The Geeks love Death Drafts. Having done one for last season’s Game of Thrones (and a Dream Team edition too!) the three podcasters and Jonathan (Jenny’s husband, but you knew that) decided to weigh in on who we thought would die in the latest Avengers movie. Here’s how it went down as we drafted even while Watson was flying to Asia. Let us know who you think will win!
ryan:I want to draft so badly.
Which is probably how I will draft. So that works.
watson: Roll for rank. Highest is first and so on. D100
/roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@watson rolled *11*
watson: There we go. And…fuck!
ryan: /roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@ryan rolled *94*
ryan: Yeah
JENNY!!!!!
I wanna kill some MCU characters!!
Ohhhh…bonus points if we say who kills the character??
Oh maybe not because we’ll all just say Thanos. Heh.
jenny: /roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@jenny rolled *55*
ryan: Okay the order is set. How many picks are we doing, Watson?
ryan: Roll for position, J!
So far we are:
1. Me 94
2. Jenny 55
3. Watson 11
jonathan: /roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@jonathan rolled *55*
jenny: Tied. God damn it.
We both roll again?
Or just him?
Roll for order?
We roll for 2nd and 3rd position. Watson is still last.
Roll again.
/roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@jenny rolled *1*
jenny: Fucking hell.
I hate you dice bot.
jonathan: /roll 1d100
Dicebot APP
@jonathan rolled *65*
jenny: Okay new order:
Ryan
Jonathan
Jenny
Watson
ryan: Hahaha
jenny: How many rounds and who is game to draft? (edited)
ryan: Okay. Snake draft. 5 picks each. Score will be 1 point for first death, 2 points for second death, etc. Named characters only.
jenny: What if three people get killed at the same time?
Named where? Imdb?
Or the poster?
Or wiki?
ryan: Named in a previous movie.
jenny: So no new prospects like Adam Warlock
ryan: Ties score the same. Two people die third are worth 3 each. Next death worth 5.
New characters with a name sure. Black Order, Warlock, etc. Yeah you can pick them.
jenny: But they haven’t been named in previous movies. (sorry to be complicated)
But I want to be clear.
So I can win.
ryan: As long as they have a name in the movies.
Random Wakandan #32 doesn’t count.
jenny: Okay. So have to appear in the movie, be named.
ryan: Because fuck that guy.
jenny: Hahaha
jonathan: HE’S A LOVELY MAN!
jenny: Correction, woman.
She was a lovely Dora Milaje
ryan: All Dora Milaje are named.
jenny: Okay, when do we do this? Because I need to make my list.
ryan: Tonight.
jenny: Right now?!
ryan: Once Watson gets on.
jenny: Omg I have no time to prepare!
ryan: YOU’VE HAD YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO PREPARE!!!
jenny: omg, I have sweaty pits now.
ryan: I NEEDS TO KILL SOME MCU CHARACTERS!!!
jenny: Kill them in your mind you fiery beast, you.
ryan: I’ve done that. But I need to kill them in YOUR mind, Jenny.
Bwahahahahaha
watson: On the plane with Wifi. Draft?
ryan: I can. jenny jonathan ??
jonathan: i’m open
ryan: Well let’s start. Gonna take a few days anyway probably.
The first pick is always tricky. Go bold or go safe. Because I’m playing you guys, that’s the same. So my first pic will of course be Captain America.
jonathan: I’m next?
I’m taking Loki
ryan: Good pick.
Think he dies saving Thor? I do.
watson: Jenny?
ryan: Jenny!!! Watson is on a plane and he’s more responsive!!! 🙂
jonathan: I apologize on my wife’s behalf. This behavior is unacceptable.
jenny: I have just finished work you assholes.
The Collector.
watson: I feel like the sports team that didn’t want the #1 pick and was mad when he slipped to them and feels they have to take him.
Tony Stark.
ryan: Two picks, Watson. What’s the second?
I mean, you already made the first bad pick, so please double up with another bad choice.
watson: Hawkeye.
I think he dies very early.
Shit. Now we wait for Jenny AGAIN!
jenny: Heimdal
jonathan: Nebula
watson: Ryan???
ryan: YES!!!! I am very pleased my pick was not taken.
GAMORA!!!
Totally biting it and Nebula takes her place.
