As you may or may not recall, last month I decided I wanted to share my predictions for "Avengers: Infinity War". However, instead of just giving a list of what I think would happen, I turned it into a thrilling game of bingo. The predictions I made were really all over the place. I had anything from Marvel daring to break the 4th wall in a film that wasn't "Deadpool" to simply assuming they would forget Hawkeye.
With an open mind and a box of tissues, I went into my (weeks late) viewing of Infinity War with my bingo card in the back of my mind. It has been a few weeks since I saw the film, but, I did my best to work out the bingo card. Therefore, I give you, the results:
The only other prediction I was stunned by was the (kind of) surprise suite upgrade. I only count this because of the equipment the Hulk had when he couldn't turn into the Hulk. Some may say that isn't right and doesn't count but this is my bingo card and the movie is open to interpretation, okay?
Now... Onto the squares I didn't get right and how embarrassed I am by them.
Every time I look at the "yell at Loki" square, I cringe just a little bit. I just should've known Loki wouldn't be making it out of this alive. I never thought in a million years they would kill the one character everyone adored...and so soon! I barely had my peanut M&Ms opened when he was stabbed!
Another square that gets me every time is the Ant-Man square. Never in a million years had I thought they wouldn't include Ant-Man. He was so vital and incredible in "Captain America: Civil War" that I just figured he would tag along again. He's basically an Avenger! Also, while on the note of people being Avengers, where the heck was Hawkeye?
He wasn't technically forgotten but oh my gosh, the man is an actual Avenger. He was in the original! And you just shoved him away! the family excuse is getting old and Marvel is looking for any excuse to not give a great superhero a decent solo film.
Despite what was off and all, the film was actually pretty enjoyable. I am thankful I didn't faint at the end of it. (There were some close calls, though)
