Just one question to those who've seen it and it's not really a spoiler question, more of a character interaction question. Do Tony Stark and Rocket get the opportunity for a verbal sparring match at all? Please tell me they wouldn't pass up a snarkfest like that!!!!sigpic Oh then, what's this?

I am disappointed in Thanos. At the end of Avengers he smiles at the court death comment, in keeping with his character in the books, and nothing he does in any of the other scenes conflicts with this, but in this all he wants to do is wipe out half of the universe so that he can go home and watch a sunset. Talk about insulting the source material!

Ok, remember ... Spoiler section...
I liked it a lot and am amazed at how well Marvel handles these huge ensembles. So many great unexpected team-ups as different characters head off together to take on the next task. As far as Thanos' motives... Almost every superhero movie has a villain wanting to take over the world/universe. They had to run out of reasons eventually. At some point, I just go along with it because, hey, what else would a villain want? Admittedly, the stakes have been raised to this level so many times that it doesn't carry any emotional weight anymore, but for a comicbook movie, it's fun escapism and Marvel has captured that old Marvel feel about as well as anyone could ask.
Regarding the mass "wiped from existence" scenes at this chapter's close, with each one I was thinking, Eye of Agamoto or some other macguffin to alter that outcome. No way they are going forward without some of those returning. I haven't read the books so I don't know... Some of you might know how that turns out.
Just how close is the movie adhering to the comics?Comment

My bet is what we're getting is a split in the MCU, where the NuMarvel characters can "exist" in the MCU reality.
I think that's what Strange was alluding to - alternate worlds were a variant group of the MCU heroes are able to beat Thanos. In other words, energy never dies, it just transforms. So the energy lost in MCU Prime transfers to cross alternate realities into a new one. That would explain how the Capt Marvel storyline is set in the 90's but connects to A4. She either existed and transcended, or she's from an alternate reality. Like a variation on the Strange/Dormmamu fight: Thanos wipes the field and new heroes are reborn each time, with a different mix carrying over. It would be a quick way to populate the MCU with variants of the same character that could exist on the Disney streaming app, while not deluding the original.Comment

As I sat through the Ending, watching random Characters disappear, a thought crossed My Mind that the Characters that remained actually didn't survive, but now exist within the Soul Gem...now THAT would be a f#cked up twist if it unravels like that.Everyone is Entitled to MY Opinion...Your's, not so much!Comment
