I’d have to disagree. The comments seem like fairly standard nerdrage in defense of their particular Marvel fetish. I think the article’s thrust is valid: the Infinity Gems thing is indeed “depressingly formulaic,” and IMHO the least interesting and least entertaining part of the movies. They are, indeed, differently-colored MacGuffins, and nothing more. Each one is overpowered beyond the point of drama. I mean really, if the orange one gives you total control over the past, present, and future, the yellow one allows you to alter reality to fulfill any wish you could make, and the red one wields all the powers of the entire space/time continuum… what is the practical difference between them? And Thanos sits there brooding on his stupid throne floating out there in space, mooning over Death and how best to to woo her… snoooooze. Really, I’d much rather watch the Civil War storyline, screwed up as it is.
