Kirk would fail that test for sure

Nonsense, Kirk ordered dozens of red shirts to their doom over the years. He’d pass with flying colours.

Everything happened the way that Dr Strange wanted it to happen

Dr. Strange wanted them to miss their chance of getting the glove by letting Star Lord freak out?

The end game would have been them getting the glove from them.

God he looked fucking weird with those dyed eyebrows in the first movie.

I bet Doctor Strange looked at all the bad outcomes first and then saw a good outcome and stopped. But he stopped at the worst good outcome.

Maybe he realised that simply wasn't possible? what the Starlord freakout did do though was let the good guys know about Thanos's feelings for Gamora which I would imagine is likely to play into the climax in the sequel.

@MayhemMonkey I just saw this Avi request you made.

Here you go bro~

The original clip was really wide but short... & so I had to cut most of the sides out.

This is the original

Pew!

Right, I’m thinking of the wrong test. I was thinking of the command test from TNG where you can only be a command officer if you’re capable of ordering an officer on a mission that will end in their certain death. In season 7 Troi had to order a holographic Geordie to fix a warp core breach that would kill him in the process.

you made me think of a scenario I was asked during some training...

You're in the command of a platoon of soldiers (let's say 40) and you're stuck behind enemy lines. You have two paths you can take to escape and make it back to friendly territory.

The first path is dangerous and there's a 50% chance of everyone dying in the attempt and 50% chance of everyone making it.

The 2nd path is 100% success chance but you have to leave 5 soldiers behind to cover their escape. Those 5 soldiers are guaranteed to die.

Which one would you pick?

Since I don’t know any of these guys or have personal relationships with any of them I’ll choose to leave the five behind. It’d be much harder if you knew them all, in which case you take a page from Sargent Slaughter’s book:

That's something western military's have always tended to claim they avoid is it not? suicide missions, probably not true in reality but its been pushed as an ideal hasn't it? especially relative to say the Nazi's in WW2.

it was a question posed during a leadership training program I was taking.

One of my classmates (who was in a leader position in the Army) said that he would pick the "leave 5" and guarantee the lives of the 35 on any given day and he'd be one of the 5 left behind. not sure if there is a right or wrong answer but it's as good as any...

 

[Fatt Hughes]

No, it's true.

Wakanda soliders dying or possibly dying in the back ground... fuck it, let's quip.

Hey! Coaches coach.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

did they play Led Zep in IW?? if so I totally missed it lol

Dis teh clip from Ragnorok I waz talking about.



I'll just go on record right now & say that I feel that's one of them most bad assed scenez in this genre. The song threw it over the top. Everything worked. I don't care who knows it. That sh*t did it for me.

haha... Anywayz... the scene from your avi reminded me of it cause Thor is turning a battle by showing up in the lightning bolts & then kicking major ass.

 

[Johnson]

his character is pretty consistent to the one shown in Vol 2.... and I enjoyed his part in that. I dont get what you were expecting?

oh and he also turns invisible.... although that should be air quoted lol

Drax isn’t a comedic character.

I get that the movies aren’t the comics, but Drax is not the least bit funny normally. He literally exists to kill Thanos in the comics, and at one point he punches through Thanos’s chest and rips his heart out.

Props to your classmate, that's a Captain America quality answer.

"Immigrant Song" was overdone. IW should have used the opening riff from "A Whole Lotta Love."

The version you know tho, not this version:


Althought the How the West Was Won version of "Immigrant Song" had that hot Middle Eastern vibe to its swolo:

Yeah the characters are a bit different but overall they are pretty accurate to the comics. Out of all of them I think Gamora is the most changed. That is not a sentimental girl lol.

I understand that, but this is the character that has been presented previously..... if he just suddenly stopped being that character more people wouldve complained

Right from the start in the Guardians films he is naturally a supporting character as well relative to Peter and Gamora or even Rocket so it isn't really a supprise he's not given a lot of focus in a film with a cast this size.

The other obvious Zep/Thor song for me would be...
