"Avengers: Infinity War" Ending and End Credits Scene Explained | Spoiler Alert

"There's no one in the car..."


I'm not gonna keep saying this. Spoilers ahead. Major spoilers. The most spoilers. Spoiler Alert. Huge spoilers ahead. 

I just wanna quickly say that so much of Infinity War's magic comes from it's spoilers. It's shocks and awe-inspiring moments are a result of 18 films worth of build up. People have literally grown up with these characters, myself included, but not everyone has the time or money to buy a ticket to see it opening weekend. Don't be selfish, don't spoil this film for others. In the words of the Russo Brothers (who directed this very movie), 'Thanos Demands Your Silence'.

Cool, ready? 

Let's go.

The Countdown to 'Avengers: Infinity War' Series | A Spoiler-Free Rumour Round-Up and Catch-Up

 It's the final countdown...



Haven't read all of our 'Countdown to Avengers: Infinity War' posts? Don't worry! I've collected them all for you here in one post...

The Soul Stone Resurrection Theory | Countdown to 'Avengers: Infinity War'

"I'm the goddess of Death. What are you the god of again?"


Time's up, Marvel fans. The first showing of Infinity War happened last night in L.A. at the film's world premiere and spoiler-free (and spoiler-filled) reviews are showering the film in acclaim. This will be a spoiler free post, don't worry about that, but be warned: Forbes and Vanity Fair have published major Infinity War spoilers so if you want to go in fresh stay away from YouTube comments and chat forums. This post does contain speculation, but I haven't seen or read into the spoilers for Infinity War, so whether this does or doesn't come true within the movie isn't known to me. 

Now, with that disclaimer out of the way, let's get this final Countdown to 'Avengers: Infinity War' entry under way. Today I'm gonna discuss a popular fan theory regarding the elusive Soul Stone, the only Infinity Stone yet to appear within the MCU. According to comic lore, the Soul Stone has the power to capture and resurrect lost souls. While the Soul Stone may not even appear within this movie (it could be saved for next year's Avengers 4) it is worth speculating who Thanos could bring back onto our screens - and for what purpose...

'Infinity War' Cast Q&A Transcript | Countdown To 'Avengers: Infinity War'

"Are you going to be in Avengers 4?"


Last night every single Avenger took to L.A. for the world premiere of Avengers: Infinity War - a movie set to make the biggest box office debut of all time. Before they arrived to the red carpet, though, they all sat down en masse for a press junket Q&A hosted by the Grand Master himself Jeff Goldblum. The following is a transcript of the event as filmed by Collider:

'Beychella' Breakdown and Review | The Beyonce Homecoming at Coachella 2018

Was this the greatest live performance of all time?

Edit: Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce is now available on Netflix.


It's 5am. I'm waking up this early because Beyonce is about to perform at Coachella (and henceforth live on the official Coachella YouTube stream) and it remains a secret to nobody that if I am anything, it's a Beyonce fan. As the fantastic HAIM set finishes up, Beyonce posts a pre-written message to her Facebook page telling her "Beyhive" how much she loves them and can't wait for the imminent performance.

"[I] have a special show planned for you so please be safe and stay hydrated. We need your energy! There will be an hour intermission before my performance, so mark your spot, charge your phones, grab your drinks. Can't wait to see y'all at 11:05pm!"

It's not normal for Beyonce to post messages like this. Loyal fans know that even getting an Instagram caption from Bey is a rare moment of interpersonal interaction. This is a megastar famous for dropping music and visual albums without any form of announcement, after all. That was when I knew. This wasn't going to be a normal festival set alike her gound-breaking yet stripped-back Glastonbury debut in '11. Beyonce was about to fuck it up, and we only had an hour to find out how.

Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies | Countdown to 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Where will your favourite Marvel movie land on this comprehensive ranking?


It's Marvel Month here at JG Review in honour of Avengers: Infinity War's imminent theatrical release. It's time, then, to finally rank all of the Marvel films. Considering there are 18 films within the MCU to date, this is bound to provoke disagreement, so let me know what you would change in the comments below! This is just...my...opinion.

Reminder: I'll only be ranking the films that take place within the Avengers universe (or MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe]). Fox's X-Men franchise doesn't come under this bracket.

Okay, let's do this...

Where And What Are The Infinity Stones? | Countdown to 'Avengers: Infinity War'

#WhereIsTheSoulStone


It's officially April which means Avengers: Infinity War is round the corner. With over 20 different films having led up to this cinematic event, it would be understandable if you need a refresher in terms of what you should know walking in to the movie theatre. Look no further, then, than this humble blog, because in the four weeks leading up to the Avengers' ultimate outing I will fill you in with all the (admittedly nerdy) details.

This week's assignment? The Infinity Stones - powerful singularities that predate the Universe itself...
