AVENGERS INFINITY WAR BREAKDOWN | 200 Details We Missed | Doomsday Rewatch

Hey, what was that? >> Forward in time to view alternate. futures to see all the possible outcomes. of the coming conflict. >> How many did you see? >> 14,605. >> How many did we win? >> One. >> That hesitation from Doctor Strange as. he looks into this face. Did Doctor. Strange look all the way into the future. of Doctor Doom? Welcome back to New. Rockstars. I'm Eric Boss and this is a. breakdown of everything you missed in. 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, the next.

title in our Doomsday Essential. Breakdown series. Revisiting this movie. for the first time in 6 years, we. seriously found 200 details that we're. going to share with you in a scene by. scene breakdown of this movie along with. all of the parallels that the Russo. brothers seem to be bringing back in. Avengers Doomsday. By the way, I'm. wearing this Doomsday shirt available. exclusively at our merch store, nerdright.shop. And if you've been. seeing these hilarious gorilla Grod set. photos, we also have that shirt. This. Grod needs a brew that I'm about to. start wearing everywhere. Nerd. Riot.shop. Okay. Over the opening Marvel.

Studios title card, we hear a distress. signal being broadcast through space. >> This is the Asgardian refugee vessel. Statesman, we are under assault. I. repeat, we are under assault. >> That is the voice of Thor director. Kenneth Brana, future star of. Christopher Nolan's tenant. Interestingly, this film bookens with a. distress call from another director, director Nick Fury. >> Well done. This is a ship that we last saw at the. end of Thor Ragnarok. With that film's. mid-credit scene showing the coming.

attack from Thanos in the Black Order. Half of the Asgardians escaped this. attack, including Valkyrie Corgan Meek. to arrive at new Asgard and Avengers. Endgame. You can actually see them. fleeing in the Grandm's Pleasurecraft. from Thor Ragnarok, the Commodore. That. ship does seem to be just floating here, but I assume that they were able to get. away before Thanos power stoned the. Statesmen. Among the bodies on the. ground we see is Rosco, one of the. gladiators from Sakar, who joined the. rebellion with Corg. We seriously never. caught this detail until we revisited. the movie. Here, Loki rolls his eyes as. Ebony Ma monologues as if he's heard.

these diet tribes before. >> My humble personage. bows before your grandeur. >> Yes, the words Ebony Ma says here are a. direct quote from what Meisto says to. Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet. storyline by Jim Starlin. Loki has some. history with Thanos. He was around. Thanos for at least a year following the. events of Thor before the Mad Titans. sent Loki to Earth with a Mindstone. scepter in the Chitauri army. Now Thanos. preaches, >> "I know what it's like to lose." Turns. the legs to jelly. >> You talk too much.

>> At 29 minutes of screen time, Thanos has. the most screen time of any character in. this film. Thor has only half, 14 1/2. minutes. This framing here perfectly. reflects that disparity with the. Avengers so small and defeated that we. initially don't even recognize him at. Thanos's feet. The writers framed Thanos. as the true protagonist of the story. It. really is his journey, making Thor his. structural antagonist. Had Thor gone for. the head, he would be the hero of the. story. Instead, he's this movie's crazy. axe murderer. So, this whole idea of. failure turning the legs to jelly, Tony. Stark and Steve Rogers wobble off their.

feet by the end of this movie. And when. Thanos fails in Avengers Endgame, he's. going to be all jelly, too. Loki tries. to call Thanos's bluff, but when he sees. the damage the power stone can do to. Thor, he relents and reveals the. tesseract. Thor thought it was destroyed. on Asgard as it was placed in Odin's. vault after the Battle of New York, but. Loki did indeed swipe it during. Ragnarok. He reveals the tesseract out. of thin air. Similar to how Doctor. Strange will reveal the time stone, Loki. calls back Tony in Avengers. I have an. army. We have a Hulk. We have a Hulk. >> Thanos beats the crap out of Hulk. And. if you look closely in many of the.

shots, he seems to not be using the. power stone. Though, there are some. shots where the power stone looks. slightly illuminated. It's kind of hard. to know when he is and is not using it. This is really the last of Conqueror. Thanos that we see in this movie. He now. removes his armor, retiring to a. spiritual quest. Josh Brolan bases. performance on Marlin Brando in. Apocalypse Now. two delusional baldies. Stubble is visible on his head, suggesting that he deliberately shaves. it out of a similar dogmatic commitment. Seeing Hulk lose in a physical. hand-to-hand fight in this movie just. makes us very, very scared of Thanos in.

this moment. Unfortunately, it would. start a trend in some of the titles. after this where Hulk was just. unfortunately nerfed out of his true. abilities. Heimdoll summons the power of. the All Fathers to send Hulk back to. Earth through the Bifrost as a warning. Loki mentioned in Avengers that dark. magic could be used to teleport someone. even without the Bifrost. With the bif. frost gone, how much dark energy did the. your father have to muster to conjure. you here? Your precious earth. Here is. actually where Ebony Ma does the humble. personage line. While Mesto was not part. of this story, Sasha Baron Cohen, of. course, will be cast as Meto in the Iron.

Heart series, and it's rumored to appear. again in Ghost Rider. Loki tries a. hidden dagger trick on Thanos, the same. one that he pulled on Thor in Avengers, but Thanos is too quick. He uses the. space stone to stop the dagger in its. place. Good thing he just put that stone. in the gauntlet. Loki's death is. preceded with his memory of Odin's. recent death and acknowledgement of him. as a son. >> I, Loki, prince of Asgard, Odin's son. >> He even turns to the left with the same. framing and expression when he says. Odin's son. This Loki spent his time.

post Battle of New York ruling Asgard by. pretending to be his father figure of. Odin, but eventually came to love Odin. and see Thor as a true brother. However, Loki variant L1130, who was created. during the time heist, will have to. learn to love his family and become the. god of stories through the centuries he. spends in a time loop in the TVA trying. to save the multiverse. There was a time. when I thought Infinity War was a story. of sacrifice. And it is, in a way, the. theme spoken in this movie is we don't. trade lives. But on a deeper level, Loki. and Heimdoll's shocking early deaths. establishes this as a story where. Thanos's victory is already.

