#mcu or comic u decide

Hi! I want to begin reading the GOTG comic, so I was wondering if you could help this random anon, lol. Is there a better order to start or can I read the new run without previous context?

DO NOT READ THE NEW RUN PLEASE ANON

It's bad its so bad it's offensively bad the way women are written makes me wanna tear my hair out.

Instead! Here's a fun reading list of the start of GOTG:

Annihilation: this is the true start of modern cosmic marvel and reintroduces characters like Star Lord, Gamora, Phyla Vell, Moondragon and Drax (all future members of GOTG). It's also just an utterly fantastic event story

Annihilation Conquest: the follow up to Annihilation, this has the Star Lord mini which features the proto GOTG and introduces Mantis, Rocket, Groot and Bug. Again it's another fantastic event story with a fun villain

Guardians of the Galaxy (2008): One of the team's best runs and the modern introduction. It works best if you have the added context of Annihilation and Conquest but you'll be able to get by reasonably well without them

Thanos Imperative: The end event for this era of cosmic marvel and this iteration of the GOTG

(Bonus) Nova (2007): I'd recommend this series like crazy it's one of Marvels most underrated books

There are ongoings from 2013 onwards however I'd have to recommend Guardians of the Galaxy (2020) by Al Ewing. It's the first GOTG to feel like a real continuation of GOTG2008 and Ewing manages to seamlessly blend that era of characterization with later... stuff by Bendis.

They do have an ongoing right now but it's just bad. I can't sugar-coat it it's just not an enjoyable time for anyone. I've seen it lambasted by both comic and MCU GOTG fans.... it's like apocalyptic if you're pissing off both

28. Things you said in the dark with Peter and MJ

Cold air slips in MJ's bed, fills the space where Peter should be.

She can't sleep. Worry plagues her and it eats away at her insides. For all intents and purposes, it's a normal night. Peter's out as Spider-Man because NYC's hurt is a siren's call to him and she just worries, okay? She knows he's wildly capable of taking care of himself, but sometimes she reads the news or listens to Peter recount his day and she has to remember to steel her legs before they wobble.

The window latch shuts and it takes under a minute before Peter slides in behind her. MJ keeps her breathing pattern deep and slow. An actress even here, even at home, even with Peter sometimes.

She can't help her nature. It's hard to fight the defensive walls she built.

Peter is a heater against her. He sweeps some of her hair away from her forehead and moves down to kiss the skin of her shoulder. "Night, MJ. I love you," he says sleepily.

One minute passes. And another. Then another.

In her mind, all she thinks is, I love you. I love you. I love you.

i tried to do my research -- no joke, it's been like 5 months of me doing the equivalent of immersion therapy for fandoms -- and i gotta say that while i can understand mcu Bucky fans cuz at least he got that title movie a decade ago, but i do not understand comic Bucky fandom.

but it's more than just Not Understanding, that'd be just one thing, but comic Bucky fans are WEIRD!!!!!!! to put it lightly!

like they're all obsessed with portraying Bucky -- who mind u is the oldest CA cast member since he's the only one who matches Steve's prehistoric age -- as like... a child. like the child of every single person, even ppl 20, 60, 80 years younger than him.....

and not just trying to re-interpret/re-portray him like a child dynamic-wise, but like they have a weird fascination with making him -- again mind u, the only other old ass supersoldier in the cast besides Steve unless u count random sidecharacters -- smaller and childlike and putting him in the "retro" "campy" outfits from the thrice-retconned-over (&hella racist!) oldtimey propaganda comics that were left in the past for good reason (racism)! not just bc theyve been retconned to hell n back

but that's not the weirdest part, actually. on top of all this weird OOC-ness comic Bucky fandom pushing onto the 2nd oldAssMan's dynamics w/ the other characters, & on top of fandom to "de-age" him, they all be doing the opposite for Steve and shipping him w/ Bucky -- who again, mind u are like e/o's only agemates in the cast -- and turn it into a weird d@ds0n shipping thing... even the cis dudes not even into shipping be makin jokes w their fangirl mutuals who do that!!

and not all of it feels like genuine shipping, but ALL of it feels like an extended homophobic joke all the comic fans are making w the character... it feels like a gross p*d*r*sty joke they're all in on, and coming from the outside it, it feels so gross.

Bcuz why tf are they all de-aging and shrinking Bucky down to a little boy but they shipping him with the folks they were just calling the grownups? either w Steve or w Steve's love interests and doing a weird "(step)mommy" joke........... ... It's all headcanons, but it's the SAME ppl doing BOTH of these things... at the same time... ... i checked! you find one and then you find the other! like... thats weird...

even if his comics were worth it -- it's not -- the fandom is weird as hell with the way they portray him, and the difference between that and canon (either comic or mcu canon) be throwing me for a loop bcuz wtf is going on...... it all feels like a creepy inside joke everyone else decided on b4 i walked into the room!

why would you send this to me, a dc comics blog

i don't know if anyone is interested to listen to my story of becoming a joker and joaquin fan 🔊

it's interesting how i was super bored 🥱 with my stan life as justin bieber was on hiatus and i decided i need to listen to new artists and watch comic book movies, i started with mcu iron man, dr. strange, avengers etc etc but i could not find a comfort character then one day i was watching viral hit songs on youtube it suggested me denierre danse ft joker it was a fan edit i saw joaquin as arthur fleck dancing on stairs, it was mesmerizing i could not stop watching that edit i didn't know anything about the movie or artie, i heard youtubers praising joaquin acting and how he deserves the oscar, i saw joker poster on twitter tl, i felt something again, i was not able to understand the connection but then i decided i need to google this actor name and fandom, i found a lot of beautiful moots later and we became friends in weeks, i watched joker loved the movie but was confused about my emotions for arthur 🥲 the first thing i noticed about him is his beautiful green eyes 💚 i didn't know joaquin real eyes are green untill i saw his pics on tl and could not believe how a man could be so beautiful 😍 i watched him win the oscar and his speech about cows touched my heart, i cried and decided he is perfect to be in my stan list after justin, i forgot to mention i was struggling with mental and physical health issues 😪 in 2019 i was visiting clinic and taking medicine 💉💊 it was tough times, i decided to make edits to get some relief from the pain, joker was my muse, i had lost hope in life but arthur became the reason i woke up every single day with a smile and my edits were appreciated on twitter and the fact people who follow me even the ones who don't stan joaquin loved it, i was super proud 🥲 watching joker for making edits became a hobby, it was sep i decided to take a break from social media and focus on my health but before i left i saw how moots were arguing with haters 😣 the joker hate train was a curse to our peace loving fandom, i had a surgery in April 2020 and had to rush in the hospital because of lockdown happening next week it was miserable month 😭 i stayed strong arthur fleck was on my mind all the time, i came back in july for my birthday, i felt better and decided to make more edits, moot suggested i create a youtube channel, i was excited to dedicate it to my love joker i mean artie 🖤 everything was fine untill oct 2022 i read the article about folie 🤦 gaga name was in the headline i could not believe todd philips was going to turn it into a musical with toxic relationship, i expected the sequel to be solo arthur fleck origin story 😐 i had arguments with moots about this topic, the hate train got worse than 2020, june was worst month but the folie shoot was completed and i felt i could finally breathe but then joaquin fans started leaving twitter and the good old times where we supported each other was gone, i feel alone on x the reason i come here to rant, my mental and physical health is not so good but again i am strong like my artie, i won't give up, three months left for folie 😒 i only wish the best for my comfort character arthur fleck and joaquin deserves to win more awards and praises for his acting, i hope we hear his angel voice, i could rant more about this movie but maybe next time this has become lengthy, i hope u guys forgive me if i ever was rude or disrespectful, i am sorry i am not perfect but this fandom is my second family i really want my arthur moots to be safe and happy 🖤 if u are still reading this note thanks for being kind and taking your precious time to read it

