re: Infinity war reaction and SPOILERS thread

I bet we never see red skull again and it was just a cameo for fan boys one time

Clea is a major character in Dr Strange. Major. Almost certain they will slip her in a Strange movie, somehow. She is Strange's greatest pupil and becomes his wife. She is also from the Dark Dimension, closely related to Dormammu (his niece). She is described as the Sorcerer Supreme in that dimension, Strange's counterpart.

But as things stand before Infinity War, Strange will keep the door closed to the Dark Dimension and all within it, because of D. So you need a pathway to that opening, one that doesn't involve D immediately taking revenge and destroying our dimension.

Strange being gone due to Thanos opens the door on our end; snapping Dormammu out of existence is a way to show just how powerful Thanos' action is (it destroys the single strongest character in another dimension). Briefly introducing her as a minor character (major power but small role) in IW2 expands the Strange story, and fits the theme of what has happened thus far.

I wouldn't be surprised, either way. But Marvel does seem to plan ahead when it introduces characters. This would fit their pattern.

So some questions from a guy who isn't exactly a comic book expert:

1. Why was the Red Skull guy on that planet with the stone? How did he get that job?
2. Since Dr Strange presumably gave up the stone because he saw the future outcomes and knew that Tony needed to be alive, could he not have given him more information about how to win? I'm admittedly not sure what the extent of his powers is.
3. Why was Gamora the only one who knew where to find the soul stone? Thanos and his minions seemed to know where all the other stones were. Did she just find a way to hide it?

They should have made that an after credit scene to another movie.

I don't think any of these questions are comic book related, but solely from the movies.

1. Go back and watch Captain America: The First Avenger. When Red Skull grabs the tesseract, he gets transported away. They also do something with this in Avemgers Assemble.

2. I imagine if Strange told Stark about it, then it would alter that outcome. That's usually how they explain time stuff in theses comics/movies/TV shows.

3. Most likely a plot device. I don't recall there being a hint in prior movies that she did know about the souls stone.

Doubtful that they’re done with this Spider-Man. A good part of this thread is spent on everyone’s love for the guy.

I'm not saying that they will replace him.

I'm simply saying there's already a character out there who could.

It’s not totally unbelievable that she knew where he soul stone was. She was sent after the power stone too.

Cinematic reasons.

Too close to home for nukes. Drones screaming "WAKANDA FOREVER" aren't as entertaining.

The original plan was to form a shieldwall. You have to be dismounted to do that. After being outflanked BP ordered a charge. If they had known beforehand the enemy they would face their tactics would have been different.
