Does the fact that Thanos sacrificed Gamora erase her from existence?

So what is stopping her from being alive in 2014 when she was sacrificed in 2018 ?

Since she is still alive in 2014, why can't she time jump from 2014 to 2023?

Here lies the problem... She's Dead (Current status) as per infinity war leading to endgame ultimately erasing her from the existence so her "2014" self which is the past should be dead as well...Time travel can't reverse death...making it impossible for her to do a time jump from 2014 to 2023 since she's dead in 2018.

losprince:
If you think about it, it's kinda flawed.

They traveled back and got the stones, logically, by returning to their present with the stones the whole Thanus incident should never have happened because the stones wouldn't have existed in that timeline.

Also by returning the stones to the exact places they got them should have negated everything they did, because now Thanus could still get the stones; (I know he was snapped out of existence in the present, but he still exists in the past, so he will continue on his quest to save mankind).

Unless the snap also snapped him out of existence in the past, then we have a bigger problem, because they have now altered the course of history and broken the rule of time travel and that should have severe consequences.

You see, Endgame time travel theory was nothing short of underwhelming, basic and poorly carried out, and they even had the temerity to mock "back to the future's" version when their's wasn't any better.

Added to the whole hulabalu was the whole "Gamora" debacle, basic time travelling principle can't "reverse" death, she clearly dies after Thanos sacrifices her for the soul stone in the events of Infinity war in ,2018, but 2014 Gamora returning with Thanos and Nebula in 2023 to wage war against the avengers in Endgame simply doesn't add up.

You said endgame threw caution to the wind?
For someone who claim to be well versed in the concept of time travel, how did the logic behind messing with time in endgame fly over your head?

Avengers Endgame has one of the most relatively plausible concept of time travel in Hollywood.
They didn't go back in time to change the present (hello, Xmen: days of the future past), they went back to retrieve the items used to disrupt their present, travel back to the present and use the items to restore the balance in their present (emphasis on this!) then travel back to the past to return the aforementioned items.


Hulk told war machine who suggested travelling back in time to kill baby Thanos that killing him won't change nothing because the present will only become their past and the future will be their present.
Meaning whatever they have to do, has to be done in the present.



Haven't seen any concept of time travel more straightforward than this and I have seen many.

Hello sir....where did i say " well versed in time travel"? and i did mention i might be right or wrong.

I still find their concept of time travel disturbing, and this was one of the main down point of Endgame that people spoke of and wrote series of articles about how the time travel logic was shady.


They went back in time to collect the items used in distrupting their present and used it to bring balance to their present, aren't you ultimately saying the same thing i said, "Doing something in the past to change the present or future or "bring balance like you said? The concept meant seem plausible to you but I don't buy it...great movie still btw.

Koicereloaded was an intelligent reviewer.

I remember discussing some science fiction movies with him.

Mekaprime is trying but he seems to be a low budget koicereloaded, no offense.


There are very few people here that I can discus the intricacies of time travel with on this thread.


Cant wait for TENET 2020 to come out. It is some kind of reverse time travel movie

Time travel is one fascinating topic. I have come to the conclusion that each "time travel" filmmaker though why adhering to the basic tenets of time travel, changes and modifies the concept as he or she seem fit and i think this is possible because time travel as of now is purely hypothetical...taking example from my recent time travel watch...Dark (German Series) and Avengers: End game.


Avengers:End game completely threw caution to the wind in their concept of time travel, I know to a certain degree you can't travel back in time to change the future you just came from without dire consequences (Ironman dieing from snapping that gauntlet was as a result of choice and not time travel)....i maybe right or wrong

"Dark"...i fully subscribe to the filmmakers school of thought about time travel..in the entire series thus far, no character who has travelled back in time has been able to change the present they just came from or the future thus far tho since the 3rd and final season is coming out on the 27th of June..some concepts in the series gave me cause to think....like "God is time, and Time is not merciful" and the day you are born is the day your time starts counting, and time won't wait, it goes on and on till the person dies, so finding a way to control time means literally having your own destiny in your hands, one can go back and forth and not be a slave to time, they also mentioned "bootstrap paradox" wherein nothing is really created, since the thing already exists in the future, things just arrive from the future to the past to become themselves ( this is so intricate and has many equations to support).


