Marvel Cinematic Universe Thread - Dr. Strangelove - Film, Television and Music

Pretty sure the Snap is unbiased about who gets dusted.

IIRC yeah it's all completely random, and I think when he does the snap it does the universe as a whole rather than individual planets/races. Sidenote, as someone who had a pretty bad reaction to their own mortality, Peter's reaction hit me a lot harder than I was expecting.

The Guardians were my favorites, so seeing the entire team bar Rocket and Nebula get wiped out hit hard. Fucking Rocket gotta watch Groot die in front of him twice now. That ain't fair.

[sp]I now want Groot to just permanently growing out of Thor’s Axe now.[/sp]

Hint, your tags don't work. It's the crossed out eye icon in the toolbar that covers your spoilers.

Also, as sombre as the ending was, Nick Fury dying before he could finally say motherfucker was darkly hilarious.

Are we allowed to talk about the Marvel's cartoons?

Just watched IW, even with knowing that there are sequels announced, its still executed extremely well, especially Groot's, T'Challa's and Spider-man's deaths, and it left me crying like a bitch. I don't think Gamora's gonna stay dead, as her and Quill's arcs still haven't been completely finished yet. How likely is it that the time stone is the focus of Avengers 4?

I was really shocked when Thanos turned Drax into stone and exploded Mantis. So unexpected, so dark. I thought they'd be dead for good

but does this mean we lost half the trees in the universe? Also I wonder how/whether antman&wasp will be affected by the snap

It might take place before IW

I just came back from Infinity war. Goddamn those last 15 minutes.

I saw this reddit comment about when Antman and Wasp takes place in regards to IW, I thought it was pretty hilariously dark The Ant-Man and the Wasp movie takes place before the arrival of Hulk to the Sanctum. They go on a quest in the quantum realm to rescue Janet Van Dyne. The movie ends with them emerging from the quantum realm victorious. Hope hugs her mom only to have her turn to ash in her arms.

I read on Tropes that the directer(?) Stated anyone who died in this movie stays dead. I figured the loophole for the snap victims was that they didn't "die", just ceased existing.

Shit, Sorry everyone. Was writing that on phone but thought I cancelled it due to not getting sp tags to work, sorry if I spoiled anything for anyone.

I'd make the assumption that The Snap™ only targets sapient life (i.e. humans and other beings of similar intelligence), since they would be the ones responsible for excessive resource consumption and overpopulation, everything Thanos was trying to prevent.

I wonder, what planet was Thanos on at the end? It wasn't his homeworld, as that was still destroyed

I assumed that was Gamora's homeworld.

I'm thinking during and/or after, considering the trailers kind of confirm the house arrest angle.

I really loved the little instrumental song at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1eQy1nnJkw

The simple "Thanos will return" was a nice touch considering I got use to "X will return in AVENGERS INFINITY WAR"

Yuno I loved the film but the last 15 minutes would of hit me a lot harder if there wasn’t confirmed sequels to Spider-Man and guardians also I know nothing about captain marvel or her powers but I think that’s what the post credit scene was about so that’s exciting

So about Gamora If she's going to stay dead, I'm really curious how that's gonna play into the next GoTG movie. Will they try and replace her with Quasar?

Just got back from the film. Being a hardcore Captain America fan, I was totally prepared and accepting that he would be dying in this film....only to get sucker-punched with Bucky dying before his eyes. Ow. Also, who rules Wakanda now?

Nakoia and M'Baku will have to test for it, unless M'Baku accedes

Maybe it's because my theater sucked and everyone loudly laughed and talked during the sad scenes and I couldn't hear anything half the time but I really don't think I liked it. Just felt really by the books, like they were checking off all the boxes. None of the scenes stood out to me like they did in Thor: Ragnarok or Deadpool. Probably didn't help the guy next to me was also loudly talking about what happened in the comics throughout the movie and spoiling everything.

I never took into account that the span of time between the attack on new york and IW was a mere 6 years. its crazy to think how fast the world was flipped upside down despite shield's efforts.

now that's how you execute a cinematic universe, DC! also just nit picking quite a bit but statistically like there should only have been like 5 people on that battlefield dead since they represented a small fraction of the human race. given the assumption it was completely statistically determined then everybody has a 1 in 4 billion chance to die assuming there's 8 billion people which isn't quite true but we haven't done a good count in some time and I'm rounding up by a few hundred million the chances that anyone they knew died are actually pretty damn small, the chances of multiple avengers dying is just ridiculous. just a nitpick

I mean, isn't the snap supposed to take away literally 1/2 of every living being in the universe lol. They could've just erased the entire human race and still not come even remotely close to 50%

That why you need the Gauntlet, so it's half of every extant race/creatures with souls or sapience.
