Great work, I love the hard work that you've clearly put into this video. I love this movie and I love seeing you praise it and analyze it
Also, your review is the only one not to excuse the ending by saying that the characters will come back, but by, again, praising it for that
Thor was too proud to go for the hand and went for thanos' chest. And it sums up when thanos' says you should've gone for the hand.
Same with the other characters: Star Lord, Dr Strange, Scarlett Witch
This was awesome!! nice job man. I loved the futurist commentary. I did a video essay on my channel for thanos that I would love for you to take a look at (since im a newbie and you're a seasoned vet). Doubtful you'll see this but lemme know what you think! ruclips.net/video/ROT6D1z5Bt0/видео.html
@@ridhwanpatel7265 tbh the films pathetic when it comes to Thansos powers. Why doesn't he just altar reality and kill everyone instantly when they are fighting. Like when he turns them into slinkys earlier with no problems. He could even make himself invisible, invincible etc... But na, he just throws moons and shit and hopes for the best even tho he knows that these heros have a chance of beating him. Ridiculous really. Killed the whole movie for me. That and the stupid unnecessary jokes every 3 seconds. I was expecting a lot better for such huge build up. Buy that's just my opinion.
This movie would of never had the impact it had on people without the movies before it. Well Done Marvel.
Thats why Justice League sucked. Rushed movie to be on par with Marvels Team Up.
@SpankMeSanta no way this is a serious comment LOL you just made my day. Thanks dude.
SpankMeSanta add Thor to that list too. Although there were some absolutely cringey jokes from that girl played by Kat Dennings, the movie still explored some excellent themes and was a really sound story in general. Agree with you about the rest though.
@SpankMeSanta Yoda why is star wars so boring now?
@SpankMeSanta Yeah, TFA was ok and TLJ was crap but i kinda like Rogue One. I did not waste my time watching Solo.
I'm sorry, but I have to stick up for the Drax "invisible" joke here. Not only was it place perfectly in a heavy moment (it needed some levity there), but it's also a pay-off on a running gag that's been building up for the past two Guardian's films....
Drax's eyes work differently than normal humans. He only sees when there's movement around. This is not a stretch... go back and watch GotG1 and 2. They hint at this multiple times (Baby Groot dancing and Drax looking around when he's paused. And another instance where, in part 2, he says that he always thought Yondu and Peter look alike... He doesn't see their different skin color).
To Drax, he would really be invisible if he were to stand still. Yes, it comes off as him being 'dumb', but it's actually much more clever than you think. This is one of those things that make me immensely grateful for the MCU being so cohesive as it is. It allows for long-running jokes to get seeded and pay-off later on (much like tv shows like Arrested Development... who, btw, the Russo's also directed some episodes for).
Wouldn't him standing totally still make him effectively blind as well?
I didn't like any scene with the guardians in it. Not thors arc nor the titan fight.. Loved the strange/ironman vs thanos bit but not what came before
It's the brain, not the eyes, his brain filters things that don't move into the background automatically without him having control over that process, just like us humans can't control some of our brains abilities. To him non moving "objects" are just background, like something in the corner of your eye, barely noticeable. So yeah, the joke makes perfect sense and I do like it.
I feel like you missed one more character. Scarlet Witch. I didn’t care for her character before, but in Infinity War, I loved both her and Elizabeth Olsen’s performance. Seeing her lose Vision twice was heartbreaking.
seeing vision die twice was heart breaking
She needs a movie probably
Choke On My Lijiang Tower tbh scarlet witch was severely under developed
eric asu She’s getting a TV series on Disney’s new streaming service
@@FGLKyouma the romance sparked in civil war already, how did you miss that?
The quote is “peace IN our time”, not “peace and our time.” It’s a reference to a quote from Neville Chamberlain (Prime Minister of England in 1938). It has long been used ironically to represent actions taken that are intended to end war, but which have consequences leading to even more violence.
