re: Infinity war reaction and SPOILERS thread

Why didn’t Heimdall transport Thor or anyone else out there? Why hulk? And what was Hulk doing before jumping on Thanos? Just waiting for Loki to introduce him?

He was referencing defying destiny. Gamora in my interpretation of it was suppose to be killed back on her home world. She was the only person from her village to survive. Thanos intervened to save her. He was saying for the soul stone sacrifice he couldn't deny doing what he felt called to do by the universe a second time. She was suppose to die on her planet. Thanos betrayed his 50% rule then. She was now standing in the way of him doing it in the present for the entire Universe.

No. This wasn't it at all. Gamora was not the only survivor from her village. They clearly showed Ebony Maw forcing everyone to pick a side or be killed with the Chitari lined up in the middle. The Chitari soldiers opened fire on only one side, killing half the village.

What he was most likely referring to was the fact that he had a solution to save his own planet, ie slaughter half the population, but he didn't implement it so the population and the planet fell to ruin.

Saw it yesterday. Really good movie.

Understanding it’s a comic book movie, I know there are going to be parts that are unbelievable. I think within its own universe it was pretty consistent though. The only thing that really sticks out to me though was, as powerful as Maw was, (and I had no idea until he starts wrecking crap in NY without lifting a hand), his death was pretty lame. They punch a hole in his space ship and he gets sucked out of it and instantly dies?!? Come on man.

The really great thing I noticed after reading a lot of the reviews, was everyone seemed pretty happy with their favorite character and how they were written. That’s pretty telling when you have such a big movie with so many alpha characters and the audience is largely satisfied with their favs time on the screen and that they mostly felt a connection with them. That says a lot especially a comic book movie.

When I first heard about the movie a year or so ago and that they were going to combine gotg and the avengers to battle Thanos from the the first gotg film I thought it was crazy and would have a difficult time pulling all of that together and make it viewable. Wow was I wrong. They pulled it off seamlessly.

Ol baw ain’t dead, guarantee he’s back in the next one. He was easily the toughest thing Stark Spidey and Strange had ever fought until they met Thanos

yeah he's dead. The "cost" for Thanos included The Black Order.

My only complaint about the movie was how disposable the Black Order was as a whole. Hell, other than "I take it The Maw is dead?" we wouldnt have even known their names at all.
Maw,Black Dwarf and Proxima's deaths were weak af
Corvus cant die if his glaive stays intact...

One thing I did like was how they did the Gauntlet, how the stone he was using would light up and how when he used the time stone, it worked the same way as it did with Dr Strange going around his wrist instead of just lighting up.

Dorammau is practically a deity.Strange just tricked him. and yeah he's dead. The "cost" for Thanos included The Black Order.

Well yes taking away the fact that Dormammu would squash Strange like a bug in a real fight, that’s what I mean an actual physical altercation. Maw took all 3 to town in that fight. It also brings up what OML said, the fact that Thanos used Loki instead of the Black Order in Avengers was stupid on his part. I know they already had established Loki and he was perfect for the role of villain given we already knew him but still, Black Order is badass.

And since we know they’re gonna bring back the majority of heroes who died just because we know the sequels that are planned, I still believe 100% they’ll bring back Maw if not Corvus too once they find a way to reverse the snap. I don’t recall seeing Corvus’ staff get destroyed unless I missed it.

Yeah, why the frick was Maw following Thanos? Seems to me like he could've gone after the stones himself.

Yeah, I buy that simple explanation. There are plenty of great and powerful sons in history who go along with their father’s will. He may have just assumed that once his father got the Gauntlet and died of old age or something natural that he would get it himself. I buy that.
