It's a powerful statement that Thanos with all his power doesn't use it to force Death to love him. This means that even Thanos knows how wrong it is to force himself on a woman. Let that sink in.
motwaaagh Thanos's whole desire was for Death to love him and simply mind controlling her to wouldn't be that, just a simulation of his own making, so either he purposefully or subconsciously prevented himself. We have found the one thing more powerful than omnipotence..... THE FRIENDZONE
+motwaaagh Very true. Thanos himself describes it quite well in "Marvel Comics Presents" issue 109 when he comments "Love bound in chains has no value."
"So let's dig into 'The Infinity Gauntlet' and see how they pull it off!" It took me this long to realize how clever that phrasing was. I friggin love you, Linkara.
Wait, so Infinity Gauntlet can pretty much be summed up with Thanos wanted to impress and girl and thus decided to commit genocide. So basically the power of boners is the strongest power of them all. Good to know.
As a Canadian myself, the line 'Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you're ever seeing snow in May." made me laugh the hardest. XD
+Sambou Jaiteh Ah yes, Frederich Isak Showenhower AKA Freakshow's Reality Gauntlet. Great two part episode named Reality Trip,, possibly one of my favotire two parters
Sambou Jaiteh yeah that special was pretty dope. I remember i was excited for it cause the trailer for it showed that Danny's identity was revealed to the world
Ashuraman yeah that was one thing that disappointed me. that the change was undid by the end. I feel it could have been undid eventually but there could have been some good storylines made from it first
Wait thanos can make mouths disappear......we all know what that means right? I mean this must mean? We finally know why deadpool didn't have a mouth in x-men origins wolverine!
Undoing One More Day is easy. Just make Assistant Editor's Month canonical and return the Power Cosmic to Aunt May where it belongs. For that matter, give her back the Captain Universe powers while you're at it. Oh no, Aunt May's been shot by a gunman - who she then drags into low orbit, gives a severe scolding to, and delivers to the local police station with orders to confess his naughtiness. And then she goes off to have a stern word with Wilson Fisk.
Actual Lee, that Infinity Gauntlet is a bank that you can buy at comic book stores. In other words, there is no chance he can undo the damage that One More Day caused.
To be fair, you could make a better any superhero costume better despite how much little or big cash you have or to a low budget or high budget movie from an actual studio?😂
If you all think that Thanos and Death's relationship was nuts back then, wait till Deadpool comes into the picture. She won't talk to a giant purple god man who can tell Mephisto to STFU but she wants to swap saliva with an insane murderous Canadian who looks like a walking tumor, WTF?
@@dr.strangebat9397 I'm a little disappointed that didn't happen in Infinity War. If Endgame does involve time travel, maybe Loki can get Thanos and Hela together? XD
@@johnnygyro2295, Oh my goodness. YES!!!!!!!!! I want to see that happen! Then Thanos convince her to go with his idea, or talk about stuff relating to war and what not!
Considering that Avengers: Infinity War is coming out next year, if they do split it into two parts (guessing the second would be Infinity Gauntlet) I think they should end the first half on a massive cliffhanger with Thanos getting all six stones, snap his finger, show half of all life in the universe die and show the Avengers with stunned / horrified looks on their faces at what they just witnessed and have it fade to the credits.
That's what I love about Thanos; for all his god-like power and massive intellect, he has enormous hubris. It's his own dumb fault he has the Gems wrested from his hand. I really hope they keep that in the movies.
Ginger Rogue so true......but let's be honest, we know that they're going to stick with that route, while at the same time.............HE WILL KICK EVERYONE'S ASS LIKE A BADASS!!!!!!!
The reason Thanos got the gems so easily is the Elders, who had them, didn't really know what they had. Up until that point they were ALL referred to as Soul Gems. Even Thanos called them that in a previous storyline where he collected them. They were powerful, but no one really know how powerful. Each of the Elders tapped into the power to basically enhance their own, like a battery. It was only at the time of Thanos Quest that he realized what they were and how powerful they were. Since he knew what he was dealing with and the Elders didn't, he was able to take them.
The reason Warlock exists outside the natural laws of the universe, is because of Magus, his evil self of the future. Since Thanos is the champion of Death, Life (that I don't understand how she hasn't had her own personification in the Marvel Universe) needed one too. But Warlock wasn't powerful enough. So, in the laws of the universe, it was written that thanks to the Magus, Warlock was going to be sent into a traumatic travel through dimmensions in order to transform into the Magus, and reappear again in his native universe but in the past, creating a church of religious zealots that, even evil, was about holding life dear. Besides all the killing of heretics. Magus was powerful enough to face Thanos when the time was needed, but seemed the destiny of Warlock becoming Magus was completly unavoidable. So Thanos raised Gamora with the only intent of killing Magus, but failed. In his other plan, he made a deal with Warlock, and sent him in a metaphorical dimension where all his posible destinies where physical paths in the ground, and purged the one where he became the Magus. But that wasn't enough. He then needed to travel to the shorter one of this paths, or so, the one where he was going to die the sooner, and find himself at the end of his life after a confrontation with Thanos, and capture the soul of his future self on his soul gem, before turning back to his time. This death eventually appeared within the comics, and was the death from he resurrected in this event comic. So, yeah. He is out of the natural laws of the universe, because thanks to Thanos, he was able to avoid the unmutable laws of destiny, and not become the Magus. He shouldn't exist as Warlock. Oddly to say, apparently Warlock is Thanos only friend as their status now.
I think that has less to do with your english and more to do with how fucking nutty the whole Warlock/Magus/Thanos thing is. I've read it and it's hard to keep straight. Doesn't stop it from being one of my favorite things in comics, though.
How does someone even come up with in idea like this let alone pitch it to a group of people in a way they would understand it enough to create multiple books on it????
You know reading this out of context, this sounds weirdly like it was a bible story with things like literal paths in the ground and trying to avoid the impossible in different ways.
Unik Limbu that and also it's personality or character as deadpool or wade was more acceptable to actually dying, where as thanos seems more for killing everything else.
Jim Starlin probably named them after the aspects of the Id (one of the parts to Freud's structural model of the psyche), Eros (love) and Thanatos (death), after learning about it in psychology class in college.
CaptainMarvell92 Returns Even though MCU Thanos' motivation doesn't really rely on impressing Death as it does in the comics, they thankfully made him very compelling and even somewhat sympathetic despite doing terrible things in Avengers: Infinity War. Still, I think the worst version of Thanos I've ever seen was from the Avengers Assemble cartoon.
Brandon Lyon Bad writing. It's a night-and-day difference between how good Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was and how bad Avengers Assemble is which replaced EMH. It basically went from being its own thing with more-or-less faithfully adapting a lot of things from the comics with some inspiration from the MCU (although not to the point where it feels cheap) to just being a movie cash-in cartoon strictly for kids and to sell merchandise.
