The subtitles here definitely said “head”.
Also, it’s a better line.
“Go for the head” is a thing.
“Go for the hand” isn’t; if that was what he meant, he should have said “gone for *my *hand.”
It make sense that Thor went for his chest, BTW. Thor is a soldier, and soldiers are trained to aim for center mass. An assassin would have aimed for the head.
And you have to feel bad for the races that have already gone through his culling, like Gamora’s. They’ve spent the past 20 years recovering from the horror of Thanos, kids are finally going to bed with full bellies, and boom, half of them disintegrate.
If only Loki had gotten Stormbreaker.
Stonebreaker. Stormbreaker is a different weapon altogether.
I’m reasonably certain (though I’m happy to be proven wrong) that the weapon in the film is called Stormbreaker (Hemsworth’s faux-Shakespearan accent aside), as it’s a canonical name in Marvel continuity, of a Mjolnir-like weapon that was forged by Eitri the Dwarf.
FWIW, the MCU Wikia site lists the weapon’s name as Stormbreaker.
It would be amusing if it all gets wrapped up in a post credits scene.
Thanos is sitting on his porch, and a figure approaches.
Just as you make out who it is, Captain Marvel smacks Thanos, and rips off the glove. “You can’t have this.”
She then resets everything.
If they could work out the rights, they could put it at the end of Deadpool 2, have everything done in the next couple weeks. Then Avengers 4 can focus on something else, and the upcoming movies don’t have to work around the universal cataclysm.
Though, more realistically, I think Gamora will play an important role. She’s not necessarily dead, she was sacrificed to the soul stone, and is still in Thanos’s head.
Saw it , loved it, not really phased by it being a clear “Part I” of a two-parter, which seems to have lots of panties in a bunch. All those Harry Potter/LoTR/SW movies have immunized me to needing immediate closure, it seems.
Thanos isn’t a eugenicist, that would imply he chose the fittest to live, where it’s stated to be essentially random.
You’re right. I was thinking of Stormbringer, Elric’s sword.
Loki with Stormbringer would be… not good.
I guess what I’m interested is, will the next movie result in a “do-over”, essentially erasing this whole film, or will it change one thing which resurrects all the people that died? I really hope it’s the latter.
I think it will get erased except for one sacrifice (I think Captain America who will step in for Iron Man in the last moment), but all the characters present will remember the “ash-ing” timeline, but no one else will.
Part I hated most/couldn’t suspend belief. Thor has the power of a neutron star go through him but all that happens is he gets a little singed.
The didn’t say so in the movie, but assuming that like that comics, with Odin (and Hela) dead, he basically has all of Odin’s power.
Yes thats the whole deal with the eye patch as well, to make you know he is now Odin. Which leads to another plot hole. In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor discovers he can use his lightning powers without having Mjolnir. Then he seemingly forgets that completely in Infinity War and needs his new axe to use them again.
Being that involved in the creation of it may even give him some special affinities for it.
Odin said that the hammer was to focus his power, not the source of it.
Just because you don’t need the focus to call up the power doesn’t mean that a focus doesn’t help you to focus your power.
From memory Thor didn’t use his lightning powers at all when he is fighting Thanos at the very beginning of the movie? Considering the lives of the Asgardians in the refugee ship were in danger from Thanos it seems odd Thor didn’t go all out and use lightning against Thanos. (eg plot hole)
As an aside, Loki doesn’t use his illusion powers either when facing Thanos, also rather odd.
If it makes you feel any better, I’m very familiar with Stormbreaker in the comics, and I still typoed the name as Stormbringer earlier in this thread. 
By the time we get to that ship - the fight is largely over and Thor is unconscious on the floor - we have no idea what he did (or didn’t do) when Thanos first arrived.
Damn it, I know the difference between *phased *and fazed. I blame Vision.
Thanos is sitting on his porch, looking content.
CUT TO: Scarlet Witch, weaving one of those illusions she makes people live through. Thanos is still sitting in that same pose, and he’s got that same look on his face; but there’s no porch, and it eventually becomes clear that the last couple of hours of the movie we watched were just, like, the movie he’s been slackjawedly watching.
(“How long until Thor gets here? I have a specific idea about where to hit this guy.”)