[themarysuep]

do u like any mcu romances? i wld hv totally been ok w steve and nat but they decided to go w whatever that bruce nat thing was... i think the best one is still tony and pepper

I'm so glad that you asked lol. Kamala x Kamran is the ship I will go down with. I loved how the mcu took a doomed ship from the comics and fixed it. They did such a good job expanding Kamran's role and casting an actual brown boy. And he was always what Kamala wanted so there's just something about my girl getting what she wants. And the mcu did such a great job portraying two modern but unapologetically desi (and Muslim) people who fall for each other without using stupid tropes. Even the promo the actors did just won me over. So underrated, I hope the mcu continues their journey. And I find Kamran so interesting in both universes. Kamala's love life in the comics is trash 😭.

I wouldn't have hated Steve and Nat tbh. I love Steve x Sharon and Buckynat in the comics and I'd have been 100 % on board with them in the mcu bc all the potential was there. I actually love the crumbs we got of them.

I honestly like all the canon ships. I don't hate any of them. Pepper x Tony were cool. And I have a lot of ships from the Marvel TV shows pre Disney+.

[clarklexlois]

I have a friend who loves mcu Wanda and wants to get more into her comics but told me she didn’t know where to start and I said she’s pretty easy bc she was on avengers for years so if she wants to read for her just jump into avengers but she told me she didn’t care about any of the other characters and didn’t want to read avengers so I looked up Wanda reading lists/her important issues and sent her links to the exact issues on RCO that she should read and she told me she didn’t want to read anything if she didn’t own a physical copy… girl at least check out the comics before deciding if u want to collect them bc they can get expensive OR admit that you just like the aesthetic of looking like you read comics but don’t actually want to put into the effort of doing so

20 Fanfic Questions

I was tagged by @jazzforthecaptain for this right when I'm supposed to be going to bed. -_-U

How many works do you have on AO3?

What’s your total AO3 words count?

716,745 as of right now....

What fandoms do you write for?

Whew..... uh, lessee, Supernatural, Marvel Comics/MCU, Harry Potter, Animorphs, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Little Mermaid, Gundam Wing, Smallville/DC Comics, Highlander, Star Trek, The Sentinel, Stargate SG1, Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sailor Moon, Tomorrow People (New/90s Series), Fullmetal Alchemist, Gravitation, Yami no Matsuei, Weiss Kreuz, Ranma ½, Pirates of the Caribbean, Good Omens, Firefly, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings et al, Daria, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Phineas and Ferb, Danny Phantom, ElfQuest, Rise of the Guardians, How To Train Your Dragon, El Goonish Shive (don't tell Dan!), Transformers, YURI!!!

More Worthy Than Believed (MCU, Gen, Tony-centric, vague IronHawk)

Only Different In The Details (MCU, IronHawk plus Avengers ensemble)

Hel Hath Nick Fury (MCU, Nick Fury/Hela aka Darcy Lewis)

The Shadow You Cast Over Me (MCU, Gen, Tony-centric, unrequited Steve/Tony)

Broken Hallelujah (Supernatural, Sastiel)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Short answer is that I try to? I want to respond to comments, but sometimes I'm out of spoons and it takes me a while to work up the spoons to answer, and sometimes the comment is a demand for an update on a fic I just posted a new chapter for and I lose the motivation to write anything at all for a couple days because gods, I'm thrilled y'all enjoy my stuff but damned if I've usually got the time and energy to write fanfic around Real Life!

What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably a toss up between The Shadow You Cast Over Me and A Wish Your Heart Makes. (If you didn't guess one of those, uh, well... ~offers tissues~)

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh, hell, good luck trying to pin that one down! Seriously, I can't pick, go look for yourself.

Do you get hate on fics?

Not...exactly? I mean, I once got some dumbass complaining in the comments of my clearly tagged WinterIron soulmate AU that he wanted to read WinterWindow and "not this gay shit", which, dude, we're on AO3, not FanFiction.Net, the fic was very clearly tagged and you still clicked on it, so you reading "that gay shit" is all on you, buddy. Also, same fic, someone decided that because I talk about Natasha and Yasha being familiar with borscht that I was a Russian Imperialist? I dunno, people are weird.

Do you write smut. If so what kind?

.....Yes, hello, any kind of smut I write that's actually explicit rather than kept vague or Fade To Black has a separate psued. Click at your own risk, not that I have much posted there yet.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Hmmmm.... Do I have to stick with fics that I've posted and can provide links to? I've got a LOT of crossovers that either aren't posted yet or haven't been moved over to AO3 and tracking down the links on the wider web and defunct archives is difficult.... so, I'll just cop to Lethally Blonde, the MCU/stealth-Tropic Thunder crossover, for right now.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Sort of? Someone stole a segment of "More Worthy Than Believed" wholesale and tried to pass it off as theirs a few years back, but it got discovered pretty quickly by folks who'd read the original.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don't know? I think someone offered to translate one of my older fics once, but I don't know if anything came of it.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I'm listed as a collaborator for The Cadbury'verse, but aside from Bang collabs and the vague plans @rodiniaorzetalthepenquin and I have plotted about at three AM that result in one or the other of us writing fics in the same narrative universe, I don't have any posted cowritten fics.

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

~thousand-yard-stare at the above list of fandoms~ .....could you be more specific?

What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Dude, I just updated Only Different In The Details with a new chapter and the last update previously was in 2013! If the fic isn't marked as complete, it'll get finished eventually. (Or I'll die, but it's more likely the fic gets finished before then.)

