Imagine Kanye with the Infinity Gems? NO waiting for croissants.

Owen confirmed wavy

Matt Draper LOL!!!

This is fantastic analysis! I completely agree with your interpretation of their roles in the narrative. I’m hoping that Thanos is a complex character in the film, but I haven’t seen any of that in the trailers, so I’m not sure what they will do with him. But it will easily make the film better if he’s a layered character like in this comic.

I think Infinity War turned out pretty satisfying

@@pradipsinhrana7319 Brother, I KNOW it did!

You’re right, I flubbed the name and didn’t catch it in editing (it’s easy to stop listening to what you’re actually saying during the edit process haha) I appreciate the polite correction!

Matt Draper Happy to help.

Yeah, unfortunately he’s pulled right back into the conflict in Infinity War a little while after this. Starlin keeps him a complex character, but I like his closure here.

Well maybe I should check out infinity war some time!

So true. Sometimes I just want some closure in my stories!

Starlin is releasing his final Thanos project for Marvel sometime this year, it will be the last of a 3 graphic novel set he has been releasing since last Spring: Infinity Siblings, Infinity Conflict and the rumored last title of Infinity Ending. 13:30 On a side-note that's Gamora not Nebula.

The movies tell a different narrative. They are standalone even though the movies match the comics in many ways.

I don't even know why they snap

@@cardboard_hat In the comics it's quite simple. Thanos pines for the physical incarnation of death in the universe. And is willing to do anything if it would mean gaining her affection. In the movies it's driven by a more impassioned battle to prevent other worlds and pretty much the entire universe from suffering the same fate Titan had. Which was simply a case of extreme overpopulation, and the Mad Titan having been shaped by his trauma from losing his entire world felt the only way to prevent such a tragedy from happening on a universal scale was to simply cull half of life as a whole to stop the overconsumption. Now eternals kind of takes a bigger jab with that, because the movie explores how there is a Celestial fetus embedded in the Earth, and that if it were not for intervention from Thanos, the fetus would have completed its gestation cycle and then emerge from Earth as a newly-formed Cosmic entity and the emergence would effectively tear the planet asunder killing everything on it. And there's a lot of speculation saying that he knew about this threat once he had the stones and basically tried to hit the snooze button on the celestial emerging. At any cost. That was their way of trying to help explain why simply doubling resources in the universe wouldn't help because that would only speed up the clock and likely result in galactic overconsumption of resources that much faster

@@newfoundwisdom8532 but the thing is that with the IG he's literally nigh omnipotent, he can do virtually anything with it So instead of killing half the population he could've increased the resources and explained to everyone in the universe the present and the future the conciquences of over consumption Or he could've made it so that over consumption never happens no matter what as he's nigh omnipotent, he can do that

@@newfoundwisdom8532 If the movie Thanos was as knowledgeable as the comic version but still had the personality of the movie one, he would've done what I said

Infinity Gauntlet has the benefit of being a self contained story allowed to freely explore its own chosen themes that nothing else was building towards nor building out of, whereas Infinity War and Endgame needed to be the culmination of past stories and a conclusion to a long running storyline while trying to tie into the story it's adapting albeit loosely. It needed to satisfy the arcs of a handful of protagonists at once whereas the book quite literally uses ALL those characters as simple chess pieces while focusing exclusively on Thanos. Those movies were doomed to be a bit of a mess in terms of focused storytelling but for what they were intended to be I feel like they did a damn good job.

@@hiimchrisj well said

@@hiimchrisj Agreed.

Thanos, The Mad Simper

@@hiimchrisj infinity war did it way better tan endgame tho.

Every adaptation changes a lot from its source material. They are telling there own narrative and building there own universe. The movies are very similar to the comics but they are standalone because movies are different medium. It's adaptation its the nature of it.

I love learning thr difference between the movies and comics since I don't read comics and saw the movies first not knowing anything about the comics.

Yep, it’s all collected in the Infinity Gauntlet graphic novel. There are some other collections that have solo comics affected by the story, but the main graphic novel is the only one you absolutely need.

Yeah read the thanos quest first which is just a quick 2-3 issue story about thanos obtaining the gems

Thanks! Lots of time and practice make all the difference.

i tried tk do it like that and it looks cool. like just bounce your finger up after

Hahaha

Thank you!

As always, thank you very much for your kind words and support!

Thanks! Check out my back catalog and more comic videos will be coming soon.

Hope you enjoy it!

Matt Draper You never fail to deliver, Matt!

she never really liked him though!

Thank you! We’ll find out soon about Infinity War. I’m hyped, but trying to keep my expectations in check.

Thank you very much!

Thank you! That’s really great to hear and it makes doing these videos worthwhile.

Thank you! I’m definitely interested in where Doomsday Clock goes and how it intersects with Watchmen by its end. We’ll see what happens but I’m hoping that it is thought provoking and philosophically focused. If it’s as interesting as I hope it will be, it will definitely be a video topic!

nah, doomsday clock was drawn out and boring, essentially just a way to retcon the new 52.

It’s way better than the typical event! I highly recommend it.

Matt Draper I'm definitely thinking about getting the trade paperback.

"The Infinity Stones" sounds way better, more threatening and more badass then "The Infinity Gems"

@@solen5529 exactly it's too manufactured.

@@aurahoneydew9607 wdym?

Me too!

It would be so cool to see the antagonist go through such a mental crisis instead of just a physical defeat.

Kenneth Satria Given that the Russos are directing this and how they've depicted their villains, I'm fairly sure that's the idea.

I’m hoping for a film that has complex characters and ideas and not just massive battles. We’ll see!

@@MattDraper I say Infinity War and Endgame are gonna deliver on that. Personally I prefer movie Thanos over comic book Thanos since all he wants to do in the comics is impress death

I’m excited! I’m also trying to not get overhyped since that never helps a film.

Thank you! I think so, I’ll need to give it a re-read before I think of an angle on the subject.

Hope you enjoyed it!

It's made by you it's obviously awesome my friend

Thanks! Yeah I think Thanos won’t complete the gauntlet until the end, so we’ll see how that plays out in 4.

Matt Draper hmm true and I also remember them saying that thanos wants to kill half the life of the universe to save it I think he's trying to take the living tribunal position in the cosmos of the mcu

@@MattDraper how wrong you were

xToxicInferno There is one critical difference between Adam and Thanos. The former is an artificial being, created by scientists he judged unworthy. So technically he's not actually mortal like Thanos and his existence outside the usual rules gives him his different perspective. Oh and he died a couple of times before this story started, once in Jesus fashion.

Also, if you remember Nebula only whished things, like she had a genie at her service. That made me think that the conection with the gems only goes as deep as the wielder allows it. She just comands them, Thanos is aware only of his proximity and when usurpies Eternity's place he is not really prepared for omniscience. Warlock suposedly is, at least for this story, since in the inmediate secuel, the "Warlock and the Infinity watch" series, the living tribunal makes him divide the gems among other wielders.

Watch linkara review of infinity gauntlet. He explains it.

Never!

Devon Palmer I did hear a suggestion about him which makes too much sense: it's more about the journey and the struggle than the actual goal. The guy putting out that theory (I want to say Ron Marz but don't quote me on that) capped off that theory with this thought: if he really wanted to take over the universe, you'd think he'd have done it by now.

He has multiple times, he just gets really bored every time trying to bang death and everything resets

Devon Palmer And why does he get bored? Because the struggle was more exciting.
