For those who say this video feels out of place, or vague: This is part of a much longer video on many topics surrounding Infinity War, as stated in the intro. Click on the original video in the description. See? That wasn't so hard to comprehend, now, was it?

1:10 So Awesome I love how using the Avengers theme it's a seemless transition into one of the best actions scenes in MCU history to Thor's entrance in Ragnarok.

I’d add to that last line that their loss THROUGH action also shows the power of the villain(s) they fought against. Making the stakes even more higher due to the struggle they all endure and still fail.

Two videos in a day??. That's too much man. (But I am glad)

I read "that's too much man" with Sarah Lyn's voice in my head (Bojack horseman..noone? :( )

it's like being in an English Class. In a good way.

I think the driving force for Tony is that he wants to avoid collateral damage and civilian casualties. Strange correctly argues that their best bet to keep the stone safe is to return the ship to earth. Tony can't accept this, because he knows that Thanos will kill millions of people to get to the stones. Iron Man signed the Slakovia Accords because of the guilt he felt for the innocents who died in Slakovia. He goes to fight Thanos on his home planet because he won't have to worry about noncombatants dying there. He can take the gloves off on Titan. Rogers refuses to sacrifice 1 man for the greater good.

This is a really good video man. I never realized how important them being separated was.. it was right in my face too. They lost because they weren’t together (Thor, cap, tony) Like you said, they each had a different approach to defeating thanos, but ultimately failed. And it’s all because they weren’t assembled.

The relative lack of unique abilities in Dragonball is why I don't like that kind of action very much. Apart from a few (often shared) signature moves and abilities, they all just have the same powers, or different versions of the same energy projection/flight/strength/durability. While there are a handful of unique abilities (Buu's transformation magic, shapeshifting and regeneration are perhaps the most unique), most characters will have one or no abilities which differentiate them from any of the others, and most of those unique (or at least signature) moves can be copied by others with ease. How many people besides Tien Shinhan have used the solar flare? Pretty much all of the other protagonists, IIRC. By contrast, it is difficult or impossible to confuse the skills sets and powers of the MCU characters, even when they have similar abilities. Even War Machine's weapons (mostly conventional weapons with a handful of energy ones) are distinct from those of Iron Man's (mostly high tech energy weapons with a handful of conventional ones).

I like the action in infinity war, however I think the Russo’s weaknesses in filming it are shown in the Wakanda battle. The smaller scale fights are great, especially the titan fight, but I just don’t think they were able to capture the appropriate scale and stakes during the larger battle between 2 armies.

Also, Wakanda not having tanks or a defence grid makes them look primitive. I mean, they have troop carriers but no tanks? Seriously?

The editing in this video is amazing. The theme of this movie is ultimately sacrfice the reason Thanos deserves to win isn't because he's making the most right thing it's because he's willing to sacrifice something the heroes aren't as willing to do.

Hahaha props on that transition to "action is character".

Guess I have to watch infinity war again! Thank you for this video!

It’s criminal this video wasn’t longer. I love it!

Great video. I wish it was longer.

One of the reasons IW is my favorite of the last two avengers films, it’s more interesting when the characters lose

Please do more videos! This is top notch! I enjoyed your Bond and Dark Knight videos the most. Keep it up!

Just subbed, I love this video, it's brilliant, well spoken, and I wanted you to keep going, amazing work! 😃

I'm dying, just today I was rewatching all your videos!

Video was so short. Wanted more! lol usually I hate long videos but this one could have easily been an exception! Nice work!

Just discovered these videos and you've earned a sub! Keep up the awesome work!

Been waiting for an upload!

Love your vids! Keep up the great work!

its fun to see also that every decision Tony makes during the battle aganist children of Thanos on earth, he tell Peter to do something that seems easier but puts him in more danger that the decisions for himself. its sutle but quite impactfull for iron man

Man I’ve loved both your Marvel Retrospectives

Even Black Widow who got substantially less time in action through the later series, her character had grown so much up to that point that it was easily portrayed. After dealing with bouts like Winter Soldier and Civil War, she truly understood her place as less of a physical force and moreover as a force of reason amid so many superheroes and super villians “We don’t want to kill you, but we will” By Civil War and up to Infinity War she’s pulling all of her punches and hitting harder. With her staff representative that she was ready for a higher form of war after Ultron.

