Yeah I blocked that site a long time time ago. They spoil shit all the time.

Where would I get my newz then

Smelly Meatball

So at the end a certain character said to some other character "I'm going to Kill Thanos!" The some character responded with basically "That's impossible."

Is it impossible at this point? Isn't the villain they just fought more powerful than Thanos at this point in time?

Ps I'm being vague on purpose

Fignuts 05-09-2017 08:05 PM

I dunno. Ego called himself a god, but he wasn't all powerful or anything. They also probably weren't just referring to Thanos' powet but also his resources. I could see killing Thanos being a larger task than defeating ego.

Lock Jaw 05-09-2017 08:06 PM

Ego may have been more "powerful" but he had a pretty exposed weakness.

Destor 05-09-2017 08:17 PM

Celestials are a few levels above base Titans but the people who said that killing was impossible new nothing about the Celestials

Swiss Ultimate 05-09-2017 08:20 PM

Pretty amazed they outdid the first.

The brain at the center of the planet protected by steel and rock?

Lock Jaw 05-09-2017 08:56 PM

Yeah......

Thanos' brain protected by his hide being stronger than steel and rock. Maybe. I don't actually know.

I think it would be harder to blow up his brain, anyways.

MCU is kind of it's own thing though. Ego being a celestial definitely doesn't mean the same thing as being a celestial in the comics. Guardians wouldn't have been able to touch him otherwise.

Fignuts 05-09-2017 10:06 PM

I mean if you're worried about the scale of the threat in infinity war being less than Guardians 2, don't sweat it. Ego will be an insect compared to thanos once he gets the infinity guantlet assembled.

SPOILER: show
Also, Nebula going after thanos alone is totally setting up for her to be reduced to the decaying zombie mess she was in the comic.

McLegend 05-09-2017 10:20 PM

I know once the Guanlet gets introduced then that's a different story, but I think Ego is more powerful right now.

Thanos just needs his hot insect lady to divulge his weakness, and game over.

road doggy dogg 05-09-2017 10:32 PM

literally felt like I was watching an extended Futurama episode the entire time I was watching this


(I'm okay with this)

Lock Jaw 05-09-2017 10:46 PM

Someone else I know said the same thing..... that it felt like a Futurama episode.....

Ezra 05-10-2017 12:49 AM

That's definitely ok with me as well.

He might be more powerful, but he's not as big of a threat. Thanos is powerful, but what makes Thanos one of the biggest marvel villains is his intelligence, cunning, and ruthlessness. He constantly uses that to best cosmic beings that are more powerful than him.

His weakness in the comics is that in the back of his mind , he knows he's not worthy of omniscience , so he subconsiously provides the heroes with the means to defeat him. He's so effective in what he does that he literally needs to let the heroes win for the story to have a happy ending.

Fignuts 05-10-2017 02:30 AM

If anyone couldn't tell by my nerdsplanations, Thanos is my favorite comic villain.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2017 02:41 AM

I fucking loved this. And if Stallone and his OG Guardian team spins off or gets some time on Vol. 3 that would be awesome.

- Yeah this was shockingly emotional. Almost as emotional heavy as Civil War.

- Yondu breaking down Rocket was a very good scene.

- Hilarious how out of control mean Drax was to Mantis.

- Great to see James Gunn's bro get his part upgraded to a Guardian, even if he'll likely be a water boy.

- Dunno why, but I fucking love Ayesha and her race of douchebags. Of course they'd deal death as an arcade videogame. And Adam fucking Warlock is coming.

- Great dynamic with Nebula and Gamora with the former actually being the softer one back then.

- I really wish Peter could keep some of those powers.

- I expected Ego to go into a villain rant after Mantis hinted at something going wrong. But it went further than 'I'm actually an insane person'. He wants to be a cosmic virus, sired hundreds of kids (Peter's siblings) and killed them when they didn't have the god gene, and also killed his mother in the slowest brutal way he thought up. After that Peter had no words, he just started shooting. Also the villain motivation justifies his name to a T.

- Considering Stark was never quite the same after the first Avengers, a mystery blob coming out of nowhere and swallowing a city block will further push his space paranoia further.

- lol A fucking Zune.

XL 05-10-2017 09:19 AM

So, this story takes place 3 months after the original, therefore before Age Of Ultron and Civil War yet there's no mention/reference to the earth based events that take place in the movie.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2017 11:08 AM

Odd. Though that could be shoed in later.

Ezra 05-10-2017 11:46 AM

Maybe they don't know. At this point I would say it's fair to say they don't have any real earth contacts.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2017 12:47 PM

Can't miss a blob eating a city block. And SHIELD no longer has the resources to hide something like that.

Fignuts 05-10-2017 01:08 PM

Well it's not like anyone is going to travel all the way to earth and be like "hey guys, sorry, that was just this living planet trying to turn you into more of him, but don't worry the guardians of the galaxy stopped him"

They could have if this film is only taking place 3months after the 1st film. It was movie after Winter Soldier but there isnt anything that says timeline wise it didnt take place prior.


Not saying one way or the other but im just saying we dont really have any of that info.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2017 01:41 PM

Imo it doesn't make it a great deal of difference if the movie was three months after or real-time like the rest. Don't think they should have even bothered saying how long time passed. People assume it's real time anyway.

Yeah, nobody is saying that.

Civil War for example makes defence to the New York incident in Avengers, and the events of Age of Ultron, but doesn't mention the giant blobs that came out of nowhere to gobble up cities. It's a plot hole.

XL 05-10-2017 01:44 PM

The "3 months later" thing is from the IMDb page. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference no, but there's a bunch of movies with "insignificant" plot holes that are still talked about.

The sakovia accords were in direct response to superhero related collateral damage. No one on earth knows about the guardians or anything about what goes on out in space. For all they know it was an inexplicable natural disaster. They're not related.

Shadow 05-10-2017 03:50 PM

SPOILER: show
Stan Lee talked about how one time he was a Federal Express agent. This is set after Civil War. Time is different up in space

McLegend 05-10-2017 04:35 PM

Wait we have no idea the actual years the marvel movies take place in.

If you recall In The First Avenger's movie Bruce Banner said he was last in Harlem a year ago. Hulk was made in 2008 and Avengers was made in 2012.

So we can't accurately say what the current year is the marvel universe.

XL 05-10-2017 04:40 PM

There is a timeline. The start of Dr Strange marries up with Iron Man 2, but you're not given anything regarding a timeline following the car accident.

That's not a plot hole, technically. Just a continuity gaff. Neither plots of the Avengers or Guardians series are hurt by this.

Fignuts 05-10-2017 08:30 PM

It's not even a gaff or screw up. So far Avengers and Guardians have been completely seperate, outside of infinite stones and thanos being present. No reason to bring it up in civil war when they wouldn't know what caused it.

Lock Jaw 05-10-2017 10:21 PM

Yeah, it's probably just treated as some weird phenomenon that a bunch of scientists are off studying.

If the Avengers was a team of scientists researching weird phenomenons, then it might be weird that they didn't mention it.

FUCK THIS MOVIE WAS SO GOOD.

Went with my girlfriend last night... we laughed, we cheered, she (we) cried. The wave of emotions was intense.

Story was great. Everything. Drax was hilarious.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend now wants a baby groot to have.... l

I've actually been rewatching Futurama on Netflix and damn I miss this show. Wish they would do another movie or two.
