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

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??

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.

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?

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

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.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

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.
