I don't even remember or care who that guy is, but yep you have every right to talk about it if they officially released that information.

I thought the same until I saw Captain Phillips discussion backlash.

No I ment from Avengers movie where he appears.
Your individual experience is not relevant.

Well, everyone kept it going.
I just feel like the thread needs a reset button so we can just discuss the OP instead of the spoiler stuff.

Haha I missed that. "Why'd you ruin Apollo 11 like that? Next thing you know you'll tell me the ship sinks in Titanic!"
Whether the average movie goer is reading a press release (or any of the many news outlets that reported on it) is irrelevant. As others have mentioned, not knowing something is not being spoiled. Spoilers are things that film makers intended audiences to discover while watching the film -- which is def not the case here since Marvel is out there saying "Hey everyone this guy is in this movie!"
Expecting everyone to tip toe around what press releases you have/haven't seen is ridiculous. If something is being publically promoted then it should be fair game.

Yep. Okay. Dropping it.

I'm becoming acquainted with Cosmic Marvel for the first time due to the 99c Marvel Unlimited. I'm halfway through Annihilation. So as I read, it becomes more obvious that Thanos factors in quite a bit, but I'm still a newbie to this stuff, so this was kind of a spoiler. There are a ton of characters in Annihilation, so I wouldn't consider any of them a 100% lock for appearing in GotG.
I think a lot of people are just now becoming interested in Cosmic due to the GotG movie.
Edit: I'm not that put out by it really, but I'll admit my initial reaction was to be ticked off.
I see your point. I read up just how powerful he is on one of those marvel wiki sites.
But it spoils that you will see him in full in GoTg
My mistake.

Oh boy here we go
For all the people saying why are you guys being uncivil, etc;
This thread was never civil. When people shit on the OP for a great height for something they considered spoilery, this thread broke down all pretenses of civility. So drop that lie.
And for everyone saying 'I don't read press releases!', 'I was on media blackout!', etc; they officially released the information, it's fair game, end of. Same with trailer discussion.
I also like that people are posting ACTUAL spoilers now for completely unrelated movies, even if they're tagged. Good lord

Everyone's like 'Who's Vision?'.
I can't get over the silly looking suit Thanos is wearing... but I guess his comics suit would look terrible on film.

Thanos looks great, majestic and really quite menacing. Roll on Avengers 3!

I would have loved to have been in the room when they explained to him what the Infinity Gauntlet was and what his character's endgame would be.
"You're basically going to be the fucking GOAT in this entire universe."
What did you expect he would be wearing? Looks like a slightly jazzed up version of his comic book outfit.

Stupid Marvel should use spoiler tags for the title of the next Avengers movie. I didn't want to know that Ultron was in it!
So inconsiderate.

First look at some guy in GotG

Kind of, but seeing the interview with Paul Bettany kind of threw that out the window. I'm not really one of these people who thinks spoilers ruin one's enjoyment of a movie. Even if there's a true "twist," the film should hold up. But surprise is nice, too. I just have to change my expectations.

Stick to the P4Arena method!
Glad I didn't venture over here before I saw the screening last night (BTW, it's a really REALLY good film). Was pleasantly surprised to see him in the flesh. Didn't realize he was in it, but for whatever reason, he didn't look as intimidating or menacing as I'd hope he'd look.
A black trench coat, like Magneto. Because Marvel should be totally ashamed of the material they're adapting.

That is awesome.
Now all kidding aside, Thanos looks pretty awesome. Avengers 3 is way too far away.

Remember those days?
He's in Guardians of the Galaxy, in theatres August 1st, 2014.

I hate spoilers
this isn't a spoiler.
Is that a real head on a real body, or cg body? Can't get a sense for how big movie-thanos is supposed to be in that image.

That gif reminds me, can anyone explain the RDJ's rose reference?

I know that.
I want more than a cameo. I want to see the Avengers go up against him.
Also, if the Guardians are not in Avengers 3, it'll be a missed opportunity to have a Drax/Thanos brawl. Maybe recreate that oh so awesome scene from Annihilation.

I am devastated a closely related character of the franchise is appearing.
He's mocapped. Same thing they did with Ruffalo and Hulk. Physical stand-in on set, then they impose Brolin's face onto the animated thing.

Why the fuck was this title allowed to be fucking posted? Seeing this shit tonight and would have loved to have been surprised by this.
Fuck you.

Some people dont follow movie news so they wont be spoiled with stuff like this
I'm obviously not spoiled in any way shape or form by this, just saying I understand where they are coming from.
His skin is too light a shade in Guardians. I prefer the darker purple skin in Avengers - looked less cartoony. But the rest of it is great.
I know that.
I want more than a cameo. I want to see the Avengers go up against him.
Also, if the Guardians are not in Avengers 3, it'll be a missed opportunity to have a Drax/Thanos brawl. Maybe recreate that oh so awesome scene from Annihilation.
That wasn't really a brawl,
More Thanos telling Drax to be control his bloodlust for like five more seconds and then Drax saying fuck no stabbing him

The spoiler whining does get out of control sometimes. Anyway, Thanos looks good I think though the Avengers look was more menacing.
