Hey guys. Welcome to Comic Basic Lists where we try to unravel everything we
know about comics in ten minutes or less. Today's topic....Nine Characters Who Will
See Avengers Infinity War Part Two and One Who Won't.
The Marvel machine is ramping up and production is running at an all-time high. With so many moving
parts in place the world is left on the edge of our seats wondering, speculating
and trying to dissect all that will happen not only Avengers infinity War
Part 1 but Avengers Infinity War Part 2 as well. The most hotly discussed
topic is who will live and who will die. With that here are 9 Characters Who Will
See Avengers Infinity War Part 2 and One Who Won't.
Let's begin by getting some of the more obvious ones out of the way. Aside from both Ant-Man and the Wasp any
and all the Guardians of the Galaxy will make it out alive.
Not only are each of them extremely popular, have become a cash cow for the
Marvel brand and some of the most recognizable heroes not named Iron Man,
Thor, or Captain America, they are set to be part of the sure to be successful
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. I'd have put Chris Pratt's Star-Lord on the list,
however, as much as he is the shining star of the soon to be trilogy, in my
mind his star doesn't shine quite as bright as Zoe Zaldana's Gamora.
Alongside Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Gamora has empowered women all
over the world to stand up and be the strong individuals we all know them to
be. Yeah, Brie Larson will become the first female to star in her own solo
movie but she is unproven. If that movie fails, Marvel can always fall back on
Gamora. Aside from Black Widow I believe that
she and her sister Nebula have the most compelling stories to be told.
I don't have to tell you that just two months after the release of Infinity
War, Ant-Man is slated to appear in his second solo, yet not so solo movie,
Ant-Man and the Wasp. Knowing this, I don't believe I need to provide any
further reasons that he will live to see Avengers Infinity War Part 2.
If you would've ask me before the monumental success of his own movie, Black Panther
may have been on the cusp of death. Much like the way half of the Avengers
rallied around the death of his father King T'Chaka,
imagine what could have and would have happened had T'Challa found himself on
the wrong end of life. No more Heart-Shaped Herb to bring him back. No more Wakandan
technology to revitalize the spirits. And no more suits to protect him. If the
Black Panther had fallen the Secret Avengers would have rallied around him
and done something very special. This, of course, is all a pipe dream and remains so
now that the Black Panther has destroyed just about every Marvel Studios record
known to man. Black Panther will live and if I'm a
betting man, in which I am if the bet is good enough, he will be at the forefront
of the worldwide assault on Thanos and his Black Order.
No one stays dead in comics except for Uncle Ben and Bucky. Alright, no one stays dead in comics except for
Uncle Ben. Bucky has unceremoniously died once already and there is less than a
zero chance it will happen again. Not only is his character far too
important for the future of the MCU, Sebastian Stan is a hell of an actor.
Granted I'm biased because, as I've mentioned more than one time on this
channel, the Winter Soldier is my favorite movie.
Let's not let that play a role here. If you've seen Black Panther you know that
he's returned from his hibernation healed up from ready to go. Further to that,
Entertainment Weekly has released a new magazine cover confirming that he will
be going by his new name the White Wolf. Yeah this is a step down in the name
category but that cannot force me to downplay his importance moving forward.
Bucky will become Captain America and I suspect that it'll happen sooner than
later.
Of course the big bad guy that the movies have been building up for will
survive the first Avengers Infinity War. Thus far, Marvel has divided the outcome
of it villains quite nicely. Red Skull - not dead but pulled out of reality. Iron
Monger - dead. Loki - alive and well. Alexander Pierce -
dead. Ronan The Accuser - dead. Yellowjacket - alive and well.
Ultron - alive? Malekith - we won't even talk about him. The Grandmaster - alive and well.
Killmonger - dead. Vulture - alive and well. Kaecilius - alive and, well, not so well.
Thanos, for all his power will make it through at least this movie. He kind of
has to. He's a little integral to Avengers Infinity War Part 2.
