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.

According to Word of God, the snap affected plants and animals, so it should probably affect microbial life too.
There is no way to shut those people up.
Nothing will ever convince them that what Thanos did is actually wrong.
The reasons will vary, but they will always believe him to be right.
One Strip! One Strip!For example:
Thanos is not Tony Stark

One Strip! One Strip!I mean the whole thing is very difficult to establish exact rules for. How do you define a lifeform?
What rule is in place to ensure that eukaryotic organisms disappear entirely instead of just having half of their cells disappear? If it's shared genetics, then would identical twins or clones always disappear together because the snap considers them a single organism? If not, what happens to conjoined twins if one is marked for death but the other isn't? Do gut bacteria and other "foreign" cells always disappear when their host disappears? How about mitochondria? If Pando
got marked for death would the entire forest just disappear all at once?
It also operates on a species-to-species basis (otherwise very few sentient lifeforms would disappear, the bulk of the casualties would just be quadrillions of microbes), so what happens to monospecimens, hybrids, or other lifeforms that blur the concept of "species"?
And that's just the biological conundrum. I've already asked how the snap decides what articles of clothing, weapons, and other personal effects disappear with their owner.
Obviously the answer is just that the snap uses some kind of fuzzy, intelligent logic here, but it is strange to consider.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!So, James Gunn is writing (and possibly directing) Suicide Squad 2 and it looks like Dave Bautista is jumping ship and going with him:

Can he do that? Will he end up breaking his contract? Does this effectively kill Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?
Thoughts?
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.Meh. Drax is easily my least favorite Guardian.
Also he can do what he wants.

This song needs more love.Expressing enthusiasm for a friend and a desire to work with him again in the future is hardly an indication that he intends to “jump ship” or break contract.
Bautista already stated that he would only do that if Disney throws out Gunn’s script altogether, which they’ve already publicly stated will not happen.
Calm yo asses

The tenseness in my gluteus has rescinded.
....Man, I hate the name of that trope. Who can even remember those words?
I don't know which of you came up with it, but you should must be an evil person. Just admit it.
One Strip! One Strip!Well, Groot has died twice.
If he's so irreplaceable, maybe stop murdering him.
One Strip! One Strip!

Will the microverse be afected by the snap? just some random tought in my head.
