the population he has the power and space stones that already makes him the
strongest creature in the whole universe if he gets his hands on all six stones
Tony he could destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamed of. happy infinity war
week everybody this is going to be my post credit scene video hopefully you've had
a chance to see the movie but obviously spoiler warning if you have not seen it
yet we will be going into specifics of Marvel's The Empire Strikes Back so if
you are brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the Marvel
videos there's going to be a lot of Avengers for talk that we'll do in the
next couple of weeks and there's a new round of that Infinity Gauntlet giveaway
that I'll explain at the end of the video we make a lot of jokes about how
it feels like Marvel was going for their version of Empire Strikes Back with this
movie I think they were largely successful in that I'll talk about it a
little bit more during my spoiler review but remember the Obi one scene after the
Death Star blows up Alderaan are you alright I felt a great disturbance in
the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror suddenly
silenced if your big comic book ban you probably noticed immediately what they
did with Thanos quests in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline that post-credits
scene is effectively in overlap it's a twist on a Nick Fury moment from the
beginning of the Infinity Gauntlet literally within the first 15 pages of
that storyline so what happens is is Nick Fury and Maria hill are standing on
a street corner with sirens going off everywhere everyone's screaming there's
lots of car crashes happening you hear a helicopter Carine by and crash without a
pilot in it my only thought there was them doing a Thanos copter Easter Egg
Nick Fury gets really pissed off like he has a sense for what's going on he
starts to see people turning to ash around him pulls his phone out starts to
dial and starts to drop an f-bomb but right before he can drop the f-bomb
he turns to ash - then the camera zooms in on his phone and you see Captain
Marvel symbol so he's calling in reinforcements for Avengers 4 there are
two big reasons why they chose this particular post-credit scene when you
could have done anything like you could actually jump to Captain Marvel but
number one I think that they wanted to tease the idea of Captain Marvel
not completely giving everything away what our costume looks like what her
powers look like because we're going to get the Captain Marvel movie right before
Avengers 4 comes out that'll explain all that she's going to be a huge character
during Avengers 4 so they want some connective tissue between that character
in between these two parts of infinity War part 1 in part to whatever part 2 is
going to be called the second big reason why they chose Nick Fury is because he's
going to be a big character during the Captain Marvel movie which will be set
in the past during the 90s so he is the connective tissue between Captain Marvel
Avengers infinity war in Avengers 4 the only people that really get left out in
the cold air or ant-man the wasp because they have a movie that's coming out in a
couple months this summer that is confirmed to be happening before the
events of infinity war now post-civil war but before infinity war what will
happen is is I'll do a separate video explaining that timeline after more
people have a chance to see the movie there'll be plenty of Avengers for
videos but effectively what they're doing with the end of infinity war is
ending with the very beginning the intro to the Infinity Gauntlet storyline what
happens at the beginning of that is a Thanos just starts the story the opening
pages with the completed Infinity Gauntlet in Mephisto is standing there
with them just marveling at his achievement just to make up Marvel pun
you're like a god now so you remember during comic book Infinity Gauntlet he
assembled the gauntlet to erase half of all life for death who felt like there
was just too much life it needed to be balanced standing victorious he's hoping
to have one deaths affections at completing the task but then realizes oh
how silly of me how inconsiderate I haven't actually completed the task as
you requested in thinking that this will just completely when death over who
doesn't care about him at all she's just standing there blank face like okay
let's get this on on any minute now you'll finish so I can go back to my own
devices and without any grand speech or anything like that just reaches the
gauntlet up into the sky then probably the best reaction to this is Mephisto
who's probably only here so that he can have this reaction whispering he's
really going to do it like even Mephisto doesn't believe that Thanos going to
wipe out half of all life in the universe and snaps his fingers and
that's when you get that scene with everybody noticing half of all the
people on the street disappearing when you reread that storyline which I
would recommend that you do if you haven't recently the opening pages also
deal with Silver Surfer in the Bruce Banner role warning dr. strange about
the coming of Thanos Silver Surfer is effectively recapping the events of the
Pharaoh's quest storyline and they don't really need to do that with infinity war
that's why they have that truncated Bruce Banner scene at the beginning of
the movie because most people have been rewatching the Marvel films you don't
need a complete explainer you just need the T up for people that are walking
into this fresh I think most of us were expecting them to end the movie on a
moment like this because a long time ago most of us comic book fans when they
said with the plot of infinity war would be Thanos collecting all the gems like a
smash-and-grab heist film we're like oh they're doing Thanos quest because
that's what happens during the Thanos quest storyline meaning that maybe
they'll do the Infinity Gauntlet comic book for Avengers 4 or some version of
that so if you've seen infinity war obviously you know that they changed the
plot of Thanos quest a lot they even jumped ahead and borrowed a couple
moments from later in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline like with Gamora and
nebula with them trying to get the gauntlet off of his hand so there's a
lot of mixing and matching but in the comic book version of this the people
that disappear are actually Hawkeye Cersei mary jane wong mentor of titan
Thanos's father who's dead during the course of this movie half of the scroll
Empire but what these opening pages do is they just give you this moment that
is effectively the end of infinity war where most of the main characters of the
Infinity Saga notice people disappearing all over the place there's even a
shout-out to a character named Charlie when spider-man is noticing all these
people in Times Square disappearing but you can kind of see why I use that
obi-wan scene because you have spider-man here serving is that sort of
voiceover role narrating for everyone there was no ominous warning not one
storm cloud heavenly voice nor any of the kind of things that would accompany
such a cataclysmic event nothing just half the people down in Times Square
merely vanished at first thought I thought I was losing my mind flipping
out who or what could have done this had only Times Square been affected or was
this happening all over the city then it hit me Mary Jane you know like he
screams Mary Jane he goes running off to try and find out what happened to her I
know there's going to be all kinds of questions about
they picked the specific characters to die that died at the end of the movie
you like why is Captain America sitting here where vision and black panther end
up turning you to ash because they're big characters - why does spider-man
turn to ash you kind of see what they're doing with Avengers 4 though like you
have Captain Marvel that's coming in because of that post-credit scene but
it's mostly the original Avengers that survive and they kill off all the newer
characters not everybody because there's some Guardians representation there
phase 2 technically they're not oh gee they didn't debut till after that first
Avengers movie but I think they just want some representation from that
separate space-based storyline so that's probably why the writers let Star Lord
survive so that you just have some representation from that group of
characters because you've already seen a bunch of them die so effectively it's
the original Avengers versus Thanos at the beginning of Avengers 4 now things
could change over the course of that we've seen some behind-the-scenes
pictures of them barfing and looking back to the original events of the first
Avengers movie with Captain America wearing his old costume you have to
remember that they gave Thanos the time gem so this isn't them travelling back
in time but we'll talk more about potential plot lines and things that
they could pull from the comics for Avengers 4 in separate videos leave all
