If your goal was to make a cliffhanger, you've succeeded as far I'm concerned. I have absolutely no idea what to expect in Infinity & Infinity Gauntlet or how the Avengers are going to get out of this one.

Another thing I really liked about Earth-11584's version of Infinity War was how much it felt like a legitimate sequel to Civil War and World War Hulk. The mainstream Infinity War didn't really do that and it was surprising to me since the Accords/Protocols and Captain America's falling out seemed like they were set up to be important but didn't really change the overall story. Big fan of the connectivity.

The Guardians of the Galaxy didn't have as big of a role, but that makes since because Infinity War is supposed to be an Avengers story with guest appearances from the Guardians, not the other way around.

In my original thoughts the Guardians did have a bigger role, at one point they were going to be the vessel that saved the Asgardians (and even Odin, though I eventually decided he had to die to show more of Thanos' ferocity as a villain) from Asgard, and the whole "chase in space" bit would have been curtailed.

The only reason the Guardians figured so prominently into the ML Infinity War, I think, was because of the Gamora/Thanos subplot. Since my version of Thanos is closer to the amoral psychopath of the comics, I felt that subplot was pointless, and thus there's less for the Guardians to do. I do show snippets of this plot, such as Thanos facing his greatest enemy in the daughter he lost in Soul World, but ultimately it isn't given near the weight it is in the film. Honestly my biggest criticism of Infinity War- Real Life Edition- is that it focuses TOO much on Thanos, when it should be more of a culmination of Phase 3 and its consequences. Since my version of events have more events than just the Civil War (the World War Hulk stuff, Tony as director of SHIELD, etc.), then that has to take precedence here.

Without giving too much away, while this is all a three-part story, the three parts could theoretically stand alone with a little reworking.

I've posted a show page for Avengers: Infinity, and included a brief synopsis for each episode. There will be mild spoilers for both The Defenders (though that's been eluded to) and Captain Marvel in those synopsis', so bare that in mind.

Just read through all of them, they're depressing, but certainly creative.

I can't help but notice you introduced a lot of significant Marvel heroes like Miles Morales, Kamala Khan, Wiccan, etc almost like you're setting up the Young Avengers. That gives me a theory that Iron Lad might join the team sometime in Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet and time travel with them to the past and undo the Decimation/stop Thanos for good. Indirectly setting up Kang the Conqueror and time traveling villains in future installments.

I...honestly hadn't thought about Kang. Time travel will factor into Infinity Gauntlet definitely, but also other films. Kang may factor in later, but I'm going to have enough trouble finally coopting mutants into the world, let alone time traveling villains from the far flung future (though just sitting here I can already come up with a storyline for Kang that would work, its just when to do it.)

As an aside, if it looks like I won't finish "Infinity" before Endgame's release, I'll be going ahead and starting Infinity Gauntlet. The brief synopsis on certain parts will contain all you need to know.

So you may have noticed (if you care) that I have dragged my feet on season 1 of Jessica Jones and the other Netflix shows in my universe. This is just due to lack of direction for many of those stories, outside of general plot direction. Essentially what I am planning on doing is writing episode synopsis similar to the placeholders I had on Avengers: Infinity just so those shows have the plot described in minor details, though not completely written out as they have been up until now, with the intention of going back and finishing them later. This will allow me to get the TV universe back up to level with the film universe, and also make a few things in upcoming films a little clearer.

Also, Infinity Gauntlet has started. It'll be a doozy once it gets finished, as there's a lot of consequences stemming from it. So look forward to that I guess.

Good idea, Darbicus. TV shows are very energy intensive undertakings and it's hard to find the passion to do multiple seasons when you want to work on movie stuff like Infinity Gauntlet and Spider-Man. The placeholders, while I imagine not ideal, are probably the best compromise possible.

No judgement here, that's a smart decision on your end.

Sorry if updates have been a little slow in the last week or so, as I've been dealing with family emergencies all week. Everything is copasetic now, and more frequent (and substantial) updates should resume this week. Thanks.

Sweet merciful heaven Infinity Gauntlet is done! It's not as good as I had hoped, but there it is.

I'm going to read it right now. The end of an era...
