Russo Bros. Say 'Avengers: Infinity War' Is "Without Question" a Thanos Movie

Avengers: Infinity War is filled with beloved Marvel heroes, but none of them are truly at the center of the film.

 

That role is reserved for the Mad Titan who seeks to wield the Infinity Stones, better known as Thanos. The powerful force of nature is making his way through the universe collecting the Stones to make a better world, and Joe and Anthony Russo are making him the star of the show (via TelegraphIndia).

 

"Without question," Joe said. "We always try to bring in topical themes into these films because they function on such a wide scale that we really want the audience to feel a sense of immediacy in their own lives about what they’re watching. Every villain is a hero in his own story and believes that what they’re doing is right. They’re just in conflict with the rest of the world. Thanos happens to believe that what he is doing is right, and he behaves nobly towards that goal. But he will not stop until he achieves the goal because he believes that there is weakness that stands between him and the completion of the goal."

 

Infinity War is the first Marvel film to really be told from the Villain's perspective, and the Russos loved the challenge of that.

 

"We thought it was fascinating to tell a story from the point of view of a villain," Joe said. "So when you watch the film, you’ll see that the film is told from Thanos’ perspective. That offers a unique insight into our heroes, but it also offers a unique insight into villains and how they think."

 

"It was a very organic choice in this film because we’re dealing with several different groups of characters, some of which have no knowledge of the existence of the other," Anthony said. "Thanos is the one thing that unifies them all in this movie. So, orientating our story and telling it from his point of view had a lot of practicality to it as well."

Well, looks like I'm going to skip opening weekend.  Not going to deal with that zoo fest.  I'm going to be the one who makes sure it only has a 30% drop in week 2:acclaim:.

 

***Plus those ticket sales seem a bit shady...numbers don't make sense.  You can only pack so much sardine into a can.

It looks like the big winner in comic films this year will be....................Josh Brolin. I hope he signed a nice royalty rate for both Thanos and Cable. 

You are not kidding!