I was actually confused about this...I thought this was a bad joke. You think he actually misheard the line?
Yep.
Oh, well, then I guess you now learned something important about history. Sorry, I just couldn't imagine that someone wouldn't know the line by heart but I guess the current generation might be more removed from those events.
There's only one problem with infinity war; it set the bar so high that the sequal would have to do something bigger than anything to be as good as infinity war
SpankMeSanta Seems to me that you only care about the little funny bits rather than the plot of the movie but go off.
a sequel is the next sequential step in a sequence.
SpankMeSanta oh wow a comic book movie was exactly like a comic book how stupid.
SpankMeSanta I never said they should either, Im just saying that criticizing a comic book movie for being a comic book movie is kind of stupid.
SpankMeSanta agreed. Listen, I am all for comic book movies releasing their own visions and adaptations of comic book series, but for a comic book series like Infinity Gauntlet (really dark and brutal) I didn't really appreciate the comedic gag filled style they went with. Opinions may differ but it really took away from the story in my opinion.
Do I have 50 minutes spare? No, but I'll watch it anyway.
Same lol
U could speed up the video
I had the same reaction to that Spider-Man line. Stop self-deprecating, kid, what you said made total sense. Although on multiple rewatch, the scene reminded me of when I try to explain something to my boss and he just looks at me slightly angrily and I chicken out completely. XD
Yeah, that's what the scene is supposed to accomplish. He sees Tony as a mentor figure, and doesn't want to risk looking dumb in front of him. That's why he takes it back upon seeing Tony's reaction.
It was adorable honestly
I gotta say, this is the best video essay I’ve ever seen. You really helped me see things that shine that I would’ve never seen, and you go super in-depth, and that’s what I like the most. Awesome job Houston
you're wrong about invisible Drax though.
Portentous Lad DEF wrong lol
I kinda agree with him. It's a funny joke in theory, but it went on for longer than it was worth, IMO, and felt a little too dumb for Drax, who was established as not understanding metaphors and being too impulsive, but wasn't dumber than a three-year-old child. Something more quick and naive-but-not-necessarily-stupid like "WHY is Gamora?" is much more appropriate for Drax and much funnier.
"it felt a little too dumb for Drax"??? Wow, you guys are really missing it aren't you. Drax isn't dumb... his eyes work differently than humans. He only sees when there is movement. Go back to the first two Guardians films. They hint at this multiple times (him looking around when Baby Groot is paused... him saying that Peter and Yondu look alike). This joke was the payoff on all of those hints. Really, go back and look. To him, he would really be invisible when he stands still!
Brian Williams You've crafted quite possibly the dumbest yet most entertaining theory...EVER. It's also wrong. 😂
@@zingzaber6989 Dude... Watch the end of Guardians 1 again. Watch the scene with Baby-Groot dancing. Why does Drax look all around and not at the obvious sapling directly in front of him?
My body is ready for this.
No it ain't. Fly home bud
I wish the Dceu could’ve gotten the response from its audience that this movie did. I wish the audience as well as myself would’ve cried or felt something when Superman died like we did when Groot, Bucky, and Spider-Man did. Even though all the mcu movies aren’t perfect it’s amazing what they have accomplished. Slowly building up this universe and allowing the audience to know these characters before giving us the ending that Infinity War executes beautifully.
I wish the DCEU was made by creative minded fans of the source material, too. (Translation)
Spider-man
I knew something was wrong with DCEU, when I felt sad at Ant-Thony's death but felt nothing in case of Superman's one.
I agree. Superman's death was so un-earned. You know there's something up when the death of Loki, a "villain" has more emotional impact than arguably the most famous superhero of all time.
Dean Johnstone
They tried so hard to depict him as a god that they forgot to make him human.
Powers doesn't mean shit if the audience can't relate & empathize with the Hero.
Colin Leary
That's what I like about Marvel!
They make you lough, let's you enjoy the fun.
