That part still breaks me. And then someone pointed out that he has his Spidey sense, which means that he could sense it was going to happen to him before it did! 😭
FWIW it has a lot more to do with his Spidey Sense overwhelming him with his own impending demise and an active galactic mass extinction event, and less to do with him being an "actual child". Be impressed that he was able to form a sentence instead of just screaming or weeping.
*Ashleigh after watching **_Infinity War_** :* "WHERE DID THEY GO?!" *Everyone in the comments section:* They have passed on! These people are NO MORE! They have ceased to be! They've expired and gone to meet their maker. They are stiffs! Bereft of life! They rest in peace! If Thanos didn't gather the Infinity Stones, and snapped his finger, they wouldn't be pushing up daisies! They're off the twig! They've kicked the bucket! They've shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bloody choir invisible. THESE ARE EX-PEOPLE! *Ashleigh:* "Well, better replace them, then."
Well, I have a lot of experience telling patients bad news, so let me break it to her gently. Ashley, the people are gone! Gone are they. The people are gone from the universe! Where they are, I can't say, but in the universe, they're not!
all i can say is, sometimes people put too much effort into making sure they are reacting hard enough and being entertaining and not enough time paying attention to what is happening in the movie
They're disintegrating because Thanos wanted to use the Infinity Stones to grant his wish of randomly wiping out half of all life in the universe. So there isn't really a reason to why some disintegrated and some didn't - it was random by design to be "fair". And yeah they were snuffed out of existence.
@@awkwardashleigh You really missed the whole point of the movie🤦 Yes, Thanos is a mad man but he isn’t necessarily evil. He is an extremist. He saw that his planet was falling due to overpopulation but no one listened to him. He wanted to reduce the population of the universe by half that overpopulation wouldn’t happen again anywhere. He didn’t destroy Gamora’s planet, he killed only half so the other could thrive. By using the infinity stones was way faster than conquering worlds and killing half of the population.
@@NecropsY1 Oh, so you know then that they aren't dead. Her wondering what happened is actually more astute than the assumption that all these people died.
She apparently forgot the whole "snap of his fingers he can destroy HALF the universe" thing. It was just half the population at random. The snap is one of the most legendary moments in all super hero films.
It's one of the most legendary moments in Marvel comics history, too. Maybe not as much as the deaths of Gwen Stacy or Phoenix, but definitely up there. Comic readers' biggest fear for this film was probably that Disney might not dare go there, but we shouldn't have doubted Feige.
One of the things that made Thanos a force to be reckoned is, he keeps his word and never lies and in this case kept it. removed 50% of living population randomly in the universe. I find it funny how the villain repeatedly says their intended goal and reactors miss this. It's not like they are lying, especially thanos.
Opening weekend at a huge packed theater full of fans dressed as their favorite Avengers. As we all walked out you could hear a pin drop. It was like a funeral march out to the parking lot. Never experienced anything like it.
A possible comparison the end of LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. A child of a friend asked "where's the rest of the story?" He was told "the next movie", he said "let's wait" and sat down.
The half of everyone that disappeared were random and I don't think Thanos chose anyone in particular to spare aside from Tony to honor his arrangement with Doc Strange.
@@johnsensebe3153 Knowing Thanos, he didn't. After the snap he doesn't care, Thanos at this point doesn't care about himself, he cares about the survival of the universe which at the rate of expansion it was at would died out due to lack of resources.
@@pippin1991 I think you misunderstood me. Thanos probably gave himself a 50% chance to live, just like everyone else, because in his warped mind, that was fair.
In hind sight, sparing Ironman was a huge mistake. Just like when Ash said "when you got the bad guy down, take them out", this too applies. If you killed the bad guy when you had the chance, think of all the lives you could have saved. Same with this, if Ironman didnt survive, those that know what happens next knows it wouldnt .
"I'm going to wipe out half the life in the universe randomly for better resource manegement since too many people will bring ruin just like it happened in my planet" -Thanos... said about 7 times in this movie alone.
Ashleigh: "WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!" It means that it is random. He even says to Strange, "But random, dispassionate. Fair to rich and poor alike." This movie is such a roller coaster of emotion, even for those who jump in at this point. These movies are so good! My wife, once asked why there are so many movies and I told her, it's because there is an overlying arc that starts all the way back in Iron Man and now, it all comes together here. Thank you John for getting Ashleigh into these movies, your a gentleman and a scholar. Next movie: Ant-Man and the Wasp!!!
