INFINITY WAR doesn't follow the common, three-act structure--not exactly. And yet, the plotting and inflection points are fantastic. Jay Sherer takes a writer's view of INFINITY WAR and breaks down the story: each act, all the inflection points, and the premise.
THE AFTERCAST: Jay looks at the wants (external goals) and needs (internal emotional desires) of the characters in INFINITY WAR! $2-a-month supporters get access to this and ALL our Aftercasts. More content from The Story Geeks on The Story Geeks Aftercast!
