Thanks. Wonder why they’d chose such a loaded translation…
I normally try to avoid it. But the only theater around here that regularly shows original versions is comparatively small, and I wanted to see this one on the really big screen. I can always watch the original version later.
Yeah, me too. I guess the idea was that he got hit hard early on with a blade through the chest, so never was operating on full power, but then that just raises the question how an alien dude in full emo armor with a ginormous blade-ax-thing could just sneak up on Vision and Scarlet Witch (who in particular should have been looking straight at him)… I know it’s sort of a film convention that characters can’t see what’s not in the frame, but I thought this was sort of ridiculous. Reminds me of those horror movies were characters habitually get sneaked up on by giant, lumbering, growling beasts…
I think there was at least a brief flash of her red energy in those scenes, but I’m not totally sure. Still, even taking a hit that sends her flying that far should have turned her insides into mush, basically.
Yeah, it was obvious that they needed something to do for Black Widow—at the power level most of the combatants in this fight were at, she otherwise would have been completely sidelined.
I thought the Cap vs. Thanos bit was well done, though—you can see Thanos isn’t really putting effort into it, he almost seems a little disappointed, and then he just punches Cap out.
One thing I missed during the film—how did Bruce end up in the Hulkbuster armor? That completely passed me by…
They don’t say. If it found its way into Wakanda during Black Panther (I never saw it) or some other way, they don’t specify in IW.
I can get behind the idea that Heimdall and Loki are dead dead. But everyone who died in the great snappening isn’t dead dead. I don’t think that Gamora is dead dead either, because she was ‘traded’ for one of the stones.
The really sad thing is that Marvel does have a path forward where there will end up being no real consequences for the heroes. I will be pretty bitter if that does come to pass.
You seemed to think he cared about species and things going extinct. My point is he didn’t give a shit about any of that and the only creature in the universe he was sure wouldn’t die was himself.
I thought so, too, but why then did he say, in this movie, that he’s half human? (Something like, “I’m half human, so the half of me that’s dumb…”)
It didn’t - no mention of the Hulkbuster suit in BP. But remember, the Hulkbuster armor is in orbit, so Tony can call it wherever/whenever he needs it. Since Bruce is the co-creator of the Hulkbuster suit, it’s reasonable that he has the access codes for it, and that he’d be the one using it.
Back when I read the comics, people killed by the possessor of the Soul Stone went into the stone itself (there were 1000s of people “living” in it) - my bet is that Gamora is there, as well as everyone killed by the snap (yeah, half the universe’s sentients). This theory is bolstered by her appearing to Thanos at the end (as a child).
Actually yeah, that whole fight bugged me too. Vision and Scarlet Witch are the biggest powers in the Avengers, any henchmen that could give both of them trouble would wipe the floor with Cap Falcon and Black Widow. They are both infinity stone powered, they should be a match for Thanos.
Or they ma just have been keeping it at Avengers HQ in upstate NY. Remember they stopped there to pick up Rhodey (and tell off Secretary Ross) before heading to Wakanda?
True. Actually, given the reality of orbital mechanics (hah), there should be a bunch in orbit so there’s always one in range of an unanticipated Hulk event. So they could have had a platoon of them in Wakanda.
I figure that’s just talking about his parentage, and not about his"power" so to speak. Plus, it was a joke, so you can probably toss it for the most part.
We got a bunch of guy’s contracts running out. Coincidentally(?) they’re all the guys that lived. No way some of them don’t die by the end of the next movie. I bet Stark, Cap, and possibly Thor die at minimum.
Ego explains that his and Quill’s powers come from Ego’s original planet self. He warns that Quill’s power will be lost and that he will become mortal if Ego’s planet self is destroyed.
So, Quill is mortal now. He is without godlike powers. But if he were to do Ancenstry .com or 23 and Me, his genetic makeup would still be half Celestial. It’s like if someone had an Italian father and an English mother and the father died early and the mother moved with the baby to Saskatoon… the baby would lose the power to speak Italian but would still be half Italian.
“Kick names, take ass!”
Keep in mind this “he doesn’t kill unique individuals” thing is COMPLETELY speculative. I personally don’t believe it.
The best rationale I can come up with is that the Glaive he was stabbed with had special powers that neutralized him. But the movie didn’t provide any background on that.
Yeah, will be interesting to see if they try and pull off a comic style alternate reality/timeline in the movies. Part of me thinks they’ll lose the casual fan if they try that.
Vision basically said as much and Wanda said she thought that was impossible.
I don’t remember that line.
Another thing I liked. They never had Tony and Cap/Bucky together. Would have been lame to totally whitewash the end of Civil War.
After he got stabbed and Wanda temporarily got them away, he said “I can’t phase.”
I mean, I don’t want them to instantly be okay, but there’s no way either of them are dying without resolving that storyline.
