My Infinity Wars review:
Five minutes or less of most of your favorite characters. Funny. Torture scene. Sad. Heartwarming. Awesomeness. Black Panther's codpiece IS bigger than Batman's. Battle, Battle, Battle...confusion. Hope.
Go see it or don't. You'll do what you want no matter what I say. The point of the movie was actually to make you THINK.
((((SPOILER, but just one))))))))
Thanos, as it turns out...is the Operative. Just with better biceps and better jewelry. And he also has the single-minded determination that what he's doing is the right thing and -just like the Operative- he'll murder children if he has to.
Overpopulation is misery. That is Thanos's mission to stop. Instead of just one planet's resources to worry about, he worries about the resources of the Universe, because he lived it, the overpopulation and hunger thing.
And as I drove home and looked at the trash from winter piled up along the highway, farmers pulling tanker trucks of anhydrous ammonia, eating something from Wal-mart that I can always find because it's healthier when many less healthier, cheaper options are sold out, and passing cargo vans full of screaming kids that I'm sure the parents are struggling to afford even though it doesn't stop them from making more and more and more and throwing more trash out the window and eating more "food" that has less and less actual food ingredients every year....
Damn, I get it. If we don't do a better job of controlling ourselves this planet will be done with us soon.
That is...if the Universe doesn't chuck us a big 'ol asteroid, or a supervolcano to wipe us out before then... Don't think any super heroes are gonna save us from that...
Nevermind. Keep eating soylent green and chucking it out the window. I mean, it doesn't really matter what we do, right???
Whether we go out choking on our own filth or in a blaze of fiery doom, what's a few hundred years extra of existence here or there??
Wish I had a Time stone to find out....
I leave you with... Karma. (Wish there was a stone for that

Thanos's mating calls are the screams from exterminating 50 per cent of life, everywhere, across planets and star systems. He is a genocidal peacock driven by that most desperate motivation: love. A less eager suitor may settle on concert tickets, or a dozen red roses. But to woo Death Herself, Thanos must deliver the corpses of half the galaxy to her feet.
It’s equal parts tragic, monstrous and sort of sweet: a cross between Antony and Cleopatra-styled Shakespearean tragedy and John Hughesean doe-eyed romance that reveals the preposterousness and exuberant stupidity that enliven superhero comics.
The cosmic entity Mistress Death is absent in Avengers: Infinity War. Instead, Thanos is motivated by more purely Malthusian ends. His aim is “balance.” He is, in his word, “dispassionate.” His madness is utterly, boringly conventional.

Liked it. Better than Ragnarok, but not the best ,imo. Had several unanswered questions, but w/ such a massive cast , stories, plot lines... it was very well done.
That marvel already has blackpanther and Spider-Man sequels on the way, kinda lets the air out of what takes place , but heck, it made for good drama.

Yeah, I kept wondering if she was gonna show up. Nope. I guess they already did the irrational agenda god in Ego, so they had to move on to anti-hero god. Do we ever get a rational one, or would there be any...absolute power and all that??

Quote:Thanos had an absolute power he didn't use. Obviously he had the old-fashion power of life and death, exactly like a veterinarian who euthanizes stray dogs. The Infinity Gauntlet also gives him another vet super power: to spay and neuter. The sequel will be the Avengers stopping Thanos' perfectly rational population control strategy of vaporizing their balls. It's slower at stabilizing the population than vaporizing half of humanity, but it's more gentle. Vets do it to pets. Thanos will do it to humans. In the next Avengers.

4) Where was Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie?
6) Does the entire Marvel universe, uh ... depend on Ant-Man?
9) Just what was Pepper trying to tell Tony when he got sucked away aboard Thanos’s ship? "If you’re really worried about whether Pepper and Tony get married, you’ll just have to wait until Avengers 4 comes out in spring 2019."

Ohh, that's funny!
Have you seen that one episode of Futurama where no one had any genitals? Reminds me of that...Unfortunately, I think it may not work because I'm sure billions would just go towards developing artificial gestation, we're already pretty close...There's enough frozen embryos sitting around, it may not even slow us down...

Fun article and comments.
Thanos to Thor: You should have aimed for the head!
Hawkeye appears and shoots Thanos in the head, then turns to the camera and says "That's how it's done!" (in my version, anyway...)
