mary had a little clam posted:That pic has me thinking about Thanos either himself taking the time or hiring someone to install rocket boosters on his arm rest rocks instead of just having an actual chair. Arms are optional on most office chairs. That's a Herman Miller Rock Throne he's sitting on there, nothing but the best for a son of the Titans.

I think all space chairs just come standard equipped with the rockets, he didn't have to order special or anything.

You know how it is, you get a giant rock and everyone chips in to make it the best space chair. None of this second-hand bullshit for Thanos.

jivjov posted:Inhumans the film was cancelled, replaced by Inhumans the TV show, starting next year. I bet you they kill Shield and keep Skye for it. That show was poo poo in it's first season (until the end) and it never recovered from it; it's actually a lot of fun now but it's hard to win back a reputation. It doesn't help that because Coulson lives in it, and the MCU people are against that idea, it'll never ever get acknowledged (where the Netflix shows almost certainly will next phase).

It would have been cooler if his chair were made of the "souls/bodies" of the semi-living damned that were mostly stationary but pulsing or struggling to move and horrific expression on face.

Kind of crazy that earth ended up having like 80% of the infinity stones. Also q: is thanos supposed to be more powerful than Dormammu?

Jay-V posted:Kind of crazy that earth ended up having like 80% of the infinity stones. Earth only had the time stone and space stone. The reality stone was found when Jane got stuck in another world or dimension. Loki brought the mind stone. And the power stone was never there. In the Dark Dimension, Dormammu is all powerful. Thanos is basically impossible to kill and has strength on par with Thor, or better. But he mainly is a great thinker, and unstoppable by almost anyone but himself. I'd say Dormammu has more power, but Thanos is smarter and more of a threat.

In the comics, at least. In the movies, Thanos lost the mind gem because he gave it to noted trickster god Loki and sent him to Earth with it. Though maybe some writer can give that a spin to suggest it was all part of the plan.

I honestly can't wait for the Infinity Stones story to end. A personality-less purple monster man using 6 MacGuffins to, I assume, create a world-destroying pillar of light is not something I needed several films to establish. Dr. Strange is cool, though. Hopefully he gets the Eye back after Thanos steals it. Or he doesn't, whatever. Strange fighting Mordo sounds way more interesting.

Just because Thanos has no personality now doesn't mean he won't. Thanos is one of Marvel's best villains in the comics. Which means they're probably going to gently caress him up 100%, so never mind.

Like 12 movies in and I still don't know what he wants. I get that the stones are powerful, but what are they for? Does he hate Asgard or something? It's not really tangible what his goals are.

well why not posted:Like 12 movies in and I still don't know what he wants. I get that the stones are powerful, but what are they for? Does he hate Asgard or something? It's not really tangible what his goals are. They go into an extremely stylish glove that lets him use all of them in tandem at once to become a god like being. Then basically an arc of the avengers getting jobbed before one of them wins through heart or whatever.

It's not really tangible what his goals are. In his very first appearance one of his henchmen says "to attack earth is to court death" and Thanos smiles. That is his motivation. He loves Death.

I'm saying it again. "he has a crush on the grim reaper who is dating another guy" is just the kind of story you can do in a comic where there is a billion issues and that part of the story can be real far away from the part of the story he's supposed to be scary or badass. I just can not imagine a 3 hour movie having a scene where he has to explain his motivations and have it be "I got cucked by deadpool" and then have the movie go back to him being a scary threat.

This was fun and better than I expected, I did like the way Dr. Strange "won" at the end and this might be the only time I've liked Benedict Cumberbatch in a role because I find him totally intolerable anyway. The only thing I need now is that gif of him and Chiwetel Ejiofor jumping around without special effects because its hilarious

I liked the movie, but in retrospect it felt like all those other sorcerers must have been pretty incompetent, if Strange could knock Kaecilius' goons off one by one and all the people with a lifetime of training and a bunch of spells and artifacts or whatever all got punked instantly. I mean, it doesn't feel like it'd be asking for much to at least have some visible signs of a fight, or some already-defeated minions strewn around so that it's obvious that people besides the main characters actually bothered to do something. Buzkashi posted:It seemed super cheap and silly but holy poo poo did I crack up at the exchange I loved this bit. It packs a huge amount of personality for Kaecilius into just a couple of seconds.

Nessus posted:They did that, I thought: you just sort of see it in reverse and obviously in the background because Strange is approaching the actual core epicenter. In this context he has good reason not to care a ton about Acolyte #39, he's focused on undoing the Real Bad. I think Strange only beats two of the goons, both times by outthinking them - the one he strands in the desert, and the one the Cloak of Levitation beats up while Strange fights him in astral form in the hospital - who he beats by having the doctor lady fibrillate his body.

Maybe that page isn't the funniest thing of all time, to each his own, but it also doesn't strike me as particularly Tumblr-ish. Like once he got the money he didn't say "now I can buy all the things!" or something.
