It's been a week and spoilers are no longer necessary. Those who haven't seen the movie should avoid posts about Infinity War.

Poor carver...

Is he still on suicide watch? Because Thanos sure beat the anger out Hulk.

poor DCEU

You're mixing reality and fiction up, Sin.

Sounds like an alcohol withdrawal syndrome to me and I know quite something about this.

Did you guys see that Paltrow spoiled a small (but potentially important) part of Avengers 4? She said in an interview that Pepper is definitely pregnant.

Did anyone else read the conspiracies that Loki was actually impersonating Banner/Hulk?

Does this movie rank among your top 5 or 10 for best movies of the year?

I haven't seen it yet

Bada, I read it but i don't like it.

I don't think Loki is dead. The actor is still young and I don't see why they would kill off a character that is so popular. Hell, I think Marvel figured out how to good Thor movies; using supporting character. I'm sure Loki will be back in the next Thor.

The Nuul, I think the movie rank top 3 this year. In no order
Quiet Place
Ready Player One
Infinity War


It's definitely top 3 marvel movie for me.

Do you guys think we get more gods like odin in the next Avengers? Because Heimdal asked for the powers once more and he said AllfatherS (plural)

He probably meant All-Fathers that are busy being dead in Valhalla.

Probably not. MS pretty much threw everything out with Thor Ragnarok. Hela, Surtur, Fenrir, Odini, Loki, Valkaries..etc


I'm going to take a bet and say that the next Thor movie will take a bit of Siege. The Asgardian will be needing a new home. Odin already hinted where their new home would be (the place he died).

I was more thinking of Zeus and shit

All-Father term is exclusive to Ass Guard, so no.

Is there a list of whats coming out in the future for mcu?

Nvm... found what I was looking for

Originally posted by StiltmanFTW

Originally posted by Sin I AM

Yes and no.

All All-Fathers are skyfathers, but not all skyfathers are All-Fathers, as All-Fathers are Norse specific...

Of course, those terms get confused in comics, just like "Hell Lords" (Dormammu shouldn't count as one technically, but he still gets called that anyway).

Thor also asked All-Fathers for help... "give me strength" moment when he was opening that star gate thing. Still doubtful he was getting blessed by anyone outside of the Norse pantheon.

Odin was shown to be able to boost him from the afterlife.

the mantis plan was fine actually

Yeah,it was working, until Quill went berserker.

Not to mention, the movie has a built in HISHE counter, lol. Strange went through 14 million possible plans....and this was the only one that worked.

It was fine, but unnecessary when they could port his hand off. But PIS would prevent that ofcourse.

Unless it didn't work.

Basically, IW ended on the equivalent of 'see you later for next month's issue, true believers!'

As Strange said in his last words, it HAD to be that way. Is it going to pay off in some monumental prep feat for Strange? Maybe, maybe not.

But as of now, things are unfinished.

Well that should be obvious, unless you believe they will let entire franchises stay dead for good.

BTW have you read: A walk through hell?

Peter's death is still hilarious.

anyone elae think quill was acting ooc? and not just the gamora thing...

Quill made me angry. I know it's scipted but i'm stil angry at the character.

Quill is directly responsible for what happened to thr universe. That gauntlet was coming off.

Star Lord is a ****ing retard.

There, off my chest.

I feel like you guys are giving Quill an unnecessary amount of hate. Doc Strange said that he looked into thousands of realities and saw only one actual victory. Obviously, Quill's reaction to finding out about Gamora would come up in a very large amount of those realities. Do you guys think Stephen would let Quill stay if he knew what was necessary to win? Obviously, he could have told Peter about Gamora, but he didn't because he needed Quill to overreact at that time; because it's all part of his plan.

Also, what would they have done once the gauntlet was off? Why does it seem like nobody has thought about that?

TFW you realize Thanos with the gauntlet may get stalemated by Carol Danvers. ew.

