How Effective Is Thanos as a Villain in Avengers: Infinity War?
Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for Avengers: Infinity War. Check out our SPOILER-FREE review right here.
It's no easy task to humanize a Mad Titan that wants to wipe out half of the universe's population with the snap of his fingers, but somehow, the writers of Avengers: Infinity War found a way to make Thanos compelling.
For a studio that's been known to produce less than stellar villains over the past 10 years, Marvel's track record is quickly improving with its last two theatrical releases. Black Panther's Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and Thanos (Josh Brolin) are positive signs that Marvel is learning how to take their antagonists' character development seriously.
From Shuri to Hawkeye, Who Lived and Who Died in Avengers: Infinity War?
The Avengers: Endgame trailer has dropped, offering further clues at the state of the characters in the MCU. SPOILERS for Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp continue below, so read on at your own risk. No, seriously, people.
For even more on the film, check out what Hawkeye's new costume means about the state of the MCU, which Infinity War Blu-ray you should buy, and of course watch the new trailer for Avengers: Endgame.
Explaining Bruce Banner’s Relationship with Hulk in Infinity War
Spoiler warning: This post contains major plot details for Avengers: Infinity War, so proceed with caution. For more on Infinity War, here's what happened to the Infinity Gauntlet at the end.
Apparently, even the Hulk has performance issues from time to time. After proving himself the undisputed champion of butt-kicking on Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok (with a little help from the obedience disk embedded in Thor’s neck), Hulk gets a bit of an attitude adjustment in the opening act of Avengers: Infinity War after being soundly defeated in hand-to-hand combat by Thanos; the Mad Titan not only knocks Hulk unconscious, he also draws blood. Thor put up a good fight when he faced Hulk in the Grandmaster’s Contest of Champions (and certainly might’ve done plenty of damage to his “friend from work” with those lightning strikes if the Grandmaster hadn’t intervened), but this is a beating unlike anything the Hulk has faced before, and it’s clear that Thanos laying the smack down on him is enough to shake the Green Goliath’s confidence in a major way.
These Are the Highest-Grossing Domestic Movies of All Time
Avengers: Endgame is now only the second movie to ever cross $800 million at the domestic box office.
With $803.6 million grossed thus far, Endgame is behind another Disney release, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as the highest-grossing film of all time in North America. Endgame recently passed Avatar to become the second highest-grossing movie domestically.
With more would-be blockbusters like Hobbs & Shaw and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on the way, 2019 is poised to be one of the most lucrative years ever for Hollywood.
Elder Scrolls Online’s Summerset Expansion Makes ESO Feel Fresh Again
If The Elder Scrolls Online’s previous expansion, Morrowind, could be summed up in a single word it’d be “nostalgia.” The island of Vvardenfell was realized in gorgeous HD for the first time, almost exactly 15 years after The Elder Scrolls III first launched.
Now with its latest expansion, Summerset, ESO is taking a decidedly different approach when it releases on May 21st for PC and June 5th for Xbox One and PS4 by letting players visit the beautiful region of the high elves, the Summerset Isles, for the first time – well, unless you count its brief appearance in 1994’s The Elder Scrolls: Arena. So if Morrowind was all about nostalgia, Summerset is all about breathing new life into the now four-year-old MMORPG.
