What you said has nothing to do with the function of the gauntlet though.
I don't understand you point in relation to how the glove functions in the movie.
What you posted has nothing to do with the plot hole of this film.
I guess reality is "now" like what's in existence now.
Meanwhile, the soul stone can bring people back from the dead, create life, and the time stone controls what isn't now, and so forth.
Your post makes no sense.
So, try again.
It was shocking in it's cringeworthiness because it was so forced.
That's different though.
US films are foreign for people outside of the US. I like Japanese and French films, for instance, but it takes months or years for them to get to the US. They aren't meant for me to immediately see, so I'm out of consideration for French and Japanese people who want to talk about these movies.
Your thought process is clouded by your desire to see this story as quality, when it's not.
IT LITERALLY IS THE DEFINITION OF A PLOT DEVICE ON WIKI. Thus, it's not me, it's you.
The logic of a device that grants wishes means it would not cost the user anything. The glove isn't alive like a devil or genie trying to trick you, it's bascialy a wish machine. It should not be able to hurt you unless you subconsciously want it to.
But, as I've said, if you look up the definition of plot device the example is this movie plot. I'm sure wiki didn't just enter that either.
I don't know who you're talking to.
It was about Thor's physical condition, which should have been a surprise. I also saw who died.
This was all in a facebook post that my eyes flicked across but it was too late. Anyway, while watching the film I knew what was going to happen before it did. The film wasn't ruined but it was less fun.
I think I saw a bit of the first film where they're on the highway trying to steal a gas truck. Vin Diesel stupidly says, "Da street value on dat gas is ABC" as if gas was a drug or they were living in Mad Max times, and I turned it off. I couldn't take that level of stupidity.
Also, as we saw with Paul Walker, sport cars can blow up at very low speed crashes because they made of nothing. And, you can't pull off public crimes in city areas because of police helicopters. So, the settings I'm familiar with aren't science fiction, but supposed to be in "now" reality, which is just stupid.
However, in a science fiction world, I can take a lot because it's no longer reality based.
Do you have to watch all of the movies to follow the story or is there a point where you can start watching and the stories are more fantasy based?
Firstly, the comics are the source material. What the glove does is epic and important to the story. If you make it not work, then it's not epic any more and the story is ruined.
Really, they did ruin the story because once Thanos got what he wanted in the comics, he didn't care to use it anymore. I am reminded of back in the old days of videogames when you could enter cheat codes and be unkillable. It seems like it would make games more fun because you could just play them through, but mostly in made me give up because it was boring.
That was the message of the source material.
But anyway, regarding the movie, the glove granted a wish that changed the entire universe. There was never anything that said the wearer wasn't affected by the wish purpose of the glove. It was never said that if you put that glove on it will kill you. Not all the stones killed regular people.
So, the filmmakers defied the logic of the glove so they could kill off characters. That's a PLOT DEVICE and I posted the wiki definition of a plot device here. It said exactly what happened in this film, making the film cliched and unoriginal.
Meanwhile, the source material was VERY original showing the "bad guy" being not so bad because he reflected on his world domination and wasn't happy with it. That's not typical of fictional bad guys.
In this film, Thanos didn't have an intelligent character arch like that.
I'd say two to three weeks.
If you aren't going to a film within two weeks you aren't a huge fan. Spoilers hurt people who are big fans and excited.
For instance, I accidentally saw a spoiler, like for a second, about what happens to Thor in the latest Avengers. That ruined the "joke" when I saw the film, which was only three days after it came out.
That's just shitty.
Adamantium boned probably.
It's another stupid plot hole where they decided to use comedy in a non comedy just to make sure the character couldn't ruin their fairly weak story.
Thor cannot get fat.
He isn't remotely human and his body is like some kind of cosmically super machine. At the least, he couldn't get fat on Earth food no matter how much he consumed.
It was never said that the gauntlet was unusable by a human. Hawkeye easily holds the soul stone.
So, what you're saying is wrong.
The glove allows the wearer to control reality. If that's the case it wouldn't kill you unless you wanted to die.
There's many plot holes in this film that are ridiculous. For instance, to get the soul stone you must kill the one you love the most. In this two people try to commit suicide to do it and one does. So, no one would get the stone via suicide.
I think it's crazy that we the audience know these things and people in charge of a movie worth over a 100 million forget. I can't understand it.
Anyway, the glove is reduced to a cheap plot device here. In the comics is wasn't. So, a comic book story was more advanced than this expensive film.
Yes, it's sad to have a dramatic movie and then throw in these stupid plot devices.
There's many other ways it could have been handled
Yes Thor is portrayed that way.
In the first film he was sent to Earth for being a jerk and could use his hammer.
Above, I explained why he had trouble lifting his hammer after arguing meanly.
In the comics and myths, Odin gave him the hammer as a little kid. The more good deeds Thor did, the more he could lift the hammer.
Thor is not a person who would become fearful or a coward.
