Jessica, yes to your last question! If I had been watching at home I would have been yelling at the screen.
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.
Yes! Afterwatd my friend and I were grabbing each other yelling "Cut his arm off! Always go for the head!"
(No worries, we are quiet in theaters.)
I was prepared for things that did not happen, and quite unprepared for many things that did happen.
And now because I am a geek I have to spend the next year trying to figure out how they're going to fix this.
I am so feelinged out.
Me too, msbelle. Still wrung out a day later. And weirdly resistant to devotedly thinking about it -getting a lot of other media consumed to distract myself.
Well put, Zen, with the things and preparedness.
I find myself not wanting to read fic about it. I just want to sit with it a bit.
My biggest question is: Why the fuck didn't Fury call Carol during the first Battle of New York ?????
I have to spend the next year trying to figure out how they're going to fix this.
I've already started! My thinking is The six original Avengers are still around and there are six Infinity Stones. Thanos will be defeated, but the Infinity Stones will be scattered again, so each of the Avengers has to go collect a stone, so that they can press the Undo button and restore everyone to life.
• They telegraphed it pretty clearly that Steve will have to collect the Soul Stone, since he was all like "we don't leave anyone behind," and he will need to make a sacrifice to get the stone. Plus, he gets to meet his old friend the Red Skull again!
• Thor will have to collect the Power Stone; with the Hulk out of commission, he is the only one who can pick it up without getting killed.
• Since Bruce has the Hulk trapped in his mind, it fits that he will be the one to collect the Mind Stone. It was established in Avengers 1 that he is drawn to the Mind Stone.
Beyond that, it gets murky.
Tom Scola is a wizard for having all the big ideas while I am all still. Wha?!? Wail! Pain!
Totes a wizard
Tom, do you think
Steve has someone he can go there with so that he can be the sacrifice? Because that's how the Soul Stone operated in Infinity War for Thanos to get it, so by those rules, he can't get it himself.
