If Hydra was working with Thanos, they probably didn’t know his ultimate agenda.
Spoilers Avengers: Infinity War grade and discussion thread
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
I felt an emotional reaction to seeing characters I like, some since childhood, die. I logically knew they would be back, but the performances and the tone of the film managed to sell it. So maybe this is just a personal issue for you and not a legitimate issue with the film itself. You know, YMMV.

Yeah. I didn't consider the characters' disintegrations to be hollow deaths. It was very somber. I was moved and saddened, and that lasted for quite a while after leaving the theater. YMMV.
If you're up to date with the TV show...
The coalition turned up 10 years ago (??) and told hydra: "If you get on your knees, we will save you from Thanos. Cool?"
How dumb is Hydra not to ask who it is that they are so afraid of to hand the home world over to flimflammen without some proof that there's more to fear than just a do-over of The Battle of New York?
Hydra was working with the coalition, not Thanos, but the coalition had to have explained who and what Thanos is.

Hydra had the mind stone for a while too.

Are you talking about stuff from the newest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes? If so could you please spoiler code or at least post a spoiler warning next time, not all of us are up to date. I've been making a point of trying to avoid spoilers until I got a chance to get caught up later this week..... so yeah thanks for ruining that.
This brings up something I've been wondering about. Will the characters who died before The Snap stay dead?
No, just that shock happens just as often (if not more) than hamming it up.
Of course, you're just being a whiner over them announcing that there will be future films. So you're repaying their generosity with petulance, as usual.
I agree for, like, 99%. There were two or three interactions with characters (physical interactions) that didn't really work. Other than those, damn, that was good CGI.
On a different topic....
How fucking surprised were you when Red Skull showed up?? I mean, of all the things I didn't see coming, that was the biggest one!! I suspected the ending, although I didn't suspect it to be so shockingly done. I thought people would just suddenly be gone. Like 'poof'. But Red Skull? That was a shock to me.....Pity Hugo didn't reprise the role himself though.
Yeah. I was surprised (not so much by the ending, which was solidified very early on, but by the lack of resolution immediately after). But that's mainly because I didn't catch it was initially called ‘Infinity War, Part 1’, so I didn't realise there was a sequel next year.
A couple ways:
* they don't read comics; or
* they don't follow media news about the MCU so they didn't know about "Endgame" ( or whatever it ends up being called ).
Who knows. The "deaths"/finger snap oversaturated social media for months, so there was no surpise to this. There was no way for this to surprise anyone (or have a dramatic edge) when everyone knew about Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Bucky and others have films/appearances coming.
I still feel bad about Spider-Man. Every time I think of it, I get sadder. I've recently become very concerned for Aunt May, worried that she's either dust too or just being worried about what happened to him.
How do you know Spider-Man will be Peter Parker? There's Miles Morales, who Feige has mentioned wanting to bring in at some point.
So yeah, instead of appreciating that they're nice enough to tell us about the future you just complain more. As usual.
They are not real.
1) Actual shock affects people differently. Tony Stark might have crumbled, but the reaction we saw was also possible.
2) As for Cap -- Give me a break. The man was a soldier in WWII and saw many friends and comrades die. He was still in 'battlefield mode', so no I don't have an issue with any 'lack of reaction' immediately from him because this is a war.
Depends on how you look at it. We know a bunch of actors have contracts ending and others have future movies. Therefore the unsurprising outcome would be to kill the existing actors and not the up-and-comers. The opposite happened in the movie, thus preserving the surprise in the moment. Afterward you can reflect on how this has to be reversed. But we don't know exactly how they are going to do that, keeping a surprise available for the next movie.
Just saw this over the weekend and loved ot. I'm a very casual watcher of these movies. I don't know anything about the movies or follow social media on this subject so the end was a bit of a shock to me. Of course i expect that many will return, just like in Trek in this universe dead doesn't mean dead.
I think Loki is still alive. His death at the hands of Thanos didn’t look all that different from his death at the hands of Kurse in TDW. “I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again” doesn’t sound to me like a line he gets right before a suicidal attack on Thanos, and he can’t be foolish enough to think that attack’s going to work, so he has to be up to something.
I’m not saying he’ll necessarily turn up alive in Avengers 4, but if there’s a Thor 4 and Hiddleston wants to return, he’ll be back.
