Who is Josh Brolin? Exactly! His is a name you probably won’t recognize. But, he’s been a part of the MCU for as long as Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk. He’s the guy who plays Thanos.

When you look at that perfect jaw, the first thing that comes to mind is, why cover it all up with CGI and a mo-cap? At least Ruffalo gets a chance to show his face as Bruce Banner. What about Brolin, he’s going to be purple forever? Well, it’s kind of good in a way since it means the world isn’t going to call him Thanos for the rest of his life. Ruffalo, on the other hand, will be called the Hulk forever.

I already know what you’re thinking. How is Brolin/Thanos related to ‘Deadpool 2) ?’ Well, the characters in ‘Deadpool 2’ are also a part of the Marvel Universe but that doesn’t mean we’re going to be seeing Thanos come destroy half the universe there too. How is Brolin involved then?

Well, once you’ve seen what the actor who plays Thanos looks like, I’m sure you’ve realised he bears a shocking resemblance to another character we’re going to be seeing on the big screen soon, Cable. That’s because it’s the same guy. Yeah, Josh Brolin is both Thanos and Cable!

Before you go ballistic in the comments telling me what an idiot I am and why I should stop writing, save your hate for later. I’m not done. Most people wouldn’t have even known that Josh Brolin is playing both characters. No one will blame you since the CGI on Thanos does a pretty good job of covering up what he actually looks like. I bet no one could tell it was Brolin unless they already knew.

Now, this creates a unique problem for Disney. They have two movies releasing around the same time and the same person is playing the bad guy in both. I don’t think this has ever happened in the past. As much as Brolin has helped propel ‘Infinity War’ to new heights in terms of box-office success, he is also going to be the reason ‘Infinity War’ doesn’t become the highest grossing movie ever. Just think about it. Two weeks from now, you want to go watch a movie over the weekend. In an ideal world, there would be nothing cool to watch and you’d go just go watch ‘Infinity ‘War again. But, with ‘Deadpool 2’ coming out on the 16th of May and all the hype that Fox (another Disney company) is undoubtedly going to try and create around it, people will prefer going to watch that wouldn’t you think? What would you do?

How does a movie become the highest grossing ever? By being unlike anything else at the cinema at the time. By running unchallenged for months on end. ‘Infinity War’ clearly won’t be able to do that. It’s not the movie’s fault honestly. It’s just bad timing.

To add to their woes, ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ will be coming out just a week after that. There go all the Star Wars fans who have been waiting decades for a movie on Han Solo. No one is going to be watching Avengers by then or care about Thanos. It’s just the world we live in. Preferences change fast. Sometimes, too fast!

So, while Brolin is clearly the main man who carried ‘Infinity War’ on his shoulders, he will probably work just as well in ‘Deadpool 2’ and end up cutting not just the universe but their earnings in half too.

Until last Friday, we all were desperately waiting for the release of this year’s most-anticipated movie, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (an amalgamation of more superheroes, more superpowers, more capes and more deaths). Today, we are reeling from the emotions (read shock) the movie’s ending has left us with.

I am sure there were people who left the movie hall feeling empty inside. After all, it was one movie that turned 10 years of bottled-up expectations, a journey that started in 2008 with ‘Iron Man’, into a 2-and-a-half-hour film. While, some of us have moved on from the ‘Infinity War’ fever to other superhero movies like ‘Ant Man and The Wasp’ and ‘Deadpool 2’; others are busy looking at these revelations related to our superheroes, which are blowing our minds away like nothing else. 

Tom Holland Improvised His Iconic Line In 'Avengers: Infinity War'

And the recent superhero to join the bandwagon is Tom Holland, who plays Spider Man. Now, folks, I don’t want to be blamed for giving away spoilers without any warning. So, if you still haven’t seen the movie, just STOP right here.

Still here? Okay, scroll down at your own risk.

