Spoiler Thread: Avengers Infinity War
We just got home. With all of the above stated, and seeing the post credit scene, I would think it would be difficult to not reach into the AOS universe somehow. Anyone else? I mean, I'm gonna be ****** if I tune in Friday and half the cast is gone.
It's definitely the same time line since the news stories in the last episode were about the carnage in the city by the Black Dwarf and Ebony Maw fighting Doc Strange and Iron Man.

I seriously doubt we'll see half the cast dissolve in the season finale next week, though it would be a handy, cheap out if Graviton blew away as dust, of course. Then again, if they did that, none of us would ever forgive them.
I will say this - I was told by my uncle, who was heavy into comic books, that Thanos’ reason for collecting the stones for the gauntlet is to get Lady Death’s attention by killing billions. Remember the post credit scene from the first Avengers movie? Something like, “to challenge them is to court death” - and then Thanos puts on that sinister grin..... that seems more consistent with the comics. In this movie - not that I mind, he wants to create balance in the universe. Great movie, regardless.
The decision to change Thanos' motivation did cause some inconsistencies with some of the other films. That scene, and someone else already mentioned that in the original Guardians film Gamora said Thanos wiped out all of her people, not just half. I have to say it was the one thing I felt was a little silly in the film. A super-radical ecologist with a heart just didn't ring true for me. I guess I am too set from so many years of reading the Thanos in the comics.
I'd go back and edit it, but I'm interested to see exactly how many people correct me.
By the way, Captain Marvel is set... :hihi:
He knew what the stakes were. Thanos was collecting the infinity stones and he murdered a bunch of his people. Thor chose to not murder him immediately so he could gloat for a moment. Star Lord didn't think, he reacted exactly like how he did to Ego when finding out he put the tumor in his mother. One was impulse while the other was deliberate.
I think Thor aimed for the heart, as it's the bigger target. That Thanos didn't die immediately from such a blow (and any being with a cardio-vascular system run by a beating heart actually would, so that was a major suspend your disbelief moment anyway) just gave Thor time to rub it in.
Literally busy finished watching it for the 3rd time and I came here to say, in an alternate universe the Falcons still lose a 25 point lead inn the Super Bowl.
Nah, just kidding. I'm wondering if ANYONE thinks there's a chance we see the Red Hulk in the next Infinity War?
I was sort of expecting (okay, hoping) he would appear in Civil War when I saw that William Hurt was in the cast again as General Ross. It didn't happen, but I'm still hoping since he's still hanging around...
When he stabbed Tony Stark he said "You've earned my respect, Stark. When I'm done, half of humanity will still exist. I hope they remember you."
Based on that statement and some of the Avengers 4 set photos I think we are going to see a world where the people that dusted never existed. I went in depth into the theory earlier in the thread.
Based in that quote. I find your admittedly interesting scenario a moot point. Thanos' statement assumes the other half of humanity will remember everything, he simply hopes Stark is one of the people they hold on to as a hero in their memories. Also, the fact that everyone left was in shock over seeing all their friends turn to dust says that isn't where they're going with this.
