Fun fact: Tom Holland improvved his death scene. He was only supposed to say "Mr Stark, I don't feel so good," then fade. Everything that happens after that is improv.
Liam should've waited until after this movie to leave the best friends so that his cannonical absence was that he disappeared along with the other half of the universe. Yup, shouldve faded away right in the middle of this friendcast.
Li-Li Mandragon I pictured all those characters standing in the position of the God Hand at the eclipse. Griffith traded in the Latex fetish people for some really foul villains. I mean... heroes.
Those Thanos hostage situations had to play out the way the did [Except the Dr. Strange and kinda Peter ones] because it would otherwise undo entire character arcs. Thor and Loki finally reconciled in Thor Ragnorok. Gamora and Nebula finally reconciled in GotG2. They would never sacrifice each other after that. But if Thanos showed up earlier, those hostage situations would play out vastly different.
And we see him kill Gamora who he truly loves (in his own twisted way) as a daughter. A big theme in the movie was SACRIFICE, and how the villain was willing to do it while the heroes were not. Thus the villain wins and the heroes lose. It's hamfisted as far as general cinema goes but for a comic book blockbuster movie it worked pretty well.
Yup. You've got ideological fanatics like Cap even spelling it out - "We don't trade lives." Good job, Cap, you just traded half of all life everywhere for the sake of not compromising your principles. I hope that's comforting.
I'm so damned happy pat remembers starlord blasting his father in GOTG VOL2 is totally in his character. Quills' been looking to smash those green cheeks for 2 movies. It's super easy to see on his pov why he'd pistol whip the hell out of thanos.
Also man this movie just further established that Asgardians are the Namekians of the MCU. A supposed super people who are stronger than humanity, who exist solely to be killed, conquered, and have their powers used to deus ex machina us.
Are you kidding? Namekains are biggest survivors in DBZ, they came back from having their planet wrecked three times compare that to Planet Vegeta which got turned into space dust and never came back. Asgardians are the Saiyans Plus the super Nameks can go giant and wreck everything, a technique they learned early while only one freaking Saiyan learned how to go SS before Goku.
Not only can strong Sayians make fake moons to force the transformation, even their tails regrow over time (as seen with Goku and Gohan). It doesn't matter whether Namekians can regenerate, if an Oozaru blasts their heads off. You just can't compare an unbelievably strong Namekian like Piccolo/Kami to a normal Namekian warrior, just like you can't compare Super Saiyan Goku to an average Saiyan warrior.
Actually, Rocket is still alive out of the Guardians. It's also funny how the Avengers are probably so used to weird things now that NOBODY is surprised or questions the presence of Rocket and Groot at Wakanda and take it all in stride, lol. *Groot* "I am Groot." *Steve* "I am Steve Rogers." ...or... *Rocket* Hey, how much for the gun? *Bucky* Gun's not for sale. *Rocket* Okay, how much for the arm? *Bucky* .... *Rocket* I'm getting that arm.
Well Bucky at the very least wasn't used to aliens yet. He even asked Steve if they are little green men from space (like they imagined back in WWII). I feel most people overlooked that line. Of course Bucky saw a guy who can turn into the size of an ant or freighter, a guy in a flying bucket with lasers, a magic machine that can phase through stuff and a woman that can move shit with her mind, so it's not that special anymore.
I read something recently that gave me perspective on how these guys feel the "Oh no he's just a kid" feeling for spiderman while I, the actors same age, see him as a regular guy. The reading I did was about children's books like coraline and how it terrifies adults but exhilarates children. It's cause the children see the character as one of them. When the character faces danger they're being brave and heroic. For older people they see someone too young and they're scared for them in the situation.
I said this joke when at the end of the movie, when my family where like, "Only one end credits scene?" and I'm still super happy with it: "Thanos deleted it."
Whilst Thanos's motive may not have been the most subtle or nuanced, it's nice to have a villain who ended up exactly where he wanted to be, watching the sunset over an ungrateful universe. The impact he had will probably mostly be undone in a year's time, but it's a welcome change from Marvels nothing villains (Along with Killmonger). Also Brolin fucking nailed it.
Josh Thompson I dont mean to jump on the Black Panther bandwagon but while Killmonger didnt live to see what he succeeded in he definitely left a lasting impression on the protagonist. He proved T,Challa and every single one of the previous Black Panthers wrong about isolationism and made T'Challa a better king for it. He is unique in the fact that even though he was an extremist he was absolutely right and his legacy actually made a difference.
Zemo succeeded in a way too where his goal was to turn the avengers against each other, have the government label the Avengers as criminals and have the public lose faith in them. The only thing he failed at really was committing suicide.
Zemo was a great villain, he didn't even need to fight the Avengers, he just used them against themselves. I feel like the only villain in phase 3 that has been bare bones was Hela, and she was still pretty enjoyable to watch, the whole "Marvel has bad movie villains" meme kind died with Phase 2 imo, as when you look at the competition, all DCEU villains except Zod from MoS are Malekith tier of bland and boring.
It's the same thing as the people who rag on Tony for his actions against Bucky in Civil War, you're trying to demonize basic human reactions to loss and grief.
Yeah. I gave it a thought, remembered that and although it's infuriating from a viewer's perspective, it's a very bad movie trope, but it's super in character.
Bushido Brown I was surprised that he pulled it. For a minute I thought it was Starlord doing the bubbles, but then I realized that Thanos was using the reality stone.
Whether you thought they succeeded or not, to me, the film's most definitive achievement was even attempting to make you relate to a character who is, by definition, trillions of times worse than Hitler.
0:58, you know you’re not wrong, the greatest part about Spider Man is the fact he’s just a kid, and one of the most relatable comic characters ever created.
superoxas64 show him grocery shopping fixing stuff around the house paying bills. he decides with all the work he did to the universe he does deserve a cheat day and will get that slice of chessecake.
