It's a powerful statement that Thanos with all his power doesn't use it to force Death to love him. This means that even Thanos knows how wrong it is to force himself on a woman. Let that sink in.

"So let's dig into 'The Infinity Gauntlet' and see how they pull it off!" It took me this long to realize how clever that phrasing was. I friggin love you, Linkara.

If only Thanos had arranged those planets into a "Thanos&Death

As a Canadian myself, the line 'Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you're ever seeing snow in May." made me laugh the hardest. XD

Wait, so Infinity Gauntlet can pretty much be summed up with Thanos wanted to impress and girl and thus decided to commit genocide. So basically the power of boners is the strongest power of them all. Good to know.

“...AND he misses” (Price Is Right losing horns) - Everyone’s reaction to what happens in Infinity War 2018

So uh, did anyone remember when Danny Phantom borrowed the concept of "Infinity Gauntlet" for a pretty fun TV special?

Linkara got the infinity gauntlet! QUICK UNDO ONE MORE DAY

Wait thanos can make mouths disappear......we all know what that means right? I mean this must mean? We finally know why deadpool didn't have a mouth in x-men origins wolverine!

Congratulations. Linkara has a better Docto Doom costume then Fan4stic...

Mephisto, worst wingman in the cosmos.

If you all think that Thanos and Death's relationship was nuts back then, wait till Deadpool comes into the picture. She won't talk to a giant purple god man who can tell Mephisto to STFU but she wants to swap saliva with an insane murderous Canadian who looks like a walking tumor, WTF?

Thanos is one step way from wearing a fedora and calling Death "M'Lady."

I love how Linkara makes a One More Day joke literally just 10 seconds after Mephisto is introduced

"Japan has sunken into the ocean" No, not the anime!

The reason Thanos got the gems so easily is the Elders, who had them, didn't really know what they had. Up until that point they were ALL referred to as Soul Gems. Even Thanos called them that in a previous storyline where he collected them. They were powerful, but no one really know how powerful. Each of the Elders tapped into the power to basically enhance their own, like a battery. It was only at the time of Thanos Quest that he realized what they were and how powerful they were. Since he knew what he was dealing with and the Elders didn't, he was able to take them.

That's what I love about Thanos; for all his god-like power and massive intellect, he has enormous hubris. It's his own dumb fault he has the Gems wrested from his hand. I really hope they keep that in the movies.

I love the Infinity Gauntlet, it's so bad...

Out of all of Linkara’s masked personalities, Doom is by far my favorite. He’s also the best live action Doom. By far.

Considering that Avengers: Infinity War is coming out next year, if they do split it into two parts (guessing the second would be Infinity Gauntlet) I think they should end the first half on a massive cliffhanger with Thanos getting all six stones, snap his finger, show half of all life in the universe die and show the Avengers with stunned / horrified looks on their faces at what they just witnessed and have it fade to the credits.

Infinity Gauntlet is the rare occasion when the inevitable reset is a core part of the plot. I love this story so, so much.

Thanos just wanted Death-senpai to notice him

Man Thanos is such a tryhard. Deadpool knows the way into Death's heart.

I freaking love Doom-Kara.

So Thanos is obsessed with death eh? No wonder his name is so similar to the Greek personification of death Thanatos

The reason Warlock exists outside the natural laws of the universe, is because of Magus, his evil self of the future. Since Thanos is the champion of Death, Life (that I don't understand how she hasn't had her own personification in the Marvel Universe) needed one too. But Warlock wasn't powerful enough. So, in the laws of the universe, it was written that thanks to the Magus, Warlock was going to be sent into a traumatic travel through dimmensions in order to transform into the Magus, and reappear again in his native universe but in the past, creating a church of religious zealots that, even evil, was about holding life dear. Besides all the killing of heretics. Magus was powerful enough to face Thanos when the time was needed, but seemed the destiny of Warlock becoming Magus was completly unavoidable. So Thanos raised Gamora with the only intent of killing Magus, but failed. In his other plan, he made a deal with Warlock, and sent him in a metaphorical dimension where all his posible destinies where physical paths in the ground, and purged the one where he became the Magus. But that wasn't enough. He then needed to travel to the shorter one of this paths, or so, the one where he was going to die the sooner, and find himself at the end of his life after a confrontation with Thanos, and capture the soul of his future self on his soul gem, before turning back to his time. This death eventually appeared within the comics, and was the death from he resurrected in this event comic. So, yeah. He is out of the natural laws of the universe, because thanks to Thanos, he was able to avoid the unmutable laws of destiny, and not become the Magus. He shouldn't exist as Warlock. Oddly to say, apparently Warlock is Thanos only friend as their status now.