My favourite part was when Doctor Doom turned to the guy with God like powers and said that only death would stop him from stealing his gauntlet. The man has some guts.
Doctor Doom is one of those villains who would be willing to save the world...just as long as the other heroes grovel at his feet first. He loves to have his already gargantuan ego fuelled, and is fine to work with his enemies to keep that fuel coming. There are exceptions of course, as Doom is far from a fool, and will work with enemies to save the world if a world-ending threat pops in uninvited. That's the other thing about Doom; he sees everything he does as just, seeing every action of his a means to an end that will make the Earth pure...in his eyes, at least.
+Danny Buckle We need look no farther than Future Foundation Doom. He's just the best, capable of hating Richards, loving his daughter, and being on a team with him.
Wasn't there a what if comic that actually proved Doom right? Like, he beats the heroes and conquers the world, and winds up stopping world hunger and everything and generally making the world an awesome place?
Especially after a scene where a particular Super Hero said a small three word phrase that had many people hollering or on their feet or both at the same time.
Ok, I now get why Thanos hates Deadpool so much. Dude tried so hard and he still loses to the Lord of Broken Walls. I guess Death likes men with a sense of humor. Can't say I blame her. Also, poofing people dead is not as impressive a spectacle as running them over with a zamboni.
It just occured to me that a possible reason for why Death still refuses to talk to Thanos is because of HOW he completed his task. He made the people and animals disappear, like they never existed in the first place, except remembered by those left behind. That does not look like "killing" to me. Plus, Death has zombies as her servants apparently, so one may speculate that she wanted actual killing, with actual bodies left behind. Instead she got a situation like a girlfriend asking her boyfriend to clean up the carpet, and the bf throwing it out into the thrash.
movie idea: A ROMCOM where Thanos is trying to get with death. Mafisto is his wingman and gives him Advice and tips. Adam Warlock has a crush on her too so he gets pissed when Thanos, unknowingly tells him. So in return he calls up all the heroes and tells them that thanos is throwing a house party. So he can steal the infinity gauntlet that Thanos was going to give to her and win death over. Long story short, She picks Thanos even though Adam gives her the gauntlet because Thanos doesn't try to win her by material possesions. What do you think Linkara? I'll split the profits with ya
@@masonasaro2118 he's the first boyfriend that death breaks up with because she realizes he will never die. So deadpool, Thanos and Adam worlock are all at the party. The music stops playing and they all try to tell her how much she means to them but ultimately, She chooses Thanos.
So a couple of changes I can see between this comic and the movie: 1. It was Hulk who crashed into the Santum, not the Silver Surfer. 2. Thanos is doing this for death in the comics, but in the movie he has Death’s logic of “too much life”
Now that you mentioned Deadpool having thing for Death(and she kinda has thing for Deadpool, I think?), I have this image in my mind: the scene from _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ , where Eddie asks Jessica, "What you see in that guy?" and she answers, "He makes me laugh", but with Thanos' head on Eddie, Death's head on Jessica and on background Deadpool's head on Roger. My imagination can be _weird_ at times...
So, is the next one Flashpoint? I'm glad you at least mentioned how much Death prefers Deadpool. I can only imagine those 3 on a soap. "I did everything for you! I killed half the universe!" "Yeah, but he's funny and gets me tacos whenever I want."
Haven't really had time as of late to give my thoughts on Lewis's first "Event Comics Month" and I got to say, it was definitely the standout of 2017. I felt that he did a great job, I agree with most of his critiques in regard to each event, especially flashpoint, and that all the events he covered were entertaining. After all, "Crisis On infinite Earths", "Secret Wars", and "The Infinity Gauntlet" are all great epic classics that deserve to be spotlighted, even by a show that's mostly known for dealing with bad comics.
Ah, Thanos is a fun character. I've collected a majority of the comics and events he and Adam Warlock are featured in. It's cool to see the cosmic scale of their stories
Love how in the comic the snap is just vanishing in the blink of an eye, while the movie we really are scarred for life with the snap turning them to dust.
See, I always liked this form of Thanos more than the MCU one. I like that Thanos's entire deal is that he is driven by love and wants to have an equal partnership with a woman he loves. The idea that he thinks he's not good enough for her and has to keep one upping himself, and Mephisto's prodding and such as the devil on his shoulder works well. To me it's a very emotional, grounded thing. While it isn't logical per se, it makes that emotional sense of: "Who hasn't done something over the top for love?". By trying to strip away that aspect they made the character make a lot less sense to me. It opens me up to asking questions about the logistics and logic of the character and their motivation that I never actually asked during Infinity Gauntlet. I never asked things like: "Wait... it doesn't make sense that more things are alive than have ever died" while reading it. Because it wasn't really a big plot point. It's importance was "Once Death said something bugged them so I'll handle it to get in her good graces!". It's a very... domestic normal thing behind the "Snap" in the Comics. Like hearing your spouse complain about the rodent menace that is ruining their flower bed so you get a BB gun to drive them off. Or complaining about how shabby the yard looks so you get tools to edge the lawn and make it look nice and landscaped properly. Very normal dynamics, that are put into the realm of the God Like Power. Very... Greek Mythology as it were. Where the Gods and legendary heroes were very "Normal" in their feelings, motivations, and such. The actions however are different due to their scale. I can get why people read different things in it. And people who hadn't read the event just hear: "Thanos got the gems to get a shot at female personification of Death" and kind of thing it's more... squicky or "I treated death as my personal property that I own" or something. Because that was the reaction I usually got from people when I started telling them of the original Infinity Gauntlet and its plot. But this really is a classic to me and how I see cosmic scale stuff done right. The powers are amazing and beyond most figures in the story... but the motivations, the driving efforts, the way characters play off each other? It's the stuff of everyday life. They are entities beyond space and time as we know it... and they want the same things that Joe Smith from Cleveland wants. It appeals to me.
It's being rumored that in the movie version they'll be making Thanos obsessed with Hela as a way to tie the film continuity closer together. I gotta say, murdering half the universe to get a date with Cate Blanchett has to be the most sympathetic villain motivation ever put to film.
Ben Willis Thanos: "So... um Mr Laufeyson, I really like your daughter and I was wondering if you would get me an Infinity Stone so I could use it to impress her?"
Now, see, I didn't know about any of Marvel's cosmic stuff either when I read INFINITY GAUNTLET at the tender age of 9. Everyone but Spider-Man and the X-Men were brand new to me. But I fell head-over-heels in love with it, instilling in me an instant affection for things cosmic and beyond. (Look at my name, for crying out loud) It's also affected my own writing style and plot and character development. INFINITY GAUNTLET literally changed my life, and for that, I will always be grateful to Jim Starlin, George Pérez, Ron Lim, et al.
"The Infinity Gauntlet" stands alongside "Secret Wars 1984" as one of my favorite crossovers that Marvel has ever done. They both really show the scale of the cosmic threat that effects the heroes at play. Plus, they really give a sense of fun that I feel that more modern events lack.
