Don't forget, the Infinity War release date was originally tomorrow, May 3rd, not April 27th. Of course AoS won't have much in last Friday's episode!
Also, if y'all "didn't care" for AoS, you probably watched, what, half of season 1? It's improved EXPONENTIALLY and the past couple seasons are some of the best tv I've seen in the past two years. Seasons 1-4 are on Netflix, and most of S5 is still on Hulu (I think there's two or three episodes left to air?) although S5 is a pretty detail-heavy one and missing episodes is a poor idea.
Now, I've never read the comic books, nor do I intend to, but I've watched all the movies, and although I think IW was a good movie, I definitely walked out feeling stunned. And when one of my friends posted, "Raise your hand if you feel personally victimized by Thanos" on facebook, it got a thumbs up from me.
Yeah, we know a lot of deaths (all the snap deaths?) will be reversed...but I don't have a problem with that, because we KNEW this was a Part 1 of 2 movie.
I wasn't upset by Quill's behavior either because it fits his pattern PERFECTLY. He did to Thanos exactly what he did to his father. Quill has the world's most serious abandonment issues, and you couple that with the guilt he must be feeling about not killing Gamora the second she asked him to, causing Thanos to capture her safely and then kill her to get the Soul Stone and destroy the universe? Yep, I 100% see him hauling off and punching Thanos despite the fact that it's stupid AF.
What really gut-punched me was Peter Parker's Spidey senses telling him he was about to die so that his death felt a lot more drawn out than the others, who had no idea what was happening. Tom Holland fucking nailed "scared kid reaching out to dad" in that last scene.
That, and Wanda's expression of relief as she dissolved, just having just killed her lover, have Thanos revive him in front of her, and then kill him again, brutally. That hurt.
AoS= Agent of Shield?
