Best marvel movie that isnt winter soldier

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2019)

This movie is probably my 2nd favorite marvel movie, it is just so perfect. For a 2 and a half hour long movie you dont feel it, unlike endgame, and unlike most part 1s of a 2 part finale, this one is the better part. In this film, the main character is Thanos, this is by far one of the best characters and villains in any superhero movie, I would only argue that the joker from dark knight is better and I doubt anything would top that. This film is just the right tone, dark, no sense of hope and quite bleak, it truly feels like they cant win the battle. The film sets up this tone perfectly by showing the asgardian ship from thor ragnarock completely destroyed and dead. Hulk tries to fight Thanos and gets beaten showing that even he cant beat him. Thanos snaps lokis neck and that sets up the tone for the rest of the movie, the fact that marvel of all people killed off a main character in like 5 minutes. Already you can tell this film will be different and it is. It's a superhero film in which the heros lose, and lose a lot. Even though I knew they would somehow be brought back to life I still felt the pain the heros felt. The film makes you think they can win especially with thor coming down with the Stormbreaker, but even than thanos still snaps half of the universe away. Those deaths were pretty meaningless but the true deaths of Loki, Vision and Gamora were really rough to watch, especially vision with it being clear he wont come back. Overall, with my biased towards every spiderman movie put aside, this is the second best marvel film and easily the best avengers movie.