Originally posted by Sin I AM

I hate the term, but Quill in a lot of ways is a "man child". He's immature, takes very little seriously, and spends the first two movies reacting to things instinctively rather than in any way rationally.

It makes sense, to me at least, that grief would drive him over the edge, especially with how much he'd come to care for Gamora.

Which again, may all be part of Stranges plan.

Even the actions of Quill. Remember, it was his plan originally. Maybe tweaked by the others.

Depends on how fixed futures are, but yeah I can't see Quills reactions being any different in the majority of the 14 million outcomes.

I might be attributing too much to the Time Stone. But until I see how it ends, we can't disregard anything.

Worse case scenario, it's all revealed to be a mind illusion from Mantis lol.

lol and i thought the discussion over comic minutiae was hilarious at times...

i thoroughly enjoyed the movie and agree that quill was portrayed as an idiot, but you knew they were going to get close to getting the gauntlet off at some point, and that they would need SOMETHING to happen to prevent it. it was set up pretty well i thought and i thought it was somewhat believable. i thought it was funny that mantis could get thanos to zone out like he did. dude had several gems and still got his a$$ mindraped by mantis. lol

Mantis was able to affect Ego, too...

She may lack the martial arts prowess her comic counterpart possesses, but her actual gimmick is crazy powerful.

EDIT: What Stilt said

Finally watched IW. This was bothering me, too. Why did Strange think it was necessary to basically give Thanos back his gauntlet (as he seemed like everything was going as they should be, and he gave up the gem even tho he said he would let Tony and Peter die if it came to it) when they were practically right about to remove it?

I'm thinking that only Thanos could use the current gauntlet, had they removed it he would have killed all of them trying to take it back and delaying him too long would cause too much loss in the Wakandan battle, leaving no heroes left when he does snap his fingers. Strange probably thought that wiping out the universe would strain and damage the gauntlet enough so that they could perhaps get enough heroes together and beat him in the final battle, take the gauntlet and bring the gems to the neutron star forge so that they could make another gauntlet and reverse what Thanos has done. Iunno, that's my thought anyway.

If the gauntlet is anything like its comic counterpart, then none of the combatants would be able to wield it properly.

Thanos may be the bad guy, but at least he has the brains and the willpower to use the gauntlet the way he intends to.

Anyone else could be driven crazy by it and do even more damage to the universe. Remember Nebula from comics?

----
So yeah, taking the IG away only sounds like a good plan. The thing is a little like the One Ring from LOTR, if you're not Sauron, it'll mess you up.

Warlock has wielded it properly in the comics. And I'm thinking him and Captain Marvel will be in the next IW. So them being able to wield the gauntlet along with Thor might be a solid possibility.

Some powerhouses are gonna be there for the sequel. Stormbreaker Thor, Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, potentially a vibranium+ Iron Man/War Machine, I'm feeling Hulk is gonna have a "reawakening" arc to address his impotence in IW w/c would make him even stronger, an emotionless Vision and maybe a new guardians lineup.

Quill could use the gauntlet and then die

Nah. Starlord is the GOAT

Originally posted by CosmicComet

He never was?

It was ok.

Lot I didn't like about it, thought the first was a lot better. Basically, I think the sum of its parts in individual movies are better, like Guardians of the Galaxy or Iron Man.

I mean, what actually happened? Same thing that happened in Revenge of the Fallen, with the length of the movie dedicated to this big bad.

Marvel movies are strong, because they're about characters. That sex offender Whedon was on the money about that, as was the Ronald D. Moore (Did he rape anyone yet? Give it time)

Avengers: IE was all about the epic. Stop Thanos. Get an axe. Protect Wakanda. It was one set piece after another.

Yeah, it had its character moments, but it wasn't character driven. The whole point of the movie was to set the the next movie, and that's just not something I need to watch again... Not like Iron Man and Stark getting started, or either of the Guardians movies, which is essentially Firefly. Ant Man and Wasp, that looks promising.