In the finale, Thanos manages to complete his gauntlet by collecting all the Infinity Stones and uses it wipe out half of the MCU universe. Watching characters like Bucky Barnes, Groot, Spider Man, Dr. Strange, T’Challa, Mantis, Falcon and Scarlett Witch fade away into thin air gave us all kinds of feels.

In fact, one of the most heartbreaking scenes was Tom Holland’s character Peter Parker’s death, in front of his mentor Tony Stark. Right before he begins to slowly fade away like dust, he says “I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark” and then the more heart wrenching “I don’t want to go, please I don’t want to go Mr. Stark. I am sorry, Tony, I am sorry.” This was one scene where even the toughest of us couldn’t control our emotions and were left teary-eyed.

Tom Holland Improvised His Iconic Line In 'Avengers: Infinity War'

According to Joe Russo, the man who directed the movie, those lines were completely improvised by Tom. Russo revealed this while talking about the characters, at the University of Iowa.

A Reddit user who was attending the session shared this piece of information on social media. He even added that Valkyrie survived the mass death scene. In fact, when Russo was asked why Dr. Strange gave the Time Stone to Thanos, he said “this is the only way”, dropping subtle hints that he probably ‘gave the stone to achieve victory.’

After knowing this, we guess Tom Holland deserves a huge round of applause for improvising and delivering such a fabulous performance.

First, go watch the movie. Read this without watching the movie at your own peril.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ is breaking all sorts of records at the box-office and shows no signs of slowing down. But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some glaring problems with the movie. For one, there are some characters who vanished even before Thanos got a chance to snap his fingers. Where did these people go? More importantly, who am I talking about? Let’s see:

Hawkeye & Ant-Man

They are perhaps the only two people who weren’t completely missing like the rest on this list. At least they were referenced by the Avengers. While Captain America, Bruce Banner, and War Machine are having a chat, it is mentioned that Scott Lang and Clint Barton made deals with the government so that they could protect their respective families. Now isn’t that a sad way to exclude a couple of characters from the biggest crossover event in movie history? Well, at least they weren’t totally ignored like the rest on this list.

Korg, Miek & Valkyrie

They were all on the ship with Thor, Hulk, and the Asgardians at the end of ‘Thor: Ragnarok.’ What happened next? We start this movie aboard their ship with dead Asgardians all around. Would they really kill these characters off-screen?

Didn’t we just love them in ‘Thor 3?’ Did they run away when Thanos attacked? Doesn’t seem like something they would do. Doesn’t seem like it. So, where are they? Absolutely no idea. Marvel, we want answers!

Nakia & W’Kabi

Both these characters had an important role to play in ‘Black Panther.’ It goes without saying that if ever there was a war in Wakanda, they would be there. Despite Nakia believing she’s a spy more than a soldier, there is no way she would leave T’Challa to fend for himself in a battle of such epic proportions.

W’Kabi was supposed to be T’Challa’s best friend. Where did he go? He was also Okoye’s boyfriend. Did he stay home with the kids while Okoye went to battle? Of course not. So where is he?

War Rhinos

These beasts of destruction could have really helped Earth in the battle against Thanos. I mean, they have huge horns on their face and are almost unstoppable.

Characters That Were Missing From 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

We just saw them in ‘Black Panther.’ But, where did they go? Did they decide to only use them for domestic purposes under King T’Challa? Why would anyone want to bench such an effective weapon? Makes no sense does it?

Everett Ross

He was central to the plot in ‘Black Panther.’ He even made sure the Wakandan ships didn’t leave the country.

So where did he go all of a sudden? General Ross was in the movie and so was Nick Fury. So, why not the Director of the CIA? Is he not important enough? Did Martin Atkinson have a scheduling conflict? We have no idea.

If there are more characters that should have been here which they left out or if you want to chat with me about anything else, get in touch @seanhyams on Instagram or Twitter.