For my second pick, I’m also surprised this one wasn’t taken already. Vision.
jonathan back on the clock!
watson: Vision was on my list. If he isn’t “functional” at the end, that counts as dead?
ryan: Yup.
watson: So far we have:
Ryan- Cap, Gamora, Vision
Jonathan- Loki, Nebula
Jenny- The Collector, Heimdal
Watson- Iron Man, Hawkeye
ryan: Everyone has points except Watson.
Oh, since a soul stone is in play, if someone dies but then comes back–points or no?
watson: They have to be dead at the end of the movie.
ryan: K.
Freeze frame scoring.
But if Person A dies (1 point) then Person B dies (2 points) and Person A comes back? No 1 point for Person A…is B still 2 points or down to 1?
watson: Huh?
No. We count the order at the end of the film. First person to die and stay dead is 1 point. Second is 2…
You and your overly complicated rules!!!
ryan: I am paid to think through details that prevent disputes from arising later in the process.
But I do it here for free.
My god you have awful picks Watson. You’re the guy in fantasy football who uses his first two picks on a Kicker and a backup Kicker.
watson: This movie doesn’t land if there aren’t big deaths.
ryan: Totally agree. But Hawkeye??
watson: I think them not putting him on the poster meant he had no future in the MCU.
ryan: Not everyone is on the poster though. Just a lot of people.
watson: People who weren’t members of the original team!
ryan: True.
I’m really wondering if Ant-Man and the Wasp takes place before IW. How in the world could it take place after??
jonathan: James “War Machine” Rhodes
ryan: Boo! That heart string was already played.
jonathan: Play it again, Sam
ryan: Sure, they turn him from a cripple to a hero again just to kill him?
jonathan: I’ve already established that i think NOBODY is dead at the end of this.
ryan: Yes which is why I question your participation in this draft in the first place!
jonathan: I’m hedging!
ryan: Coward!
watson: Jenny next?
jonathan: I’m picking based on the alternate version where Disney murders beloved characters
ryan: The Rogue One cut.
watson: So far we have:
Ryan- Cap, Gamora, Vision
Jonathan- Loki, Nebula, Iron Patriot/Rhodey
Jenny- The Collector, Heimdal
Watson- Iron Man, Hawkeye
jenny: Wong
watson: Mother fucking Wong? No way! Bad pick. Booooooo!!!!
My turn?
jenny: Yep. Eat it.
watson: Two. Picks. Ebony Maw.
Pepper Potts
jenny: Wanda
watson: So far we have:
Ryan- Cap, Gamora, Vision
Jonathan- Loki, Nebula, Iron Patriot/Rhodey
Jenny- The Collector, Heimdal, Wong, Scarlet Witch
Watson- Iron Man, Hawkeye, Ebony Maw, Pepper Potts
Jonathan!
jonathan: Drax
watson: Ryan! Last two picks!
ryan: Cull Obsidian.
And in a giant fuck you to Sony, Spider-Man.
jenny: That will NEVER happen.
watson: That was a BAD pick.
Worst pick of the draft.
jenny: Ryan might be drunk.
watson: Should have just picked Wonder Woman and be done with it.
ryan: Says the man with no points on the board.
jonathan: Proxima Midnight
ryan: You worry about your scorecard travelman
watson: I have all the points!
Jenny? Last pick!!!
jenny: Corvus Glaive
watson: I have two ideas. I am going with the ultimate fuck you to Ryan and go with Laura Barton.
There is NO REASON for Linda Cardellini to be in the cast except to die.
jenny: I think I have a solid draft. Eh fellas?!
watson: No. Your draft is shit, Jenny.
jenny: Haha, dude, your draft is shit.
Ryan and Jonathan agree.
watson: So far we have:
Ryan- Cap, Gamora, Vision, Chill Obsidian, (inexplicably) Spider-Man
Jonathan- Loki, Nebula, Iron Patriot/Rhodey, Drax, Proxima Midnight
Jenny- The Collector, Heimdal, Wong, Scarlet Witch, Corvus Glave
Watson- Iron Man, Hawkeye, Ebony Maw, Pepper Potts, Laura Barton (edited)
Don’t need group consensus. My picks are rock solid.
ryan: Watson wins most likely not to score.
In the draft too.
jenny: Your picks are trash.
Let me rephrase.
Watson, your picks are trash.
ryan: Yeah gives me shit on Spidey when he picked Iron Man in the FIRST ROUND!!
jenny: I fixed my statement.
jonathan: He’s got a point
watson: Why is Cap more likely than Iron Man?
ryan: Because Cap dies EVERY major event in marvel books.
