Ah, I thought he was going to tell Stark that he was going to die and thought better of it.
So the actual transfer wasn’t shown? That disappoints me.
They kind of show the gems sort of bonding with Stark’s suit gauntlet. It’s pretty brief. It was one of the best moments in the last part of the movie, just before he says he is Iron Man and snaps his fingers, dusting the invaders and Thanos.
Tony attacks Thanos, and it appears that he’s trying to pull the guantlet off Thanos’s hand. Then Thanos throws him off, says “I am… inevitable” and snaps his fingers. Nothing happens, he looks at the gauntlet, and there are no stones on it. It cuts to Tony - his glove is reshaping in that cool Iron Man way, creating sockets for the Infinity Stones which then find their way to the new sockets. He says “But I am Iron Man” and snaps his fingers.
So I think he didn’t switch gloves, he just somehow stole the stones off Thanos’s glove. We really have no idea why the Stones stay on the glove after all - in IW whenever Thanos gets a new one, he just holds it an inch over the gauntlet and it snaps into the socket as if pulled there. So there’s some tech in the gauntlet that has an affinity for Stones. Fanwank - when they killed Thanos at the beginning of Endgame, they took the Infinity Gauntlet back with them. Tony studied it’s tech to create his own IG. But it’s now based on Stark tech as well as Asgard/Dwarf tech. So when Tony touches it, he can take control of it, and turn off the tech that hold the Stones, then reconfigure his own glove to be an Infinity Gauntlet.
If it were shown - then the scene would have fallen apart and not been nearly as good.
The whole point of the scene was for Thanos (and the unspoiled audience) to think he had won again - that he was "inevitable’ - and then for our team - specifically Iron Man - to win in clever/unexpected manner.
Showing the actual switcheroo would have undermined the entire flow.,
I am female and until I read this I didn’t put an “all female” or “girl power” view on the Scarlet Witch, Nat, and Okoye fight in Infinity War.
However, when I saw the all female battle scene in Endgame, my first thought was “well, that was gratuitous”.
It’s barely even a fanwank. I think someone above describe Stark as paranoid and clever. One recurring theme with Stark is that he’s constantly updating his suits to account for his past failures.
Icing problem? Change the material.
Can’t survive an attack from lightning whip guy? Add capacitors to hold electricity
Thanos can dtroy your nano-tech shield? Add a forcefield projector
Can get Thanos’s glove off his hand? Make it so your suit can pull the stones off instead.
Now that they’ve gotten rid of Thanos and introduced alternate timelines and timey wimey shenanigans maybe the new big bad will be Kang the Conqueror.
Tony and Rocket make a Stark-Tech gauntlet to hold the stones. It held the stones through the second half of the movie (and resized to fit Hulk’s hand). But it was Stark tech, which makes moving the stones to his gauntlet seems plausible and the empty gauntlet snap was awesome.
That was the first thing I thought of too. It would only have made it better if they had someone take the Mr. Fantastic role of insulting Hulk to make him madder and pump up his strength.
On the whole I liked Professor Hulk in the movie, but would have liked to see at least a little bit of that old getting angrier / getting stronger vibe. Though the scene in New York where he’s fake raging was also a lot of fun.
And that’s what makes him Iron Man.
Made.
too soon dude - too soon.
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
Well, he certainly did travel time for the future of mankind.
Here’s another question regarding the infinity stones. When Hulk is getting the time stone we learn that the timelines will be thrown off if the infinity stones aren’t returned to the same time they were taken from. IIRC Captain America said something about clipping the branches when he was returning them. The question I have is why do these alternate timelines need the stones? In the main timeline the stones have been gone for five years since Thanos’s second snap when he destroyed them. If the main timeline can continue just fine without the stones, why do the alternate timelines need them?
Well, without the time stone they all get wiped out by Dormamu.
Right - its not that the timeline ‘needs them to stay straight’ - its that removing them from the ‘past of this timeline’ will fracture ‘this’ timeline.
SO - its fine that the stones were destroyed - that’s what was ‘meant to happen’. It’s a closed loop now - once cap returned them to ‘the moment’ they were taken (wonder how exact he needed to be and how he pulled that caper off)
I was surprised when Gwyneth showed up in a blue Iron-Man suit. I know they teased it earlier with the daughter in the tent.
I just figured she’d come out using her fiery power from Iron Man 3. Wonder what happened to that?
She’s as cold as ice, willing to sacrifice…
nah - I thought Tony explicitly said he could ‘cure’ that for her and then did (offscreen).
