ok. So if Doctor Strange or someone spends a couple minutes relaying Thano's backstory and it is exactly as you say there are you then good with him not killing any major Hero's just as in the CBU? Because I do think his backstory will be largely the same.

I know Thanos from the comics, so I'm happy enough to accept his record. I don't need to see a KO reel. But I would prefer to see Thanos do major damage to the Heroes. Just for a start, he can kill off Vision; he needs the Mind Stone anyway.

Well I think we would both like to see Thanos do some major damage and I think the MCU has the perfect reason (certain characters will need a reboot as the new characters emerge in the next phases) to do so.

What I was finding strange was the comments that CBU Thanos was such a bad ass without major A level super hero finality kills and saying that MCU Thanos would not be a bad ass unless he did have major A level super hero kills. even assuming the same backstory. It was the inconsistency?
 
Who was resurrected and goes by Red Hood now.
fuck. Just ignore whatever happened after the the 90s then.
What a load of shit. He will always be dead to me.
 
You know Sherdog Rules: pics or GTFO:)
its in the specific thread BRAH.
You can check me up, I'm ripped and can bench the 220... but beware:
I was joking, I'm 100% straight.
 
Ok well I could see the MCU doing that too. He could kill a bunch off and then we see them rise or come back in some way. I think the MCU would go there but that is not what many in this thread are saying. They want finality of death in the MCU of major hero's which is something we really did not get with Thanos in the CBU.

So I was questioning why people seem to call Thanos a big bad in the CBU without those major finality hero kills and yet say he needs that in the MCU to be a true big bad.

One thing to consider though is that mainstream movie viewers aren't the same as comic readers, there does tend to be a limit to how much of a character they want to see and honestly there's also surely a limit to how many characters Marvel can juggle at once as well?

To me it seems like Marvels plan was to introduce a core of Iroman, Cap and Thor in phase one, mostly work with them in phase two and then start introducing a lot of new names in phase three who can potentially take over post Infinity Wars.

I think there intension will always be to try and avoid a reboot of the whole MCU for as long as possible and the best way to do that is probably to avoid sticking with characters who audiences feel are getting stale.

Ya I agree with that. But again I was more responding to the guys on this site who do know the comic book history of Thanos. And who seem to think CBU Thanos is a true bad ass villain despite very few legit, no resurrection kills and yet keep saying for MCU Thanos to be a true bad ass villain he MUST have some legit, no resurrection kills.

I was confused by the inconsistency and that expectation.

You keep saying that if a character gets killed and resurrected that somehow taints thanos. No one thinks like you. Does superman being resurrected make doomsday less badass?

Just stop because no one is buying that shitty logic. Thanos is the marvel Goat villain.

you wont get finality in anyones death in the comics or movies if they are cool character. Point still stands about thanos
 
Damn. I respect your opinion on here but I'm still waiting. Glad you enjoyed it

My review is in the Ragnarok thread. For me, the movie is an almost perfect balance; the humour is necessary to counterpoint some very dark sequences. The money fight between Thor and Hulk is glorious. Probably the best fight scene in MCU history. Blantchett's Hela was so fucking cool there were points in the movie I was almost cheering for the psycho bitch.

lol. You are funny because you are so dumb.

Do I need to quote upthread in this VERY THREAD where I was quoting and replying SOLELY to others who were saying that the hero's need to get dead and stay dead (no bullshit resurrections) for them to consider Thano's a true big bad?

That was NEVER my contention you twit. I was reply to it and asking WHY THEY NEED THAT in the MCU when that was never the fact in the CBU.
 
We need a death pool on whose sleeping with the fishes in either movie. I say Tony, Bucky, and Widow.

I personally never said they should stay dead. I just want him to have some kills in this movie even if they are brought back threw Resurrection I still count it has him having a legit kill

i agree. Again that was not my issue. It was others saying he needs a body count of big name hero's and no bullshit resurrections that I replied to. First off big name hero's rarely get killed off and if/when they do there is often some form of retcon to bring them back later.

As I stated I hope the MCU uses this story line to purge some of the highest paid actors who are fatigued at carrying these movies and uses it to elevenate and introduce the newer and upcoming Avengers. The MCU is getting too heavy with too many characters now and Thanos is the perfect purge and reset for many of them. Kill off Iron Man and reboot the series again after the planned waves of movies end.

So if this is a heist movie...does that make Thanos the Godfather and the Black Order his crew of Made Men?;)