However, with Christopher Nolan not only a passionate filmmaker but also a very brilliant mind... I can't wait to see his concept of time travel in "TENET"

mekaprime:
@ oyaskii, i know you must have read about Jeffrey Dahmer. Just like you said, making moves & documentaries about serial killers is such a bad idea. I can't believe the producer of this particular movie tried to elicit a sort of sympathy form the viewers for Jeffrey Dahmer.

After seeing his biopics & reading extensively about him, i haven't been myself all day.

And i was so rankled by the fact that after refusing a defense attorney, he later had one who defended him. After the display of evidence(severed body parts, human skulls, human body organs), someone in his right frame of mind, someone with a conscience, came forth to defend him.... good Lord.

I am telling you bro, dramatisation of deranged killers showing what led them to their killing spree is always going to elicit pity forgetting these people commit crimes that will make your stomach turn for days.

Jeffery Dahmer was a special breed of loco, his own excuse was "attention deficit" just imagine leading to borderline personality disorder. He not only killed, he also engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism, but in the eyes of the law, one must defend the accused no matter the crime...i think he was bludgeoned to death in prison by another prisoner who said "God told him to do it". ....Funny enough Jeffery Dahmer repented, baptised and became a born again Christian in Jail.

What series am I watching...well I finished watching CHARMED Season 1 and 2.
I'm currently on the Medical Drama THE RESIDENT. In Season 1 episode 2, so far it's has caught my attention.

Also I want to say this to future and aspiring TV series creators. Please when creating series content, make sure your story catches your audience from the first 5mins of the pilot. The plays a very huge role in whether you will garner audience or not for the series.

Also American Casting Directors needs to stop portraying Nigerians in their series as primitive or stone-age humans. For crying out loud, Nigerians are learned people. Nigerians went to school and we can speak good ENGLISH.

I don't like the way they portrayed the Nigerian Doctor character in the series THE RESIDENT.
Please take note NIGERIANS DO NOT TALK LIKE THE FEMALE CHARACTER "NINA OKAFOR" IN THE RESIDENT. We don't talk like that.

I had no problem with that because that's so close to how she naturally talks, my problem was in S2 when they said Gombe state was in the south of Nigeria...no research whatsoever ....Good show anyway.

Spirited away....... 9/10

This is one of the best animated movies I've ever seen... I was wondering what made a chinese cartoon to grab the prize at the oscars and when I saw this flick I wasn't disappointed... Such a touching story

check out "Your Name" (2016) and "Weathering with you" (2019)...same style with Spirited away...all top notch anime movies.

I hear you my good man, but that path she choose seemed inevitable & out of her control. She was shattered beyond repair, she was shattered to the point that you can't even pick a piece of her on the floor & again people handle things differently, for some it just the trauma which comes once in a while, for others, it goes beyond that, she seemed very insane.

I shouldn't, but i kinda felt a little bit of sympathy for her.

@ the bolded, a million thanks, you perfectly deciphered it.

At bolded... That's why filmmakers find it hard to pick biopic of Serial Killers for prod because these movies tends to show their softer sides and traumatic experience that made them become a serial killer which will invoke a sympathy from the viewers and totally enraging their victims family., these played out in the Netflix's biopic of Ted Bundy titled "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile".

In all my time of reading profiles of serial killers (and i tell you i have read a lot), some are purely loco and kill for fun, but most have suffered severe traumatic childhood experiences but still i haven't found any logical reasons for turning to "serial killing"...Taking another person's life( self defence and mistakes are exempted) is a huge huge step and it will take a really twisted mind to do this not just once but serially....even soldiers that are permitted to kill enemies in times of war, do often suffer PTSD that most never recover from.

mekaprime2:
Am so caught up with her story right now, I just finished Aileen: Life & Death of a Serial Killer

Not trying to justify her actions, but i think the lady was badly broken, it started from home & escalated to other places, unfortunately, every action begets a consequence, they made her the psychopath she was.

At first she believed it was a sort of self defense & kinda pitied herself, but after 12 years on death row, she finally accepted the sad reality of it all.