pre-ordained. It's a story of mourning. How do we accept the deaths of loved. ones? And what kind of monster would. think that watching a loved one die. would make things better? Thanos, that's. who. Thanos is a psycho Malthusian. eotterrorist. He's wrong on so many. levels, something that Cindy Moon will. ask about in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But the Avengers stubborn refusal to let. any of them die ever is naive. In this. movie, they are taught a brutal lesson. in triage. They are able ultimately to. undo everything Thanos does in the snap, but all the deaths before the snap. cannot be undone. We'll have to see what.

lessons the Avengers take away from this. encounter when they take on Dr. doom and. doomsday. Will they be more willing to. make those sacrifices knowing they can't. just pull the time heist all over again? Hol's by frost trajectory takes them. past the sun first and then past the. moon. A Redditor charted this out to. propose that there was a solar eclipse. at this time, which the ancient Norse. peoples interpreted as a sign of the. coming Ragnarok apocalypse. Had they. placed the eclipse over Norway, Hulk's. Vector would land him on the eastern. seabboard. Banner lands in a sanctum. sanctorum with a warning just as Silver. Surfer does in the Infinity Gauntlet.

comics. The cloak of levitation wraps. around Doctor Strange. Later, Bruce. Banner wears Strange's casual clothes. Tony Stark tells Pepper Pots about his. vivid dream of a kid named Morgan. A. dream that will come true in Avengers. Endgame when they have a daughter named. Morgan. As we learn in Doctor Strange. and the Multiverse of Madness, dreams. are simply our view into the lives of. different versions of ourselves across. the multiverse. So, Tony was peeping on. a multiversal Tony that already had a. Morgan. Now, there was a deleted version. of the scene where Happy Hogan would. have rolled up on a golf cart and then. gone chasing after Bert, the paparazzi,

played by Joe Russo. >> I feel like you two should just elope. because this media circus that's going. on is driving me crazy. Okay, >> this is me on edge. >> because I'm trying to keep all the. pictures out of the paper and off the. internet so that your wedding's not. ruined. >> No one's working hard of any. >> Remember that kid from TMZ that you had. me trade paint with on the FDR Drive? Well, I got a case against me now. >> That's my fault. >> Yeah, it's your fault. Lose him half. Lose him half like the godfather. It's. really funny. Now I got to go to court. That's why we want you to get out of the. cart and just de-stress. Just relax with. us. >> BERT, I SEE YOU, BERT. >> Hold on, Bert. You son of a [ __ ] COME.

HERE, BERT. COME HERE, >> MAN. We got to get him a girlfriend. >> Here in the scene, we see how Tony has. installed a housing for his nano suit on. his chest because he's not going to be. caught flat-footed. Pepper says that he. doesn't need it, but Tony reassures her. >> I'm just trying to protect us, future. uses, and that's it. Just in case. there's a monster in the closet instead. of, you know, >> shirts. Tonyy's setting up that he needs. the nano suit here now to protect the. future versions of them is a hint of the. time travel shenanigans that would round. out this two-part story. Items in the. past that protect the future. Doctor.

Strange shows up and Bruce Banner is. back on Earth for the first time since. Age of Ultron and gives Tony a desperate. hug. They all retreat back to the. Sanctum Sanctorum where Wong and Doctor. Strange catch Tony up on Infinity. Stones. It bangs and six elemental. crystals hurtling across the Virgin. universe. These Infinity Stones each control an. essential aspect of existence. >> In this scene, Tony looks at the cell. phone that Steve Rogers gave him at the. end of Civil War, and we see that. there's an unopened text message on. there. Like, at some point, Steve Rogers. tried to reach out to him to further.

explain his position, and Tony just. never really opened it. Bruce gives the. whole exposition on Thanos, and Tony. doesn't even blink because this is the. moment he's been waiting for. Tony. bickers with Strange. >> You could destroy life on a scale hither. too unre. >> Did you seriously just say hither too. unre? Are you seriously leaning on the. cauldron of the cosmos? >> In the comics, Doctor Strange uses this. cauldron of the cosmos to help. Spider-Man look backwards in time, just. like Strange's cryptic one plan will. require the Avengers to do. And I love. this detail. It's pretty easy to miss, but the cloak of levitation totally acts.

independently, kind of like Aladdin's. magic carpet, and smacks Tony. Here, in. the scene, they mention making balloon. animals, which is a nod to Doctor. Strange's Jimmy Kimmel bit. And they. also reference the Ben and Jerry's ice. cream flavor, a hunk of hulka burning. fudge, which we will see Bruce Banner. eating in Avengers Endgame. Bruce is. shocked to hear he's a flavor, probably. because he wants a fat royalty check. Tony wants Doctor Strange to destroy the. time stone, which he refuses to do. >> Our oath to protect the time stone. cannot change, and this stone may be the. best chance we have against Thanos. >> As we will see from the Ancient One in. Avengers Endgame, the Masters of the.

Mystic Arts are very serious about. protecting the time stone. But Doctor. Strange is right. Time is their best. chance at defeating Thanos. Bruce tells. Tony that Thor is gone, for in his mind, he must be dead. Here's where Tony pulls. out the flip phone. It's actually a 2011. AT&T Z221 envelope icon. It's so funny. to watch these earlier Marvel movies and. they never have iPhones. Meanwhile, on a. field trip, Peter Parker's Spidey sense. triggers his arm hairs, kind of like the. tiny hair spiders actually use to sense. vibrations. We're not showing you a. photo because, you know, a lot of. actobes watch these videos and we don't. want to freak you out. Peter slaps on.

his web shooters that activate around. his wrists. He'll take these to Europe. with him, using them against the water. elemental in Venice. He leaves Stanley's. school bus wearing a shirt reading. lettuce, the taste of sadness. He's. going to get a big mouthful of lettuce. as this movie ends. He leaps off the. Queensboro Bridge because our boy is. from Queens after all. This is the. bridge next to Roosevelt Island tramway. that Peter and MJ will stand on as they. run from the press in Spider-Man No Way. Home. This is also a bridge that I think. goes over Roosevelt Island, where the. DODC facility is where that Ventmax.

sticker is that Sarah Gray will obsess. over. As they face down Squidward and. his big friend, Doctor Strange is able. to conjure the spell known as the winds. of Watum to nullify the wind damage. being created by Thanos's Q- ship. A. clear sign to Tony that magic is perhaps. powerful enough to take on Thanos. Tony. scoffs, but you know he's impressed by. the world of magic he's suddenly being. introduced to. Tony's new Mark 50. nanotech armor absorbs his sunglasses as. he takes them off, meaning he just did. this as an intimidation tactic. These. glasses are powered by Friday and look. very similar to the Edith glasses that. Tony will leave behind for Peter Parker.