But when they means you to cry, you cry nonetheless.
Dread it! Run from it!
Tragedy still arrives...
I watched a lot of IW reviews and this was the first one who managed to say everything I felt during the movie.
Ikr?! There's alot of great reviews from the critcs and audiences but they always seem to get something wrong about the movie many of them have wrong misconceptions about the film everything said in this review shows why I love Infinity War and why it's up there The Dark Knight and Logan as the best comicbook movies of all time.
Thanks once again Houston for having me in your epic Infinity War video, it just wouldn't be complete without a RUclips crossover. Comment below what your favorite Marvel Studios action scene is, who knows I may eventually do a video on it. Also comment below your thoughts on my segment, always love to hear your feedback :)
Definitely the Civil War Airport Scene, I just love the way the super heroes and super powers interact with each other
Best action scene for me is when Iron Man took out the terrorists in IM1
Gotta be the elevator fight
Hulk vs Hulkbuster fight or Thanos vs Iron Man!
I gotta go with Yondu’s arrow scene.
To be honest, I really only want Fantastic Four in the MCU so that we can get better FF movies...
OH. YEAAAAHH.
One complaint. Please make Ruffalo Hulk a badass in A4. Please.
Professor Hulk
And Ronin
This didn't age well.
I mean, it debatably aged well.
I mean i really liked professor hulk I'm like the only one who loved hulk in endgame
That Drax invisible scene is iconic. Haven’t you seen all the references people make about it?
zachmaster014 I think he’s right though...it kind of kills the emotion of that scene between Quill and Gamorah
King Swirl 👑 It’s a big meme now. Everyone loves it.
zachmaster014 I don't.
@@josephmoody6045 no it doesnt. Its part of the mcu tone
The scene wasn't meant to be emotional, it was a set up for the Knowhere scene. And the whole scene was deliberately softened with humor, to not take away from the shock when the payoff happened.
That said I didn't think the joke was funny either.
before watching this film i thought zoe saldana was a good actress but after watching this film i now think she is a great actress.
Agreed she might be the film's best actress along with Josh Brolin.
I remember when I thought the only great actors in the MCU was RDJ, Evans and Pratt.
Ryan law
I know yoy meant that as a Complament, but it sounds like "I used to think zoe Saldana was a good actor, now I think she's a slightly better actor"
chackle it's the same with gal gadot as well because before wonder woman i only saw her in fast and furious were i thought she was ok then i saw wonder woman were i thought she was good.
Great video, but 37:27 is "Peace in our time" however I do like the interpretation of "Peace and our time"
a la "unintentional memes"
It's also an ironic reference to the original historical context of that quote, something I think Houston may be too young to have picked up on. This is one of those things I love about Tony Stark. There's a level of self-aware self-deprecation in Tony's use of that quote. "Peace in our time" refers to the treaty that gave Hitler a pass and led to worse problems down the road. Tony *knows* he is too ambitious for his own good, and that history will judge him not for his intentions but his results, but he is nevertheless true to himself. He is under no illusions that he is perfect, which is why Steve Rogers' constant perfect good guy act gets under his skin, and why it hurts when he's judged for his failures and just wants to be done with the pressure of less than perfection. He accepts his flaws as a necessary element of the struggle to attain something more. That is a brilliantly written character.
@@BlackShardStudio Beautiful, much more eloquent than anything I could have said
Infinity War is Marvel's masterpiece, and this video essay is Houston's masterpiece.
Can i just say: I loved the "invisible" Drax scene. :P
My mom and sister still reference it, and while my mom had enjoyed the MCU since the beginning, my sister however hates most things, including the MCU, except for maybe guardians 1.
Aight on the 3rd watch this is easily my second favorite "video essay" of yours so far.
Not only do you hit all the best, most critical parts of the film but you put it all in context of the larger movie universe as a whole. In a 50 min video not a second felt like filler and that is an impressive feat. All your videos are fuckin exceptional quality and this was no different.
