There were 2.8 billion people on the planet in 1960. Even looking at diminishing population growth rates in developed countries, it would still only take 70 years to get the population right back to where it was. 70 years is a blink of an eye in the scope of the universe. Hell, the entirety of human existence is a blink of an eye. That was part of my problem with Thanos' plan. It's a temporary fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcFinest9erFan Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Re watched it last night. I don't know if any of you guys realized it but War machine had the the iron patriot suit at the end. Also, I still wonder how does Steve return the soul stone? Throw it back in the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about that Edit: This is probably why they have been tight lipped about what happened when Cap goes back because he'll get a mini series on disney plus...

Hope so. because when Cap went to return the soul stone, his encounter with Red Skull (whom he didn't know was there) could be epic. The power stone shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Cap goes on to cited an example with whale populations growing again and it could have been a direct link to lack of whale hunting. There were positive effects to Thanos's decision and it's hard to say whether he was right or wrong to do it. When you make a decision that effects so much it's impossible to tell the effects of everything that transpires afterwards. Morally it was wrong, but many decisions in our history that had positive outcomes or done for the right reasons could have been initiated by an act of "necessary evil" or a "hard decision". I guess the positives would be weighed by how you interpret Thanos cutting life in half. Does it mean all life? Or intelligent life? I had this debate with a couple of people who believed the latter, while I interpreted the former. If ALL life had been cut in half, resources just got cut in half as well, so populations struggling with hunger or other resource problems are no better off after the snap than before. The only advantage gained would be space to reproduce rapidly. If the deer population is cut in half along with humans, that doesn't really solve anything. I'm probably in the minority on that interpretation tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a thing? I thought Evans was done. At least, the interview he did with Men's Journal pretty much implied he was done with the character. He's had enough.

But whats he gonna do in 7 years when his directing career doesnt take off like he thought it would? Id bet he takes the money to film a 6 part mini series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Russos said they weren't done with him..I don't know if this pertains to him doing the voice over for disney+'s what if series or the other rumor that he would be directing an episode or two of falcon and WS. I don't remember what event it was but someone asked the russos about Caps adventure back to return the stones, they didn't say much but did say that's a story for another time Evans recently said " "You know, I'm not sure I can give you those answers. That's weak as s*** but ask the writers," said Evans. "Look, I understand there's a lot of things you can question about the time continuity, but if there's one thing I've learned about working with Marvel, they don't leave stones unturned. They really don't." " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