Everybody was trying to find some meaning in it after it came out. Especially since all the OG Avengers weren't blipped. I thought maybe they were taken to an alternate dimension, and somehow Strange might find a way to get back.
HOENSTLY. not to be like dramatic or anything. PERSONALLY - I have to find meaning and reason to everything. so for me to watch Ball Sack chin just off half of everyone and claim it "fair" because it was random really upset me. I HAVE TO HAVE REASON. and I see now - that there is none for Thanos. but I STILL WANT THE DOTS TO CONNECT
@@awkwardashleigh I get that. From what I remember, he knew that the universe had finite resources and if life was left unchecked, it would cease to exist. So, in his own way, he is doing the universe a service. It was like he td Gamora about her home planet, "Children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies." But, his way of thinking is in fact a double edged sword. If this happened to you, more than likely, you would spend more time trying to rebuild, thus expending more resources. He thinks he is saving the universe, but in fact, he is slowly wiping it out and calling it mercy.
@Ashleigh Burton he believed that if you erased half of life, the other half would not starve or run out of resources because his planet Titan was destroyed due to overpopulation
@@awkwardashleigh Destroying half of life frees up resources for the other half. But who would get to choose who lives and who dies? Thanos takes away that choice by making it completely random. In his mind he's saving 50% of the universe in the most dispassionate way he can
Vision: “Wanda, if he gets the stones half the universe dies!” Thanos: Gets the stones, and people start disappearing. Ashleigh: “What’s happening???” 😂
In fairness, she might've been expecting people to just keel over dead on the ground, rather than a disintegration effect that could be misconstrued as some kind of teleportation.
Exactly... thank you. The movie went to great lengths to explain how the Snap would work so that the scene at the end could be emotionally impactful...
Omg the disrespect calm down. She pays way more attention to the movies than some reactors. I've watched most of the Moon Knight reactions so I've heard *a lot* of not-paid-attention comments. This one wasn't that bad.
@@Galaxia7 she made me realize how dumb reaction videos are and I feel like I wasted months of my life watching them. She is so bad at reacting it opened up my eyes and made me see the light. Reaction videos serve no purpose and you learn nothing from watching them. This is coming from someone that was subscribed to a LOT of reaction channels. Do yourself a favor and quit watching these videos like a bad habit.
It was said that he would randomly eliminate half of all life in the universe dozens of times. Over and over. He even said " with a snap of my fingers " Ashleigh: " What's happening? Where did they go? What did they have in common? "
I love Ashleigh's reactions, but she's usually quicker on the uptake than this. Not sure how she missed the times they said Thanos' goal was to eliminate half the universe - it was over and over. It was the entire point. Oh well.
Yeah, that's not an actual spoiler. Thanos was trying to "fix" the universe by randomly eliminating half of everybody in it. With the reality stone added to the power of the others, the snap just made it so they didn't exist. As for what happens next, the next two movies set up the means to the heroes' response (involving one already-met character who was absent for all of this, and one you haven't seen yet whose symbol was on Nick Fury's pager at the end).
To be fair to Ash at the time of filming this she had a TON on her plate. Just moving is stressful enough. I couldn't imagine trying to concentrate on a movie with all those worries in the back of my head.
Vin Diesel 100% recorded every single different variation of “I am Groot” - and he even did it in like a dozen languages for the distribution around the world. Dude put in hours in the recording studio.
@@protusmose4469 I can't remember what podcast I was listening to, but they played him doing that a bunch of times and it was just hilarious. I mean, good on him for being that committed. But man, there was something a little funny listening to him do it over and over and over.
You didn't understand Thanos motives at all. He did not want to rule. He noticed, that on every planet there aren't enough resources to sustain the complete population. So he collected the stones to kill half of the population so there are enough resources. The deaths are random, that's why some people disintegrate, while others don't. But in the end the population of the entire Universe is halved.
wasn't really about "the complete population" as much as eventually species simply become overpopulated if they aren't culled. For animals, this isn't really a problem because when food runs out the population is suppressed as a result and the numbers find a natural balance. What always bugged me with Thanos' logic here is that starvation IS a natural balance, one he couldn't accept as simple reality of finite existence. It's what happened with his own planet. He's just such an egomaniac that he thinks only HE can do the culling rather than nature working this out naturally (as it does for all things)
@@MST3Killa Another problem with Thanos' plan is how fast a population can grow... Earth's population has doubled only within the last 40 or so years, so could take us one generation to get back to where we were.
