Entry #6: My Favorite Movie

 I have watched and enjoyed countless movies. I enjoy movies of nearly every genre. The genre that has appealed me the most is action and story telling. This brings me to my favorite movie and my favorite franchise. Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War has been my favorite movie ever since I saw it as a kid. It is a film that combines all of Marvel's superheros to fight together in one singular movie. There are spoilers in this blog if you have not watched it.

In the Marvel Universe, there were numerous superhero movies that each contain a different protagonist with some form of special abilities. These abilities can range from intellect to super strength or magical powers. After all these different movies of countless superheros and their own story, Avengers Infinity war brings them all together to fight for one cause. This cause is to save half of all life from the main villain Thanos. 

Thanos is a very talkative, strong, and skilled titan. He believes that by removing half of all life, the other half would thrive and create a better universe. I like him because he believes that what he is doing is right. In order to accomplish this, Thanos must find all six of the infinity stones created by the big bang and snap his fingers holding them. Every single stone is held by a certain hero.

Thanos defeated each and every single hero and was able to obtain all 6 of the stones. One of the superhero's "Thor" was able to defeat him with his new axe and stab him in the chest. Thanos then said one of my favorite lines ever. "You should have gone for the head." He then snaps his fingers and wins, removing half of all live in the universe. The movie ends shortly after Thanos rests in his retirement home, alone on a random planet.

Even though I was very sad seeing my favorite characters turn to dust and die, I was also very surprised by the ending as this was the first movie I had watched where the villain actually won. I got to see all my favorite characters fight side by side, and they still were not enough for the genius of a villain Thanos was. 

Before the movie was released in 2018, it was the most hyped movie of the century. Millions of people anticipated trailers and its release date, and tried their best to hide spoilers. It was truly one of its kind.

On its release day, I went to watch it in theaters with my family. Nearly every 10 seconds, there was a big laughter or applaud amongst the crowd. Of course, there was a deep sorrow and morning at the ending. The experience for seeing it the first time was unreal, and I could watch it for the first time again. 

In conclusion, Infinity War has been my favorite movie for six years, and I will be surprised if anything could top it. Whenever I can get the chance, I will continue to watch the movie with newcomers as I get the same goosebumps every time.
