Theory about Infinity War (under the cut)

Spoiler post - DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THIS MOVIE

So, I was chatting in the car with my parents on the way back from seeing the movie. I was an emotional wreck for the obvious reason of Bucky and Steve CRUSHING MY HEART.

However, we began talking about what Strange said, about their odds of winning. He went through 14 million (?) scenarios in the future and came back with 1 that they could win.

Now, we know Strange was not going to give up that Time Stone for a guy he just met, no matter what he was meant to protect it. But here’s the thing, what if the reason he’s giving up the Time Stone is because he knows what has to happen for that 1 chance of winning to work. Strange is a smart guy, he’s not just going to give it up because he knows what the consequences are. Thanos might get what he wants for the time being but it doesn’t mean he has won.

I think the quote Strange says before he disappears off the top of my head was “It has to be this way.”

Does it have to be that way so that they can get that 1 in 14 million chance of winning against Thanos? Food for thought.

SPOILER AHEAD

See this picture? SEE THIS PICTURE EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS TONY HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK UPON MEETING THANOS?

This is actually my son, Anthony Edward Stark, sitting down and CRYING (YES SOMEONE FINALLY CRIED)

because he's fought like a damn hero and pushed to the limits (and holly shit the new armor is a thing of beauty and Tony fights like it was a damn extension of his body) to save everyone

because he's spent the whole movie parenting Peter Parker and trying to keep him safe and DON'T TELL ME THEIR INTERACTIONS WERE NOT DELIBERATELY PLAYED LIKE FATHER AND SON BC IT WAS

JUST TO HAVE THE KID DIE IN HIS ARMS!

So that's Tony Stark sitting down and CRYING because Peter Parker, his actual son, turned to ashes in his arms ALL THE WHILE BEGGING NOT TO GO.

AND THIS IS WHY I'M REALLY FUCKED UP ABOUT IW

B y e

(And here's to hoping he'll be resurrected)

[hedgehog-goulash7]

This might be a bit of a spoiler, so I will tag it as such -- but it’s immensely gratifying that the antis who’ve seen Infinity War are crying bitter tears and calling it “Iron Man 6″ (um -- what was “Iron Man 5,” I wonder?? His spare 15 minutes in “Homecoming”? Antis are so ridiculous...). NOW I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT EVEN MORE.

But also -- as Anthony Russo was signing autographs for us yesterday at the premiere, I said (ONLY HALF JOKING) “Please don’t kill Tony Stark!” And he just looked at me with the biggest grin coupled with an unreadable expression in his eyes, so...I don’t know if that is good or bad, lol. Yikes.

[dizylizy]

infinity war spoilers, but...

anyone planning on making a gifset of tony at the end of IW with that quote from AoU?

“Watched my friends die...you’d think that’d be as bad as it gets, right? Nope, that wasn’t the worst part.”

“The worst part...was that you didn’t.”

❛   hospital .   my  muse  is  told  that  yours  is  in  the  hospital . - Kiryu

𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃  &  𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 ( source. ) & @shininginyourlight

Kiryu-san is in the hospital. It doesn't matter how many times he repeats the sentence in his head, it still doesn't feel real. As if this is all a joke, and when he returns to Japan, Kiryu will be waiting for him at the airport with everyone else. They'll go to Survive and talk about what they've all been through. It sounds unrealistic, and Ichiban knows it, and yet, he can't stop himself from hoping for a better ending.

This has been a possibility ever since Kiryu revealed his diagnosis to him and Tomi, back at the hotel room in Hawaii. It feels like it happened so long ago; no wonder he stopped thinking about it. As though a disease could be cured just by ignoring it.

He's heard the legends about the Dragon of Dojima, the one who killed his patriarch and went to serve time in prison. Ichiban never quite understood what could drive a person to kill the patriarch of their family. Just the thought of doing that to Arakawa causes him distress. Like he could ever point a gun at his father boss.

After meeting him, however, Ichiban knows he must have had his reasons to do so; he's an old-school yakuza, one who values honor above all else. He'd never kill a family member just to gain power. One day, he's going to be brave enough to ask him about it, but right know, he needs to be there for him.

❝ I want to see him. Do you think they'll let me? They have to, right? ❞ As soon as the phone call ends, he turns around to face everyone in the room. They've listened to the conversation, so there's no need to update them on Kiryu's condition. That still doesn't change the fact they all look worried. ❝ Don't worry guys! I am sure he has people by his side, like Nanba and the rest. That's why everything's going to be all right. ❞

He has to believe that. If he panics, the others will follow.

Infinity War Spoilers (I need to vent and word-vomit and I have SO MANY EMOTIONS)

Random thoughts and a ton of spoilers...

Who is/going to be permanently dead:

I’m actually only worried for the following characters: Heimdall, Loki and Vision. Gamora will quite clearly be one of the central figures to bring about Thanos’ demise since they’ve suggested pretty heavily that she’s trapped in the Soul Stone. Also, they can’t make a GotG 3 without her (and of course they’ll make a 3rd one). Plus it goes a long way to explain/lessen their use of the whole ‘kill a woman for all the man-pain’ trope, which would be kinda terrible if that really was the true plan (and I don’t think the Russos would stoop to quite that level). So yeah, Gamora will be fine.