During this fight, Ebony Ma burns his. hands on the eye of Agamoto, like the. Nazi with the headpiece in Raiders of. the Lost Arc. [screaming]. And then when Wong severs Cole. Obsidian's hand on the other side of the. portal, you can see that Bruce Banner. already had his fists up, ready to go. For this quick save, Tony invites Wong. to his wedding. And considering Wong. wasn't dusted, he might have actually. gone. Peter Parker follows Tony's orders. to save the wizard. >> and ends up on the ascending spaceship. >> Uh, Mr. Stor, I'm being beamed up. >> I guess Peter Parker knows Star Wars and.

Star Trek. Tony shoots up to save Peter. Inside his helmet, you can see his. nanotech preparing to assemble into the. foot booster. Love that little detail. Later on in the movie, when they're on. Titan, Tony's heads up display shows the. nanobots prepping the missiles that he's. about to fire at Thanos. This booster. was an upgrade that Tony made after his. failure to catch up with Rodie in Civil. War. He's not going to let that happen. to Peter. Tony tells Friday to. >> unlock 17A. >> Ah, one of many examples of the number. 17 in the MCU. This shoots out what. becomes Peter's Iron Spider suit. This. is a suit that he wanted to give to.

Peter at the end of Spider-Man. Homecoming. This suit was inspired by. the Civil War comics, where it also had. mechanical legs, Waldos, which first. appeared in Amazing Spider-Man number. 529 during the Civil War event. Pepper. Pods calls Tony as he exits Earth's. atmosphere with a call quickly dropping. out. This is similar to how Tony tried. to call Pepper as he was guiding the. nuke through the portal in the 2012. Avengers film. Only that time, Pepper. didn't see the call. We catch up with. the Guardians of the Galaxy. This is. several years after we last saw them in. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, noticed by Peter Quill's facial hair. They're singing along to Rubber Band. Man, which was a song written for the.

spinners producers's son to cheer him up. for being teased about his weight. This. song would be on Yondu's Zoom. And in. the next scene, Peter Quill gets fat. shamed, so his real daddy is kind of. cheering him up from beyond the grave. Teen Groot plays a handheld version of. the arcade game Defender, somewhat. similar to the arcade game Galaga that. the shield agent was playing on the. helicarrier in a 2012 Avengers film. Mantis has always been hilarious to. watch in the background of all these. movies. After Peter tells them to put on. their mean faces, she does practice. nashing her teeth. Later on, in nowhere, she creeps with her hands and fingers.

folded downward like a praying mantis, they bring Thor on board and cannot help. but comment on how chiseled he is. And. when he wakes up, the god of thunder. learns about Gamora's history with a mad. titan. >> Your father killed my brother. >> Oh boy. Stepfather. Technically, she. hates him as much as you do. >> This echoes how in the first Avengers, Thor was quick to point out that Loki. was adopted when Natasha said that he. murdered 80 civilians. When Thor. approaches Gammora, she reaches for her. sword, God slayer, to slay this god if. she needs to. If you've been wondering.

how Thanos started off with a power. stone already in his gauntlet, Thor. informs the Guardians that Thanos stole. it the previous week when he decimated. Xandar. We still don't know how badly. Xandar was destroyed by Thanos. But we. can assume that he and his Black Order. killed off at least half of the. population. Anything that was undone by. Hulk's snap in Endgame only fixed what. had been done after Thanos's original. snap, so it would not have been done the. destruction of Xandar. Hopefully, we're. going to learn more about Xandar's fate. in the upcoming Nova movie written by. Michael Waldron. Thor heads off to. Nidavalier with Rocket and Groot to. build a Thanos killing weapon since. Mjolnir was destroyed by Hela and.

Ragnarok. Before leaving, he assures the. Guardians that the two Infinity Stones. on Earth are safely with the Avengers. >> Time and minds are safe on Earth. They're with the Avengers. >> The Avengers? The Earth's mightiest. heroes. >> Like Kevin Bacon. >> He may be on the team. I don't know. I. haven't been there in a while. Mantis. will eventually kidnap Kevin Bacon in an. effort to give her halfb brotherther. Peter Quill a merry Christmas present in. the Guardians of the Galaxy holiday. special. Quill wants a Thanos killing. weapon too, but Thor warns. >> you simply lack the strength to wield. them. Your bodies would crumple as your. minds collapsed into madness. >> But not our boy Steve Rogers. He can.

wield both Mujolnir and Stormbreaker. Back on Earth, we jump to Edinburgh, Scotland, where Vision and Wanda have. been hanging out. We learned in an. Infinity War prelude comic that Wanda. fled to Edinburgh to stay low after the. events of Civil War. Vision found her. there and they rekindled their budding. romance. White Vision will return to. Edinburgh in the upcoming Vision Quest. series as he seeks to recover his. memories. We see him working there in. the trailer and we see the bar top that. they used to frequent where they carved. their initials into it in a heart. Wanda. scans Vision's mindstone visually. foreshadowing the way that she'll blast. this thing out of his head later. >> I just feel you.