@@alftuvik3820 Even in the comics his plan is weak, but it makes way more sense because he's truly mad and he made tons of mistakes. Beyond that, he was being manipulated by those around him. The MCU, though, made him a general with a cold, but calculated plan. Which, btw, included destroying the stones, so as you say, within short order his whole plan is undone and now he has no way of stopping it because he busted the only way he could think to accomplish his goal.
As many times as they explained Thanos' plan in the film before the end, it perplexes me how many reactors don't get what is going on at the end of the film when people start fading away.
She was too busy "reacting" to truly follow the story. Yes it is annoying, but it's entertaining for us. It is however unfortunate that she's missing some great story-telling.
The reason Peter Parker reacted so strongly wasn't because he's "a kid", it's because his Spidey Sense made him hyper aware of his own impending demise, as well as feeling the effects of a galactic level extinction event. It's impressive that he held it together enough to speak instead of just screaming or weeping.
And the fact that they told Tom Holland basically “this is what’s gonna happen, this is what you’re feeling, now react“ and that’s what he gave, is incredible.
And think about the fact that his Spider Sense warns him of danger in order to direct him in ways to avoid it. Like to duck left to avoid a bullet. But here, there being no way to avoid it, so it's going off without the usual input of how to escape it as there is none.
Vin Diesel actually worked his ass off on this roll, not only is it him everytime... but he also learned how to say it in every language the movie was being released in.
Fun fact: Vin Diesel also did all the foreign language lines for Groot, so he learned how to say "I am Groot" in a dozen different languages. Dude is actually really dedicated to the role, so he probably did actually say each pronunciation of the lines.
Can Marvel by extension Disney get some credit for Doing it the right way, Letting the actor act(even if it is three words), rather then "save money" as they usually do by recording a few snippets of the phrase and using tech to do the heavy lifting?
There were two main types of reactions when people saw this in theaters. People who hadn't read the comics were freaking out. People who had read the comics were like "wow, they actually did it."
@@J4ME5_ I disagree. His reasoning in the comic arc made sense because of who he was and how he was defined in the story. I personally don't mind how they twisted him for these movies but I will say his reasoning was really weak or he was an idiot. He had all the stones and he could have just doubled the resources and call it a day while being everyone's hero. Saying that half the universe had to go because of the amount of resources is dumb when he could have just increased the resources so there was plenty for both halves. They should have made him more "evil".
Like half the audience was crying and the other half in stunned silence. It was crazy. Nobody expected them to actually end the movie with the Avengers losing. And then we had to wait what seemed like forever for Endgame!
I'm sad that you only get to see this movie for the first time once, and you misunderstood why people were turning to ash. You don't get this moment back. It's a sadness I'll never forget. What a wonderful thing when fiction can draw out real lasting feeling. I wish you could try it again. I wish.
We experience it again by seeing it with other people. I saw it six times in theaters with different people who hadn't seen it yet. And "saw" it again with her.
That's literally why I love watching movies with Ashleigh. She's never seen them and her reactions are always so close to how I felt when I first watched it.... and she also happens to be such a charming host. I will answer her invitation to hang and watch movies every time!
I'm genuinely concerned how someone can watch this entire movie and not atleast have SOME understanding of the end. They say it over and over. Even with Gamoras planet and Titan, she kept misunderstanding what was going in. It wasn't "kill everyone, destroyed planet" . It was kill half to save the planet (in his eyes).
@@Alicatie there have been times that marvel has come up multiple times a month. I would expect it in January unless they only choose one marvel movie for jingle beans (funny enough the time period is perfect time for one of marvel's tv shows but we sadly can't get to that until well after). Heck, they could skip it the entirety of jingle beans and just do three movies in january. I don't think it lasts until february.
@@scottb3034 My last comment was meant as a joke, but now that i've worked it out: Jan=Spiderman2 Feb= Wandavision part1 (I'm going to hope/assume she does 3 episodes per video) Mar=WV2 Apr=WV3 May=Black widow june- Falcon/WS1 July= F/WS2 Aug= Shang-Chi Sept- Loki1 Oct= Loki2 Nov= Eternals Dec= Hawkeye1 **Edit: I just realized I left out the remainder of Phase 3, which puts me 3 months off. Too lazy to re-type it out, but Hawkeye won't even be on the slate until Mar 2024, unless we can bully her into watching the TV shows in a single month per series.
As I'm sure many have pointed out Peter's spidey sense is the reason he's dusting was slower than everyone else's. But I rarely see anyone mention Mantis alerting something is wrong. Because her powers as an empath allowed her to feel the distress of both those who were dusting away and those who are watching their friends and loved ones and even strangers the way. Oh, and Miley was Thor's sister in-law not his wife.