What are your writing strengths?

World-building. I seriously LOVE world-building, and I really enjoy writing full AUs that really let me flex that!

What are your writing weaknesses?

.....forward planning. I can't seem to do it with any kind of reliability or regularity, and trying to write an outline is a scholastic exercise in futility, not to mention all the times I've gone looking for notes or scene snippets I could have sworn I wrote down or typed into chat somewhere and apparently sharing the vivid fever dream images in my head was yet another dream. On the other hand, I remember three different versions of those scenes in vivid technicolor, so I just have to pick one instead of starting three new WIPs.....

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

This is honestly why I'm slowly teaching myself seven different languages, and you can bet I prefer having a beta for those segments who is a native speaker. (Harder for Latin, Quenya, Vulcan, and Enochian, admittedly....)

First fandom you wrote for?

Trick question. The first fandom I ever wrote for and posted online was Animorphs, but I was writing fanfic as far back as second grade for Disney movies and the Sweet Valley Universe nominally by Francis Pascal. (Yes, I still have those notebooks. No, they will not be transcribed and archived online.)

Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Always the fic I haven't written yet. Always. What I think is my favorite now will not likely still be my favorite next year, maybe not even next month! Hell, I can't even pick a favorite out of the ones I have posted to AO3 right this second! But then, isn't that part of the fun part of writing?

Tagging.... @rodiniaorzetalthepenquin , @karategirl80 , @slytherkins , @youarentreadingthis , @sageclover61 , @hyrulehearts1123 , and @mrswhozeewhatsis . Have fun!

[a-wild-things-rambles]

how the mcu fuked Sharon carter over, how steggy isn’t the hot shit it thinks it is, and how Steve Sharon is actually a good ship fuck you

i had to get this rant out. i am right about this :)

1, Peggy in the comics is a one-night stand of Steve’s in the war. she doesn’t even know his name. she isn’t the love of his life, she’s barely a love interest, and she has little importance to him.

2, Sharon is one of Steve’s close friends, and there romantic relationship, while on/off at times, due to their conflicts and work, they still have a close bond and care for each other, they know the reasons they fight, but deal with them p well, they are both headstrong independent people, but they have each other’s backs when they need to.

Sharon is honestly my fav love interest of Steve’s, and the one that makes the most sense (other than Sam but unfortunately that won’t happen anytime soon) they are the type of couple who can mature together, and help temper each other rough edges, as well as both jump into danger like the highly trained people they are.

3, while Sharon and Peggy are related in the comics, Sharon doesn’t know that when she first meets Steve (and maybe never? Sharon knows Peggy has an obsession w captain America, but I can’t remember if it goes further) and honestly? it was a one-night stand, who cares.

now this is the mcus fuckups

4. Peggy shouldn’t have been made out to be the love of Steve’s life.(its Sam) she has no impact on him and I get they need a love interest, but it fucks shit up down the line, and why do u need a love story?? there meant to be a family, (I’m stopping this tangent here I have to many thoughts about the adaptation)

5, you know how Natasha’s friendship with Steve was massively strengthened during captain America: the winter soldier? yes that was meant to be Sharon, but Scarlett Johansson kicked up a fuss. all that development... also while Natasha is important to the winter soldier arc, Sharon is more in the part they are covering, and nats part is when bucky enters more.

5.1 so basically the kiss in civil war was meant to be between characters that had had a lot more development.

6. Hayley Atwell. don’t get me started. there are much better threads somewhere, but the rundown is she has some sort of blackmail cause the amount of steggy... she’s obsessed w Chris evens and has sent hordes of angry steggy shippers after Sharon’s actor and cause a lot of issues.

tldr: mcu fuked up by making Peggy Steve’s "one true love", Sharon’s character development was stolen, and Hayley Atwell decided to be v weird about it

(Disclaimer: I’m not currently in the fandom, I haven’t read captain America 2006 in a few months, and I can’t be asked to do citations, but this is something I’ve wanted to get down for a while. also, I’m not making a judgment on Johansen, but am on Atwell)

[leoxxii]

i think being an mcu only fan that doesnt read the comics is fine. UNDER THE PRETENSE THAT YOU a) dont act like you know everything about a character or group of characters b) dont demonize characters bc u read like a plot summary or saw one panel of something completely out of context and decide that guy abuses his wife or something

[arecipeforfeels]

Got high and decided I’m watching ca:tws so be ready for incoherence:

Marvel movies used to MEAN SOMETHING

They did however always live in the pocket of the military

I don’t care I would eat this movie if I could

They were so insane for it and they had to do civil war as the worlds worst no homo ever

HE DOESNT HAVE ANYONE AROUND THAT SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE COS HES LOST IN TIME

THE WHOLE MOVIE IS HIM BEING UNSUCCESSFULLY SET UP ON DATES

I hate everything

I also am not immune to an action sequence and some fun music….

Also it is very impressive how violent they can make these movies and completely get away with it if there’s no blood splatter

Bad guys r French, more at 10

I took a kickboxing class in like 2013 bc I thought black widow was hot and wanted to also be hot

(Sidenote, I also played basketball for five years bc of high school musical. I have never had an original thought in my life)

FIGHT SCENE NUMBER TWOOOOO

This is an iconic one cos it’s the one where he puts his shield on his back to fight for Even Footing (and also ON VA VOIR U WILL ALWAYS B FAMOUS)

people went so bonkers for that

Tag urself Im the giant harddrive

Okay goofiest admission ever: in this movie there’s a bunch of time spent in this one big building that’s supposedly located in dc. But it’s got this big giant atrium with a huge high steel and glass ceiling, and at some point during this movie someone hits it or crashes through it or shoots it. And every time I hear the words “glass ceiling” I think of this fuckin movie

CHEKHOVS ELEVATOR

“Wow yayyyyyyy war machiiiiiiime!! For sEcUriTy”

US Army wet dream while still trying to keep Cap there as a voice of reason

It’s a fascinating dichotomy

Air and spase! Museum (great night at the museum 3 reference)

Also I cannot believe he goes to his own fuckin exhibit

...actually upon reflection I too would go to my own exhibit

The endgame revisionism of him going back in time is soooooo stupid she does not exist to me

It’s such character assassination of everyone involved

(I don’t care, I say caringly, as I care deeply)

I also had (had??) a massive crush on Hailey atwell

Robert Redford is here

Weird joke about Algerians and the French

THERE IS AN ACTUAL COMPELLING CONVERSATION ABOUT PTSD

This movie is also a Chevy ad

Also I remember seeing the big SUVs in this movie and being like “damn those are tanks” they are also nothing compared to what’s out there now

This movie also feels so much more grounded in actual life

Like we talk abt all the CGI coming in later movies, this one feels gritty in comparison, on simply a mechanical level

