They sacked up and eliminated Spider-Man (even with a super schmaltzy vanishing scene, because Stan Lee influence). Oh how happy I was when that occurred. This was the first movie in a long time where the villain won and the consequences could actually be felt. Whether they will stick with this, I don't know. But it was a GREAT ending and I was satisfied. Of course it wont' stick. The villain has a time and reality altering magic space glove, and the individual superheroes have films that make a billion dollars in some cases. Should be a heck of a ride though. I wonder how traumatized some children are after seeing that. I know there was one kid at the showing I went to, he wasn't exactly traumatized, per se, but I did hear him say how sad he was that Spider-Man died as we were leaving the theater. I felt bad for the kid, he couldn't have been any more than 6, and I can't imagine being that young and falling in love with Spider-Man from Homecoming and possibly not knowing much history about the character, only to see him disappear in a puff of ash.

They confirmed he's coming back for Captain Marvel, so that's actually not outside the realm of possibility. The problem is, the movie is a prequel from the 90's, that's why Ronan is back in the movie, more than likely in a pre-Accuser role. This is the problem with Marvel movies, every true villain is pretty much dead save for Zemo and the Vulture, and I don't see them being much help. Really, if the Fox/Disney deal shakes out in time for them to start building it up, this would be a perfect opportunity to bring in the F4 in the Surprise Spider-Man in Civil War role. But I doubt they will, as they've already got A4 in the can and there's been no leak about anyone being directly cast as the team. It's gonna be Killmonger back from the dead to flame on. Cap just shakes his head in jealousy.

I wonder how traumatized some children are after seeing that. My daughter was definitely affected, but more so by Gamora's death than any other death. I guess the father/daughter dynamic (God I feel skeevy typing that in relation to Gamora/Thanos) was a lot to take in for a young girl. Plus she really rocks with Gamora, the strongest woman in the universe. I'm pretty sure the hard ending isn't gonna stick, but damn it I'm gonna enjoy it. Now to dress up and go to the Premiere of Deadpool 2 tonight.

Reminds me of a story of a kid who was really sad about Spidey being dusted, but they stayed for the post-credits with their dad. Once the Captain Marvel symbol appeare don the screen, the dad started telling their kid about how awesome Carol Danvers was and how she was gonna help the Avengers beat up Thanos. In short, I really think that Captain Marvel will be a very popular character with the kids.

I really enjoyed the movie and was definitely surprised by the ending. I'd assumed they's kill a few characters, but not as many as they actually did! Made Thanos into a great villain for me. But I do get the feeling that most, if not all, of them will be resurrected somehow. Hope I'm wrong on that though.

Finally got round to seeing it 3 days ago and it completely blew my mind.
I had avoided all spoilers going in but I knew somebody was going to die. My money was on Captain America. I never thought for a second that so many would die. To have the balls to kill off Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr Strange & the whole of the Guardians bar one was amazing. When Starlord was watching everyone else fade away I thought no way is he going...and then he went.
The ending just wow. When Thanos sat down I thought ok what next? How are the surviving members of the Avengers going to defeat Thanos and win this movi.....oh no what it's finished!? You're kidding me?! I just loved the balls of it.
What this movie did so well was turn what could have been a complete cluster of a movie and made everyone feel important. And the emotion was just pouring out of this film. Thor losing his brother, Nebula & Starlord losing Gamorra, Rocket losing Groot, Stark losing Parker, Strange sacrificing his stone to save Stark going against everything he had said earlier in the film, Scarlot watching Vision die (twice!).
Strange said it during the movie, they had basically no chance. I scoffed at it. He was right.

Thinking about the movie a bit more, & "All that for a drop of blood" might be the very best line in the film. I can't recall EVER seeing Iron Man fight that well and it didn't make a damn bit of difference. Incredible

I still don't really buy Strange with the 14 million scenarios and the only one that works is 1 thing. I mean if Thor simply hits Thanos in the head or cuts his arm off the Avengers likely win this, and that's 2 different scenarios out of 14 million right there. Or had Strange not contemplated Stormbreaker as a variable in all of this?

Or had Strange not contemplated Stormbreaker as a variable in all of this? The scenario isn't the method, but whether in the end it stops Thanos enacting his plan. Maybe Thor aims for the head in another timeline, but misses? Or he doesn't miss but the power of the stones actually keep Thanos alive. Say they cut off his arm but Thanos escapes, reclaims the Gauntlet later, and does the snap anyway.

But that's more like scenarios where it is 50/50 as to whether the plan works and not some insane 14 million to 1 shot.

The one constant in the equation is Thanos wiping out half the life in the universe and it being permanent. The 14 million variables are the ways the Avengers and their allies attempt to stop that eventuality from happening. One must assume that since we're talking about a fictional universe where characters can and have come back from death that even simply killing Thanos does not prevent him from ultimately fulfilling his plan. It's speculation, but I could see Avengers 4 ending with Thanos being convinced to see the error of his ways and undoing the snap himself, or the events that set him on the path (the destruction of Titan) being undone and avoided.

Saw the movie today. I honestly thought, with all the memes going around of it, that Captain America was the one that delivered the "I don't feel so good" line.
I have a feeling that, like GotG2, Avengers 4 will have multiple mid-credit scenes. I can already see one of them being the Sovereign giving Adam Strange one of the stones to awaken with.

I think one will tease the new story arc running across post-Avengers 4, while another will be a final farewell to the "old guard" of the MCU.

My eight year old son really didn't seem to care when everyone started vanishing. Or maybe I was so into it I didn't notice his reactions. But he never said much after the movie was over about it. I think he was more confused than anything.
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I remember I was his age when the Transformers animated movie came out and I was scarred when all the characters I'd grown up with got vaporized in the first half an hour.

Logical explanation: 14 million of anything is ultimately microscopic in the grand design of the Marvel "infinite realities" lore. Strange is still somewhat new to his own powers, and likely when traveling through realities, traveled through closely-linked ones in which the differences were minor. Had he kept going, he likely would have found just as many realities where Thanos arrived to find Earth taken over by Ultrons.

I suppose kids might take it as more of a magical vanishing thing than dying. Transformers was straight up, unambiguous murdering with laser guns.

It should hit $2 billion in the next few days, and Marvel are hopeful it'll pass Force Awakens.
