Avengers: Infinity War - (warning: Spoilers)

[guyver1]

Actually when they had Thanos all tied up on Titan they should of ignored the glove and just ran a sword through his head or heart, end of story

It’s Starlord’s fault, they had Thanos locked with Mantis, but Quill’s stupid rage knocked Mantis off so Thanos regained consciousness. Drax and Spidey along with IM should’ve pulled the gauntlet off, they had the most physical strength . Drax actually cut Thanos briefly .

Star lord ruined the game plan

Thanos is a badass of a being. He held his own against everyone with his non gauntlet hand many times in the film. I love how the Russos kept depicting this throughout the fight scenes.Saying Thanos doesn’t need the gauntlet to kick ass. He knocked Cap out with his bare fist

If Star lord and the gang went with Thor and rocket to make the weapon Thanos would not have gotten Gamora in the first place. Thereby not getting his hands on the souls stone. They should have known they couldn’t take Thanos by themselves.

I think yes and no, I think Gamora was going to face Thanos anyway, hence why she told Quill to kill her if it happens. So maybe it didn’t matter if she went with Thor or not.

Too bad the Guardians never interacted with the Avengers on earth and Panther at all in the film. Not once . The separation between Spidey, IM , Guardians with the rest of the Avengers was annoying.

Rocket and Groot went to Earth with Thor though....

True. I don’t get why Raccoon didn’t disappear along with Shuri, Okoye .

What was with Hulk..I guess I have to see Ragnarok ..why was he not coming out when Banner willed it. Was he scared because Thanos kicked his ass

So am I to understand as this film depicted..there were only three real deaths in the film besides the vanishing theory

Gamora
Thor’s friend
Loki ( which is still questionable IMO)

I just realized Wong is still on Earth..maybe they can use his help in Avengers 4 . Since he could weld magic as well

Man the bits in bold are almost enough to bring a tear to my eye. I swear growing up a Captain America comic fan was almost like being in some secret club that no one knew about, lol. His fighting style was always so dynamic and his "pick himself up by the bootstraps" mentality despite the constant melancholy of being being out of his time and guilt for Bucky's death just made him so damn easy to root for. But year after year, decade after decade he was on *no one's* radar. Sometimes you'd hear an off-hand reference in pop culture like Will Smith calling the one random agent Captain America in the first Men in Black but that was pretty much the most inside of jokes despite the character being as old as Wonder Woman and almost as old as Batman and Superman.

He had no cool cartoons that anyone cared about and the 1990 live-action straight to video flick was a disaster. When CA:TFA came out I considered it an epic victory that people even bregrudgingly thought it was "decent." Then Whedon had to come along and the very next year take him several notches down again. But oh, those freaking awesome Russo Brothers. Because of them he's almost a universally liked and respected character and badass. Cap shield t-shirts are *everywhere.* And even if he gets recast in Phase 4 and gets Schumacherized or whatever I just don't see anything shaking the foundation of this amazing big screen run he's had from 2011 until now.

That makes me so happy that your character is finally getting recognized! Growing up, i "cut my teeth" on Reeve Superman and then Super Friends. I didn't really start getting into comics themselves until maybe 2nd grade when I started actually reading, and then they were mostly for the artwork which I tried to duplicate (I always drew) so Batman and his world was my jam. The only Marvel I got was Spider-Man. Captain America never was even on my radar. I thought he looked stupid, I hated his name and generally felt lame. High school is when I finally started reading Marvel but it was mainly X-Men. I did buy Liefelds attempt at relaunching Cap....now that is something I feel like I just admitted to an AA meeting. I just owned that guilt!!!! Side story, I ended up giving the whole run to the guy who runs the local comic book store because he HATES Liefeld with so much passion. He waited in line at a convention just to give Liefeld a book on how to draw body proportions [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I wrapped the Liefeld Cap issues up in a box with a bow for his birthday. Seeing his face open it was priceless.... he banned me for 2 days and made me pay full price for 2 months [emoji23]

But now I can say Captain America is the character I get excited for the most when he shows up. Evans' performance is so straight yet he manages to give so much depth to this character that doesn't know the words "give up". When he showed up in IW I literally got goose bumps and said "F yes!" He is the character i will be crushed by if he dies any time soon. I know Chris Evans wants out, so I'm expecting that day to come soon. That will truly feel like an end of this era in comic book films.

