7. And this is only possible because of the HUGE overhaul that Taika gave that character. If this was the same Thor from The Dark World or AOU, he would have been shafted again.

18. Like what was wrong with the Thanos trying to boo up Death? And if that's not what were going to get to begin with, why fake us out with that cheap "to court death" line from The Avengers??? Que???

19. But...let's say I do attempt to buy his motivation in
#InfinityWar. Even if I accept it (which I don't), his advocacy for genocide is based on a lie: Overpopulation.#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/xKn1DGflGBShow this thread -
20. Overpopulation is a myth that has been pushed for centuries by colonizers who go into Black/Brown countries, leech resources, & lie that these same countries don't have shit because these Brown/Black peasants have procreated too much & need to stop.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/jgejUPGEc7Show this thread -
21. Nah. All lies. The issue is resources being stolen, hogged, and not fairly distributed. And depending on your political/economic system, hierachy, and etc (and planet, in Thanos's case), those systems in place could be why.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/QL3xvNDkQ9Show this thread -
22. But even if overpopulation was really a thing on Thanos's planet Titan (I'm not convinced), he had no way of knowing if it was the same on Gamora's planet. Or Drax's planet. Or Earth.

23. He took his own personal history, & without ANY FACTS, decided to blow the half of the universe to hell. And I guess THAT is supposed to make him evil, but all I see is lazy characterization & a shitty attempt at making me try to see his point.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/8PQbKt6zwAShow this thread -
24. I am really disappointed, y'all. He was built up to be this menace & tbh I was expecting something akin to Darkseid & all we get is a purple sad boi who thinks genocide is mercy & has an abusive father/daughter relationship with a kid he stole. lol
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/V8N7voL4nVShow this thread -
25. Speaking of that relationship, it was YET ANOTHER relationship that failed the movie and took away from it's pathos.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/RnFXH7sICCShow this thread -
26. Yeah, yeah Nebula and everyone in the galaxy done told us Gamora was Space Deebo's favorite (because she is useful I guess) but until NOW, this is the first I am hearing that "he loves" her. Like fr fr.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/9bwRQ6hwiEShow this thread -
27. And that useful part is undermined by the fact that everyone keeps calling her "the deadliest woman in the galaxy" ....but I have yet to see that in action
.
Which is because she has been POORLY DEVELOPED
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/Wn0wC4zrb5Show this thread -
28. She was nerfed in GOTG and GOTG2 and we get seconds of her taking down Thanos here only to find out, again, it's a lie. We also get a scene where she meets Thanos and her people are being genocided but it's like 378393993 movies too late.

29. I'm just mad because all the time that went into telling us all about Quill's parental woes & trying to convince us these 2 were in love (no) could've went to making her a 3D character. So that when she finally ate it here (a mistake), I would care
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/Ta8uerCB6VShow this thread -
30. And speaking of non-3D characters, that's exactly my issue with Wanda. I have seen her in three movies now. Three. And I know nothing of her and her powers have been inconsistent (but this is a general MCU issue more so than just her).
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/6YrJNtyfzpShow this thread -
31. And she got Gamora'd here in that instead of further character development for her, her relationship with Vision takes precedence. Oh and her accent was gone. IDK how or why but I guess
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/PIC1NSXuwjShow this thread -
32. Wakanda and the BP roster--besides Okoye--was not used very well at all. I am okay (not really but w/e) with Wakanda being the last defense against Thanos. But I just want it to be done well.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/SQLncTRxHpShow this thread -
33. And this is a nitpick, I know, but
@DisYoGrandPappy pointed out that as isolationist & advanced as Wakanda was & as folx who have staved off invasions before, why wasn't that field booby-trapped to help thin out the number of faceless goons?#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/5vqu65aJtIShow this thread -
34. No trenches. No wires. No mines. No gun turrets. No spikes. I just find that all odd because we're not dealing with inexperienced war people here.
#Spoilers#InfinityWarpic.twitter.com/CJxnw1ZkCVShow this thread -
35. And tbh, if I am the King of Wakanda (T'Challa) and a general (Okoye and I guess Cap? Idk), I feel like I should be the last line of defense? Not running all to the front to fight an oogly moogly. But again, it's a nitpick.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/ILYuvwbZmUShow this thread -
36. And while I'm here speaking on these Black characters: A Black character (Heimdall), who is apparently Thor's BEST friend (...okayyyyyyyy) is the first person to eat it onscreen. I am not okay with that.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/YgaZE5EAhLShow this thread -
37. IDC that it was "noble". I don't care that he & his sorrow locs were probably ready to die after all this. I think it's played out. And frankly I'm tired of Black/Brown folx having to be the vehicle for contrived & underdeveloped pathos in the MCU
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/3j5EEUHEhPShow this thread -
38. That's all I am gonna say on that because I have written on this before
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/BAUrbjK3XCShow this thread -
39. Mantis. Mantis being a glorified, baby-like mood ring is a trifling disservice to a character who is and can be way MORE than that. I am appalled that this is the most we've gotten from her.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/zkHGPYkgsZShow this thread -
40. On the plus side, Dr. Strange is better both here and in the one scene we see him in Thor: Ragnarok and he is AT HIS BEST when he can play off a group of people. I hope future films take note from this. Because I really enjoyed his character here.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/QoZZhfrKAmShow this thread -
41. Which brings me to one of my biggest issues with the film: Who exactly got *dusted* at the end of
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/CWGZVSBvYmShow this thread -
42. Bucky was tragic, but expected. Falcon being underdeveloped meant that I shrugged when he disappeared. Mantis? Shrugs. Quill? Shrugs.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/bZQsPLzuXfShow this thread -
43. Drax? That's bullshit because his entire arc is avenging his family by killing Thanos & you dust him. T'Challa & Peter? Well, that's bullshit because they just got here & you KNOW we love them. But it's also a cop out because they are getting sequels.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/NTHqn9tsIDShow this thread -
44. There is also no way THAT BOTH WANDA AND DR. STRANGE should have been dusted. That was just too much for me. Strange I can accept because he probably saw that in the one odd where they "win". But Wanda too? With no chance for further development???
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/mpzeteVLhmShow this thread -
45. Groot? Trifling, unexpected, and I know he (and Rocket) are sick of this shit. I'm personally just mad because there's no Stormbreaker without him. Thor does not MAKE IT to WAKANDA without him and yet everyone is ignoring that. And he gets dusted.
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/GxKHJT8whCShow this thread -
46. But, conveniently, the WHOLE ORIGINAL LINEUP, assuming Hawkeye ain't get dusted, (plus thankfully Okoye, Rhodey, Rocket, and Nebula) somehow make it out? Both TONY AND STEVE make it out? Seriously?
#InfinityWar#Spoilerspic.twitter.com/fydkQDxYukShow this thread -
47. There's no way. One of them should've eaten it. Thanos talmbout this was "random" and looking at this Wonderbread list of survivors, it don't seem all that random to me tbh.
