I think the Hulk/Banner conflict is the set up to write Ruffalo out and have Hulk around full time. Ties in with Ragnorak a bit too with 2 year Hulk.
Interesting they would still have to pay Ruffalo though because they used his facial likeness to create Hulks look.
I expect that he'll eventually take control fulltime and renounce his life of violence and become a hair dresser, and they'll do a spin off movie called Barbershop Hulk.
Of course he's the worst hair stylist ever because his idea of a hair style is to smash your hair

Saw this yesterday, and have had more time to think about Avengers Infinity War I'm still really surprised by the film. It was really a masterpiece of comic book movies.
I loved Thor and Rocket. They had such chemistry together on screen as buddies. My favourite line of the movie is him thanking rocket as "sweet rabbit".
Drax's reaction to Thor is incredible too. "You're a dude hes a man.. a handsome, muscular man". God, Drax is incredible. fit
The end was dark and powerful. Spiderman dissolving and Groot were brutal.
Can't say enough of Brolin and his Thanos. Thanos has likely become the best super hero villain of all time on the big screen. Just perfect.
This whole MCU has been like 10 years of great sex and this movie was a powerful orgasm. I feel spent. I need a smoke.
My bluray arrived a day early! This is still so so good on a 2nd and 3rd viewing and is confirmed as my favourite comic book movie. The Gamora scenes and the ending still give me massive feels and damn is Thanos ever brilliant villain. I also absolutely love the Stark/Strange interactions and everything with Thor.
A few nitpicky things I noticed though:
-At the start when Hulk/Banner is sent back to Earth and says "Thanos is coming. He's coming..." Strange and Wong respond with "Who?". These are great lines but are you telling me Doctor Strange is this super genius protector of earth and he has never heard of Thanos? Come on.
-The Vision and Wanda scene early on is the weakest part of the film. It is difficult to find their relationship authentic and the action scene which follows is poorly lit and not up to the standard of other scenes.
-Thanos tells Thor he should have gone for the head but what Thor really needed to do was show up 5 minutes earlier with Cap and Wanda and the rest of the Avengers. I guess he wasn't in radio contact with anyone but you'd think Falcon or War Machine could have gone to get him instead of their futile attempts to delay Thanos.

Vision and Wanda is just fan service for years of comic continuity. There's not much to explain why they're together from the couple of films they've been in together.
That's really not true. Knowing they were together maybe it's far more obvious but it's spanned three movies. When Quicksilver dies, Vision is the one to save her in a Superman-Lois Lane fashion before the city falls and comforts her.
During Civil War, Vision is living with Wanda in the Avengers hideout, making her favourite foods (poorly) and clearly developing a connection. Sweet talking her even.
During the big civil war fight at the airport, when Wanda is knocked out Vision stops what he is doing to see to her. He hits War Machine because, as he explicitly told Stark, he was distracted due to Wanda, which surprised them both.
Im not familiar with the comics,so maybe its set up this way. But Vision has been completely neutered ever since he showed up. His power level is approaching Thor's, but hes always on the sidelines being a big whiny baby.
I wonder if the story demanded that, or if they didn't know what to do with another character of that power level.
I mean Vision was held back until it was time to end things in Civil War. But he seemed very nerfed in Infinity War. Probably for the best to move the story along, but it was still a little odd. That's a very, very minor quibble for me though.

It's hardly spanned three movies when Vision wasn't even in the first half of Age of Ultron. Yes, knowing their history from the comics you can see these moments in the films and know what's being built up. To go from meeting each other in AoU to having a moment or to (one of them when she was under house arrest) in Civil War to sneaking away to steal moments in IW is pretty much fast forwarded to a large extent.
As a person that doesn't have knowledge of the comics' history I felt the Vision/Witch romance was poorly developed and the least effective and interesting part of IW.

Did we ever figure out why Heimdall used his dying bifrost teleport to save some ####### monster he just met instead of his best friend who he’s the sworn protector of?
Yeah one of my thoughts walking out of the theater was that if Vision is permanently dead, what a weak ass way to go out. He basically spent the whole movie getting wrecked by Corvus Glaive, who for some reason was in turn bitchslapped by Black Widow, who doesn't even have any superpowers. Pretty rough look on the guy.

I got the impression with SW and Vision that they were weak characters that no one really liked or cared about, so they got just enough screen time to dump them without it feeling too forced.

I really liked what they did with Vision's character design. It was fairly lame how weak he all of a sudden became against Thanos though. He started off as an ultra-intelligent robot with fairly good command of his infinity gem's powers.
I was not overly impressed with the Scarlet Witch's portrayal though. Although Quicksilver's was much much worse.
You are all objectively wrong. Everything about IW was absolutely perfect.
The Vision/Scarlet Witch storyline was touching. Given how many characters and events are going on, we didn't have time for a full blown romantic subplot. Just put 2 and 2 together and fill in the blanks for any relationship stuff we missed.
The "least interesting part of IW" is still 10,000 better than anything in any DC movie since TDK.
