If she actually beats Thanos as easily as she seems to think, I'll be pretty disappointed. Doubt it'll happen though.
I'm betting her getting her powers from the Tesseract will shut her down quick.
imagine thanos using the tesseract stone take to away her powers, damn only one movie later
For what it's worth, however physically powerful Carol or any other character is only really matters if Endgame can be completely resolved just by kicking Thanos in the nuts hard enough, and I'm not sure that it's going to be that simple.
Who needs Carol when we have Ant-Man to strike fear in Thanos' heart?
Or his ass....
He's a titan.
they have the sphincters to tremble the heavens
Finally saw Black Panther.
What the fuck happened with that final fight's CG?
Infinity War needing all hands on deck is probably what happened
>Rocket Raccoon shows that two days ago a similar event to the one that occurred on Earth happened on another planet. He used the Stones again.
I don't like this. Are they acting like Thanos needs to go to each planet to wipe out half of the population? In Infinity War when he snapped his finger he killed people on Titan too, including Drax and Mantis (and Groot on Earth), so even an excuse like he was just killing humans doesn't make sense.
You think his paradise of crops was already waiting for him on a planet that wasn't titan?
"howdy mister thanos, I done growed all yer corns for ya, funny that you arrived exactly on time for harvest, say that's a fancy smoking glove you got there, might wanna put that out before you hang your armor on that their scarecrow with your exact dimensions I conveniently planted just now"
They literally show you what he does.
I fucking love that Tony's new suit is literally just the OG iron man armor but modernized. The gold sleeves and such. It looks damn good.
I didn't read this as "Thanos performed the Snap again," so much as "Thanos used all six stones in conjunction to do something." Like 27X said, he could've just created the landscape around his farm. Or, more interestingly, he could've forced the stones to destroy themselves and thus prevent the Avengers from ever undoing the Snap (without the help of time travel, at least).
That would be pretty bad writing if there is a stone that does time travel and the Avengers just figure out an alternative way to do it without the stone.
It would also mean time travel can be done with relative ease and "anyone" could do it, something I think is just not healthy for the universe.
The MCU's form of time travel apparently relies on the Quantum Realm, which nobody has the tech for besides Pym. It's still a pretty high bar to cross. I would also imagine that the Quantum Realm is only good for spitting things out at different points in time, while the Time Stone can do that alongside a bunch of specialized and local effects (like create branches in time and time loops, according to Mordo.)
I have always assumed, though, that whatever technology has been developed on Earth, it's probably already something made elsewhere in the galaxy. The tech shown in Guardians of the Galaxy has always more or less surpassed whatever the Avengers have made, even with Ironman.
Dang, that's good point. If anyone else in the universe developed something similar to Pym's particles, I wonder how they might've used them. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
They could always handwavium it by saying something like Pym is a special kind of human genius, unique to the universe and as likely as that explanation will be, it still feels a tad cheap.
Or time travel is a one way trip and whoever goes back is stuck there.
That would solve the issue entirely, I think.
Save of course using the infinity stones as the only way in both directions.
Welp prepare for bad writing then because time travel for earth is some hard and dangerous fucking shit to do, and the heroes need to earn their win honest without a maguffin crutch
I'm already predicting she's going to be the one to charge headfirst and eat dirt while everyone else is able to hold it together. Note I never saw Captain Marvel so I don't know how different Avenger's Carol is to her solo film and yet I'm kind of hesitant to watch it her film. She's already sounding like what people complained about Starlord for being to self-centered in his scenes.
People have already predicted that the time travel aspect is going to come in only after the Avengers get their asses royally kicked. As in, Thanos fucking kills them all, and then Ant-Man pops out of the quantum realm shortly before they fly out into space.
That's going to be so freaky.
I saw Shazam, and you know what I'd like more of from the MCU? Heroes doing mundane, kinda corny, but endearing things. When's the last time anyone other than Spider-Man saved a cat from a tree or made an appearance at a public school or something like that? It's a little touch, but it dawned on me that Marvel's heroes, despite their whole gimmick being "they're super relatable and flawed", don't really interact with common people all that much.
Like, aside from Spider-Man, they're basically all either government agents or space police or demigods at this point. They don't stop bank robbers or muggers so much as they stop international incidents and cosmic strife. I think bringing things back to basics could honestly do a lot for rejuvinating the universe after Thanos is over and done with; the bits in Homecoming where Tom Holland is swinging around doing small-scale crimestopping were the best parts of the movie, just because they actually felt like Spider-Man.

Tl;dw a lot of what you're saying; since Whedon left they haven't paid a whole lot of attention to the average person.
Thats what I liked about the earlier Netflix shows, like first season Daredevil and Luke Cage
I still want my 60s Fantastic Four movie that retcons them into the universe and ends with a plot device to jump them into the modern day or something.
You've been asleep Fantastic Four, for almost 50 years. Oh, and you too Doom.
