Which Infinity Stone was in Spider-Man? Under unknown circumstances, Thanos came to be in possession of the Nightmare Stone and the Stark Enhanced Spider-Man acquired a new Infinity Stone (the Chaos Stone). Thanos tried to steal the Chaos Stone from Spider-Man, but Doctor Strange and other heroes of Battle realm intervened. What powers does Soul Stone have? Historically known as the Soul Gem, this Infinity Stone has the power to steal or control actual souls. Strangely enough, the Soul Stone appears to be sentient and has often acted independently, although most of its abilities seem to requires a host body to use.

40:26 When Strange did that "look into all possible futures" thing, it was NOT just a quick thing. In those seconds to the people around him, Strange didn't just look a win/lose list to find which strategy worked. To find the one winning timeline, he had to use the Time Stone to ACTUALLY LIVE ALL 14,000,605 POSSIBLE TIMELINES until he lived the one where they win. Doctor Strange just LIVED roughly 588 MILLION YEARS (using Cumberbatch's real-life age of ~42-years-old in this movie as a reference). And even if he only viewed the timeline from the present moment to the future where they won, that's still 70 million years he experienced in those ~10 seconds.

Seriously underrated comment right here.

[@nikkogotangco9754]

Actually, Rico was kinda right. In this movie, Thanos is basically the main character; it is his story. It's his ascension to triumph (which is rightfully his because the theme of this movie is sacrifice, and Thanos was the most willing to sacrifice everything to bring to pass what he thinks is good, giving light to his own words "The hardest choices require the strongest wills.") The Avengers lost because they weren't willing to trade lives (sacrifice) for the common good, they still lack that "strong will". They're still yet to learn that in order to win, sacrifice is necessary.

Mhmm, 100% right. The avengers have become too used to Cap’s optimistic view of always coming out of things together. It’s prob just a side effect of Cap being their leader but Cap was optimistic to a fault and continuously pushed the “don’t trade lives” thing. And then his choice in civil war was the reason why they were so divided in their fight…😮‍💨 In the end, they weren’t prepared to make the tough decisions to sacrifice. Which is understandable bc they’re just human but, that doesn’t change the fact they were their own downfall (in the grand scheme of things)

the 2 scenes with Peter and Tony, and Wanda and Vision at the end were improvised. The actors were given a rough layout of the scene but just did what felt natural, which in my opinion makes the deaths so much sadder. and just so you know, Spidey's death was even sadder because his Spider Sense could tell something was wrong, Peter felt well before anyone else that he was dying and it terrified him 10x more.

Roger Ebert said that movies are empathy machines. They’re designed so that you empathise with the characters and their stories. Most MCU films have happy endings and that’s all well and good, but it can’t prepare you for the important stuff. Movies like Infinity War, where A LOT of sad/emotional stuff happens, are good for the soul. Films that deal with sadness, emotion and grief can be very cathartic. They can help you process your feelings and help you come to terms with whatever you’ve got going on in your life. Have you ever watched Pixar’s Inside Out? That film basically teaches us that emotions like sadness can occasionally help us work things out. This is why films like this are some of my favourites in the series.

[@mike_aka_tinman]

So many up and down emotions with this movie. Thor entering Wakanda was epic! When Peter said “Please, I don’t want to go” that killed me. Think that was the part that broke everyone in the theater.

[@swuavewrap8642]

Man that scene with peter was easily saddest moment in the mcu imo

[@michaelccozens]

The saddest part of that scene was Peter attempting to gather himself for Tony, and then looking him in the eyes and apologizing. Before, you just thought he was a kid begging for his life, which is sad enough. But at that moment, you realize Peter wasn't begging for himself, at least not entirely; he was begging to stay because he still felt, despite everything he'd done, that he hadn't done enough. Understanding that, your heart breaks all over again.

