Would it be possible for Strange to make a portal to the sun so when Thanos jumped a portal would be opened to the sun so he would fall into the sun?

This is just a random observation, but I remember when I watched Doctor Strange and they made a point about using some magic rings to open the portals with, I thought: "well, that's stupid, and they will get rid of it in the next movie", and unless I missed it in this movie, they totally got rid of it because it's stupid. I get the point of having certain enchanted items like the cape, etc. but it takes away from the movie when you end up needing enchanted toilet paper to wipe your ass.

I mean did you watch the film?

Ant Man & The Wasp should do a heel turn at Act 2 and its all about them dealing with planes falling out of the sky and people dying all around them.

Show the actual ramifications of this film, show how the definitively Earth in the MCU is nothing like ours anymore.

edit: oh wait has it been confirmed to take place before IW?

I mean, that would be incredible but I doubt they would take that route because the critical response would likely be negative.

I'm talking about wearing special magic rings to open the portals, not the portals themselves. I bet you forgot about it already ;)

Strange opens a million portals in Titan and I don't see him wearing no ring. In his movie it was a plot point that you could get seriously stranded in another dimension if you lost it.

Well spotted. I didn't even think of the rings.

Ah, the good ol' sling ring.

My guess is that Strange has magically gained the ability (and taught Wong) how to make portals without them.

Strange has two years and a time stone.

I mean I can buy he'd figure out a way to perfect it without them.

Serious question: Do we know what happened to Pepper?

Is Tony gonna have to cut a Thanos when he gets back and she's dusted?

As previously noted this film was a major disappointment I'm waiting for Avengers 4 to reintroduce best boy Hawkeye. I assume he builds an of Anti-Thanos arrow and saves the day as I predicted in my blog.

In my headcanon he got dusted while in the shower and washed down the drain.

Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place in between CW and IW. We won't see the effects of the snap in the world until A4.

If his science son and his wife got got A4 will just be the Godkiller armor descending upon Thanos.

And on the second point, shame on you. Hawkeye is the real MVP. And he probably gifts random dogs free pizza.

How does the snap works with pregnant woman? She and the baby counts as one?

And did he kill half of microorganisms? Viruses got a pass?

STEP INTO THE WAKE WITH YOUR BLOOD ON MY SHIRT!!!

And Stark's evolution from Iron-Man to now is an amazing thing. He went from a selfish single playboy to a caring mentor who wants to raise his own family.

Quick question, how come Thanos waited up until this point to take the stones?

Was there something in the Thor movies or GOTG that eludes to something holding him back from dropping by Earth and taking the stones immediately? They seem to have the ability to track the stones too, they find Vision no problem.

Oh wait, the handle for the axe disappears as well, doesn't it? Guess that'll be a plot point in the next one.
Eitri just misplaced it, but I'm sure it will make an exciting story of Eitri looking under couch cushions trying to retrace his steps.

I know you were talking about Groot.

Guessing he needed to figure out where they all were first and the accumulate them all quickly before people could realize he was in the market for them.

He does have a line to Gamora at the Soul Stone temple where he says something like "I delayed my Destiny once before, not again". I wasn't sure what he meant by that though. Maybe 'raising' Gamora & Nebula instead of just cracking on with gathering the stones?

Thanos could have been building his army too.

Plus we know he needed the gauntlet to gather the stones. Maybe he just didn't know where Nidavellir was for a while. Maybe he wanted to wait until Ragnarok destroyed Asgard

Nothing is ever said in the films but some of us speculate that the death of Odin could have played into it. Perhaps Odin would have been a formidable opponent against Thanos, so Thanos decided to bide his time and in the end, didn't need to attack Asgard and Odin for the Space Gem.

By the end of Age of Ultron, it seems he's had enough of waiting for Loki and/or Ronan and/or Gamora to deliver their Infinity Stones, so he gets out of his chair and decides to "do it himself", as he says.

Also, his Chitauri army got wiped out by the Avengers so I'm guessing he wasn't going to be so quick to try again. Let his small order handle things and come back to Earth when he's got the rest of the stones.

I've seen people point to Odin dying (who was the protector the the 9 Realms) and the Ancient One dying as possibly the biggest threats to Thanos completing his mission. Also the Avengers were split up from Civil War and Asgard as a whole was destroyed in Ragnarok, so even the secondary threats were weakened.

Also worth noting that in addition to Odin, you have Hela, Surtur, Ego, Malekith, Ronan and The Ancient One gone as well. I mean that's a lot of threat to Thanos sorted out. Ancient One would've whipped his ass with ease.

Does anyone in Canada know how the IMAX theatres are for this? I'm in the GTA I can't easily get out to Scotiabank this week which I know is the best. Mississauga has 70mm IMAX which I'm assuming is a bigger screen for movies like this too. I've only been to IMAX for Nolan movies.

The way I see it Thanos wanted some "easy" stones before starting shit with people that could fight back. It's why he goes after Reality and Soul before directly dicking with anyone, Thor even says something along the lines of "two of them are being guarded by the Avengers so he's going to Knowhere".

We know he sent Gamora to look for the Soul Gem some time before the events of Guardians of the Galaxy, which is when he had tasked Ronan with finding the Power Gem. Thanos also already had the Mind Gem, since he gave that to Loki before the first Avengers movie.

We also now know Thanos didn't attack Asgard for the Space Gem because Odin would have easily killed him.

If you think about it, maybe Thanos didn't make his move until after Asgard was destroyed because he knew he couldn't beat the Asgardians? It's pretty telling that he attacked Xandar for the Power Gem first and he clearly wasn't stupid enough to attack the remaining Asgardians without a full army, either.

Anyone else hear the crazy theory that everyone at the end of IW was sucked into the soul gem and those who disintegrated are in the 'prime' dimension that people in the soul gem dimension will have to get back to.