@@tanczosfanni He didn't have a choice. They didn't tell him what was going on in that scene because he spoils everything lol. All he got were some directions and notes; had no idea his character died.
The most frustrating watch ever! Why? They explained “why” the entire movie. Thanos monologued his plan on Titan. Half of all beings. Randomly. Gamora explained it. Nebula explained it. Vision explained it. It’s literally why everyone was trying to stop him from getting all of the stones!!
Yall mad embarassing, it's her OWN reaction, how are ya'll telling her what she's suppose to react or feel🥴 yall act this way when you watch movies with your friends then y'all must be annoying to be with
So one thing I learned is what Groot said before he disappeared in English translates to "Dad?" Also so of the group of random people not snapped it leaves the og group of Avengers (Hawkeye, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, Hulk) + Rhody, Rocket and Nebula, The reason Hulk doesn't come out is he is tired of fighting Bruce's fights for him, "Because of you" no they were not handling the planet's resources properly and he warned them and they didn’t listen. The disappeared people are in the soul stone aware of their vanishing.
The silence in theaters when this movie ended was impressive, nobody could believe the Avengers just lost, and a huge loss as it is. Can't wait for you to watch Endgame, you're gonna love it.
Miley Cyrus didn't date Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor. She dated his little brother, Liam. Next, Thanos doesn't lie, so if he makes a deal, he will always stick to it. And I'm surprised you missed the explanation of what would happen if Thanos snapped his fingers. All of the avengers who disappeared are dead! It was explained MULTIPLE times. That he could wipe out half of the population with the snap of his fingers. Not only did Gamora explain this, but so did Banner, and then Thanos himself took so much time laying this out to Doctor Strange when they met on Titan. He talked about how overpopulation was a problem and that by wiping out half of the population indiscriminately, with no preference given to the rich or poor, that it was the fairest solution.
Without giving anything away from the next movie. It's almost 50/50 with the snap, Strange gave up the time stone in exchange for thanos keeping Tony alive. Tony being saved from the snap is important in the next film
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do so many people think Strange's deal was to save Tony from the Snap? Thanos was about to *PHYSICALLY, PERSONALLY, WITH HIS OWN TWO HANDS* kill Tony, which is what Strange prevented by giving up the stone. *THAT* was the deal. Strange knew that Tony wouldn't get snapped, so he only had to keep him from getting killed by Thanos.
Honestly, the biggest shocker for me wasn't a massive blockbuster movie where the villain wins, it's that Chadwick Boseman did this, Endgame, AND his bits in What If(...?) while dying from cancer.
Those that got ‘snapped’ were all random. Thanos wanted to reduce the population without discrimination. The entire cinema screening I was at sat in traumatised silence for the credits. Even walking out, no one was talking. I have never felt so deflated leaving a movie.
@@thomast8539 Look at what the pandemic did for the planet. No one could go outside, and Earth actually started healing itself. And rather quickly. While not exactly ideal, removing half of the population would be INCREDIBLY beneficial to our prosperity and survival.
"The Earth started healing itself" LOLOL By the way, Thanos could have done the same thing by using the stones to make half the universe infertile. Same result, nobody dies.
I remember seeing this in the theatre and leaving so distraught. AND, knowing I had to wait a YEAR to see the resolution! Ugh… one of the best movie experiences I’ve ever had.
I didn't think Endgame was quite up to the level of this movie, but I will say that after seeing this one and having to wait a year to see what happens next, I've never been more hyped for a movie in my life. And I'm old enough that I saw the original Star Wars movies in the theater.
Girl, I feel you. The Wanda and Vision scene always gets me. The acting is phenomenal and Wanda is so powerful, able to hold a five Infinity Stone having Thanos back with one hand, while destroying the sixth stone that’s in the head of the man she loves with the other, and all as she has an emotional breakdown. ❤
“What does it mean?” They said Thanos wanted to destroy half of all life in the entire universe. They also said that he wanted it to be random, so there was no intent for killing anyone.
@@awkwardashleigh because tanos' planet was over populated and destroyed itself because of it. Tanos thought if he could wipe half the universe it would prosper because population didn't outnumber resources. Sort of like earth, in a few decades (2048) there will be no more fish in the oceans.
@@creaturecore13 Overfishing is indeed a problem, but that prediction comes from a 2006 study that has been both widely contested by experts as poorly researched AND widely exaggerated by media for clickbait headlines, as the actual claim from that study is that by 2048 fish populations will be reduced to a point that they won't be able to be used as a food source, not that they will be entirely extinguished.