Marvel thankfully changed with the times

[@EnglishUbermensch]

Bullshit. The men gets as much sexualized as the female. They just don’t whine about it . ScarJo has been using her beauty and sexuality to get by in Hollywood forever. Funny how now that she is older and not so sought after is she complaining about female sexuality in movies. Virtue signaling if you ask me

[@mechanomics2649]

@@EnglishUbermensch You're assigning an awful lot of intent with very little evidence lmao It's possible that the reason Scar Jo got into those particular movies is because her sexuality and beauty would sell, rather than her seeking to do so. Hollywood has rather famously not treated women very well. As for the sexualization of men, that is more often to appeal to the idolization of other men more than it's meant for women. I'll bet if we asked you, any one with promoting progressive ideals is virtue signaling. Dismissing everything as such, without taking even a moment to explore it, does nothing but show your ass.

A lot of women are and will forever be attracted to manly men the same way a lot of men will be attracted to feminine and curvy beautiful women. Women are not a monolith. A good chunk of women drool over the Chris Evans and Jason Momoa of the world because of their appearance. And it’s is fucking okay because it is their desire which makes them human. Stop shaming sexuality in people if they are not forcing it on others! She doesn’t have to do the sexy movies or take the sexy roles! That’s her growth. But it is pretty hypocritical to shame the industry that made you famous just because your time is past fuck off and enjoy your privilege.

[@ridiculousedtollett6120]

Even though it's never explicitly stated in the movies, I always thought of the Soul Stone controlling life and death. The reason it tests you is so you "understand its power." You have to understand what it means to lose what you love before you have the power to make others feel that pain as well.

[@Migman2020]

yep.. infinite power over life and death in the universe.. you can even move souls about into different bodies or occupy someone else. you temporally see the soul stone rip dr stranges soul from his body during the fight on titan.. that stone is incredibly scary as you can kill anyone you want instantly. So many people fail to understand just how powerful the stones are and how much thanos is holding back.. the fact that the glove was burned to a crisp when he turned half the universe to dust is nothing but a glimpse of their true power. they called infinity stones for a reason.. absolute infinite power.

[@appal5052]

That’s a pretty cool concept, that now that I think about it, has me wishing it was true for all the stones. Like imagine in order to get the time stone you have to lose time, maybe in your life so your lifespan is shorter than what it would’ve been. Power stone, if you have strength, you lose it etc. Though I don’t think that would work with Thanos.

And then you move onto Disney+ shows, and the damage is catastrophic. I'll just sum up the single biggest point of damage for each show. WandaVision - Wanda is now a remorseless psychopath, since she tortured an entire town for her own selfish gain and damn well knew about it. Falcon and WS - Falcon is now a moron and a terrorist supporter, and the show did nothing but racebait the "oh what does it mean for a black man to be Captain America", WHEN RHODEY WAS THE IRON PATRIOT AS FAR BACK AS Iron Man 3. Big fucking whoop. And Loki, oh boy - Everything up to this point has been predetermined by an omnipresent clown, so that instantly destroys every single character in the MCU, since none of them made any decisions in the first place.

Finally, I found a comment that understands how I feel completely. That comment she made was very ignorant and inconsiderate.

If I was Wanda, if I could, I'd take Vision somewhere Thanos would never find us, not caring if everyone else perishes. Because if it's just us alone, safe and happy, I wouldn't care about anyone else. That might be heartless, but it's true. She lost everyone she ever cared about, and at first, she was the one who had to ki*l Vision, who still told her it was alright and that he loved her.. The world may be important, but so is her love for Vision. In the end, she still did it knowing how it would affect her. She pushed her feelings for Vision aside to try and save everyone else because it was the right thing to do, but not because she wanted to, but because Vision gave her permission to since he knew it was the only way.

You want foreshadowing....Go back to Avengers Age of Ultron, when Tony is talking to Cap trying to explain why he created a murder bot (Ultron). He (Tony) points the sky and says "That's the Endgame"! 7 movie foreshadowing!!!

