Avengers: Infinity War Screencaps Leak
- Thread starter Anson225
- Start date
Gamora, Nebula and Drax are canonically strong as hell and in GotG 2 in particular they show it.
Dunno why Gamora was so nerfed in 1, but in 2 they course corrected and had her do stuff like lift the ship mounted gun onto her shoulder.
I guess? I love the Russo brothers but the Guardians don't have super powers they have guns. Well Groot has powers but he is basically a shaman in WoW powers wise
She wasn't Thanos' favorite for no reason. She's gonna wreck shit. And Drax is crazy strong, too.
Everyone hypes up wanting to see Cap pick up the stupid hammer but at this point it has been spoiled by the fact that Vision picked it up like nothing and Hela broke it like glass. Whedon made Mjolnir a joke and Waititi rightly finished it off.
I would much rather see Drax as the last man standing and in Infinity War and have him do the Annihilation scene. Maybe do it while Thanos still has the gauntlet so that it doesn't actually end up killing him. Bautista deserves a scene stealing hype moment, his Drax has been pretty damn incredible.

Aren't at least Drax and Gamora pretty powerful? Like, isn't Drax supposed to be able to take on Hulk (in the comics, at least)? Not sure where Starlord lies after Guardians 2, did he lose his demi-god powers?
I think the issue is Marvel hasn't done a great job portraying these characters strength levels. They seem to go from crazy powerful to barely able to fight from one scene to the next sometimes
In Guardians 1 they seemed pretty weak. Nothing really seemed to harm them in 2.
All signs are pointing to Christmas on ABC during the Warriors/Cavs game.
That's true. Gamorra goes from good fighter to crazy OP in 2.
Speaking of 2, it felt like the stakes revolved exclusively around Peter. They didn't do a good job involving the others into his arc or showcasing their strengths.

I will say they did a nice job showing how durable Drax is. Coming in dragged behind the ship smashing into stuff left and right and he just laughs it off.
Let's not forget that the Russos changed Caps display of strength in Winter Soldier to make his portrayal more accurate (Super Serum) and Drax and Gamora are really strong.

In my headcanon, their contact with infinity stones permanently boost their strength and durability
Gamora got upgraded in GotG 2. What did Drax do that showcased his strength? He seemed very durable but I don't remember him doing anything like holding a huge gun.

Yeah Ego tells Peter that killing him and the planet will make him be a regular human again.

People will say all kinds of shit when they think they're about to die. Peter could still have those abilities if they want him to have them.
But we see him losing the powers. If not he would just fly away, instead to having to be saved.
I mean yeah they could retcon it, but atleast in GoTG2 it ends with Peter without powers.
That's true, but it's also easily handwaved away. They could make him work to get some of it back. He doesn't need to be as powerful as Ego obviously.
Ego was the source of his powers. Ego is no more, so no more powers.
They wanted him to have powers in GotG Vol. 2 and gave him some. If it enhanced the story I don't have a problem with it.
Also, Star-Lord isn't some sacred cow who can't be futzed with. Giving him powers is not on the level of, say, making Batman an undisciplined murdering psychopath. Is anybody really gonna give a shit if he pops up with new abilities?
Part of the appeal of someone like Star Lord is that he has no powers. That was what I liked about him in Abnett and lanning's cosmic run, for example. Non-powered guy with guns leading a team of enhanced individuals.
Gunn made sure to spell out very clearly what conditions were required for him to have powers. His and Ego's last interaction is Ego telling him he'll be like everyone else if he kills him and 'the light.'
File this one under requested fan service stuff like Cap's arc revolving around lifting Thor's hammer or Coulson showing up in IW/A4.

But why even do it? He's got the blaster and the jet boots and shit, why render all his cool kit pointless.
Where did the December 4th date come from, and who is corroborating it? Just trying to get a read on how legit it may or may not be.
Actions need permanent consequences in a story otherwise no ones going to face repercussions.
Would rather defeat the purpose of Ego telling Starlord he'll be just like everyone else and getting the reply "What's so wrong about that?" to retcon it into Starlord having powers after all. He's fine being human like everyone else.
No, you're just going to the movies to see movies based on comics.
Based on comics.
You do care because you're arguing in favor of keeping facets of comics you don't like out of comic based films.
I don't disagree. Just saying it's easily doable.
Literally every film they've made has avoided dumb comic book bullshit like this so I don't understand why they would just retcon this.
That pattern/texture is rather neat. Has a Jean Giraud feel to it.I dunno, she looks real badass here.
