Glad you like it.

I'm a bit concerned about some aspects of it. Mainly how they will handle Thanos. Some previews and some things said by people who've seen it make me worry. I mean, I'd really hate to see them go all Criminal Minds with Thanos. That is to say, try to make the audience feel too much sympathy for him. That's all well and good for the unsubs of CM, but I feel it would be a misstep to go this route with Thanos. He is supposed to be this big badass. Making him too sympathetic would take away from his badassery. So, I hope they don't do that. Less is more in this case.

They managed to make me love Loki as a villian (sort of like BTVS's Spike- pre-chip) without making him too sympathetic. Yeah, there was a little, but it was not overdone. So, I hope they managed to balance it effectively regarding Thanos too.

Huh? What was there not to understand about the movie? If there's one complaint I could name about IW, it's that I thought the plot was a bit too simplistic.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

SPOILER: Click to show

The disintegration of so many people there at the end.

Plus I'm hard of hearing and missed a lot of the dialogue.

Well, that was Thanos' plan all along,

SPOILER: Click to show

to get all the Infinity Stones so he would have the power to wipe out half the universe. That way - so his logic - the other half wouldn't have to suffer from dwindling resources anymore and could live good lives instead of suffering from poverty and starvation. It's what he claimed about Gamora's people, that those who were left after his massacre there were much better off in the long run. So, once Thanos had the Mind Stone from Vision and his set was complete, he snapped his fingers and 50% of the people in the universe randomly went *poof*.

Btw, could you maybe add spoiler tags in your previous post. This thread has been spoiler free so far, and I guess those here who haven't seen the movie yet would appreciate if it stayed that way.

How do you do that? I've never learned. Edit: Never mind. I found it.

Well, there are multiple threads on the Avengers board already, which is where I think this one actually belongs as well.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes.