For every other MCU movie people walked about and were excitedly talking and saying things "that was so cool when...". But on this one? It was just quiet. No one was talking to each other, no banter... just people shuffling out in stunned silence.
Yepp, and I remember when we walked by the queue of people waiting for their turn and they looked at us and started talking "Look at them, Oh my god, this will be bad."
For me, when I was in the theaters, I realized just as the Snapture happened that "OMG...this is THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK all over again." I was an infant when that movie came out so to have a second chance to experience the same thing was actually delightful. I could sense that it was building to that I was just amazed that they actually pulled it off. So INFINITY WAR is the ESB of this century. And this time, we have recordings of the experience to relive years later.
When The Snap happened, it was such a shocked silence in the cinema I saw it in, as the horror of what just happened sunk in, apart from one moment; there was a very visceral reaction when T'Chala disintegrated, a proper horrified "NO!" from quite a few people, as it was only a couple of months since Black Panther, and seeing that happen to a new icon was rough. It's still one of the bravest endings to a superhero movie ever, just showing the villain win. Oh, and as for what little symbol in the end credits scene was, in a couple of movies, you'll get an answer!
And then the screen goes black and half the theater says, "WHAT??!!" I hope Ashleigh can appreciate the fact that she can just pop in Endgame and see how it all plays out while the rest of us had to wait *AN ENTIRE YEAR!*
Vision: Wanda, if you don't destroy the stone, half of all life will die. Ashleigh: Exactly! That's what I'm saying! Also Ashleigh: What? I don't understand! Why are all these people dying?! Guuuurl! We were in denial too!😫
@@awkwardashleigh He also had a special script only he got to see that told him what Groot's lines were in English so he could emote them properly in Groot.
Ash not knowing what happened after the snap.... like have you not been listening the whole time? He will snap away half the universe at pure random. Wong explains it, Gamora explains it, Thanos himself explains it... then you witness it and you don't know what happened? Girl you need to pay attention to plot and not just action.
Lol, us old fans of the comics knew what was coming, but seeing how other people react to this story is priceless. I've never seen a theater so stunned after a movie, and remember, we had to wait an entire YEAR for Endgame. Keep up the good work Ashleigh. We appreciate you
Seriously, this was almost like watching people react to the red wedding as a book reader. 🤣 People must have thought comic readers were psychopaths, seeing our grins after watching _this..._ (seriously, though, I at least, and I'm sure I wasn't alone, was afraid Disney wouldn't dare do the snap; it was a _massive_ weight off my shoulders when they did).
@@presencerocks2224 The story isn't the same, but you've got Thanos, you've got the Infinity Gauntlet, and it's called Infinity War... the snap _had_ to happen (even if it happens for completely different reasons; MCU Thanos has a much better reason than comics Thanos). If it hadn't a lot of fans would've been very disappointed.
@@mbpoblet Yeah, especially with a second film that we already knew was part of this storyline. All the comic fans had a rough idea of the story path, even if the details were changed. Plus anyone who'd seen the earlier Comic-Con panel when these two films were announced as "Infinity War Part 1 & 2".
If I remember correctly, that's something that Tom Holland came up with on-set, and the Russos liked the idea enough to put it in. Plus, his enhanced strength allowed him to keep it together for longer than the others.
@@awkwardashleigh That was something I realized after multiple viewings and I told my friend, "OH! Everyone was saying, a little critically, that they lingered on Peter and Tony to make it more heartfelt for the audience, but no, the reason why his dusting lasted for longer was that he felt it coming beforehand, but couldn't do anything to avoid it, like his spider-sense is supposed to allow him to do!" I thought, after multiple viewings of the movies that they did an awesome job of showing his spider-sense without telling you that's what it is. In every movie he's in, there are instances where he uses it automatically, but they don't bring attention to it. Mostly with him dodging things that he's not directly looking at or some other thing like that. I remember hearing people, even after this movie with the hairs standing up on his arm at the beginning of this movie showing it, saying "Oh, I guess this Spider-Man doesn't have a spider-sense," and I'm thinking, "Look...closer..." 😁
Actually if nobody has said this they wanted Vin Diesel to only record a few lines but he specifically chose to do all of Groots lines individually and be given a script of what Groot is supposed to be saying so he could say it in a tone that fit what he was saying.
The really saddest things were Wanda's sacrifice, Spider-Man, and Groot. Wanda because she had to experience her partner dying *twice*. Spider-Man because his spider sense was going absolutely crazy when he was being snapped out of existence. He felt every cell in his body being unmade. And Groot had said "Dad," to Rocket before he dusted.