Unless there's something in the lore to imply that the Infinity Stones apply some kind of passive effect, I'd like to point something out... Whenever Thanos is using the Stones, they glow. I can't recall a single time that wasn't the case. So with that being so, the Power Stone WASN'T glowing when Thanos defeated the Hulk in the opening scene of the movie. That means the Hulk has a LEGIT reason to be terrified because he was defeated WITHOUT using the Stones.
Stormbreaker is Beta Ray Bills hammer but the movie version the hammer/axe part is just Ultimate Thor's weapon. The groot handle is movie only. Pretty much a amalgamation of everything.
actually, the head of the "hammer" resembles the Ultimate comics Mjlonir, the name is StormBreaker which is a nod to Bill's hammer, AND...the handle made from Groot's arm resembles the haft of Jarlborne, Thor's Celestial/God killing axe that he wielded before he was worthy of the hammer. So they basically made it into a homage or an amalgam of all the different weapons he has wielded in comics besides the original Mjlonir.
Robscott5598 I believe the hammer was called Stormbringer but I wish they had a norse name for it. It's definitely the ultimate hammer and I expected Thor to build it in Ragnarok but this definitely made sense here. Also I do want to point out that wood has magical properties and is special in norse mythology especially I think, due to the world tree Yggdrasil. I didn't know about Jalborne or Thor having a hammer before Mjolnir. Cool stuff man 👍
My guess is Adam is going to bust out after all of this and is just like, "where is Thanos? I am the only being in existence that can stop him." Then Rocket is just like, "hey, naw, me, and a couple of humans dusted that giant purple thumb." Then Adams all like, "then I have no purpose..." and rocket says, "welcome to the club."
Tony Stark pretty much has to die in the next one because there would be absolutely no reason for Peter to work at the Daily Bugle if Stark stays around. The economy is obviously crushed due to the 50% conundrum, so he’s not gonna get any inheritance or anything from Tony except maybe some gadgets and a little baby lab.
My biggest question regarding the sequel is how will Thanos react to the gang trying to undo everything he did in this film? He literally said "when I'm done, I'll relax." And by the end, he might as well be drinking several martinis.
The snobbery of the enthnostate of wakanda isolating itself from the rest of the world suddenly has a ton of context and evidence as avengers, aliens, space rabbits and gods stomp all over the land stupidly.
I knew vision was gonna die, but I wanted him to really put up a fight. And instead he got his ass handed to him ALOT, yeah he fought back but he was just barley surviving. In age of Ultron they even said that he may be more powerful than all of us. God dammit.
Angel Olivas He was so nerfed in the movie. Take for example, his fight with Corvus Glaive in Scotland, I was baffled at why is he not utilizing his phasing and augmenting his body density powers?
It was over for Vision the moment he decided to phase through the surprise attack instead of dodging it. That single stab with Corvus Glaive's spear ruined all his chances. That spear is seriously OP. It cuts things on the molecular level and prevents them from reforming. The fact that Vision was even alive after that and able to fight is actually a testament to how powerful he is.
When you think about it, if Thanos was actually smart he would have snapped his fingers and reduced the birthrate by 50% and then nobody would even have noticed that he did anything.
I don't think people who hate starlord realize they would've lost even if they got the gauntlet off. Thanos barely used the gauntlet's power and was wiping the floor with them. I love that they had to lose this way in order to win later
...But without the space stone, Thanos is stuck on the rock with assholes running away with his magic glove that he used to get there. All they had to do after it was off was play hot potato until someone put the glove on and ported them out or wait until back up arrived.
I dont think any of them can use the glove (remember even using one stone can kill a man and even thanos has to adjust to the power each time he gains a new one). Strange may be able to use it somehow but other than that its pretty useless to the rest of the cast.
EbonMaster tbh i forgot about the ppl dying from the stones thing. What about big dick mcstar boy himself? He didnt die that one time, he coulda actually made use of himself.
I believe that not causing half the credits to wither away as they scrolled up was the greatest missed opportunity I have ever witnessed in cinematic history. That shit should have happened. It would have been glorious beyond all compare to imply that even the movie's very staff were not spared from Thanos' will!
Nick Cavanaugh I clapped when Tony showed up five minutes later pissed and warning Thanos not to pull that shit again. How fucking hype was this movie, man?
Luke Clark Idk if you've ever been to an Avengers screening in day 1 but it's always full of diehard fans and we ALWAYS clap and cheer at the hype moments. This screening isnt about casual viewers. It's about us. And the entire theatre shares in that merriment. It's a beautiful thing. You should experience it some day.
Luke Clark my whole audience clapped when Cap showed up and clapped louder when Thor joined the wakanda battle. I didn’t mind, it felt like a positive environment full of people excited about a movie. Better than the alternative
I find it ironic that when Disney bought out Marvel a lot of folks lost their shit, saying "Disney are going to make all the heroes cutesy-kiddy, Mickey-mouse versions! This is Bullshit!!!" And Disney went "We're going to make your kids watch Spider-man die!"
And this makes DC even worse in comparison. Lol A lot of people compared Marvel and DC with one being fun loving and the other being serious. But clearly, Marvel can do serious too, and they have even before Infinity War. They're just not so caught up in making things super edgy. They realized "Hey. We're still a comic universe with all sorts of wacky shit happening. Let's keep things fun at the very least." XD
And I'm loath to start a DC/Marvel flame war, but the most successful Batman movie of the last few years has been _Lego Batman_ and currently Warner Bros have been pushing _Teen Titans Go to the Movies_, both "cutesy-kiddy" cartoon versions of their IPs.
Jack Woodgate You're actually kind of right. Lol But I just meant in terms of movies. Marvel has kept the dignity of their characters but still finds a way to keep things light.
Ty Wilson Wouldn't stopping Starlord from beating up Thanos have saved the day also? If they stopped him, they would have had the glove off him, then destroyed Thanos.
