When Nebula grabs the Infinity Gauntlet off Thanos, she uses the Gauntlet to turn back time she also restores herself to her original form. This (and later killing half of everyone) was all to impress Mistress Death, a cosmic but physical representation of death, that Thanos was in love with. That’s the particular item that is still in play for “Avengers 4,” since Nebula is one of the few main characters who survived Thanos’ purge.īefore deciding to kill half of everyone in the universe, Thanos tortured Nebula, leaving her in a burned-up state between life and death. And she uses the Gauntlet to turn back time 24 hours, to before Thanos killed half of everyone.Īlso Read: 'Avengers: Infinity War' Does Have One Big Gamora-Related Plot Hole She snags the gauntlet off Thanos’ unprotected body while his spirit is away, and becomes all-powerful herself.

In the comics, Nebula is Thanos’ granddaughter instead of his daughter, but she hates him and is pretty tortured all the same. But that temporarily leaves his body unprotected, and that’s when Nebula makes her move. In the end, though, Thanos isn’t beaten in a straight fight, but outsmarted - kind of.Īfter achieving his goals and wiping out his enemies, Thanos achieves a cosmic, higher plane of existence, becoming a sort of ethereal, astral version of himself with all his power. He pretty much murders all of them, including Tony Stark and Captain America. Instead, it’s all aftermath, with the battle against Thanos finding him wielding the Gauntlet and using it to kick the hell out of the Avengers and their buds. “The Infinity Gauntlet” doesn’t concern Thanos getting hold of the stones - he already has them. But it’s fun to talk about anyway, and there is one specific detail from the book that is definitely in play. We should stress again that this is a very loose adaptation - it’s not incredibly likely that “Avengers 4” will play out the way the “Infinity Gauntlet” story did. Much of “Infinity War” is very loosely adapted from “Infinity Gauntlet,” a six-issue “Avengers” run (with a bunch of tie-ins) from 1991 that starts with Thanos using the Gauntlet to wipe out half the universe, and the surviving heroes banding together (with a lot of them dying) in order to try to reverse the damage. We can look to the comics for some potential hints, of how this will play out. Fans all over the world are thinking to themselves, “Okay, how are the Avengers going to get out of this one?”Īlso Read: How Will 'Captain Marvel' Play Into That Wild 'Avengers: Infinity War' Ending?

Of course, this is a comic book movie, and superhero stories are not usually such mega-downers.

That includes a number of Avengers and other heroes, like most of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange. In the end, Thanos is successful: He gets all six Infinity Stones, puts them in the Infinity Gauntlet, snaps his fingers, and causes half the life in the universe to basically turn to dust. He works to gather all the all-powerful Infinity Stones, with the plan of wiping out half the universe to bring it balance: Basically, Thanos considers himself a cosmic gardner, and he needs to prune everything back a little so the whole garden doesn’t get overgrown and run out of resources. “Avengers: Infinity War” finally brings Thanos, the shadowy villain who’s been waiting in the wings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to the forefront to wreak some serious havoc.
