Infinity War Avengers: Infinity War SPOILER User Review Thread

Why doesn't he just create food and resources so that people's demand can be satisfied ? It'd be much more ethical. He doesn't even have to kill half the universe IMO.

It could be beyond the powers of the Gauntlet. This isn't the comics where it makes you basically omnipotent, the finger snap clearly damaged the Gauntlet quite a bit so it seems like he was reaching the very limits of its capability.

 

[Spider-Fan]

He’s mine too, I was actually a bit gutted how under-utilised he was in the film but he’s had a ton of focus in other movies. So it’s fine aslong as they don’t do it again to him in Avengers 4.

Totally agree a brilliant moment.

They won't. Russos already said guys with less screen time in IW will get more in A4. I think Cap will be one of the big players of A4.

 

[javonstokess]

So...is the Collector dead? I didn't see a body.

Because he’s mad?

I’d like to think that this is brought up in Avengers 4 as a plot point. As much as Thanos claims to be doing this for balance etc, once he get the powers of a God, he still thinks in a very limited way.

It’s be great if someone like Stark or Cap point out that Thanos gained the powers to do anything, he still lacks the imagination to do so.
I think that’d add an even deeper layer to Thanos as a character in the MCU.

I am quite clearly more a DC guy than a Marvel guy, so my prior knowledge of Thor before the MCU is lacking. The first two films bored me, but Ragnarok turned me 180 around on the character. I always thought Cap was the Superman of The Avengers, but it’s clear that Thor actually is. Once they gave him a personality, he became my favourite Marvel hero. And he easily has the best fist-pump moments in the entire series. That moment he appears in Wakanda to save everybody else’s arse is what they should have accomplished with Superman in Justice League...

This THis This this thiss

Some people have the wrong idea of Thanos (at least in regard to Gamora). Thanos was not killing people in this because he is incapable of love. Actually it is the exact opposite: Thanos loves the universe. He wants to save it. He continually praises his opposition throughout the film. He understands why they oppose him. He doesn't judge them for it. But, at the same time, he see the greater good and he doesn't want anyone to get in the way of that. In the moment he saw Gamora, why did he save her? Because he was only killing half the population of that world, not all. He was comforting a child that was going to lose her mother and was comforting her because he understood loss and that she was going to be in pain. He didn't want her to see that. He ended up bonding with her and adopted her.

That's what makes Thanos interesting. He is not a straight, emotionless villain. Thanos feels great emotion. But, he is still evil.

Agreed. He thinks he’s saving the universe by killing half of it. He thinks he’s the good guy. Villains only really work when they think they are the ones in the right.

excellent points about Thanos, he was gripping.

He killed all the Dwarfs except Eitri, though. That's not balance.

I think that was to save his own self. Remember the stormbreaker is the only thing known that can harm him.

 

[jaqua99]

He is also my favourite Avenger so I am A-okay with him surviving that punch. Also, a big LOL at people who were demanding for an explanation for why Cap could withstand Thanos. I predicted it was just through sheer willpower and I was right. It was such an awesome moment.

He didn't "resist" him. Rather, not all of Thanos' strength. Thanos had a look of curiosity, pitty, and admiration, so he clearly wasnt going full force.

Also at the end

"Where did he go. Thor, where is he"

The panic in his voice there REALLY set the tone for that final scene. Granted, the snap happened, but Cap's reaction there was freakin terrifying and I think that was one of the best line deliveries of the MCU.

Right when he said that, I was like..this movie is over...

 

[Donner]

I think part of it also has to do with Thanos not wanting to be responsible for creating food and resources and basically policing the universe. He erased half of it and as seen at the end of the movie, he looks like he's done. He fulfilled his destiny. No extra leg work required.

He clearly resisted Thanos. I don't know if Thanos was using all of his might and personally, I don't care. All I know is that Thanos looked surprised at the strength this mere human was exhibiting and took him out with the punch.

But he didn't even try. That's my point. He didn't know about the damage. He had a 50/50 choice between killing and creating and he chose the former.

 

[javonstokess]

I think the "reserved" Cap we see in IW is just a byproduct of him still emotionally dealing with the fallout of CW. "Captain America" is bold, confident and out front. "Steve Rogers" is reserved, quiet and thoughtful.

