Fireworks Display on Film

Art must be accepted on its own terms. So, Avengers: Infinity War must be judged within the superhero genre developed by Marvel Studios. I don’t have the right to have an opinion on that subject. I guess I am just not a fan.
It seems to me to be one too-long special effects fireworks display on film. I like pyrotechnics, but not for two hours. I appreciate that the characters poke ribald fun at themselves in a brutal, no-rules way, but I must admit that I don’t get the joke half the time. I’m not so sure about the hoards of ten year olds that were out too late without parental supervision.
I read that many fans were broken-hearted by the mass killing of so many superheroes. Don’t grieve. Death is only a minor setback in the world of Marvel.
I think I’ll go watch my favorite show now; “Call the Midwife,”
