This is getting silly.

"This is war!"

"I've never felt power like this before" (with eyes conveniently getting black so the viewers know it's evil)

Blah, blah, blah...

Danger! Horror! APOCALYPSE! COSMIC levels of POWER!

Meh.

At least the first movie started in a somewhat interesting way, with Logan fighting in a cage for money in order to survive (which makes one wonder whether he could die from starvation or dehydration, but nevertheless). This, however, is going nowhere: a pure reenacting of human's fantasies of power and some sort of cosmic worthiness, with massive things blowing up and human being surviving blows beyond their natural capability. At least Marvel Cinematic Universe's characters are somewhat interesting, though even they falter.