As badass as it is that Thanos' undoing is that he never gets what he wants...boy does it deflate his character a giant amount to have his efforts be to impress some girl he has a crush on. It just makes his arc immensely comical instead of serious. The mountain of implications of it are awesome, Death's will to refuse Thanos chief among them, but I almost wanna apply Superboy Prime's whining to his efforts. Almost.
I don't know, why, but I believe, that the ending of "Infinite gauntlet" is near perfect for this type of story. Especially with Thanos realizing his mistakes. It feels more original, than main villain of the story dying or getting in-prisoned with words "I'll be back" or something. Anyway, great video. Can't wait for the next one.
Erm. He didn't achieve perfect form by turning up into a cocoon. He did it by absorbing twin cyborgs. And he never turned into a cocoon in DBZ. He revert back into larval form and the husk they found was his melded skin from a previous form. A more accurate comparison would be Aizen from Bleach where he turned into a cocoon and became a perfect being with butterfly wings.
Me as a couple councilor: Ok, Thanos you need to learn that it's Ok for a women to reject you. No matter what you do for them, they do not owe you a romantic relationship. And Lady Death, while you may not owe him a romantic relationship he still murdered half the universe for you which is what you asked him to do, so you need to show him some gratitude and express how you're feeling. Remember communication is the key.
"Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you've ever seen snow in May." Uhh, depending on where he spends most of his time when he's in the country (and since he's not in the country, it seems like an appropriate reaction) it can be unusual to say the least. Snow in early April a couple years ago where I live was pretty darn unusual. I also can't remember it *ever* snowing in May around here. Even if it has, it would be so rare that I'd likely react just like Wolverine.
14:37 SPOILERS Just in case anyone was wondering "how could Harry Styles play Josh Brolin's brother in the movies" well yeah they never really looked related in the comics either.
I'm pretty sure that to this date, as put in Jim Starlin more recent miniseries, Death and Thanos are together. So you know, kids. Don't give up on love.
@@philiphockenbury6563 "The Power of Love" "Video unavailable" I actually love this as a meta-commentary. People should start posting the link to that video whenever two people who don't belong together get together.
Reallyrandomcircle yet he was the guy who married Dracula and Shiklah (real thing that happened in the recent Deadpool event, the joke would have been funmy if mot for the fact that Marvel are constantly referencing and making jokes about One More Day, but won't get off their asses and actually do something about it)
I see why Marvel made the changes they did for Infinity war. They made the Earth Heroes much more involved in the story since here they're mostly just fodder with the event mostly being Adam, Thanos and Nebula's story. In Infinity War and Endgame the focus is more on the Thanos and the original MCU Avengers but specifically Tony, Steve and Thor
PikaTheProsperous It's actually one of the more interesting and subtle things that they play with in comics. Think about what it means to truly love death. Think about what it means to be spurned and rejected by Death. Much of the Marvel Cosmic stuff spins around fascinating little tidbits like that. And it does spill over into the movies. Note "to challenge them is to court Death". Not to mention Gamora's recent observation to Nebula that she does not think Thanos can actually be killed. I'm glad Linkara is exploring some of Marvel's cosmic stuff. This is one area that they do always seem to do better than D.C. Yeah the Green Lanterns are great. But D.C. Always seems to lack a bit in cosmic scale and scope. It's generally "superheroes in space" and lacks the grander scale that Marvel threw at the cosmic stuff since the early days of the FF.
"The SJW crowd would be permanently divided between those who think Death personified as a female is a direct and personal insult to the human vagina" Newsflash. In many cultures Death is female.
I love the fact that despite possessing the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos still can't make DEATH love him! I like to think its cause there is no love, lust, heart, or emotion based Infinity Gem! Or love is a force beyond even the Infinity Gauntlet's control!
Infinity Gauntlet is my favourite Marvel story. It's what made Thanos my favourite villain. It's even better when you start with his resurrection in Silver Surfer and follow all the Silver Surfer comics through the Gauntlet storyline. The Silver Surfer tie ins were essential reading. Also the Thanos Quest 2 book story of how he got all the stones was brilliant as well. Brilliant writing from Jim Stralin and Ron Marz, and top art by Ron Lim and George Perez it's a must read.
E Gart Oh God. Those guys who get girls by acting like a great guy who can't catch a break because girls apparently only like douchebags when in fact by getting girls because of pity points they are as big if not bigger douchebags than the douchebags they claim to hate.
It annoys me that so many think that Thanos' right armored glove is inherently special. It could just as easily been the Infinity Belt or Infinity Helmet. If he were in to that kind of thing they could have been the Infinity Piercings. Proof of how *not* special it is: note the pictures after Nebula took the Gauntlet - how Thanos is still wearing a gauntlet on his right hand, identical to the one on his left. If it were a unique item, he couldn't have replaced it.
22:28 "Including the giant head there." Head: "Show me what you got!!!!!" I could imagine Thanos reacting to that request. "Then I'll gladly show you!"
Very interesting watching this video after Infinity War/Endgame. I like seeing what they adapted, and what they at least referenced since they didn't have all the same assets for the film. I still think they should have kept Death's love as a motivation for Thanos in some fashion. Would have made more sense than what we got.
I've always wondered how death and time travel play into the same universe. It's established that souls, heaven, and hell all exist in this universe(and in most other universes involving time travel), so if someone dies and goes to one of those places, then the situation is reversed so they're still alive, then does God or Satan or whoever just go "Oh, never mind. You never actually died. Back you go." And what of these people who were alive but then died due to a change in the timeline. Are they aware of their previous death or do they show up wherever they were sent going "Wait, what just happened?" Or is there some sort of cosmic holding cell, where souls are sent until it's confirmed which timeline is the real one? Or does time travel actually transport the user into a parallel universe that follows their consequences, though they technically never actually caused them, and traveling back and reverting everything back to normal is some sort of "cosmic key" to unlock the path back to their universe(or a very similar universe with some changes due to their very presence in the past altering the future), and each universe has its own version of someone with their own soul, their own heaven and hell, and their own God and Satan? And does this negate free will, as everything would have to take the EXACT SAME path up to a point? If you think about it, Doc Brown's warning that a major time paradox could destroy the entire universe should trigger the second someone starts their time traveling.
If you can get them, I'd highly recommend reading the Silver Surfer issues prior to reading Infinity Gauntlet. It reintroduced a lot of these characters and concepts and explained them. Really Infinity Gauntlet is the wrap up to that Silver Surfer storyline, not a crossover in and of itself. Surfer even went inside the Soul Gem and met Warlock, Pip, and Gamora so you didn't have to go back and read the original Warlock series. As Linkara stated, Thanos and Warlock had been dead for well over a decade. They'd only appeared in reprints and Thanos' soul appeared in The Death of Captain Marvel.
Wait, but Death only told Thanos to wipe out half the *sentient* population of the universe. Why'd he kill half of all non-sentients, too?! Guess he just wanted to be thorough...
