    I remember someone on D1P/BC after Avengers 1 came out saying that the Avengers theme was completely forgettable...but now years later, I can't stop humming it. And the version used in this movie is incredible, Alan Silvestri really outdid himself:

    I just did a double feature of Infinity War and this after having only seen 1/2 of the Avengers so there was a whole lot of

    but they were still enjoyable. People seemed to go through most of the nit-picks but I haven't seen these yet.

    Spoiler

    Everyone resorts to physical violence and no one tries telling Thanos that his plan is stupid and won't work (long term) because of repopulation and all so he'd have to keep doing maintenance snapping every few decades, but his plan was to destroy the stones after the first snap so there goes that idea too.

     

    Gamora's heel/face turn sure happened easily. But I haven't seen her first heel/face turn, so maybe it's a pattern.

     

    Captain Marvel and Vice Admiral Holdo need to have a crossover movie where all they do is solve problems via Deus Ex Hyperspacing Through Giant Enemy Starships.

     

    Fan Theory: Dr. Strange actually saw two timelines where they win. But one had him dying and the other had Tony Stark dying. So he knew what he had to do.

     

    Also: WTF they have a Pegasus too!?!?

     

    Also also: New York can only be invaded and decimated by aliens so many times before before people start moving to New Jersey or something, right?

     

    Bonus Infinity War nitpick: Thanos and his many instances of the "Give me the item and I won't kill your friend" trope. There's

     

    Thor and Loki

    Starlord and Gamora

    Gamora and Nebula

    Dr. Strange and Iron Man

    Tyrion and the other dwarves

     

    I'm sure there's one I'm forgetting.

    No doubt. It could be an entertaining movie (just like TFA was), but really JJ... I am expecting total fan service at this point. Rey will be a Skywalker but made by the Emperor and the Emperor used Anakin's force sperm to make her and the Death Star ruins will be the final fight location and the Emperor's ghost will be there. Something bullshit like that.

    Ghost Palpatine tries to turn Rey into his new physical host, I'm calling it.

    They missed an opportunity by not having her make a two-bladed staff saber.

    A red and blue one to drive the point home

    The REALLY important question is what piece of military equipment is the First Order gonna make ludicrously huge in this one?

     

    In TFA, Starkiller base was a planet-sized version of the Death Star

    In TLJ, Snoke's Supremacy flagship was significantly larger than Vader's Executor flagship and their AT-M6 was quite a bit larger than an AT-AT

     

    So, what piece of Imperial military hardware will the First Order try to "one-up" in the size department this time, because I've come to the conclusion that the entirety of the First Order's military design staff's philosophy can be summed up as "Whatever the Empire built, we'll build it MUCH BIGGER because BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER!!!"

    What I want to know is how does an Outer Rim reboot have a bigger military budget than the original Galaxy-sized government? I demand a scene addressing the First Order's hyperinflation crisis in the next movie

    This Polygon article discusses that abandoned plotline in detail.

    If it’s the Death Star, then it’s probably the second one from Return of the Jedi. (The one from A New Hope blew up spectacularly.) It’s not out of the question to think that it fell to solid ground around the forest moon of Endor.

    The Endor Holocaust is real!
