It'd also make everything about her story pointless.

[up] Not every death has to be significant you know.

And even so, she could come back to life.

Hers does, given that she's one of the character's who's most connected to Thanos and what her story has been thus far.

It's not like we're talking about Ant Man here (no offense intended to Ant Man BTW, it's just that he has no connection to Thanos whatsoever, so he doesn't need a big dramatic death in a movie like this for example).

Her coming back to life wouldn't matter much if she misses out on getting to do anything of note in the big events.

So, are they setting up Hawkeye to have a Big Damn Heroes moment in Avengers 4 when he swoops in and saves the day because Thanos thought he was so unimportant he ignored his existence, and didn't take precautions against him? I rather hope so. Not only would it be a nod to Comics!Hawkeye saving the world from the Gamemaster, it would be a nice 'fuck you' to everyone who wanted Hawkeye to die just because they didn't like him or see any value in him.

Even though they weren’t specifically mentioned in the spoilers, do we think Nebula & Tony die?

[up] I’m here for that.

Peace is the only battle worth waging.

It sounds like the entire original team plus a few others survive. Nebula has barely been mentioned at all but I haven't seen anyone say that she dies.

> Hawkeye isn't in it. I look forward to the memes that spawn from this.

He's too busy farming to worry about Thanos

To clarify, I hate the idea of the Red Skull coming back.

The Gamora sacrifice idea is kind of interesting, but not really a fan of her being killed off, especially if permanent. Feels like a fridging, especially because I feel like since Gamora and Nebula are his children, at least one of them should be alive and working to stop Thanos, and if anything, Peter is the one who should be killed. Temporarily. But still.

Also dislike the killing of Valkyrie, the other Asgardians, and presumably poor Korg too. If permanent, that makes Thor Ragnorak completely pointless.

I like that spoiler regarding Dinklage's character. That's clever.

Okay I just looked and at some point Nebula was captured and torn apart by Thanos... but that has never stopped her before and pulls herself back together and escapes. She is specifically shown escaping but isn't mentioned after so she will almost certainly play a large role in A4.

Is it wrong that I'm kind of looking forward to Agents of SHIELD being affected by this? Just half of the characters randomly turning to ash will be interesting.

Oh and Star Lord joins the body count.

I found this Forbes article that discusses those spoilers, so I guess they are legit. Thankfully no Red Skull, at least judging by the lack of mention.

But yeah, the fact that both Peters die too makes me optimistic that Lying Creator aside, most if not all of the deaths will be reversed.

So it leads to some sort of Ultraman Geed scenario by the sequel?

Quicksilver.

Edit- Serious answer would be Vision, since he's not really alive without an Infinity Stone and since (as I understand it) you would need to have all of the stones in the gauntlet to undo the damage Thanos caused, you couldn't undo his death.

The current rumor for A4 is that there's a time skip (which explains Cassie Lang's new actress) and the survivors (so like, Cap, Tony, Black Widow, Bruce, Hawkeye, Rhodey, Wanda, Nebula, Rocket, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp, and Captain Marvel) use newly-developed tech to go back in time.

I’m thinking Loki is done. Gamora is possible but less likely IMO.

I don't know. It isn't mentioned in that Forbes article though that provides a lot of other spoilers though.

I do understand now though that the "Prelude to Infinity War" comic shows he wasn't killed, so I can understand better why there's so much speculation/interest in him returning in the movie.

The Red Skull spoiler has been confirmed by a member of the press on Resetera so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. However it sounds like it's not immediately obvious that it's him (he wears a cloak) but some could tell by Hugo Weaving's voice so some people may be confused.

Just saw the movie. Good, but need time to absorb.

Loki, Heimdall, atleast half of the Asgardians bite the bullet in the opening. Xandar and Knowhere at targeted off-screen

Gamora is sacrificed to retrieve the Soul Stone by Thanos, which is being guarded, randomly enough, by the Red Skull.

Hulk refuses to appear.

And the biggie, seriously don't click unless you want the ending spoiled. Thanos wins and wipes half the cast from existence. These include: Spiderman, Dr Strange, Drax, Mantis, Star Lord, Black Panther, Groot, Bucky, Falcon, Vision (killed directly by Thanos), Scarlet Witch, Nick Fury and Maria Hill....

There is only one end scene credit, right at the very end.

Overall I really, really like it. Though it did have the same problem as the first Avengers, where it feels a bit draggy in places as they drag the characters around for their next team meet-up and big action set piece. The large cast is juggled well, with the big ticket moments like the deaths and the endings handled with finesse.

Though to be honest, what kinda bugged me was the 'comic book logic' running though some of the scenes. I've never been one to pick apart films, but throughout the fight scene between the Titan team trying to pry the Gauntlet of Thanos - I was just waiting, begging nearly, someone just to chop his arm off... which doesn't happen. And the theres a few other instances of Hollywood Tactics. It's not a real complaint really, just kinda bugged me.
