<Loki Finale> - I assume you're talking about when the duo meets Kang. Admittedly I wasn't super into the show as a whole, although the last two eps were indeed interesting. It just endlessly annoyed me that Loki wore a regular human suit. I know it's uncomfortable to sport the extravagant god of mischief attire and maybe it would have dipped too far into the budget, but fuck dude. The Asgardian clothing is dope.

Oh uh but aside from that, the meeting with Kang was def a highlight. I think. I remember enjoying it, but I honestly can't remember much of an impact from it. Intended to introduce the multiverse but well... I kind of think it made it more convoluted instead. For instance you can enjoy NWH and MoM without knowing anything about Loki's show. But then I also expect season 1 to be more interesting on a rewatch later after Kang and all of this is more developed, a lot of the MCU gets better after more context comes to light afterall.

<Come a Little Bit Closer> - Ooooh this is a fantastically fun sequence. I do have to come clean about my first time watching this film though, because it was a clear example of tonal whiplash for me. Not because of the movie itself, but because it was around the time that I was catching up with Game of Thrones. I was acclimated to realistic bloody violence, so when I saw real people being exploded into the sky and falling back to the ground repeatedly with not even a scratch it completely threw me off. I was expecting people to get stabbed through the mouth at any moment and I realized I just wasn't in the right mindset to enjoy GotG2 at the time.

Since then I've viewed it multiple times with a better mindset, and god damn it's such a wonderful movie. The only complaint I maintain is that Drax should never heartily guffaw, he's not supposed to express any extreme emotions one way or the other (except maybe anger, Drax the Destroyer etc).

But I should probably talk about the scene in question now, Yondu is another comic character they managed to take from nothing and make into something. His presence in GotG2 is nothing if not heroic, and even when he's mercilessly destroying mooks left and right with a weapon that seems like it could rule the galaxy, he still comes off as a chill dude who just wants to reunite with his estranged abducted-son. Perfect father figure tbh.

<Black Panther's enlightenment> - I know you're mad at me about the AoS conundrum, but then you managed to pick one of the greatest scenes in all of MCU. So hopefully you can forgive me. Because let me reiterate: Black Panther's confrontation with Zemo is possibly a top 5 moment in the entirety of the franchise.

This is a true hero right here, someone who realizes that vengeance isn't something worth fighting for. To the point where he actually saves the person he was seeking to kill. That alone is a fantastic turning point for a hero, but it gets even better when you consider he's saving the villain from committing suicide.

"The living are not done with you yet."

Damn.

Just damn. I can't come up with the proper words to describe how much I love this scene. It sold me on the character immediately.

<WHY is Gamora?> - Easily one of the funniest Drax scenes, and perfect characterization for him. You can pretty much throw me any scene from Infinity War and it will most likely make whatever I choose to call S Tier. The entire movie is on another level from anything else -- whether comic book inspired or otherwise.
