Thor didn't need Stormbreaker for his powers or anything, it's just specifically designed to kill Thanos and has nothing to do with his powers like Mjolnir did so I don't really see it as a step back.

Even supposing Strange could stop time infinitely across the universe without breaking it (he can't) you're also making a huge assumption that he can teleport to other planets.

This is incredibly dumb because it's clear in the film that teleportation has limitations. Strange would have just teleported back to Earth from the donut ship if he could do that instead of trying go figure out how to turn it around then going with Tony's plan.

There was definitely a topic on this board of people saying it was bad when it came out because I was like "whaaat"

Maybe people softened on it since

I'm pretty sure that was mostly just the person who made the topic. Don't remember who that was.

Nanis?


He made a Homecoming hate topic IIRC but I don't think it was him for GotG2.

I remember someone complaining that the Yondu/Quill relationship wasn't hinted at in the first movie which is like blatantly false but I can't remember if that was here or on the comics board.

- was stan lee's line about being a fedex guy a reference to civil war? was he actually there as stan lee?


it's confirmed that every stan lee cameo is the same character as an informer for the watchers


And he's also not entirely subject to the laws of time because he references his Civil War cameo but GotG2 is set in 2014, prior to Civil War.

Granted that's probably just an oversight but hey I like the idea of Time Lord Stan Lee.

Souls games don't have a bad camera system, Ulti is just bad at parts of them and refuses to admit that so he blames the camera.

See any of his Hearthstone or Warcraft III posts for similar examples of this behavior!

Lmao, I think I rated every game in that series a 9 or above? Maybe an 8 for Demons Souls. Its one of gamings best series, but extreme camera zoom near walls and big enemies prevents it from being THE best series. Hearthstone and WC3 are trash. Souls is great despite the idiotic camera zoom.

Board 8 can troll all it wants, Souls games having a bad camera is a widespread belief.


Thanks for another great example!

All of this should have been completely irrelevant, because there's absolutely no reason that Strange shouldn't have just used the time stone to stop Thanos from getting all the stones the moment he knew that he had already gotten some of them.

Time travel is as only as precise as the knowledge of where you want to go. Even so, how would he have traveled all over the Universe, gathering up the stones before Thanos could find them? The Sling Ring might allow travel between two points, but it has never been specified what the maximum distance between those two points is.


He can literally just freeze time at will. He can also reverse time at will. Apparently he was doing his time rewinds with Dormammu for thousands of years. There's no reason he wouldn't be able to stop Thanos.


And the Dr. Strange movie also establishes that fucking with time to that degree could be potentially catastrophic. It only worked in Dormammu's dimension because he brought the entire concept of time there with him and only the two of them were affected.

Nice that you ignored that part of the movie since it contradicts your points!

Thanos didn't use the stone at all when he whupped Hulk though.

The stones glow when he uses them. He kicked Hulk's ass all on his own.

As for Cap...Thanos wasn't having trouble, at all from what I could tell. I think Cap realized very quickly that Thanos needed to make a fist to use the gauntlet and he was trying to keep his hand open. Thanos' face is one of intrigue before he decks him and ends it.

Per the Russos Banner and Hulk are in the middle of a three movie arc from Ragnarok to A4.

He spent two years (probably longer due to Sakaar's time shenanigans) as a bully winning fixed fights on Sakaar that he didn't know were fixed, advanced to a childlike state, then got his ass beat and did what any child would do and hid.

Banner and Hulk will come to terms and finish out the arc.

Banner was fine in this movie. Not sure why people have such a beef with him.

Stormbreaker's handle isn't part of Groot anymore anyway, it's now part of Stormbreaker or else it would have disappeared along with Groot.

Thought it was pretty clear from the dialogue and the scene itself that once Stormbreaker was put together it became one unified piece due to magic shenanigans, or else the handle would just snap from the strain.

they said that Spider-Man hung on so long because he was actively fighting against disappearing, so that makes me wonder - did Bucky die going, "this is fine"


Who said that?

He didn't really take much longer once the actual disappearing started, he just realized that something was wrong before it started happening, most likely due to his Spider Sense going nuts and him not knowing why.

Mantis also clearly senses something before she poofed, but no one else notices until they see it visually.

Spidey was the worst, Falcon was pretty bad too because no one sees him go.

I guess I didn't know about that. He never did anything in the Mistborn books, I don't even remember most of his appearances in those. Did we ever see him using those abilities?

I do remember him having Breath though


When he's talking to Jasnah at the end of WoR she notes that he stirs some metal flakes into a liquid solution and downs it. And if you'll recall in Well of Ascension before Vin gives Elend the lerasium bead turning him into a Mistborn she notices another bead is missing and Sanderson confirmed that Wit took said bead and was a random guard that reports to Vin/Elend not long before that.

Feruchemy use is just confirmed via Sanderson. I'm guessing he uses it for his memory - dude seems to remember literally everything.

The quick and easy answer is that the Infinity Gauntlet that was fashioned for Thanos is not the first one in the MCU.


This. The idea of the gauntlet was always around, Odin may have even commissioned a prototype.

And I already answered the question of how Thanos had it in AoU without Asgard knowing the last time you asked that question Anagram. Loki was on the throne and not doing Odin's job properly.

I'm kinda bummed that Captain America really didn't have a "moment" with Thanos. Of course he didn't have his proper shield so I assume at some point he's gonna get to smack Thanos in the face with it.


We still haven't followed up on Cap budging Mjolnir a bit in AoU and A4 is rumored to involve time travel so I'm picturing Cap just beating the piss out of Thanos with shield + time travel retrieved Mjolnir.

He still needs to drop an "Avengers assemble!" before he bites it too.
