Topic	Avengers Endgame was disappointing :( *Massive Spoilers

He still managed to go head-to-head with all of The Avengers' strongest and ultimately only lost because Ironman managed to get the stones away from him for the few seconds he needed to write Thanos out of existence. It's not like he wasn't a serious threat, he was just a threat that could actually be faced in open combat instead of being so omnipotent that the only way to fight him was to outsmart and outmanoeuvre him. Pretty sure Captain Marysue could have solo'd him without the stones. darcandkharg31 posted... Eventually, Cap was kinda kicking his ass there a minute. ...and Hulk got some hits in at first before Thanos overpowered him. And bear in mind that Mjolnir would have augmented Cap's strength and Cap's advantage was his greater agility and martial prowess, whereas Hulk merely relies on brute force and is less maneuverable. emagdnE posted... Oh please. Everyone was expecting either Iron Man, Captain America, OR both Iron Man AND Captain America to die. (They basically killed off Captain America without actually killing him as he presumably dies of old age off-screen.) Some people thought Thor would be written out too since he was too OP with Stormbreaker at the end of Infinity War. (Instead, they just found a way to weaken him.) Yeah, Cap's ending was hella bullshit. emagdnE posted... They were never going to run with Thanos and NOT have major permanent deaths. He is for all intents and purposes the ultimate Marvel villain. He ranks up there, but... no, not really. He's among the strongest villains and has been the focus of multiple team-ups, but the same is true of a lot of other villains, especially ones who also had power-ups. He's certainly one of the more famous examples, but you have other characters in his same boat like Beyonder who headlined the Secret Wars storylines which are every bit as well-known as the Infinity Gems arcs. emagdnE posted... (Doctor Doom actually joined up with the remaining heroes to fight Thanos in the comic storyline where he had the Infinity Stones.) Which is a meaningless statement because anybody with the Infinity Gems is a threat because the gems themselves are the threat. And there are a lot of characters who can use the Infinity Gems, including lesser-knowns like Hood who used two of the gems. Honestly, you could put any major Marvel villain in Thanos's slot if you gave them the Infinity Gems. emagdnE posted... Also I think people forget that Scarlet Witch got her powers directly from an Infinity Stone to begin with, was able to DESTROY said Infinity Stone, and was able to push Thanos with 5 Infinity Stones back while she was destroying said Infinity Stone. She's one of the most powerful Earth based characters in the comics to begin with. She just got nerfed for the movies less than everyone else. No kidding. In the comics, she could subsconsciously rewrite reality on a whim and was powerful enough to depower almost all of the world's mutants. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:938273930] in Avengers E...