I dont think a villain thinking he's right makes him a good villain, i think that when a villain makes you say "man, he's not wrong" is what makes him a great one. The thing about population and resources is as real as it gets, and of course i dont support the way he tries to fix it but i can at least understand why he reached that conclusion, because it makes perfect sense. Being evil of the sake or being evil is the worst and doing evil shit for "the greater good" without an idea that makes sense only makes it empty. This is why Makoto Shishio is my favorite villain of all fiction.
Pure evil villains can be interesting if they have a dimension to them that is cerebral and curious. Its why Chthon is much more interesting than Mephisto. Chthon is evil but also a scholar seeking knowledge and is fascinated by humans. Mephisto is just a camp Saturday morning baddie.
+suddenllybah It works both ways. If his plan was doubling resources, he'd have to keep doubling resources forever for his plan to work, as well as continually expanding space to fit those resources.
I think Thanos issue was that he so firmly believed in the righteousness of his cause and methods that he refuses to consider alternatives. If he was really that concerned about the finite nature of the universe he could fix that with a snap of his fingers.
Can he? Some people say Reality Stone, but the change in reality requires the Gem's presence. Then again, I don't know how having all the stones lets you dust half the population of the universe, so who knows what you can do with the things? Thanos apparently did, and whatever else he could do he thought wouldn't work.
The stones allow him to re-write reality as he saw fit. With a snap of his finger he could cure every disease, fill every starving belly and restore every depleted energy source. Thanos, I think, was mentally broken by the death of his people. In his mind wiping out the population is the "only" way now, because it was the "only" way *then*. Keep in mind, that he was cruising around the galaxy murdering half of a planet's population long before he got a hold of the gems so he definitely fixated on this idea being the best, most reasonable course of action.
Did you notice how merely killing half the life in the universe *badly damaged the gauntlet* ? So no, he cant do whatever he wants. The Gauntlet has limits.
Was that because of killing of half universe or from Thor slamming into with storm bringer (made of the same material as the gauntlet) casting off lightning at mach 3?
I completely forgot that Peters spider sense would be going apeshit at the end which makes much more sense as to why he didnt just go poof right away, maybe the actor guy who did the improv thought of that?
There's some guy in Soul Eater who's Patting over there being too many living people in the universe, and drools "everything would be so even and tidy if I killed everyone". But then he goes, "that's a kind of shitty thing to do, though, and I shouldn't just do whatever I want all the time."
I wonder why Nick Fury didn't bring in Punisher, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist for this shit. You can't tell me Fury didn't know they were around. And they are, albeit barely, connected to the movies, just like Agents of SHIELD.
Nick Fury was supposed to do what? Dude didn't even know what was going on until he fucking desintegrated lol Calling Captain Marvel was probably the best he could do.
i've gotta say: poor fucking scarlet witch, man. she lost her parents in a fuck up with a missle, she couldn't save her bro, and then to top it off she had to be the one to kill her lover (vision) to save the world only for thanos to bring him back and kill vis in front of her and then get dusted herself. that's fucking rough.
Whenever I see that thumbnail I always thought that Pat face in the middle was super wrinkly. Then I realized that's just splatter lines from the friendcast logo.
+Note's Scrotes Merking half the universe itself was enough to break the infinity gauntlet, infinite resources is another can of worms. Not to mention Thanos was convinced by the tragedy of Titan that it was the only way to achieve perfect balance in the Universe.
I actually found thanos to be very sympathetic it felt like what I thought killmonger was going to be. I was quite happy and am excited for the next avengers film
Plague Doctor D the thing is that they both have a goal of mass genocide, but one guy’s is based of pure hatred and the other a more “greater good” kind of thing.
Brian. Jr Montoya Killmonger was absolutely right that the system was evil and oppressive he just chose an extreme solution. There is a reason a lot of people agree with him tho. It's the idea that the world is too broken to fix so you gotta just erase and start fresh. The thing is Eric himself was kinda a broken person so he would of been just as much of a problem as ruler.
D'Mitri Long he had a point to be sure, but as you said, his methods and hatred were extreme, and he wouldn’t have made for either a good king, and would have wiped out millions of innocents. He had a point in his ideals, but it doesn’t excuse the means of attempts in achieving it and the stuff he did.
D'Mitri Long I would say the difference is that at I can tell that he is doing it as revenge and out of spite but thanos feels like he honestly believes every word he says with no ill will intended but he has (in his own mind) no other choice
The surviving asgardians were not on the half of the ship that was shown in the movie. That's the side that was killed, they just didn't Thor and Loki yet because Thanos wanted to Tesseract. They don't explain what happens to the other side of the ship, but don't assume it's just destroyed.
So how bout that ANN writer that said relatable and/or understandable villains are bad and Infinity War was an insult eh? Mustache twirling is better apparently.
Wait if strange portals when closed can cut limbs and assumingely stronger materials, why did strange not use it to cut the gauntlet off of Thanos? Unless they're certain limitations I'm not aware of.
Yeah, it was another of many cases where Marvel just does a cool looking thing without any thought to plot. Cutting his hand off didn't even affect the villain in any way. It just gives a nice visual while also adding questions that aren't answered.
Thanos skin is nigh invincible, unlike Cull Obsidian/Black Dwarf's. If he had been put through a portal he wouldn't have been cut apart, but just stuck for a bit until he pulls himself out.
5:28 I know there are metaphysical implications, but "in love with death, no really, the actual entity" isn't that much more compelling to me. At least in movie form
It would make no sense for this universe. In comics, it's fine - I can buy the Fantastic Four going to heaven and finding 'God' is Jack Kirby, I can buy Death and other abstract concepts being physical entities (like Neil Gaiman's version), but I think there has to be some suspension of disbelief in films and they've trod a very careful line in the MCU. Just going 'nah he loves Death and wants to impress her' isn't going to fly, saying 'my world was damned because there were too many and none willing to listen to me, now I know the only way to solve things is 'balance'' is horrifying but still way more compelling, IMO.