We got to see almost every character in the MCU in ‘Avengers: Infinity War.’ Just like in the numerous Marvel movies before this there were a number of references and easter eggs in this movie too. Here are 5 which most fans would have missed. It goes without saying that there are spoilers ahead:

Morgan Stark

Tony asked Pepper if they were having a baby. He suggested they’d call him Morgan. Even though Pepper told him she wasn’t pregnant this is a call back to Morgan Stark from the comics who is Tony’s cousin. He has tried to take over Stark Industries a number of times in the comics. Why would Tony want to call his child Morgan? Don’t do it, man!

The Mark L

In the comics, Tony Stark already has already upgraded his armor more times than we can count. But, in the movies, it just gets one upgrade per film. This time around, we get to see a suit of armor that uses nanoparticles.

Easter Eggs Marvel Fans May Have Missed In 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Gone are the days of having to carry around suitcases or wait for the armor to arrive from his home. This is armor number 50 for Iron Man and hence it’s called the Mark L. What kind of armor can we expect next? Armour embedded in his bones? Bleeding Edge? *wink* *wink*

Thanos’ Powers

We all noticed how Thanos used the Reality Stone to turn Drax to stone and Mantis into a pile of ribbons. Pretty neat trick. But, what people don’t know is that this is a direct call back to ‘The Infinity Gauntlet’ comic series. Here, while trying to impress Death, Thanos turns Nebula into a ribbon and his brother, Starfox, into a bunch of rocks.

The Red Skull

Okay, some fans would have recognized him. Others would have wondered who this death-esque creature was.

Easter Eggs Marvel Fans May Have Missed In 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

The reason they got the Red Skull to cover his face and float around while dressed up in a cloak was to make him look like Death. In the comics, Thanos is infatuated with the embodiment of Death and is willing to do anything to win her love. Death didn’t make it into ‘Infinity War’ but at least we got a cool easter egg.

Stormbreaker

Yeah, Thor’s new axe. Even though it kind of nullifies everything Odin told Thor in ‘Thor: Ragnarok,’ you have got to admit the axe is really cool. We finally get to see an overpowered Thor defeat Thanos, even if it was just for a few seconds.

Easter Eggs Marvel Fans May Have Missed In 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

What you probably didn’t know is that this axe was originally given to Beta Ray Bill in the comics after he defeated Thor. We did get to see Beta Ray’s statue on Sakaar so we know he exists in the MCU. Will we be seeing him on screen any time soon? Don’t think so.

Post-Credits Scene

Who did Nick Fury message in the post-credits scene of ‘Avengers: Infinity War?’ Who the hell still uses a pager?

Easter Eggs Marvel Fans May Have Missed In 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

If you didn’t already know, that symbol you saw at the end was Captain Marvel’s. Brie Larson is slated to play the female superhero in an upcoming movie of the same name and is undoubtedly going to have a part to play in ‘Avengers 4.’

If you want to have a discussion about any of these easter eggs feel free to connect with me on Twitter or Instagram @seanhyams.

The much-awaited and highly-anticipated movie of all time – ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ – finally saw the light of the day last Friday. And if the Box Office collection is anything to go by, the Marvel movie has already broken the record of being the ‘highest opening weekend’ for a Hollywood movie in India, by minting close to Rs. 120 crore in just three days. And the numbers will only rise from here on.  

We Bet You Can't Miss These AIB-Made Deleted Scenes From 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Marvel Studios

I am sure most of you have already seen the movie by now. But am I the only one who contemplated uninstalling Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp, just to avoid spoilers? While, this might sound like an exaggeration, but the internet is a cruel place and friends are demons ruling hell when it comes to doling out spoilers.

We Bet You Can't Miss These AIB-Made Deleted Scenes From 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Marvel Studios

After all, this is one movie that most of us have been eagerly waiting for since the past decade and we can’t let anything ruin the experience for us. Having said that, this is also one movie for which you can’t even miss the post-credits scenes, bloopers or the deleted scenes. Because missing that is sacrilege.

