Take 1: Much is made over the fate of MCU heroes and heroines, but here’s the thing: Avengers: Infinity War is about a muscle-bound, purple-skinned, power priest saving the universe by making hard choices no one else will. All praise Thanos.
Take 2: Avengers: Infinity War: I like it better the second time through because it solves the problem of overpopulation.
Take 3: Slick as can be and sustained by tragedy, Avengers: Infinity War invites us to accept a cliffhanger and the resulting three-hour run time of a necessary sequel.