Speed tour of dc

We have reached the civilian casualty stage of the movie

I can’t imagine how much money Samuel L Jackson has made off these movies

THE CAR FLIP SHOT W BUCKY IIIIIIIIII (editors note: this is where the coherence begins to go downhill. You can sense the trend)

god this movie

THE SHIELD CATCH IM EATING MY SHOES

Elevator scene lets fuckin goooooooooo

Let’s GOOOOOOOO

the tension build is so good

Everyone say thank u Steve rogers for breaking the glass ceiling

This movie is also an apple ad…2014

GUY WHO FULLY HITS ON STEVE AT THE APPLE STORE

Look the fuckin Natasha Steve bromance in this is lovely

Buddy comedy

I will say this was such a moment for the MCU, the hydra reveal

Esp cos like agents of shield was in its heyday etc etc

2014 sure was a time

This man [Toby Jones] has been so comically typecast forever

OPERATION PAPERCLIP CASUAL NAMEDROP

god

This is so fascinating to me Bc it’s like “Here is how we revisionize the United States’ history of interfering in coups etc etc it was bad guys in the government doing it etc etc”

“What we need to to is get back to the good government”

Sam Wilson the man that you are

Bucky shows up at any time in this fucking movie and I start barking

I am also always thinking of the “we shot him in ze legs” vine

This is my Roman Empire

“I knew him” oooouuuuugggHHHH

RIP Stan Lee

Bucky yeets a guy into a jet engine and by god does he look good doing it

This stupid movie (editors’s note: caught in a miasma of 2014)

¿What if the Marvel Zombies were in the MCU? (Alternate Story)

To: Marvel Entertainment, Kevin Feige, Bryan Andrews and the creators of episode 5 of what if...

                                                    Intro

¿What if events went differently in the MCU? What if the Marvel Zombies were in the MCU? In today’s fam fiction we’re going to be exploring my version of the zombie virus in the MCU from an earlier point in time. This is my own take of events taking inspiration from the 2006-07 Planet Hulk story arc mixed with the 1991 Infinity Gauntlet and 2013 Infinity comics while following the mythology of the Marvel Zombies comics and the timeline of the MCU. Without wasting anymore time sit back and relax and enjoy this 3 part and 1st ever creepypasta fan fiction.

                                                     Prologue

Recently I witnessed a world where Janet Van Dyne infected Hank Pym in the Quantum Realm and when they returned spread it out to all of humanity including Thanos himself except a few of the heroes that made it out alive. However, if I tell u that out of all the zombie worlds I saw there is a world where the zombie virus began in outer space specifically in Asgard and that is today’s story. I am the Watcher. I am ur guide to these vast new realities. Follow me and pounder the question. What If...

                                                         Part 1 (Ragnarok)