Wanda's was the absolute worst. She had to kill the man she loved, and it was for nothing because Thanos brought him right back to life to kill him againright in front of her. I mean, my god.
Peter's Spidey sense wasn't the only thing going nuts, his enhanced healing was trying to fight the dusting, so he was feeling it even longer than anyone else did.
@@dustyb58 I'm pretty sure Dr Strange made the events play out in the only exact way that would give them victory. Which includes making Thanos promise to spare Tony Stark. If he did anything else Thanos would've won.
it would have been a colossal dick move to spare Tony just then to get a stone, only to *snap* him to dust ~10 minutes later..and alas he is an ethical mass murderer. Or, even if done "by the book", Tony would've had a 50/50 chance...but lets be real, certain key players had plot armor tipping the coin toss their way. like all 6 of the original Avengers make it through?...ok not exactly astronomical odds but c'mon.
@@BarkusWolfinstein There is nothing to indicate that Thanos sparing Tony meant anything than sparing him in that very moment on Titan in exchange for the stone. The Snap was still going to be 50/50 random and "fair", I wouldn't be surprised if Thanos didn't even exempt _himself_ from being randomly selected, let alone Tony. Strange of course could foresee that Tony wouldn't get snapped, so he only had to keep Tony from getting killed by Thanos personally.
@@szeddezs There's nothing to indicate that he didn't exempt himself. There's more indication that he would spare Tony Stark, since he actually makes the deal on screen. Thanos clearly didn't get snapped. He spared himself just as he spared Ironman.
Lol… how did she not realize the entire plot of this movie was Thanos getting the stones to kill half of all life!!! I mean, really?! What a disappointing reaction…
Great reaction up to the end. Over and over they say if he wins HALF of all life in the universe DIES, yet she's still "What? What? I don't understand!" It's the major point of the entire arc, and she somehow is oblivious. Disappointing.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 real question.. Generally speaking "ALL" the women feel the need to defend Ashleigh. Why?? What is it you all are hearing outside of the words disappointing or frustrating? Nobody is claiming she did anything wrong. We are saying: It's a disappointing/frustrating FACT that she missed the whole point of Thanos' motivation. It's kind of the central plot to the Infinity Saga.
I think the ending to this is so shocking that it’s hard to be emotional about it in that way. That said, no way those tear ducts survive the ending of Endgame.
I can't believe there are pages of people complaining that "Ashleigh didn't get it". No, what I'm reading is a lot of people who "didn't get it". What was her reaction? Denial, anger, bargaining (trying to find reason for things), depression... Those are stages of grief. Internally she did know that half the universe just died, even if she couldn't bring herself to admit it. (That was denial.) To quote Hudson from Aliens: "This ain't happening' man... this ain't happening!" On a meta level, she doesn't "get" how you can make a movie where the villain wins, it ends with mass genocide, with no obvious way of fixing it. After all the reality tricks and illusions and time rewinds that happened in this film, she was trying to rationalize a way that the ending didn't happen. The fact that she couldn't come up with a comforting answer shows that inside, she knew. Even singing that Cher song just led to more depression.
He's directly quoting David Tennant when he regenerated into Matt Smith. (Hey, while Doctor Who isn't part of the MCU, Marvel *did* publish a Doctor Who comic for at least a few years, so that's a legitimate connection of sorts; wouldn't surprise me to learn that Peter is something of a Whovian.)
Did Ashleigh not listen to a single thing Thanos said? He literally said he was gonna kill half the universe. I don't know why she's confused by the ending.
Not only did Vin Diesel do his lines with all the inflection, but he did them for other languages as well. There are interviews with Ben where he talks about having to do in Spanish and French and Portuguese.
Still doesn't sound too difficult. I mean, they'll have a language coach in the studio with him who'll say "I am Groot" in French and Diesel repeats after him until it sounds good. Then he just repeats it with a bunch of different vocal inflections, Scared, angry, proudly, laughingly, happily etc. etc. Once you finish that, the language coach says it in.. Dutch or whatever and you repeat the process. At the end of the day you walk out with a check for more money than most people will make their entire lives. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it or hasn't earned it, only that it's a pretty sweet gig. I spent a summer doing hot tar roofing. The Groot gig sounds nicer.
@@TheNeonRabbitI guess he had trouble pronouncing the u in "Je suis Groot", because he ended up saying "Je s'appelle Groot" (I is called Groot), which is way more funny, specially when Steve replies to him by saying "Je s'appelle Steve Rogers".
