Fam, 2013 Avengers fandom is still lit, idk what to tell you. We stopped at Winter Soldier long enough to pick up Bucky and Sam and haven’t looked back since.

the scene where thanos kills gamora is literally one of the most disgusting things ive ever seen in a movie. like how dare you show me an abusive person killing the woman he’s been abusing for years and frame it like i should feel sympathetic to HIM? fuck off

and then the NERVE of having the in-universe validation of getting the soul stone afterwards? throw the whole movie out

I see a whole lot of notes talking about “well he’s a villain so he’s supposed to be a bad person” and like…do we have to talk about just basic critical analysis 101 here?

1. The framing, the execution, the delivery, all was clearly intended to make us feel sympathy for Thanos. This is in fact a STATED GOAL of the writers. The scene is not about her, not about the sadness of her tragedy, the whole scene is focused on him and what he feels about murdering the daughter he abused.

2. The Soul Stone appeared. Meaning that the canon, in-universe “Word of God” is saying that he loved her. But abuse upon abuse, culminating in murder, is not love. As OP put it? This validates Thanos’s bullshit statement that he loved her. By the Soul Stone itself. Shit’s fucked up. It’s like telling every young abuse victim in that audience “Yeah, the parent that abuses you, tortures you, pits you against your siblings? They love you. That’s what love looks like.” People who did grow up or are growing up in that environment are going to have a hard enough time re-teaching themselves what love actually looks like, without this kind of shit.

“It’s a villain, they do bad things” only holds up as an analysis if the story portrays that the bad thing the villain did is wrong. And when the filmmakers have directly said “we wanted Thanos to be sympathetic” that makes it even more clear. Framing, dialog, tone, these are all methods that a filmmaker uses to communicate their story to us. And what their story told us was that his “pain” over murdering his daughter was in any way important (even more important than hers), and that his abuse was actually love and even the Laws of the Universe say so.

Bullshit. The people who made Infinity War not only failed to make a sympathetic villain, they surrounded an absolute monster of a villain with a film designed to try and make his despicable acts look good. Because they wanted that sympathetic character so bad, without actually having the skill to write one.

They should have just stuck with “he has an obsession with the incarnation of death”. At least that wouldn’t have created an inconsistent and occasionally nauseating narrative.

At first I actually thought that the rules of how to obtain the soul stone were brilliant.

Because if you truly, deeply love someone, you would never sacrifice them for a stone that grants you power. At the moment you would choose to sacrifice them, getting the stone would become more important to you than the person - ergo, the person was not the thing that was more important, not the thing you loved more. It was the power of the stone or what you could do with it.

To me this seemed like the perfect trap, because following this logic no one could ever get the soul stone.

Sadly, in the movie it turned out that you basically only had to sacrifice one person you “loved most”, no matter how strong this ‘love’ really was. It doesn’t matter that Thanos obviously loved and valued his vision of a perfectly balanced universe a lot more than Gamora. Gamora was the person he liked most of all the people he knew; so he 'loved her the most’ even if he was obviously abusive and killed her to gain more power.

The Order of The Avengers (Part 2) - (2021)

A couple of months ago, I asked my followers what kind of Avengers fan art they wanted to see from me and they voted at 81% for the “Medieval / Heroic Fantasy AU” option. Here’s the result, I hope you’ll enjoy it! A big thank you to @vegetamochi​ who came up with the title. (Nb: this is an art project, there’s no fic to go with it)