We Bet You Can't Miss These AIB-Made Deleted Scenes From 'Avengers: Infinity War'© Marvel Studios

Talking about deleted scenes, AIB just got its hands on two exclusive scenes from the movie, which no one knew about. These videos are proof why there can be never another movie like ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.  

*Smirking* Sorry folks, but this was too precious to be missed by anyone and we just HAD TO share this gem with y’all.

However, jokes aside, this movie has truly left most of us in shock and in a state of depression. While I am still coming to terms with what Thanos did with just a snap of his fingers, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ did what it promised- blow our frikkin minds away! 

Apr 302018
 

‘Avengers: Infinity War’, has finally released and ticket sales have hit the sky. If you have watched the movie already, we understand the pain you are going through. The climax and the unimaginable losses, are still giving us major blues.

Before you think that the world has come to an end, let us tell you that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on a roll. The journey of epic movies has just begun and it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon.

While you have an MCU world, there is a parallel Marvel universe as well. What you saw in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ is just a preview of what this world can bring. Till the next part of Avengers hits the screens, we have a ton of films lined up, that will not just entertain you, but might even find you another superhero that might fall on your list of favorites.

1. ‘Deadpool 2’ (18th May 2018)

We already love the trailers and with just less than a month left, the ‘Deadpool’) sequel is all set to hit the screen and we can’t keep calm. The movie brings Cable, the evil time traveler, played by Josh Brolin and we finally even get the glimpse of X-Force.

2. Ant-Man And The Wasp (6th July 2018)

A sequel to the first part, the story begins before ‘Infinity Wars’. The roles and characters will be reprised from the previous movie. We will see Michelle Pfeiffer, Randall Park, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins and Hannah John-Kamen playing some vital roles in this installment.

3. Venom (5th October 2018)

The anti-hero played by Tom Hardy follows the story of Eddie Brock who gets infected by an alien parasite and hence, Venom is born.

4. Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse (14th December 2018)

Spidey is everyone’s favorite and the way Sony has turned Spider-Man comics into a live-action movie, no one could have done it better. A combination of action, drama, epic one-liners, this one is something you just can’t miss.

5. Silver And Black (8th February 2019)

Helmed by director Gina Prince-Bythewood, the movie will revolve around Silver Sable and Black Cat.

Initially planned to be released this year, now the movie will see the day of light in 2019. However, what makes us excited for the film is that finally, we will see the evolution of this Marvel character that we have often read in comics. Carol Danvers, a.k.a Captain Marvel is all set to come on the big screen and Brie Larson will bring the character to life.

8. ‘Avengers 4’: Infinity War Sequel (3rd May 2019)

Upcoming Marvel Movies That Will Help In Taking Away Your 'Avengers: Infinity War' Blues© Marvel

We knew this one was the next in line after ‘Infinity War’. And now after watching ‘Avengers’ our excitement for this one can’t be expressed in words. The sequel will mark the end of the third phase of movies in the MCU. And we are totally rooting for this one!

9. Gambit (7th June 2019)

Upcoming Marvel Movies That Will Help In Taking Away Your 'Avengers: Infinity War' Blues© Marvel

While this is still a work in progress, there are high chances that we will see Channing Tatum playing the mutant thief.

10. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming 2’ (5th July 2019)

Upcoming Marvel Movies That Will Help In Taking Away Your 'Avengers: Infinity War' Blues© Marvel

This film will introduce us to the Phase 4 of the MCU movies. For those who are wondering what this movie will be about, it will be a sequel to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man reprisal. So, one thing is for sure, that Spider-Man fans are in for a huge entertainment dose this time. Also, if reports are to be believed Michael Mando might play The Scorpion.

11. The New Mutants (2nd August 2019)

A new generation of mutants is all set to come into our world. The dark trailer has already got our hopes up and we are all set to see Masey Williams playing the lead.

