89 Thoughts I Had While Re-watching ‘Avengers: Infinity War’

I read somewhere that now was a great time to revisit Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War, removed from all the hype from a year ago, as well as right before it is given new meaning after the release of Avengers: Endgame. I haven’t seen Infinity War since last May, so I spent my Monday night on Netflix watching the movie from start to finish, writing down all my major thoughts over the 140 minute runtime:

1. I cannot believe the way Thanos embarrassed the Hulk like that… he is too powerful
2. Like, someone being THAT much stronger than Hulk??? Incredible.
3. That Squidward dude is bad AF not gonna lie 
4. You can feel how different the movie is right from the start… they did such a good job
5. Loki’s death scene was so painful and uncomfortable to watch the first time around…. still is
6. This is so CRAZY
7. Why does Tony have a flip phone
8. The scene with Dr. Strange, Tony, Hulk vs. Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian was EVERYTHINGGGG
9. This long tracking shot of all the chaos is probably my favorite fight scene set-up ever
10. PETERRRRRRR 
11. Dr. Strange deserves more than he gets… he was coming with that HEAT! 
12. Oh Bruce this was so disappointing

20. COME THROUGH FALCON AND BLACK WIDOW!!! WHAT A TEAM
21. Gamora’s favor she asked of Starlord.. *cries*
22. Thanos and Gamora’s scenes were always some of my faves
23. Thanos’ lines were so beautifully written .. it’s almost like he speaks in poems
24. When he “resurrected” like THAT with the reality stone was when I knew this was too insane
25. LET HER GO GRIMACE
26. A TITAN KILLING LONG TERM BOOTY CALL
27. I can’t believe this
28. Cap is so ROGUE NOW WOW
29. “This is awkward” it literally is Falcon
30. Ok I get the romantic thing between Vision and Wanda… but this man is a COMPUTER Y’ALL BETTER DESTROY THAT STONE
31. The Avengers were so naïve they should’ve killed vision. So much of this could’ve been avoided
32. WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAA 
33. BUCKY/WHITE WOLF HELP
34. Peter’s reaction to being knighted as an Avenger was so sweet and pure aw
35. Nebula will defeat Thanos
36. “I never taught you to lie… that’s why you’re so bad at it” oof 
37. I remember every time an Avenger or Guardian messed up I was like “It’s a wrap, watch Thanos end up getting all the stones” ?
38. It actually seemed pretty easy for Thanos to acquire all the stones? He did it in such a short amount of time
39. A lot of people really dropped the ball in this movie
40. NEBULA KILLED THAT GUARD LIKE IT WAS NOTHING I’M SCREAMING
41. Planet Titan… where the magic happens
42. “WHY IS GAMORA” KILLS ME EVERY TIME
43. I LOVE THE CONFUSION THIS SCENE WAS SO GREAT
44. “WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY, JESUS?”
45. “Kick names, take ass” 
46. Tom Holland had the greatest line delivery of 2018 with “it never was” omg
47. What is the ONE way they can defeat Thanos… this is driving me crazy now!
48. What size shoe do you think Thanos is?
49. Ah the return of the Red Skull was a pleasant surprise 
50. The soul stone sacrifice.. I knew it was coming but I didn’t want to believe it!
51. Gamora’s death scene was tough to watch but I remember being in the theater and marveling at how beautiful it was… what a send-off
52. When Bucky spoke I literally felt something inside of me
53. Omg the battle in Wakanda… literally the wildest in movie history
54. GET ?? THIS ?? MAN ?? A ?? SHIELD ??
55. The look Okoye gives Bruce will never get old 
56. “Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood” this was such a powerful line at the time but in retrospect,,,
57. “What the hell” same Bucky
58. Omg those creatures.. literally insane
59. “Then it will be the noblest ending in history” YES OKOYEEEEE
60. That run into battle was historic 
61. CAP AND T’CHALLA RUNNING AT THE SAME SPEED STILL HAS ME LIKE !!!!!!!
62. GROOT… so noble of you!
63. THOR…. THE MOST POWERFUL AVENGER
64. BRING ME THANOS… PERIODT 
65. “You’re much more than a Thanos” what does that mean Mr. Strange
66. How does Thanos have four whole infinity stones and couldn’t tell that the others were hiding on the planet
67. This really could’ve been THE plan… they almost had him… sigh
68. I do not believe what I am seeing
69. I’m so glad Starlord got dusted
70. “I am Steve Rogers” .. still so pure 
71. “Why was she up there all this time” jadjdksks
72. The female team-up fight was truly what we deserved
73. Bruce was embarrassing this WHOLE MOVIE
74. This screenwriting is so impeccable, I love Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely!
75. Thanos vs. Strange .. ALSO the fight we deserved
76. OMG remember when Thanos stabbed Tony and said “I hope they remember you” in the trailer & everyone thought it was the end for him, sigh
77. I’m pretty sure I started laughing in the theater when Strange gave Thanos the time stone because I knew it was over for everybody
78. “We’re in the endgame now”.. BYE
79. Literally insane watching Thanos take on (and down) each Avenger one by one
80. Cap never gave up… my hero I want to hug him 
81. Let me stress that Wanda is the (second) most powerful Avenger.. wow! 
82. Oh my God he really did it
83. THOR’S HAMMER VS. ALL THE POWER IN THE UNIVERSE… REMARKABLE
84. When Thanos said “you should’ve went for the head” I literally wanted to evaporate
85. Crazy how I still have that sinking dread while watching the lead up to the snap a year later
86. “Oh God..” that final line spoken by Cap punched me in the heart this time around for some reason
87. That last scene with Thanos couldn’t have been a better ending. Ugh wow
88. The post credits scene gives me COMPLETE anxiety because it feels like an actual end of the world movie.. we had to see the effects on society though. I literally couldn’t imagine
89. PAGING CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!! That gave me so much hope

I had always planned to watch Infinity War again before Endgame came out, but I’m glad I did it closer to the release date so I could remember the details. While I’m a huge Marvel fan, I like to look at all films through a critical lens. A year later, I can definitely say that Infinity War holds up. It is genuinely a great film, and pulled off the incredible feat of including the massive roster of superheroes that they did. As much as I want the dusting scene at the end deleted from history… I always thought that in particular was so well done. The way it was executed… the rustling of the trees, no score over it, the quiet stillness, it really made viewers sink into what was happening. I remember being ruined for at least two days straight after that I literally could NOT speak – so I guess they did a good job. For my other fellow Marvel fans, nothing will prepare us for the end. But let’s remember the good times! We are in the endgame now.
