If Thanos had done his thing it should have all happened at the same time, the infinity gauntlet shouldn't have bandwidth problems where there's a queue for people disintegrating.

It also doesn't actually matter in super hero stories if somebody dies. Chances are if the character is popular enough that people care they'll be back.

This is why i was just like  after the end of infinity war. Like yeah a lot of people just died but there's no way a comic book franchise will let it last so why should i even care. Every single one of those people who died will come back.

It's a magic trick. All that matters is if they managed to make you have an emotional response at the moment. Nothing holds up to scrutiny later. Also a bunch of the actors' contracts are finished and they are definitely not coming back.

I would be happy if most of the characters in the avengers died. Like who gives a poo poo if you have a guy who can shoot an arrow good or a guy who can shot web or a guy with good technology when you have actual gods and wizards? The battle with Thanos should have just been Thor and dr strange because everyone else was 100% irrelevant.

I almost entirely forgot who supposedly died and who didn't the second I left the theater. It all felt ultimately meaningless, like everything that happens in a Marvel movie, because they will just retcon whatever they want when it's convenient for them. Tbh I'm fully expecting a huge twist that is just as dumb as the ending to Infinity War and none of that poo poo will have mattered, or you find out Iron man is actually the one that is dead because RDJ doesn't want to do the character anymore.

Even if he was confident he could keep it, killing half just doesn't make sense. Everyone hates him. Why wouldn't you kill everyone and recreate the universe as you see fit? It was a super-contrived thing for some avengers to die and some not die. If Thanos was a real thing there would be no time for i don't feel so good, everyone would disappear and he'd reboot it.

Thanos did it like that on purpose, for the drama and the lols. Judging by various other things he's done he's clearly a great connoisseur of both.

I know I've seen something about Gwen Stacy being alive in the past ten years and it was pretty  because she and Bucky were literally the only characters from my childhood that people thought of as really dead. (Besides Dracula and Hell Cow I guess.)e: Forgot about Jean Grey.

How the gently caress did I forget Uncle Ben  I guess the reason is he never was much of a character since unlike Gwen and Bucky he only appeared in the first story to be killed off?

Batman's dad isn't really even a character since literally the only thing I as a reader knew about him was that he's the biggest dumb-rear end in town and if he wasn't so god-drat in love with money and possessions, his wife would still be alive.

For awhile Barry Allen was also on the Do Not Resurrect list because he had such a good, sacrificial send off in Crisis on Infinite Earths which paved the way for the mantle to be passed on to Wally West and other speedsters. Then Geoff Johns had to crap all over that so that comics could be the same way they were when he was a kid.

Guy Goodbody posted:There are many movies based on books that are better than the book they are based on I know this is from a page ago, but: I read all the James Bond books a long time ago, and I'm trying to figure out which ones were better than the movie afterwards. The best books generally were ones where the movie stuck relatively close (From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service), then ones that changed key points (Goldfinger: instead of nuking Fort Knox, his plan was just to rob it using the mob), and finally ones where the producers completely changed everything (The Spy Who Loved Me, You Only Live Twice). PHUO: Diamonds Are Forever is a good Bond movie, and Moonraker is dumb, but fun if you remember it was made in the post-Star Wars sci-fi boom.

There are several alt-universe versions of Batman's dad where he is Batman instead of Bruce Wayne (and they have interacted with the main version of Batman).

I think Gwen Stacy might be one of the few non-origin characters to have died and stayed dead, sans the alternate universe versions. Although the most prominent one comes from a universe where Peter Parker died so at least that’s interesting.
