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.

Ok, internet is back, I do not have to copy and paste to memo to read all the white font and I can make a long ass post.

So going in, I was expecting Cap and Nebula to die. Those two will hit me the hardest and I was DREADING IT. I was really expecting Nebula to be dead early on. So I spent a lot of the movie just waiting for those to die. Loki did not really surprise me and let's be honest, much like Merlin on Arrow and Crowley on Supernatural, he was a bad guy that was kept around too long on the basis of charm and the actor, imho. Heimdall was not surprising, knowing Thanos came to Asgard. I actually thought both Loki and Thor might be fake outs and so just assumed they were not dead since it was so early.

The early movie, Tony had so many great lines. SO MANY. things were funny and snappy and THEY LULLED US IN!

I am not sure where they are going with the Hulk refusing to come out stuff, but I guess it was smart to make all the fights more unsure.

When Cap and Nat and Falcon show up I yelped. I DO NOT LIKE WANDA AND VISION TOGETHER. NO. DO NOT WANT. It was funny, the Guardians getting involved. I love the Guardian movies, but I didn't love them mixed in with the Avengers. The confrontation with Thanos at Knowhere was A LOT. I'm not a huge Gamora fan, but man. And I was really afraid that Drax and Mantis were stuck in those altered states.

I wonder what items from The Collector maybe escaped.

The first thing that really scared me and made me start crying was when Tony was fighting Thanos and it was getting GRIM and he got stabbed. LOST IT. By then it was clear people were gonna die. Gamora was dead and Thanos was too strong.

The whole battle at Wakanda was crazy. Very Helms Deep (which is a reference I use a lot, I think the last Star Wars made me think of it also). Those dogs things were not right.

I have SO MANY NEBULA FEELINGS. SO MANY! Like, this is my main area of overwhelmed and I am just going to link to my DW entry. [link]

(Link contains spoilers and is my DW entry about something in IW.)

Yes! All that. I mean she's been my favorite, so I always have too many feelings for her, but man.

sorry, I keep italicizing everything instead of whitefonting.

PMM, that's the fatal flaw in my theory. Maybe Steve figures out away around the restriction, because he's Steve and he really doesn't leave anyone behind.

I mean, it's not like he's done the learning to love yourself, greatest love of all thing and can just do it solo! Which would be one out, maybe?
