EPISODE 14
Infinity War Processing Part 2
Episode Notes
Summary
Topics Discussed in this Episode
- Infinity War was really an origin story of Thanos
- Thanos and Captain America’s opposing ideologies – we don’t trade lives vs one life for millions/kill the few to save many
- Frustration with Starlord – he lost everything so he couldn’t let go of Thanos killing Gamora even if it was for the greater good
- Joe thought everyone was going to die and Vision would bring people back with the time stone
- Lauren knew who was going to die, but still cried through the whole movie
- Joe and Lauren discuss their major dislike of spoilers without warnings
- Joe’s theory about which characters are actually dead – he thinks it’s everyone who died before Thanos’ snap
- Lauren’s theory – maybe the bearers of each stone will be trapped in their stones
- Joe’s theory – maybe they’ll start using multi-verse and not bring characters back
- Thanos’ altruistic, utilitarian goal to bring balance to the universe
- They finally really gave Thor the power of a God and emphasized how he and Loki are Gods by Loki telling Thanos that he’ll never be a God
- They discuss how Infinity War is about loss – Thor lost Loki, Thanos lost Gamora, Akoye lost Black Panther, Captain America lost Bucky (lost him twice), Iron Man lost Spiderman (father/son relationship), Scarlet Witch lost Vision, Rocket lost Groot (lost him twice, father/son relationship)
- Theory – what if the people who disappeared now never existed?
- Where’s Hawkeye?
- How are they going to tie in Ant-Man?
- Captain Marvel teaser – Lauren wants Rogue to come in and absorb her
- Is Loki The Hulk?
- Next stage in Marvel movies? Will they go cosmic? Maybe they’ll bring in Fantastic Four, Galactis and/or X-men since the Fox deal went through?
- Don’t forget, it’s Stroke Awareness Month!
