Saw Infinity War.
Josh Brolin as space Debo was surprisingly good. Liked the Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Thor and Guardians sections the most. The Guardians sections were genuinely funny and they were the most effective as a team. Ebony Maw was better as a henchman than most superhero villains.
I thought Brolin had the perfect facial structure for Thanos, but when I first heard his actual voice as Thanos's I didn't really feel it worked. It just wasn't what I had pictured in my mind. During the movie it totally grew on me though.
And I totally agree. Ebony Maw was one of my favorite characters. Totally creepy. He reminded me of like a 16th century Spanish Inquisitor. He really shouldn't have been killed so easy. The rest of the Dark Order was meh... A lot of potential wasted.

If I had to nitpick the movie I would say it was silly as fuck to have super powered heroes like vision and scarlet witch get defeated by villains that human characters like black widow can handle afterwards. Also, wakandans with spears (SPEARS) and clubs (CLUBS) fighting super powered aliens like nothing while super powerd beings are struggling. Makes no sense. That's about it though. The only thing that took me out of the movie for a bit was people with spears n shit fighting along the earths greatest heroes. Dumb as fuck.
A lot of people were complaining that the "Wakanda characters" didn't get enough screen time. I think they might just be still high on the Black Panther thing. I actually haven't even seen Black Panther yet, and I'm already sick of hearing about these characters.
That whole Wakanda Battle scene was kind of just a distraction to me. I generally get bored with action fight scenes because you usually know the outcome. This movie was unique in the MCU because the fight scenes had actual consequences. I was engaged in the fight scenes because there was actual emotional currency.
The Wakanda scene was just generic action movie garbage with known characters killing off masses of generic "red shirt" enemies. I think that's why they had the non-super powered people fighting them. They tried to increase the emotional currency of the situation with Bruce Banner being overwhelmed in a sequence... But they should have had at least one of the Wakandans die in a glorious defeat type situation.
I agree with your views on Black Widow... I think comic fans know the relative powers of these characters but the general populace doesn't.
This movie actually had some relatively realistic fight scenes. For some reason though, they still feel the need to portray a 120lb female (without super powers) beating the shit out of 20 guys at once.
The fight between Thanos and Hulk at the beginning of the film was technically very proficient. Kudos to whoever choreographed that scene. And when Thanos knocked out Captain America... That is how a knockout should seem. Brutal.
