#Infinity Gems

The X-Men in Infinity War ♾️

Reed Richards summons all the hero teams to a meeting at the Baxter Building. Even Alpha Flight.

Possibly went overboard there, but events are more than they seem. X-Factor are there too, for twice the mutant!

Once everyone has arrived, Reed starts telling people that he was attacked by a doppelganger (who he killed) and also he's picked up some technobabble readings that nobody understands. Wolverine defeated a doppelganger of his own and sniffs out Iron Man and Reed as fakes. Love the power move of blowing cigar smoke in Fake Tony's face.

Fake Reed sets off a gamma bomb. It explodes but nobody dies, thanks to The Invisible Woman. Somehow they all figure out they need to go help Galactus and Wanda and her magic buddies prepare a teleportation spell.

While everyone is standing around trying to sound important Beast orders 14 pizzas, which seems like nowhere near enough. I like that he's ignoring everyone.

Anyway, they send their strongest and most seasoned. Also Havok. The pizza arrives after all this lot leaves, well played Dr McCoy.

Another doppelganger fight happens while the A Team are fighting... Space bad guys. Look a lot of nonsense happens okay.

Some Thanos/Adam Warlock nonsense happens, but you can still see the X-Men there in the border. Galactus thinks it's interesting. It might be the Soul Stone? It's really hard to tell what's going on.

Infinity Gems nonsense happens, and the squad have the honour of being in God's trophy room. Puck is there too. Then, with more technobabble than a Star Trek TNG episode...

Even more nonsense happens and then they win, or at least they're there when Thanos and Adam Warlock win. I agree with Chuck, Jean and Logan. Still, it's nice to be included.

Big news for SamBucky shippers.

Marvel has a new branded comic for their Christian Louboutin collabo by Paul Allor and Nick Roche, it's pretty fun and different from the way these things normally go.

Christian is split into six by the power of the Infinity Gems Infinity Stones and Green Christian ends a battle by making everyone think of the most important thing in their lives...

...and Sam thinks of Bucky!!!

December 1977. Given how much Marvel has since pushed Adam Warlock, Thanos, and the Infinity Gems, it's somewhat ironic that Jim Starlin's original Warlock series was rather ignominiously canceled before the story was complete, leaving the conclusion to play out in THE AVENGERS Annual #7 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE Annual #2 in the fall of 1977, both magnificently illustrated by Starlin and Joe Rubinstein. Continuing the story into the latter Annual required Starlin to frame his finale as, improbably, a Thing/Spider-Man team-up, but it's Mar-Vell (whose series Starlin had also written and drawn for a while) who delivers the full-page eulogy for Adam Warlock, a minor Kirby character whom Roy Thomas and Starlin had transformed into a tortured cosmic figure, driven by truly existential angst.

Given that Thanos' plot in this story had involved using the combined power of the six Infinity Gems (here still called "Soul Gems") to blow "every star out of the heavens," leaving Adam's vampiric Soul Gem just lying on his grave seems a trifle irresponsible, but at this juncture, Warlock is dead, Thanos has been reduced to a literal monument to his own folly, and none of the survivors understands the full power of the gems. Also, they don't know that the souls of Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip the Troll, taken by the Gem before their deaths, now reside in the idyllic landscape of Soul World.

Starlin would subsequently write the end of Mar-Vell in the memorable THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL graphic novel in 1982, which returned Thanos as a kind of psychopomp. Alas, Thanos subsequently became too commercially important a villain (in the comics and later in the dreary live-action movies) to ever stay dead or truly learn from his mistakes.

Day 03/31 - Marvel Month - Nemesis - According to the Wiki, this is the creator of the Infinity Gems, made out of their loneliness in the cosmos. Forged for the sake of making other beings. The poetry of this really captivated me.

According to Thor, he's spent the time between Age of Ultron and Ragnarok searching through the cosmos to find the Infinity Gems. All those visions of Asgard in peril and his takeaway was, "Ooh, fetch quest." Good job, Thor.

I'd love to have gotten a Marvel Short about Thor's ill-conceived and ultimately futile Infinity Gem search. Just wandering around places like Knowhere and Hala asking people, "Have you seen any Infinity Gems? I'm looking for an Infinity Gem. Do you have one?"

Collector seething with rage.

Trying to negotiate with the Xandarians for their Gem and failing.

I'm trying to find this pepperstony fic which is like 90% smut. I don't really remember the details of the smut but Steve's kinda like Pepper and Tony's boytoy (I think). Anyways, the fic ends with them waking after a night of sex and Steve making breakfast and taking Morgan to school. I've been trying to find this for a while and I just need to know if it has been deleted so I could stop searching

I don't think this is right at all but it's the closest I could find:

Does anyone know what this could be?

And Beyond (ao3) - AlchemyAlice T, 32k

Summary: In which death isn't exactly what Tony expected it to be, Natasha finds gainful employment, and Steve finds a home--and a path forward--where he least expects it.

Endgame fix-it.

Even if some of these movies/shows are utter delights and truly spectacular - perhaps you’d have wished to see a more faithful adaptation instead of “in name only.”

Or maybe the movie/show is a complete waste of the source material. Let me know!