Wow. Ashleigh often doesn't remember details from past movies (Star Wars was a hilarious level of forgotten things)... but damn, this was new levels of not paying fucking attention. Like seriously, Ash. They only said the plan was to randomly eliminate 50% of all life like 20 times.
No need to be a dick about it. The movie toasted many of her favorite characters.... she was kind of deep in her emotional cups. You are kind of a dick to give her shit over that.... Okay, she missed the plotline for the next movie because of her distress.... that doesn't give you license to be a snarky asshole.
Besides, they literally explain it it out loud many times in Endgame. Ash will get it, whether she is ready for it or not..... Plus, aren't we, as fans, all really trying to get her prepped for that one singular "YAAAARRRRRR" moment? I wanna see Ashleigh's "YAAAAARRRR" face!
I have to say this was the most surreal experience to see in the cinema, the whole crowd leaving at the end, just silent and shocked. In hindsight it was amazing but I remember being in the crowd leaving with all the other shocked people, me and my best friend just turning to one another going “what?!” quietly every now and again. Glad that you’ve finally seen it! Plenty of good stuff still to come!
Mrvel studios said over and over" they are dead. dead dead dead dead dead. stop hoping for a happy ending to this movie" they twisted that knife. ike goddammit, FEEL SAD already
My running joke when my friend Gail asks me how I liked a moving but don't give up any spoilers is to say "Everybody Dies" After watching Infinity War she asked and I couldn't bring myself to say it Gail's response was, OMG - EVERYBODY DIES
The Mind Stone calcuated the random chance (50/50), the reality stone did the disintegrating, the space and time stones made sure it happened to the entire universe at the same time, the soul stone took the souls, and the power stone fueled the entire thing. He killed Half of all life in the universe.
The most poignant...or one of my favorite things about this movie is that Loki tells Thanos he will never be a god in the beginning of the movie only for Steve to say "oh god" in response to Thanos' actions at the end. Thanos proved Loki wrong. Nice way to bookend the movie. Also glad you caught that Strange would know what he was doing regarding the outcome of all the 'disappearances', very rare to see someone catch that. The mid credits scene is a reference to the next movie in the Marvel lineup--also the guy Fury was telling Hill to contact was a character in Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron. (Also regarding Vin Diesel, he says his lines in all the dubbed languages that Avengers movies are distributed in. So it isn't a simple 20 minute, 3 line paycheck). Apart from a random character here and there most of the survivors comprised 5 of the original Avengers...that's about the only pattern to glean from the 'Grand Dusting'. We are getting back to the basics now. Can't wait until you get to Endgame...I have a strong feeling it will be your favorite when it is all said and done (and it is my personal favorite--I think it was better than this one by a mile)...gotta take a little detour to get there first though.
My understanding is directors actually tell him what Groot is saying and he just tries to bring that out in just those lines, but they never share them with the rest of us.
My favorite part of watching these is when Ashleigh tells the characters what to do and they listen. Always makes me laugh. And it's a credit to the storytellers.
And she gives Steve a pep-talk when he fails to stop Thanos " Good Job, Steve! You Did your best!" I believe 100% that her purity of heart is what's going to bring the Avengers back together!
The amount of times Thanos or someone else explained how Thanos was going to randomly wipe out half the universe and you're that clueless at the end? Sheesh.
When Thanos snapped his fingers it started randomly deleting half the population of the universe. Dr. Strange knew what actions to take to make sure the random deleting would not delete certain people for... reasons.
@@GDShenanigans Because the main source of income for reactors is Patreon where they offer full length watchalongs where you sync up your copy of the movie to them. So those people would have to pause and unpause with them which would be a pain in the ass to do and would take away a big reason for paying them (Patreon membership). Long story short... its about the cash. This is their job.
@@pencilnecked1579 you are not wrong, but having a reactor totally miss the point isn't a fulfilling experience either. Maybe she needs to get used to reading subtitles and not looking into the camera to make comments.
