I SO want to do a marathon of all the films before Infinity War.  And I'm SO not going to have the time for anything close to that.  :lol 

Can't believe I'm so excited for this film.  But then again, this is something we have been building toward for ten years, so I guess it's understandable.

jingle.kids and I just have Dr. Strange and Thor to watch, then we've run through all of them (though... we've seen Thor2 enough times that we skipped over it - I think that's my least enjoyed MCU flick).

In the words of Chuck Wollery.... 2 and 2 (weeks and days though).  So jacked for this.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

I finished a full run before Black Panther, including AoS. The only part of the MCU proper that I'm missing is Agent Carter.

And yes, I'm fucking psyched, I could open a car trunk with the nerd boner I'll be sporting for the next two weeks.

Watched both seasons of Agent Carter back in the day. First one was good and fun, the second was lacking though. Hayley Atwell did a great job.

I gave the whole rewatch thing some thought.

Then I realized that Infinity War is not the culmination of everything, Avengers 4 is.

So my plan is to do a huge rewatch before Avengers 4.

And since I plan on doing a (mostly) chronological re-watch, it works out well. I can start with Captain America, then go see Captain Marvel in theaters, then move on to Iron Man etc.

Well, sort of.  But my understanding is that, although they removed the "Infinity War" title from 4 and have said that 3 and 4 aren't just one long movie split into two films, they are still really two essential parts of one story.  So I think the proper way to view it is along the lines of 3 being more or less the "beginning of the culmination" and 4 being the "ending of the culmination," for lack of a better term.

But still, nothing wrong with your plan.  Well, except one minor (truly) detail:

Well, no, not Captain Marvel.  That comes out after Avengers 4.

I'm definitely gonna be the big marathon before 2019's big Avengers flick, whatever it's called. Plus, I'll be able to add Ant-Man and the Wasp and Infinity War to the list
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

Captain Marvel comes out March 6 2019. Avengers 4 comes out May 3rd 2019.

I am not a hardcore Marvel fan, but as Infinity War approaches, I find myself becoming very excited. This weekend, I re-watched three of the films in order to prepare myself for next week. I must say that Marvel have created something really special with this universe. It's the Tim Duncan of film franchises: Insane consistency and longevity that you might take for granted in the moment but is damn impressive in hindsight. I can't wait to see what's next!

All hail Titanos.

I too am super psyched for this film. That's all I've been thinking about all weekend. Infinity this, Infinity that, just let me make it to the dimming of the lights without spoilers and I'm good. I'll be in line with my friends but I'm going to have earbuds in. I refuse to give people the chance to spoil this for me.

Okay, the new Venom trailer officially has me stoked after seeing the transformation.

Not watching any other trailers though, that was perfect and I have no doubt that it being this early in the year, they'll probably spoil a good quarter of the rest of the film by the time it is released.


Also this is the best Infinity War trailer. This is an indisputable fact.

CAN'T BELIEVE THEY JUST PUT SPOILERS OUT THERE LIKE THAT!   >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(


On another note, a question occurred to me yesterday.  In the first two Iron Man films, we have Tony based in his place in Malibu.  But then he builds Stark Tower -> Avengers Tower in New York.  I don't recall there ever being an explanation of why.  Anyone know?

Do you mean why he built and moved to Stark Tower? While he was staying there in The Avengers I think it was a building that was more for Stark Industries rather than intended as a replacement for his personal home - he still lived at the house in Malibu in Iron Man 3 before it was destroyed. So it probably makes sense to think of it as a better replacement for Stark Industries HQ / Research labs after they got trashed at the end of Iron Man 1, and as a way to highlight the arc reactor energy in a very visible way (since the tower was powered by it).

No, but the point is that Tony was West Coast based and could probably see downtown L.A. from his house, so it just seemed odd that ALL of his operations suddenly shifted locations like that without any sort of explanation. 

Ultimately, it's not a big deal.  But just wanted to see if there was any info dropped in the films (or something in the comics for those who read) that would have given any explanation.

Wikipedia pretty much says that Stark Tower was always in New York.   And the idea of the film was that Loki needed a massive power source to sustain the open portal to space.  That was probably the reason.

Read the plot for Infinity War.   :omg:  I won't be seeing it in the theater, but will rent it on digital once it's available, so the spoilers don't matter to me.  The trailers have revealed very little of the story, and it's incredible that they've kept it so secret until the premieres.

Edit - Wikipedia was full of spoilers for a while this morning and someone changed the page back.   :lol

I figured the answer would just be "They wanted the Avengers to be set in New York" (with the in-universe answer being "For whatever reason businesses sometimes move from city to city"), but from a Wiki it does say something about Stark Industries wanting to continue their relationship wth New York after dealing with the clean up battle at Stark Expo (Iron Man 2). Maybe that comes from a tie-in comic. So I guess the best answer is it was to make up to New York for the destruction caused at the Stark Expo. I imagine the city was thrilled to have a safe and sensible investment from Stark Industries that would have no major incidents or damages associated with it.

"The Avengers" have always been a New York thing in the comics - along with Dr. Strange, Spidey, and FF - probably many other comic book franchises.  I think the "move" from LA to NY was just for plot-line conveniences, and any explanation was conveniently swept under the rug.

It also sets up a possibility for the West Coast Avengers name/faction to come into the MCU.
