Avengers: Infinity War" crossed $1 billion in worldwide box office sales on Saturday, according to the studio. The blockbuster hit the mark in just 11 days -- the fastest in film history.

The Marvel Studios film, which stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and features a litany of superheroes, reached the milestone one day earlier than the previous record held by 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

In just 11 days of release, the film has already made more than the overall totals of other comic book hits like "Wonder Woman," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "Justice League."

But most impressively, "Infinity War" has accomplished all of this without Chinese audiences. The film opens in China, the second biggest movie market in the world, on May 11.

The closest comparison is the Jesus snuff-film: The Passion of the Christ at
$611,899,420

Avengers Infinity War had many famous people to kill. If The Passion of the Christ could have killed Jesus more than once, it would have made more money. The Passion ending with a brief depiction of his resurrection. Avengers Infinity War is saving their Resurrection(s) for the next film, in order to double their ticket sales. Loki and Thor aren't Christian Gods, but, Hell's Bells, they are Gods. Killing and resurrecting them means better ticket sales. Marvel killed the God Odin in Thor Ragnarok. Marvel will resurrect him, too.

Marvel does it again: Kills Thor followed immediately by Resurrection. There isn't time for the women's tears to dry before he is back on his feet! Infinity War breaks that rule by making you wait for the next movie before resurrecting the dead heroes.

I'm not going to watch any of them besides Deadpool 2 anyway. I tuned out of the comics movies a long time ago, and I think I'm pretty much done with the netflix shows too. There's too much good stuff out there to waste my time on any of the Marvel schlock.

Starlord replied, posted on Cinemablend

Chris Pratt used Instagram Stories to post these special five messages to fans, which read "I know you mad at Starlord because of what happened in the end. Well, I guess I''ll just go and... F myself" - accompanied by an image of two Star-Lord toys in a graphic position. Clearly the actor isn't taking the whole thing too seriously, and he's hoping that fans ultimately see things the same way.