Shuri might fix Vision, but like Jarvis and Groot whose successors are different people, I doubt Vision will be completely the same. Who knows, maybe Shuri did something to download his memories/personality? (One can only hope!)

Loki’s growth throughout the MCU has been huge and he’s now gone full circle: from hero to villain to anti-hero back to hero. He repaired his relationship with Thor, but he killed people in the past and so he has a lot to answer for, plus there’s no plot-driven need to bring him back, his death is good revenge-fuel for Thor (even though a 3rd fake death might be nice and in keeping with who Loki is - the trickster who always gets away - they did really hammer home in the movie that this was for real... doth Thor hammer it home a little too much, though? Mayhap. Or maybe I’m just being naïvely hopeful). Heimdall, as beloved as he is, is a secondary character. Unless they bring ALL of Asgard back - which would be nice, since Thor could kind of go there and rule a less colonial-like version of it for the rest of his days after they defeat Thanos (he’s obviously not going to stay on Earth since Hemsworth’s contract is up), but I don’t know. It would be kind of cruel to erase everything Waititi did in Ragnarok (or maybe that’s why he was able to have so much fun? Because he knew that IW was going to need a destroyed Asguard to work? So he had a lot of freedom to play?)

Those 4 were the only ones not ‘snap’ killed (aside from the Asgardians on the ship - and, yeah, they better not have killed off Valkeryie! I am hoping she’ll turn up in A4? Thanos only killed half of all the Asgardians so I’m thinking she took the survivors to get away when Thanos let them go, and that when they’re safe she’ll come back? Maybe even with Sif? (Doubtful, though)).

As a lot of other people have mentioned, Captain Marvel is in the 90s and there have been rumours of time travel. Those who were snap killed will certainly return so I’m not worried about any of those deaths... But I love Heimdall and Loki, and I’d feel bad for Wanda if Vision didn’t come back.

I hope they do bring them back.

I hope Valkyrie escaped with Korg and some of the others and is keeping them safe on some random planet. T_T

I’m also a little worried for Steve, Thor and Tony, although since they pulled a semi-‘gotcha’ with Tony looking like he was certainly going to die only to survive, and with all their mentions of a wedding and kids, I think they’re done with the ‘is Tony going to die’ drama and just have him retire. It’s been 3 Iron Mans, 2 Avengers and a Captain America of Pepper/Tony angst. CACW was the full break-up drama, and for the past 2 films, Pepper and Tony have been happy. They’re not going leave them in a bad place. It’s a superhero movie, and to paraphrase Deadpool, I doubt they’ll go DC-dark.

Hopefully they’ll let Steve retire too, but that tweet about Buckycap from the Russo brothers could go 3 ways (retired Steve leaves it to Bucky; dead Steve inspires Bucky to become Cap; or the Russos were faking it - they did lie to us via the trailers, they had fake scripts etc so it’s not impossible) so honestly, I don’t know. They might have to kill off Steve. I don’t want that. Let Steve rest. And it might just be plausible for him to do that after he meets Captain Marvel. She and the new generation of Avengers could give him enough peace of mind to let him retire.

I don’t think Thor’s going to die. They just spent this whole movie telling us that Thor continues to want to help people even when he has nothing left. Usually a character like that is axed in the end to ‘be with those he lost’ or some other trope-y nonsense (it’s not a plot ending I usually enjoy, as you can tell...) and I didn’t get that feeling here. I think, even if we don’t see Thor again in the MCU after A4, they’ll have him off-camera either ruling a remade Asgard/rebuilding a home for the remaining Asguardians, or traversing the nine realms, helping people.

By the way, he was, hands down, the best thing about this movie. They kept all the important parts of Ragnarok, I could see them, and they married it so, so, so well to his more serious side. He felt right. It felt like this was him at his fullest potential. The height of this long personal-growth story from Thor 1. I love that Pirate/Angel baby.

The Death reactions:

Everyone is commenting on how Tom Holland nailed his scene, and he did. He 100% totally did. I was weeping for that poor, scared child. It was like a stab to the heart. And for Tony, knowing there was nothing he could do but hold him... oh my gosh. It tore my heart to shreds. A+++ Tom Holland.

A lot of people said similar things about how well done Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany’s scene was. And it did get my feels going, but there were others that hit me just as hard, literally just as hard as the other two: Okoye seeing T’Challa disappear before her, and her cries for him to come back, just as we see Sam disappear, alone, no-one there with him (Rhodes arrives too late to see it happen) and Rocket has to watch, again, as a beloved Groot dies (... and oh jebus he doesn’t know yet that the ENTIRETY of the GotG gang are dead except for him). Okoye lives to serve Wakanda, she loves T’Challa (not romantically, of course), to her he is the embodiment of Wakanda. Her entire being is dedicated to protecting him, her friend, her king and he just... disappears in front of her. The horror in her eyes, the helplessness of her voice as she begs him to come back... I’m tearing up right now.

