What Nobody Realized About The Black Order In The MCU

The Most Surprising Things About the Black Order (Thanos' Children) In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
SUBSCRIBE NOW to CBR! Click here: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
Even though Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame made us happier than a kid on Christmas, not everything in the two movies were perfect. There was one huge problem and that was the depiction of Thanos’s Black Order, his group of evil henchmen that he sends to do his bidding rather than get his hands dirty himself. In the comics, these characters were well-developed and could inspire a level of fear within most heroes. The movies though did these characters a gross disservice by having them as basically cardboard cutouts without personality.
And hey, we get it. This was a movie about Thanos and the Avengers and there just wasn’t time to develop the Black Order in a meaningful way. We’re not complaining too much. If we had the choice of fleshing out the Black Order’s backstory or having more awesome moments like Iron Man and Doctor Strange bickering about whose goatee is better, we’re going to pick the latter! But that just means some really important backstory about the Black Order was left on the cutting room floor. Like did you know there was originally five members of the group and one of them was a telepath named SuperGiant? What the heck happened to her and why did Marvel decide to leave her out?
Today’s video is all about the Black Order, meaning it’s comparing the comic Black Order to the MCU’s Black Order and let’s just say the two teams were extremely different. So take a look at the video below and be sure to leave a comment after you’re done or else Thanos might send his henchmen after you!

It would have been awesome if there was a stand-alone movie about the origins of Thanos and the Black Order. It would come in real nicely for those who haven't read the comic books. Much like the most of the MCU characters of how they become the heroes that we love today even most villains have a story like Ultron. With Thanos you just get like puzzle pieces throughout multiple films that you piece together as you follow the movies but not knowing of what went down on Thanos home planet, of how his proposal was rejected, the start and the rise of the Black Order, the fall of Thanos home planet and of how he and the Black Order went from planet to planet. It's like Black Widow, you also get flashes of her past that you can go with but not really knows how her life all started. After a long wait there is light that a Black Widow movie is coming. It would be a dream come true to also see a Thanos and the Black Order movie

Right, assuming some rotation of a planet or moon, or even artificial satellite, during a regular orbit, an occurrence of a, "midnight," or multiple occurrences if, say in a binary system, or if there are just multiple light sources regularly in and out of it's sky or field of vision, it would likely be a pretty common thing.

Few are born in space, she came from a planet, few planets are viod of rotation, so every planet just about has a midnight and a high noon.

Why does everyone do this? Ebony Maw in the comic books is a telepath, but in the movie he is a TELEKINETIC. The narrator (referring to the movie) calls him "an extremely powerful telepath", this is clearly not the case. A telepath reads minds where as a telekinetic moves things with his mind. When does Ebony Maw read anybody's mind in Infinity War?

Now call me crazy but what if marvel did movies that had the antagonist as the lead. For example, a movie about Thanos and Thanos was the protagonist. That way you can have the same character development put into the bigger villains like the superheros get. I doubt Disney would ever allow something like that but I think for the the black order could have been flushed out better if we got a movie that maybe focused on them so then moviegoers that didn't read the comics could understand how powerful they are and more importantly who they are.

Assumed Name Please tell me the relevancy an irrelevant comic book has to the on screen adaptations . Cuz clearly the directors couldn’t careless about the source material.

Didn’t even need superpowers to beat them. Trash

[@assumedname1312]

The Omega Effect if we are talking about the black order in the movies then I agree. But if we’re talking about them in general I disagree. The black order, even in the comics are underrated, so the person could have been talking about them in general. I assumed they were talking about the black order in general, including yourself. Perhaps I was wrong. Besides ebony maw, even on the screen, showed he wasn’t a weakling, so actually I still kinda disagree with you whether we’re talking about the movies or not. But I believe the other three were completely wasted.

[@legendary3952]

Assumed Name that’s why I’m kinda annoyed. Cuz the movies didn’t do them justice. They were a waste of space. And especially the way they were defeated. Próxima midnight and Corvus glaive got served up by black widow and falcon and Captain America. Which is pathetic considering they don’t have any powers. It a disservice to the source materials. And the context of the film, as thanos wouldn’t have chosen them if they weak in the film , which contradict the fights
