10 Major Thoughts Coming Out Of Avengers: Infinity War

1. It Feels Like The First Half Of A Two-Part Movie

Even though everybody involved in the production has gone on record saying the exact opposite, make no mistake; Avengers: Infinity War definitely feels like the first half of a two-part movie.

The ending may come as a shock and end on a relatively somber note for such a massive blockbuster, but it doesn't feel like the conclusion of a story. Thanos has gathered the Infinity Stones, completed his mission and wiped out half the universe. So what now? You'll have to find out in Avengers 4, of course.

This isn't a knock on the movie by any means as it marked a vast upgrade on Age of Ultron, but despite its many successes and several flaws at no point does it feel like Infinity War has told anything approaching a complete story, and leaves a huge number of unanswered questions going into next year's follow-up.

The sequels were originally announced as Parts I and II, were shot back-to-back and will be released a year apart, despite Kevin Feige and cohorts continuing to claim that it isn't a two-parter. After watching Infinity War, it becomes increasingly difficult to believe them.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
