Before when I watched Spider-Man 3, I watched it by itself, and I must say, it's a much better movie if you watch it by itself and treat it as it's own thing. It's almost like a parody of the other two. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but not nearly as much as I do the first two Wow, that's a really good way to look at it. I never considered it that way, but you're right. Emo Parker is a complete parody of Maguire's Peter Parker character, even though it wasn't intended to be. Maguire even has a line in there after he first fights Sandman where he laments, "Where do these guys come from?" while emptying sand from his spider-boot.

Didn't we used to have that emoji back on the Spidey boards?

Kinda, we had an emoticon that was Spidey's face holding a similar sign.

Recently, it seems people and/or some publications have been getting confused on what Marvel is doing with their next 2 Avengers movies. One publication in particular, Polygon, wrote that Avengers Infinity War has been reduced to a single film now instead of a 2 parter, and they (Polygon) are unsure of what the 4th Avengers movie will be about.
A couple days ago Marvel and Disney announced that they were officially retitling the 3rd Avengers movie Avengers: Infinity War, dropping the 'part 1', and officially referring to the 4th Avengers movie as the 'untitled Avengers' film for the time being. My understanding of it is that they were always going to be stand alone chapters to conclude the same big story, unlike what the Harry Potter series did, the Hunger Games for Mockingjay, or The Hobbit. I also thought that they had long since announced the titles were expected to change once we got further in the production schedule. So far as I know, they're doing exactly what they said they would do and nothing has actually changed.
I think people have always been confused about the 2 film wrap up idea. Whereas Mockingjay was a single book that was split into 2 movies, the next 2 Avengers movies are the culmination of all the Marvel Studios' films and are taking inspiration from the comic arc of the same name. Infinity War was never a single book, it was x amount of issues that were spread out over 3 volumes. However, Marvel isn't really doing a strict adaptation of those 3 volumes. They could make any number of movies (okay, well not any number, an arbitrary amount) that felt like complete chapters to tell this story, and it still wouldn't be the same thing as what Peter Jackson did for The Hobbit.

So wait, is it still the same story stretched over two movies, or is there some sort of resolution at the end of Infinity War that makes it's sequel more of a follow up than a second half? I was kind of under the impression that one would cliffhanger to set up the other, but perhaps there's going to be more resolution than I expected?

I think it'll probably end like Age of Ultron or Civil War. Both set up multiple movies but were stand alone in that there was a resolution for the situation at hand.

I do. They've always been fun but they continue to raise the bar in what they can accomplish. Wish I knew what they were going to do next. They didn't announce their next project at the end of the last one like they sometimes do. I think Captain America (from 2014's Winter Soldier) vs. Snyder's Batman would be fun. A while back in another thread BIB posed the question of who would win between those two. I dunno who would win between them then, but Cap's fighting continues to improve in every movie. I definitely think Cap would win now, awesome as Affleck's Batman has been in such a short time.

I think it's supposed to be Nightwing vs Winter Soldier, but I could be wrong. I wanna see them do Deadpool vs Deathstroke. Another channel already did this in animated form, but I still wanna see it live action. I also really wanna see a follow up of Batman vs Darth Vader. Maybe Robin vs. Boba Fett?

Hey excellent, I don't know far you are in Gravity Falls, but when you finish, you really need to get Journal 3. It not only catalogs the author's findings, but his own adventures, as well entries by Dipper and Mable with stories and details not in the show.
