V quickly...

Watched the trailer(s) for Avengers: Infinity War. (That is the name, yes?) SO MANY CHARACTERS. Half the film must just be people meeting each other. (Which is cool and all, but unless it's five hours long how will they get all the action in too?) Ah well, I'm sure it'll be a wonderful roller-coaster ride of epic proportions.

1. I dislike the plot on principle. Bad Guy who needs to collect magical McGuffins in order to destroy the world is not interesting. There may be more to it, but it's not strikingly original. As a structure on which to hang 'LET'S BAND TOGETHER ALLLLLL THE HEROES' it of course works nicely. But that does not make it clever.

2. I can't help but hear Deadpool's voice in my head. He's just the perfect narrator to undercut all the bombastic overblown stuff.

3. In direct contrast to all this snark & skepticism, this single screenshot is basically the only thing I really want? I'm not particularly bothered about watching the film, but THIS SHOT just hit me. Tony Stark, how can you emote so much harder in a single frame than everyone else in a whole movie franchise? Truly you are the Spike of the Marvel world.

It's true if I do, I'll no longer be dispirited...
