Infinity Pool

Ok, we’ve seen Avengers: Infinity War (2018). You can tell us spoilers. Actually, there wasn’t anything to spoil in this one, since everyone heard about the Snap - “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel too good”.

It starts in space, with Thanos attacking the Asgardian’s space ark to steal the Tesseract Power Stone. He kills Loki and pretty much everyone else, but sends Hulk to Earth. There, he tells Dr. Strange about the situation, and they get Tony Stark in on the project, who brings along Peter Parker. When Thanos’ goons attack, Dr. Strange and Spider-man wind up on their spaceship.

Meanwhile, the Gaurdians of the Galaxy rescue Thor, who takes them all to a Troll planet so that a giant Peter Dinklage can forge him a battle axe. Also, Vision and the Red Witch go to Wakanda to preserve Vizh’s Soul Gem.

And ... I am relying heavily on the Wikipedia plot summary to get this far. A lot of Marvel movies are overstuffed with character and plot, and this one tops them all. At least I was awake for the whole thing. Ms. Spenser conked out about 10 minutes in.

In the end, what with all the hurly-burly and goings-on, I remember almost nothing about this 2-1/2 hour movie. I enjoyed it, loved watching it, but took almost nothing away. Of course, since I expect most of the movie’s consequences to be reversed in the next one, maybe that’s OK. But I suspect this odd amnesia will only make it more fun to re-watch.