Well, the movie has at least this much going for it: they actually had the stones (heh) to kill off important people with the snap heard 'round the universe. This book, I don't even think any SUPPORTING CHARACTERS got dusted.
So, something I thought another commenter would post but didn't so here I am to say it, Deadpool was not married when the stuff with Death and Thanos originally went down. Shiklah was introduced and became DPs wife in 2014 whereas DP and death were a thing before that. The only time he was married during an instance with death was the 2015 mini Deadpool vs Thanos where the brush with death and Thanos resulting in the immortality curse was way back in 2002 in the "funeral for a freak" storyline
After reading as much as I can from the comics and the history of marvel, seeing the trailer and learning some story details, it appears that avengers infinity war is not just specifically adapting this story but rather the "Infinity" arc from a few years ago AND Infinity Gauntlet.
This epic story with so many heroes and grand scale... is at heart a love story about a guy trying to impress his love. That is awesome. I think it gives it a very personal touch among the bigness. Eternity is weird? More like AWESOME! Seeing Thanos killing all the heroes is honestly kind of scary. Wolverine's death really disturbed me to. Wonder if Nebula will defeat Thanos in the same way in the movie. Deadpool x Death forever! This looks like a great comic, I gotta check this out! I hope Infinity War will be awesome as well.
KingoftheGundam79 infinity war movie; good. Infinity war comic not as good but not bad if linkara’s review is to go by. Endgame: just as good if not better than infinity war movie
7:01 I just realized that one of Mephisto's lines in this opening speech is "My humble personage bows before your grandeur", a line that the Ebony Maw quoted word for word when Thanos adds the Space Stone to the Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War. Also, at 7:53 you've got another opening scene from Infinity War if you replace the Silver Surfer with Bruce Banner.
It's a powerful statement that Thanos with all his power doesn't use it to force Death to love him. This means that even Thanos knows how wrong it is to force himself on a woman. Let that sink in.
motwaaagh Thanos's whole desire was for Death to love him and simply mind controlling her to wouldn't be that, just a simulation of his own making, so either he purposefully or subconsciously prevented himself. We have found the one thing more powerful than omnipotence.....

+motwaaagh Very true. Thanos himself describes it quite well in "Marvel Comics Presents" issue 109 when he comments "Love bound in chains has no value."
motwaaagh But he didnt do it because it was wrong, he did it for himself, because it wouldnt fufil him.
Eamonn i' like to think Thanos heard about that and wiped that jackass out of existence
So he's the opposite of what happened in Avengers #200
If only Thanos had arranged those planets into a "Thanos&Death
"So let's dig into 'The Infinity Gauntlet' and see how they pull it off!"
It took me this long to realize how clever that phrasing was. I friggin love you, Linkara.
Goddamn good catch.
Wait, so Infinity Gauntlet can pretty much be summed up with Thanos wanted to impress and girl and thus decided to commit genocide. So basically the power of boners is the strongest power of them all. Good to know.
WarhammerGeek
At least until Nebula decided she was tired of Thanos jerking himself off.
As a Canadian myself, the line 'Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you're ever seeing snow in May." made me laugh the hardest. XD
So uh, did anyone remember when Danny Phantom borrowed the concept of "Infinity Gauntlet" for a pretty fun TV special?
+Sambou Jaiteh Ah yes, Frederich Isak Showenhower AKA Freakshow's Reality Gauntlet. Great two part episode named Reality Trip,, possibly one of my favotire two parters

We finally know why deadpool didn't have a mouth in x-men origins wolverine!
Cursed with immortality and to not have a mouth in his first film adaptation, brilliant! Lady Death will never love him now!
A bit of fridge brilliance to that is that there was a big grudge between the two of them at one stage.
Yeah in deadpool vs thanos! Piggy back rides are great between two rivals!
TBH I prefer that Deadpool over the comic one.
In Thanos no one can hear you scream.
Linkara got the infinity gauntlet! QUICK UNDO ONE MORE DAY
Gio A come on Giratina you've gotta have some kind of idea on how to undo it
Rhyperior Ranger dammit, I thought I was the first to do that comment
He doesn't want to undo One More Day, he wants them to LEARN from it, not ignore it.
Undoing One More Day is easy. Just make Assistant Editor's Month canonical and return the Power Cosmic to Aunt May where it belongs. For that matter, give her back the Captain Universe powers while you're at it. Oh no, Aunt May's been shot by a gunman - who she then drags into low orbit, gives a severe scolding to, and delivers to the local police station with orders to confess his naughtiness. And then she goes off to have a stern word with Wilson Fisk.
Actual Lee, that Infinity Gauntlet is a bank that you can buy at comic book stores. In other words, there is no chance he can undo the damage that One More Day caused.
Congratulations. Linkara has a better Docto Doom costume then Fan4stic...
Ehh, I thought it wasn't bad
To be fair, you could make a better any superhero costume better despite how much little or big cash you have or to a low budget or high budget movie from an actual studio?😂
If you all think that Thanos and Death's relationship was nuts back then, wait till Deadpool comes into the picture. She won't talk to a giant purple god man who can tell Mephisto to STFU but she wants to swap saliva with an insane murderous Canadian who looks like a walking tumor, WTF?
It's all about Personality
It really is.
I'd like to think that it's like Jessica Rabbit's reason for loving Roger, "He makes me laugh."
You know that actually sounds like a good reason.
He was hard to get. She kept trying and he kept avoiding her. So what was probably frustration, became interest.
Mephisto, worst wingman in the cosmos.
Adam Navigato I honestly think that Loki would be a better wingman than him...............
Well, he was trying to *sabotage* Thanos. Add in imprisoning Doom's mother's soul, and One More Day, and Mephisto is an utter dick.
@@dr.strangebat9397
I'm a little disappointed that didn't happen in Infinity War. If Endgame does involve time travel, maybe Loki can get Thanos and Hela together? XD
@@johnnygyro2295, Oh my goodness. YES!!!!!!!!! I want to see that happen! Then Thanos convince her to go with his idea, or talk about stuff relating to war and what not!
In Thanos annual(2018) Mephisto is actually a great wingman
Thanos is one step way from wearing a fedora and calling Death "M'Lady."
maybe a fedora would have turned her on idk
Jim Starlin predicted incels
Or saying "I'm your huckleberry."
I love how Linkara makes a One More Day joke literally just 10 seconds after Mephisto is introduced
iKillerZombie Wouldn't you?
The moment Mephisto appeared, I expected Linkara to say "insert One More Day reference here."
Does Mephisto love unbroken marriages
welp
Considering that Avengers: Infinity War is coming out next year, if they do split it into two parts (guessing the second would be Infinity Gauntlet) I think they should end the first half on a massive cliffhanger with Thanos getting all six stones, snap his finger, show half of all life in the universe die and show the Avengers with stunned / horrified looks on their faces at what they just witnessed and have it fade to the credits.
