'Objects In Space'


Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises

Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.

Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).

Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We should probably start a deadpool about which characters are going to die.

Although if it's anything like the comics, a bunch of characters killed off in this movie will be resurrected in next year's sequel.

Tom, my brother said the same thing as your whitefont. But the MCU is getting bloated, so it wouldn't be the worst thing for some characters to die. (Okay, yes, it would suck.)

My money's on Tony and Steve.

We know there's going to be another Spidey movie and another Black Panther movie, so Peter and T'Challa are safe.

Can Bruce even die? I feel like the first Avengers movie established that he couldn't, but maybe the Infinity Gauntlet is a special case.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My money's on half the cast being portaled to a pocket universe / alternate dimension where they don't get to be in movies for a while, but aren't dead just in case Marvel wants them back later.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Hulk has been knocked out twice (by a 5-mile fall in The Avengers and by a sucker punch from the Hulkbuster armor in Age of Ultron), bled thanks to a bite from the Fenris Wolf, and it looked like Thor was going to KO him in Ragnarok until the Grandmaster intervened. It certainly appears possible that he could be destroyed by sufficient force, although the threshold for doing so is admittedly very high. I'd say anyone who could effectively use an Infinity Stone would qualify, and Thanos will presumably get his hands on all six.

But Tony in Wakanda means Shuri gets to school him on science and tech, so yay!

I'm really hoping Tony sees her lab and is properly appreciative, though with the occasional "You could tweak the parameters on that a little with this nifty trick" but with a big grin of "this is so neat." And maybe Shuri seeing the Iron Man armor and hiding her appreciation with "Please, I can hide one of those in a necklace."

You know, she may actually help him create that nanobot armor, and if he's willing to let her help him with the suit, I don't think he's too annoyed.

Given his mentor-y relationship with Peter, I think he'll actually be delighted (because he clearly supports the smarty-pants of the younger generation). But Shuri will still roast him, because that's what she lives for.

Tony likes people who can stand up to him. I see Steve and T'Challa both being horrified as Tony and Shuri start bonding.

I want to see Tony introduce Shuri and Peter and say something about super-smart babies. Though Peter would dissolve in embarrassment.

Just bought my ticket for Sunday noon. Hooray for Utahns who go to church.

You know, I was impressed with the effort put into the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok to not give away big important shit, like Thor losing an eye and whatnot. So it just makes me wonder what in the Infinity War trailer has been concealed with CGI like that.