When it comes to His character all you need to remember is _Adam Warlock=Space Jesus_

I'm watching this review from the future. Avengers: Infinity War was great!

Death being a woman makes sense to me, but mostly beacause I'm a french speaker and death is a feminine word in my language (la mort).

"Welp, time to spread some manure." *begins writing Marville*

It just occured to me that a possible reason for why Death still refuses to talk to Thanos is because of HOW he completed his task. He made the people and animals disappear, like they never existed in the first place, except remembered by those left behind. That does not look like "killing" to me. Plus, Death has zombies as her servants apparently, so one may speculate that she wanted actual killing, with actual bodies left behind. Instead she got a situation like a girlfriend asking her boyfriend to clean up the carpet, and the bf throwing it out into the thrash.

Death AKA...Raven...

Thanos to Death "Notice me sempai notice me"

So a couple of changes I can see between this comic and the movie: 1. It was Hulk who crashed into the Santum, not the Silver Surfer. 2. Thanos is doing this for death in the comics, but in the movie he has Death’s logic of “too much life”

Ok, I now get why Thanos hates Deadpool so much. Dude tried so hard and he still loses to the Lord of Broken Walls. I guess Death likes men with a sense of humor. Can't say I blame her. Also, poofing people dead is not as impressive a spectacle as running them over with a zamboni.

YOU HAD ONE JOB, SILVER SURFER!!!

Now that you mentioned Deadpool having thing for Death(and she kinda has thing for Deadpool, I think?), I have this image in my mind: the scene from _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ , where Eddie asks Jessica, "What you see in that guy?" and she answers, "He makes me laugh", but with Thanos' head on Eddie, Death's head on Jessica and on background Deadpool's head on Roger. My imagination can be _weird_ at times...

Thumbs up if you're rewatching Linkara's videos on this and "Infinity War" now that the film's out.

So, is the next one Flashpoint? I'm glad you at least mentioned how much Death prefers Deadpool. I can only imagine those 3 on a soap. "I did everything for you! I killed half the universe!" "Yeah, but he's funny and gets me tacos whenever I want."

movie idea: A ROMCOM where Thanos is trying to get with death. Mafisto is his wingman and gives him Advice and tips. Adam Warlock has a crush on her too so he gets pissed when Thanos, unknowingly tells him. So in return he calls up all the heroes and tells them that thanos is throwing a house party. So he can steal the infinity gauntlet that Thanos was going to give to her and win death over. Long story short, She picks Thanos even though Adam gives her the gauntlet because Thanos doesn't try to win her by material possesions. What do you think Linkara? I'll split the profits with ya

Hey Linkara, it’s the future! Infinity War was incredible!!

Love how in the comic the snap is just vanishing in the blink of an eye, while the movie we really are scarred for life with the snap turning them to dust.

''Killing half of the universe may impress women at first, but you need a winning personality for them to stay''. Infinity War in a nutshell.

Ah, Thanos is a fun character. I've collected a majority of the comics and events he and Adam Warlock are featured in. It's cool to see the cosmic scale of their stories

Now, see, I didn't know about any of Marvel's cosmic stuff either when I read INFINITY GAUNTLET at the tender age of 9. Everyone but Spider-Man and the X-Men were brand new to me. But I fell head-over-heels in love with it, instilling in me an instant affection for things cosmic and beyond. (Look at my name, for crying out loud) It's also affected my own writing style and plot and character development. INFINITY GAUNTLET literally changed my life, and for that, I will always be grateful to Jim Starlin, George Pérez, Ron Lim, et al.