Don’t even get me started on Steve. Bucky was the first to go via snap death, and I do have a soft spot for him, so it hit me like a ton of bricks; Steve barely had time to register Vision’s second death and their overall failure before he loses the one thing he had left to tie him to his past - one of the few people he really loved (romantically or platonically, however you choose to interpret it, Bucky mattered). Steve Rogers has been through a lot. This sucked. It sucked so hard. All of these characters have lost so much, and Steve’s no exception. And we didn’t even get a BuckyNat moment (not that I’m mad about it, tbh. I’m glad they resolved the Brutasha thing nicely and kept Bruce’s character from Ragnarok (Waititi’s anxious, awkward nerd is so much better than Whedon’s hypocritical jerk nerd). It’d be way too soon to suggest BuckyNat, but I hope maybe to see it in the BW movie and maybe get a hint of it in A4?)

And then there was Drax. Oh my gosh, Drax! I didn’t realise just how attached to him I was until he was disappearing. I was not prepared for his panic, his soft calling out to Quill, not understanding what was happening to him and desperate for Peter to stop it. It was all just so terribly sad. No matter what he says, it just shows how much he looks to Peter as his leader, how much he loves him. I wanted to hug that big lug.

And then of course, there was Thor watching Heimdall and Loki die... I don’t even want to remember that... and mourning his brother? It was, like, the first 5 minutes and already I was balling. Damn you, Marvel. Damn you.

Ok, that’s enough sad talk.

Things I loved:

- Cap, Widow and Falcon’s entrance. So badass. SO BAD ASS.

- Black Widow in this movie. This was like CAWS Black Widow. This is the BW I love. She didn’t have much screen time but every moment felt right with her.

- Thor’s... everything, really. Every second he was on screen, conscious or unconscious. He was funny, kind, breaking stereotypes, powerful, cool, bad ass... he’s my favourite.

- Peter’s pop culture references. And his basing plans on 80s movies.

- Those plans working.

- Ned. He was on screen for 30 seconds and he made me cackle.

- AVENGERS ICE-CREAM.

- “WHY is Gamora?”

- Wong. He was there for 5 minutes and he was hilarious. “200 rupees” XD

- Drax being ‘invisible’.

- The Gamora/Nebula bond.

- “Dude. You’re embarrassing me in front of the wizards.”

- THE BUCKY AND ROCKET MOMENT WHERE ROCKET WANTS BUCKY’S ARM. THAT’S ALL I ASKED FOR AND THEY DELIVERED. AND BUCKY LITERALLY PICKED UP ROCKET AND TWIRLED HIM AROUND SO HE COULD KILL MORE EFFECTIVELY. THEY ARE KINDRED SPIRITS. WHO BOTH LOVE GUNS AND WERE REPEATEDLY MADE AND UNMADE AND WERE TORTURED AND FELT SO UNLOVED AND OK NOW IT’S BECOMING SAD AGAIN.

- Okoye and her hilarious quips.

- The GotG intro.

- PETER DINKLAGE. WHO IS A GIANT DWARF.

- “Not if I don’t die.”

- Bruce’s inner Hulk conflict.

- Rhodes messing with Bruce.

- “If you throw another moon at me I’m gonna lose it.”

- Peter Quill being jealous of Thor.

- “I would have washed that.”

- Tony’s nano tech.

- Bucky and his quips.

- How Peter got the Iron Spider suit.

- The Red Skull?!!?!?

- “You speak Groot?” / “It was an elective.”

- Understanding Thanos’ terribly flawed plan, his dedication to it and why he really does believe it’s for the greater good, and his genuine, proven, deep love for his favourite daughter. That’s what makes him so terrifyingly real. Real monsters aren’t just evil for the sake of being evil. Real monsters have good parts to them. They love, they’re the heroes of their own stories. But those redeeming features are no excuse for their monstrosity, their vileness. He’s an excellent, complex and terrifying super-villain.

- How Shuri awed Bruce with her super brain.

- Whoever thought to put Rocket, Groot and Thor together.

- “Rabbit”

- “Morons”

- Fury’s “motherfuc-“

- “This is my friend, Tree.” / “I am Groot” / “I am Steve Rogers”.

Where were these characters?!

Antman, Hawkeye and Nakia? I assume it’s because they’ll have biggish roles in A4? It also leads me to think the Antman & Wasp movie might have some serious significance to A4. We already know that the upcoming Captain Marvel will be important, for obvious reasons, but I’m thinking that since Antman & Wasp is the next movie to be shown after IW, it’s probably going to give us something (is that really obvious to other people and I’m just missing something? XD)

(Also, again, where was Valkyrie? And while I’m at it, where was Betty Ross? Will she turn up on A4? Or was that fake too?)

I’m going to go weep in a corner now.