Keep doing what you do Huston it's all amazing, hope to see more HP stuff soon, couldn't have agreed more with your first video on it and would love to hear more :)
Wtf did you watch this 3 times?

Just wanted to throw an obligatory recommendation for BrownTable's video "How Marvel Redeemed Thor" as a companion video
I've seen every video essay you could find on youtube about Avengers: Infinity War. I have to say, this is the most complete, deep, entertaning and brilliant analysis about it that I've seen. I hope The Russo Brothers get to see this. Congratulations.
I was actually really sad when this video ended. This is such a good analysis.
What if that line "You're not the only one cursed with knowledge" not only shows that Thanos is just as obsessed with accomplishing his mission as Tony but also shows that the curse is the knowledge of Tony himself. Like Thanos has been in Tony's head for six years, so has Tony been in Thanos'. What if the event that sparked tony's fear and obsession did the same to Thanos, and from then on he has been just as afraid and obsessed trying to ensure that the next time he faces the man who destroyed his army, he's ready and able to win.
How old is this guy. He looks 15 but sounds so intelligent and mature.
He said he saw avengers on his 12th birthday, and avengers came out in 2012, so it's safe to assume he is 18-19 years old.
Infinity War is what I envisioned the perfect comic book movie would be, all the way back in 2008 with The Dark Knight and Iron Man.
Okay bro, from a media student and constant enemy of premiere pro: This is such a great video. I´ve never really taken the stakes of youtubing for real but since I started studying media ive grown to understand how much work is put in to this.
Honestly so impressed with this man, good luck in the future!
this, by far, has been the best video essay on Infinity War. Seriously, well done. You can tell how much work you put into this, and the time spent looking through different lenses. I too have watched Infinity War countless times, so i am very impressed of the in-depth views you pulled that i hadn't' thought about. Thanks for the vid man! Great job!!
you did an excellent analysis for the movie and each of the pivotal characters , one thing I want to add to the analysis of Tony Stark and the line of Thanos: "All of that for a drop of blood". After the events of the events of Avengers 1, Tony go through hards moments, in Iron Man 3 he developed PSTD, created an army os his suits, has to fight his inner demons, fight with demons from the past and almost lost his loved one, and destroys his armours, then in Age of Ultron, He realize his suit and the Avengers are not enough to protect the Earth, he (and Bruce) create Ultron, Ultron kill several people, then destroy an entire city, after this events he realizes that the avengers need to keep together to have a chance to defend the Earth, thats why in Civil War he tries so desesperately to convince Steve to change his mind and sign the Accords, and with that all the people who support him sign it too, but the conflict increases, with the result of the Avengers disassembled , so after the events of Civil War, he creates his most powerful suit, because he knows what is going to happen, he knows he must do something, without an army of suits, without a super robot, without the Avengers, he prepared himself for this for several years, and making some terrible choices but trying to achieve the major good, and when he faces the treat, he only make a scratch to thanos face's. Im totally agreed with you about Tony being an adict and a futurist, making him to suffer for nothing, he didn't achieve anything, he couldn't save the Earth and his friends,leading him after the battle completely hopeless, and thats why that entire line from Thanos its so powerful.
PD: Sorry if I made a mistake writing this paragraph, im not a native english speaker, forgive me!!
People always complain about the lackluster soundtracks, but I was able to recognize most of the tracks you played (given, most of them were from more recent MCU films). Nice music choice by the way.
I so appreciate how you were able to so succinctly and articulately explain your thoughts on the movie. You structure it so well in the way that you move from topic to topic and pace it so that each conversation point ends naturally and poignantly. While I didn't agree with everything that you said I found it so refreshing to hear someone who understood how crucial context was for character arcs and why both the ending and Thanos' plan weren't flaws or were at least consistent with the wider message. I think our two perspectives on the Marvel franchise as a whole align pretty closely in terms of how we reflect on character development in previous films and how they are tied together so expertly in this grand finale. I would recommend the video by Film Joy about Thanos - it really opened my eyes to the negative impact his depiction could have on abuse victims at a younger, more vulnerable age who might not understand the nuance you discussed in this video. Anyway I'm rambling now - great video Houston, can't wait to see what you get up to next.