Her last words struck me & is something I've been trying to decipher.
"I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day, with Jesus".

Any idea what she was implying with the above?

Bro, do you know how many kids from broken home that turns out great? alot. I know some situations in life can really push someone to the edge but ultimately it's innate to decide to be good or bad, she could have simply followed a different path, even tho it will seem difficult, life is tough and most times not fair but we all try to navigate through all the tough circumstances thrown our way and come out on the other side good.


To her last words...during her final days, she claimed that the society "railroad" her into becoming a psychopath, and they were going to execute an innocent woman who was a victim of societal ills. So sailing with rock apparently meant she will be sailing with "Jesus" since she was innocent (albiet in her mind), then the independence day ref (she was referring to the 1996 apocalyptic movie when aliens invaded earth and only a few people remained) meant she will be back with Jesus in an apocalyptic sense to judge all those who were about to execute her and the society which she believed she was a victim of.

This is just porn.. Let call it what it is. White people are so comfortable with nudity and sex.. Something we black people lack.

That's because you focused on the "sex scenes", re watch and focus on what was really going on, the art of the story telling, beauty of the dialogues and the very supreme way the leads interpreted their roles then you will know why it's one of the very best show this year.

Monster(2003)....8/10
Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama

A shocking & gripping biopic on Aileen Wuornos a Daytona Beach proustite who became a serial killer, as perfectly portrayed by Charlize Theron, method acting at it's finest, little wonder she won the Oscars for her performance here.

Hats off to the director for this fine work of art. Everything was spot on & perfect, from the script, cinematography, acting, down to the soundtracks.

Not trying to glorify her actions, but psychology 101 would always say: An action is only meaningful to those & those alone who carry out the said act.

Charlize Theron gave a convincing performance and deservedly got an academy award for it... truly breathtaking.

The real Aileen Wuornos was a twisted and cold fellow fam...i did an extensive research on her during my "active" serial killer profiling days. She was claiming self defence at first but later recanted. To put things in perspective, she was tested for "psychopathy" on scale of 40 with a score of 25 and above been attributed to be a "full on, demented and twisted psychopath", she scored 32. There's this quote of hers from jail, it goes ". "I killed those men and robbed them as cold as ice, and I'd do it again, too. There's no chance in keeping me alive or anything, because I'd kill again.". ....so so cold fam.

The Gift(2015)...7/10
Genre:Drama, Mystery, Thriller

Cleverly written and excellently directed by Joel Edgerton, the movie had an excellent narrative, in the sense that until the last few minutes, you wouldn't be able to tell who the main protagonist was. This are the kinda movie that draws you in & holds you spellbound until the conflict is finally resolved.

The three leads delivered an outstanding performance. Bateman delivers what I'd describe as his careers best performance, for a comedy actor, he did really appear very serious & did justice to his role.

In the end, the Gift's conclusion is an open one, but yet, strangely satisfying.

Actually thought Gordo was lying about been bullied and his revenge was expertly crafted albeit diabolical...and the end was woww

Ps see Extract (2009). Jason Bateman and his wife been tormented again. [quote][/quote]

Survive the night (2020)...3/10
Genre: Action, Thriller

IMDb seems to have finally lost it. Few days back when i downloaded this flick, it was rated 6.1, but now, it's sits at 4.7.

Nice concept though cliché, terrible script & awful execution.
The production crew in charge of this project, seemed like some bunch of amateurs. Video merging was terrible, editing was shoddy, the night shots made with night vision Google's were edited haphazardly.

So many plot inconsistencies, most annoying being a Revolver that fires 2 bullets with one shot, & shoot's more than 8 bullets before you reload.

Bruce Wills seems to have officially taken Nicholas Cage place.

IMDb ratings do fluctuate but becomes stable as the movie ages and more people see it, so if a movie just drop and you are depending on the imdb ratings to see it, wait it out a few days to see if the ratings stable out before you download.

Extra tip...Imdb also has a pro paid version where actors and critics normally use and they can also influence some ratings, to avoid this visit the particular movie's page on IMDb and scroll down to "User's Review"..this should contain fans ratings with comments and this is 90% genuine...a good movie will general have good comments and ratings from a good number of fans and vice versa with a bad movie.

