Avengers Infinity war

So I finally got round to watching this The plot devices are very visible. They deliberately sideline the Hulk. Now, they have him fight Thanos at the beginning of the episode, and the Hulk comes off worse. Okay, well we have seen the Hulkbuster, knock down the Hulk, we have seen Thor go toe to toe with him. Anyway, this is noticeable when we see Thanos, and Gamorra fight, or Iron man, lead an attack on Thanos. Again, there is the same issue with Thor, Thor is sidelined from most of the episode. He joins the Guardians of the Galaxy. Chris Hemsworth is great in this he is well written and carries a lot of the films with his charisma Peter Dinklage! playing one of the Asgardian dwarves! Also was Stormbreaker not the hammer used by Beta Ray Bill. Well, the Ballard of Beta ray bill is one of my favorite stories I am reminded of  Transformers the movie. Everyone will remember the deaths. Even though it is a fantasy movie. The pleas of Tom Holland, as a young much younger than Garfi

Dial-up modems, Alta Vista search engine, and the CD ROM. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is on broadcast TV. Grunge, and some music I had forgotten, Garbage was one of the few great bands of the 1990s.  The Stan Lee cameo was really well done. It was great to see him reading the script to Mallrats So, Captain Marvel is well acted. I note Annette Benning's performance, particularly the heel turn. I thought she was aping Hilary Clinton The Australian accent seems to have replaced the British one, as the non-American weird accent in Hollywood's ear. Also, did I see a little of Angel/Buffy with the Alien drinking a coke I am getting bored by people having existential discussions when sparring I think the problem is two-fold. The more powerful a superhero the less interesting they are. I found the Dark Phoenix stories in the X
