[@twinflame2885]

@@venomfan2020thanos in the mcu does not have a point. Killing off half of life INCLUDING plants/animals defeats his ideology especially since plants and certain animals are a key source for a thriving planet. Also for corruption for example if you get rid of 1 corrupted person another will rise and so on. He could have expanded the planet(s) for more resources OR just make resources limitless. His solution was literally going to be a cycle of bullshit with no real resolution

For all of Thanos's intelligence, it always baffled me that he never figured out that if he wanted Mistress Death, essentially being a postman that keeps bringing her mail isn't gonna work. Especially if you're the one writing her letters just so you have an excuse to bring it to her.. If you wanna be equal to death, become life dummy. You were able to absorb the 1 above all, the Phoenix force shouldn't be that difficult.. If you want death to chase and embrace you, you either gotta be perpetually on the verge of death but can't die (like idk, DEADPOOL) or like you told your future self, you gotta die..

Aubrey looks so freaking cool as Death

[@Blast2224]

The way they made her skull jaw was beautiful yet frightening. It almost invoked the Terminator in having her eyes be fully expressive while her teeth remained mostly unmoving. The internal decay of her neck tissue also gives the impression that the skin is “falling off” like how a Terminator skin can be “ripped”.

[@Vamroc]

Thanos FINALLY comes to the realization that Mistress Death has been playing him for a fool and in Marvel's X saga Thanos uses the Ultimate Nullifier to kill her

[@JitendraSingh-lr4nu]

There's absolutely no way Thanos kills death herself. That's the personification of ending itself. Any low IQ incel would only say something like this.

[@____2080_____]

If anyone wants to get the best depiction of the concept of “Death” in Marvel comics, they simply have to go back to the old 1970s version of the Doctor Strange comic book drawn by the immortal Frank Brunner and written by Steve Gerber, I believe. He gave what I think they should’ve never let go in any depiction of that character. Death has existed for so long that it does not recognize any one individual. It does not know who Doctor Strange was. It would’ve taken the concept of Thanos courting her as more of his warped projection than it was anything that she existed as a structure at all. They would’ve made him to feel like a mad person rather than this character actually having any form (which throws out the nonsense of that Kranker comic about these abstract entities going to a “dimension of manifestation“ insanity. Then again, it’s those early concepts of characters like that, and eternity that made those characters, all powerful and incomprehensive, even to so-called classic Doctor Strange

[@AMVH2012]

The thing with early Thanos was that it was never clear if Death was there or if it was just in his imagination. He is the Mad Titan because he is completely insane thinking he is doing Death's bidding, at least after helping Warlock defeat The Magus. It isn't until Thanos Quest that it is revealed that he actually is Death's champion, I could be forgetting a few things. I don't consider Thanos Rising to be canon. It totally ignores, or downplays, that he is an eternal and how he later empowered himself to enhance his natural abilities. I stick with the original where Thanos' mother dies in the bombardment of Titan.

[@jerrybeichner]

I would appreciate if you kept up the coverage of Infinity Watch (2024). I think you're going to end up covering it eventually. They are building up to the Thanos with Mjolnir and all the Infinity Stones and the Black Death Stone. Unless they already did and I missed it.

[@juniorjustjunior]

at this point , Aubry Plaza is playing Perpetua and also Abeloth 😭

[@KanWoo76]

Though I liked/appreciated the reason they gave Thanos for assembling the gems, I still wish they would have gone with the end credit tease from Avengers: Assemble and have him doing it to appease Death like the comics from the 90s. I was a grinning little kid when that scene came up and absolutely loved letting my 5yr old son dig through my old comics to see why my expectations were so high! He's been drawing, reading and writing his own comics ever since! Hell, despite the majority complaining of quality, we marathon the entire MCU (..!., not the Inhumans show) leading up to every release to stay fresh! Great Dad & Son times I wouldn't trade for anything!

