other than thanos looking like a big purple grade school bully with a glandular problem this looks good.

Unsure how the defenders will fit in...

Thanos always looks weird without his headpiece.

I don't quite get why they designed such a cool suit of armour for Thanos for GotG only to ditch it here. It's hard to take him anywhere nearly as seriously when he's essentially wearing a vest...

I'm not sure they are - are they?

I wish they wouldve stuck with iconic comic book thanos, White eyes, fully armored. Legitimately scary looking badass,

I had heard every marvel hero would be in this movie. Who knows if that;s correct tho.

I've heard they're saving the fully armored look for when he's the final boss of Avengers 4. He doesn't get epic gear until he finishes his loot grind.

Which would make perfect sense, except that we've already seen him fully armoured in two separate films... I guess he must have left the suit in his other spaceship or something...

OMG OMG OMG totally starting fan-girling at the end when the Guardians of the Galaxy showed up. Guardians and Avengers together in one movie?

He has to pop a couple of those Avengers loot piñatas.

I am assuming if Thanos gets a few of the stones, at least, they are going to need a cosmic heavy hitter to deal with that.

Like, say, the Silver Surfer?

Oh, wait...


OTOH, if we could have Mar-Vell, Nova and Adam Warlock, that'd be pretty darn good.

Will Captain Marvel be in this? Perhaps that is one of the Heavy Hitters that shows up?

Given that Cap Marvel is set in the 80s, I'd say it's possible but I'd not expect more than a cameo. On one hand, she's presumably still around. On the other, there's presumably some good reason she's not getting involved in any present-day Avenging thus far.

It'd be very cool for her to show up though, I'm really looking forward to see what they do with her.

They won't.

90's, and she'll be in Avengers 4.

He needs to buy more loot boxes.

It looks like the films, the Netflix series and Agents of Shield aren't really part of the same story. In the context of the Infinity Wars films, when there's a statement like "All the Marvel heroes will show up", I'd take that as being "All the Marvel heroes from the films will show up".

My apologies!

All this time I thought you were a boy - that's what I get for assuming!

Anyway, I'd be shocked in any of the NETFLIX Marvel heroes show up in this movie.

I'd be pleasantly surprised though!

It's actually odd how red-haired and step-child'ish the Netflix shows have ended up being. I mean crikey, even the weird teen-drama thing Runaways got an actual, physical Stan Lee cameo while the Defenderverse shows have to make do with that police recruitment poster occasionally showing up in the background.

I am a boy, not that you would have guessed from my high pitched squealing.

Ah - any reason why you wouldn't just be 'fan-boying' vs. 'fan-girling' then?!?

As for the NETFLIX Marvel Heroes, maybe we'll get a 'in the background in a scene or two' cameo?

Do not count on it. Marvel keeps TV and Films relatively seperate now-a-days.

Yes, I'm already on record as doubting it, but someone else floated it, and I was imagining some way they might still 'Easter egg' it in anyway.

I'd be up for that. But for the most part, I'm enjoying the 'Marvel Knights' vibe of the Netflix shows, going where the movies can't in terms of moral ambiguity and silly violence.

So just the merest nod of acknowledgement would suit me.

The explanation delves deeply into societal gender roles, and then eventually into US politics. Be careful what you wish for.


I doubt we'll see any of the TV heroes, but I would be surprised if there weren't a cameo or ACS with some film-ready hero or villain we've never seen before.

I wouldn't mind if some of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show up too!

I know this will never happen, but it is kind of a dream for Chris Evans or Sam Jackson to show up in S2 of The Punisher. Nick Fury would be real interesting there. MCU Nick Fury could probably put a guy like Frank to doing some serious work.

But sadly, never going to happen. :(

Coulson really should show up in one of them.

At the very, very, very least they need to have some of the Avengers acknowledge they know Coulson is still alive. I mean I'd like to see him physically show up, but at this stage at least an acknowledgement is necessary if we're supposed to keep believing Tony Stark is a genius. Also if there's going to be a knock down drag out battle for the fate of earth itself, there's zero logical reason someone as powerful as Quake should be absent from that considering "guy with a bow" is still a thing.

Sadly I suspect the reason they went with the whole time travel aspect of the new season of SHIELD is so they have an excuse for them not participating in Infinity War. It's so annoying that the idea of the MCU as this big cool multimedia undertaking has basically died out because one guy is constitutionally incapable of not engaging in a dick waving contest with everyone they see.

Do you remember when season 1 of Daredevil tied into the MCU and took place in the aftermath of the Skiitari invasion of NY in the Avengers? Peppridge Farm remembers.

I just want Coulson to throw some sass back at Tony when he first sees him.

"Agent?"
"Hello Mr. Stark."
"I thought you were dead?"
"I got better."

Could we have a Blofeld-esqe moment where someone barges into the room, the chair swivels round and it's Phil instead of Nick Fury?

I'd like a callback to that first episode of AoS where Coulson steps out of the shadows and then snarks about doing so.