This video is honestly so well done and thought out! I just love your content!!!
Also, I LOOOVE the parallels you pointed out between Tony Stark and Thanos, that was one of my favorite parts of Infinity War.
I saw the length of the video and went “aww fuck” but damn this is really well edited and well paced man. Great fucking stuff and great insight. Pin pointed so much of why this movie kicks ass the many more times around.
I love this channel. The videos aren't short, biased opinions of some dude who's upset about Thanos changing colors or something. Houston presents well-developed thoughts in a fashion that's mostly casual and somewhat professional. Anyone can watch them, even if they don't have much of a background with comics n other nerdy stuff (i do my homework beforehand, of course. I'm deeply saddened that I couldn't make it to DragonCon). In short, if I ever needed a second opinion on some film, this is where I come. Keep it up 👏👏👏
"The ending was inevitable" HP is inevitable, and I, am Iron Man
You've outdone yourself Houston. Can't wait for what you do next. Congrats.
And I pretty much agree that Infinity War is a film like no other, the only movie that has impacted me the way IW did was The Last Jedi and if I could I would wipe my mind of watching both films so I could watch them again and be blown away again.
This movie is basically a wonder of the world. Has so much money been thrown at the screen and actually produced a legitimately good movie?
I've always thought that, at the core of the Iron Man movies, Tony is his own worst enemy and the movies sort of center around that. His greatest strengths are his greatest flaws and its hard to know where he crosses the line.
23:42 that’s really hard on your knees.
Perhaps the best video you’ve ever made.
Yo what the heck, that Drax joke is really freaking funny.
AwesomeName7 Not to everybody 😂
I love how Ebony Maw uses his powers with flair
43:26 I 100% agree mate. How a film ends has a huge impact on me when leaving the cinema, so going out of Infinity War the first time I felt a bit disappointed as I didn't LOVE how everyone just died cause I didn't feel the emotional impact as I knew it was only temporary. However, if that is the same for other, be assured, the second time is much better. Yes, you know the characters are coming back, but if you put that aside and think for a second that these heroes are dying and what this means for the survivors, it really is remarkable. I also noticed that the scene is very quick. No hero's death is too drawn out. Its a fleeing moment. This helps, as if they were to linger on one persons death each at a time, it will feel a bit cheap as you know they're coming back. Just saying, the more you watch the film the better it gets. Russo Brothers did a fine job.
Fantastic video. That in depth analysis of Tony Stark was the best description of his arc that anyone has been able to put into words. Wonderful watch.
Everyone keeps saying they’d “wish for” something with the Infinity Gauntlet
THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS
TrevorBOB are you saying Thanos snapping isn’t the same as rubbing a lamp and having a genie appear??
It kinda is lol.
It’s totally different, you don’t wish for something, you make it
TrevorBOB I was being sarcastic. Not sure about the other guy tho
They are not dragon balls.
Duuuude this is gonna be up there with your Harry Potter video, I can already tell
I love infinity war so much that I’m watching an hour long video about it 6 months after it came out
Woah! This video is a long one. *grabs gauntlet*
*And shoves up his own ass*
That transition from Thor to Gamora was so well done. Also, great points about the portrayal of Thor's character (humor as a coping mechanism; overconfidence and desire for revenge contributing to him just barely failing.)
This video made me rethink the MCU and its characters.
Probably the best Infinity War analysis video to date
This video is a fantastic summary and analysis of Infinity War. One particular note, though. You mention during your section on Gamora that "It could also be argued that if the Russo Brothers say that Infinity War is a movie about strong wills, with Thanos as the character whose will is the strongest, Gamora might be a close second."
