Avengers: Infinity War
It’s finally here, the wait is over, and the opening weekend was massive. It’s the biggest Marvel film to date and Avengers: Infinity War is showing no signs of slowing down! James, Skid and Andy discuss the film and it’s source material “Thanos Quest,” “The Infinity Gauntlet,” and “Thanos Rising” and how this film compares to “event comics” of the 80s and today. Our questions tackled are: Thanos has more humanity in the film than in the comics, does this work to the audiences favor? The film has many character moments but few character arcs. In that respect, is it similar to the source material or different? The film does a balancing act between a host of characters. Does it lose focus or does it stay on target? Who is the main character of this film? Who was the main character of the comic THE INFINITY GAUNTLET? Please leave us a review and subscribe to the podcast!

In this episode, they discuss the following questions: A common criticism of both the book and the film is that they are more a haphazard collection of nostalgic references than a coherent story. Is this fair or no? Many substantive changes were made from Ernest Cline’s book. Why do we think these were done, and were they effective? What place do we think the film will ultimately have in Spielberg’s legacy? Please leave us a review and subscribe to the podcast!
