Black panther in the comics is fucking stupid.

I thought BP's indestructibility in the movie was stupid.

I've only glimpsed Iron Spider - so forgive my ignorance: I feel like an ironman suit would make him worse by clunk. In homecoming, we saw some great gadgets - but in an actual suit?

In Ragnarok, Strange was Dues Ex Machina power level

How has anyone remotely interested in comic books and/or these movies not already spoilered themselves? I can't think of one memorable narrative from any Marvel movie. They're about somewhat quirky dialogue, quips/jokes, and fun set pieces.

I haven't seen BP or Spiderman homecoming, do I need to see them before this?

Not really. The only required viewings are Iron Man 3, Thor 1, and Thor 2.

Oh, and the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies are related, somehow.

Since a lot of this seems to go happen in Wakanda, I would say BP would be a solid one to catch. Spiderman , I think I can sum up the involvement....

Spiderman gets to kicked up new suit in Civil War, it gets further unlocked in Homecoming. He and Tony bitch at one another a lot.. Tony shows him the Iron Spider suit at the end and invites him to be an Avenger and he declines, then goes back to NYC (still with his hopped up suit, but not full on Iron Spider level.)

I'm ready now, I watched Thor Ragnarok which ended my run of watching all of the MCU movies again to prepare for this. Took me about 3 months, but I'm done...bring it on now. :)

We've known since the first IW trailer that Wakanda will feature prominently in the movie, so while you don't need to see it to cover plot gaps, BP provides some background/context for one of the major settings.

The extra credit scenes offer some pretty minor continuity as well.

Deus Ex Machina Power?

You mean the Sorcerer supreme who is the most powerful magic user on earth, and battles interdimensional gods was actually depicted as being powerful?

Crazy.

Also, all he did in the film was catch loki in a rift, the same loki that has been shot by an arrow by Hawkeye and crushed by hulk.

Spoilers are everywhere folks. Browse with caution! Looks like it’s getting high first impressions.

Yea, if you subscribe to the rock/paper/scissors theory of superhero powers Thor was always weak against magic. It's why Loki was a good villain for him. Loki being vulnerable to Strange was more Strange catching him by surprise.

First impression are looking great. Funny, a lot of cool character interactions, very emotional, lots of chill running down your spine moments. Thanos is awesome.

The few somewhat negatives were about that there's too much stuff happening, a criticism that was somewhat expected to be honest with the number of characters involved.

I'm totally excited.

I was loling at some of the reactions where people were still swooning over Black Panther saying it was better.

BP is probably better to fully understand everything going on in Wakanda and what Wakanda is (i still think the worst part about black panther is black panther / killmonger) the world building and things about the nation were the best part of the movie imo. i would put it firmly in the middle of the pack of marvel movies. Spiderman on the other hand i would say probably has less interesting back story since we all know who spiderman is, but has a great villain - who knew they could make vulture bad ass and still relatable as a criminal, i'd probably rate this higher than BP - but purely from an Infinity war standpoint if you saw civil war you know everything you need to know about spiderman, not necessarily everything you need to know about Wakanda.

Looks like Charlie had a hard time talking about the movie without being able to talk about the movie....
