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.

That the whole "I can stand here all day"(sorry I dont remenber the quote), he give to Tony and uses in first avenger dosent work with Thanos who just punch him in the face once(after beating all the team) and walk away.
Compared with Tony who after making a plan with Starlord(what tony does best) nearly beat him until Peter sudden idiot ball.
Tony make a plan and nearly works, Steve try to stand and tell Thanos to move....and he got punch in the face for is trouble.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I mean it’s not like he could have done anything else.
Thanos’ arrival was a complete shock to everyone & they couldn’t adapt on the fly in time.
Seriously what time was there to plan? Tony was on Titan ready to deal with Thanos himself, Steve was on Earth having to deal with Thanos’ Goddamn army on Wakanda’s doorstep.
I call False Equivalence or whatever’s the right word.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
They could have destroyed Vision, which was the plan Vision himself said it, he said not because he want to stand and fight and....well....it happen.
Also, Cap should have know Thanos itself was coming, maybe not with the gem but it wasnt like he didnt expect it, but Cap have never being much of a pro active fighter, he just did waht it was best, stand and fight.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Arguably Tony also bears the blame in he chose not to return to Earth and reinforce his team with Cap’s, so the lack of “together” is on him too. But it’s debatable whether that would’ve really helped especially since the Guardians wouldn’t be there.
We can just say it’s Thor’s fault for taking his time for some reason while Thanos killed Vision.

Yeah.....what the hell was doing Thor in that moment? he show up, the kills some mooks and them....fly up.
Also, I just watch the movie a few days ago and I forgot how much I love Oyoke look when banner tip the hulk buster and fall, you can see that look is like "T´challa, your friend are embarrasing!" I luagh a lot for some reason.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Strange has no ability to influence whether or not the Earth team kills Vision. By the time he reviews possible futures, he's already on Titan.
So from his position, the Earth team's actions are set in stone. He has a tiny window of opportunity to enact changes to the Titan fight before he dies in like an hour's time.
That's kinda the thing about Strange's pronouncement. By the time he does it, it's too late to make a lot of choices that might have given them better odds.
Maybe if Loki hadn't taken the Tesseract from Molten Asgard, they'd have a better shot. But it's too late to make that choice.
Maybe if Tony and Strange had gone back to Earth, they'd have better odds. But it's too late to make that choice.
Maybe if Cap had agreed to Vision's sacrifice, they could win. But it's too late to make that choice.
Maybe if Gamora had gone with Thor instead of the Guardians, they could win the Titan fight. But it's too late to make that choice.
It's too late to build more Ultrons. It's too late for the Avengers not to fracture. It's too late to send sorcerers to reinforce Wakanda. It's too late to intercept Thanos at Xandar before he gets his hands on the Power Gem. For any possible "out" on their situation, it's too late.
Strange sat down to finish someone else's strategy game and found their team was two turns away from being completely wiped out. And now he's save-scumming to figure out any possible way to make a comeback in the utterly disadvantageous position his colleagues have played themselves into. That's why there's only one desperate way out that he can find; for all intents and purposes, they're already in checkmate.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Strange's "one chance" action on Titan is to trade the Time Stone for Tony's life. That's what saves everything, because it means Tony is alive to do the thing he does in Endgame. Well, and he's alive to perfect time travel, etc. It's amazing how much ends up riding on his shoulders.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"In Thor’s defense, he doesn’t have any communication device. He shows up at the big battle part way through and changes the tide but he doesn’t get the call that Corvus Glaive and then Thanos are behind lines.
He probably only shows up when he does because he noticed everyone vanished on him
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThor showed up when he did because that was when he finished Stormbreaker. Although how he knew to go to Wakanda is beyond me. Thor's never even been to Wakanda. You'd think Avengers HQ would be his destination.
Maybe he did go to Avengers HQ and, like, a temp employee told him everyone went to Wakanda. And then they spent several minutes finagling with a map trying to figure out which part of Africa the secret nation's supposed to be in. Just getting the whole accounting department involved.
And then finally someone had the bright idea to call the Wakandan Embassy that King T'Challa built at the end of his film. But the embassy employees were like, "No, I am not giving out the coordinates of my secret country to Larry from Accounting." So Thor had to Bifrost over there to talk to them directly.

Having the villain express a valid point, even if his solution to it is impractical (never mind horrifying), is not the same thing as "we are supposed to believe that he is morally right". The fact that we have to explain this is depressing.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I said that as a joke, I promise. I should have done the Humor Mode link for that.
The legend has returned.And now I'm just imagining Thor popping into Wakanda like,
- Thor: HEY GUYS I brought Starbu—
- War rages around him
- Thor: ...well. I guess it's time to bring on the day.
x5: Is it possible the Asgardians did know about Wakanda? Unless the barrier is Heimdall-proof I can imagine them knowing and not really caring. But yeah, your point stands. Kinda assumed he was aiming for Thanos (or at least his forces) rather than the Avengers, though the question still ends how he knew. Maybe using the Bifrost gives something like ki-sensing?

In one of the worst moment in MCU is Ao U were Ultron just leave sokovia and Cap plan to save people was just.....punch ultron droid, after that a move people he didnt have a plan, just stay there until Nick bait him out with is near helicarrier ex machina.
The same kinda happen back in civil war just that time the movie kinda make more unconfortable, playing him more as "I need to stand up and fight", is infinity war were it show that "I can be here all day" mean shit if your oponent is already tired of this bullshit.
