Last night was the network television premier of Avengers: Infinity War. I remember when I saw this in the theater. My niece took me as a birthday gift. The thrill of seeing Thanos at last, fighting the Hulk, gathering the Infinity Stones. The bickering between Iron Man and Doctor Strange. The romance of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
Wait a minuet ... maybe we need some more explanation. I've been reading the Avengers comic book since I was a little kid. Presented here is the cover of the first issue I ever read. Characters I met for the first time include Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Wasp, Hank Pym (Yellowjacket), Vision and Scarlet Witch (who had just returned from their honeymoon!) So having read these stories through out my child, teen, and adult life you might be able to imagine my excitement. I was finally seeing my heroes in action.
Then comes the part about the MCU that bothers me the most.The idiotic fans. They complain about how the film isn't like the comic or any number of little things that really don't matter. As I write this I am re-watching the first Avengers movie for the first time in a few years. I am catching so many "errors."
But you know what?
I still like the movie.
And I'm looking forward to future MCU movies.
Maybe I should review them all?
