Avengers Assemble!

[FilmNerdJamie]

We finally caught it last night.

Very frustrated to see this wide range of characters acting so Goddamn stupid. During the umpteenth fight against Thanos in the closing twenty minutes, I yelled, "JUST CUT OFF HIS FUCKING HAND, YOU IDIOTS!" Not to mention, Star Lord being responsible for that cliff-hanger and the film (not to mention, the characters around him) doesn't acknowledge that.

Thank God for Brolin, who single-handily carried it. I would go as far to rank him next to Ledger's Joker. And this (plus Thor: Ragnarok) really made me appreciate Doctor Strange more than his solo film.

I will just leave this right here.

Totally.

Also, as stated in the article: why isn't Star-Lord not returning in Avengers 4???

[Abraham Smashington]

Nah, fuck Star Lord.

[Martin]

What he did totally made sense. As much as Thor did. Or not chopping the fucking hand from the get go.

[Abraham Smashington]

It was nothing but a plot device that I personally don't buy "fits in with his character". Especially with what is at stake. I mean, obviously they can't just cut off his hand or else we'd have no movie, but that shit with Star Lord was just balls.

[Martin]

I got angry at the character, but I completely understand why he did it. Quill's got severer daddy issues, and his love just got killed by her's.

[Matt]

I'm gonna let that Star Lord thing go for the simple fact that the movie did a great job (mainly through Saldana's exemplary acting) of selling their love. As such, I can personally buy Quill's need to lash out.

[Abraham Smashington]

And that's where it falls completely flat for me. Never bought them as a couple and they rushed it too much in the 2nd Guardians.

I can personally buy that a lot happened off-screen to progress their love story.

This. By now, they were a couple.

[Abraham Smashington]

I always thought that was a stupid thing for them to do to begin with, but whatevs. Star Lord is still a moron and I hope GotG3 isn't as terrible as the second one.

[B_Metal]

I hope YOU'RE not as terrible as YOUR second one THIRD HUGHES!!!!!!

[BillyG]

I will pause my shitting on a Spawn remake to come to Rob's defense as GOTG2 is fucking balls.

[Abraham Smashington]

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but it's just so goddamn lazy and checklisty.