>> Also foreshadowing Vision's final words. to her in this movie. >> I just feel you. >> And something that gets heartbreakingly. called back in Wision. >> I can't feel you. Corvvis Glaive and. Proxima Midnight arrive to get the mind. stone. Glaive stabs Vision with his. Glaive. It's a powerful weapon that can. prevent Vision from phasing and can also. block the energy beam from the stone. Wanda begins to stitch up the wound with. magic when the backup arrives, but this. is why Vision can no longer phase for. the rest of the movie. Steve Rogers. appears from behind a passing train as. Sylvestri's Avengers theme plays. Interesting that he appears from behind.

a train. The Russo brothers have. recently when talking about Avengers. Doomsday compared their process for that. movie to Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time. in the West and memorably harmonica at. the beginning of that movie appears from. behind a train. This kind of makes me. think that maybe they really do view. Robert Downey Jr. as the stunt casting. good guy as the bad guy as Frank and. that Harmonica might be Steve Rogers. analog. Now remember, Steve tore off the. star emblem from his suit through the. tears underneath. Cap still wears the. older scale mesh armor that he used to. have. Natasha has gone blonde as she's. still in hiding following Civil War and.

wears a gray vest that we learn in the. Black Widow film that she got from her. sister figure El Yolena Bova, both the. vest and the hairstyle. Natasha manages. to stab Glaive with the Glaive, causing. him and Proxima Midnight to retreat. Natasha will think that she killed him. when she runs into Proxima again in. Wakanda. >> Where's your other friend? >> He will pay for his life with yours. >> But Proxima uses this ruse in order to. get Glaive closer to Vision. We see the. gang hopping into a Quinn jet and head. back to the Avengers compound, which. Steve calls home. This calls back what. he said at the end of Age of Ultron. >> You all right? I'm home.

>> But Steve won't truly feel home until he. stays in the past, creating a branch. timeline and probably screwing things up. for Dr. Doom. We get a flashback of. Thanos's attack on Gamora's home world, the Zoet, where he used the Black Order. and the Chitauri to kill off half of. that planet society. We see him meeting. a young Gamora, played by Ariana. Greenblat. Ariana would go on to play. young Ahsokaano in the live action. Ahsoka series. The Guardians arrive on. Nowhere, which will later be their base. of operations in Guardians of the Galaxy. Volume 3. As they sneak up on Thanos, you can hear him say to the collector, "Everyone in the galaxy knows you'd sell.

your own brother if you thought it would. add even the slightest trinket to your. pathetic collection.". >> His brother would be the Grandmaster, played by Jeff Goldblum and Ragnarok. One of the collections in the vault is a. blue man, a nod by the Russo brothers to. the form that Tobias Fuk took throughout. Arrested Development. Worth noting that. this intact vault was a reality stone. illusion. So Thanos totally conjured a. blue man from his own imagination. Another reality stone clue that fans. spotted when the Blu-ray came out. When. Gamora stabs Thanos, the dagger after. she pulls back doesn't have Thanos's.

blood on it. Proof that this was. actually an elucory stab. But yes, Thanos does already have the reality. stone, formerly the ether from Thor: The. Dark World. The stone glows red in his. gauntlet, similar to a specific red gem. that we noticed in the armor for Dr. Doom in the Avengers Doomsday trailer. We know the power the Infinity Stones. have. So, if Dr. Doom doesn't intend to. save or reshape his universe in some. way, he likely sought out the Infinity. Stones in his own universe of the 828. Earth. Thanos uses the reality stone to. break Drax into cubes in Mantis into. ribbons. Almost like how Wanda Maximoff.

spaghettified Reed Richards in the 838. universe in Multiverse of Madness. Quill. tries to fulfill his promise to kill. Gamora instead of letting Thanos capture. her, but Thanos turns his blasts into. bubbles. This is the last time Quill. will see this Gamora. So, in a way, this. is her moment of death for him. Back at. Avengers HQ, Steven Mcily cameos as one. of Secretary Ross' aids. Natasha and. Bruce reunite, having not seen each. other since the end of Age of Ultron. But I'm sure Bruce is not ready to admit. he now has a son named Scar with a. terrible haircut. Vision says, >> "Thanos threatens half the universe. One.

life cannot stand in the way of. defeating him. >> But it should. >> We don't trade lives, Vision." The. Avengers could have just skipped ahead. to Vision's fate, but their stubbornness. to surgically sustain his soul gives. Thanos enough time to get the time stone. and reverse whatever they do. That. refusal to trade lives ends up costing. everyone everything, forcing them to. trade lives nonetheless. To mourn in. Wakanda, Tchala provides Bucky with his. new vibranium arm, replacing the arm. that Tony blasted off in Civil War.

Tchala refers to him as the White Wolf, a moniker that comes up in the Falcon of. the Winter Soldier series. There's a. white wolf in Marvel comics, but it's. not Bucky. Rather, a different foreigner. who was adopted by King Tachaka after. surviving a plane crash. Ebony Ma. tortures Doctor Strange. >> They were originally designed for micro. surgery. >> A cruel irony for Strange, whose pre-. sorcerer specialty was micro surgery. Some concept art revealed an alternate. version of this scene with Tony saving. Strange by putting him in the nanotech. And we know from behind the scenes. footage that they did shoot some version. of the scene where Tony Stark would have.

been wearing the cloak of levitation. Peter Parker's plan to save Doctor. Strange is to blast Ebony Maw into space. like Ripley does to the xenomorph queen. in the really old movie Aliens, though. technically she does a similar trick at. the end of the first Alien film. Peter. tries to meet Strange's cloak of. levitation, but it brushes him off. He'll spar with that same cloak in. Spider-Man No Way Home. Strange asks if. Peter is Tony's ward, a reference to. Batman having Robin as his ward. Strange. says, >> "If it comes to saving you or the kid or. the time stone, I will not hesitate to.

let either of you die.". >> Finally, someone speaking some sense in. this movie. The other Avengers losses of. loved ones and mentors felt like. avoidable mistakes. Strange lost the. ancient one, but she taught him that. death gives life meaning. Strange is. totally willing to sacrifice others, even the time stone itself, if it means. winning an endgame. We also know that. Steven Strange across the multiverse. will go to extreme lengths to protect. their universes. The Steven Strange of. the 838 universe formed the Illuminati. to make tough decisions like this and. even used the Darkhold in the effort to. defeat that universe's Thanos while also. wiping out an entire other universe.