That’s how everyone knows when a new big event is about to start. Oh is Cap back, cool new event.
jonathan: Sad but true
jenny: I hate to say it, cap was a solid pick
watson: This isn’t a shitty comic. Comics are shit. Just like Jenny’s picks.
jenny: So was nebula.
watson: Yeah…I would have picked him #1
jenny: Go ahead and lash out, it’s the only leverage you have Watson. You will earn nothing with your picks.
Hahaha
Mwaaahahahaha
watson: The minor villain selections, Chill, Corvus, and Maw, are the safest. Proxima.
jenny: Also, fuck Pepper.
I hate that character.
I kinda hope you get points for that.
watson: So she would be a good Death…
jenny: That’s how much I hate pepper.
watson: Hehehehe. It’s like the opposite of Brianne of Tarth.
jenny: Yeah, I’m rooting for that one.
ryan: Nebula is taking Gamora’s place. That’s why star-lord is so pissed in the preview. Because Gamora dies.
jenny: Ryan, that logic for Gamora is thin, even for you.
watson: I don’t think any of the major characters who still have an active franchise (GotG, Dr Strange, Ant-Man, Spider-Man) are in danger.
jenny: Same, but side pieces are out.
Bye Pepper.
watson: Yeah…let’s kill off one of our FEW strong female leads in Gamora…
jonathan: Who’s a famous action actress
ryan: Gamora is so toast. I’ll do a side coffee bet on just her Jenny.
watson: None of us picked Thanos.
jonathan: He’s in the cast listing for Avengers 4
watson: We are all 100% sure that the next Avengers is part 2!
ryan: All of the groups are going to have a death to avenge. That’s why they’ll all be Avengers by the end.
jenny: I really think Collector is a good pick. And Heimdal. I think I have a chance with Wanda (to protect Vision when the stone is removed), and Corvus Glaive in battle. Wong is my only hail Mary.
ryan: Collector is very good. Heimdall is 50/50.
watson: I don’t trust Cast listings. I’ll bet every one of these folks have a chance to show up!
jenny: So, if they die in this movie, it counts.
jonathan: If only you knew what i know…
watson: Corvus Glaive is your only good pick.
jenny: What if they come back in the final movie?
watson: End of THIS movie.
jenny: You are drunk Watson, go home.
Got it.
watson: Given the story of Infinity War, a lot of deaths could be reversed.
Infinity Gauntlet rather.
jonathan: If you want some pretty heavy spoilers, check out the set photos for Av4
jenny: This is why I have a chance with Wong
watson: Head fakes!!!!
Remember when Mark Hamill did “reshoots” at the studios in Cherrywood for Force Awakens.
jonathan: Oh no. It’s not who’s there but how they look.
ryan: You’ve heard about the time stone theory for Infinity War?
watson: Headfakes!!!!
jenny: Myeeeesh
watson: Did you guys read what Peter Dinklage said?
“Jenny’s picks are shit!”
jenny: Sigh.
ryan: “And she’ll still beat Watson by 3 points.”
jenny: Didn’t you both learn from our GoT draft, I always win…
watson: This game will likely be decided based on the order the minor villains die…
ryan: Watch my big Spidey points seal the deal.
watson: I think the Bartons die early. Ebony Maw dies at the end.
ryan: You think Thanos shows how bad ass he is by killing the two weakest MCU characters?
He killed the Burtons. HE CAN’T BE STOPPED!!!!!
watson: His monsters do it.
To establish the “the danger is real” thing.
ryan: Yeah. Because if the Burtons die we’re all in trouble. Or nobody but the Burtons were in trouble.
watson: I know you are calling the the wrong name just to piss me off. Weak strategy, Bryan!
jenny: Collector is definitely first, which doesn’t help me much, which is how Thanos gets 3 of the stones right off the bat
watson: I sent Phil the teams without our names and asked him to rank them.
jenny: And…..?
What did he say?
watson: Waiting.
He said “Jenny’s picks are shit!”
Just kidding.
jenny: Sigh.
ryan: Since we’re already predicting things for the movie, here are some more of mine.
1. Jenny will cry at least twice in the movie.
2. Jonathan will figure out the major events of the movie before it starts. He will tell Jenny. She will cry.
3. Despite being one-dimensional in motivation, Watson will come up with some bullshit reasoning why Thanos was a more interesting villain than Killmonger. Nobody will agree with him.