Haven't really had time as of late to give my thoughts on Lewis's first "Event Comics Month" and I got to say, it was definitely the standout of 2017. I felt that he did a great job, I agree with most of his critiques in regard to each event, especially flashpoint, and that all the events he covered were entertaining. After all, "Crisis On infinite Earths", "Secret Wars", and "The Infinity Gauntlet" are all great epic classics that deserve to be spotlighted, even by a show that's mostly known for dealing with bad comics.

It's being rumored that in the movie version they'll be making Thanos obsessed with Hela as a way to tie the film continuity closer together. I gotta say, murdering half the universe to get a date with Cate Blanchett has to be the most sympathetic villain motivation ever put to film.

it's fun going back to this episodes now that infinity war and endgame are out.

Hi, Linkara from the past! It's your fan from *THE FUTURE!* And in *THE FUTURE* I watched Infinity War in theaters! It's great! :D

Mephisto is an AWFUL wingman

I don't know, why, but I believe, that the ending of "Infinite gauntlet" is near perfect for this type of story. Especially with Thanos realizing his mistakes. It feels more original, than main villain of the story dying or getting in-prisoned with words "I'll be back" or something. Anyway, great video. Can't wait for the next one.

Death Servant: Titan, Mistress Death finds your boasts empty and your bravado distasteful. Thanos: GET LOST, SQUIDWARD!!

Artificial Perfect Human who achieves his form with a cocoon... Cell? Is that you?

DC changing their continuity? So, Tuesday.

"Wolverine, you're from Canada. Don't pretend this is the first time you've ever seen snow in May." Uhh, depending on where he spends most of his time when he's in the country (and since he's not in the country, it seems like an appropriate reaction) it can be unusual to say the least. Snow in early April a couple years ago where I live was pretty darn unusual. I also can't remember it *ever* snowing in May around here. Even if it has, it would be so rare that I'd likely react just like Wolverine.

Infinity Gauntlet is my favorite Marvel Event. It's so sad how Marvel forget writing Villians vs Heroes event. I mostly blame Bendis and Civil War.

I was hoping you'd add that great captain America speech about how someone will always be there to stand up to thanos

14:37 SPOILERS Just in case anyone was wondering "how could Harry Styles play Josh Brolin's brother in the movies" well yeah they never really looked related in the comics either.

22:03 You missed! How could you miss he was three feet in front of you!

Clearly Adam Warlock is aware of the International Dibs Protocol

Well, at least he isn't a "nice guy".

Holy *FUCK*, they do the fingersnap in the _beginning?_ That's fucking awesome!

I'm pretty sure that to this date, as put in Jim Starlin more recent miniseries, Death and Thanos are together. So you know, kids. Don't give up on love.

22:28 "Including the giant head there." Head: "Show me what you got!!!!!" I could imagine Thanos reacting to that request. "Then I'll gladly show you!"

Infinity Gauntlet is my favourite Marvel story. It's what made Thanos my favourite villain. It's even better when you start with his resurrection in Silver Surfer and follow all the Silver Surfer comics through the Gauntlet storyline. The Silver Surfer tie ins were essential reading. Also the Thanos Quest 2 book story of how he got all the stones was brilliant as well. Brilliant writing from Jim Stralin and Ron Marz, and top art by Ron Lim and George Perez it's a must read.

I love the fact that despite possessing the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos still can't make DEATH love him! I like to think its cause there is no love, lust, heart, or emotion based Infinity Gem! Or love is a force beyond even the Infinity Gauntlet's control!

"The Infinity Gauntlet" stands alongside "Secret Wars 1984" as one of my favorite crossovers that Marvel has ever done. They both really show the scale of the cosmic threat that effects the heroes at play. Plus, they really give a sense of fun that I feel that more modern events lack.