This universe’s zombie world will begin during the final battle on Asgard in Thor Ragnarok with all the events of the film itself playing out the same as in our universe with Thor gaining the help of Loki and Valkyrie to stop Hela but the zombie virus and our story itself begins here with a small detail turning into a big one. Hela created an army made out of the dead soldiers of Asgard by using the eternal flame to do this. The army hunted and tried to kill the remaining Asgardians but they failed in our universe. Her army were valiant warriors who fought under the command of Odin and Hela during their great wars and conquests spreading chaos and destruction across the Nine Realms. They were part of their wars to build Asgard and become a powerful empire. Hela decided that she wanted to punish Thor and the Asgardians for what they had done to her over the years. I’m going to change things a little bit since Hela is the godess of death and her powers were much stronger and powerful in the comics and what I’m about to do might sound insane but this is my version of the story. Anyway the universe will change fast and Hela sees her army falling apart in front of her eyes. She watches on telling Thor what was he the god of. Thor tried using all of his strength to talk to his father Odin about Asgard and how the people were Asgard and Asgard was a place. Hela summoned a sword from her left hand knowing that Thor was going to break free from her grasp. Right before Thor could use a powerful bolt of energy he felt a sharp pain in his gut. Thor looked down seeing a sword went through him. He screamed in pain but the scream stopped. Thor’s body fell to the ground. He was crawling trying to get to his feet but he didn’t have energy to fight his sister and she stabbed Thor repeatedly until Thor was dead for good or so she thought she was dead. Hela smiled watching Thor bleed out and she knew that she can take this advantage by using the eternal flame on Thor like what she did to her army but what was special about this eternal flame was that it contained some remnants of blood and spit from the drager. With her personal dead army she combined the eternal flame with the elements of the drager before walking over to Thor’s dead body and putting her hand on his head and while the eternal flame might’ve awoken the army the elements of the drager caused Thor’s eyes to grow in electric color green but something was wrong. Thor was a god. It was the mixture with the supernatural and his powers mixed together. Thor was reanimated back from the dead and Hela called for Thor to rise and bow down to her. Hela failed to realize that the blood of the drager was too powerful for a god like Thor and combining the eternal flame resulted in 2 situations. Either the person who consumed it would vaporize or it will gain enhanced strength but will always have the sensation of hunger for flesh. He slowly got up seeing that he was healed. Thor laughed and smiled at her sister feeling a weird sensation of hunger. The eternal flame and the blood of the drager were the main cause of the zombie virus in this universe but it became uncontrolled after Hela used her powers to reanimate her brother from the dead. Thor flew in the air grabbing Hela by the neck biting it completely off. He ripped her head off using a massive bolt of energy. The blast of energy cause the army of zombies to have no master. Since Hela wasn’t in control the zombies were battling with Loki and Hulk. They were becoming overrunned by the zombies and they didn’t know what to do. He called his hands destroying them on the bridge. Since Thor isn’t there to save the heroes from Asgard’s safety it will be up to the Hulk, Loki and Valkyrie to save everyone. Thor started eating Hela. He didn’t know who he was anymore and why he was doing this. Thor dropped her body seeing a pool of blood around him and what was happening. Loki thought it would be wise to use the eternal flame to unleash Surtur upon Asgard but he didn’t know that she was already dead. Loki ran into Odin’s treasure room seeing all of the relics displayed. Loki opened the door to the hallway seeing a glowing light. It was the tesseract. Loki grabbed the tesseract in time putting it in his pocket. He opened the door to leave his chamber but what was awaiting him was something he never thought was possible. Thor smiled seeing Loki drop to the ground in pure horror. Thor tried biting off Loki but Loki in time used the spell tricking Thor. Thor turned his head seeing the real Loki running out of the chamber and Loki ran throwing Surtur’s helmet into the eternal flame. Thor was confused watching Surtur coming out of the flame. The zombie virus wasn’t over though. Thor even after the flame was still a zombie. Surtur used his giant sword throwing it into Thor. Thor hit the wall of Asgard and he got up seeing Surtur getting ready to destroy all of Asgard. Loki ran into the ship watching from afar. Valkyrie asked Loki where Thor was but Loki told her that something happened to him. He said Hela must’ve used the spell on Thor. He tried talking but he can see Thor’s zombified face hunting him. He sat down on the ship watching the destruction of Asgard. Asgard was destroyed but the zombie virus is about to hit the MCU which was something expected. An Asgardian was infected by one of the undead soldiers from Hela’s army. Loki can hear screaming coming from the ship and people were sleeping but were startled after hearing 4 Asgardians scream in pain. Their eyes turned green yelling and screaming. Loki summoned a knife stabbing it in the heart of one of the Asgardians. Heimdall screamed becoming the infected. He was bit in the neck by the soldier. There was an all out brawl in the ship. Loki asked Hulk to kill everyone on the ship and to do it now. He was about to do a massive clap but Loki and Hulk were shocked to see that Valkyrie had tuen into one of the infected. He jumped over Hulk biting Loki’s shoulder. Loki’s eyes turned green. Echoes of screams were heard but things went silent. All of the Asgardians were infected in the ship and they were walking around life lifeless monsters. Hulk, Loki and Valkyrie have all fallen. The zombies in the ship wanted more food and there wasn’t much left because they have been infected too fast for anyone to save any of it. The following year in 2018 Heimdall was ready and he was going to summon the last of his Bifrost powers to go to Earth and feast on more weaker people. He can see everyone and knew that he had unlimited food. Right before he was going to sent the zombies through the Bifrost a massive shadow casted on the ship. They can hear loud noises but they were ready for anything. “Stay quiet” Loki told all of the zombies as he told them to wait as they board the ship and only then would they have their next meal. After the destruction of Asgard by Surtur Thor was able to make it off of his world in time but Thor was caught in the explosion flying in the unknown reaches of space. The zombified Thor was flying around unconscious after the battle. The Guardians of the Galaxy were flying in space like in our universe but this time the Asgardian zombies used the distress signal before they left Asgard as a last ditch effort to save their world. The Guardians of the Galaxy traveled to the distress signal and encountered a unconscious Thor. Thor’s body slammed into the ship and he opened his eyes smiling seeing the Guardians. The Guardians were confused to see the creature was alive after everything but what they didn’t know was that opening the door he was zombified. They opened the door entering Thor like in our universe. His eyes stopped glowing and they were look at his body thinking that he was truly dead but whatever was out there signaled to them that they were already gone or had died. The universe has completely changed because without Thor alive and being on the ship with his brother Thor wouldn’t learn about Thanos getting the Reality and Soul Stones from the Collector and Red Skull on Knowhere and Vormir respectively in the new universe. Star-Lord asked them what they were going to do with the dead body that was sitting there. “Throw him out from where he came from” Rocket said. Drax walked towards the group on the ship opening the door but the noise of the door woke up Thor. Gamora asked him if his body should be glowing green but it would be too late. Star-Lord would walk towards Thor but he was choked. Groot and Mantis tried to attack Thor and threw Star-Lord towards them. He grabbed Nebula by the neck and she tried to escape but Thor screamed ripping her head off. Thor has that urge again to eat but he tried to fight it off trying to talk with the Guardians. Rocket Raccoon took out a rocket launcher from the ship trying to blast Thor with it but Thor picked him up biting his neck off. Rocket screamed in horror. Thor threw his body towards Star-Lord. Star-Lord was shocked to see Rocket dead but Rocket bit into Star-Lord’s leg. He screamed shooting Rocket in the face. Thor grabbed Gamora by the neck picking her up in the air choking her. Star-Lord was trying to fight off the hunger but it would be too late. It was overcoming him with the sensation and bit Drax. Everyone in the ship became infected fast with the virus. They all stopped fighting each other. Star-Lord punched Thor in the face and he was sent flying into the control of the ship. Star-Lord asked Thor what the hell did he just do. Thor told him that he was infected by his sister and tried using the distress signal to get backup but nobody came. Thor explained that his plan was destroyed and he turned into this monster and couldn’t fight it but he explained that there was more food near this place. He told Star-Lord and the Guardians about the ship that had his people. Thor said that they can eat there and use the ship to get to Earth. They had all the coordinates to get there and was the only way since Thor didn’t know where he was or how to get there without the Bifrost. The Guardians agree with Thor changing the coordinates to the Asgardian ship. He saw that it was closer than expected and if they got there in time their hunger will be satisfied.

                                                   Part 2 (Infinity War)

