@Mitch Arburua Nah, it was a segment I sort-of "commissioned" Jonathan to do for my Infinity War retrospective as a guest appearance in the video. He knocked it outta the park.
For those who say this video feels out of place, or vague: This is part of a much longer video on many topics surrounding Infinity War, as stated in the intro. Click on the original video in the description. See? That wasn't so hard to comprehend, now, was it?
1:10 So Awesome I love how using the Avengers theme it's a seemless transition into one of the best actions scenes in MCU history to Thor's entrance in Ragnarok.
I’d add to that last line that their loss THROUGH action also shows the power of the villain(s) they fought against. Making the stakes even more higher due to the struggle they all endure and still fail.
I think the driving force for Tony is that he wants to avoid collateral damage and civilian casualties. Strange correctly argues that their best bet to keep the stone safe is to return the ship to earth. Tony can't accept this, because he knows that Thanos will kill millions of people to get to the stones. Iron Man signed the Slakovia Accords because of the guilt he felt for the innocents who died in Slakovia. He goes to fight Thanos on his home planet because he won't have to worry about noncombatants dying there. He can take the gloves off on Titan. Rogers refuses to sacrifice 1 man for the greater good.
This is a really good video man. I never realized how important them being separated was.. it was right in my face too. They lost because they weren’t together (Thor, cap, tony) Like you said, they each had a different approach to defeating thanos, but ultimately failed. And it’s all because they weren’t assembled.
I like the action in infinity war, however I think the Russo’s weaknesses in filming it are shown in the Wakanda battle. The smaller scale fights are great, especially the titan fight, but I just don’t think they were able to capture the appropriate scale and stakes during the larger battle between 2 armies.
The relative lack of unique abilities in Dragonball is why I don't like that kind of action very much. Apart from a few (often shared) signature moves and abilities, they all just have the same powers, or different versions of the same energy projection/flight/strength/durability. While there are a handful of unique abilities (Buu's transformation magic, shapeshifting and regeneration are perhaps the most unique), most characters will have one or no abilities which differentiate them from any of the others, and most of those unique (or at least signature) moves can be copied by others with ease. How many people besides Tien Shinhan have used the solar flare? Pretty much all of the other protagonists, IIRC. By contrast, it is difficult or impossible to confuse the skills sets and powers of the MCU characters, even when they have similar abilities. Even War Machine's weapons (mostly conventional weapons with a handful of energy ones) are distinct from those of Iron Man's (mostly high tech energy weapons with a handful of conventional ones).
The editing in this video is amazing. The theme of this movie is ultimately sacrfice the reason Thanos deserves to win isn't because he's making the most right thing it's because he's willing to sacrifice something the heroes aren't as willing to do.
Even if "ThE AcTiOn iN InFiNiTy wAr iS NoT In fAcT ThE BeSt eVeR", it is still infinitely better than the action in almost every other Hollywood script these days. Most of the action that audiences are given nowadays have (i) minimal respect for franchise continuity or the basic laws of physics, (ii) explosions being slapped across the screen left and right, (iii) imagery that reeks of virtue-signaling and political agenda, and (iv) characters who don't even behave consistently. And where some of Infinity War's action is admittedly shot too close and edited too fast, it is still nowhere near as incomprehensible as most other movies like it.
@Edward Parker Really? Would you care to elaborate a little bit as to why the action in Infinity War sucks and what movies made around the same time have better action? Thanks.
@@TheExecutioner21 Okay, I will come clean and admit that Marvel's action hasn't always been perfect. Some of the movies have had it more mindless (Age of Ultron) and/or more agenda-fuelled (Black Panther) than others. But what I meant by this whole Comment was that Infinity War's action was the closest to perfection that Marvel has ever made thus far.
@@TheExecutioner21 Yeah, handheld cameras are almost always bothersome. Particularly when it's not being handled by Paul Greengrass or Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
its fun to see also that every decision Tony makes during the battle aganist children of Thanos on earth, he tell Peter to do something that seems easier but puts him in more danger that the decisions for himself. its sutle but quite impactfull for iron man
Even Black Widow who got substantially less time in action through the later series, her character had grown so much up to that point that it was easily portrayed. After dealing with bouts like Winter Soldier and Civil War, she truly understood her place as less of a physical force and moreover as a force of reason amid so many superheroes and super villians “We don’t want to kill you, but we will” By Civil War and up to Infinity War she’s pulling all of her punches and hitting harder. With her staff representative that she was ready for a higher form of war after Ultron.
Some Guy the video was not supposed to be a long in depth video because he mentioned it was supposed to be apart of another video, and I understood everything he said I didn’t see it as so vague
As someone that plays fighting games your constant use of the word Reversal describing the fight scenes made me giggle a bit and was a pretty thought provoking way to look at fight choreography Here's a fun fact, Reversal also has a similar meaning in the video game context: A Reversal (also called DP or Dragon Punch) is a "get off me" move in fighting games that interrupts the opponents offense and 'reverses' the situation, making it your turn to fight back. Flash Kick and Shoryuken from Street Fighter are probably the most well known examples.
I don't mean to be rude but what exactly about his constant use of the word reversal was funny? Also, the first commenter is correct, you're just rewording what the video stated.
I love this chanel cause un like every person going to filmschol making video essays about how the Marvel films are garbege you show the great use of story telling these films are doing
Film school doesn't really have much to do with it as there are plenty of people that to go to film school making essays about how the Marvel films are great. Everyone just has opinions.
Infinity War is like Mad Max Fury Road - it’s kind of a popular entertainment masterpiece, that will never be recognized as such because of it’s ‘low brow’ source material.
Thanks for this video. Thanks to this i just realised how easy it is for an author to make a charakter, but then destroying it by writing the action without the Background of the charakter in the mind. This one failure can make the whole story a failure, because then the charakter-driven scenes full if dialouge and the action scenes easily feels seperated. This is how you make a good story, Marvel. This just show me again how well written this movie is ^^
Strange how The Gray Man directed and written by the same guys of the most action pact blockbuster of its year made a very average Netflix action movie.
I hope you don't mind feedback? Speaking over very engaging Marvel fight scenes puts your words into context, but it also makes your words very hard to focus on, because there's a very engaging Marvel fight scene happening at the same time. For someone as easily distracted as me, this might as well be a compilation of engaging Marvel fight scenes, with no words at all.