You know, I left the theater after seeing it, and I thought it was average. But after hearing the points you guys and the comments for this video made, i like it better now in hindsight
Ant Man and Hawkeye weren't fighting Thanos because it was too stressful for their families and Ant Man was under house arrest or something. Well, when Thanos won, their families are going to be under a ton of stress when half of them are dead.
The only really satisfying way for the MCU to continue with spin-off movies is that the people who are brought back can’t remember or know about what happened, and the big looking uh oh is that everyone who did survive knows about what happened but in some way can’t let the rest know about their previous death.
Here's my crazy theory: Thanos is dying from his Stormbreaker wound. That shit clearly did him in, and I don't think the Gauntlet has the power left to heal him. He was limping and shit in the last scene after all.
The moment he goes "Oh god I don't wanna die!"--that gets you hard.
- Woolie Madden 2018
They really do say some weird shit sometimes
Oh you!
"Hard with sadness."
- Matthew McMuscles immediately after
ChiliTomatoNoodle kids get it... -Woolie M
Apparently it was so bad, because the nano-machines in the suit were trying to repair him, extending his death
Can't believe all it took to defeat Thanos was a wooden gun.
R Fast yes. I am so ready for that to happen.
But he's not Magneto.
Michael_Davis the lie that the gun actually does something is what's gonna get him
You might even say that it's the ultimate nullifier...
I know right!
Fun fact: Tom Holland improvved his death scene. He was only supposed to say "Mr Stark, I don't feel so good," then fade. Everything that happens after that is improv.
Rielly Finger well he is damn good at improve
Your profile pic is funny.
That wasn't a fun fact at all...
Rielly Finger would you mind linking a source ?

Liam should've waited until after this movie to leave the best friends so that his cannonical absence was that he disappeared along with the other half of the universe. Yup, shouldve faded away right in the middle of this friendcast.

Dylan McDermott *Pat now sits next to Liam, Woolie and Matt's disintegrated corpses, a look of anguish and regret on his face.*
Grandark Zephyrum The Children of Thanos are basically the Ustabiaz led by Plague.That would explain the farm at the end.
Thanos must have closed his heart to half of the universe.
Mindshuffler 333 so the BOY grew up big.... And purple...
He's a good boy.
Imagine a God Of War game but replace Kratos with Thanos and Atreus with Gamora
Thanos, Krotos, Griffith and Kenny did nothing wrong.
Li-Li Mandragon I pictured all those characters standing in the position of the God Hand at the eclipse. Griffith traded in the Latex fetish people for some really foul villains.
I mean... heroes.
Those Thanos hostage situations had to play out the way the did [Except the Dr. Strange and kinda Peter ones] because it would otherwise undo entire character arcs.
Thor and Loki finally reconciled in Thor Ragnorok.
Gamora and Nebula finally reconciled in GotG2.
They would never sacrifice each other after that.
But if Thanos showed up earlier, those hostage situations would play out vastly different.
And we see him kill Gamora who he truly loves (in his own twisted way) as a daughter. A big theme in the movie was SACRIFICE, and how the villain was willing to do it while the heroes were not. Thus the villain wins and the heroes lose.
It's hamfisted as far as general cinema goes but for a comic book blockbuster movie it worked pretty well.
Yup. You've got ideological fanatics like Cap even spelling it out - "We don't trade lives."
Good job, Cap, you just traded half of all life everywhere for the sake of not compromising your principles. I hope that's comforting.
I'm so damned happy pat remembers starlord blasting his father in GOTG VOL2 is totally in his character. Quills' been looking to smash those green cheeks for 2 movies. It's super easy to see on his pov why he'd pistol whip the hell out of thanos.
Also man this movie just further established that Asgardians are the Namekians of the MCU. A supposed super people who are stronger than humanity, who exist solely to be killed, conquered, and have their powers used to deus ex machina us.
Except Namekians were never strong. Like... there is maybe 1 fighter every 3000 farmers. And those aren't even Krillin level.
Are you kidding? Namekains are biggest survivors in DBZ, they came back from having their planet wrecked three times compare that to Planet Vegeta which got turned into space dust and never came back. Asgardians are the Saiyans
Plus the super Nameks can go giant and wreck everything, a technique they learned early while only one freaking Saiyan learned how to go SS before Goku.
Not only can strong Sayians make fake moons to force the transformation, even their tails regrow over time (as seen with Goku and Gohan).
It doesn't matter whether Namekians can regenerate, if an Oozaru blasts their heads off.
You just can't compare an unbelievably strong Namekian like Piccolo/Kami to a normal Namekian warrior, just like you can't compare Super Saiyan Goku to an average Saiyan warrior.
MY ALIEN DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR ALIEN DAD
Actually, Rocket is still alive out of the Guardians.
It's also funny how the Avengers are probably so used to weird things now that NOBODY is surprised or questions the presence of Rocket and Groot at Wakanda and take it all in stride, lol.
*Groot* "I am Groot."
*Steve* "I am Steve Rogers."
...or...
*Rocket* Hey, how much for the gun?
*Bucky* Gun's not for sale.
*Rocket* Okay, how much for the arm?
*Bucky* ....
*Rocket* I'm getting that arm.
Well Bucky at the very least wasn't used to aliens yet. He even asked Steve if they are little green men from space (like they imagined back in WWII). I feel most people overlooked that line.
Of course Bucky saw a guy who can turn into the size of an ant or freighter, a guy in a flying bucket with lasers, a magic machine that can phase through stuff and a woman that can move shit with her mind, so it's not that special anymore.
I read something recently that gave me perspective on how these guys feel the "Oh no he's just a kid" feeling for spiderman while I, the actors same age, see him as a regular guy. The reading I did was about children's books like coraline and how it terrifies adults but exhilarates children. It's cause the children see the character as one of them. When the character faces danger they're being brave and heroic. For older people they see someone too young and they're scared for them in the situation.
I said this joke when at the end of the movie, when my family where like, "Only one end credits scene?" and I'm still super happy with it: "Thanos deleted it."
