MCU: Avengers: Infinity War

[Covert Rain]

I really hope its Tony. Hes had his run and his act is a little tired and Cap is easily the strongest character amongst the bunch... which sadly might be why he bites the bullet because I.T would be the most impactful.

But, theyve also been playing a long game with Banner not wanting to be who he is, so maybe they make him the sacrifice while not killing the two golden geese of the franchise.

I think from an emotional perspective you are right on. He is my favorite of all the characters.

They did a really masterful job making the Boy Scout Of The bunch be the guy everyone came to love over the bad boy.

Yep. To fly my nerd banner, when people question how I could have fun playing a Lawful Good fighter in D&D, I point to Cap and say "Lawful Good doesn't mean Lawful Boring."

I doubt they kill anyone off. The only time i think they kill someone off is within their own film.

Hate to break it to you but they’ve pretty much said characters are going to die in this film.

Well then OK...

lol.

Yeah, the only way they can really pull off just how terrifying Thanos is after 20 freaking movies is to see actual STAKES raised when he shows up... and that's not by sidelining someone... it's by killing them until they are dead.

And someone that's going to make fans HURT. I'm curious to see how big Marvel's balls are here.

Also read they could just retire the character. Not kill them off. If someone is going to die, I think it will be Vision as he is powered by an infinity stone.

Spoiler

If memory serves me correctly, just about everyone dies in the comic version.....

I am guessing average size. I have a feeling it’s going to be a switcharoo type scenario with different Earths coming into play or time travel using one of the stones. They may kill off a character or two but something tells me it won't be mass carnage.

I will be PISSED if time travel or different earths is the get out of jail free card for a major death in these movies. They've played the fake out death just one too many times at this point, IMO.

It's weak... and quite frankly, lazy writing. Not that most of the viewing public would care. But as a writer, it's a little insulting. Everyone involved in these movies is making a BAJILLION dollars. It would be nice if they actually had the stones and spent their time earning it.

It's why I love TDK so much. That movie had FREAKING BALLS. They killed Batman's beloved... and actually made it his HIS fault because he bought the Joker's plan. That gave SERIOUS STAKES for the emotion throughout the movie. It gave Alfred a truly questionable thing to do, burning the letter from Rachel and then had the balls to PAY THAT OFF in the next movie, calling that moment back for Alfred to give a hail mary to stop Batman from facing Bane and then irrevocably destroying their relationship. Sure... it cheated out a little at the end, but it still made for REALLY great emotional scenes that gave weight to the trilogy.

I know Marvel travels in a different sphere from the Nolan-verse, but they have a chance to elevate their universe in this movie. They've built up a baddie that's taken 20 MOVIES to get to. To undercut him with a fake-out death would just feel super cheap to me.

In all fairness Rachel's character wasn't that big of a deal. In the Batman mythos she is not someone people latched onto like a main character like Cap. I totally agree with you that it would be a cheat. I have mixed feelings about it. I would be perfectly satisfied if for example one character bit the dust and the rest were cheats. I don't need complete and total decimation of the team to feel satisfied. Yet someone has to eat it. ALL of these characters are beloved IMO so even one dying would have an impact emotionally.

My prediction? Two deaths and the rest are OK. I could be totally wrong but that's my guess.

But I'm not talking about the mythos. She's a big character in the movies and the universe Nolan created. And more important, she was a HUGE CHARACTER FOR BATMAN. That's why it was important... and quite frankly shocking. Because of the effect her death played on EVERYONE, Batman, Dent, the Joker pulling off his plan. AND it effected Bruce not just in the moment but moving forward, moving him to retirement and ultimately leading to another great moment where he and Alfred break up. It was a moment that had MASSIVE stakes not just in the moment, but moving forward.

Besides... when does the superhero's main squeeze EVER die in the movies? Craptacular Spiderman 2 did it, but no one gave a damn at that point (and yes, I know Gwen died in the comics, but we're talking movie-verses here so back off nerds!).

and yeah... if at least one of the characeters in Infiniti STAYED DEAD, that would raise the stakes, while bringing a host of others back through shenanigans. The series needs a game-changer... definitely not monetarily, but thematically. They need one... or at least I do at this point. Loki's been killed twice, the rainbow bridge has been destroyed... and magically put together, Fury's been fake killed, Coulson's been fake killed.

Have some balls and do something REAL. That's what I want to see after 20 freaking movies.

probably gonna be Vision... they cannot display his full power anyway...and the fans will not revolt...but scarlet witch will.... maybe she dies too

they aint gonna kill Hulk... you cant kill Hulk,...hell, even the writers cant kill Hulk... but there is supposed to be an upcoming Black Cap?? Heard they were skipping Bucky.... so Cap will likely die in this one too.

Bucky was seen in the last credit scene in black panther. They wouldn't have shown that if he wasn't going to be in the movie.

100 percent agree. My call is Cap, Tony, and Vision, although I think Tony dies in the 2nd one.

You forgot Groot. Groot died.

Except they kind of brought him back through little groot.

I agree, but Groot did actually die.

Baby Groot is his son.

Yeah I saw that earlier but that was never really explained in the movie so I’m guessing most of the public doesn’t know that.

James Gunn is great.

Groot's a clone

in the movie yes,... but not taking over as Captain America

 

[Town Drunk]

He gave an interview a year ago where he said the show runners basically told him he’d be taking over as Cap at some point.

ah, are they gonna go that route again now?? always so much speculation... been reading they were gonna skip Bucky as Cap..and go straight to Isaiah Bradley.... cool, Bucky deserves some screen time as a good guy