So, Death is a woman and Thanos wants to marry her? Fitting since some men think marriage is a death sentance.

See, I always liked this form of Thanos more than the MCU one. I like that Thanos's entire deal is that he is driven by love and wants to have an equal partnership with a woman he loves. The idea that he thinks he's not good enough for her and has to keep one upping himself, and Mephisto's prodding and such as the devil on his shoulder works well. To me it's a very emotional, grounded thing. While it isn't logical per se, it makes that emotional sense of: "Who hasn't done something over the top for love?". By trying to strip away that aspect they made the character make a lot less sense to me. It opens me up to asking questions about the logistics and logic of the character and their motivation that I never actually asked during Infinity Gauntlet. I never asked things like: "Wait... it doesn't make sense that more things are alive than have ever died" while reading it. Because it wasn't really a big plot point. It's importance was "Once Death said something bugged them so I'll handle it to get in her good graces!". It's a very... domestic normal thing behind the "Snap" in the Comics. Like hearing your spouse complain about the rodent menace that is ruining their flower bed so you get a BB gun to drive them off. Or complaining about how shabby the yard looks so you get tools to edge the lawn and make it look nice and landscaped properly. Very normal dynamics, that are put into the realm of the God Like Power. Very... Greek Mythology as it were. Where the Gods and legendary heroes were very "Normal" in their feelings, motivations, and such. The actions however are different due to their scale. I can get why people read different things in it. And people who hadn't read the event just hear: "Thanos got the gems to get a shot at female personification of Death" and kind of thing it's more... squicky or "I treated death as my personal property that I own" or something. Because that was the reaction I usually got from people when I started telling them of the original Infinity Gauntlet and its plot. But this really is a classic to me and how I see cosmic scale stuff done right. The powers are amazing and beyond most figures in the story... but the motivations, the driving efforts, the way characters play off each other? It's the stuff of everyday life. They are entities beyond space and time as we know it... and they want the same things that Joe Smith from Cleveland wants. It appeals to me.

am i the only one who thinks death looks just like raven from the new teen titans?

I come from the future and I must say Avengers Infinity War was emotional impactful.

Linkara you have the infinity gauntlet, use it to undo one more day, civil war ii and hydra cap!

It annoys me that so many think that Thanos' right armored glove is inherently special. It could just as easily been the Infinity Belt or Infinity Helmet. If he were in to that kind of thing they could have been the Infinity Piercings. Proof of how *not* special it is: note the pictures after Nebula took the Gauntlet - how Thanos is still wearing a gauntlet on his right hand, identical to the one on his left. If it were a unique item, he couldn't have replaced it.

"I WAS A MAN!" *punches while wearing the Infinity Guantlet*

Watching this in April 2018, just a week before Avengers: Infinity War comes out. Hello Linkara of the past! Glad you noticed us future watchers

Wait, but Death only told Thanos to wipe out half the *sentient* population of the universe. Why'd he kill half of all non-sentients, too?! Guess he just wanted to be thorough...

This definitely puts a smile on my face.

Mephisto: Hey! I was building that for like 25 hours! Thanos: O what are you gonna do about that hornie? Take my wedding?

Starlin did have this habit of making his own characters way more important than else in the Infinity crossovers.

Certainly, nothing has ever gone wrong for Doom when he tries to seize God-like power!

I like that in the comics, the gauntlet is much more powerful, and doesn't break. And using the stones, doesn't injure or kill the user.

Hello past linkara! The movie was just as good as the hype made it out to be!

Every time he reads from a trade, he says "this is a trade, so no looking at the covers...", and then he looks at the covers.

You'd think the guy with the claws that he routinely uses to cut through steel doors would aim for Thanos's LEFT ARM and not his CHEST!!

As badass as it is that Thanos' undoing is that he never gets what he wants...boy does it deflate his character a giant amount to have his efforts be to impress some girl he has a crush on. It just makes his arc immensely comical instead of serious. The mountain of implications of it are awesome, Death's will to refuse Thanos chief among them, but I almost wanna apply Superboy Prime's whining to his efforts. Almost.

