Exactly.
As I said in the other thread: you don't kill the goose that laid the golden (billion + dollar) egg. Marvel would be absolutely suicidal to start killing off their franchises, many before they even get really started. Reel it in, peeps. Give these franchises *at least* a decade before you start trying to destroy them.

You guys can talk about how ridiculous it sounds all you want, I don't necessarily disagree. But what other story arc is SO popular that all the issues and GN is sold out and is apart of that collection posted other than Death of Cap? Add to the fact that logo looks exactly like Agent Rogers' uniform logo and it's hard not to believe.
Cap isn't the goose, Iron Man is. I think Tony will be killed in the beginning of A2 but revived somehow towards the end, but Cap ends up dead instead. Or something happens to him in TWS. We know he'll literally be teaming up with SHIELD in the film so it's not farfetched that he becomes Agent Rogers.. |

Lots of story arcs would be sold out, lol. And how is Death of Cap a part of that collection? Just b/c there's some Cap comics in there? Those Cap comics are both really early issues
Marvel isn't going to kill off any of the big four. |

Save the deaths for when you put a franchise to rest for a few years before recasting. Killing Cap off now would be dumb.

Rogers *is* Cap.
Anyway if you're seriously hoping for this I expect you will be disappointed.

Exactly. That was literally what the point of BuckyCap was. Rogers was such a singular force of good for so long that Bucky could never be Cap, no matter how long he wore the costume. But he'd do it anyway. You can't tell that story to movie audiences at this point. I feel like some people here just look at the plot points of these stories in a vacuum instead of considering what gives them weight and makes them matter |

In any case we might just be looking at a storyline where Cap poses dead and is acting as Agent Rogers, rather than a straight up adaptation of the storyline. |

I'm pretty sure the writers could make it work.

Thor could be an option though no? Hasn't he been killed and brought back in the comics?
You can have your drama and gravitas while still having your get out of jail card.

Thor was already "killed" and brought back in his first film though. Can't see them playing that card again. Whatever Feige and company have planned I think will have us all stunned by the end of Phase 2. Can't wait to take this ride!

MCU Cap isn't even out of his diapers yet, by contrast. He's already been "dead" for 70 years, and his "resurrection" is just now being celebrated by the world (America, anyway). Killing him off *again,* and for real this time, would have a resonance factor of exactly zero with movie audiences.

Marvel found its perfect Steve Rogers in Chris Evans and fought long and hard to convince him to play the role. In fact, they put a lot of effort in getting him into a six-picture deal after he refused to sign on for nine. I don't think they will pull the plug on this version of Captain America until the character's story has been explored in several more films.

If Thanos is the big bad for this movie, I assume that there will be some pretty insane hand to hand battles taking place. While I realize that no single avenger can really take on Thanos alone (or barely as a team i guess) but I just got caught up daydreaming about Hulk attempting to go toe to toe with him and getting brutally stomped. Thor as well but, we have yet to see Hulk in any REAL danger. I guess abomination came somewhat close but not really. All he really did was stun Hulk, stab him with his elbow bone and piss him off. Thanos on the other hand could kill him (right?) or at the very least, knock him the **** out. If/when we get Avengers face to face with the mad titan. Its just going to be crazy!

Yeah but I mean actually end the film on his death. While that scene in Thor was nicely done (and arguably amongst the best scenes in the entire MCU), I don't think anyone actually thought he was dead.

You lose a lot more in regard to the future of Marvel's films by killing any of these characters than you gain. And whatever you gain can be emulated with competent writing.

Thanos might obtain the Tesseract in Thor 2.

People can die in an Avengers/Thanos struggle--Odin or a GotG-introduced cosmic hero, for instance--but no way in h-e-double-hockey-sticks are they killing off any of the Big Four.

The two covers missing from El Mayimbe's scoop are related to Captain Marvel and Dr. Strange. That list of covers are all from Marvel Masterworks.

Best foot forward would be for Thanos to show up in Thor 2 and, in the process, kill Odin. I know Odin is stronger than Thanos, but Thanos is cunning and smart, so he'll find a way to win, leading to a battle between Thanos and the team in Avengers 2. Thanos vs. Thor + Belt of Strength would be a dream fight. Around 10-15 minutes would be beyond awesome.
