I finally sat down and watched Infinity War and, generally, was angry at all the death and destruction choices they were making that sort of cheapened the other franchises (killing the Asgard refugees, killing Zoe Saldana, etc.).
That, of course, has been at the center of all the talk about Infinity War, with friends saying "You have to watch it" instead of talking about it.
So I expected all this, and it had been built up in my mind as some sort of sea-change reboot. No one said "It's part one of two" and, so, part two, with Captain Marvel at the helm, will simply undo everything. I can see it a mile (and years) away: We'll sit through six hours of noisy, over-crowded movie just to have an "it was all a dream" resolution.
Despite all that, though, Infinity War is the best Avengers movie so far. But the bar's pretty low for me there...