The two-day India collection of Hollywood venture outshines that of Bollywood hits Baaghi 2, Padmaavat

Avengers

Rewriting the rules of the Indian trade market, the Hollywood superhero trailer Avengers: Infinity War earned the highest two-day figure since its release in India on Friday. It outshined the collections of Bollywood biggies like Padmaavat and Baaghi 2.

With a collection of Rs 61.58 crore over two days of its release – earning Rs 31.3 crore on Friday and Rs 30.25 on Saturday – the coveted third instalment of the franchise has significantly left behind two of the highest grossing Indian films of the year so far. Tiger Shroff’s actioner and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s venture earned Rs 45.5 crore and Rs 56 crore respectively during that period. The Marvel franchise is even expected to beat the earnings of The Jungle Book (2016), which, with its lifetime earning of Rs 180 crore, has remained the highest earning Hollywood venture until now.

Padmavat

Trade analyst Amod Mehra says hitting the Rs 200-crore mark should be no mean feat for the film. “It is smashing records. I am sure it will seamlessly enter the Rs 200-crore club.”

Baaghi 2

Mehra acknowledges that not all international releases can enjoy the kind of attention that Marvel’s latest offering does. But, he points out that the film has earned this amount by releasing in a mere 2,000 screens. “When compared to the average screens that a Salman Khan or Aamir Khan film releases in [averaged at about 4,000 screens], this one has done well.”

Echoing a similar thought, distributor-exhibitor Akshaye Rathi says, “The film is not only ruling the world, but is creating fireworks in the domestic market.”

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ just hit theatres all across the country (and the world). The reviews are in and everyone only has good things to say about it. Still, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be the highest grossing movie ever. In fact, it may not even be the highest grossing Marvel movie ever. Don’t agree with us? Here are 5 reasons that may change your mind:

Too Many Characters

What was supposed to be the biggest pull of this movie has ended up becoming one of the reasons it’s not going to go on and become the highest grossing movie of all time. Let me ask you a simple question. Who is the protagonist in the movie? Iron Man? Spider-man? Dr. Strange? Thor? Captain America? I honestly can’t tell.

Again, and I can’t stress this enough, I am not saying it’s a bad movie. But, what I am saying is you know Thanos is the bad guy! Who’s the good guy? Where’s the good vs. evil we’ve grown so accustomed to? Marvel has taken a huge risk by being completely different from any other movie they’ve made and while it will still earn a billion dollars, it’s not going straight to the top.

Expectation Subversion

‘Expect the unexpected.’ That’s what Benedict Cumberbatch said when we asked him what fans could look forward to in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. We walked into the movie with such high expectations that it was going to be a very difficult job to keep everyone happy.

That’s exactly what happened. By the end of the movie, we were left feeling empty. It’s like when you ask for a space grey iPhone 8 and get a gold one instead. It’s the same phone but a different colour. They made an Avengers movie but in a different colour. So, while most people are expecting a Marvel movie, they better be ready for disappointment. But, once again, this certainly doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. You better watch it!

Release Date

How can the release date be a reason ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ is not going to earn the big bucks? It’s released around the same time the first two Avengers movies released, in perfect summer blockbuster fashion. The only problem this time around is what’s releasing in May.

First up, you have the merc with a mouth on the 16th of May hoping to cash in on the huge success that was Deadpool. Then you have Solo: A Star Wars Story releasing just one week later. That means Infinity War has just 2 weeks to rake in as much dough as it can. That’s not enough time to earn enough to make it the highest grossing Marvel movie ever. If only Marvel execs had a real time stone.

There Are Better Marvel Movies

Now, on to the point that’s going to garner the most hate here. You could try to fool yourself but this is the truth. Avengers: Infinity War isn’t the best Marvel movie out there. If you ask me to rank it, I’d go as far as saying it’s at the 5th spot. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers, Thor: Ragnarok and Iron Man were all better movies. I’d even go as far as saying Black Panther was a better movie.

When it isn’t even the best Marvel movie, how can you expect Infinity War to compete with the likes of Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World? You simply can’t. 

