Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

The scene of Drax talking to Mantis about his family is easily one of my top three (emotional) favorites in the MCU. The other two being Peter trapped under the building in Homecoming and Steve & Bucky’s final dialogue in Winter Soldier (the “you’re my friend”/“you’re my mission” bit)
PSN ID: FateSeraph | Switch friendcode: SW-0145-8835-0610 Congratulations! She/TheyI'm guessing he will going by the fact Gotg vol 1 had a scene Drax pointedly tells that the person he has to avenge himself upon isn't Ronan, but Thanos.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I thought Drax got some of the best reception following GOTG - in a team with a talking raccoon and Vin Treesel, it was a completely nondescript alien who managed to stand out the most.

"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"
Maybe not, given that there will be a third Got G film coming up...unless it's an interquel like the second one...sort of.
Drax's death would make the most sense but I also wonder if they'd seriously alter the dynamic of the team like that. The one I could most see dying is probably Nebula. She has a personal connection with Thanos and I don't think there's much left to do with her in the Guardians films proper (hell, she was already almost killed off in the first movie).
Nebula is definitely dying. Out of the core guardians (Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Quill and Drax) Drax is the only one I can see dying because of two things A) Big Guy Fatality Syndrome B) He has the least relationships out of any of the main cast (Quill has his UST with Gamora, Rocket and Groot have a bromance going on. Drax just now got Mantis) C) His arc directly relates to killing Thanos.
I can see him dying as a Sacrificial Lion to the Guardians the same way I can see Bruce Banner dying among the Avengers, particularly given he's the one character they can never use for solo movies so he's basically cattle for slaughter. My predictions would be among the Guardians Nebula and Drax die, among the Avengers we lose Hulk, Iron Man and Captain with Thor sticking around as a Retired Badass King of Asgard
If it were up to me, I'd promptly kill Nick Fury and Hawkeye too. Natasha Romanoff: Director of SHIELD.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I saw something on Tumblr yesterday. It was a screenshot of someone's Twitter; their post, and a reply.
OP: The fact that the russo brothers won't give us the title of Avengers 4 because it spoils Infinity War scares the shit outta me!
Reply from the Russos: It should.
Thoughts? I admit I got a bit concerned when someone asked "What if Avengers 4 is called 'The Last Avenger'?" Probably a joke, but...
NO! Don't kill Hawkeye!
He save the universe from the Grandmaster! He saved both the Marvel and DC universes! He deserves fracking respect!
I swear, we need to get some kind of Hawkeye is Awesome Reddit thread or something so we can get more of his feats and accomplishments. Maybe then people will want to see stuff done with him instead of shitting on him.
One Strip! One Strip!This is mostly movie tv gulf but Natasha has thoroughly washed her hands of SHIELD
So has Fury for that matter
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Yes, but DmC also had more interesting setpieces as well.
