The composition here is very interesting. To some extent it indicates which villains they take to be most important; note that secondary villains like Justin Hammer, Kurse, Ayesha, and Ulysses Klaue are placed farther back and smaller than primary villains. Not sure why Zemo is so far back and tiny, though, considering that he was the primary villain of Civil War… maybe because he’s an operate-from-the-shadows kind of villain? (Computer-Zola is also in the back, but that might be for purely visual considerations.) Also, they’ve got the Mandarin a.k.a. Trevor Slattery on there pretty prominently, but where’s Aldrich Killian? Is he the guy between Ego and Zemo who looks like he’s on fire? Because if not I can’t figure out who that is. Note also that Hela and Ayesha are the only women. C’mon, Marvel.

Most importantly, though: what does it mean that Loki is placed front and center, and relatively larger than his nearest neighbors, making it look like he’s farther forward? Is it just because he was the villain of the first ensemble Avengers movie? Does it recognize the connection between him and Thanos? Is it an acknowledgment of his popularity, and the fact that he consistently gets ranked as the best Marvel villain? Might it be a sign (please, please) that they’ll let him play a significant role in Infinity War? (Again, I know I’m grasping at straws…)

@fuckyeahrichardiii, do you have any insights on this?

Tbh I think the overall critical and audience reaction to infinity war is going to be “??????? What the fuck”
65% rt score

Like it seems…….not only tone deaf given the current state of mind everyone has. But completely misunderands why people like Marvel movies. No one wants their faves’ send off to be a gratuitously depressing end that spits in the face of all the struggles they endured before it.
No one wants to see that.

All the unnecessarily dark and destructive shit is why people DON’T like the DC movies. Not a good role model, Marvel.

all i’m saying is…….there’s a reason thor: ragnarok, black panther, and guardians of the galaxy have done so fucking well 

Well, I actually think Thor: Ragnarok misfired by overdoing it on both the humor and the casual murder (especially in combination). But I thought Iron Man (1 and 3), the Avengers films, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Black Panther, in their different ways, all managed to strike the right balance between humor, pathos, and concern for avoiding collateral damage.