4. Tom will accuse everyone of nitpicking the movie. Then he will come up with the pickiest of nits as to why he didn’t think the movie was perfect.
5. By the time Jimmy sees the movie we will have said everything he wanted to say so he will just agree with everyone. Except he will want more Spidey.
jenny: OMG 100%
There is no debating that.
Solid picks.
watson: Except that Jenny also didn’t like Killmonger either.
ryan: Other prediction: Watson is even now trying to figure out how he can make my prediction about him not true while still refusing to admit that Killmonger rocked.
watson: She just folded to peer pressure.
jonathan: All of those predictions are RIDICULOUS
…ly spot on
watson: I’ve already seen more interesting material from Thanos in post-credit scenes than a whole Killmonger performance.
jenny: No, I took away my white female privilege and understood the character, unlike your cracker ass.
watson: Couldn’t take the teasing. Weak…
jenny: Whaaaat?! That was teasing!
OMG, where is Richard Pryor when you need him?
ryan: Dead.
watson: I went the other way. I only thought he was mediocre. Just to piss off Ryan and Jonathan, I started bagging on him.
ryan: Doesn’t piss me off. Makes me sad.
Are you still in the air Watson?
jenny: M’Baku is coming for you.
watson: For about 6 more hours.
M’Baku was a GREAT character.
ryan: Are you over Alaska?
watson: Russia
ryan: And you still have wifi? Damn.
watson: I expect to have it the whole flight. Why wouldn’t I?
ryan: When I flew to China our WiFi stopped when we left Alaska.
watson: For your anniversary?
ryan: No for Sara’s 40th.
watson: That’s right. I knew it was Sara related!!!
ryan:
I can’t wait for Watson’s jet lag to wear off and then he realizes who he picked. “Wait, I drafted THEM?!?!”
watson: Phil is going to rank in the morning but early evaluation was:
quick thoughts: great pick, Loki
Poor Gamora, dark Laura Barton
ryan: Are those individual picks or the teams?
His comments, I mean.
watson: Individual
Hasn’t sent his rankings yet
ryan: By the way, I think of all the people we didn’t name, the most likely to die is W’Kabi.
watson: I almost drafted him but feel like they wouldn’t want to kill a Black Panther character in someone else’s franchise.
Of course, they filmed this before they knew how important and popular BP would be.
watson: Phil ranked my team first, Ryan’s second (even with two of the worst picks), and the Newmans tied for last.
ryan: Ugh. I’m disgraced by his ranking of my team.
watson: Said you would have dominated it without the “cute” pick of Spidey.
I tend to agree. All the others could come true.
jonathan: Phil’s opinion is nonsense
ryan: I think his GoT dream team scored 0 points.
jenny: Phil is the epitome of nonsense.
Just you watch…. I shall win this death draft, like I have won them before – and Phill will have to bow to the glory that is JENNY NEWMAN INFINITY MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA
jonathan: you had a bunch of caffeine this afternoon, didn’t you?
ryan: She’s riding the post-training adrenaline wave.
jenny: ^Ryan knows me too well
ryan: And I *just* saw you
jenny: I was well behaved.
ryan: Your pupils were dilated. You did a good job controlling the shakes.
Either that or you were doing cocaine in the bathroom.
jenny: I’ve had practice.
How did you know?
j/k
Jonathan, I only had one coffee this morning, you’ll be safe when we get home.
watson: I need coffee. I haven’t slept more than two to three hours a night since I got here.
ryan: Your subconscious is punishing you for your draft picks.
“Oh, you think Iron Man is going to die with your first pick? Well let me kill off your sense of being well-rested you tool!”
jenny: hahaha – that’s what you get Watson for shitty picks
These rankings primarily assume that Thanos isn’t going to wipe out half the universe and have that undone by the end of the movie.
Also, as I understand it, the first person to die gives the Geek one point. The second person to die gives that person’s Geek two points, and so on. If I’ve misunderstood the scoring, I’ve botched this entire review. You should rightfully blame Watson should that be true.
Team 1:
Captain America: Strong Choice (4 points)
In the universe his power is less impressive as more and more powerful beings arise. His use as a symbol or tactician is more strongly emphasized in the comics. If you go Meta, the actors contracts are up. He’s seen in the trailer literally in death’s grip. I hate to say it, but Cap is likely to go and if so, he’ll go at the end of the movie as a rallying point for everyone else.