I realize I'm probably the only one on earth who feels this way, but this franchise is so strong, and people have been waiting so long for this. Kind of like Galactica Reimagined's finale.. It was terribly flawed, what with Kara Thrace being a magic angel that vanished behind Lee Adams's back, but most people overlooked that and were happy with what they got.

Only thing is, even that show delivered on the characters over plot ending... That's why the plot was nonsensical. It wasn't about how Kara Thrace survived being blown up in a ship, or about who the gods were, or what Earth is. It's about Bill Adama building his log cabin, and saying goodbye to his love before she dies of cancer. Moments like that.

None of those in IW. Just epic, stop the bad guy or people die.


So yeah, it was ok.

^ sounds like a fair review. About time someone who is not a rabid fanboy described the movie.

Interesting take. And I'm usually big on character over spectacle as well. The only reason I'd disagree with cdtm is that he's looking at the movie on its own. I see it as building off of each individual/team movie that preceded it. So the character elements are already in place. Like, Tony doesn't need more development. Everything that's happened to him has arguably led to this movie. Same with Thor, whose character arc is either complete, or close to it. Same with at least half a dozen other characters. Yes, it's big on set pieces. But if you look at it as the penultimate act of the arc that has run throughout ALL MCU movies, I'm not sure that criticism holds up as well.

So as long as you're willing to sit through dozens of hours of copy-paste swag movies for millenials you should find it less awful?

Fair trade I guess ermm

Lol, I'm not here to argue with taste. I take it you're not a fan of the MCU? The movies aren't high art and can follow a formula at times, yes, but nearly all are entertaining in some way imo, some of them wildly so.

But like, yeah, the understanding is that this is a shared universe, and the movies aren't truly stand-alone even if some can be watched without context. The idea is to watch all of them. If you disagree across the board about their quality, then why concern yourself with IW at all? This is the culmination of many of those preceding arcs. And if you didn't care for them, it's probably not for you.

/srug

Bentley has a baguette stuffed so deep inside him, he couldn't focus on the movie.

I could watch tom Holland's hamfisted death scene over and over.

So corny. Lol.

It was a tribute to Doctor Who.

Bentley is just hurt that Kang hasn't made it into the MCU.

Not sure if it was a tribute. There was a single line from DW. But it's also generic enough in this situation that I'm not sure it's an overt homage. I haven't seen any interviews suggesting it is, at least.

I guess it's the fact that this goes into full "Harry Potter 8" sequel territory that I don't like the move. Most Marvel movies can be sort of watched on their own without truly losing their essence, the fact that the MCU happens to be a huge movie continuity kind of only makes it worse.

Fair enough, and you might be right, but DW is still a small part of the TV universe, big as it is. If Tony had said "you're fired" to someone in IM2, is it automatically an Apprentice reference?

This seems speculative to me, is all I'm saying. I'd probably say something akin to that line too if I knew I were about to be wiped from existence.

Well then yeah, you have 99.99% of all other movies to enjoy. The MCU is quite explicitly building off of its various franchises, much in the same way that big comic events do. That's part of its appeal. Guess it's not for you, which is fine. Not everyone is going to respond in the same way.

I don't enjoy any movies, so your argument is terrible ahah

Movie crossovers have existed since forever and even within the MCU they have been done without building a capable self-sufficient product. Arguably IW brings everything that is wrong with straight plot sequels without bringing any of the benefits, since it'll barely affect these franchises. The worse of two worlds

Shills shilling movies, eat my anus hair.

i always thought they would kill many of the main characters and then when they were snapped back they could be played by different characters... since the did not dustify captain America I'm thinking not.


thanos should have less trouble maintain the gauntlet with even less heroes to contend with. still should have been more bads in the mix fighting for survival IMO. they'd probably have some kinda cheese where they have to convince him of 'another way' and he hands the gauntlet over