I don't disagree with that, necessarily, but Gamora isn't the only character with that level of will. Vision is, too. Vision immediately brings up the idea about sacrificing himself, fervently argues in favor of that idea, constantly reminds characters of the idea as the stakes get raised, and finally convinces Scarlet Witch to do it at then end, unfortunately too late. Vision had the will to sacrifice himself, just like Gamora did, but he didn't have the power to do it himself. What's tragic about Vision's role in Infinity War is that he is ultimately powerless, despite being one of the most powerful beings in the universe. In this way, he may even trump Gamora in terms of pure force of will. Gamora doesn't have many options to sacrifice herself, but she only attempts to at the last minute, which also turns out to be too late.
Truthfully I started watching this and thought oh no... But it took all of 2 minutes for you go grab my attention... very well done, Im impressed...one correction... Drax invisible joke was hysterical :)
I still think I might like Winter soldier, Iron Man and Ragnarok a little more but this movie was a once in a lifetime experience that is always gonna be in my top ten favorite superhero movies
This kids a genius!! Amazing analysis of Tony and Thanos
Great video with a lot of insightful observations.
I would only disagree on Hela being a 'sucky villain'. I always liked Hela in Thor Ragnarok, but I understand she wasn't the strongest of villains, maybe just one of the more exciting ones to watch in action. The family dynamic could have been explored more but she was written to be so single-minded that she had no real love for her brother. But sucky seems harsh.
Oh, and I always thought Tony / Ultron said 'peace IN our time' not 'peace and our time'? That might be my mistake but just thought I'd let you know in case it needs correcting.
I'll look out for your future videos. :)
There is a stylistic difference between shaky cam like in Taken and the handheld camera in Infinity War. And it’s important that the Titan fight and the Wakanda fight feel different.
This was great man; by far your best video yet! I can tell you’ve grown as a youtuber 👍🏼. The way you intercut live footage was a cool way to differentiate yourself from the other countless people making video essays, so good job there as well. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
Amazing video, Houston! I can only imagine how much time and research this required. The parallels between Thanos and Tony Stark that stem from several previous movies was an element of Infinity War that I didn't notice before. Keep making great videos!
A very articulate and well thought out essay for someone of your age. Well done.
46:25
Even Thanos doesn't seem glad to hold the Soul Stone as he was wielding the other stones.
Masterclass filmaking ( best mcu movie by far
This was fantastic. I love that you included the guy playing the X-Men theme almost as foreshadowing for the future of the MCU.
I don't agree with you in many aspects but, man, a 50 whole minute video analyzing the MCU AND Infinity War? You totally deserve a like.
So no ones gonna talk about how he was casually talking about the MCU while standing in front of a DCEU stall at 9:55? No one? Just me? Ok.
0:18 that theme lacked the bass and string. But it was amazing!
This video is absolutely phenomenal. You nailed it in every aspect on why Infinity War is great.
Dude, that was an amazing retro... your account of Iron Man's character study is astounding. I never thought of any of that. I was always team Cap for a while and you might have just changed my mind.
Cheers.
Excellent analysis Houston! Your points about Tony Stark's character arc were particularly inspired. Infinity War was a movie that I found somewhat overwhelming and overly bombastic when I saw it for a second time (after the pre-release hype had worn off). However, you've inspired me to give it another chance.
Brain : a 50 min vedio ???
Me : we'll it has something about infinity war .
Brain : okay
Love this video! So many new perspectives and layers you presented that just adds to my love for the MCU! Hoping you'll create one for Endgame (seeing how it held up a year later and also with today's situation jokingly pointed like being an endgame). I don't care how long the video will be (the longer the better). I truly love your views and takes, and also the editing like this (feels like an in-depth analysis while recapping the film/anthology with its visuals, giving it a whole new light). Big thanks for the awesome content!
A fucking masterpiece of cinematic storytelling and visuals.
