Kenapa Tempoh Masa Kemunculan Sesetengah Watak Dalam 'Infinity War' Singkat

Dengan barisan pelakon dan watak yang agak ramai dalam sebuah filem, kita semestinya tak boleh mengharapkan tempoh masa kemunculan setiap watak adalah sama. Namun, amat menarik untuk melihat siapakah yang menjadi watak yang lebih utama dalam filem berkenaan. Watak seperti Doctor Strange dan Rocket kelihatan menyerlah, manakala Captain America dan Black Widow kelihatan agak tenggelam.

Christopher Markus dan Stephen McFeely, penulis lakonlayar Infinity War baru-baru ini bercakap kepada The Hollywood Reporter tentang tempoh masa kemunculan watak seperti Captain America dan penamat filem ini. Mereka merasakan bahawa satu-satu cara untuk menamatkan filem ini hanyalah melalui petikan jari Thanos.

There are still questions. What are they [The Avengers] going to do, and all those sorts of things,” says Markus. “But if you had stopped it before he snapped his fingers, or with four stones, that really is just a pause button. That really is just going, ‘What’s he going to do?’ ‘Will your hero stop dangling from the cliff?’ And we wanted to put a much more definitive ‘Yes, this happens. Deal with it,’ tone at the end of it, rather than jerk you around

Dan ketika menjelaskan mengenali tempoh masa kemunculan Captain America dan Black Widow yang singkat, mereka menyatakan bahawa banyak lagi kisah mereka akan dirungkai dalam filem akan datang.

Some of the people, when you weigh up who you are seeing, seem to take a little bit of a back seat in this one. When we did crack them, what we realized was they had far more potential in the movie coming next year, just in terms of how their character would be tested by the story. I’m not telling you what the story is. I will say there is less Steve Rogers and Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) than you might expect in this movie [Infinity War]. Because they are such hard-bitten people, when a threat comes, they stand there and they take the threat. They don’t crack. They don’t whimper. They don’t start talking about all their failed opportunities. So, there isn’t that much to explore, especially when you don’t have a lot of time. But there’s a lot later

McFeely juga mendedahkan bahawa mereka memerah idea untuk Infinity War dan Avengers 4 pada masa yang sama supaya mereka boleh melihat keseluruhan filem serentak.

We cracked them both [Infinity War and Avengers 4] together, so we had to give ourselves permission to say that some people are going to get more in the next movie.

Dan apabila ditanya kenapa Ant-Man dan Hawkeye tiada, McFeely menyatakan bahawa mereka harus mengambil kira filem Ant-man and the Wasp dan bagaimana Infinity War akan memberi kesan kepadafilem tersebut. Malah, Marcus menyatakan Ant-Man tidak sesuai berada dalam filem Infinity War kerana sifat watak tersebut yang ringan 

Ant-Man the franchise is very light-hearted. It’s fun. It maybe even skews younger. If we were to put Ant-Man in this extremely heavy movie, and then have to say to the guys who are making the Ant-Manmovie, ‘Yeah, he went through hell, but now go ahead and have your little romp and we’ll pick it up afterwards,’ that’s why we have to really sort of manage your interconnections and go, ‘Let’s go and hold off so you can enjoy that without feeling a bad taste in your mouth.’

Sememangnya filem Ant-man berlaku sebelum Infinity War, namun adalah amat menarik untuk melihat bagaimana Ant-man and The Wasp akan mempunyai kaitan dengan Infinity War. Malah, kemunculan Hawkeye yang masih menjadi rahsia memberikan keterujaan. Filem Infinity War kini sudah mula ditayangan di pawagam.