Thanos uses both the power stone and the. space stone to separate nebulous parts. and torture each piece. Double the. amount of pain that he gave Thor. He. tells Gamora, >> "But I never taught you to lie. That's. why you're so bad at it.". >> In Guardians volume 2, Nebula also was. unable to lie. You know, you'd think an. evil super villain would learn how to. properly lie. >> And in Endgame, she ends up echoing. Thanos's lying policy. >> My father is many things. A liar is not. one of them. >> Thanos reveals Nebula and Gamora's. conversation from Guardians of the. Galaxy Volume 2. So, there was some sort.

of map to the soul stone that Gamora. burnt to ash. I wonder who originally. made that map. And if that map exists in. the 828 universe, is that how Dr. Doom. could have found the soul stone in that. reality? I don't know why, but the month. of September always feels like a major. transition for me. Like I haven't been. in high school since high school, but. because I spent so many of my formative. years treating September like the start. of some big new adventure, it's just. hard to flip that switch off. And it's. not just the residual inertia of going. back to school. A lot of the patterns I. developed before I had the right context. or self-awareness to appreciate them.

still linger. Something my therapist has. reminded me of that's really helpful is. that now I can apply adult context and. agency to some of those feelings. So. yeah, it's September and if I'm feeling. geared up for a big new adventure, why. not just lean into it? Maybe you feel. the same way. Maybe you've been thinking. about therapy yourself, and maybe now is. the time to embark on that adventure. Better Help, the sponsor of today's. video, makes starting therapy easy.

On the Milano's pod ship, Thor. laments his many losses, including his. brother Loki, but he tries to amp. himself up. >> Thanos is just the latest in a long line. of bastards, and he'll be the latest to.

fill my vengeance fate. Wills it so. >> And what if you're wrong? Well, if I'm. wrong, then. what more could I lose? >> Thor will face an even greater enemy in. the form of Dr. Doom in Doomsday. And at. that point, he will have something more. to lose. His adopted daughter, Love. Thor, Rocket, and Groot find the ruins. of Navalier and Etri, played by Peter. Dinklage. Etri is pissed at first since. they were supposed to be under Asgard's. protection. Nidavalier is one of the. nine realms, and with Odin dead and. Ragnarok having come to pass, there was. really no protection for the dwarves of.

Nidalar. Ichi revealed that he had. forged the Infinity Gauntlet with a. mold. The screenwriters interpreted that. the gauntlet Thanos had in the Age of. Ultron postredit scene was a practice. gauntlet. So if that's true, that really. leaves the MCU with four total. gauntlets. There's the Age of You. Postredit practice gauntlet, the fake. gauntlet in Odin's Vault, Thanos's. Infinity War gauntlet, and ultimately. Tony Stark's nano gauntlet. They. assemble a new weapon. >> In theory, it could even summon the. Bifrost. It have a name. Stormbreaker. Stormbreaker is the name.

of the battle axe that Beta Ray Bill. carries as Thor. It does have Bifrost. powers. Notice the mold is engraved with. a symbol that the Bifrost scorches into. the ground. Strange cushions the crash. landing on Titan for Tony and Peter. >> Oh, you want. >> one that Tony will give Strange and in. the one out of 14,605 futures they. succeed. The one sacrifice play that. Strange reminds him of in Endgame. He. always trembles his hand, which he also. does when confronting the Guardians here. and when surrendering the time stone. just him tracking that his hands were.

never fully physically healed. This. faction of the Guardians run into them. as well since Nebula sent a message to. Mantis while she escaped. Quill has his. mask again, even though that mask seemed. to get destroyed in Guardians of the. Galaxy Volume 2. This was a continuity. error that kind of irked James Gun since. he had no control over the Guardians in. this Russo's directed movie, even though. he is credited as a producer on it. This. left him needing to have a contrived. reason why Quill didn't have his mask in. volume 3, saying on Twitter that Quill. left his mask in the desk drawer on. nowhere when he rushed off to save. Rocket. Blood Gun would kind of have his. revenge by having Nebula somehow steal.

Buckyy's vibranium arm in the Guardians. holiday special and gifted to Rocket for. Christmas. There never is an explanation. of how Bucky has his arm again and. Captain America: Brave New Worlds or. Thunderbolts. I guess the Wakandons just. gave him another one or he just somehow. got it back. But yes, this fight is. where we get this wonderful exchange. Where is Gamora? >> Yeah, I'll do you one better. Who's. Gamora? I'll do you one better. Why is. Gamora? I mean that question of why is. Gamora is kind of the thematic answer of. this movie. Gamora represents the. sacrifice that the protagonist of the.

story Thanos is willing to make and the. kind of sacrifice that the other. antagonists who we consider to be the. heroes is not willing to make. Once you. understand that why of Gamora, this. whole movie does turn on its thematic. axis. I like the detail of the gravity. on Titan being reduced. And we see. Mantis bouncing and Drax yawning, which. might not just be because he's bored, but because the reduced gravity would. make the air thinner, resulting in him. yawning in order to get more oxygen. We. do see a variant version of Titan in. Multiverse of Madness, where the. Illuminati were able to kill that Thanos. thanks to the Darkhold and even drove. Thanos's double-edged sword into his.

chest. The A38 Thanos was stopped by the. Illuminati before he collected all the. stones. So you can see his gauntlet on. Titan that he's missing the mind stone. and the time stone, meaning that he. didn't get all the way to Earth in that. universe. While Doctor Strange reviews. the 14,605. possible outcomes for their battle with. Thanos, I like how the green rings. around his forearms rotate back and. forth, kind of like he's scrubbing. through film reels. This time spent. studying the tape will also give him. proper knowledge of what spells to throw. at Thanos in their upcoming fight. But. yes, here is the question we asked. Did. Strange look all the way into the future.

beyond Endgame to see Dr. Doom and. Doomsday in this moment. While Doomsday. and Secret Wars are going to give us. more context to what Doctor Strange knew. and when he knew it. But I think a key. detail we have to remember when it comes. to the usage of the time stone, the user. of the time stone can only see their own. future or their own past. Because using. the time stone has to fast forward or. rewind a specific being. So when Strange. fast forward into the future, since he. got dusted, he would have had to skip. past this dark period that he would have. been unable to see. It would have gone. straight from the moment he dusted on.

