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.

How could they not?? It was the first thing that flashed in my head (and I even worried that I had missed the point of the post!) Tony is one of my favs...and RDJ chews that scenery like no other!

That is one of the best scenes!!!

I was torn in Civil War. Tony and Steve both had good points and bad ways of approaching them. But the total Tony hate in some circles and the hand-waving of Steve's own bad behavior left a bad taste in my mouth (and distressed me a little). So I'm rather anxious, excited and a little nail bitey over Infinity.

I can't decide whether you are lucky or not. I enjoyed it, but Tony broke my heart once or twice.

Aww, thank you! Sometimes I get it right, it seems...