Thanos’s ship landed and his Black Order boarded the ships. They saw that everything was dark and their bodies were everywhere. Corvus Glaive told Thanos that the entry of the ship was clear. Thanos walked in seeing the corpses lifeless on the ground. Thanos yelled telling his Black Order to rip the ship apart. He wanted the Space Stone and he wanted it now. Thanos had the Power Stone after he decimated Xandar. He lit the Power Stone up and the stone casted a shadow on the most terrifying sight. A group of zombies smiled and were ready about to attack Thanos likely. Thanos used the Power Stone in time cracking the skulls of the zombies. The Black Order were caught off guard. Loki had changed into Ebony Maw biting up Proxima Midnight's head. Cull Obsidian was confused seeing Ebony Maw do this but it was too late. Hulk screamed spearing him to the ground. Before Black Dwarf could attack Hulk his face was cut clean killing him off. Thanos looked to see all of his Black Order were murdered in front of him. Even Supergiant was killed. Thanos screamed using the Power Stone to destroy the ship. Thanos met these types of creatures before but not like this. It was something he never faced before. Thanos knew he needed to act fast. Valkyrie was going in for the killing blow on Thanos but he dodged the attack grabbing her by her neck crushing her in front of Heimdall. Thanos used Corvus's spear levitating it in the air throwing it at Loki's face pinning his body to the ship. Thanos crushed every zombie within the ship throwing their bodies through space. Thanos walked towards Loki who was trying to break out of the spear but Thanos took his body ripping it in half. Thanos looked to see the tesseract. As he was about to pick it up Hulk screamed turning around. Thanos and Hulk were circling each other. Thanos knew that whatever this was he had to end this fast and get that stone. Thanos was about to pick it up until Hulk speared Thanos into the wall laughing saying that he was the hungriest there is. Thanos in time used the Power Stone to blast Hulk's head into half. Hulk screamed but was punched in the face. Thanos smashed Hulk's head into the ship stabbing him in the gut. Thanos picked up Hulk slamming his body to the ground. Thanos in a rage blew up the Hulk's head. He was dead but it wasn't finished. The Mad Titan picked up the tesseract crushing it into his hands. he put the stone on his gauntlet knowing that he needed to regroup and find the next stones. he was about to use the Space Stone until a ship zoomed in crashing into the entrance way Thanos didn't know what to think but he stood his ground. The ship's doors opened and out came Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy. The zombies were shocked to see the ship was filled with bodies everywhere but what shocked him the most was that Thanos was here. Thor couldn't believe it. he saw Loki's head roll near Thanos's feet. Thanos stomped on the head explaining that he was too late for them and he had two stones and he was going to be getting the third one. Thanos opened the Space Stone portal and he was about to enter until he saw his daughter come out of the ship. He was shocked to see that she became one of these freaks and Thanos didn't know what to say but he had a tear in his eyes knowing what he needed to do. Thanos asked what happened but the zombies walked off of the ship with no reply. Thanos put his head down in disappointment aiming the gauntlet at the zombies. He shot a blast from the gauntlet but lightning crawled up Thor's fingers dodging the mega blast. Thanos knew he was outmatched and without all the stones he couldn't fight whatever this was. He decided to continue his plan using the space stone. Thor jumped almost getting to Thanos but the portal shut. He rolled around the floor and Thor turned his head to see the Hulk. Hulk was dead and Thor had flashes of his past remembering when he was normal. Thor screamed manically and the guardians walked towards the ship looking at the coordinates. Earth was the destination and they needed to go there now. Thor wanted more food but he thought that maybe he could be cured. Maybe Tony could help him become the man he once was. Thor had to try this. He told the Guardians that he wanted this planet for his own and that they could feast somewhere else. Gamora told Thor that Thanos was getting the stones and she said that if they could get their hands on one of those stones that they could feast on any planet in the universe. Star-Lord laughed agreeing with her plan. Thor wished the zombies good luck but he didn't reveal the plan to the Guardians about finding a cure as if he did all hope could be lost. Thor went into the back end of the ship getting into an escape pod going to Earth. Thor was coming in quick with the escape pod breaking into the Earth's atmosphere. The ship crashed into the building blowing up. Thor's body was sent flying near Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. Doctor Strange looked outside hearing screaming, car alarms and people in panic. Doctor Strange saw a building on fire but he didn't know what was going on. Wong ran outside asking Strange if he was in need of help. Doctor Strange was shocked when he saw Thor emerged from the flames of the shipwreck. He had blood everywhere and half of his face was burnt off. Doctor Strange asked Thor if he was okay but he kept walking towards strange and Wong. Doctor Strange was caught off guard seeing Thor pick up a civilian trying to run from the chaos. Thor laughed ripping his throat out eating the man in front of them. Doctor Strange knew dark magic or something was in the works here. Strange had no choice but to use the Time Stone. He reversed time right before Thor's ship crashed into the earth. Doctor Strange used an astral projection of himself to get within the ship. He couldn't believe his eyes. He saw Thor with the blazing green eyes knowing that he needed to do something. Doctor Strange grabbed Thor's body teleporting him into the Sanctum Sanctorum. He then used a portal linking it somewhere through space throwing the ship into it just in time. Doctor Strange teleported back to the Sanctum Sanctorum in time using magic to restrain Thor. Wong ran towards Doctor Strange seeing Thor on the couch in chains. Doctor Strange asked if Thor could talk. Thor yelled and screamed demanding to be freed but he told Strange that he needed help. He had a sense of hunger that he couldn't control and he needed Stark or him to cure him of Hela's enchantment or whatever infected him. Doctor Strange and Wong told Thor that it was going to be okay. Tony like in our universe was with Pepper jogging around the city. Tony talked about his weird dream that he had of his daughter and he was surprised to see a portal in the middle of the city open in front of his eyes. Doctor Strange walked outside of the portal demanding for tony to come with him and that this was urgent. Tony didn't want to go with them telling Doctor Strange to mind his own business until strange moved out of the way revealing Thor through the portal. Tony ran towards the portal seeing that Thor was restrained and yelled at Strange asking what was wrong with him. He walked into the portal in shock seeing a zombified Thor. Stark asked “what happened” and Doctor Strange revealed everything that Thor said to him about Hela and how he was turned into a zombie after the destruction of Asgard. Doctor Strange told Tony that they needed to find a way to reverse whatever happened to him or this could spread within the world or even the universe itself. Tony was shocked but agreed. He tried to talk to Thor but Thor wanted to break out. He wasn't strong enough to break through Strange's barriers and Tony told Strange that he was going to need to get a blood sample to see what was inside of him. This would allow him to check what was wrong and how he could reverse whatever happened. Strange asked Thor how many of these zombie type creatures were running around in the universe an Thor said that he only knew around 8 of them that were still alive running around. Tony almost fell to the ground in shock knowing that if this spreads the whole universe could turn into these freaks. They needed to act fast before things got out of hand. Tony grabbed his phone ready to call Steve but he decided not to alarm anyone. Tony knew that if he did it would only be making the problem worse than what it could be. Thanos like in our universe  went to Knowhere to collect the Reality Stone from the Collector but this time it was ambushed by the zombie versions of the Guardians. The Guardians trailed Thanos throughout the universe knowing the Collector had the Reality Stone. If they could get their hands on the stone before Thanos then it could make it a lot easier for them to take the other two stones from him using them to feast on everything and everyone. Thanos had a standoff with the rest of the Guardians and he told them that they couldn't possess the power of the stones and that he was going to wipe out half of all life to balance everything out of existence. The zombies didn't care and Star-Lord attacked Thanos but Thanos changed reality throwing Star-lord at Drax and Groot. A massive Power Stone blast hit Mantis in the face killing her for good. A hole went through her head and she fell to the ground lifeless. Thanos threw her body at Gamora and Gamora was sent flying onto the ground. She was about to get up until Thanos stepped on her back crushing it. Her face broke with blood pouring out of her eyes and Star-Lord yelled using his rocket boots to kick Thanos in the face. Thanos ripped Star-Lord's leg off and was about to teleport away until the gauntlet didn't work. Thanos heard laughing in the distance and reality changed in front of Thanos. Star-Lord laughed saying that they had cheat codes of their own and that he was going to pay for everything he did to them. Gamora came from behind biting Thanos in the neck. He screamed in pain but the zombies devoured him leaving his bones at Knowhere. They ate off the gauntlet off of Thanos's arm having enough power to travel and eat anything they wanted in the universe. Gamora made sure that Thanos wouldn't come back from this. Gamora told the team that they had three stones and she said “what if we find the final ones as using the full power we have no one to stand in our way”. Drax smiled at the idea and loved it. The Guardians agreed to find the Soul, Mind and Time Stones. With these stones they could snap their fingers and eat everything and anything they wanted. Gamora explained that they knew where one of the stones were and that stone was on Vormir. The Guardians headed to Vormir going at lightning speed. Tony gained samples of Thor's blood and it was hard for Tony to study since Thor was a god it wasn't normal but he knew that something was wrong. He tried to look within the blood to retrieve separate samples but he didn't find anything that could help him. Doctor Strange tried researching spells to reverse whatever has been done to Thor but nothing could be done. Doctor Strange looked within different timelines to find an answer to this but he couldn't see anything. Tony asked Strange what was their next course of action going forward since they couldn't do anything for Thor and Tony told Strange that Thor was still his friend and that he needed more time but Thor explained that he wasn't in full control and was willing to break out of the magic and eat everyone. He told Strange he better have the Time Stone ready just in case anything were to happen. Strange was about to tell Tony something until Thor let out a massive scream. The hunger was becoming too much for him and a bolt of lightning came cracking down from the sky breaking Doctor Strange's spell.