That been said, Bruce Willis and Nicholas Cage are done out here, flee from any project where of them are leads.

The lasts Days of American Crime (2020)
5.5/10

Action Crime Thriller

The Name of the movie is more interesting than the movie

5.5 ke? You try...one of the worst movies in recent times.

I so much agree with this article. So many shows adapted from books or other materials usually runs bland as it goes forward because most deviate from the source material or outrightly change what's in the source material for material gain and "to hell" with quality. Shows like 13RY are the arch-type "one season show", the season one was brilliant as it kept to the source material and passed it's intended message maybe through a depressing way, but Netflix, the producers and writers ordered unneeded further seasons, with each become more insipid than the previous, GOT is another classic example, G.R.R Martin is still struggling to finish the books and i know he had an advisory role in the show running but i doubt how much influence he had in the writting.The showrunners decide to write out the show and the result was near if not catastrophic, completely obliterating the cultural impact GOT should have had in Tv series folklore....

Shows that has also ran it's course but the makers continue to "milk" it are also a problem..A show for example with a premise of "A good guy chasing a bad guy" can't possibly run for more than 5 seasons, the writers ain't that good...Shows like Arrow, Tvd i used to like back then i practically just stopped because they stretched them till they came bitter and i was begging for them to end it anyhow. The only way you can stretch a show as long as you like it's when it's a sitcom ( even this backfires at times check HIMYM ending for e.g) or Anthology format ( I even thought this was impossible to go bad but the recent Black Mirror S5 it's making me have doubt).

These streaming companies are also the problem, they acquire hit shows from smaller production company and milk it to the last drop and even beyond. Money heist is a classic example, fantastic S1 and S2 but "long throat" didn't let them rest and get out why the going was good.

Finally, i think in all i favour HBO recent style, doing mini-series (not more than S3) and moving on.

I just finished watching First Man (2018)

I think it’s a great movie, but like any other historical based (biography's) movies. We already know the outcome and so it is harder to keep the audience in suspense, but damien chazelle’s great directing and linus sandgren’s cinematography made the last moments worth it. As for the story it was written very well, keeping us interested untill they actually luanch to the moon.

I swear down!

The movie was intense! It stressed the hell out of me. The chaotic randomness of the film is such that I found myself rooting for Howard, fully aware that he was a piece of shit and a chronic bad decision maker, but wanting him to succeed anyway.

Dismayed by the ending, but he earned it.

lol was rooting for him myself but at the middle i was this anything can happen to this G and i will okay but in the last few scenes i thought he deserved a good end and the ending had me like "What the Hell?! , and why that smile on his face?? Chaos overload this movie.

Marriage Story (2019)

It's easy to dismiss family dramas on the grounds that there are just too many subpar dramas produced these days, but Marriage Story is excellent, and masterfully portrays a tough, complicated, and sad, yet optimistic tale.

It's a masterfully done family drama with amazing writing and overall performances. The film maintains a fairly good objective view of the two leads, while letting the viewers make their own conclusions.

One of the best movies i saw last year. The dialogues and script delivery from Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver was absolute top notch. In the end i couldn't apportion blame to either of them, i just put it down to two people at the start of what they thought will be a stellar career for but somewhat trapped in a "young " marriage, and now both are now reflecting on what would have been and the marriage thing has peaked both careers with each thinking the other has hindered their career progress....there was definitely love, but most times love is not enough.

There was this scene when Scarlett goes to see Adam and things erupt and she compares him to his father...that scene was my best in the entire movie, the tone, dialogue and delivery was in one accord.

is a thing of beauty bro ! NASA retired their space shuttle program in 2011 and has barely made any manned space travels since then, why Russia and China have been gaining edge in human space travel and American astronauts had to hitchhike to even get to the International space center, then came the Visionary Elon Musk with SpaceX! , with the successful lunch on Saturday, Occupy Mars is now real maybe only the elites can afford it for now but it's closer than ever before...we can't be the only beings in this universe, millions of galaxies to be probed...There must be something out there!
