zslane Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 31 minutes ago, Pattern Ghost said: It's not so much for the weight it carries, as it being the other nerd outrage gripe. Kind of like bookends. Well, what I mean is that "other nerd outrage gripe" carries no weight--i.e., is meaningless--because Thor had no way of knowing that embedding Stormbreaker in Thanos' chest wouldn't kill him. Now that he knows better (assuming Thanos' taunt can even be trusted), I'm sure he won't make that mistake in Endgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both stupid gripes. I wasn't in any way supporting the Thor thing. I was mocking both gripes. Edit: But I don't want to in any way shame you for your continuing nerd rage about the misplaced nerd rage about Thor not aiming for the head. drunkonduty and zslane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Admittedly, I've rarely embedded axes in people's chests so I can't draw any generalized conclusions about how another individual would react to an axe embedded in their chest.

Pattern Ghost Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I bet you wouldn't expect a smirk and a finger snap . . . and neither did Thor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Does anyone know the state of education on other species' anatomy and physiology in Asgard when Thor grew up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 It worked for Jack Nicholson in The Shining so I would've gone for the chest as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massey Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Aim for center mass. Hitting the head is tough. Of course, Thanos probably should have dodged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is that those are the characters with a safe future. It's the ones that weren't dusted that you need to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but Thor should be able to, IMO. In the absence of specific information to the contrary, Thor can't be faulted for relying on an attack which (extensive) experience taught him would almost certainly be lethal.

Maybe she'll show up for her job this time... her phone's battery has to be getting low after her last attempts as Jane Foster Pattern Ghost, Ternaugh and Matt the Bruins 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 The only reason I can see for Portman wanting back in is so that she can be Jane Foster Thor and grrl power it up. No thanks. I don't want her anywhere near the MCU. I'm fine with the female Thor storyline being done in the MCU, but they can recast Jane.

I'm thinking she's heard of the comics and went 'lead? hello?' I'm with you. New Jane Foster, whether they power her up or not. And yes, bring back Sif, she's being wasted in limbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 23 hours ago, Pattern Ghost said: We need a Thor poster that says, "You should have aimed for the head" to go with that one. In the comics, Wolverine went for the heart rather than doing the obvious thing and cutting of Thanos's arm. That one irked me for a really long time.

You'd think that a few centuries of combat experience would clue him in to the vulnerable areas of a humanoid, even if his formal combat training had been lacking.

I'd rather them sign a complete unknown who they could get cheap for at least two movies and who could pass for someone who doesn't age for the amount of time she's likely to play the character.

LOL As Thanos was portrayed in the comics at the time, his chest was so thick that it wasn't even a certainty that Wolverine's claws would reach deep enough to reach Thanos's heart if it happened to be in the part of Thanos's chest where Wolverine obviously assumed it was. And Wolverine made no effort to rip or dig around. He just stuck the claws in and struck a pose as if thinking, "Okay, you're dead now." In contrast, you can actually see Thanos's arm and tell whether you cut it off successfully or not. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
