The day has finally come! I’ll be seeing Avengers: Infinity War in a few hours but (because of minor OCD), I’ll post a primer. It’s hard not to be excited as we see the (not quite) final culmination of the last decade, especially after doing the rewatch. I normally try to temper my expectations to avoid disappointment and have been pleasantly surprised when going in with low expectations. But again, hard not to let the excitement in. I’m hoping this will more in tone with the first Avengers film than Age of Ultron. The first was also the result of a build-up. It felt earned. Pay attention, DC! So when Tony meets Cap or Thor fights Iron Man, the fanboy in you was happy. And it all built up to the finale where they work as a team. Ultron was the inverse. They started out as a fine-tuned machine and split apart. Now it makes sense for narrative purposes (although Civil War did a better job), but doesn’t give you as much of a thrill. Infinity War should be in the same vein as the first in that our heroes need to come together again, and we have new heroes that are being brought into the fold. See you on the other side!
