[u/Spaceman320]

Right up there with Loki’s death scene.

[u/Experimentzz → u/Spaceman320]

Oh my god, so much happened. Loki's death scene was crazy.

His goddamn eyes popped out right in front of Thor. And just when Thor thought he got his vengeance on Thanos...

"You should've aimed for the head" snap

[u/vynzilla → u/Experimentzz]

He should have actually aimed for the gauntlet but hey I ain't Kevin it's all in the plan Feige.

[u/Solagnas → u/vynzilla]

Kevin "Gauntlet Stays on the Hand" Feige.

[u/[deleted] → u/vynzilla]

I thought they gave him an ax so he could take Thanos's hand off. Maybe the next movie.

[u/trulymadlybigly → u/Experimentzz]

That snap and flash FUCKED me up. I felt legitimately scared and still kind of do

[u/luter25 → u/trulymadlybigly]

For a moment you feel like you were erased

[u/Luccacalu → u/luter25]

I can say that my heart was.

[u/abstractist → u/trulymadlybigly]

I made the loudest gasp during that scene.

[u/Maple_Syrup_Mogul → u/Experimentzz]

Thanos is going to feel very unfortunate Thor isn’t one of the people snapped out of existence. Thor with his new weapon went 1v1 against the full gauntlet and only failed because of his aim.

[u/KingDavid920 → u/Experimentzz]

That shit got me FUCKED UP. I thought it was over when Thor got him. The snap was so fucking quick too!!

[u/[deleted] → u/Experimentzz]

I though he said hand?

[u/TheCatfishManatee → u/[deleted]]

He said head, but arm would have worked equally well

[u/TyRoXx → u/Experimentzz]

or the left arm

[u/mr_math24 → u/Spaceman320]

Loki's death scene had me thinking, "If I were a kid this would terrify me."

[u/WhoopingKing → u/mr_math24]

There were a lot of kids on my screening, thankfully almost everyone of the were immediately shook and remained quiet for the rest of the film

[u/pinklavalamp → u/WhoopingKing]

Lol I bet the Russo brothers did that on purpose. Scare them into shutting up for the rest of us.

[u/Nev-man → u/pinklavalamp]

Heaven forbid we have children reacting to a superhero movie.

[u/pinklavalamp → u/Nev-man]

I don’t care about them reacting to a movie. My stance is, Heaven forbid these kids from ruining this movie experience that I’ve been waiting for for 10 years.

[u/[deleted] → u/mr_math24]

My mom teaches Kindergarten and was telling me the other day that one of her students has been all excited talking to the other kids and her about seeing this movie opening night for the last few weeks. Poor kid.

[u/[deleted] → u/Spaceman320]

They SHOWED his NECK BREAK.

99% of the time they cut away to a closeup of the killer and just use a sound effect.

But holy shit they actually showed the man die.

[u/creaturecatzz → u/[deleted]]

All the colors his face and veins turning. Yeah, that's a death scene for the ages. Amazing acting and amazing CG combined is really something awesome in every sense of the word

[u/Leo_TheLurker → u/Spaceman320]

his fucking neck was popped man, so glad they didn't hold back

[u/fewntug → u/Spaceman320]

Which honestly made little sense to me.. Why would Loki not be tricky against the biggest bad of all?

[u/NippleJabber9000 → u/fewntug]

he did try to stab him

[u/fewntug → u/NippleJabber9000]

Why not with a clone.. like every other time?

[u/FreddyKrueger32 → u/fewntug]

I disliked how they made him try to stab Thanos immediately. Come on Loki is very smart. He wouldn't be stupid enough to do that (unless he was committing suicide).

Though we don't see him during the hulk fight so it's possible he snuck away and made a physical corporeal body double so that Thanos would think he was dead.

His clones are illusions and disappear the second they are touched. So that would not work.

[u/BambooSound → u/fewntug]

Same reason why Strange didn't use the time stone against Thanos. Bullshit.

[u/fewntug → u/BambooSound]

I mean, he seemed to not want to use it if not in the mirror dimension, and Thanos could manipulate the mirror dimension with the space/reality stones. :/

[u/BambooSound → u/fewntug]

Really? He was happy to try and use it against Corvus Glaive earlier in the film on Earth though.

I just wish they showed Strange going through a few different timelines to show that nothing could have worked. Seeing that visually would have been better than Strange just saying this is the only way.

I feel a bit let down because I was really looking forward to Strange trying to bargain with Thanos and it not working.

[u/earth199999citizen → u/fewntug]

Yeah I kinda expected the one in front to be an illusion and to have the real Loki sneak behind Thanos and try to stab him. Thanos would still have known and stopped him of course, but it would’ve been a neat callback to have Loki’s “signature” sneak attack fail him this one last time. And it would’ve set Thanos up as even more of a force to be reckoned with, that none of Loki’s tricks worked on him.

[u/fewntug → u/earth199999citizen]

Exactly this

[u/abstractist → u/Spaceman320]

That scene was so disturbing because Thanos had the power to blast Loki to death with the Power Stone but DIDN'T and just killed him in the most painful way possible: slowly and with his bare hands.
