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.

Solution: Thanos uses the Reality Stone or Time Stone to just make more of himself, and each Avenger gets to kill exactly one Thanos, no more no less. No stealing other people's Thanos just because you killed yours too quickly.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Though being killed multiple times over would diminish Thanos' unstoppable behemoth stature. He handed the Hulk his ass on a platter, a Physical God with an incredibly powerful weapon made for the task couldn't kill him outright. When Thanos is eventually brought down I can't see it through being physically overpowered. It took psychic powers and magic to even temporarily stall him and even then not for long.
"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."It's implied there is some sort of passive buff to all the stones. The ones we see Thanos get in the film give him some sort of powerup just by placing them in the Gauntlet, which fits with the comics. Of course, Titans are supposed to be superhuman just as a baseline, so even with no enhancements Thanos should be dangerous. Their planet had really heavy gravity in the comics; presumably all the talk of gravitational anomalies in the film is to handwave that away for comic nerds who pay attention to that sort of thing.

The best animated Hawkeye is Earth's Mightiest Heroes Hawkeye.
Hell, even the live action version of Clint that you're all determined to deride pulled off that gambit successfully on Loki.
Truly, only Rob understands his greatness.
One Strip! One Strip!Hawkeye delivers the final blow but it's actually Captain Marvel and not Hawkeye at all.
This song needs more love.Kate Bishop is best Hawkeye, followed closely by Clint Barton best Hawkguy

A Subreddit Dedicated to Thanos Is Preparing to Ban Half of Its Users at Random

Man, I wouldn't even be mad if that happened to me on a Thanos-dedicated forum. Perfectly balanced.
I hope the impending ban-ees at least have a chance to say they don't feel so good, or that it was the only way.

Hilarious as that would be, it would make more sense for it to be either Gamora or Nebula (as revenge for their entire lives and culminations of their character arcs) or Tony or Steve (partly as culmination of their arcs, but mostly because they're the biggest heroes around).
Hawkeye better have something important to do in Avengers 4, though.