Even if "ThE AcTiOn iN InFiNiTy wAr iS NoT In fAcT ThE BeSt eVeR", it is still infinitely better than the action in almost every other Hollywood script these days. Most of the action that audiences are given nowadays have (i) minimal respect for franchise continuity or the basic laws of physics, (ii) explosions being slapped across the screen left and right, (iii) imagery that reeks of virtue-signaling and political agenda, and (iv) characters who don't even behave consistently. And where some of Infinity War's action is admittedly shot too close and edited too fast, it is still nowhere near as incomprehensible as most other movies like it.

Favorite video essay to date, never thought I'd find a definitive one

As someone that plays fighting games your constant use of the word Reversal describing the fight scenes made me giggle a bit and was a pretty thought provoking way to look at fight choreography Here's a fun fact, Reversal also has a similar meaning in the video game context: A Reversal (also called DP or Dragon Punch) is a "get off me" move in fighting games that interrupts the opponents offense and 'reverses' the situation, making it your turn to fight back. Flash Kick and Shoryuken from Street Fighter are probably the most well known examples.

Each fight revolving around a stone ended in a sacrifice. If they had to give up the stone to save a life or give up a life to get the stone.

A very nice viewpoint! Didn't think about that before.

Thanks for this video. Thanks to this i just realised how easy it is for an author to make a charakter, but then destroying it by writing the action without the Background of the charakter in the mind. This one failure can make the whole story a failure, because then the charakter-driven scenes full if dialouge and the action scenes easily feels seperated. This is how you make a good story, Marvel. This just show me again how well written this movie is ^^

I hope you don't mind feedback? Speaking over very engaging Marvel fight scenes puts your words into context, but it also makes your words very hard to focus on, because there's a very engaging Marvel fight scene happening at the same time. For someone as easily distracted as me, this might as well be a compilation of engaging Marvel fight scenes, with no words at all.

Strange how The Gray Man directed and written by the same guys of the most action pact blockbuster of its year made a very average Netflix action movie.

Good vid

How do you find scoreless scenes?

Infinity War is like Mad Max Fury Road - it’s kind of a popular entertainment masterpiece, that will never be recognized as such because of it’s ‘low brow’ source material.

when asked "what is best sacrificed for a better future?" a hero would say "myself" a villain would say "you."

Consider me subbed. But please, if you do make videos about specific movies or franchises, don't spoil in anyway in the thumbnail or title of the video and always have a spoiler alert on hand.

i wonder if Cap could have pulled the gauntlet off Thanos hand?

At 2:28, I thought for a second you were gonna say, "With some being tied to their face."

42 second intro before the first words are spoken...

0:31

And then Endgame's climax has even more of a hot potato scenario with the gauntlet/stones

Avengers 4 is the CULMINATION of the entire MCU from Phase 1 to Phase 3.

Their goal is to keep the mind stone away from Thanos, not to save Vision. Remember Wanda actually “kills” Vision to save Wakanda and the rest of the Universe. Which doesn’t work, but still...

@@summertyme5748 The irony is that Vision turning white (pretty clear what that is referencing) and "I feel you", reveals that Shuri's efforts are doomed to failure either way. So alot of Wakandans died for nothing. Well, Wanda destroying the Mind Stone forces Thanos to use the Time Stone, which creates a time vortex that sends Ant-man to where he needs to be. I think it was Chthon, through Wanda, who actually destroyed the Mind Stone. The stone, if its sentient, would certainly not willingly destroy itself.

@randumpotato

Relugus A couple problems w/your theory. Thanos’ rewind only affected his immediate area/vision himself. That is also solidified in AM&TW because they are affected by the snap, but not the time reversal. You also underestimate Wanda’s power, and assume the stones are sentient. I know they are in the comics, but this is the MCU. I’m pretty sure that Thor (w/Stormbreaker), or Thanos w/just the power stone could destroy all the other Infinity Stones. I’m pretty confused by your first paragraph. I don’t see the symbolism in it, really. With Shuri’s genius (higher than Stark OR T’Challa’s) level intelligence I’m sure she could have helped Vision out. I’m not trying to attack you (I enjoy a friendly debate), but you are kind of discrediting the Russo’s story. Because their whole point was that if the Avengers (+ GotG) were together during Infinity War, they would’ve had enough time to fix Vis, and keep the other stones out of Thanos’ gauntlet.