                                           Ultimate finale (Endgame)

Strange told Tony that there was no time and that they needed to use a destruction spell on Thor's head to try and break his skull. Tony got into his armor yelling for Strange not to make a rash decision. Strange used the spell casting it on Thor trying to use all his powers but it didn't work. Thor used a massive bolt of lightning on Strange kicking him back. Strange fell to the ground trying to get to his feet but Thor screamed in his face ripping his cloak off of him. Thor threw Strange to the ground and Wong used a destruction spell but Thor flew his hand into his chest killing Wong for good. Tony told Thor to stop and try to control the virus. Thor yelled saying he couldn't. He told Tony to leave but it was too late. Thor was consumed by the hunger and Iron Man summoned a sword through his armor stabbing it into Thor. Thor smiled asking if that's all he had. Tony used the arc reactor and the pulse blasted through his chest. A hole went through it and Thor fell to the ground lifeless trying to get to his feet. Tony said that he didn't want to do this and he asked if gods couldn't die blasting a powerful ray from his arm. Tony shot it but Thor used lightning dodging the blast throwing Tony through a wall. Thor picked up Tony and was about to bite him until webs hit Thor in the face. Tony was surprised to see Spider-Man. Tony yelled at Parker not to engage and Spider-Man punched Thor in the face but was bit from the attack. Spider-Man fell to the ground in pain and Strange got back up sprawling getting his cloak. His vision was blurry but he saw Spider-Man and Thor eating Tony. People were screaming and Strange reversed time moments before Spider-Man was infected. Doctor Strange screamed in pain using a destruction spell on Thor's head breaking his skull. Thor dropped to the ground lifeless and Spider-Man and Iron Man were shocked to see that Thor was killed. Iron Man asked Strange why he did it and Strange told Tony that there was no other way and that they were going to save him so they needed to save everyone else letting Thor die. He told Tony he saw him get infected and he used the Time Stone to reverse it before he was going to be dinner. Tony picked up Thor's body phoning Steve. The Guardians landed on the planet. It was cold dark and things felt like death. Gamora told Star-Lord that she learned about the location years ago but never told Thanos because if he ever got the stones for himself he would be unstoppable but now his plan to retrieve them all was over and there needed to be room for a new plan. Star-Lord was happy knowing that food was going to be endless once they got their hands on all the stones but he asked Gamora if they were doing the right thing here and she agreed with him but she told Peter that they couldn't be helped and that they couldn't save themselves. At this point this was the new way of life. The only way to survive was feeding even if it meant killing innocent people. They made it to the top of the mountain but no one was around and there was a dark shadow casting from the rocks. they heard cloaks waving around and Drax smiled pointing his knife at the figure in the distance. He said that there was fresh food here but he was stopped in his tracks by the Red Skull. Skull told him that he was there to suffer for a long period of time and that the only way he could be freed was for someone to be worthy of the Soul Stone. Red Skull said “a soul for a soul” and the team then headed down wanting to know who was going to make the ultimate sacrifice. Drax raised his hand being pushed by Gamora and Star-Lord. Star-Lord looked at Mantis and said that he was sorry for this but it only made sense. Drax picked up Mantis throwing her off of the cliff screaming. He didn't want to do it but it was done. The deed was finished and they grabbed the stone but were shocked to learn that even though they were zombies they still had their souls. They could maybe somehow cure themselves from this but Star-Lord explained that they couldn't and that this was their new path. They got into the ship setting their location for Earth. They had two stones and they were learning this from the ship's archives. Thanos kept tabs on he Avengers from Earth and since the Guardians had access to everything they were able to learn all the information and how to get each stone. Tony brought Thor's dead body to the Avengers Compound and he started studying the body learning about the virus and how it worked. He needed to find a cure and Thor's body was a good way to learn about this and Doctor Strange went searching for Steve Rogers, Falcon Scarlet Witch and Vision. They were all wanted criminals hiding in Scotland after the events of Civil War. Tony wanted to talk to them but since he was busy trying to find a cure he let Doctor Strange know about their whereabouts. Doctor Strange found the team hiding in an old broken down factory. Strange told them what happened with Thor and he said that there was a virus that is lurking in the universe and they needed the Avengers to stop this before it could get out of hand. Cap was shocked hearing the news about Thor but he knew that if Thor was dead then things were getting serious. He agreed asking if they were going to be safe going back to the states but Strange said it was all covered. The heroes walked through the portal seeing Tony and Rhodes. They were ready to fight but were stopped by Doctor Strange. Black Widow looked in horror seeing Thor's body. She asked what happened and Tony explained that the zombie virus has started somewhere in space since Thor was infected by his sister. There was no way of knowing if it was a magic spell or a virus. Tony got out of his seat telling the team that he thinks that it could be a mixture of both but even still he said that Thor couldn't fight it but infected Spider-Man fast in another timeline. Peter told Tony that maybe they could create nanotechnology which was what his suit was made out of. It would easily destroy the zombie skin by breaking it down and it could kill them within seconds. Cap asked Tony if there was a cure but he shook his head saying “NO”. Cap yelled telling them that they wanted to save lives and not kill any innocent people if they could avoid that at all costs. Tony told Steve that “there was no other way”. Steve looked at Thor's body and he had an idea but it was risky. He told Tony and the rest of the team that they should bring Thor's body back for more tests at Wakanda. Doctor Strange agreed and wanted to learn more from the other scientists. They grabbed the body opening the portal to Wakanda with the Mind and Time Stones left. The Guardians were on their way to Earth. Star-Lord told the rest of the Guardians that as much as he felt a sense of belonging to Earth their hunger needed to be satisfied first. With them having four stones at hand they are confident that they will be successful at Wakanda. Thor's body had been transported to their facilities for Shuri to do further testing. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange told the Avengers that he would stay with Shuri in case Thor got re-animated again. The other Avengers agreed and decided that they should be at standby just in case anything happened. At the same time the Guardians have now found the coordinates to the remaining stones at Wakanda. Rocket asked Star-Lord whether they would be able to defeat the defenders of Earth and whatever happened to Thor. Star-Lord replied that one of the major advantages hey have over the Avengers is that they needed just one bite to infect the others. With Groot by their side it should be an easy deed to do. The Guardian's ship arrived at Wakanda and Black Panther was alerted that something was spotted outside of their defense's premises. The Guardians told him that it was just a ship and there were several individuals who came out of the ship and the individuals did not look suspicious and Black Panther set out several guards to survey the situation. The guards approached the Guardians and requested for their purpose of landing at Wakanda. Star-Lord who still had his helmet asked them if they knew where the remaining Infinity Stones are. The guards merely replied that they are unaware of it and told the Guardians to return from wherever they belong. Drax who was starving for flesh charged and jumped onto one of the guards before slashing them One of the guards managed to flee and reported to Black Panther via his earpiece and that these strange individuals have attacked them and caused the other guards to turn into zombie-like creatures As he was about to report more he was stabbed in the back by Gamora and his neck was ripped off. Black Panther told the other Avengers that it seems like the threat has arrived earlier than anticipated. He told the Wakandans to prepare the defenses and Black Panther saw from afar that there were two spaceships that landed. One was the spaceship that had the other people who attacked his guards and the other was a huge spaceship and Black Panther saw that many people were coming out from the spaceship. On Star-Lord’s side they have already seized the Grandmaster’s spaceship. The ship was already carrying the Asgardians and they had already bitten half of the Asgardians and eaten the remaining ones. They didn't want to kill off all of them as they wanted to have a sufficient army to devour Earth. The zombified Asgardians were black, hideous and smashing themselves against the barriers of Wakanda. Groot used his limbs to carry the Asgardian spaceship and threw them against the barrier eventually crippling Wakanda's defenses. The zombified Asgardians charged towards the Avengers and a huge chaos ensued and the fallen Wakandans immediately turned into zombies and started biting and infecting the others. Captain America told the other Avengers that they needed to fall back as being bitten is not an option. The Avengers retreated to the base and Shuri was still researching on Thor and discovered that Thor's body has been infused with some sort of toxic blood that triggered their minds to be craving for flesh only She said that searching for the cure could take a long time as the source of blood is unidentifiable. Iron man asked Doctor Strange what would be the next course of action to which he replied that he would try and see into the future to see the possible outcomes. Doctor Strange told them that there could be only one possible solution to the problem whereby someone needs to wield the Infinity Gauntlet to turn the situation around. However, doing so would result in death as nobody is capable of wielding it alone and if not then it's just a matter of time before the entire earth will be filled with zombies. Iron Man looked at the rest of them and told them to hold off the zombie horde without getting infected as much as they can. Spider-Man asked him on what he was going to do and Stark merely replied “something that could save us from this mess”. The Avengers eventually faced the Guardians and the zombies. Several Avengers have been infected already such as black widow Okoye, M’Baku and Hawkeye have already been bitten. Captain America told Iron Man that they are on the verge of collapsing. The Guardians stormed into the facilities where Doctor Strange and Vision were staying. Star-Lord told him that the last two remaining stones which are the Time and Mind Stones is needed to complete the gauntlet. Doctor Strange and Vision tried their best to shield off of the attacks from The Guardians alongside Cap, Spider-Man, Bucky and Wanda and a clash ensued with Star-Lord who had all the stones. The remaining Avengers were being overwhelmed by the massive number of zombies and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Star-Lord has acquired the gauntlet from Eltri the master forge who created for Mjolnir for Thor after forcing Eltri to create the gauntlet for the stones. He and the other Guardians feasted on him and the other dwarves for destroying their planet with the Infinity Gauntlet now in his hand. Star-Lord and his Guardians managed to overwhelm the Avengers. Drax stabbed Doctor Strange in the gut before he could use the Time Stone to reverse time while Gamora used Corvus’s glaive to Vision. Groot then ripped off the stone from Vision's skull while the other Asgardian zombies tore apart Strange. On the brink of victory Star-Lord placed the remaining stones into the gauntlet. He was about to snap before Spider-Man who was still alive webbed up Star-Lord's hand. He shot out electrical webs to Star-Lord incapacitating him. However, Star-Lord now with the gauntlet reversed time with the Time Stone and brought himself close to Spider-Man before shooting his head off with his gun. With another pest gone Star-Lord was about to snap when Iron Man appeared and chopped off Star-Lord's hand with his upgraded axe. Iron man grabbed Star-Lord's missing hand and placed it on his suit. His suit's wrist changed to reassemble the Infinity Gauntlet. Iron Man gathered all the Infinity Stones and looked at the chaos around him. Almost everyone has been zombified except for him and Captain America. He told Captain America that while the others are mindless and zombified he hoped that by snapping they would return to their senses and this zombie incident never occurred in the first place. He added that Doctor Strange probably foreseen the scenario and the zombies were approaching him swiftly. Iron Man then snapped his fingers and all of a sudden everyone who was zombified started turning back to normal. Their skin became normal and they started to look human again. However all of them had one thing in common. They lost their memories of what happened from the entire zombie incident. It all felt like a really bad dream and Captain America was the only sole survivor who remembered what happened. Tony used all of his last strength to snap and eventually died due to his immense pressure from snapping. The rest of the Avengers were shocked to see that their leader Iron Man was dead resting in Pepper's arms. When they asked Captain America what happened he merely replied that Iron Man sacrificed himself for the greater good of the universe causing the zombie threat to be destroyed. A grand funeral was held for Iron Man and although they were unaware of the exact details they knew that the universe was still safe for now...

                                                        THE END!

And that is going to be my version of what if the Marvel Zombies storyline had occurred within the MCU timeline and what if it started in 2017 with Thor Ragnarok rather than in 2018 in Ant-Man and the Wasp. I had a lot of fun making this fan fiction and I believe that Hela’s dead army could’ve been a better candidate to start the virus as they were zombies in a way and I think this would’ve definitely change Infinity War and prevent the main events of Endgame from ever happening. This is my first ever creepypasta fan fiction because I wanted to make the story creepier than the episode and upcoming show and I believe this is creepy enough which btw I can’t wait to see what Marvel does next with the TV show and I did this just in time for the Halloween season and I will be doing my continuation on Episode 5 leading into the show and also a fan fiction that’s coming soon so be on the lookout for that and more what ifs coming soon. Take care guys and have a fantastic day. Peace out!