There was no need to invent a word Linkara. The correct word has existed for decades and it is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!.

“Be in space, become a renowned event comic”

I've always wondered how death and time travel play into the same universe. It's established that souls, heaven, and hell all exist in this universe(and in most other universes involving time travel), so if someone dies and goes to one of those places, then the situation is reversed so they're still alive, then does God or Satan or whoever just go "Oh, never mind. You never actually died. Back you go." And what of these people who were alive but then died due to a change in the timeline. Are they aware of their previous death or do they show up wherever they were sent going "Wait, what just happened?" Or is there some sort of cosmic holding cell, where souls are sent until it's confirmed which timeline is the real one? Or does time travel actually transport the user into a parallel universe that follows their consequences, though they technically never actually caused them, and traveling back and reverting everything back to normal is some sort of "cosmic key" to unlock the path back to their universe(or a very similar universe with some changes due to their very presence in the past altering the future), and each universe has its own version of someone with their own soul, their own heaven and hell, and their own God and Satan? And does this negate free will, as everything would have to take the EXACT SAME path up to a point? If you think about it, Doc Brown's warning that a major time paradox could destroy the entire universe should trigger the second someone starts their time traveling.

Very interesting watching this video after Infinity War/Endgame. I like seeing what they adapted, and what they at least referenced since they didn't have all the same assets for the film. I still think they should have kept Death's love as a motivation for Thanos in some fashion. Would have made more sense than what we got.

I see why Marvel made the changes they did for Infinity war. They made the Earth Heroes much more involved in the story since here they're mostly just fodder with the event mostly being Adam, Thanos and Nebula's story. In Infinity War and Endgame the focus is more on the Thanos and the original MCU Avengers but specifically Tony, Steve and Thor

Me as a couple councilor: Ok, Thanos you need to learn that it's Ok for a women to reject you. No matter what you do for them, they do not owe you a romantic relationship. And Lady Death, while you may not owe him a romantic relationship he still murdered half the universe for you which is what you asked him to do, so you need to show him some gratitude and express how you're feeling. Remember communication is the key.

If you can get them, I'd highly recommend reading the Silver Surfer issues prior to reading Infinity Gauntlet. It reintroduced a lot of these characters and concepts and explained them. Really Infinity Gauntlet is the wrap up to that Silver Surfer storyline, not a crossover in and of itself. Surfer even went inside the Soul Gem and met Warlock, Pip, and Gamora so you didn't have to go back and read the original Warlock series. As Linkara stated, Thanos and Warlock had been dead for well over a decade. They'd only appeared in reprints and Thanos' soul appeared in The Death of Captain Marvel.

9:08 See the Walmart Super Bowl Commercial 2020. It’s the closest thing to ever having a Star Trek/ Star Wars crossover anyway.

just got back from watching infinity war; i'm surprised how close they kept certain elements and moments from the comic!

After reading as much as I can from the comics and the history of marvel, seeing the trailer and learning some story details, it appears that avengers infinity war is not just specifically adapting this story but rather the "Infinity" arc from a few years ago AND Infinity Gauntlet.

So, something I thought another commenter would post but didn't so here I am to say it, Deadpool was not married when the stuff with Death and Thanos originally went down. Shiklah was introduced and became DPs wife in 2014 whereas DP and death were a thing before that. The only time he was married during an instance with death was the 2015 mini Deadpool vs Thanos where the brush with death and Thanos resulting in the immortality curse was way back in 2002 in the "funeral for a freak" storyline

You forgot to mention that Thanos is a cousin to humans gentically, he is just about as close to humans as a mutant. I love the larger Marvel universe.

So this is how do a villain kicking the ass of a number of powerful heroes rather than what happened in Cry for Justice.

Thanos, Marvel's poster child for being a "Nice Guy"

Adam Warlock can ressurect himself using that cocoon from the beginning, and each time his subconscious gives him new abilites to combat the threat he is facing