Wow, you almost perfectly called what would happen.
you called it!
How the...how did...FUCKIN' TIME TRAVELER HERE!!
God fuckin' damn it. I WISH I had this kind of bragging right.
Are you The Doctor? cause that is a crazy accurate prediction
That's what I love about Thanos; for all his god-like power and massive intellect, he has enormous hubris. It's his own dumb fault he has the Gems wrested from his hand. I really hope they keep that in the movies.
Ginger Rogue so true......but let's be honest, we know that they're going to stick with that route, while at the same time.............HE WILL KICK EVERYONE'S ASS LIKE A BADASS!!!!!!!
Not spoiling anything but now that Infinity War is out, it's very much certainly looking that way for part 2
Wow. This sure didn’t age well.
The reason Thanos got the gems so easily is the Elders, who had them, didn't really know what they had. Up until that point they were ALL referred to as Soul Gems. Even Thanos called them that in a previous storyline where he collected them. They were powerful, but no one really know how powerful. Each of the Elders tapped into the power to basically enhance their own, like a battery.
It was only at the time of Thanos Quest that he realized what they were and how powerful they were. Since he knew what he was dealing with and the Elders didn't, he was able to take them.
The reason Warlock exists outside the natural laws of the universe, is because of Magus, his evil self of the future. Since Thanos is the champion of Death, Life (that I don't understand how she hasn't had her own personification in the Marvel Universe) needed one too. But Warlock wasn't powerful enough. So, in the laws of the universe, it was written that thanks to the Magus, Warlock was going to be sent into a traumatic travel through dimmensions in order to transform into the Magus, and reappear again in his native universe but in the past, creating a church of religious zealots that, even evil, was about holding life dear. Besides all the killing of heretics.
Magus was powerful enough to face Thanos when the time was needed, but seemed the destiny of Warlock becoming Magus was completly unavoidable. So Thanos raised Gamora with the only intent of killing Magus, but failed. In his other plan, he made a deal with Warlock, and sent him in a metaphorical dimension where all his posible destinies where physical paths in the ground, and purged the one where he became the Magus. But that wasn't enough. He then needed to travel to the shorter one of this paths, or so, the one where he was going to die the sooner, and find himself at the end of his life after a confrontation with Thanos, and capture the soul of his future self on his soul gem, before turning back to his time. This death eventually appeared within the comics, and was the death from he resurrected in this event comic.
So, yeah. He is out of the natural laws of the universe, because thanks to Thanos, he was able to avoid the unmutable laws of destiny, and not become the Magus. He shouldn't exist as Warlock.
Oddly to say, apparently Warlock is Thanos only friend as their status now.
Sorry. English isn't mi native tongue, and the writing was always my weak spot.
Eternity is life and the universe as a whole.
I think that has less to do with your english and more to do with how fucking nutty the whole Warlock/Magus/Thanos thing is. I've read it and it's hard to keep straight. Doesn't stop it from being one of my favorite things in comics, though.
How does someone even come up with in idea like this let alone pitch it to a group of people in a way they would understand it enough to create multiple books on it????
You know reading this out of context, this sounds weirdly like it was a bible story with things like literal paths in the ground and trying to avoid the impossible in different ways.
Out of all of Linkara’s masked personalities, Doom is by far my favorite.
He’s also the best live action Doom. By far.
To be fair, it's a _very_ low bar to clear.
Man Thanos is such a tryhard. Deadpool knows the way into Death's heart.
Rob Wilson cancer and the ability to not die, clearly a chick magnet
Unik Limbu that and also it's personality or character as deadpool or wade was more acceptable to actually dying, where as thanos seems more for killing everything else.
His chaotic personality combined with a healing factor leads to all the right opportunities to brush with Death, flirt with Death, dance with Death...
Take Death out to dinner....
They did break up after Deadpool realized he is more a life person.
Thanos just wanted Death-senpai to notice him
Yeah, if you think about it, Thanos is just an omnipotent yandere
ahahaha
By the time he pulls his next biggest kill tally, Thanos Imperative, he eventually gets the hint Death just isn't into him....
I love the Infinity Gauntlet, it's so bad...
Sam McGuire you my man deserve a medal
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!
Unik Limbu agreed
good. bad. I'm the guy with the magic gun
Just don't get arrested for touching kids like the actor did
So Thanos is obsessed with death eh? No wonder his name is so similar to the Greek personification of death Thanatos
Which makes Eros an odd choice for his brother all things considered.
+Pensive Scarlet That does make SOME sense
Those names are because the titans from saturn are somewhat inspired by Greek mythology, their leader is Zeus's father Kronos
actually Eros is named that because he always sexually assaults woman like with She Hulk
Jim Starlin probably named them after the aspects of the Id (one of the parts to Freud's structural model of the psyche), Eros (love) and Thanatos (death), after learning about it in psychology class in college.
Infinity Gauntlet is the rare occasion when the inevitable reset is a core part of the plot. I love this story so, so much.
I just placed my order for the Infinity Gauntlet. I hope to enjoy it as much as you do
CaptainMarvell92 Returns Even though MCU Thanos' motivation doesn't really rely on impressing Death as it does in the comics, they thankfully made him very compelling and even somewhat sympathetic despite doing terrible things in Avengers: Infinity War. Still, I think the worst version of Thanos I've ever seen was from the Avengers Assemble cartoon.
Worse as in for all of the terrible things he’s done or worse as in bad writing?
Brandon Lyon Bad writing. It's a night-and-day difference between how good Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was and how bad Avengers Assemble is which replaced EMH. It basically went from being its own thing with more-or-less faithfully adapting a lot of things from the comics with some inspiration from the MCU (although not to the point where it feels cheap) to just being a movie cash-in cartoon strictly for kids and to sell merchandise.
My favourite part was when Doctor Doom turned to the guy with God like powers and said that only death would stop him from stealing his gauntlet. The man has some guts.
I freaking love Doom-Kara.
Danny Buckle Doom-Kara needs no praise! Everyone knows he is awsome!
Yes, but Doom-Kara's awesomeness must be unleashed to worlds transcending our own. ALL HAIL LORD DOOM-KARA!
Doctor Doom is one of those villains who would be willing to save the world...just as long as the other heroes grovel at his feet first. He loves to have his already gargantuan ego fuelled, and is fine to work with his enemies to keep that fuel coming. There are exceptions of course, as Doom is far from a fool, and will work with enemies to save the world if a world-ending threat pops in uninvited.
That's the other thing about Doom; he sees everything he does as just, seeing every action of his a means to an end that will make the Earth pure...in his eyes, at least.
+Danny Buckle We need look no farther than Future Foundation Doom. He's just the best, capable of hating Richards, loving his daughter, and being on a team with him.
Wasn't there a what if comic that actually proved Doom right? Like, he beats the heroes and conquers the world, and winds up stopping world hunger and everything and generally making the world an awesome place?