It’s Missing That Certain ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’

I don’t know what. That’s exactly what the movie is missing. When you’re done watching it, you won’t feel happiness, sadness, anger, fear or regret. What you will feel is emptiness. I don’t know about you but that’s not a feeling I’m accustomed to after watching what’s supposed to be the biggest movie of the year.

I know this is not something you’d expect from a Marvel movie. Not in a million years some would say. Reach out to me @seanhyams on Twitter or Instagram and we can debate. Just make sure you watch the movie first so you can do your part in getting the movie closer to a billion dollars. Also, it’s always easier to debate when both people have watched the reference material, right?

Apr 262018
 

Do you know how it feels when you watch a film the whole world has been waiting to witness, before anyone else does? Do you know how it feels when you know everything and yet, you can’t give away any spoilers, because the last thing you want is HATE messages in your inbox?

To begin with, let me tell you this. The word ‘Infinity’ does not do justice to what I just saw, it is completely beyond your imagination! It is cataclysmic, gargantuan, farcical, entertaining, and everything that you would want in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a showdown between the evil and biggest superheroes ever. 

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ brings together everything we have seen till date, literally everything that has made our childhood. We have Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther…and Thanos. Well, the purple giant is the very definition of the word ‘VILLIAN’. Even Nick Fury must have never imagined he would live to see something like this. 

There are deaths that will leave you paralysed on your seat- the less we say the better (Okay, but you should prepare yourself for the first 15 minutes). There are some unexpected appearances and disappearances: we bet you won’t be ready for this.

Over the course of 2 hours and 29 minutes, ‘Infinity War’ does everything that Marvel fans expected and also brings in gazillions of other elements that you never saw coming.

This is a giant battle that we always knew was coming, but didn’t realise what it would have in store until we saw it hovering over us! Director Anthony and Joe Russo make your hearts race, give you a sugar-rush and make you laugh with amusing dialogues, leaving you thrilled.

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

Honestly, it’s kind of amazing how 10 years of MCU fit accurately without any glitch. Whether it is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ meeting the Avengers for the first time or the banter between Iron Man and Doctor Strange, or Captain America returning with a badass beard or the Hulk trying to see what has happened on Earth in the past few years.

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

From Tony Stark to Thor to Captain America, every hero’s story follows the right path. Every member plays an important role no matter what their screen-time is. And for the War Machine’s fans, the makers definitely have something special for you.

Coming to the story, Earth is in grave danger as a massive purple hunk with a huge chin called ‘Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) aims to destroy the planet. His ultimate aim is to find all the six infinity stones and fix them on his custom-made hand that holds the strength to bear the power of all six stones. The uncontrollable power will lead him to destroy anything he wants in this universe. Okay, basic villain stuff. 

This is a true blue Thanos film and there is no denying that. As you learn more about his character, you despise him for how he wants to be the tyrant lord. As he says in the trailer, “When he is done, half of humanity will still exist.” But despite the hate, you understand his agony when he makes the biggest sacrifice to get that one infinity stone (Any guesses which one is it?). The CGI Villian has a skin like an overripe berry and is the ultimate face of MCU villains. 

Against him are the good guys. Here comes alpha male Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Joining the two is Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who is all about millennials and pop culture reference, thoroughly entertaining us.

This is followed by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meeting the GOTG. The epic exchange of words between Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and Thor can’t be missed! Wish I could say more.

Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) get a vital screen presence in the film, taking us back to the origin of their relationship we had no idea about.

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) are trying to have a normal life. Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans) arrives, but his reunion with the Avengers is something for you to confirm yourself. Vision is obviously in danger and that goes without saying, but does Thanos gets what he wants. And if he does, then how?

The face to face confrontation that Thanos has with Iron Man, as he says, “The world will remember you” is not for faint-hearted.

Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is seen kicking some ass as usual, while Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is having a tough time turning into the Hulk. Wish the two have a happy ending? Again…can’t say more!

