看了《复仇者联盟 3：无限战争》（Avengers: Infinity War）。
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
电影名字里 Infinity 按照我的理解，就是指的 Infinity Stones ，台湾译名叫《復仇者聯盟：無限之戰》。
不过本文要谈的是 a despot of intergalactic infamy ，我第一眼看成了 depot ，还想了一会儿这是什么鬼。
