Locked AVENGERS: ENDGAME Thread v.1

[James T. Kirk]

Just details.. what's important is I think he will be back.

Only losses will be Loki and the gatekeeper it's not that grim of a scenario, come to think of it Loki should have been killed a long time ago it's about time he lost all his 9 lives.

If by the Gatekeeper ya mean the Red Skull, what makes ya think he's dead?

I think it's more than that. I think Thanos knew exactly what was going to happen but he allowed it cause he knew he'd survive it. Add the pain to his penance. All he cared about was wiping out half of the galaxy.. A bit of pain for that would be nothing to him...

Then why fire the beam at Stormbreaker at all?

Heimdall .. Idris Elba.

Don't get me started on Red Skull lol.

Why toy around with the Avengers as he was retrieving the last stone? He coulda turn all of them to spaghetti and teleported right next to Vision and ripped that stone out in 10 seconds max.

He amused himself with the Avengers before taking the final stone...

I don't see what amused him about firing the beam at Stormbreaker.

As stated... I don't think it mattered to much for him that he got injured as long as he didn't die.

personally I don't understand why Stormbreaker is so OP. It doesn't make sense that it can overpower the gauntlet. The power of all 5 stones can't stop/defend against Stormbreaker? The requirements for making that weapon wasn't that high. The gauntlet can wipe out half of the galaxy but not stop a battle ax/hammer? meh...

New Set Video of Cap, Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Hulk from AVENGERS 4

Calling it now based on intuition. Thor dies. why you ask? He’s slimmed down considerably for el royale movie.

I get that he may come back and what not but I’m sure however much Chris Hemsworth loves doing Thor, he loves not having to keep that weight on. Being that big and lean is rough.

 

[Francis Rossi]

Hemsworth may be one of the ones moving on, so it wouldn't be a stretch for him to be spoilered.

You still don't get what I'm saying. If he knew firing a beam at Stormbreaker wouldn't do any good, that Stormbreaker was gonna go through him anyway, then why do it? If it was only for his own amusement, then what did he find amusing about it? That's what I'm saying. Where does the amusement part come in? What's amusing about firing a "repulsor" beam you know is not gonna repulse? I just don't see anything funny about that.

The one thing Thanos consistently enjoyed doing in the movie: giving the heroes hope only to take it away at the last second.

Letting Thor think he had foiled Thanos's best shot at him, only to immediately proclaim ultimate victory, is completely in line with everything else he did in the movie.

It was like saying "oh no your mighty weapon completely thwarted my very best attack, oh whatever will I- psych bitches I'm killing half the universe!"

That moment was as Thanos as Thanos gets.

I never really saw him getting a kick out of toying with the heroes. I just saw him doing whatever he felt he had to do and swatting the heroes away whenever they tried to stop him.

How come you got a yellow card so soon?

Dude, what movie were you watching? That was probably the single most consistent theme in the movie: Thanos making the heroes believe they'd won only to see their faces when they realized they hadn't. The Hulk fight, the events with Gamora, Quill, the fight on Titan, and the final move with Thor. The entire movie was essentially "watch the heroes find certain victory then have it snatched right back over and over".

I never saw any of that. All I saw was him doing whatever he felt he had to do in order to achieve his ultimate goal. I didn't see any sadistic side to him.

Agree with you for sure with the one exception scene being with Gamora and quill where Thanos clearly got a kick out of fucking with both gamora’s and especially Starlord’s mind. Could have turned Peter’s laser to nothing at any moment but instead makes him and Gamora (even encourages it) go through the painful process of coming to terms with her dying and quill having to kill her only to then bail. And that’s not an example of letting the heroes think they won but of just giving false hope and Thanos being a sadistic mfer.

Otherwise, the other scenes our friend Exto described could be explained in other ways. For example, with Hulk it wasn’t letting him think he could win- it was just that he got blitzed and caught off guard but in seconds he thwarted Banners attack and then absolutely dummied him.

Then honestly, I gotta say you simply weren't paying enough attention.

It was all but announced during the Hulk fight: he wanted Hulk to feel victory before he took it away from him. It was something he enjoyed, and he kept doing it. It probably stems from what happened on Titan. Probably a capable leader who felt he had a great solution, only to have it taken away from him at the last second. It's his means of revenge and what he was doing all movie long.

I mean even the scene with Gamora and the soul stone, he let Gamora believe his quest was over because he loved nothing, before telling her "I love you" by trading her life for the soul stone. Every single time he would secure a victory in the movie, he would first let his opponent think they had. Then he would take it away.

It was kind of the main theme of the character so I'm at a loss when understanding how anyone missed that. That was Thanos in a nutshell: making you believe you'd won before taking it all away.

Corvus literally says "let him have his fun" because he knew Thanos was letting Hulk believe he could beat him, only to humiliate him brutally. There wasn't even interpretation needed there, it was directly stated that Thanos was letting Hulk believe he could hang with Thanos, when the reality is he can't, at all.

I'm kinda dumbfounded that anyone missed what amounts to the central theme of his character; he's sadistic and wants people to feel victory before forcing them to deal with loss.

"Dread it. Run from it. But in the end, destiny arrives." His entire arc was based around the notion that "the moment you think you've won, is the moment I proclaim victory".

At those power levels things will never make complete sense. It was an epic scene, though.

We do not know what went into the forging of StormBreaker other than the concentrated power of a star but it absolutely makes sense that the dwarves, as presented hold the keys to powerful weapons that would be forged by the likes of Odin and Celestials and other beings that would be able to fight Thanos, Gauntlet or not.

There's an element of that, sure. Thanos is a sadistic bastard at times. But he's also supremely arrogant(not completely without justification)and in the case of Thor with That Storm Breaker Look in his eye, it bit him in the ass. Thanos completely underestimated Thor because he had beaten him so easily the first time. Remember what Thor says to Trash Panda?

"He's never fought me twice".

The first time they fought, Thor was still recovering from the beating he took during Ragnarok; this was actually confirmed by the Russos themselves. By the time of the rematch, Thor is back at full strength and wielding one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Thanos thought he could curb-stomp Thor like he did in the first match, not realising this was Healthy, Motivated, Full Training Camp Odinson. When Thor drives Storm Breaker into Thanos' chest, the Mad Titan isn't playing possum. It takes everything he has to pull out the win, and he goes through a near-death experience doing so.

 

[Cojopi Extomino]

I think the idea behind StormBreaker was making it a weapon on par with the gaunlet itself, not really the stones. It was made in the same forge so even though it didn't have the infinity stones powering it, if anything was gonna put a dent in the actual gaunlet itself, it would be StormBreaker.

And even then it still needed an upgraded God level of power to wield it. Plus the one thing they made clear about the gaunlet was it physically had to be activated to be used. There was no "instant thoughts" in terms of using it. He had to physically aim it when using the power stone. So if anything would have a chance, it's something of equal strength catching Thanos before he's able to fire the power of a stone. And I'm fine with it out-powering the Power stone, because it's Super-Thor with a new super weapon. If all Thanos needed to beat that, was one stone, there wouldn't have been much of a movie.