Oh man, you never liked Cap but decided to give him a chance with *Liefeld's* run? Brutal.

No wonder you never liked the character, lol. So glad that the MCU has presented him in a way that won you over. Now if you ever do decide to pick up any Cap comics I'd actually recommend that you ignore anything put out after 9/11. Marvel just turned a corner with him after those events and has used him as a political talking point pretty much ever since. He became a completely different character. Ed Brubaker had a pretty celebrated run with the Winter Soldier storyline which gave us the awesome cinematic Bucky but Ed was very upfront about his intentions to sideline Steve Rogers from the very beginning because his personal favorite character was always Bucky.

Volumes 1 (#100-454) and 3 (#1-50) were where it's at. Liefeld's run was Volume 2 and it was just so, so bad (as you already discovered.)

I wonder if a gauntletless Thanos would die in space

Wasn't Thanos in space in GOTG?

 

[jye4ever]

guyver needs an MCU marathon intervention.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Movie Thanos was nerfed badly, but he seemed strong enough without the gauntlet, since he beat Hulk effortlessly and the Black Order feared him, and they were no joke either. I'm sure he can survive in space.

I wonder if Thanos is dying or permanently hurt after using the IG? In his last scene, his arm and neck are clearly scared...or poisoned. The Avengers might go up against a dying Thanos, kind of like when he was sick in one of his stories in the comics.

Hey, I was right there with ya. In the late 80s, my favorite was Iron Man. Never imagined the name Tony Stark would become a household name someday.

My older brother was a Cap fan. Now the great thing about having brothers is, their stuff is basically your stuff. So every month, after he was done with it, I'd read his Cap comics. And my god, what an insane run Gruenwald was on in the late 80s-early 90s. The "Cap gets replaced and becomes the Captain and then becomes Cap again and Johnny becomes US Agent" was just a mindblowing story arc. And insanely violent! Can't believe they got away with that in a code-approved book.

And then all that Serpent Society stuff...and Ron Lim came aboard and the Red Skull/Crossbones issues, while Steve was dating Diamondback. I absolutely loved that era.

I kept going right up until the Ron Garney issues...what an artist. But Heroes Reborn sucked....I read a few issues after Heroes Return, when Garney came back, but by that time I was getting tired of super hero comics in general.

Still....what a run. (I also really loved that origin 4-parter in prestige format with Kevin Maguire art.)

Took out the Hulk in mere seconds nerfed

Dude Gruenwald's "Cap No More" run is literally my favorite comics story of all time.

I love seeing whispers of it in the current films, including Cap turning in his classic shield, adopting a darker color scheme, and receiving a new shield from T'Challa.

And yeah I remember when that run was going on in the late 80's I had a buddy who was collecting the ongoing Wolverine series and he was pissed that Wolverine was always trying to keep a low profile and almost never used his claws but then he'd look at my Captain America books and would see John Walker slaughtering entire teams of bad guys, driving pitchforks through them, smashing their faces with rifle barrels, etc. That was such an epic buildup between psycho Walker Cap and Steve Rogers.

I don't even remember why I bought the Liefeld run to begin with...it's like a different person purchased it and I have to accept responsibility for it [emoji30]

Please if you think of any other Cap recommendations I would greatly appreciate them. I am just glad the films were able to make me see the potential of the character.

Yeah, I thought of that too, during the "get this man a shield" line. Of course, the vibranium shield was a replacement for the all-mirrored shield Tony made for him, while Tony was going through the Armor Wars. Then Tony "betrayed" him and he returned that shield, and as far as I know, that storyline was the first real major "rift" between them that would eventually culminate decades later in Civil War.

All that plus ultra violence? "Cap No More" truly had it all.

[chewblacca]

Anyone who der what would have happened if Thor had gone to Titan instead of Earth? Would they have gotten the glove off? Would cap and friends survive their attack?

 

[jye4ever]

Hell no it was shown at the start that Thor got his butt handed to him by Thanos on that asgardian ship.

Odin told Thor he was more than just a hammer.

Yeah well not against Thanos he isn’t lol
