And the fact he's litirally a Planet Sized Space Titan which kinda makes challeging him a bit too complicated.BreakfastMan said:

I know, it's kind of scary. And even if you somehow manage to cut everything that Disney has their tentacles in out of your life, it still wouldn't make any difference in their bottom line. Oh well, nothing I can do but try to avoid their stuff as best I can.Samtemdo8 said:Do you want to know how impossible it is to boycott Disney?SirSullymore said:
I buy Huggies Baby Wipes to clean myself after I use the toilet. And on the package contains pictures of Micky Mouse on it as part of some promotion/advertisment, so essentially I am giving Disney money for the need of Wiping my Ass after I take a shit
And really it goes to show how much Disney cares about Micky Mouse this day and age when he is on shit cleaning wipes.
Does the MCU really need a third super genius scientist who got his powers because of an accident? I mean between Strange and Banner, we're covered.Natemans said:
I disagree so strongly, Thanos is my favorite Marvel villain. He's not as one-note as you think, if you go back to old Marvel Cosmic stuff. Infinity Crusade, Blood and Thunder, the whole Infinity Watch series, there have been lots of times he was on the good side of a big crisis. Hell, after the whole Gauntlet affair, he was allowed to keep the reality stone by the people tasked with guarding them!BreakfastMan said:
While Thanos' possession of the Reality Gem could grant him virtually anything that he desired, a temporarily resurrected Captain Marvel suggested that Thanos was chosen by Warlock because he was the only being in the universe wise enough not to use it. Having attained godlike status in the past, he simply knew that greater power would not satisfy him. Thanos also knew that the Reality Gem was in its own way the most dangerous of the Gems, and required the simultaneous use of the other Gems to keep its powers under control.
The big turning point for him was when he was rejected by Death. He learned that if he killed everything, that would actually be less souls or whatever for his mistress than if life was allowed to continue to propagate. Think about this: he has obtained total omnipotence before, he could have instantly wiped out the entire universe if he wanted to. The interesting thing is that deep down he knows he doesn't deserve to just win like that, which is how he gets defeated. And then he didn't try that again, because he's the only supervillain who actually learns from their mistakes. People talk a lot of mess about 90s comics, but the Marvel Cosmic line was super dope.
Man, fuck modern Marvel. Mr Fantastic used to be THE super genius, he was canonically the most intelligent human for like 50 years. He's the only human who can look at Galactus' tech and know what's going on. Tony Stark is a glorified mechanic who only gets top billing these days because of the movies.Silentpony said:
I mean, it looks cool and all but I'm disappointed Thanos has become yet another dude who wants to take over the world with his big CGI army. This is like the third one and thats just the Avengers films. Could we not have Thanos just be a dude capable of taking everyone on by himself? Or give him a few super-tough minions like he occasionally does?
1. I doubt movie Thanos is gonna have as deep a lore background as his comic book counterpart.Benpasko said:
2. I hate Tony Stark
Some of the lines dropped give me some (probably misguided) hope that they're gonna use this to totally turn the Marvel Cinematic Universe upside down.
I really enjoy the Marvel movies, but right now, I want to see the Avengers lose, but manage to prevent a total checkmate, thus spawning another "cycle" of Marvel movies where some of them are dealing with a half-destroyed Earth, and the other half are now dealing with the Guardians Verse. You know, REALLY shake things up.
I wanna see Rocket Racoon working with Doctor Strange to protect a half-destroyed city. I wanna see Spider Man and Captain America and The Hulk working together in a space scenario! Black Panther and Iron Man in a Mad Maxx style desert chase film! Ant man and Spider man doing a heist across time and space! Etc!

But you're assuming that that is his goal, to take over the world. Chances are that he doesn't really care about the world and the real reason he is there is because at least two of the infinity stones are on the planet. The mind stone with Vision and the time stone with Dr Strange.
I am pumped for this it's the pay off to a decade of time and 12 movies spent building to this point and due to contract signing and at least two if not three of the first gen characters wanting to move on from Marvel films chances are if their characters are killed off they aren't going to come back through some sort time reset or other superhero muguffin.
So stoked for MCU to be done with! Then maybe we can move on to something else that I'll initially like then quickly become bored of.
But probably not.

IronHeart sucks though. Riri is exactly what's wrong with Marvel Comics currently. Well, Bendis is gone now so hopefully that all changes. Fingers crossed Geoff Johns and Dan DiDio keep Bendis on the shortest leash possible now that he's at DC.undeadsuitor said:
Pandering mostly. Creating new minority characters but giving them no other trait other than being a minority. I'm all up for diversity but it has to be done right.undeadsuitor said:
Dude I'm talking about the state that Marvel has been in the last 5 years. They've introduced plenty of new and diverse characters that have gone fucking nowhere.undeadsuitor said:
Whereas on the DC side of things they introduced Simon Baz who's a really good character. He's Muslim but that's not his only character trait.
I'm just saying they should focus on making good characters and not try so hard to be diverse. Have you read that America comic? About the latina lesbian who's super awesome at everything? My friend who happens to be a latina lesbian told me she never felt more pandered to in her whole life.
