After his stunt, Death still won’t go out with him. (“Not even if you were the last guy alive, so don’t try it!”) The Avengers catch up with depressed Thanos and take him out drinking. Once he’s really drunk, the servers (disguised Avengers) stop noticing him when he tries to order another round. In a drunken rage he snaps his fingers to get their attention and undoes his first snap. The End.
That’s a sarcastic response to some one who misunderstood my point.
Oh and it seems like in the UK both Deadpool movies were rated 15 (In Ireland 16). So even them official censors were down with it being super possible for younger people to see it than the MPAA.
…uh… erm… Who defines “sufficient resources”, then?
(Am I missing a big, big /s here, Melz? This sounds like a total nightmare. I actually prefer the snapture. Children of Men would look like Your Personal Happy Place if one really thought this through.)
in regards to the “Thanos killed all living things (not just people)” point…To be fair…it’s just a sort of twisted fix for the adaptation to film from comics. IN the comics he only kills have the sentient beings in the universe with the snap. His motivations are to win the love and favor of the Spirit of Death whom he worships. He believes sending her that many souls will win her love.
Obviously they were never going to use that motivation and story in the movie story line…so it was re-written to be about a merciful solution to overpopulation and limited resources. Which helps to muddle him as a villain and make us empathize with his side of things “He’s not a mass murderer…he’s protecting the environment!!” And when they wrote it as “living things” they clearly were not thinking about the full ramifications on that. Clearly not half of all the blades of grass disappeared…nor half the bananas on a tree…etc. And I think Feige’s “Oh no…he wiped out animals and such too…all living things!” is merely to make it seem like Thanos is more of a monster than audiences felt at first. As if just showing up with an army and shooting half the population wasn’t bad enough…now he made a puppy disappear too!!!
I am with @Melz2 on the “Don’t worry it’s all a do-over anyway” front. I am sure there will be some permanent changes like perhaps those who died before the Snappening (Loki, Heimdahl, Gamora) are permanently gone. Or perhaps it will be that everything will be restored but some of big names (who’s contracts are up: Iron Man, Thor, Cap) will sacrifice themselves to undo the Snappening.
The only clear thing here is this film sort of ends Phase 3 to begin Phase 4.
There’s some contention about Gamora being “gone for good” because her death was the catalyst for retrieving the Soul Stone. Loki is questionable simply because it’s Loki, the trickster who has faked his own death repeatedly. Heimdahl, being that he’s both Black and Idris Elba is over playing that role, will likely remain dead.
I anticipate that the ‘undo’ will include the mirco-realm, time travel and something involving the sorcerer supreme.
So about younger kids being able to see Deadpool in the US…FX decided to broadcast Deadpool, unedited (as far as I could tell), at 7 PM EST over multiple days…
Not all parents are fully vigilant of what their kids are watching before prime-time.
I actually think a lot is going to have to do with Captain Marvel. I feel like they know that putting a bunch of eggs in that female lead basket is a good idea. But I get the thought of it being time stone/SS related. They can also easily point to the comic book “loop hole” that anyone killed by or for the Soul Stone is never actually dead and merely trapped within it. This would apply to Gamora too in theory…but hey…COMIC BOOK LOGIC FTW.
Heimdahl was a fan fave…I think it has everything to do with Elba’s clear and obvious choice to not be a part of anything Marvel again. He (much like Portman and Weaving) all wanted out and got their wishes.
The known (out of contract) players leaving are: Evans, Downey Jr, Hemsworth, Pratt, Hiddleston, Jackson, Renner, and Ruffalo. OFC any of them can renew their contract at anytime without any issue…so the contract situation is as dead as any comic book death ever is.
When my spouse and I watched it in the theaters…a couple had their ~6 and ~3 yr olds with them.
I asked the movie theater manager afterwards and she said “Honestly…the only movie rating we can ban them from is NC17…other wise as long as they have a parent/guardian with them, we have to let them in”.
Forget monitoring what they watch…some people purposefully expose them too it.
I think they all get “tired” of playing certain roles (whether it’s the same character over and over or an archetype)…but then they also remember how much they like that paycheck and a certain standard of living and all that and change their minds.
Taking Iron Man out of the MCU would also help from a logical narrative standpoint since it would finally put the question “why doesn’t Tony just give all his allies awesome super-suits?” to rest.
Similarly I hope Vision stays dead forever. Overpowered characters with ambiguously defined limitations and abilities are just boring because it’s hard to come up with any scenario that poses a real challenge. That’s why Martian Manhunter spends almost all his time sitting up in a space station instead of fighting bad guys with the rest of the Justice League.
