Current Events > The powercreep (or inverse) in the MCU was fairly apparent in Infinity War tbh

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tony can't beat Cap in close combat yet can go toe to toe with Thanos (even if he deals no damage)?

Vision is a force to be reckoned with in Civil War but spends most of IW getting impaled?

Black Widow totally didn't die to fucking alien dogs during the Wakanda battle? I can understand fighting the Children of Thanos but she should've been rekt by the normal enemies

Cap jobs to Thanos in seconds? Partially justified due to having almost all of the stones but still a poor showing

Wanda can blow up Vision and hold back Thanos but can't fight his henchmen without the rogue Avengers to help?

I can understand making Thanos a tough opponent but only Thor actually landed a decent hit on him the entire movie, it's frustrating

1. New suit.

2. The stab fucked up his powers.

3. What?

4. Uh, yeah? Cap's a dude.

5. Wanda is special when it comes to Vision since her powers come from the stone.

Tony got a massive power boost with that new armor of his lol. That Civil War fight would have been very different if he had that.

Vision was injured after a backstab in his case to be fair. You could argue this threw off Scarlett Witch too. She did hold her own against two of the major minions. And yeah Cap had no chance in that fight.

No idea about Black Widow though. I guess she's just supposed to be that good at hand to hand combat lol

That punch from Thanos should have shattered Cap's head.

Seriously, Thanos schooled Hulk with his fists alone.

scarlet witch survived a blow

How can people lol@ Hawkeye when Black Widow is outclassed in literally every major fight she's in

I hope that solo movie makes her look more believable

I'm pretty sure Thanos was keeping everyone alive at the end on purpose. At that point the snap will decide their fate.
---

Btw, the surviving Asgardians probably got halved again lol.

Oh yeah Hulk

Fucking Hulk

That's not what the Worf effect means.

Hulk got clowned because it's fucking Thanos, it's the first time he's gone against someone who is in his weight class and fighting to win.

And yet fucking Cap tanked a hit from Thanos, WITH the Infinity Stones.

Cap is a powercreep in general when you consider his abilities

Thanos knew he was in for a fight with Hulk. He just randomly threw a punch at Cap while walking along and didn't expect any resistance from him. It's not like it mattered anyway.
---

Thanos avoided outright killing anyone if he could, allowing a more fair snap of the fingers to make the decision.

wait. that's at least not that bad of a thing. it's Wanda surviving a hit from thanos that makes no sense.

cap has survived falling from the top of a missile silo. he's superhuman.

If he could.

The dwarves were a loose end.

Notice how everything was going just fine for him until Thor showed up with a dwarf-made weapon.

Gotta nip that shit in the bud.

Cap did not tank a hit from Thanos. He got knocked on the ground. Tanking would suggest taking multiple hits and not being hurt by it. You are really reaching with all these "points".

True, Scarlet Witch shoved him straight into the friend hole in Civil War.

Surprised he ended up tapping that. She didn't seem interested at all in CW. Must have used the Mind Stone to trick her lol.

I mean it was pretty likely given their bizarre relationship in the comics, but having the whole relationship happen off screen was kinda weak tbh

New suit and technology.

He got hurt early and lost a lot of his power.

She's a pretty good fighter. She also had a lot of help with the Wakandans and whatnot.

Thanos had 4 stones. No one was going to beat him unless they were all healthy and together.

2v1 and his "henchmen" aka the Black Order are actually super powerful.

Seems like you're just complaining to complain.

why not just put spoilers in the topic title so every post isn't a black bar?