(applauds) Nicely done.
Thanks, but it's a pretty bad joke. lol
Not half as bad as it could have been
It would be super ballsy if they didn't have an after credits
You really shouldn’t be happy with that. In fact, boo on you sir.
Whilst Thanos's motive may not have been the most subtle or nuanced, it's nice to have a villain who ended up exactly where he wanted to be, watching the sunset over an ungrateful universe. The impact he had will probably mostly be undone in a year's time, but it's a welcome change from Marvels nothing villains (Along with Killmonger). Also Brolin fucking nailed it.
Josh Thompson I dont mean to jump on the Black Panther bandwagon but while Killmonger didnt live to see what he succeeded in he definitely left a lasting impression on the protagonist. He proved T,Challa and every single one of the previous Black Panthers wrong about isolationism and made T'Challa a better king for it. He is unique in the fact that even though he was an extremist he was absolutely right and his legacy actually made a difference.
Yeah, I can't help but agree with that. At the end of the day, Killmonger succeeded too. He didn't survive, but he got what he wanted.
Zemo succeeded in a way too where his goal was to turn the avengers against each other, have the government label the Avengers as criminals and have the public lose faith in them. The only thing he failed at really was committing suicide.
Josh Thompson (And Loki)
Zemo was a great villain, he didn't even need to fight the Avengers, he just used them against themselves. I feel like the only villain in phase 3 that has been bare bones was Hela, and she was still pretty enjoyable to watch, the whole "Marvel has bad movie villains" meme kind died with Phase 2 imo, as when you look at the competition, all DCEU villains except Zod from MoS are Malekith tier of bland and boring.
I didn’t even think about how spidey probably felt himself dying before it even happened and I yelled out loud “AHHHHHHH”
hes the only one turned to ash I really really felt bad for.
If she did not die then she's not dead -Matt McMuscles
"Yes... That's what... killing you means."
I wonder how Matt would feel if during season 2 of the punisher he just disappears
Matthew Triolo that would be awesome. it effects every marvel live action show.
kurt king i know right
Star Lord doesn't get the shaft, it's very in character
I should have waited about 30 seconds
Kyle Pietrusiewicz I appreciate that woolie walked it back super hard.
It's the same thing as the people who rag on Tony for his actions against Bucky in Civil War, you're trying to demonize basic human reactions to loss and grief.
Yeah. I gave it a thought, remembered that and although it's infuriating from a viewer's perspective, it's a very bad movie trope, but it's super in character.
Because he's a bad character, well then again goes without saying considering he's a mcu character
No, Star Lord doesn't count because he pulled the trigger! It took him a year to do it but he pulled that trigger!
Bushido Brown I was surprised that he pulled it. For a minute I thought it was Starlord doing the bubbles, but then I realized that Thanos was using the reality stone.
I honestly expected him to try and shoot Thanos instead. But he actually held up his promise. That was a really strong character moment.
Saddest Spider-Man death since the time when Joe Quesada brutally murdered him in one more day.
"Not fucking Black Panther! He's gonna be around."
Yeah, about that...
Ooof, yeah that comment aged like milk lol.
Thanos is an anti-spiral
NekoFAIA Row Row
Do the impossible see the invisible?
NekoFAIA That would explain the wedding scene in ttgl
He didn't bring balance to the force. He forced balance on everything. Get usurped Anakin.
Dude....Now that I think about it, the anti spirals were also all about population control. Holy shit. Lol
Whether you thought they succeeded or not, to me, the film's most definitive achievement was even attempting to make you relate to a character who is, by definition, trillions of times worse than Hitler.
I disagree!
0:58, you know you’re not wrong, the greatest part about Spider Man is the fact he’s just a kid, and one of the most relatable comic characters ever created.
Until he becomes a manchild because his writters are nostalgic manchildren that can't let go the past.
*OMD intensifies*
Brian. Jr Montoya Remember that time Spider-Man made a literal deal with Satan
slifer875 yeah, true.
Ty Wilson oh fuck I forgot all about that.....oh.......
What if....Avengers 4 is just titled...Marvel's THANOS
superoxas64 the first half is just him living an everyday life.
Mad Titan Thanos just wanted a quiet life
superoxas64 show him grocery shopping fixing stuff around the house paying bills. he decides with all the work he did to the universe he does deserve a cheat day and will get that slice of chessecake.
THE MAD TITAN feat. The Avengers
superoxas64 You say that but I would TOTALLY WATCH “MARVEL’S: THANOS”
19:06 aww man :(
I know man, I know.
I love that infinity war totally pulls a FF6 on us
Unless there's something in the lore to imply that the Infinity Stones apply some kind of passive effect, I'd like to point something out...
Whenever Thanos is using the Stones, they glow. I can't recall a single time that wasn't the case. So with that being so, the Power Stone WASN'T glowing when Thanos defeated the Hulk in the opening scene of the movie. That means the Hulk has a LEGIT reason to be terrified because he was defeated WITHOUT using the Stones.
Finally... After a thousand years, I can come back and watch this.
they call it stormbreaker but it looks way more like ultimate mjolnir.
Incarnate 3825 exactly what I was thinking. Thor's costume already looked like the ultimate version one. Now he has the hammer.... Uhh axe to match.
+ProNoobGamerDude
That type of weapon is called a "Maul" and that word has two definitions
Stormbreaker is Beta Ray Bills hammer but the movie version the hammer/axe part is just Ultimate Thor's weapon. The groot handle is movie only. Pretty much a amalgamation of everything.
actually, the head of the "hammer" resembles the Ultimate comics Mjlonir, the name is StormBreaker which is a nod to Bill's hammer, AND...the handle made from Groot's arm resembles the haft of Jarlborne, Thor's Celestial/God killing axe that he wielded before he was worthy of the hammer. So they basically made it into a homage or an amalgam of all the different weapons he has wielded in comics besides the original Mjlonir.