"Japan has sunken into the ocean"
No, not the anime!
They will build over it ( does that or Japan will become Atlantis)
Funnily enough, there is an anime called "Japan Sinks 2020."
The New Guy let’s hope it’s not accurate.
@@pygmalion0451 It was pretty good.
Now we know why no anime ever crosses over with Marvel.
I'm watching this review from the future. Avengers: Infinity War was great!
I CANNOT FIND THE DARN DISINTEGRATING TEXT. *Grumbles*
Ben Wasserman did you see drax at all in the movie i couldn't
Especially after a scene where a particular Super Hero said a small three word phrase that had many people hollering or on their feet or both at the same time.
I’m reading these comments from the future. I can’t take Thanos seriously anymore because of all the damn memes. I’m looking at you, Thanos Car.
@@slayer18203 probably the movie
Death being a woman makes sense to me, but mostly beacause I'm a french speaker and death is a feminine word in my language (la mort).
In spanish as well: La muerte.
And Italian: La Morte.
Just like in portuguese : A Morte
I'm sensing a theme here XD
Ok, I now get why Thanos hates Deadpool so much. Dude tried so hard and he still loses to the Lord of Broken Walls. I guess Death likes men with a sense of humor. Can't say I blame her. Also, poofing people dead is not as impressive a spectacle as running them over with a zamboni.
when you can kill a man with a Zamboni, you knw death's gonna be interested
@@SasukeUchiha-ix2yk Chicks dig zamboni murders.
It just occured to me that a possible reason for why Death still refuses to talk to Thanos is because of HOW he completed his task. He made the people and animals disappear, like they never existed in the first place, except remembered by those left behind. That does not look like "killing" to me. Plus, Death has zombies as her servants apparently, so one may speculate that she wanted actual killing, with actual bodies left behind. Instead she got a situation like a girlfriend asking her boyfriend to clean up the carpet, and the bf throwing it out into the thrash.
When it comes to His character all you need to remember is _Adam Warlock=Space Jesus_
movie idea: A ROMCOM where Thanos is trying to get with death. Mafisto is his wingman and gives him Advice and tips. Adam Warlock has a crush on her too so he gets pissed when Thanos, unknowingly tells him. So in return he calls up all the heroes and tells them that thanos is throwing a house party. So he can steal the infinity gauntlet that Thanos was going to give to her and win death over. Long story short, She picks Thanos even though Adam gives her the gauntlet because Thanos doesn't try to win her by material possesions. What do you think Linkara? I'll split the profits with ya
Dark Core Thanks for spoiling the plot of Infinity War 2.
Deadpool HAS to be the asshole death initially falls for but is dumped in favor of thanos
@@masonasaro2118 he's the first boyfriend that death breaks up with because she realizes he will never die. So deadpool, Thanos and Adam worlock are all at the party. The music stops playing and they all try to tell her how much she means to them but ultimately, She chooses Thanos.
So a couple of changes I can see between this comic and the movie:
1. It was Hulk who crashed into the Santum, not the Silver Surfer.
2. Thanos is doing this for death in the comics, but in the movie he has Death’s logic of “too much life”
Death AKA...Raven...
"This is the last time I fill in for someone's job I meet at a poetry slam."
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that Death resembled Raven
who appear first in comics?
Death appeared in 1973 and Raven 1980.
Now a days death is a hot lady with no cloak.
"Welp, time to spread some manure." *begins writing Marville*
Most of these Marville comics are sooooo stupid. Hehehehe..
For yoooooooooooooooooou.
Oh come on Mister S, Thanos isn't THAT messed up. Mephisto, well i'll grant that one
Now that you mentioned Deadpool having thing for Death(and she kinda has thing for Deadpool, I think?), I have this image in my mind: the scene from _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ , where Eddie asks Jessica, "What you see in that guy?" and she answers, "He makes me laugh", but with Thanos' head on Eddie, Death's head on Jessica and on background Deadpool's head on Roger.
My imagination can be _weird_ at times...
YOU HAD ONE JOB, SILVER SURFER!!!
All you had to do was grab the damn Gauntlet, CJ.
So, is the next one Flashpoint? I'm glad you at least mentioned how much Death prefers Deadpool. I can only imagine those 3 on a soap. "I did everything for you! I killed half the universe!" "Yeah, but he's funny and gets me tacos whenever I want."
Haven't really had time as of late to give my thoughts on Lewis's first "Event Comics Month" and I got to say, it was definitely the standout of 2017. I felt that he did a great job, I agree with most of his critiques in regard to each event, especially flashpoint, and that all the events he covered were entertaining. After all, "Crisis On infinite Earths", "Secret Wars", and "The Infinity Gauntlet" are all great epic classics that deserve to be spotlighted, even by a show that's mostly known for dealing with bad comics.
Thumbs up if you're rewatching Linkara's videos on this and "Infinity War" now that the film's out.
Ah, Thanos is a fun character. I've collected a majority of the comics and events he and Adam Warlock are featured in. It's cool to see the cosmic scale of their stories
Love how in the comic the snap is just vanishing in the blink of an eye, while the movie we really are scarred for life with the snap turning them to dust.
It the visual style dust would have been a pain to draw for all the ones and a simple they are gone would have looked lame on screen
''Killing half of the universe may impress women at first, but you need a winning personality for them to stay''. Infinity War in a nutshell.
Hey Linkara, it’s the future! Infinity War was incredible!!
Thanos to Death "Notice me sempai notice me"
N7Vakarian (Deadpool voice) NO, none of that, shame on you!
He needs to start playing Let It Die if he wants to get Death's attention.
@@amytanner4931 (in Deadpool voice) HAVE YOU WATCHED ANIME!!!!!!!???
See, I always liked this form of Thanos more than the MCU one. I like that Thanos's entire deal is that he is driven by love and wants to have an equal partnership with a woman he loves. The idea that he thinks he's not good enough for her and has to keep one upping himself, and Mephisto's prodding and such as the devil on his shoulder works well. To me it's a very emotional, grounded thing. While it isn't logical per se, it makes that emotional sense of: "Who hasn't done something over the top for love?".
By trying to strip away that aspect they made the character make a lot less sense to me. It opens me up to asking questions about the logistics and logic of the character and their motivation that I never actually asked during Infinity Gauntlet. I never asked things like: "Wait... it doesn't make sense that more things are alive than have ever died" while reading it. Because it wasn't really a big plot point. It's importance was "Once Death said something bugged them so I'll handle it to get in her good graces!". It's a very... domestic normal thing behind the "Snap" in the Comics. Like hearing your spouse complain about the rodent menace that is ruining their flower bed so you get a BB gun to drive them off. Or complaining about how shabby the yard looks so you get tools to edge the lawn and make it look nice and landscaped properly. Very normal dynamics, that are put into the realm of the God Like Power. Very... Greek Mythology as it were. Where the Gods and legendary heroes were very "Normal" in their feelings, motivations, and such. The actions however are different due to their scale.
