Didn't read the whole thread, but anyone else notice the

RED WEDDING

parallels?

Hey Marvel audiences, you've just been GRRM'ed.

I have not seen the movie yet, but I am thinking that Dr. Strange is going to use the Time Stone to bring back those that died and they will fight Thanos over and over until they beat him. If Thanos or Dr. Strange already died just disregard this post.

Spoiler

Dr. Strange is dead, however, he ALSO went forward and watched the 'millions' plus endings that could play out (guess he did it and then reversed time doing it), and there was only 1 way to 'win,' I'm assuming which involves by first 'losing.'

Just saw it. B+

 

[BigFin]

The post credits scene is key.

You liked Iron Man 2 better then Iron Man 3?

I did.

Is that a bannable offense?

I just hated what they did with the Mandarin.

 

[DarthVedder]

Wow... Epic movie. Great story.

Spoiler

How can they kill so many of the new faces, including the box office champ Black Panther? I'm guessing that they will find a way to bring at least some of them back, but I hope they do it in a way that doesn't feel like a trick and doesn't cheapen this movie.

BTW, DC, this is how you make a world destroying villain. Thanos was great.

On this question, my earlier post:

Spoiler: Theory on the deaths

I'm almost certain what's going to happen in Avengers 4 is that the time stone is going to be used to reverse ONLY the deaths done with the "half the universe" snap, but NOT the deaths before that.

So that means Dr. Strange, Black Panther, and Spider-Man will be back for their movie sequels ---- but characters that died before the snap like Heimdall, Loki, and Vision really are permanently dead.

I'm not as sure about Gamora even though she was an earlier death, due to the unusual circumstances of her death as a sacrifice for the Mind Stone, due to the foreshadowing where Thanos sees a child version of her at the end, and because I think the movie studio will want her back because they would otherwise be missing a well-known female lead for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

I haven't seen the movie yet. Should I wait until next year and just watch them back to back?

Never tell...

Does what happen at the end of the movie happen in the comics??

 

[GNG]

I'd rather see Deadpool 2.

Yes, sort of...:

Spoiler

The Snap that wipes out half the universe is the most iconic scene from the most famous Thanos storyline. However, the heroes affected and leading the fight against Thanos were vastly different in the comics, with the superhero leads being Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer instead of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy as in the film.

 

[Clayton]

What a waste of an awesome fight scene with the villain to have such an awful script because MCU needs to add in....too lazy for spoiler tags.

Giving it a C+.

Spoiler

Other way around: Jim Starlin wrote the Snap (1991) almost a decade before George R. R. Martin wrote the Red Wedding (2000).

I hate how much of a tool they made Star Lord. Every time they need something stupid to happen its because 'Love' and you see that cliche plot device multiple times in a movie and it turns to crap.

The actual fight with the Aliens on Wakanda where Proxima Midnight, Big dude and Sneaky dude attacked with the alien swarm was dumb as hell. They had a bottleneck and ranged weapons. They dont need to Braveheart in there like idiots. They could just sat in a defensive position and wiped out all of the enemies at the entry point.

But seriously....Star Lord knocking off Mantis is epically stupid. Actually making it like the comics held the movie back. We didn't need another movie. They could've wrapped it up. The fight with Iron Man, Dr Strange, Thanos, Star Lord, Mantis and Drax was fantastic. There won't be a better way to end it. Nebula? GTFO. Captain Marvel? I get that Superwoman has lots of fans and is too big to leave out but there isnt a way thats going to be better. Adam Warlock could be cool.

I get why the critics are pretty split on this. I'm fairly geeky and I'm split on it.

Ahhh thanks

Spoiler

So them being whiped out is reffered to as the Snap? I don’t read comics so I’ve never heard of Warlock and while I know Silver Surfer didn’t know he had a group of his own.

Yep, the wipeout is called the Snap because it happens when Thanos snapped his fingers. Silver Surfer didn't have a permanent team of his own. It was a temporary wide coalition of most major Marvel heroes, including the Avengers, but what I meant was that the leaders of the coalition, and the characters with the largest parts in the storyline, were Warlock and Surfer. The Avengers had only a small role in the original comics storyline, and the Guardians of the Galaxy did not yet exist at that time.