Robscott5598 I believe the hammer was called Stormbringer but I wish they had a norse name for it. It's definitely the ultimate hammer and I expected Thor to build it in Ragnarok but this definitely made sense here.
Also I do want to point out that wood has magical properties and is special in norse mythology especially I think, due to the world tree Yggdrasil.
I didn't know about Jalborne or Thor having a hammer before Mjolnir. Cool stuff man 👍
19:09 that shit didn’t age well
omg that starlord duality of outcomes was brilliant
"Not fucking Black Panther"
And I'm from the future and I am now very sad again...
I was just listening to this and when I heard him say that I looked him up to make sure and yup.
HE MUST WIN
My guess is Adam is going to bust out after all of this and is just like, "where is Thanos? I am the only being in existence that can stop him." Then Rocket is just like, "hey, naw, me, and a couple of humans dusted that giant purple thumb." Then Adams all like, "then I have no purpose..." and rocket says, "welcome to the club."
Or it'll be adam coming to get the Guardians Of The Galaxy like he was literally born to do
Tony Stark pretty much has to die in the next one because there would be absolutely no reason for Peter to work at the Daily Bugle if Stark stays around. The economy is obviously crushed due to the 50% conundrum, so he’s not gonna get any inheritance or anything from Tony except maybe some gadgets and a little baby lab.
My biggest question regarding the sequel is how will Thanos react to the gang trying to undo everything he did in this film? He literally said "when I'm done, I'll relax." And by the end, he might as well be drinking several martinis.
19:07 When asked who's going to remain dead: "Well not fucking Black Panther! He's gonna be around!"
😭😭😭
The snobbery of the enthnostate of wakanda isolating itself from the rest of the world suddenly has a ton of context and evidence as avengers, aliens, space rabbits and gods stomp all over the land stupidly.
All Okoye wanted was a Sarbucks or the Olympics.
Instead she got blood and dust.
I knew vision was gonna die, but I wanted him to really put up a fight. And instead he got his ass handed to him ALOT, yeah he fought back but he was just barley surviving. In age of Ultron they even said that he may be more powerful than all of us. God dammit.
Angel Olivas He was so nerfed in the movie. Take for example, his fight with Corvus Glaive in Scotland, I was baffled at why is he not utilizing his phasing and augmenting his body density powers?
Michael Gabriel Cruz Vision in the movie states that "He's stopping me from using my phasing"
Sean from The Game Room oh wuuuuut?! Missed that detail lmao
It was over for Vision the moment he decided to phase through the surprise attack instead of dodging it. That single stab with Corvus Glaive's spear ruined all his chances. That spear is seriously OP. It cuts things on the molecular level and prevents them from reforming. The fact that Vision was even alive after that and able to fight is actually a testament to how powerful he is.
Yourson Isold Even Proxima's spear was catched by a fucking mortal (Cap) lmao, it's not supposed to stop when she doesn't decide it to.
When you think about it, if Thanos was actually smart he would have snapped his fingers and reduced the birthrate by 50% and then nobody would even have noticed that he did anything.
I know that he just grows it back, but I really like what Groot does with his arm.
I don't think people who hate starlord realize they would've lost even if they got the gauntlet off. Thanos barely used the gauntlet's power and was wiping the floor with them. I love that they had to lose this way in order to win later
Devon Palmer or the fact that strange said he saw every way this plays out and they win in like 2. so what starlord did had to happen
...But without the space stone, Thanos is stuck on the rock with assholes running away with his magic glove that he used to get there. All they had to do after it was off was play hot potato until someone put the glove on and ported them out or wait until back up arrived.
I dont think any of them can use the glove (remember even using one stone can kill a man and even thanos has to adjust to the power each time he gains a new one). Strange may be able to use it somehow but other than that its pretty useless to the rest of the cast.
He seemed to beat Hulk without the gauntlet.
EbonMaster tbh i forgot about the ppl dying from the stones thing. What about big dick mcstar boy himself? He didnt die that one time, he coulda actually made use of himself.
Woolie thinks being in love with the personification of Death is more realistic than being concerned about overpopulation
I marked out pretty hard at Dr Strange using the Multi-form technique against Thanos!
"All the Guardians are dead."
Rocket was still alive though.
ShadowWolfRising at this point I could see their response being "yep, all the guardians are dead."
Wollie is so wrong. Thanos wanting to impress his girlfriend was always a shitty motive. His backstory in the movie is way better
SwankBones his motive makes sense. if his world became overpopulated with resources running out why wouldn't it happen everywhere
I know. Woolie is saying he doesnt like that motive and I am saying he is wrong.
SwankBones No, the comic book version is way cooler. Movie motive barely makes sense.
Not Overwatch how is he did it to fuck a chick much cooler.
kurt king Because it's fucking weird and fun.
I believe that not causing half the credits to wither away as they scrolled up was the greatest missed opportunity I have ever witnessed in cinematic history. That shit should have happened. It would have been glorious beyond all compare to imply that even the movie's very staff were not spared from Thanos' will!
I love that Red Skull has had to be this wraith for decades and decades, faced with his failure the whole time. A fitting punishment for a Nazi.
I’m with Woolie. Without Death, Thanos could just make everyone sterile with the stones instead. The specificity of murder makes no sense.
WHEN THANOS THREW THE MOON AT TONY I CLAPPED.... i am not ashamed
Nick Cavanaugh I clapped when Tony showed up five minutes later pissed and warning Thanos not to pull that shit again.
How fucking hype was this movie, man?
Luke Clark Idk if you've ever been to an Avengers screening in day 1 but it's always full of diehard fans and we ALWAYS clap and cheer at the hype moments. This screening isnt about casual viewers. It's about us. And the entire theatre shares in that merriment. It's a beautiful thing. You should experience it some day.
Luke Clark my whole audience clapped when Cap showed up and clapped louder when Thor joined the wakanda battle.
I didn’t mind, it felt like a positive environment full of people excited about a movie.
Better than the alternative
I knew they were gonna use a lot of fighting game terms in this spoilercast.