[@oldmangreywolf6892]

I love Mistress Death. She always smiles down on my meager soul. 😊

[@franciscoayala2348]

Dude, you gave me a big spoiler for the series and this has never happened on this channel before. Usually when you give up something reading comics or talking about the series I'm just like oh, I knew that I knew that today you spoiled it. I'm still here though. I still love you. I just didn't know

[@PancakeDiaries]

I like the comic run where Thanos meets her as a child... She's a figment of his imagination in that story

[@KryyssTV]

It would be interesting to have a connection between the Pheonix and Mistress Death if Marvel persued the idea of her realm being The White Hot Room. If you draw upon the notion of her being based upon the Grim Reaper then she is gathering the lifeforce of people who's physical bodies are now gone or beyond repair and like a cracked or destroy vessel of water that liquid has to go somewhere. If the Pheonix is the sum total of all life that can, has or currently exists then it would be where the water goes. Therefore Mistress Death and her varients could reasonably be the servant of the Pheonix Force that gather life to The White Hot Room which causes it to join with the Pheonix Force. This would also explain why Jean Grey enters the White Hot Room when she dies as it is the realm of Mistress Death and she experiences it differentky due to being a previous host of the Pheonix.

[@BigpopsMcGee]

MCU fans need to stop coming up with theories within the MCU because when it doesn’t happen they all cry about something that was never promised.

[@Merica316]

Agreed. I also watch knowing what happens in the comics but excited to see the MCUs take on it. Comics and movies are two very different mediums and must be treated as such. Also, some take these things a bit too seriously for me.

[@Dapego580]

I think it’s also important for a Story to set expectations so Fans know what to expect. For Instance, with Wandavision it was said the story was inspired in the comics where Mephisto is very relevant, so fans expected the demon to appear, and when it didn’t happen, people complained. Again with Agatha. It was teased that the series would answer the question of whether Wanda was dead or not. When those questions are not answered it’s normal for fans to point that out. That doesn’t mean the series are bad. Both Wandavision and Agatha all along, despite not fulfilling certain expectations, both series were great and Fans liked them anyway

[@Blast2224]

More so a manipulative collector. As long as people die, how it happened or changed to happen doesn’t matter. By death disagreeing with something existing means it’s an abomination. It’s literally Death disagreeing with a life that managed to exist.

[@DFPWeaponX]

Rob, we want you to cover every comic. Lol

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Thanos searched the galaxy for the infinity stones and wiped out half of the universe for one reason. To please Mistress Death, but unfortunately, he just can't take a hint. Which is how relationships are these days. What is it with Women telling men they can't take a hint?

[@reality6442]

What is it with men being sex-pests who think they are entitled to women and take any interaction from women to them, especially basic kindness, as a romantic gesture? Men are the problem.

[@buckanderson3520]

Soooo, if you're too good of a warrior and no one can kill you in combat so you die of old age you go to hell but if you suck as a warrior and die in your first battle you go to Valhalla? Sure, that makes sense...lol 😂

[@ltericdavis2237]

Yeah, that’s old mythology for you. There are stories were Odin looked favorably on a warrior he like, so he made them trip in battle so they would lose and die. That way, they’d die in battle and join his army in Valhalla. Basically, it was a way of explaining why seemingly unstoppable men could be killed by a peasant with a pitchfork

[@stephenblack5425]

Mistress Death: I want nothing to do with you Thanos. Also Mistress Death: obsessively grooms Thanos into becoming her love puppet. I like the comic thanos. But I'm really glad, the Disney MCU changed almost everything about the MCU Thanos. His look, mannerisms, powers, background, origin, planet and even motivation where he is like a dark savior type of character who wants to correct the universe in his own morbid image. The whole mistress death and thanos thing in the marvel comics is a really cool and interesting thing too but in my opinion, the execution of it really degraded and diluted Thanos where he's just a simp slave of death and death just either rejects him or uses him like a puppet. I also don't like the very angry, loud and manchild type mannerisms of comic thanos. The mannerisms of the MCU Thanos is really great where he's calm, sophisticated and soft spoken.

@@Xailow she keep's talking about her "job" and how she want's people to die because she want bodies, the story she tells of how she fell for someone, obviously Agatha, and that prevented her to do her "job". Also, when the teen (or Wiccan I gues) is injured and about to bites the dust Agatha says no, and then she look's directly to Aubrey Plaza character and says to her "please no" or something like that, like begging her to not take his life. Also, funko pops actually leaked that, so knowing it and watching episode 4, it's pretty clear, the nods and clues are all there.