There are reactors who can talk over a movie while still watching and listening. Ashleigh is _NOT_ one of them. There are times where she stares into the camera for half a minute while cracking jokes and hollering, meanwhile the movie (and the plot) moves along without her. Oof yeah I'm done with this channel 🤣
"Tony Stark: Tell me his name again. Bruce Banner: Thanos. He’s a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population." "Gamora: The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal: To bring balance to the Universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre… Drax: Including my own. Gamora: If he gets all six Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers, like this. (she snaps her fingers)" "Thor: He stole the Space Stone from me when he destroyed my ship and slaughtered half my people." "Thanos: You’re quite the fighter, Gamora. Come. Let me help you. (THANOS takes her hand and leads her to a pavilion, where he produces a small red-jeweled dagger) Look. Pretty, isn’t it? Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. Too much to one side, or the other… Here. You try. Ebony Maw: Now go in peace, and meet your Maker. (One half of the crowd is shot down. They scream, and YOUNG GAMORA turns, but THANOS prevents her from seeing the massacre.)" "VISION: Only you, have the power to pay it. Thanos threatens half the Universe. " "Thanos: Going to bed hungry. scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I’m the one who stopped that. Do you know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It’s a paradise. Gamora: Because you murdered half the planet." "Gamora: He won’t stop. Until he destroys half the universe." Thanos snaps fingers with full Infinity Gauntlet (all stones). Half of the people on the Wakandan battlefield and Titan vanish. Ashleigh: I DON'T UNDERSTAND! ARE THEY DEAD? WHAT'S HAPPENED? WHY ARE ONLY SOME PEOPLE VANISHING? JFC, how many times did they need to explain it to you?
I assure you, Thanos is extremely proud of what he did. Not happy over the deaths of half of all of the living creatures in the universe, but absolutely confident that he did the right thing.
Thanos's whole thing is insisting he's 'fair' because who lives and dies is random. None of the people who died did so for any reason, just a coin flip. Whether that makes it more appalling or less, open to interpretation.
IMO it makes it less appalling simply because it was left to pure random chance with no favouritism or emotion coming into play, except for honouring his deal with Strange to spare Tony.
@@DavidGowers Unless it's specifically mentioned somewhere else and I missed, he only promissed to spare his life at the moment of the deal, not necessarily for the possible snap in the future. He was about to Kill Tony but Dr. Strange made an offer, that's it. There's no reason to think Thanos would alter his %50 random condition of his ultimate life goal for just that exchange with Dr. Strange. I see that only Tony surviving the snap in Titan is really convenient to make that connection but I highly doubt it's anything other than chance.
@@astragalusson "Spare his life and I will give you the stone." seems pretty straight forward, though, and considering that even though the victims of the snap are random that it's still Thanos killing them, so he held up his end of the deal to the end
I can't quite wrap my head around how you can watch ALL the Marvel movies - INCLUDING Infinity War - and not understand Thanos' goal... Bruce tells Tony, Gamora says it, Thanos mentions it himself to Strange... It's like HELLO?! To HALF the population of the universe - in RANDOM fashion... I swear wtf :P
Thanos killed half of the universe with the snap, but it wasn't completely random. Since Strange bargained for Tony's life, Thanos was all "fine, he lives and his Avenger pals live, but everyone close to them goes." So Thanos kills everyone on Titan, except Tony and Nebula. (He does sort of love her, after all.) And all of the original Avengers survive (well, we don't know about Hawkeye, but the five we saw here made it), but all the newbies (Falcon, Panther, Wanda, Bucky) go. Rhodey lives because he's never actually been an Avenger; he's Tony's pal, but he still works for the military. (Thanos doesn't know that Rhodey defied Secretary Ross, and might be getting court-martialed.) And then, aside from that, it's just random. Some Wakandans live, some don't. Rocket lives, Groot doesn't. Heimdall and Loki and Gamora and Vision are just plain dead. The Stones had nothing to do with it. Vision could only have been saved if the operation had worked; plain old ripping out the Stone (as Wanda and Thanos do) just kills him. And Miley Cyrus was married to LIAM Hemsworth, the brother from "The Hunger Games". Chris "Thor" Hemsworth is married to Elsa Pataky. (It was never going to work; it's been obvious that Miley prefers girls for a good long time. [I called her as "out and proud before she's 30" a decade ago.]. Pretty sure that Liam will find someone else, though.)
I don't get it that she missed the part of explaining of killing half of the life in the univere by a snap of his fingers. And thanos didnt want to rule something, he just identified the main problem every civilization will have and he searched for a solution. Overpopulation leads to destroying the environment and to war for ressources and he thinks he can solve it by eliminating half of life in the universe.
How did you miss them explaining what happens when Thanos snaps his fingers?! They explained it more than once! Half of the UNIVERSE just got snapped out of existence. It’s random.
The people who disappeared had nothing in common. Thanos wanted to eliminate half of all life and he did it... and it's "fair" because it was random. He's not even interested in ruling, just preserving life in the universe by ending half of it.
