Can someone also please tell me why the hell Gamora would give Thanos the location of the Soul Stone just to save Nebula? Surely she knows what he’s up to and likely to do.

Perhaps there would have been more winning potential futures had Star-Lord not been a man-child.

The source of Quill’s celestial powers went poof when he destroyed Ego. He’s still half-celestial, but it’s not clear what that entails, if anything.

The “Trust me, it was the only way” line also kinda reinforces that theory.

Actually, if they had taken the gauntlet off Thanos hands, it’s very likely it all would be over. That just means that Star Lord would have fucked up 14 million times

I don’t know about him, but I read that part of the review and I disagree. I felt they managed to fit a lot of emotional motivations into short scenes and the character stuff (for many) worked quite well. I suspect those who get the opposite read from me are those who prefer different characters. SOME of them were…

I didn’t think Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was an especially good movie, but one thing it did well was make a universal threat relatable on a personal level. It’s possible. Maybe not with a cast of dozens of heroes all vying for plot relevance, but that doesn’t give this movie a pass for not conveying personal stakes.

Glad i watch the show in Canada. Hearing Avasarala swear like a sailor is always a high point of an episode.

Actually, Rocket has a shockingly large part.

This fixation on the comparison between Black Panther and Infinity War just seems pointless. You can’t really compare a single hero’s movie to a full-roster-and-then-some Avengers movie. The team-up is the entire point of the movie, and IW is billed as the team-up-iest of all team-up movies. Sounds to me like it…

“ughhhh me no like film that delivers on 10 year promise of featuring every character built up to in one centralized story. ughh TOO BIG”

Just like most comic book event crossovers, there just seems to be too much going on here for me to manage to care about it all that much.

As weird as it sounds, Infinity War is the Marvel movie released in 2018 that I’ve been least excited about.

That’s right. I’m more interested in watching Paul Rudd and Evangeline…

By “horseback-Jesus-hippie” do you mean Angela, the first host young William meets on his first visit to the park? I don’t think that’s a hippie headband on her. We haven’t gotten a very close look yet, but I’m thinking — given her devotion to Wyatt — that it’s more likely a string of somebody’s guts!

I feel like people are forgetting that Dolores is not just Dolores but also a mishmash that includes Wyatt. That’s the least internally logical thing within this story...that Arnold would do something like just grafting in Wyatt’s horrible character to Dolores who is struggling with becoming conscious. It’s so…

Also, who measures time in hours with two decimal places. Or do they not have minutes in the future? That really threw me out of the story for a moment.

I love the cleverness of this show’s music cues. Using Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer as the musical accompaniment to the scene of Dolores hunting and shooting humans from horseback was both thematic commentary and black humor. In the subsequent scene, Dolores explains to her human prisoners that the hosts were…

The we jump back to the present, and get the episode’s big kicker: a huge and unexpected body of water, filled with host bodies, including poor, doomed Teddy.

Very disappointed that no one has remarked on Maeve’s shout out to Hunger Games: “ the odds are not in our favor.”

*Also, sometime in the 2 weeks before the corporate cav shows up: Apparently, Bernard takes Dolores (dressed in a modern black dress...disguised as a guest) back to headquarters where they machine gun the hell out of everybody. As seen in Bernard’s flashbacks.

As my grandma always said: “If you’re in a high society party overrun by rampaging androids, stop wearing heels and get some practical shoes.”
