Use your non-dominant hand.

But it’s a cheap device. Might as well give someone cancer to make us feel sad. And it’s even more cheap when we know they’re coming back for their next movies.

That should literally be true of everything that’s happened in every movie, though (with the exception of Quill, who held an Infinity Stone and then forgot that they’re actually more powerful than hurt feelings). With few exceptions, everyone always learns something. So their deaths aren’t actually unique in that…

Perfectly stated. The stakes don’t seem real. Nice and simple.

Which I could get behind, but I’m not sure if they’re willing to have her not being there be part of The Avengers and not GotG.

I think all that that’s sticking from the first one is Loki. Everyone else is coming back. Maybe Cap bites it in 2.

The difference being that HP was set solidly on a very very popular book that was read by probably the majority of audiences. And Harry dying wasn’t a twist or something thrown in to court an emotional reaction purely for the sake of an emotional reaction.

I really hope the movies don’t give him a pass because, “he had no choice.”

Except, no. Bucky belongs in prison. Mind control or not, he murdered a lot of people.

I was originally going for a joke about how stupid it would be. But I read over my comment to make sure I didn’t spell anything wrong, and, oh shit, it made sense.

Nothing beats a Captain America that committed secret acts of terror, murder, and espionage. Oh, and escapes prosecution.

The problem now is everyone is already expecting Cap (or Tony, but that’ll never happen because they’ll retire him and use him to justify all the new tech) to probably die. So even if anyone dies, we’re completely expecting it.

Oh, you mean an actual death would’ve had actual consequences? That would’ve been terrible. I mean, it’s not like defending the international terrorist that murdered your friend’s parents in cold blood could ever do that. Good thing they didn’t put anything permanent between them. I know Tony only just loved his…

I don’t know how you can be impacted by something that you know instantly won’t last. It’s like when Mad Dog shot Marty. You knew immediately Marty wasn’t dead. No one lost sleep over it. No one cried.

Vision hasn’t earned a hero arc. Outside of AoU, he’s been largely useless. He basically existed to remind us there’s an infinity stone right there. Thor already had a few big hero arcs. Hulk has been enslaved, knocked out, and then hiding. He’s coming out for one big reason. He’s snatching the gauntlet and saving the…

I think Hulk needs a triumphant return. He’s getting it.

There’s no way Marvel has the balls to kill Captain America. Like I said elsewhere, they couldn’t even kill Warmachine, and he should’ve died pretty hard.

If they weren’t so liberal with who they killed off, then that’s tension. But the movie’s been out a week and already everyone knows the basic plot of the next movie. I’m not sad Spiderman or Black Panther died because I already know they’re coming back. You kill Tony or Cap? Shit, that’s real.

My 6-year old didn’t care about Han because he likes Kylo. I enjoyed it because they finally made the heroes vulnerable.

Peter Parker is going to have a problem seeing as he died and then looked up to see Tony gone.
