Avengers Infinity War (and beyond) anticipation thread
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
The Russos have announced that in order to avoid spoilers, no one will get to see the full movie before the premiere. The press will only see "a limited amount of selected footage" during the press tour.
They also said only a handful of people know the "real plot".

Yeah, that's a bad sign. There is no good reason to hide the movie, critics are really good at not revealing stuff. I still really want to see the movie, but this is either a bad sign or Disney are just being assholes again and trying to fuck with critics. Anyone who wants spoilers will know the entire plot about 10 minutes after the first Thursday night screenings end anyway.
And so begins the doomsaying. 
Or someone really important is dying and they don't want anyone to know who it is...give the Spock-star-trek-2 effect?
There is literally no way that this is one of those "movie is so bad we have to hide it situations". At least judging by past releases. At worst they'd send it to reviewers the week of the movie.
Again, critics don't give that stuff away (they would basically kill their career, and probably get sued because they'd probably have signed an NDA) and if someone dies it will be on the internet literally before the friday the movie it comes out anyway because of 9pm-ish thursday showings a lot of places have. So, its not about leaks. Its either about them being worried about the movie or, more likely, Disney having a pissing contest and showing how critic proof they are by fucking with them.
I think you just said...the Thursday 1st showing...where the most dedicated fans who hate spoilers will attend.
The second tier dedicated can wait about 23 hours and avoid social media...after that it will cause discussion and interest even with some who don't initially care.
And while a "professional" will withold such a spoiler, in this modern age we may not have as many ethical people. And like bed bugs, it only takes a couple to quickly cause a huge problem.
The only thing I feel about a movie like this is when you have things like "the Time gem" and "the Reality gem" etc, and you have this movie being only really "part 1" with a second movie coming the year after... how seriously can you take a death? Whether a major or minor character, I feel like the Russo's or whoever are gonna have to make a statement saying something like "yes so and so are really dead and won't be coming back in Avengers 4" to make it feel real.
New individual and group posters. 22 posters for 23 characters (Groot and Rocket are together) followed by all of the previously released posters, publicity stills, and magazine covers, including that crappy cover of Wanda I referred to earlier in the thread (it was Empire, not Entertainment Weekly).
Yeah, now you understand the complaint I poorly articulated before. The cover she's on is particularly bad.
Ned causes a distraction
Alot can be dissected/nitpicked from this clip but we'll let Cinema Sin do that

It's good to have a friend who will unquestioningly and instantly create a diversion for you.

Do NY cabbies use dashcams? If so then even though it didn't get his face, someone definitely has footage which provides Spider-Man is a high school kid.
Now that Spider-Man is included, all I can think about when looking through those posters is that the absence of the X-Men and FF really stands out.

Let's be honest, Peter in the comics really should have been outed several times by now...it's just that anytime that should happen the people around him develop contrived stupidity to ensure it doesn't.
