Discussion Post: Avengers Infinity War  
So *takes a deep breath* it is time. THIS is your dedicated space for all things Avengers: Infinity War.

Bring your squee, meta, pics, all the things! As always, please note: UNTIL OTHERWISE STATED (AFTER THE MOVIE HAS BEEN RELEASED WORLDWIDE) THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THIS FILM CAN BE DISCUSSED ON BE_COMPROMISED. You know the drill, spoilers are not fun.

A few rules:

1) Do understand that this post will be FULL of spoilers in the comments to this post. If you are absolutely against being spoiled then please avoid this post until you've seen the film. It's okay, you can post here whenever you watch the film and keep it active, so you won't be missing out. There is no end date to the squee.

2) Character bashing and ship wars are assassinable offences. We love differences in opinion and discussing all the things, but we also want to keep this bar a positive fandom space. If you think someone might be hurt by something you're about to say then either don't say it or find a better way of putting it. Please keep in mind that we are about the love.

3) Yes, even if we're all on edge wondering what the hell is going to happen to Nat, and where Clint is, and oh god is anyone going to die and Icannotcopewiththis - Ahem. Deep breaths and play nice :)

4) HAVE FUN!

WAIT WHAT NO. I'd figured Clint might be Ronin to be in disguise, to protect his family if he's not meant to be an Avengers anymore because of the Accords, and then maybe because some of his family got dusted, BUT WHAT IS THIS MADNESS THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE NO I DON'T LIKE IT :p

WELL ME EITHER but sadly his family dying is why he goes Ronin in the comics. Actually it's worse in the comics (in Ultimates, which is like an offshoot but also where a lot of MCU comes from), NAT kills them. Which at least will not happen. I would be surprised if they didn't do that, both because there's more for the character at stake that way, and otherwise he has to choose between protecting his family/helping out and that would suck.

I don't know, I was having a chat with a few people about this and I think they could just take the MCU in a different direction by telling other stories, or jumping ahead in time to the Young Avengers or something - but it would be hard to do without acknowledging what came before because they've built this world up so much.

Yeah, people are coming up with all kinds of things -- them going back in time to A1, them preventing Thanos from getting the stones, alternate universes, quantum realm, what have you. I think probably what might happen is Tony's going to build his own Gauntlet (what else did we see that giant mould for), and get everything back to where it was pre-snap and he and/or Steve and/or Thor will die taking down Thanos. I don't think they'll kill off Nat or Clint. Then again I have been thinking they would kill off Tony and/or Steve since CW and been wrong every time, LOL.