Endgame*

[@Abdul859]

I love how they made Thanos seem like in his thought process that he was doing a deed or a favor for any kinds of population in any galaxy society by wiping them out would be seen as fair as resource-wise or population wise which what the writers would make you think that it’s wrong but when you reflect on it, you instantly find out that he’s right because his line “Hardest choices require the strongest will” which then you learn the meaning of what he says and how he is an example of that when you watch the end of IW which is probably my most fav part ever in the movie

But what I hate the most, is that they made Hulk look like a punk throughout the whole movie. Yeah, Thanos being his equal in strength was a good surprise for Hulk, but not letting throw at least one punch in IW against Thanos made him look bad IMO. And even if they didn’t want to use Hulk, they could’ve done something else, like have one of Thanos minions put a spell on him that made him not turn into Hulk.

They actually do win in three. This was revealed in Doctor Strange 2. In one universe Secret Avenger wins. In another Doctor Strange (evil Strange) and in the third, the glitchy MCU by Stark's sacrifice which is an alternate timeline originally won by Secret Avenger.

When you were talking about where Scott was, him and Clint (Hawkeye if you don’t remember his first name) we’re on house arrest for 2 years and didn’t go on the run with Cap and the others. Scott and Clint have families and I don’t think they wanted to abandon that, also they probably didn’t know about Thanos or anyone else, keep in mind, this entire movie took place from within 12-24 hours (I believe, it could be different, but from what I can tell that’s what it is), so there wasn’t much time for them to meet up with everyone anyways, even if they did know. Also you’ll see what Scott is up to in the next movie prior to the snap 😁. Loved the reaction as always!

Watching this in the movie's opening weekend packed theatre. Dead silence dead silence at the end. It was such a one in a lifetime experience. People were gobsmacked at the ending. Thor's entrance in Wakanda had everyone losing their mind and actually had us believing someone could stop Thanos.

[@ot7biasedmashups]

The fact that Peter Quill was supposed to destroy the plan will always hurt. From what we saw in gotg 2 we know that he won't hesitate to harm the ones who hurt his loved ones. That's why he didn't hesitate to shoot Ego and punched Thanos in this. If it went any other way they WOULDN'T HAVE WON! It hurts so much bruh.... Just like Wanda managing to destroy the stone or Thor not going for the head.

[@dleexxx3nate973]

Your comments are spot on! Old comic book heads like myself, sometimes take issue with movie adaptations. The movies are ok, but they lose soooooo much in translation. The things you alluded to are almost exact copies of the original comic book Infinity Gauntlet story. Multiple characters had a chance at stopping Thanos, but it was their own character flaws that derailed their attempts. In fact, this was one of the MAIN points of the story, so I'm REALLY glad they put it in the movie. So many adaptations fail at this

I think you’re misunderstanding something. To get the soul stone, you must sacrifice that which you love. What you’re saying is that because she was mocking him, it made him not care to do it, but in reality, her words didn’t matter at that point. Because he loved her so much that is the reason he COULD get the stone. If he didn’t love her, then the sacrifice would’ve meant nothing.

[@bluewolf2708]

Exactly. Like, that was so obvious, yet she was certain she was right. If Gamora argued and that made Thanos mad, him throwing her off would've done absolutely nothing.. because in her logic, that would mean he didn't love her and did it out spite, Which is not at all how it works. Like you said, her words didn't matter because he was going to do it regardless of her speaking up or not. Once he knew what had to be done, that was it. She thinks that if Gamora stayed quiet, he would've had second thoughts. But that goes to show how little she has payed attention to Thanos' character.

Hiya you two! Since you asked here's an answer for what the Soul Stone does! The Soul Stone has the ability to manipulate and control the soul, as well as the essence that makes up an individual. It has the ability to resurrect and conjure the spiritual representation of the people who are dead. So basically low level necromancy

[@flipflop1591]

Been waiting for this video, LETSSSS GO! Loved the journey guys

[@TheUAProdigy]

The soul stone is arguably the most powerful of all as it has the ability to manipulate any soul. It could even be used in the comics to resurrect the dead.

