I hadn't considered this before now, but since Maw is telekinetic, couldn't he simply levitate himself back to the ship, like Leia in The Last Jedi?

I realize much of the collective audience of Infinity War would have groaned had that happened, but in-universe, Maw should have had a dozen seconds (or more) before passing out from anoxia, more than enough time to get his bearings and float back. Now, obviously Stark had began sealing the hull almost immediately after he blew it up and would have likely saw Maw and blasted him a second bunghole the second he got anywhere near the ship. Still, as Maw would have been conscious for a (very) small amount of time after being exposed to space, you'd think he would've tried something.

Same reason Xavier wasn't able to telepathically order those guards to stop gassing him in X2, when he had time to do so.
 
While I was watching "Infinity War" for the fourth time, something occurred to me. I came to the conclusion that there were five performances that really impressed me. They came from Josh Brolin, Zoe Saldana, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt and Don Cheadle.

I hadn't really thought about Cheadle's performance that way, but his scene with the general was definitely great. Completely agree on the others.

Star Wars has more meta-physical laws that don't "work that way". Maw is grounded in more law based systems that imply pushing against something. We see minor ripples and effects that might be him exerting a force against matter. With all the momentum of his ejection, even slowing down and reorienting would have taken all his concentration...when he stopped panicking and got himself into one stable direction.

Then even if he could do so, Tony nano-d the wall shut again as solid metal the same as his armour. Maw hitting it one way in a vaccum well, Newtonian laws. The ship was reparied, then under way, before he could possibly regain focus and make his way back, nevermind break through his own vessel.

And whoever plays Maw.
 
Kevin Feige apparently said that Avengers 4 was inspired by TNG's finale, "All Good Things".

Gonna love to see what he means.
 
It was mentioned way back in March I see

When we talk about resolution or a character’s story ending, are we necessarily talking about death?

People always will jump to that. That’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot, because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, “All Good Things.” That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?

I think it should end with a Shwarma scene but with a bigger group since we have so many more heroes.

The core Avengers are all seated but there are some waiting in line

Star-Lord- Beef or Chicken....
Dr. Strange- Can you please just choose
Star-Lord >_> Beef or Chicken
Dr. Strange- Ugh....

A4 plot speculation.

It has apparently been confirmed that it picks up several years after the end of IW, and that Tony and Pepper have a child. Suppose the child was conceived and born after the Snap, and the only way to beat Thanos is to go back in time and change history. That means that, for the sake of the trillions of people who died in the Snap, Tony has to erase his own child from history. Ow.

Harlan Ellison would not have been pleased.
