I heard some theory that Gamora is trapped in the soul stone and will come back in the next movie. The scene with Thanos and young Gamora at the end was inside the stone, so sayeth the people who buy this theory.

It was confirmed by the Russos that the scene with Thanos and Gamora was inside the soul stone. And it is all but certain that Gamora will make a return in IW Part II. It has also been reported that she has a major part in GOTG3.

Since the reboot of the forums, I think I said this on the old forum: But those who were killed prior to the use of the Gauntlet i.e. Loki and Heimdall will remain dead. After all both of their stories have been told. Loki has been the main villain in Thor and Avengers, and played huge parts in Thor 2 and 3. Heimdall's story also has been concluded. he was never a major character, but an important one to Thor, but now with Thor being able to create his own Bifrost with the new Axe, Heimdall is not needed.

But anyone else who was killed with Thanos' snap will be restored, including Gamora.

Deadpool 2 (Spoilers)

Much like the Solo thread, this is for Deadpool 2 if people want to talk about it before others have seen it. Then it'll get merged with the main MCU thread.

I didn't much like the first one (loved the concept but found it quickly became tiresome), but the trailer for the second has got me curious as to whether I should go and see it. Anyone checked it out yet?

[Samuel 'Plan]

If Gamora does come back I'll feel horribly cheated. Her death - which also came before the click, of course - was the most impactful of the entire film. To watch that back knowing that, ultimately, some funky Infinity Stone logic got the writers out of sticking to what was possibly the second bravest decision of the entire film, especially when it's almost guaranteed they're writing themselves out of the ballsiest, would irritate the hell out of me, I won't lie.

I can take everybody coming back from Thanos' click because it's sort of expected. But bringing back Gamora alongside that would leave me feeling like the only actual deaths in Infinity War, which was meant to be the big game changer, were token offerings at the very beginning. That would be a shame, because as it stands IW has seriously gotten me back onside with the MCU after about four years of being increasingly rubbed the wrong way by it.

Saw this opening night, and I thought it was really good, and overall better than the first one. The story itself was considerably stronger, and the action sequences just balls out fun. It had some genuine heart. Some of the characters were a bit poorly handled (Vanessa, Negasonic, etc.), but Domino and Cable were really cool.

And man, the mid-credits scenes were the best ever! Worth the price of admission alone!

[Gooner]

I'd echo the sentiments above, really funny film. Some really cool cameos which I won't ruin, and yeah Domino and Cable were really good additions.

I probably prefer the first one, albeit only by a small margin. And yeah, the mid-credits scenes are bloody amazing.

[meandi]

Just got back from seeing it, and... I'm torn on whether I prefer this or the first one. Like Subho said, the story was stronger and over-all better than the origins story we got in part 1, however... part 1 is the comic movie we never should've seen to begin with. With the original, you didn't know just how violent and vulgar it would end up being, so with the new one, you're almost anticipating it turned up even more, which is where it falls flat. If anything, it's a tad tamer than the first, but I'm honestly okay with that, though.

And Gooner, there's a spoiler label, so I'm going to feel free to mention the cameos... that scene where Deadpool is walking through the mansion with Colossus and brings up the joke from the first movie about how there's never anybody there, and they show cut to the room with the Cyclops, Prof X, Quicksilver and Beast closing the door was excellent.

[Powder]

Also don;t know if any of you noticed, but the 2 redneck in the truck...the fat one was Matt Damon and the other was Alan Tudyk, and the Vanisher is Brad Pitt.

[meandi]

I didn’t mention the rednecks because it’s pretty difficult to tell it’s them. And the Brad Pitt part was so cool and unexpected, I figured I’d leave that out and let it surprise people.

Welcome to the world of comic books!

[mizfan]

Haha, that's great, I didn't realize any of that!

Thought this was very fun and funny. If you didn't like the first one you'll probably find this one to be about the same, but I loved both. Can't say if it's better than the first or not but definitely right around the same level of quality, which is exactly what I wanted.

[meandi]

So which was the better mid-credit scene? Deadpool killing “Deadpool” or killing Ryan Reynolds when he’s excited about the Green Lantern script?

[mizfan]

Haha, that whole sequence was brilliant. I think personally I preferred Deadpool killing Deadpool, because that royally pissed me off at the time (along with everyone else).

[Gooner]

Same, plus the fact he shot him multiple times.... just to be sure.