I can get why people read different things in it. And people who hadn't read the event just hear: "Thanos got the gems to get a shot at female personification of Death" and kind of thing it's more... squicky or "I treated death as my personal property that I own" or something. Because that was the reaction I usually got from people when I started telling them of the original Infinity Gauntlet and its plot.
But this really is a classic to me and how I see cosmic scale stuff done right. The powers are amazing and beyond most figures in the story... but the motivations, the driving efforts, the way characters play off each other? It's the stuff of everyday life. They are entities beyond space and time as we know it... and they want the same things that Joe Smith from Cleveland wants. It appeals to me.
It's being rumored that in the movie version they'll be making Thanos obsessed with Hela as a way to tie the film continuity closer together. I gotta say, murdering half the universe to get a date with Cate Blanchett has to be the most sympathetic villain motivation ever put to film.
Ben Willis that'd be weird, considering he pretty much sent Loki to get him a stone so he could impress his daughter
Ben Willis
Thanos: "So... um Mr Laufeyson, I really like your daughter and I was wondering if you would get me an Infinity Stone so I could use it to impress her?"
Ben Willis Actually they're changing so that he's "restoring balance to the universe". Which is dumb.
+crazyduplicate Not to be that guy, but wasn't that Death's supposed reason for it?
Eh too late, Hela turns out in Thor Ragnarok is Loki and Thor's sister in the MCU. And well, Spoil Alert I guess, she is already dead.
Now, see, I didn't know about any of Marvel's cosmic stuff either when I read INFINITY GAUNTLET at the tender age of 9. Everyone but Spider-Man and the X-Men were brand new to me. But I fell head-over-heels in love with it, instilling in me an instant affection for things cosmic and beyond. (Look at my name, for crying out loud) It's also affected my own writing style and plot and character development. INFINITY GAUNTLET literally changed my life, and for that, I will always be grateful to Jim Starlin, George Pérez, Ron Lim, et al.
Hi, Linkara from the past! It's your fan from *THE FUTURE!* And in *THE FUTURE* I watched Infinity War in theaters! It's great! :D
"The Infinity Gauntlet" stands alongside "Secret Wars 1984" as one of my favorite crossovers that Marvel has ever done. They both really show the scale of the cosmic threat that effects the heroes at play. Plus, they really give a sense of fun that I feel that more modern events lack.
As badass as it is that Thanos' undoing is that he never gets what he wants...boy does it deflate his character a giant amount to have his efforts be to impress some girl he has a crush on. It just makes his arc immensely comical instead of serious.
The mountain of implications of it are awesome, Death's will to refuse Thanos chief among them, but I almost wanna apply Superboy Prime's whining to his efforts. Almost.
it's fun going back to this episodes now that infinity war and endgame are out.
I don't know, why, but I believe, that the ending of "Infinite gauntlet" is near perfect for this type of story. Especially with Thanos realizing his mistakes. It feels more original, than main villain of the story dying or getting in-prisoned with words "I'll be back" or something.
Anyway, great video. Can't wait for the next one.
Artificial Perfect Human who achieves his form with a cocoon...
Cell? Is that you?
lol I was wondering if someone would make that reference
Considering Dragon Ball already had a Superman reference, it only makes sense it'd reference other comics.
Mister Perfect Cell!
Erm. He didn't achieve perfect form by turning up into a cocoon. He did it by absorbing twin cyborgs.
And he never turned into a cocoon in DBZ. He revert back into larval form and the husk they found was his melded skin from a previous form.
A more accurate comparison would be Aizen from Bleach where he turned into a cocoon and became a perfect being with butterfly wings.
I was hoping you'd add that great captain America speech about how someone will always be there to stand up to thanos
Me as a couple councilor: Ok, Thanos you need to learn that it's Ok for a women to reject you. No matter what you do for them, they do not owe you a romantic relationship. And Lady Death, while you may not owe him a romantic relationship he still murdered half the universe for you which is what you asked him to do, so you need to show him some gratitude and express how you're feeling. Remember communication is the key.
"Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you've ever seen snow in May."
Uhh, depending on where he spends most of his time when he's in the country (and since he's not in the country, it seems like an appropriate reaction) it can be unusual to say the least. Snow in early April a couple years ago where I live was pretty darn unusual. I also can't remember it *ever* snowing in May around here. Even if it has, it would be so rare that I'd likely react just like Wolverine.
Death Servant: Titan, Mistress Death finds your boasts empty and your bravado distasteful.
Thanos: GET LOST, SQUIDWARD!!
14:37
SPOILERS
Just in case anyone was wondering "how could Harry Styles play Josh Brolin's brother in the movies" well yeah they never really looked related in the comics either.
Infinity Gauntlet is my favorite Marvel Event. It's so sad how Marvel forget writing Villians vs Heroes event. I mostly blame Bendis and Civil War.
I'm pretty sure that to this date, as put in Jim Starlin more recent miniseries, Death and Thanos are together.
So you know, kids. Don't give up on love.

Reallyrandomcircle yet he was the guy who married Dracula and Shiklah (real thing that happened in the recent Deadpool event, the joke would have been funmy if mot for the fact that Marvel are constantly referencing and making jokes about One More Day, but won't get off their asses and actually do something about it)
@@AlexSeverinski I'd rather threaten Marvel not with a lawsuit, but with my fist to their faces.
I see why Marvel made the changes they did for Infinity war. They made the Earth Heroes much more involved in the story since here they're mostly just fodder with the event mostly being Adam, Thanos and Nebula's story. In Infinity War and Endgame the focus is more on the Thanos and the original MCU Avengers but specifically Tony, Steve and Thor
DC changing their continuity? So, Tuesday.
Wednesday.
Just because that's the traditional day for comicbook releases. :3
Justin Arthur dc: the day we changed continuity was the greatest day in your life, but for us... it was wednesday.
Holy *FUCK*, they do the fingersnap in the _beginning?_ That's fucking awesome!
So, Death is a woman and Thanos wants to marry her? Fitting since some men think marriage is a death sentance.
PikaTheProsperous Oooohhhh! Shots fired!
Yeah, and Deadpool has the hots for her. Or, had. Continuity is weird.
PikaTheProsperous It's actually one of the more interesting and subtle things that they play with in comics. Think about what it means to truly love death. Think about what it means to be spurned and rejected by Death. Much of the Marvel Cosmic stuff spins around fascinating little tidbits like that. And it does spill over into the movies. Note "to challenge them is to court Death". Not to mention Gamora's recent observation to Nebula that she does not think Thanos can actually be killed.
I'm glad Linkara is exploring some of Marvel's cosmic stuff. This is one area that they do always seem to do better than D.C. Yeah the Green Lanterns are great. But D.C. Always seems to lack a bit in cosmic scale and scope. It's generally "superheroes in space" and lacks the grander scale that Marvel threw at the cosmic stuff since the early days of the FF.