Titan to the moment he undusted 5 years. later, went through one of Wong's. portals and showed up on the battle of. Earth. But using the time stone to. glimpse into the future doesn't give you. omniscience to everything that happens. everywhere in that future. So for the. purposes of Tony Stark here, Steven. Strange was only able to see himself in. the future in the Battle of Earth in. that moment that he told Tony Stark that. he would have to sacrifice himself and. specifically Tony Stark's sacrificial. play in his death. And that's probably. the source of Doctor Strange's nerves. here because he understands that at some. point he's gonna have to tell this guy. that he's gonna have to die. It's also. crazy to consider that Doctor Strange.

knows that in order to make all of this. possible, in order to have any kind of. reality on the other side of that. blackout period, that he would have to. surrender the time stone and kind of let. Thanos win so that there would be one. reality on the other side of that, meaning that the surviving Avengers. figured out some way around it. and that. Doctor Strange, once he glimpsed ahead. to that moment in October 2023, was able. to deduce that the surviving Avengers. must have used time travel, a time heist. to bring back stones that would have. been otherwise destroyed. But either. way, Doctor Strange is so nervous partly. because he knows that Tony Stark is.

going to have to sacrifice himself. But. by extending that logic, using the time. stone on yourself only gives you a. vision of where you are in the future. Maybe Strange also looked further and. got a glimpse of himself in the events. of Multiverse of Madness, learning about. Incursions, and then eventually serving. someone else in an unfamiliar kingdom. with his hair in a ponytail. So rather. than recognizing the face he's seeing. now as the face of the Dr. Doom figure. he was serving, I just think Strange. might sense a kind of familiarity that. there's some kind of cosmic connection.

between the really creepy Beyond Beyond. fate that he saw and where he is right. now. He's just a little confused. On. Vormir, Thanos and Gamora encounter Red. Skull, a big surprise cameo of this. movie. Red Skull was teleported right. here by the space stone that was held. inside of the tesseract when he held it. in Captain America: The First Avenger. Now he floats like a ghostly figure. Red. Skull is played here by Ross Markwond. replacing Hugo Weaving from the first. Captain America movie. Markwand is a. prolific voice actor providing the voice. of Ultron in the animated What If series. and Professor X and Apocalypse on X-Men.

97. He says. >> welcome Thanos, son of All Camora, daughter of Thanos. >> Thanos's father was Allars, an Eternal. We didn't learn anything new about. Thanos in the Eternals film, but we did. meet his adopted brother, Star Fox, who. is an Eternal who fled Titan before it. was destroyed. Because there were. Eternals on Titan, does that mean that. there was also a celestial seed inside. of that planet? And because life on. Titan died out due to lack of resources, does that mean that the celestial seed. inside of it never grew? Maybe that's.

what Thanos was up to all along, trying. to stop these dang celestials from. hatching by reducing populations. In. this moment, Thanos puts his hand back. to keep Gamora behind him. a protective. instinct setting up his coming sacrifice. of her is even more heartbreaking. And. the fact that Red Skull identified her. as daughter of Thanos despite him not. being her real father and kidnapping. her, meaning that he was the truest. parental figure to her soul. During this. whole sequence, Thanos carries Gamora's. all things balance dagger in his belt. We only realize it when she snatches it. to end her own life. But it's another.

Bubbles reality stone illusion, meaning. that he kept up that illusion the whole. time as a trick to just keep her online. with the possible fail save that she. would have to take her own life. One. final lesson in using this dagger as a. symbol for his dark understanding of. balance. I love how Thanos's true love. tar trickles right into the trench that. was already on his cheek. As if this guy. was designed and naturally selected to. mourn. As we see Gamora dead on the. bottom of the cliff. If you look. closely, you can see blood stains on the. ground around her, meaning that others. over the years must have tried to. acquire the soul stone and failed. Their.

sacrifices were for nothing because they. don't really love that much the person. they threw off the cliff. Cap and the. gang arrived to the golden city of. Wakanda. Bruce embarrasses himself by. bowing. He couldn't even pronounce. Wakanda a few years ago. >> Wakanada. Wakanda. >> Sure he gets to work on Vision while. Tchala brings his forces to face the. incoming threat, including getting Steve. a shield. >> Give this man a shield. >> Steve had left his shield with Tony. Stark at the end of Civil War. Tchala. embraces Umbaku on the battlefield. Umbbaku will eventually take Tchala's. place as leader of Wakanda following the. events of Black Panther Wakanda for.

Forever. as one of the landing craft. crashes into the dome. You can see on. War Machine's chest the name Lieutenant. Colonel James Roads with RE at the end. indicating he's retired from the. military. You can also see later that. the armor is now marked 004, an upgrade. to the Mark III suit in Civil War, and. it still bears the Air Force insignium. Tchala tells the Black Order, >> "Thanos would have nothing but dust and. blood.". >> Solid foreshadowing. Thanos gets his. dust and the blood of those he wounds. That victory again comes from Thanos's. willingness to trade lives. They're.

killing themselves. >> Natasha's concerned look signals her. dread. We don't trade lives, but they. do. Yeah, they're probably going to win. The Wakandan's chant. >> This was the war cry that translates to. hold or hold fast. We actually heard it. burst in Black Panther. >> In that context, it was the River Tribes. call. Tchala is saluting and paying. respects to his love Nakia, mother of. his child. Tchala and Cap lead the. charge. They both have enhanced speed, but Tchala is just a step ahead. The. last time they sprinted together, one. was chasing the other in Civil War. Now.

they run together side by side. Cap on. his left. Etree smashes the Stormbreaker. mold, meaning this weapon could never be. forged again. The molten Uru also. appears to flow into a second forge, which at first I thought was for the. back half of the hammer, but both pieces. are beside each other when he breaks the. mold. Maybe it's the missing handle, but. that would be a weird thing to make out. of Uru. Just saying. It might have been. using the company printer ink for some. personal projects. Along the bladed edge. of Stormbreaker, as guardian runes. translate to loose the dogs of war, a. famous paraphrase from Shakespeare's.

Julius Caesar. Cry havoc and let slip. the dogs of war. Groot winces as his. branches singe and he cuts off his arm. for the handle. Groot, like Doctor. Strange, gets that personal sacrifice is. key to victory. And now anytime Thor. swings Stormbreaker, Groot will kind of. be at his side. I like the detail in. Thor 11 Thunder that Thor ends up. planting this handle kind of like a tree. because it is kind of a living part of. Groot as a floor colossi. As Thor calls. Stormbreaker, it rises and crackles with. lightning as Thor is the one imbuing it. with the power of the god of thunder. The three ride the Bifrost to Wakanda, leaving the burned symbol on the ground.

