My first piece for @ObserverArts and it's a doozy. A deep dive into Infinity Wars, the MCU, and what these movies are *really* about...http://observer.com/2018/04/avengers-infinity-war-movie-and-marvels-endless-endgame/ …

This was a great analysis, thank you! Still processing some points, but there is one I immediately disagree with. You rightly complain about "just being told something matters", but then get disappointed that they don't outright state why Bruce can't Hulk out.

That, to me, was one of the better parts of the film. Hulk got the tar beat out of him by Thanos. Sure, Hulk has had hard-fought battles before, but he's always come out on top. Yet Thanos doesn't even break a sweat knocking him out. Hulk is scared.

Right, and that sounds like a great thing to dramatize within a movie. It's not.

I'm not certain I'm following you here. Is it not a great thing to dramatize, or do you think that's not what is happening?

Sorry, saying it would be a great idea for the movie to dramatize, and then it doesn't.

OK, let me see if I got this straight. Some ideas are at best vaguely presented, but because they aren't acted upon or given weight, pretty much any discussion about them (like I posted) is basically speculation and little more. Am I on the right track?

Right, and while speculation is both fair and fairly innocent, it also suffers from the weight of these movies piling up your speculation as a constant story tactic, instead of engaging it.

Well, this has been enlightening. I'll be more careful with that in the future. Thanks for taking the time to explain, and keep up the good work!
