How do you solve a problem like...

Hello, and welcome to your weekly Sunday discussion post! This week's topic relates to the final trailer for Avengers: Endgame.



The trailer shows the Avengers facing off (again) against Thanos. While I would have preferred that Thanos NOT be in the movie, I'm going in hoping that this is the last we'll see of him.

My hope is that Nebula gets to kill him, because she's the one who most deserves revenge. What would you like to see happen to Thanos? Gamora kills him after she comes back from the dead? Thor cuts off his head, like he should have done the first time? Tony experiments on him the way that Thanos experimented on Nebula? Share his fate in comments!

I would really love any scenario where it turns out the dusted aren't actually dead but have instead been shuttled off to a parallel universe

I've had this thought, too... a sort of "energy can neither be created nor destroyed" thing, just moved from one place to another. I think seeing parallel universes would be cool.

I kind of still want everything to wind up in Ragnarok mode

Me too! I loved that movie so much, and seeing half of the Asgardians slaughtered was upsetting.

Seeing it happen at the VERY START of Infinity War was so upsetting. Branagh's distress call, the lack of music, the....well, everything. I'm still going to write my "Asgardian refugee movie night" fic where Loki puts on amateur theatricals with all the kids/youngsters on the ship, though. (Imagine what theatrical supplies might be on the orgy ship. Imagine.) Thor is kingly (and bangs Heimdall), Val trains everybody (and bangs whomever she wants).

Oh, I SO want to read that! I'm a huge theatre nerd.

He would totally cast it as being about preserving their Asgardian heritage! Teaching the younglings about history and culture! Keeping them out of trouble while their parents try to figure out where the fuck they're going and what to do for supplies! Loki in charge of dozens of theatre kids: IMAGINE.

Ooh, yeah, I like that way of putting it, too. And it would be such a good slap to Thanos, driving home that he doesn't have the absolute control over the universe that he thought he did.

I'm still not over how much I loved the end of Ragnarok and how thoroughly IW destroyed it within minutes. I'm glad there's still a whole genre of post-Ragnarok fic that just ignores the whole thing.