Gamora: (1 point)
This is the first actually stupid pick of the draft. But its not the worst. She’s the heart of the Guardians of the galaxy, she’s half of the running love story and there is no way they are killing her with a movie already scheduled. You picked the wrong sister.
Vision: Solid choice (3 points)
Thanos has to rip a gem out of his forehead. There would be significant emotion pulled from multiple characters. Scartlett Witch could go berserk, and vision has already had his world saving moment being the one true enemy of Ultron.
Cull Obsidian: (2 points)
Member of the black order and siblings to Gamora and Nebula. Each of the bad guys probably has an equal chance to die. He’s the big one, so he may be the best choice of the four to die because it could symbolize the turning point between the team being overwhelmed and finally getting a chance to win.
Spider-Man: (0 points)
Worst pick. Does this person even watch movies? Sony finally got a Spider-man that is young, funny, and carried his own movie in Homecoming; Sony would absolutely shit itself if Marvel suggested that.
Team 2:
Loki: Best pick of the draft – except for the whole score more if you die later thing.( 2 points but could be 5 points)
Not only is immediately in jeopardy because of the cut scene from Thor 3, but he is most likely to die more than once using his illusions to get himself out of trouble which in my mind means he scores multiple times. He’s the best overall pick to die first, but he’s not going to score high if he does. Then again he might die more than once. Although I doubt he’ll show up on Earth unless all the Asgardians settle there. Solid choice.
Nebula: (2 points)
If they decide to have a character or two die from each team or group or story line, Nebula is the most likely to die in a rage fit attacking Thanos. They set her up not to be a part of the Guardians even though she was invited, and she stormed off at the end of that movie saying that she wanted Thanos’ blood. If Loki isn’t the first character to die on screen, Nebula is a strong candidate for that honor.
Iron Patriot/Rhodey: (1 point)
Ah man! They already broke his back, does he have to get sacrificed again? I get the Iron Man side kick cannon fodder thought, but I don’t think they kill him after they broke his back. The better choice here would have been the unselected Falcon. Rhodey is on the tower looking up when Thanos arrives in New York, but that doesn’t suggest he’s in Jeopardy. Although, there’s a distinct lack of him in the Wakanda fight.
Drax: (1 point)
I don’t want to live in a Marvel universe without Drax. SO I have nothing else to say about that. See also Gamora.
Proxima Midnight: (2 points)
Anytime you carry a lance that can kill nearly anything and even hurt the Hulk, you run the risk of it being turned on you. There’s a strong chance she’s taking it like a shish-ka-bob.
Team 3:
The Collector: (2 points)
The Collector is one of the Elders of the universe and obviously we know he’s got to get robbed. So he seems a prime target for smashing, but the chances of killing him as a universe Elder versus a Titan seems slim. He also has the power of prophecy so he knows all about Thanos as a threat to the Elders. MCU has not established who the Elders are other than showing us a very brilliant Goldblum as the Grandmaster– who actually resurrects the Collector as some time, so it’s possible del Toro expires. Solid choice for story, possible choice for mythology.
Heimdal: (2 points)
Yep, hes gonna die. He probably will die in the first 5 minutes if Loki doesn’t go first. The actor is tired of playing the character and complained about that. The character would be a good emotional sacrifice and maybe the reason Thor is found floating in space later. Probably the #2 over all pick for certainty of doom, but won’t score high as he’s part of the introduction of Thanos.
Wong: (1 point)
Wong is only a candidate if Thanos attacks with magic first otherwise he is just a lookout. If they plot to take at least one character from each story line, Wong might go while trying to save Dr. Strange from that torture scene in the trailer, but his insignificance suggests otherwise.
Scarlett Witch: (1 point)
Certainly an Avenger or two have to die. But according to the mythology she is powerful enough to alter the universe. So unless Thanos kills half of the universe prior to Adam Warlock bringing everyone back, I don’t see this as the strong pick. Vision is the more likely of the two. She’s likely to go bonkers if Vision and Hawkeye go down and that may be the moment we learn how scary Scarlett Witch can be.
Corvus Glave: (2 points)
AKA the guy with the really sharp spear. His big thing is his spear cuts through almost anything and when he holds it he is invulnerable. So someone is going to knock the spear out of his hand and he’ll get the Ned Stark special.