[@eivinkringen4725]

The soul stone actually has its own dimension connected to it(as seen at the end of infinity war). One of the lesser powers of the soul stone includes the ability to rip the souls from mass amounts of people and lock them in the dimension within the stone. Each individual infinity stone all govern a central aspect of existence and they all possess a sort of contusions. The soul stone has infinite power over life and death. Because of this it controls all aspects of the soul itself and as such it is the most powerful stone, being the most aware and conscious of all the stones. The soul stone is also shown to have the power to somewhat manipulate the power of the other stones, as seen in captain America when it made the space stone bring red skull to vormir.

I still find it funny just remembering that Steve had not seen Thor for a few years and that his smile was genuine, black panther and all the other soldiers from Wakanda have never seen Thor in person so they're all seeing his power first hand and that the interaction between Steve and Groot was funny as well hahaha.

[@jashan8282]

Well for powers of stones. Power stone has infinite power and it also increases the power of other infinity stones. Space stone can be used for travel and to every sort of thing in space. In comics a character uses it to become a Speedster that runs in space. Reality stone changes the reality. Mind stone has infinite knowledge and it can take control of mind as shown in Avengers. Time stone takes the power of time. Soul stone has power over dead people or you can say soul. If I remember Adam bardock has that stone like vision on his head. Remember the golden people. They will create/are creating Adam. They should in the post cradit scene

[@Dr.HooWho]

It's not infinite, If it was he would have never been defeated or whoever used the stones. The inifuty gauntlet dont make the user have infinite power he wont be like the one above all level.

44:13 The soul stone has the power to take life, indiscriminately. He needs all six to snap, killing half the universe, but soul is what enables that ability. The others just amplify it, through time, space, and all realities. Mind and power are required for that amplification, the others are to set the constraints. At least, that’s what I’m guessing.

[@islefinkonnit2738]

Monica, I hear you on how you prefer Black Widow/Natasha to not be szxualized, but sxzualization is the whole point of her character. It's actually why she's called Black Widow. Natasha (in her villian/anti-hero days) would use her szxual prowess to seduce men, in order to gain intel or other advantages. Black Widow herself, is based off of the classic Femme Fatale character archetype (and, of course, the Black Widow Spider). Black Widow is supposed to be szxualized... that's why she's called Black Widow. However, I have to agree in you in many other circumstances though... if it's not for the sake of characterization (or even then, if it's over the top) it can be quite irritating. But it must go both ways: you can't criticize sxzualization of female characters, but want to swoon when a male character is shirtless (after Cap is given the serum... just sayin). It must go both ways.

[@AxeloftheKey]

This is the big one. I love this film, my favorite MCU film for sure. I mean 10 minutes in I see Hulk beaten, Heimdall and Loki dead? Incredible music? 2/6 stones are with Thanos? I knew this film was gonna be different. The narrative structure of this film is relentless and it's great. You feel the tension of what it will take to stop him, every character going through their story arcs...And Thanos shuts it down. He shuts down every single character arc before it can finish, always getting his way. The stones are cheat codes that let him subvert storytelling itself to get a win. It's just insanely well-written. I will always love this ride. I knew more was to come, I knew it couldn't end here...But waiting a year for the resolution? What a year that was.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Yeah it's just too bad that they nerfed Thanos though. He's far more powerful than portrayed in these movies. Especially with the infinity stones.

[@kylemccormack1785]

44:14 - The Soul Stone is only used once in the film, and never alone. Combined with the power stone, it allows Thanos to simultaneously destroy Dr. Strange's illusions and temporarily knock Steven Strange's soul right out of his body. Some audience members also speculate Thanos also uses it to "whammy" the guardians in that fight, a few seconds after he breaks free from Mantis. They get up, run at him and he hits them with something that seems to instantly knock them unconscious. The soul stone simply provides power over souls - it can contain souls, conjure up the spirits of the long dead, and reveal the "true nature" of living beings, their true intentions or moral alignment perhaps. The stone appears to contain the souls of those who are sacrificed to it, which is why after the snap, Thanos enters a realm that is the same color as the stone - the soul stone contains a pocket dimension, a little world inside of it. There's a deleted scene from Endgame in which Tony's snap causes him to briefly encounter and speak with the spirit of his daughter, who appears to him as a fully grown adult.