>> It's really fun to rewatch this moment. You kind of just want to stand up and. clap here. But you have to remember Thor. is kind of the antagonist due to the. movie structure. So, this is kind of. like Michael Myers showing up in the. final fight. Thor's appearance rallies. the other heroes, especially Bruce. Banner, who is relieved to see his buddy. Thor actually did survive that encounter. with Thanos on a statesman. Meanwhile, on Titan, Thanos arrives to find the Ma. dead, but the time stone here on Doctor. Strange. He explains his mission to. Strange. >> With all six stones, I could simply snap.

my fingers. They would all cease to. exist. And I call that mercy. >> And then what? >> I finally rest and watch the sunrise on. [music] a grateful universe. The hardest. choices require the strongest wills. >> Perhaps Dr. Doom will feel the same way. in Doomsday. Making the hard choices to. save a universe from destruction. But. Doom's desire could be to watch the. sunrise on a grateful battle world. Thanos begins to use his stones in these. interesting combinations, which you can. really tell because they light up when. they're being used. He uses the power. stone to blast through Tony's debris and. the reality stone to turn that into.

bats. He combines the power stone and. the space stone to harness fire from. Tony's explosives and redirects them as. a flamethrower. Everyone begins. attacking as Doctor Strange conjures the. sacred sword of Ashanti to attack the. Mad Titan. Strange uses his cloak of. levitation to stop Thanos from making a. fist while Spider-Man punches and kicks. coming through portals. And when that. doesn't work, Strange uses a spell known. as the Crimson Bands of Citurak to wrap. around the gauntlet. The device used in. the New York Sanctum Sanctorum that. Strange used to capture Chailus in the. first Doctor Strange was also called the.

Crimson Bands of Citarak. Peter Quill. uses his gravity snare on Thanos, the. same device that he used to hook the. power stone orb in Guardians of the. Galaxy Volume 1, using it again to. regain a type of stone possession. And I. love how the Russos show these inserts. where we can see the gauntlet just. starting to come off of Thanos's hand. We can see his palm. We were so close to. winning, but Peter Quill learns the. wrong thing at the wrong time. Where is. she? >> He mourns. >> WHAT IS THIS MONSTER? I HAVE TO MOURN. NOW, LAURA, WHAT? >> You took her to warm here. He came back.

with the soul stone. >> Did she did it? >> Tell me you didn't do it. >> I. [groaning]. know how you did. >> It's. now coming out of Mantis's mind. sedation. Thanos tosses the heroes off. of him and blasts Peter Quill and Drax. the Nebula with the power stone. But. when we cut back to Thanos, the soul. stone is weirdly glowing. That's. definitely the orange one on his. knuckle. Maybe he spared Nebula's soul. here. Or maybe he needed to combine the.

soul combination since Peter Quill is. half celestial. Thanos uses another. stone combination of the power stone to. smash up a nearby moon with chunks and. then the space stone to spike all of. those chunks down at them. Back in. Wakanda, Rocket again shows his interest. in spare body parts. >> How much for the arm? >> Oh, I'll get that arm. >> As mentioned before, Nebula will get. that arm for Rocket in the Guardians. Holiday Special. There's a lot of really. fun character vignette moments here. >> I am thrilled. I am Steve Rogers. >> Thor and Steve also catch up as they. haven't seen each other since Thor left.

Earth at the end of Age of Ultron. Wanda. comes down to the battlefield and shows. off some of her immense chaos magic as. she tosses aside the giant mechanical. tunneling blades. Okcoy rightly quips, >> why was she up there all this time? >> Wanda will end up going one-on-one with. Thanos later in this movie and then once. again during Endgame and hold her own. Banner continues to beg Hulk to come. out, but Hulk refuses. There actually. was a deleted scene during this moment. where Banner and Hulk had a whole. conversation in the Hulkbuster suit. And. ultimately, he would have burst out of. it as Smart Hulk. Something that was. also teased in the promotional images.

for the movie and the very first teaser. in November 2017. Smart Hulk would have. then met Sam and Natasha in another. deleted scene. >> You want to take this one? >> Look who decided to show up. >> Hey guy. >> Hello. That's okay. We worked it out. In fact, I'd say it's gone from worst. case scenario to well, I don't know if.

it's best case, but at least it feels. very, very manageable. I hear it, too. How we doing out there? They're doing okay. >> But ultimately, the Russos decided to. save Smart Hulk for Avengers Endgame and. purposely use shots of Hulk in the. trailer that were not in the final film. to combat all the spoilers that were. coming out ahead of the film's release. Banner uses his handy Hulkbuster arm to.

clamp onto Cull Obsidian Stump from his. severed arm earlier, blasting him off to. his death. Similar to a move that Tony. Stark used on the Hulk with his armor. during their battle in Johannesburg in. Age of Ultron. Vision also comes full. circle in his killing of Corvvis Glaive. surprise impaling him with the same. weapon that Corvvis used on him in. Edinburgh. Wanda, Natasha, and Acoy. finish off Proximate Midnight. So even. though the Avengers lose to Thanos, they. do manage to kill all of the Black. Order. Well done. >> We don't want to kill you, but we will. >> That's really gross. Back on Titan, we.

get a badass wizard duel between Thanos. and Strange that the writer is actually. based on the Vincent Price versus Boris. Carlo duel in The Raven. Strange first. fires the bolts of ballac at Thanos. Thanos replies the blast from the power. stone, which Strange blocks with the. mirror dimension. When he tries to trap. Thanos in the mirror dimension, Thanos. shatters it with the power stone and. then uses the space stone to turn these. pieces into a black hole. Strange blocks. that with the shield of Saraphim and. then transmutes the pieces into. butterflies with a spell known as the.

hory hosts of Hogoth. It's an effect. similar to Thanos's bats, just much. sweeter. The writers also revealed that. Strange was originally going to drag. Thanos into a vision of the bones of his. victims and a trial with the Living. Tribunal judging him guilty. You can see. some of this in the official concept art. book. Strange uses his images of icon. spell to duplicate himself, but Thanos. uses the soul stone again to identify. which Strange is the real one and the. power stone to wipe out all the. duplicates. Since these were actual. copies of Strange and not just projected.

illusions like Loki would create, you. can actually see the multiple souls. quickly jumping back into Strange's. prime body, similar to a soul returning. after an astral projection. Thanos then. uses the space stone and reality stone. to pull Strange into his grasp, moving. all of the space around him and under. his feet as well. So now the fight. spills over into a Tony Stark versus. Thanos fight. And this fight actually. echoes Tony's past foes in reverse. order. He has a thruster powered hook. like his shotgun armor against Aldrich. Killian in Iron Man 3. This actually. cuts Thanos.