When don't they?
IW is someone playing Marvel and got to the final stage, and lost to the final boss with the boss winning with a magic pixel
Hearing Matt say that Black Panther is gonna be around is the saddest shit because of Chadwick dying
Matt's looking smol. In time he and Pat will be able to high five each other
My nephew couldn't stop crying over Peter's death. Parker not Quill. This was a heavy movie man...BUT I LOVED IT!
I find it ironic that when Disney bought out Marvel a lot of folks lost their shit, saying "Disney are going to make all the heroes cutesy-kiddy, Mickey-mouse versions! This is Bullshit!!!"
And Disney went "We're going to make your kids watch Spider-man die!"
And this makes DC even worse in comparison. Lol A lot of people compared Marvel and DC with one being fun loving and the other being serious. But clearly, Marvel can do serious too, and they have even before Infinity War. They're just not so caught up in making things super edgy. They realized "Hey. We're still a comic universe with all sorts of wacky shit happening. Let's keep things fun at the very least." XD
And I'm loath to start a DC/Marvel flame war, but the most successful Batman movie of the last few years has been _Lego Batman_ and currently Warner Bros have been pushing _Teen Titans Go to the Movies_, both "cutesy-kiddy" cartoon versions of their IPs.
Jack Woodgate You're actually kind of right. Lol But I just meant in terms of movies. Marvel has kept the dignity of their characters but still finds a way to keep things light.
Strange giving the time stone away was the only good move because it's one possible good end out of 13 million
Ty Wilson Wouldn't stopping Starlord from beating up Thanos have saved the day also? If they stopped him, they would have had the glove off him, then destroyed Thanos.
Tony has to survive.
Wakimaki He probably saw a version of that, but I'm guessing that probably wouldn't have worked out.
I dont think a villain thinking he's right makes him a good villain, i think that when a villain makes you say "man, he's not wrong" is what makes him a great one.
The thing about population and resources is as real as it gets, and of course i dont support the way he tries to fix it but i can at least understand why he reached that conclusion, because it makes perfect sense.
Being evil of the sake or being evil is the worst and doing evil shit for "the greater good" without an idea that makes sense only makes it empty.
This is why Makoto Shishio is my favorite villain of all fiction.
I'm kinda pissed that nobody points out the flaw in his plan.
Namely, he will always have to kill half forever for his plan to work.
Pure evil villains can be interesting if they have a dimension to them that is cerebral and curious.
Its why Chthon is much more interesting than Mephisto. Chthon is evil but also a scholar seeking knowledge and is fascinated by humans. Mephisto is just a camp Saturday morning baddie.
+suddenllybah It works both ways. If his plan was doubling resources, he'd have to keep doubling resources forever for his plan to work, as well as continually expanding space to fit those resources.
Thanos doesnt even use the power stone against the hulk
I choose to think that Thanos is space Plague of Gripes, going to his space farm.
I think Thanos issue was that he so firmly believed in the righteousness of his cause and methods that he refuses to consider alternatives. If he was really that concerned about the finite nature of the universe he could fix that with a snap of his fingers.
Can he? Some people say Reality Stone, but the change in reality requires the Gem's presence. Then again, I don't know how having all the stones lets you dust half the population of the universe, so who knows what you can do with the things? Thanos apparently did, and whatever else he could do he thought wouldn't work.
The stones allow him to re-write reality as he saw fit. With a snap of his finger he could cure every disease, fill every starving belly and restore every depleted energy source.
Thanos, I think, was mentally broken by the death of his people. In his mind wiping out the population is the "only" way now, because it was the "only" way *then*. Keep in mind, that he was cruising around the galaxy murdering half of a planet's population long before he got a hold of the gems so he definitely fixated on this idea being the best, most reasonable course of action.
Did you notice how merely killing half the life in the universe *badly damaged the gauntlet* ?
So no, he cant do whatever he wants. The Gauntlet has limits.
Was that because of killing of half universe or from Thor slamming into with storm bringer (made of the same material as the gauntlet) casting off lightning at mach 3?
Stormbreaker didn't even touch the gauntlet. It went straight into Thanos chest. The gauntlet was okay until the moment he snapped his fingers.
I completely forgot that Peters spider sense would be going apeshit at the end which makes much more sense as to why he didnt just go poof right away, maybe the actor guy who did the improv thought of that?
There's some guy in Soul Eater who's Patting over there being too many living people in the universe, and drools "everything would be so even and tidy if I killed everyone".
But then he goes, "that's a kind of shitty thing to do, though, and I shouldn't just do whatever I want all the time."
That Black Panther comment hurts now
i'm fine with what starlord did since Dr strange knew it was going to happen
Jack of All Vamps Absolutely. Notice how Strange doesn't tell him to calm down or do anything to restrain him?
Maybe, I doubt Star-Lord's anger factored in the all the possible futures. Also Strange was busy using his power to restraining Thanos himself.
Li-Li Mandragon I think Strange knew about the anger, because after he gives the stone to he tells Tony that, "This was the only way."
I wonder why Nick Fury didn't bring in Punisher, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist for this shit.
You can't tell me Fury didn't know they were around.
And they are, albeit barely, connected to the movies, just like Agents of SHIELD.
Nick Fury was supposed to do what? Dude didn't even know what was going on until he fucking desintegrated lol
Calling Captain Marvel was probably the best he could do.
M'baku is the hype man of the MCU.
Yay! Just got here barely started the video,....Can't wait to see all the things Pat gets horribly wrong.
i've gotta say: poor fucking scarlet witch, man. she lost her parents in a fuck up with a missle, she couldn't save her bro, and then to top it off she had to be the one to kill her lover (vision) to save the world only for thanos to bring him back and kill vis in front of her and then get dusted herself. that's fucking rough.
32:02 Matt. In the red-carpet event, he straight up says that the eye-patch was CG.