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

While Tony and the gang are squabbling, we are transported straight to Wakanda.

A sudden urge to meet Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) arises thanks to all the hi-tech advancement that the world can finally see now. But Okoye (Danai Gurira) ain’t pleased, because when the king said they were opening their gates to the world, she thought it meant Wakanda would finally get a Starbucks, not have the entire team of Avengers descend upon them instead. 

And wait till you watch the clash between two major superhero gangs, thinking each is in team Thanos. Just imagine one asking, “What master do you serve?”. And an awkwardly confused hero answering “You mean – like Jesus?”(Come on make a guess, who are these two?)

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

FYI, Thor – the God of thunder, looks ravishing as ever, taking charge and breaking bones, but even he can’t guarantee that all is well and everyone will safe. But we must warn you about one thing. Your heart will bleed, no matter what! Thanos is here and so is the end of the world.

And most importantly Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage’s secret role is pretty amazing that will make you jump right out of your seat.  

The movie takes no time in establishing what’s at stake and who the super-villain is. In fact, you get introduced to the devil at the start itself. And it is then when you realise that NO ONE IS SAFE IN THE INFINITY WAR!

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

Marvel gives you everything they promised but at the same time, they throw curveballs that can shake your soul. The film gets stronger and more twisted as it proceeds to its ending.

Just imagine the effect this movie creates with all the superheroes crammed in one. The CGI totally works in favor of the movie, from war sequences to the representation of every newly introduced character, there is nothing that is not worth the investment.

'Avengers: Infinity War' Review: It Leaves You On A Cliffhanger© Marvel

I know we’ve got to wait for a year before we see what happens next, but I would want the Russo brothers to just give us another big movie (or Mayhem) now! Because, the sudden twists, turns, and deaths in the movie will leave you scarred for a long long time. ‘Infinity War’ will haunt you till the next movie comes out!  

Apr 252018
 

While the whole world is going crazy about the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ premiere, we recently found out something more about the only Marvel premiere that can top this – the premiere of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’.

If you’re a Marvel fan, you should remember how badly Mark Ruffalo fucked up during the world premiere of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ by accidentally live streaming the first 20 minutes or so of it.

I know people probably remember how this hilarious goof-up went down, but I would still like to refresh everyone’s memory. So basically, what went down was that Mark started an Instagram live for his fans but then forgot to turn it off before the movie started.

He just kept the phone in his pocket, not realizing that over 2000 people, who were watching him live, could hear everything. No one was mad at him obviously, as this was probably the best thing that could happen to us. How often does an actor accidentally leak his own movie?

While going through old reactions of this hilarious incident, I found this tweet that is a little relevant now because we kind of have an explanation of it finally, and no, Mark didn’t accidently leak it this time.

Marvel is gonna whoop Mark Ruffalo’s ass

I thought Robert Downey Jr’s emotional speech at the premiere was the best thing we got before the release of ‘Infinity War’, but the cast’s appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live might have just topped it.

When Jimmy Kimmel asked who was the least trustworthy when it comes to keeping the script a secret, we can all guess who everyone pointed at.

But, it’s okay, Mark isn’t alone; Jimmy also said that when Tom Holland appeared on the show the night before, he also got the same title.

Tom Hiddleston obviously brought up the Thor incident which Mark tried to deny at first, calling it fake news. It’s okay, Mark, we were very thankful that you did that, can’t say the same about Marvel and Disney, though.

Then he went on to explain what exactly happened.

Well, your mom was okay, but not you, Mark.

This honestly wasn’t the time for you to have manners, Mark.

This went on for so long, that Disney had to step in. Since they couldn’t reach him, Mark said that they had to actually make someone go to him and personally tell him what was happening.

Then, he was like “My phone’s not on” but, oh well. Just look at him recreating his hilarious reaction when he realized his phone was indeed on.

And, now we know that if they kill off the mighty Hulk in ‘Infinity War’, Mark has only himself to blame.