>> All that for a drop of blood. >> Echoing Iron Man 2 whiplash's line. >> If you can make God bleed, I think people will cease to believe in. him. And then after stabbing Tony, Thanos tilts over paralyzed Tony just. like Obadiah Stain did in the first Iron. Man. Thanos smartly focuses on Tony. Stark's head during this battle, knowing. that he would waste nanobots protecting. his brain. Strange gives up the time. stone to save Tony Stark, knowing it's. going to be part of the one plan that he. saw working. And that future of the.

endgame of this grand chess match is. what Doctor Strange references here with. this line. >> We're in the end game now. >> Back in Wakanda, Steve is actually able. to hold back Thanos. I like how Josh. Brolan includes a subtle look of. surprise and kind of respect that this. Tan can hold him back. We see Thanos. doing the slow motion certain death. march. And while he could completely. kill every person he faces, I kind of. like the detail that he spares their. lives, knowing that the fair cruel. justice of just snapping the six stones. will select which of them were designed. to live and die. He really doesn't want. to take any more lives than he has to.

here. Wanda starts to destroy the. Mindstone while holding back Thanos and. his five Infinity Stones. This woman is. strong. She manages to kill Vision, one. of his many deaths to come in the MCU. Thanos brings him back with the time. stone, and then kills him again by. yanking out the Mind Stone. Vision's. lifeless body will be brought back to. life by Tyler Hayward at Sword in the. Wanda Vision series, and that White. Vision will return to Edinburgh for a. vision quest. Thor throws Stormbreaker. at Thanos, which is able to cut through. the power of all six Infinity Stones,

which means that Dr. Doom must be. incredibly powerful to stop that same ax. with only his finger in Doomsday. But. Thor is blinded by vengeance and he. surrenders the hero title to Thanos. because victory would have been his if. he aimed a little higher. >> You should have gone for the head. >> I love Thor's no like any crazy. antagonist the moment he gets defeated.

>> Thanos arrives in the soul stone realm. to be teased by young Gamora. Presumably, Smart Hulk and Tony went. there, too, after their snaps in. Endgame. They did film a deleted scene. with Tony Stark meeting a grown-up. Morgan in the Soulstone realm. And I. think the filmmaker said that when Hulk. went there, he saw Natasha. Thanos. portals away, and you could see a green. glow on his wound, suggesting he might. be using the time stone to reverse the. injury somewhat. There's also some red. glow in there to suggest he's using the. reality stone to somehow warp the wound. Really, all the stones are glowing here. and all the colors can be seen in the.

wound, suggesting it takes all six. stones combined to shake out. Stormbreaker here. For the dusting, the. VFX artist settled on desaturated dust. to connect with the spiritual ashes to. ashes, dust to dust concept, but also to. make it easy for the particles to. disappear into the background, the. floor, the street. It's not like piles. of ash. It's just kind of dust scattered. amongst the soil and then gone. James. Gun later tweeted that Groot's final I. am Groot to rock it translates to dad. Wanda throws her head back in anguish, her last thought being her murdered. love. On Titan, Dave Bautista delivers a.

heartbreakingly high-pitched quill as. his final word. Doctor Strange assures Tony that there. was no other way. But maybe he should. have found some other way to spell out. the entire plan to him first. You know, at least give Tony a heads up that he. will need to figure out time travel. But. I don't know, maybe Doctor Strange just. understands that an ego like Tony Stark. will need to feel like he came up with. the idea himself. Peter's Spidey sense. gets one last devastating use as it. senses the oncoming pain. That's why he. dusts a few seconds after the rest.

>> I don't want to go. I don't want to go, sir. Please, please, I don't want to go. >> Meaning that Peter Parker knows this is. happening as opposed to being caught by. surprise. Peter looks up at Tony and. says, >> "Sorry.". >> And then he fades. Actually, if you. watch this clip with IMAX aspect ratio, Tony Stark's hand is clearly a digital. artifact and it kind of goes unnaturally. rigid and just kind of yips right out of. the frame. Afterwards, Tony looks at. this hand and holds it to his face, trying to embrace the dust that actually.

just slipped through his fingers. Back. on his garden farm planet, Thanos. watches the sun rise just as he. promised. >> And then what? >> I finally rest. and watch the sunrise on a grateful. universe. >> A god resting on the seventh day. In the. corner, we see his armor hanging as a. scarecrow, just like farmer Thanos in. Jim Starland's comics. We get a. post-redit scene of Nick Fury using a. souped-up pager to call for Captain. Marvel, who would be introduced between. Infinity War and Endgame. Now, those. people who dusted from the helicopter, which then crashed, are they going to be. okay when they get snapped back into.

existence? Yes. The filmmaker said that. Hulk's wish in Endgame was for everyone. to come back safely. Everyone ends this. movie on their asses. The Avengers feel. the sting of the lives they fought to. never trade, now just dead in their. hands anyway. But Thanos also feels the. pain of sacrifice as Gammora told him. >> What did it cost? >> Everything. >> But ultimately, he wins this because he. actually faces the mourning. Okay, we. have now caught up with the re-release. of Avengers Endgame that's going to be. coming next week on Avengers 25th. This. channel will be publishing a.

re-breakdown of Avengers Endgame that. will include any new bonus footage for. Avengers Doomsday. That's going to be on. the channel next Friday. But we will. also have another video that just breaks. down the new stuff we learned and what. we can theorize from it. That will. either come to the channel on Thursday. night or early Friday morning. Comment. down below with your thoughts revisiting. Infinity War.
