AVENGERS 3: INFINITY WAR (April 27, 2018)

Where is the Soul Stone?

[Eurell]

Unaccounted for I think. Running theory is that its in the vibranium meteor in wakanda.

[Serra]

Heard one theory that it was the orange-skied planet we see in the trailer.

Some of the Black Panther interviews I've seen make me doubt that it's in Wakanda.

[Xno Kappa]

Yeah. After watching Black Panther I for sure thought it was in Wakanda. But then a few interviews later they seem to all but flat out deny it.

[kuronosan]

I think they specifically said there are no more stones on Earth.

[Serra]

I read the one where they said they didn't want to put two 'macguffins' in Wakanda, but haven't seen that one.

There's still always the possibility they're just misleading everyone though.

Infinity War:

Spoiler: show

The entire third act of the film will be the Battle of Wakanda. The heroes will be protecting the Mind Stone from Thanos. Interestingly, they were specific to say the Mind Stone and not Vision.

Heroes will die, and they are not coming back. "People should be careful what they wish for."

That bothers me. Because it is not being faithful to the comic.

[Rulke]

MCU =/= comics tho

Thanos' True Motivations

Spoiler: show

It's Not Death

Spoiler: show

He’s from a planet called Titan that’s no longer inhabited because of things that he thought he could help prevent, and he was not allowed to do that,” Feige says. “What he feared most happened, and the planet and everybody on it basically went extinct. He vowed not to let that happen again. He thinks he sees the universe going down the tubes. He thinks he sees life expanding outward unchecked. That will bring ruin, he believes, to the universe and to that life.”

"When you see the relationship with Gamora and you see that evolves, God I wish I could tell you. I can’t! When [directors Joe and Anthony Russo] came up to me after we had done maybe three quarters of the film, they said, “It wasn’t necessarily intended that you feel for this guy as much as you do.” Obviously he has a grand plan, like somebody who’s pulling in kids for their own selfish bloodshed. But he has a capacity to love very much and very deeply. You need that for a character like this because if he’s just a cackling madman bent on destroying everything, it’s less interesting.

"He’s different from his family. They’re all Titans and they all look similar, but he was born deformed. You see how he grew up, you see he was like the Quasimodo of this time, or if you’ve ever read Perfume [Patrick Süskind ‘s 1985 novel about a serial killer who craves beautiful scenes but is disgusted by the smell of humanity], it’s a great parallel to Thanos. He stuck out. He was an anomaly. He was a freak. And that lent to this apparent insanity."

"You want to write him off as insane, and yet what he’s doing makes sense, if you break it down. You think of overpopulation and killing half the universe in order to save the other half and all this kind of stuff. You have this struggle watching him. It’s this love-hate thing, you know? So I don’t know … Who in our society do we love and hate? You see this lughead and this guy who you pigeonhole right from the first cosmetic reaction to him. And what I see is this in this guy’s eyes. This super, super, super intelligence. There’s this constant contrasting thing about this Neanderthalic lughead who’s way more intelligent than anybody else in the movie, by far."

Maybe the gold chick from GotG2 has the soul stone and is using to create "Adam. . . . .

[Zealot]

Ayesha having the Soul stone to use for Adam Warlock would make a world of sense except that Guardians 3 is after Avengers 4 and I haven't heard anything about Warlock debuting before then.

Maybe by the time Thanos takes the stone, the work has gone far enough for her to finish on her own? Tbh I don't know a lot about he stones except that if you have all of them you're basically a god.

[kuronosan]

No.

[6souls]

Hi-res Caps

Spoiler: show

[Dantrag]

Still don't know why they decided to make Thanos not in his armor.

So instead of...

Spoiler: show

A guy who was obsessed/infatuated with Death and tries to impress her by wiping out half the Galaxy, he simply was (most likely) picked on for being a deformed Titan which drove him insane which caused him to look at the galaxy as being over populated and so the best solution is to destroy half of it...

[Katlan]

I haven't been following the thread too closely for good reason, has it been confirmed or denied if Thanos is still the big bad for the 2nd film?

So basically my worst fears come true. This is not going to be anywhere near as epic as the original comic.

[kuronosan]

How is that a fear? There's no way it could be as epic in such a short time.
