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.

I'd be surprised if all of the heroes don't come back to fight Thanos as there's no real reason for them to not. Killing Thanos and bringing the heroes back are two separate goals that don't rely on each other.

This song needs more love.Previously, on The Eternals: we learned that Angelina Jolie is in talks to appear in a lead role.
Now, rumor is The Incredible Hercules himself will be the male lead.
I never knew I wanted a movie wherein Hercules is in space (or at the very least, is fighting against/being buddies with aliens) until now.

While Nebula, Gamora, and Drax have the longest standing claims to defeat Thanos, and it is their primary goal in life, Thor has also caught up in reason to fight - Thanos personally killed his best friend and his brother, and saw to the destruction of half of his race.
I hope they don't pull some BS in having Stark do it.
I would prefer it to be Nebula.
I wonder how they'll do fight scenes if they confront Farmer Thanos, or just in general. Does he still have the Chitauri? I wish Ebony Maw was still around.

Plenty of people have the claim for Thanos' head, but personally I'm rooting for Nebula.
Of all, I think she's the one that suffered the longest in his "care", and there's some delicious irony to the "waste of parts" being the one to deliver the killing blow.
Nice Mythology Gag too, her being the one to technically defeat Thanos in the comics.
Twice.
One Strip! One Strip!Probably to tie into Gamora and Nebula’s situations
She’s the runaway, she’s the screw up, and the rest are the ones that stayed
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI feel like a super satisfying hit for Nebula that isn't her getting the killing blow would be for her to cut off his left hand/arm.
"Not fun, losing your arm, is it daddy?" or "Snap this you big purple bitch"
Or something.
Still yet to see any suggestions funnier than Ant-Man going up Thanos' Thanus and expanding though

This place is careless.

...To be fair, Rocket has a pretty strong claim too.
