Anyone else feel the reason the Hulk won't come out is because of how hard Thanos beat his ass at the outset?
The Hulk persona seems to have a very adolescent mentality and is easily riled, becoming petulant and sullen.
Also, I loved that scene. It was a great way to demonstrate how Thanos is operating on an entirely different power level.

Soul stone lit up once or twice during the Wakanda fight, when he was phasing people out of existence
"I'll get that arm..."
I think it makes sense. Hulk defines himself as the strongest one there is. This was the first time had lost a fight. And he lost it pretty badly.
Hulk is a child who just got his ass kicked for the first time. Of course he's scared. It's an interesting new angle for him.
Tip-toeing around and neutering their own movies so die-hard geeks (I'm part of that too) won't be as miffed on how an adaptation of a story you can read in comics, and all future works based on those comics, plays out, is a wasted effort.
They had more than succeeded in getting the audience to respond how they want, even with "obvious" and "lame" deaths.
We'll part on opinions, but I'll say again, the "they shouldn't show who dies from the snap" is absolutely stupid from a screenwriting, emotional, and narrative standpoint, and exists as a negative use of the "Rule of Cool" trope. Yeah, it'll be cool if that happens but it'll make no damn sense. It'll take you out of the film. It's for cheap suspense instead of genuine gravitas.
Korg's going to arrive in Avengers 4 with enough pamphlets for every man, woman and child in the universe. He's going to have two times too many.
That I understood. I'm talking about the shit with Thor on the ship. I get it's played for laughs, but it got old for me real quick.I think you're mistaken childishness with being hothead. Peter has always been impulsive from the first moment we met him in Guardians of the Galaxy. So it's not out of character for him to go into rage mode when the woman he loved was murdered.
There's apparently loads of deleted scenes for this.Wasn't it confirmed that Tessa was on set for at least a day or two? I wonder if there was a sequence with her that got cut, or if she's going to play a role in A4.
Why do the actors that play Black Panther / Spiderman HAVE to come back exactly?
Surely they can follow the Batman example that the superhero is an idea, not a person. Black Panther is just the king of Wakanda, and can be replaced by the next person in line to the throne. And maybe even Miles Morales can be the new Spider-Man?
Of course none of those things will happen, but seeing as everyone seems to have already worked out what's going to happen in A4, keeping them dead would be an incredibly ballsy move from Marvel.
Heimdall
Me neither.
The pain was real for that moment and well-earned.
And as mentioned before, that Peter scene...ouch. (You get an acute reminder he's just a kid)
Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman's takes on those characters are adored by too many people for them to dare try that. Black Panther in partiular blew up WAY more than anyone expected, so there's no way they'd get off that gravy train after just 2 stops.
Still, I would like to see how they'd handle all these deaths being permanent.
Looking back, I love all the theories about the missing Soul Stone before this one came out. It's in Heimdal! ITS HIS EYES! It must be in Wakanda!
Nah, it's just on some mountain somewhere waiting for a sacrifice.
I'm dumb but just realized this is why they stopped actively marketing this as a two-parter

.
Wanda should have always been OP, it always annoyed me how simple and generic they made her. She was still kind of generic, but she was at least more powerful.
Because you know they're just not dead.
I felt nothing for any of those deaths, it was obvious the moment it started happening that they'd be coming back.

If you watch it again...I must have missed the Arrested Development character/reference that was listed in the credits.
Was that really how it went down? I swear Bucky was the first to go.
Such a cop out to "fade" characters who you know will be back next film instead of actually killing someone important.
that's pretty obvious.Anyone else feel the reason the Hulk won't come out is because of how hard Thanos beat his ass at the outset?

These movies don't make billions off the backs of "die-hard geeks", they do that because they succeed and resonate with the general public. That being said, there were enough callbacks and lore references to lore bullshit that held a geek like me over, and in the end I was still swept up in the tragedy of the moment when they showed everyone disappearing. There were actually quite a few "not you too!" and cries of despair as they gradually revealed who didn't make it.

where's myI wasn't ready for the ending.
T'challa's acting all kingly ready for the next part. Then vanishes.
Sam dying unnoticed.
Peter Parker's utter despair.
All of it.
Man, wtf. Thanos, you absolute goon.
On a lighter(lol) note, Thor's my favourite character in the MCU now, 100%. He lost so much but still keeps himself up in high spirits. What a legend.
I love this and it makes perfect sense.I just saw a YouTube comment that said the reason Spider-man went out panicking is because of his Spider-sense, in addition to being young. I have to watch the movie again to confirm, but that turns the screws even harder on his death.
I really loved most of the film but the ending just didnt land for me.

You might as well just never watch movies because happy endings are a thing. "I just watch the first and last 10 minutes as it's all that's needed"Like for real, there are definitely plausible criticisms for this film but the "no stakes" shit is completely absurd.
Many people care about their relationship. It's one of the most important in Marvel.
Because they would have shown him dead.
Him and Valkyrie are 100% alive. They weren't in the movie and they made a point to say half of the Asgardians were killed.
I loved the movie. It was still way too fucking safe for my taste. And I really don't give a shit about the Hollywood machine when discussing geeky stuff like this. I understand why certain decisions are made. I can still voice my hatred for them (in detail).
the real impact was the reaction of the 16 year old kid realizing he was about to meet his end and there was nothing he could do about it
everyone else was eh