Just my opinion of course.

 

[SteveRogers41]

I feel like because they teased Stark's death in this one (and Strange ultimately ends up saving him) that Stark will be spared in A4. Unfortunately, that leaves Cap as the frontrunner to die permanently in A4. It's hard, knowing that one or both has to die. I just really love Tony and want him to be happy with Pepper haha.

People said the same thing about Loki not dying in IW prior the release, that because he's 'died' before he'd be spared. I don't think anyone being near death in this one means that they're necessarily spared in the next one. But then I don't want either Iron Man or Cap to die, and as I'm a Cap fan first and foremost, I especially don't want Cap to die.

I will say though that as much as I'd like Tony to be happy, Pepper kind of annoyed me a little bit. She doesn't seem to get that Tony can't stop being Iron Man no matter what. Her phone call to him sounded like an ultimatum which sort of rubbed me the wrong way a little. I mean not in an unforgivable way, just in a 'do you know your fiance at all, of course he's on the space ship going to fight whatever and he's going to prioritize that, duh' kind of way.

 

[javonstokess]

Thanos is crazy. I'm not sure where the confusion lies.

I dont get it, did Cap get a super buff, because he owned hulk with no effort.. And Cap helped back a more powerful Thanos

 

[SteveRogers41]

So...is the Collector dead? I didn't see a body.

In the comics the Elders are immortal and cannot be killed.

 

[LvtLeeTDK]

Thanos is crazy. I'm not sure where the confusion lies.

We're talking about MCU's Thanos, not the comic's one.

 

[javonstokess]

I've said before and I'll say it again: my theory for the end of A4 is Cap gets the Gauntlet and brings back everyone who "died", then he does doing so.

 

[Spider-Fan]

In the comics the Elders are immortal and cannot be killed.

True but no proof of that in the movies, LOL

 

[javonstokess]

We're talking about MCU's Thanos, not the comic's one.

Uh...the movie one is quite mad too if you haven't noticed.

Not even talking about the ends of IW, he basically hired Ronan to kill a bunch of people to get the Power Stone. Did the same with Loki to get the space stone. Then he murdered HALF of Gamora's planet.

Sounds like a crazy person to me.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't think he wanted one, LOL! He seemed fine with where he was.

How do you know? Maybe no-one asked him and he didn't want to seem too presumptuous by asking Thanos.

It would be nice if he came back to earth and faced Cap one last time. Maybe Cap will banish him back to where he came from.

 

[PacificBoy]

But he didn't even try. That's my point. He didn't know about the damage. He had a 50/50 choice between killing and creating and he chose the former.

For me, Thanos' determination to halve the universe's population suggests that creating enough food and resources using the stones was considered, but just didn't pan out as an option somehow.

 

[Tony Stark]

But he didn't even try. That's my point. He didn't know about the damage. He had a 50/50 choice between killing and creating and he chose the former.

No he didn't. His choice was clear. I can't remember his whole speech, but when he was talking about how humanity just continues to grow and grow and want more and more. Giving them everything they needed, is not a solution in his mind. His example of Gamora's homeworld where killing half the population resulted in their thriving, proves his ideology.

 

[SteveRogers41]

True but no proof of that in the movies, LOL

Oh I know. I'm in denial mode though because I want the Elders to play some in the cosmic universe we're supposedly heading towards for phase 4. So until the Russos say flat-out Tivan is dead, I'm holding on to him still being alive with any justification I can find.

 

[danoyse]

They won't. Russos already said guys with less screen time in IW will get more in A4. I think Cap will be one of the big players of A4.

He did have one of my favorite moments in the movie, when he meet Groot.

“I am Groot!”
“I am Steve Rogers!”

 

[Iceman]

Haha, that was awesome. Didn’t see it coming at all. Can’t believe that joke hasn’t come up before.

 

[Mjölnir]

How do you know that he doesn't know the capabilities of wielding all the Infinity Stones? He knew he could kill half the universe with a snap, but no one had ever wielded more than one stone before so clearly he's done his research.

And as others have pointed out Thanos has tested his theory and seen that people thrive after being culled.