Most definitely....still the BEST,whether MCU/DC/SONY or Whatever production company !
There's nothing more to say...
I'm not sure #Marvel could even get so many characters/actors together EVER!
if I HAD to critique the film...I feel the large Wakandan battle went on too long,and could actually be cut out and wouldn't be missed imo!

Very underrated channel. Good luck on 100,000+ subs!
Its insane how I can watch 30 different videos from many a variety of RUclipsrs on Infinity War & every video feels fresh, original & Well made.
First-Daredevil Netflix
Second-Captain America Winter Soldier
Third-Avengers Endgame
The argument that this movie doesn’t have character arcs is so dumb... We’ve had a decade of arcs, and this is Thanos’ movie, we just follow the Avengers who all work as obstacles to him. We know them by now, Thanos is the one we don’t know much about and we had to have the dread build up around him, or else all the hype would be for nothing.
And the characters do still have arcs. Like Thor who doesn't go for the head because he wants to see Thanos' face when he kills him. Infinity War was a truly great movie.
This is the best video on RUclips about Infinity War so far, and by far.
Thank you so much for defending Star-Lord and Wanda
Dope review man, I actually got goosebumps when you were talking about Tony Starks journey in the last decade. Go you bro!
Live long and prosper!
The amount of time and effort put into this video is astounding.
The video very much did connect with me. It's funny because right before I found your video, I posted about how video essays are too long. But then I ended up watching this video all the way through. Great job!
Scarlet johanson gets props from me for her "stunt" running from the Hulk in the hellecarrier ...with the explosive charges going off for real! You can see how scared she actually was that a charge went wrong. so you can she how she keeps her head down and DOESN'T stop! She is such a soldier!!
I never watched A single MCU movies before Infinity War, besides Incredible Hulk. But the movie blew my mind and made me a fanboy
brian Fajar, I’m sorry you had to see Incredible Hulk. You missed so much.
Completely disagree with one thing.
Thanos doesn't think he loves Gamora, he really loves Gamora.
That's the reason he can get the stone, he is the only person willing to savrifice everything for the greater purpose.
Oh my god Houston.. this might be one of the best ''video essay'' I've seen on RUclips. THIS IS SO WELL MADE! Great job
This has been the first of your videos that I've seen, and I am glad that it was recommended to me by RUclips. You pose some conclusions and opinions that I disagree with, but you did so in a thoughtful manner. Great job on a very enjoyable tribute essay!
32:45 What is that music from, its right on the tip of my tongue but I cant remember, can someone help me out?
This movie gave me a nightmare, well not a nightmare, it was a dream about Thanos and him coming back to earth and the avengers were just like “how are we going to beat him?” This movie left such an impact that I dreamt about it! That proves it is a great movie. My subconscious was worrying about it.
"Sony's Aunt May: the Movie" Nice shirt. LOL
Talking about engaging with the MCU by watching all the movies for better understanding in general and to make sense in front of the DC boutique, idk if it was on purpose but i felt that was like sending a message and it was great haha
It's really not fair to hold Infinity War responsible for what we know about the studio system or planned future installments in the MCU. Any movie where an important character dies is far less effective if you tell people that there's a sequel coming and they are in it but that's not the fault of the movie.
"I saw my friends die nick..... You d think that's the worst.. nope"
"Worst part is, that you didn't"
Dear HoustonProductions1,
You should be so proud of yourself! I've seen a LOT of video essays on IW, but none have captured my own feelings quite so perfectly as yours. Well done!
I think the point of Thanos and the soul stone was to show us there is no "true" or "real" love. It's all about the perception of each individual person.
Great work as always, Houston.
I think that Infinity War is so rewarding because it is the culmination of so many years. We've never seen anything like this in film history that I can think of. The fact they set up the universe over so many films and so many years is mind-boggling, and to see it pay off in such amazing fashion and know there are still more stories to tell is just great for fans of the movies.
