Not much of a surprise but good to see the film is emulating its predecessor.
Spoilers Avengers: Infinity War grade and discussion thread
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
The article has been updated; it’s nothing. And I think it would be a surprise if (just) A4 were moved up, considering there’s less than two months between Captain Marvel and A4 as it is.
BTW, about A4’s supposedly spoilery title, I’m confused. What are they afraid of spoiling? They can’t wait for Captain Marvel to hit theaters before announcing a name for A4 with the release dates just eight weeks apart, can they? What else is there to spoil between now and then?

I think that they are trying to keep people focused on Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel. It could be very easy for the hype train for A4 to overshadow the other releases.
After killing all the other Dwarves, why did Thanos wreck Etri’s hands but spare his life? Was he just being sensitive to the audience’s need for exposition, or was there some other reason?
“You should have gone for the head.”
“You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. But then I thought, nah, the arm is good.”
“Oh, poop. Where did you get that weapon?”
“Etri helped me make it, even after you destroyed his hands. You... should have gone for the head.”

He only kills half of those he encounters, like how he spared half the Asgardians in the opening attack and launched them off in lifepods. Likely there are other Dwarves who lived but weren't at the Forge.
That’s not how he handled Nidavellir. There were 300 Dwarves manning the station. After forcing them to make the gauntlet, he killed all of them except Etri, whose hands he destroyed instead of killing him.
Which begs the question for me. Those Asgardians just suffered a near genocide already.
By what standard does Thanos justify that half of the survivors still need to die?
It highlights his hypocrisy. That carnage only serves his goal to get to the space gem. It has nothing to do with balance.
Also with the Snap presumably another half of the remaining survivors disappeared?
At this rate, soon Thor will be the only one left!
I don't think they did. They lost most of the army but that was it.
The initial losses weren't inflicted by him? He is the MAD Titan after all.
He needed the Mind Gem's processing power for calculating the magnitude of the snap after the Soul Stone told him the exact number of all life in the Universe, so it's possible he used it to say "Don't kill anymore Asgardians".
I have a few questions about “THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR”.
When Thanos’ ship had appeared before the Asgardian ship, why didn’t Loki use the Space Stone inside the Tesseract to transport them beyond Thanos’ reach?
Also, why did Loki believe the Hulk would be the one to defeat Thanos, when he had earlier witnessed Thor finally kick the former’s ass on Sakaar in “THOR: RAGNAROK”?
One last question … how is it that Thanos was able to easily defeat Thor in the movie’s first scene, yet when he used the Power Stone to destroy the Asgardian ship … Thor survived? In other words, the Power Stone wasn’t powerful enough to destroy Thor, yet he was easily defeated by Thanos at the beginning of the movie?

I don't think the Asgardians were really prepared for the idea that Thanos could actually beat them. Loki presumably didn't use the stone because he didn't think it was needed (and didn't want to admit he had it). Then, when he talks about the hulk, he's still thinking to himself that they're going to turn this around - not necessarily that the hulk will beat everyone single handedly, but if the hulk had lasted better, then maybe Loki and Thor would've been able to regroup and have the three of them working together. Or maybe since Thanos is working alone against the Hulk, he thinks Thanos will die and his army will give up. (The ship was probably captured by the whole Black Order working together, so Loki doesn't know until that moment that Thanos personally is more powerful than all of them combined).
As for the last bit, I don't think it's at all true that the Power Stone was 'unable' to destroy Thor. Thanos just didn't go out of his way to ensure that it did, because Thor was no longer important.

I don’t think the Loki/Hulk thing is not any deeper than Loki referencing Stark’s We have a Hulk moment in Avengers 1.
And his own puny god ass whoopin

That's it, right there.
Thanos spared him because he gave in and made the gauntlet (thinking it might spare the lives of the other dwarves). "Your life is yours."
It's debatable that without a proper channeling device like the Gauntlet, you can't use the full potential of an Infinity Stone. Remember that merely touching it sent the Red Skull to another planet and before then he was only using it as a battery to power his weapons. So Loki simply couldn't use it to teleport them away.
The writers said that Thor can get tired and need to recuperate, and Thanos merely got him as a weak moment.
Thanos wasn't focusing it's full power, he just wanted the ship blown up and Thor survived.
So you’re Peter Parker’s father?
Just think how people who were teens when 80s classics came out must feel nowadays.