Thanos, the Emo Titan!
"The SJW crowd would be permanently divided between those who think Death
personified as a female is a direct and personal insult to the human
vagina"
Newsflash. In many cultures Death is female.
I love the fact that despite possessing the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos still can't make DEATH love him! I like to think its cause there is no love, lust, heart, or emotion based Infinity Gem! Or love is a force beyond even the Infinity Gauntlet's control!

Do you remember the mess with Holokara? There's no way Linkara wants to go through a moral quandary like that again!
Naw, Secret Empire was actually good.
Clearly Adam Warlock is aware of the International Dibs Protocol
Infinity Gauntlet is my favourite Marvel story. It's what made Thanos my favourite villain. It's even better when you start with his resurrection in Silver Surfer and follow all the Silver Surfer comics through the Gauntlet storyline. The Silver Surfer tie ins were essential reading. Also the Thanos Quest 2 book story of how he got all the stones was brilliant as well. Brilliant writing from Jim Stralin and Ron Marz, and top art by Ron Lim and George Perez it's a must read.
Well, at least he isn't a "nice guy".
E Gart Oh God. Those guys who get girls by acting like a great guy who can't catch a break because girls apparently only like douchebags when in fact by getting girls because of pity points they are as big if not bigger douchebags than the douchebags they claim to hate.
I come from the future and I must say Avengers Infinity War was emotional impactful.
Watching this in April 2018, just a week before Avengers: Infinity War comes out. Hello Linkara of the past! Glad you noticed us future watchers
It annoys me that so many think that Thanos' right armored glove is inherently special. It could just as easily been the Infinity Belt or Infinity Helmet. If he were in to that kind of thing they could have been the Infinity Piercings.
Proof of how *not* special it is: note the pictures after Nebula took the Gauntlet - how Thanos is still wearing a gauntlet on his right hand, identical to the one on his left. If it were a unique item, he couldn't have replaced it.
This definitely puts a smile on my face.
22:28
"Including the giant head there."
Head: "Show me what you got!!!!!"
I could imagine Thanos reacting to that request.
"Then I'll gladly show you!"
This is a story where Mephisto is a decent element. He doesn’t ruin it. Basically keep him away from Spider-Man and more around Thanos.
Very interesting watching this video after Infinity War/Endgame. I like seeing what they adapted, and what they at least referenced since they didn't have all the same assets for the film. I still think they should have kept Death's love as a motivation for Thanos in some fashion. Would have made more sense than what we got.
Starlin did have this habit of making his own characters way more important than else in the Infinity crossovers.
I've always wondered how death and time travel play into the same universe. It's established that souls, heaven, and hell all exist in this universe(and in most other universes involving time travel), so if someone dies and goes to one of those places, then the situation is reversed so they're still alive, then does God or Satan or whoever just go "Oh, never mind. You never actually died. Back you go." And what of these people who were alive but then died due to a change in the timeline. Are they aware of their previous death or do they show up wherever they were sent going "Wait, what just happened?" Or is there some sort of cosmic holding cell, where souls are sent until it's confirmed which timeline is the real one? Or does time travel actually transport the user into a parallel universe that follows their consequences, though they technically never actually caused them, and traveling back and reverting everything back to normal is some sort of "cosmic key" to unlock the path back to their universe(or a very similar universe with some changes due to their very presence in the past altering the future), and each universe has its own version of someone with their own soul, their own heaven and hell, and their own God and Satan? And does this negate free will, as everything would have to take the EXACT SAME path up to a point?
If you think about it, Doc Brown's warning that a major time paradox could destroy the entire universe should trigger the second someone starts their time traveling.
If you can get them, I'd highly recommend reading the Silver Surfer issues prior to reading Infinity Gauntlet. It reintroduced a lot of these characters and concepts and explained them. Really Infinity Gauntlet is the wrap up to that Silver Surfer storyline, not a crossover in and of itself. Surfer even went inside the Soul Gem and met Warlock, Pip, and Gamora so you didn't have to go back and read the original Warlock series. As Linkara stated, Thanos and Warlock had been dead for well over a decade. They'd only appeared in reprints and Thanos' soul appeared in The Death of Captain Marvel.
Hello past linkara! The movie was just as good as the hype made it out to be!
Wait, but Death only told Thanos to wipe out half the *sentient* population of the universe. Why'd he kill half of all non-sentients, too?! Guess he just wanted to be thorough...
You'd think the guy with the claws that he routinely uses to cut through steel doors would aim for Thanos's LEFT ARM and not his CHEST!!
Well, the movie has at least this much going for it: they actually had the stones (heh) to kill off important people with the snap heard 'round the universe. This book, I don't even think any SUPPORTING CHARACTERS got dusted.
Not every hero was present.
Certainly, nothing has ever gone wrong for Doom when he tries to seize God-like power!
So, something I thought another commenter would post but didn't so here I am to say it, Deadpool was not married when the stuff with Death and Thanos originally went down. Shiklah was introduced and became DPs wife in 2014 whereas DP and death were a thing before that. The only time he was married during an instance with death was the 2015 mini Deadpool vs Thanos where the brush with death and Thanos resulting in the immortality curse was way back in 2002 in the "funeral for a freak" storyline
"I WAS A MAN!" *punches while wearing the Infinity Guantlet*
Mephisto: Hey! I was building that for like 25 hours!

After reading as much as I can from the comics and the history of marvel, seeing the trailer and learning some story details, it appears that avengers infinity war is not just specifically adapting this story but rather the "Infinity" arc from a few years ago AND Infinity Gauntlet.
just got back from watching infinity war; i'm surprised how close they kept certain elements and moments from the comic!
Every time he reads from a trade, he says "this is a trade, so no looking at the covers...", and then he looks at the covers.
This epic story with so many heroes and grand scale... is at heart a love story about a guy trying to impress his love.
That is awesome. I think it gives it a very personal touch among the bigness.
Eternity is weird? More like AWESOME!
Seeing Thanos killing all the heroes is honestly kind of scary. Wolverine's death really disturbed me to.
Wonder if Nebula will defeat Thanos in the same way in the movie.
Deadpool x Death forever!
This looks like a great comic, I gotta check this out! I hope Infinity War will be awesome as well.
I just got the comic and it is really damn good.
KingoftheGundam79 infinity war movie; good.
Infinity war comic not as good but not bad if linkara’s review is to go by.
Endgame: just as good if not better than infinity war movie
7:01 I just realized that one of Mephisto's lines in this opening speech is "My humble personage bows before your grandeur", a line that the Ebony Maw quoted word for word when Thanos adds the Space Stone to the Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War. Also, at 7:53 you've got another opening scene from Infinity War if you replace the Silver Surfer with Bruce Banner.
There was no need to invent a word Linkara. The correct word has existed for decades and it is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!.