That was... vague. There wasn't anything that haven't been said before. However if you're planning on analysing in depth action scenes, I'm all for it. Want help?
Their goal is to keep the mind stone away from Thanos, not to save Vision. Remember Wanda actually “kills” Vision to save Wakanda and the rest of the Universe. Which doesn’t work, but still...
@@summertyme5748 The irony is that Vision turning white (pretty clear what that is referencing) and "I feel you", reveals that Shuri's efforts are doomed to failure either way. So alot of Wakandans died for nothing. Well, Wanda destroying the Mind Stone forces Thanos to use the Time Stone, which creates a time vortex that sends Ant-man to where he needs to be. I think it was Chthon, through Wanda, who actually destroyed the Mind Stone. The stone, if its sentient, would certainly not willingly destroy itself.
Relugus A couple problems w/your theory. Thanos’ rewind only affected his immediate area/vision himself. That is also solidified in AM&TW because they are affected by the snap, but not the time reversal. You also underestimate Wanda’s power, and assume the stones are sentient. I know they are in the comics, but this is the MCU. I’m pretty sure that Thor (w/Stormbreaker), or Thanos w/just the power stone could destroy all the other Infinity Stones. I’m pretty confused by your first paragraph. I don’t see the symbolism in it, really. With Shuri’s genius (higher than Stark OR T’Challa’s) level intelligence I’m sure she could have helped Vision out. I’m not trying to attack you (I enjoy a friendly debate), but you are kind of discrediting the Russo’s story. Because their whole point was that if the Avengers (+ GotG) were together during Infinity War, they would’ve had enough time to fix Vis, and keep the other stones out of Thanos’ gauntlet.
It’s not good, it’s great, especially the battle between Strange and Thanos, and between team Cap, and the Black order...and....between Iron man and Thanos...and.... :)
Then don't watch them. The fact that you're still wasting your time watching this video even though you say you claim to think that "all Marvel movies are the same" is kind of a contradiction. If you really believe they're all the same then why even waste your time?

I felt the Edinburgh battle was a so short it felt meaningless. The Wakanda battle was totally lacking in imagination and there was no teamwork.
Also, Wakanda not having tanks or a defence grid makes them look primitive. I mean, they have troop carriers but no tanks? Seriously?

Each fight revolving around a stone ended in a sacrifice. If they had to give up the stone to save a life or give up a life to get the stone.
