Avengers or Infinity War?
Which is your favourite out of the two? I'm not including AOU cause it can't really compete with either two. For me it's got to be Avengers, we finally got to see the team come together and then to cap it off we get a post credit scene with Thanos to show that a bigger threat and infinity gauntlet are coming.
Originally posted by steverules_2Not only that but the film is just better in every way. Better action, more characters, more emotion, and a truly deep villain who is the lead of the film. I’ve seen it 7 times and it still rocks me to my Quanny core. I promised Thanos I’d go venture to my first imax for this film and I kept my word.
Is this because Thanos is the main protagonist of IW?
This goes back to my childhood though and my undying love for the character of Thanos. The first time I saw him I knew. Infinity Gauntlet issue in phar mor. I was hooked ever since. The true love of my life.
Infinity Wars, easy. Has a much better marriage of comedy and action, has a much more diverse and interesting cast, display's more of the MCU's expanded universe, and tears down every rule set by every superhero movie before it. I mean come on, we see Thor tanking a Neutron star, Thanos curb-stomping Hulk, characters meeting their ends left and right in ways that are totally believable and still utterly GUT-wrenching.
Honestly, Infinity Wars was hands down the BEST movie put out by the MCU thus far, and quite possibly the best superhero movie of all time, in my humble opinion.

No that accolade has to belong to BvS, what a master piece that was haermm
I wish, lol. I've always been a huge DC fan, and never gave a shit about Marvel.
As far as quality goes these days, where comics are concerned, I still believe DC >>> Marvel, by a long shot.
Movies though? Marvel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DC

And still you didn't care enough to remember the movie's proper title...
Avengers easily. Infinity War was solid and wonderful, but it didn't make nearly as big of an impact on me as the first movie did. The Avengers is better written, better acted, better staged, is more exciting, and has better jokes. Hell, Infinity War's biggest laugh is just referencing something said in Avengers 1.
Originally posted by Dr Will HatchYou are crazy. Infinity War is wayyyyy funnier, has far better action, far bigger emotional moments, way more characters, and the greatest villain the MCU has ever seen. Whedon admitted he didn’t even know how to portray Thanos. Russo’s are just better than Whedon. Don’t get me wrong avengers is great and fantastic but Infinity War is perfection.

Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste with me. Usually I don't find the big noise Marvel events like Secret Wars and whatnot that interesting, and that's what Infinity War reminded me of. It's hard for me to get invested in these gargantuan universe in peril anyone can die stories because I know that's never going to really happen. I know that sh.it is just going to return to the status quo sooner or later.
Also, and I can't explain why, but for some reason I just find the movies of the Russo Brothers to be bland. I hate saying that because I do like their movies. They are very talented and seem like good dudes, but there's little personality to Civil War or IW. Everything in those films is either a callback to a previous movie or a reference to the comics. They don't stand on their own as a unique thing. Whedon's two movies, whether or love them or hate them, feel distinctive. They felt like movies that only he would have made. Ditto for stuff like Black Panther, which feels like something only Ryan Coogler could have made, or GOTG, which feels like something only James Gunn could have made.
Infinity War feels very unique. I don’t get this type of nonsense. Whedon while he hit Avengers out of the park really missed in the sequel. It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t great. Whedon admitted he didn’t even know how to approach Thanos. He didn’t know how to make him relatable which is a huge weakness as a director. I didn’t want Whedon to go anywhere near him for Infinity War and thank heavens the Russo’s were there to stick the landing.
Civil War and Infinity War had a lot of characters to work with so for these films to work means they all can’t have the same amount of screen time. The humor works and one complaint I had about Whedon is I didn’t trust him with pulling off a serious villain. Ultron though I did enjoy him was too much of a jokey bad guy. Whereas Thanos delivered by way of the Russo’s. Everyone knew he was built up for years so to actually achieve this with the high expectations isn’t something to take lightly.
All of the films they made are of high quality for the MCU. Rewatchability factor is so much higher for the Infinity War and has a much darker ending than the avengers which shows the stakes are high. The gotg and Strange interacting with Starkmis priceless. Truly great moments with Thor coming to The I’d of the heroes in Wakanda is a greater heroic moment to me than anything in Avengers one.
