![]() ![]() This is quite possibly the worst look of the entire film a black eye that mishandles two of my favorite Marvel heroes.Ī true treat for fans will be the meet-ups and eventual team-ups – my favorite being a side-adventure featuring Thor, Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel). In Avengers: Infinity War, though, Gamora – one of the MCU’s forefront female warriors – is relegated to the status of “girlfriend pawn.” Star-Lord pushed frontwards when they should be treated side-by-side. Guardians Of The Galaxy and its sequel work so well to balance Star-Lord and Gamora as equal players (Gamora the stronger, even). We all know the latter is the daughter of the Mad Titan, and their relationship *had* to be addressed through interaction – but not this way. ![]() Without mentioning spoilers but touching on problem areas, Thanos’ presence erases some wonderful character building that James Gunn established between Star-Lord and Gamora. A veritable MCU melting pot – pulled off with more seamlessness than expected. Wholly different characters signified not only by personality but surroundings as well (James Gunn’s cartoonish Looney Tunes galaxy, Coogler’s African Wakanda representation). Your Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana) types. Marvel’s wunderkind Russo brothers – in addition to screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely – faced a Hulk-sized task of not only ushering doom unto the Avengers’ doorstep, but honoring the singular developments of too many superheroes who have all benefited from hand-picked groomers (origin creators). Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), the Guardians…it’s everyone versus Thanos. Looks like it’s Avengers time! Captain America (Chris Evans) is back (with beard), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) gets beamed home, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) continue their mentor-mentee relationship – I could be here all day listing every Marvel hero who joins the fight. With a specially-forged golden gauntlet, the Stones’ power could wipe out half of Earth’s population if Thanos were to simply snap his fingers. The premise is simple – Thanos (Josh Brolin) embarks on a mission with his Black Order squadron to collect all six Infinity Stones. ![]()