Fans around the world rejoiced when it was announced that Spider-Man would be joining his Marvel
brethren in their Universe. In fact, I can't confirm this but I've heard at the
same moment a collect the volume of pee could be found streaming down the legs
of all the Marvel executives after the announcement of Spider-Man rejoining
them. There is absolutely no chance and I repeat no chance the Spider-Man doesn't
make it to Part 2. I say this even though he has been clearly shown being
curb-stomped by Thanos in the trailer. Spider-Man will become the remedy that
Marvel needs should Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth walk
away at the conclusion of Infinity War. Spider-Man has star power and Kevin
Feige knows this. If he didn't, he wouldn't have been so quick to give him
a sequel in 2019. Rest assured, if you were worried that Spider-Man would bite
the proverbial bullet. He won't.
The Doctor Strange movie, while visually fantastic left me a little
underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, Benedict Cumberbatch is the only choice
for the character and Tilda Swinton's Ancient One is one of my favorite
characters in the MCU but it's everything else about the movie. I walked
away from Doctor Strange in the same manner that I walked away from Black
Panther feeling. Good movie. Good acting. Over reliance on a CGI and computer
technology. It was enough to keep me the first and second times but now if it was
brought up as a movie to watch, I'd find myself wanting to take a two hour nap.
With the recent news that Marvel has added a number of new movies to their
slate, I can't help but think Doctor Strange 2 will be one of them. It has to
be. Or at least it does if Marvel is to fall its tradition. Each movie that
they've released to date has had at least one shot of the sequel. For Dr.
Strange to get his he must survive and he will.
Kleenex wouldn't be able to keep up with production if Black Widow and her red hair, yellow hair, curly hair,
straight hair, long hair or short hair was killed off in Infinity War. Not only
has she been around just as long as most tenured characters, the world's been
clamoring for her solo movie for nearly a decade. We want a Black Widow movie. We
want to know about the blood on her ledger, her connection to the Winter
Soldier, what the Red Room is, and what it is about a large green object that she
finds so fascinating. Like Doctor Strange, with more Marvel movies coming out than
I can count on my two hands, Black Widow is undoubtedly set to receive her own or
at least she should. Black Widow will survive. She has to. Think about who can
often be seen at her side...the most noble and self-sacrificing character in the
MCU, Captain America. And if he should fail, her comic book love interest Bucky
Barnes will surely succeed.
In my mind the Incredible Hulk has always been a little bit of a conundrum.
What is the studio to do with a character that actually doesn't need
teammates, can single-handedly turn the tide for whichever side he's on, and was
purposely cast out to space because he would have provided his team with an
easy win in Civil War? That's the problem with the Incredible Hulk. If I were
writing the script, which I can promise you I'm not because Marvel hasn't called...
yet, I would do everything in my power to kill off this character. For all the
reasons that I've mentioned, he's a blemish on what they can do moving
forward. He's the exact problem that DC has with Superman in their movies. He's
simply too powerful. Sure there will most certainly be a movie stealing scene
involving him and Thanos but at the end of the day this will be overlapped by
the question we all will ask..."If the Hulk is nearly indestructible why didn't he
just stop the *** out of Thanos and call it a day?" He will live to see
Avengers Infinity War Part 2.
Ahh Vision. Everyone's favorite Android. My friend Vision, you will look to have died during Infinity War. You will be the rallying
point that the Black Panther could have been. You will be the reason that Tony
Stark and Steve Rogers put their playground-like dislike for one another
aside and band together for the greater good. Vision, you will be the reason that
Scarlet Witch internally explodes and finally shows what she's capable of. And
you will be the reason that the team survives and lives to fight another day.
And then in your ultimate moment of glorified sacrifice you will return but
you won't return the same. Like a well-trained athlete, you will return
stronger than ever in Avengers Infinity War Part 2. Yeah, I know I promised at
least one character would die in Infinity War never to return but
remember this...no one stays dead in comics except for Uncle Ben. Actually you
know what? There. That's your character. Uncle Ben
will not be in Avengers Infinity War Part 2. Mark my words. And there you go.