Team 4:
Iron Man: (4 points)
Is Robert Downy Jr done? If yes, this pick out ranks Loki. If Iron Man dies he will die at the end of the movie as a final heroic kaboom or he dies just after the first hour to cement how much trouble the good guys are in in fighting Thanos. The real question is Iron Man vs Captain America, who gets the bigger moment? Did you see Iron Man in the Wakanda fight?Was that the HulkBuster with or without Tony in it? Just saying: LEGO accidentally confirmed that it’s Bruce Banner inside the Hulkbuster armor.

Hawkeye: (3 points)
He had his best moments in Ultron and he’s set up as the old man who pulls his punches in Civil War. Its possible he survives. Its probable he gets killed in the first half of the movie.
Ebony Maw: (3 points)
Maw is the best black order pick because if he dies it will be at Thanos’ hand in the middle of the second hour. In the trailer he is torturing Strange which is similar to what hes done in the comics. That being said at some point he will probably betray Thanos which makes him an excellent choice to die.
Pepper Potts: (1 point)
I didn’t know Pepper was in the movie until it was pointed out to me she was on the poster. (By Watson, which makes me think this is his team.) If Robert Downey Jr got her poster money, there’s a strong chance they will kill her to be done with her.
Laura Barton: (Nope)
Dark, dark, dark pick. If she dies, she dies as collateral to Thanos’ initial salvo to Earth. But theres no reason for Thanos to go messing around at the farm when the world’s premier country is Wakanda. There are no stones at the farm, theres no reason for Laura to be in the movie unless to tell Hawkeye he’s an old man and not to go fight.
Rankings are compiled by Awarding 1 point per pick likely to die. Another two points if likely a climax or major death near the end. A possible fourth point if it just seems destiny.
For instance, Cap and Iron Man are the top scoring, 4 points. Vision, Hawkeye, and Ebony Maw all scored 3 points. (Likely to die, mid movie or later in a “moment” scene.)
Rankings:
Team 4 scores 11 points. Most likely Watson with the Pepper Potts and Laura Barton picks. He’s also the first to pick a “bad guy” to die, which started the run.
Team 1 comes in surprisingly with 10 points. The Spidey pick was an absolute waste. Literally pick any character in Wakanda besides the King and you’re likely the top team! And the Gamora pick right after Nebula? Boo. Maybe Jenny here. I can’t see Ryan picking Spidey unless he’s counting on the Adam Warlock reset.
Team 2 scores an 8. Easy first two picks with Loki and Nebula, but completely uninspired choices after that. The Rhodey pick comes before any of the four main bad guys. No pick from Wakanda? Not Winter Soldier? No one from Thor 3? Anyone on Thor’s ship when we know Thor is floating in space? I get that Drax is the most expendable Guardian, and yes he’s going to “kill Thanos” but I just don’t see Marvel keeping him out of the next film. Ryan’s Team?
Team 3 scores an 8 as well. By front loading the first two picks as likely to die in the first five minutes, this team reaches for certainty at the expense of minutes. Again, any Wakanda hero would have scored higher in rounds 3 and 4. Mr. Jenny’s team.
Notable thoughts:
– No one took anyone from Wakanda. Are we honestly that enamored with Black Panther that we think they’re invulnerable?
– No choices from Thor 3 extended cast. Huh.. Do you think Thanos lets the ship go? Maybe Loki lives after Thor is thrown out in to space and buys their safety? What debris floating around Thor then?
– No one picked Nick Fury, or Agent Hill, or anyone from Shield or any agents mentioned at all. Do we think they’re obsolete? Who’s still watching that show? I bailed on them when the went to space, but now we’ve got a bad guy from outer space…. hmm….
– No one picked Winter Soldier. Smart. He’s got a nine movie contract and according to lore he takes over for Cap.
– No one picked Falcon. Smart. He still has movies on his contract and may be in Ant Man and the Wasp.
– No one picked Black Widow. WTF? She’s incredibly expensive now, and she’s got a one on one with a Thanos Lieutenant.
– No one picked Thor (who has his head in a vise in the trailer, who has finished his trilogy, and is found floating in space with the debris of possibly his whole planet surrounding him.)
Great fun! Look forward to seeing who wins, and which team belongs to which Geek!
After seeing the movie…
Spoilers below….
The first sentence sums up my thoughts, except I predict the “unsnap” Warlock Mulligan will happen with Iron Man time stoning it back to give Thor a head shot. Which would mean anyone dead before the great Queen rock song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE ) moment stays dead. Eep.