Rocket Raccoon is going to haft to pull his fucking weight for the next Guardians of the Galaxy movies if he's the only one left.
5:25 so a villain who wants to preserve the resources of the universe is more simplistic than a purple boi trying to get in a chicks pants?
There will never be an End Game spoiler cast. :(
Seriously, the Black Order reminded me of the Chosen from X-Com 2.
Shit, you right.
Whenever I see that thumbnail I always thought that Pat face in the middle was super wrinkly. Then I realized that's just splatter lines from the friendcast logo.
I just realized, Stark survived 1-on-1 with Thanos a *lot* longer than Hulk did. Does that mean current Ironman can take out Hulk?
Everyone can take out Hulk. Disney made him a wimp who gets beat by everyone so even someone like Hawkeye or Widow could take him.
Woolie, he went from planet to planet and saw it.
He could have used to gauntlet to make infinite resources, he's off the wall lmao.
+Note's Scrotes
Merking half the universe itself was enough to break the infinity gauntlet, infinite resources is another can of worms.
Not to mention Thanos was convinced by the tragedy of Titan that it was the only way to achieve perfect balance in the Universe.
"ant man would have been useful if" boy howdy would he have been
RIP rock dude from ragnarock and Meek :(
I actually found thanos to be very sympathetic it felt like what I thought killmonger was going to be. I was quite happy and am excited for the next avengers film
Plague Doctor D the thing is that they both have a goal of mass genocide, but one guy’s is based of pure hatred and the other a more “greater good” kind of thing.
Brian. Jr Montoya it’s not even genocide for thanos he erased everyone at random regardless of who they are
Brian. Jr Montoya Killmonger was absolutely right that the system was evil and oppressive he just chose an extreme solution. There is a reason a lot of people agree with him tho. It's the idea that the world is too broken to fix so you gotta just erase and start fresh. The thing is Eric himself was kinda a broken person so he would of been just as much of a problem as ruler.
D'Mitri Long he had a point to be sure, but as you said, his methods and hatred were extreme, and he wouldn’t have made for either a good king, and would have wiped out millions of innocents. He had a point in his ideals, but it doesn’t excuse the means of attempts in achieving it and the stuff he did.
D'Mitri Long I would say the difference is that at I can tell that he is doing it as revenge and out of spite but thanos feels like he honestly believes every word he says with no ill will intended but he has (in his own mind) no other choice
I really thought that when Thanos punched Cap he took his fucking head off.
The surviving asgardians were not on the half of the ship that was shown in the movie. That's the side that was killed, they just didn't Thor and Loki yet because Thanos wanted to Tesseract. They don't explain what happens to the other side of the ship, but don't assume it's just destroyed.
I love you guys
Fyi guys thanos's vacation house is actually in the Philippines or it's where it's shot in to say the least.
I just saw the movie (i know months later right) and the part with spidey was heartbreaking
Thanos snapped and super best friends were gone, reduced to fractions
They gave Spidey his spider-sense in Infinity war just to hit us in the spider-feels.
So how bout that ANN writer that said relatable and/or understandable villains are bad and Infinity War was an insult eh? Mustache twirling is better apparently.
StandingOnPluto who the fuck? That’s a thing that exists?
Who the fuck? Can I get a link to that? I need to see that bullshit.
Wait if strange portals when closed can cut limbs and assumingely stronger materials, why did strange not use it to cut the gauntlet off of Thanos? Unless they're certain limitations I'm not aware of.
Yeah, it was another of many cases where Marvel just does a cool looking thing without any thought to plot. Cutting his hand off didn't even affect the villain in any way. It just gives a nice visual while also adding questions that aren't answered.
Thanos skin is nigh invincible, unlike Cull Obsidian/Black Dwarf's. If he had been put through a portal he wouldn't have been cut apart, but just stuck for a bit until he pulls himself out.
Also Thanos being the leader of the Avengers is a real side story
5:28 I know there are metaphysical implications, but "in love with death, no really, the actual entity" isn't that much more compelling to me. At least in movie form
It would make no sense for this universe. In comics, it's fine - I can buy the Fantastic Four going to heaven and finding 'God' is Jack Kirby, I can buy Death and other abstract concepts being physical entities (like Neil Gaiman's version), but I think there has to be some suspension of disbelief in films and they've trod a very careful line in the MCU. Just going 'nah he loves Death and wants to impress her' isn't going to fly, saying 'my world was damned because there were too many and none willing to listen to me, now I know the only way to solve things is 'balance'' is horrifying but still way more compelling, IMO.
That moment you realize that the trailer for Infinity War was the first take and the movie was a Victory lap.
I wonder what thanos chin feels like
Unzip your pants and feel your balls.
too hairy
frogmorton
Just imagine that Thanos grew a beard then
You know, I left the theater after seeing it, and I thought it was average. But after hearing the points you guys and the comments for this video made, i like it better now in hindsight
i just watched infinity war and waited to watch/listen to this until after... now the movie ending is even sadder
Ant Man and Hawkeye weren't fighting Thanos because it was too stressful for their families and Ant Man was under house arrest or something. Well, when Thanos won, their families are going to be under a ton of stress when half of them are dead.
Surprised you guys don't like Thanos, he's literally the anti spiral from gurren lagann
How are you getting them not liking Thanos?
Mr. Stark I don't feel so good
The only really satisfying way for the MCU to continue with spin-off movies is that the people who are brought back can’t remember or know about what happened, and the big looking uh oh is that everyone who did survive knows about what happened but in some way can’t let the rest know about their previous death.
Here's my crazy theory: Thanos is dying from his Stormbreaker wound. That shit clearly did him in, and I don't think the Gauntlet has the power left to heal him. He was limping and shit in the last scene after all.
I watched this spoilercast before I seened Infinity Warz. It was fine. My short term memory is weak. I’m basically the guy from Momento.
I think they're gonna solve the problem with either some antman bullshit or Tony and Banner are gonna science a solution.
"That gets you hard every time"
And we're off to a good start already.
