0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Eric Voss, and this pre-Aventures in game time is getting pretty hard to fill with anything other than hiding in a bunker with no Wi-Fi to avoid all the leaks and spoilers. |
0:08.5 | But I think the best way to prep is a wide-eyed, in-depth rewatch of Avengers Infinity War. |
0:13.5 | Because pretty much every frame of this movie is filled with details, many of which we overlooked the first time. |
0:19.5 | Now, if you haven't already, you should watch my first breakdown for all the references to the comics and other interesting details, |
0:25.0 | but here I'm gonna go even deeper and explain how Infinity War is a real different movie |
