The hulking, unstoppable Avengers: Endgame is genius, but of an evil and shockingly boring variety GlobeArts
– a staggering achievement in corporate synergy and an everlasting testament to the persuasive power of cash-filled dump trucks over even the most pure of artistic souls – is most certainly the latter. The 181-minute epic is furiously smart and frequently witty. There are instances of indelible delight and glimpses of technical excellence.
Before the accusations of hyperbole and death threats start being tossed around, consider: The big baddie of, just as in the movie that preceded it, is a towering intergalactic purple warlord named Thanos who aims to extinguish half of all living things in order to deliver balance to the universe., meanwhile, is a hulking blood-thirsty beast of its own, created for the sole purpose of dominating the box office and vanquishing every other film in its wake.
, “and it would have felt like we weren’t honouring all the threads and franchises that are feeding into this climax.”isn’t a movie in the traditional sense; it is a gaping maw intent on gobbling up the cultural conversation for the explicit purpose of fattening its belly. This crass quarterly-profit hunger isn’t new to Hollywood – the entire studio system is built on such a philosophy – but the sheer scale of it is.
The remaining heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are left to take a stand against Thanos in the wake of Infinity War's dramatic climax.And I’ll play along with the studio’s game, because I’ve seen what happens when, and I’m not remotely that brave.
