You sound like you disagree
Disagree with killing him off? Yeah. I wouldn't have done it.

I also disagree with Whedon's decision to kill QS off, especially after he admitted that he did it just because he needs a character to die so the movie will feel like a real war story, with casualty to illustrate the horrors of war. And Whedon did not really make QS's sacrifice really relevant to the plot of the movie either; it was done almost like it was obligatory and forced into the movie.
But also that killing someone doesn't work to clarify stakes in an action movie
Why is that a sad thing? Fox as well as the general audience should not care.
Fox did nothing wrong in this scenario. I'm all for flaming them when they deserve it but Fox are not wrong Marvel is. They had a temper tantrum after Fox beat them to the punch with QS so they erased their connection with each other.
Peititons are OK as a way to make the fans think they're taking action, but I'm pretty sure Marvel doesn't give two hoots about what the fans want. if Feige says he's not coming back, then he's not coming back, exdept maybe in flashbacks or dreams or something.
Yeah, I disagree with this. If Marvel didn't care about what the fans wanted, then Ironman wouldn't be so focused because of the fanbase. And, Kevin Fiege has bosses above him that can steam role any decision.
Problem is, QS' death didn't come across as an example of the tragic cost of war. Instead it felt like a cheap ploy to make the whole noisy mess mean something. The impression to me is, "What - they killed him already??"
It didn't help that he had QS say "I didn't see that coming" right after getting shot, which both ruined the emotional moment by playing his getting shot for laughs and indicated that his action to save Clint and the child was NOT self-sacrificial in any way. It wasn't a matter of him giving his life to save the boy and Clint - he didn't think he was going to get shot. It was an accident.
Given the characters powers, and how its shown multiple times what he can do, the end result is sadly disappointing... more whedon nonsense

Lol. I love comment that just says "How dare you Josh Whedon". After a cult-hit TV show and two huge Hollywood blockbusters under his belt, people still think his name is Josh.A Petition for Pietro
Look, there is a "Bring back Pietro- Petition" online.

I hope to god marvel doesn't bring back any dead characters going further just leave them dead, it takes away from the impact of their death in the first place. there also needs to be death to add to the stakes. then to appease everyone have a complete universe reboot by having everyone revived at the end of infinity war part 2 using the gauntlet, then they could show the rebooted characters and new actors.

Here's the thing... I didn't feel any impact when he died and infact the other Avengers barely even cared. Felt like how Cyclops was killed without care or setup.
The way I saw it, Quicksilver just pushed Hawkeye and the kid out of the way. In doing so, he was right in the midst of the bullets as they were probably already reaching Hawkeye and the kid. He can outrun a bullet, maybe, but not when it's an inch or less from his skin when he gets in front of it. He has been hit by a bullet beforewhen the cop shot him. He's not so fast as to be completely untouchable. And you can tell by the look on his face before he runs forward that he knows if he does this, he won't be surviving it. I didn't have a problem with it. Now, if he'd been shown before to be able to run through a stream of machine gun bullets while dodging them all, that would've been a different story, but that's not what was shown.
I agree. They didn't even show SW showing remorse afterward at the death of her brother, merely her outburst when she felt his death when it happened. QS's death seems more like an afterthought than a demonstration of the horrors of war.
Yeah, the whole showing him getting shot thing seemed to be solely to show that he could be hit by a bullet. Although I don't mind at all - his reaction was adorable.
I think they did show enough of SW's reaction. She clearly was overwhelmed in the moment it happened and afterwards went off to find Ultron and rip his heart out. He' a mechanical being and yet she was willing to die along with her brother to cause Ultron pain. To me that as enough of a reaction to know how Wanda felt.
It's the rest of the Avengers lack of commenting that got me, although I suppose the only one who would have been really effected was Hawkeye.
After we saw how the DOFP QS was able to change the trajectory of the bullets with his hand, the fact that AOU can't even get out of the way of the bullets seemed like a massive level down for me.
Yeah, the other Avengers should've paid a tribute to QS for saving Hawkeye and the kid. Even a moment of silent would be sufficient.

See for me
Though I didn't like him getting killed (and as I've said part of me hopes they'll find a way/reason to bring him back), I didn't mind that he was able to get hit. DOFP's being able to move fast enough that bullets were moving at a snail's pace/almost imperceptibly allowing him to move them, just seemed way too overpowered. IMO, AOU's QS not being *that* fast, helped ground him a bit more in reality, made him a more believable character in my eyes. It made him flawed (and a character should have flaws)
Just my opinion, of course - if it makes sense
