Steve Blobs Easter Celebration

First, the good news. The planet Vormir is located in the Kree Galaxy, the dominion of the blue-skinned aliens of which Ronan the Accuser is a member. The planet doesn't have any greater role to speak of. That allows Thanos to turn Wolverine's metal skeleton to rubber, to suddenly conjure an airtight box around Cyclops's head Infinity War gives a taste of that when the Guardians encounter Thanos in Knowhere, and the villain turns Star-Lord's blaster shots to bubbles. The Guardians last a total of a few seconds in battle against Thanos, as he instantly shows off the reality-bending powers now at his disposal.

First he subdues Drax by transforming him into a series of cubes - and then takes Mantis out of the fight by turning her into ribbons.

That's a recreation of the attacks he simultaneously let loose on Nebula and his brother, Starfox in the original comics. The promise of a famous comic book moment being adapted to screen was made when Gamora claimed in the Infinity War trailer that " the entire time I knew him he only ever had one goal: If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with a snap of his fingers.

It was the request of Lady Death, whom he loved, and wasted little time in making it happen it actually concludes the first issue of the Infinity Gauntlet series. The movie spends a bit more time making the losses extra heartbreaking, too. In the comics the snap of Thanos's fingers was given a bit more spectacle - but the lifeforms erased simply blinked out of existence.

The subplot starring Thor may be a bit confusing for fans coming off of the most recent Thor: So his need to return to the hammer's forge and create a new one is a bit suspicious. Either way, the secret of Thor's new weapon ended up being revealed long before the movie thanks to tie-in toys, concept art, and collectible figures. One look at the new weapon is all comic fans will need to see that it's based on the Ultimate Mjolnir, so named because it is the weapon held by Thor in Marvel's Ultimate Universe.

Its main feature is the half-hammer, half-axe blade design with his faithfully recreated for the movie with some help from Groot to make a handle. Sadly, fans are still counting the days until the Marvel movie universe gives a version of Beta Ray Bill, the alien creature who possessed - against all odds - the worthiness to claim the mantle of Thor.

He may look like a humanoid horse, but Bill proved his might when he defeated Thor in combat for the right to wield Mjolnir as the god of thunder. Ever one to make the peace, Odin stepped in to honor Bill by having his very own mystical hammer forged by the same Dwarves who created Mjolnir. The weapon endowed Bill with the same Asgardian powers and costume as Thor, looking a bit more like an actual oversized ball-peen hammer than the sledgehammer of Thor. The pair of heroes would go on to be lasting friends and allies, with the MCU even lifting the name of Beta Ray Bill's hammer for Thor's new weapon.

The tunes came delivered on a Zune, of all things good for a laugh but also cranked the future song count up to over The song "The Rubberband Man" by The Spinners can be heard playing in the Milano when the Guardians' story overlaps with that of Thor, and it's not a coincidence.

For those eager to see if Yondu's songs pack the same emotional punch as Star-Lord's mother, "The Rubberband Man" may be particularly meaningful. The story goes that producer Thom Bell wrote the song with Linda Creed for his own son, whose weight made him a target for school bullies. Doctor Strange gets a particularly harsh treatment over the course of the film, thanks to the Infinity Stone around his neck. The spikes used to torment Strange into giving up the Time Stone are new, but Marvel Comic fans will remember this very scene being played out in the comics.

The miniseries that centered on Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet may be the best known of such stories, but it's not the only time the Infinity Stones have caught Thanos's eye. We can't say exactly why it is that Rocket Raccoon seriously has a thing for prosthetic limbs and eyes, but he decided long ago that there really is nothing better to built a practical joke around. Later in the same film he attempted the same gag, taking a shot at getting the fake eye of one of Yondu's Ravagers. In the sequel the joke continued, with a mix-up seeing Baby Groot fetching a prosthetic eye from So naturally, the arrival of Thor - a one-eyed Asgardian King - aboard the Guardians' ship provides yet another opportunity for eye-based humor.

The local children had even given him a nickname: The name was more important than casual fans realized, suggesting in a major way that it wasn't the role of Captain America that actually lay in Bucky's future as it did in the comics. Instead, White Wolf was the name given to T'Challa's adopted brother, a Caucasian boy abandoned in Wakanda who was welcomed, eventually rising to the highest position in Wakanda's security. It's worth knowing that the Infinity Gauntlet story begins for the heroes of Earth when Silver Surfer brings the cosmic conflict to their front door This was one of the first comic book moments confirmed to be lifted for the film, albeit with Bruce Banner taking the role of Silver Surfer.

Since Hulk is the one who first collides with Thanos before being rocketed away to Earth, it's his turn to go slamming through the very same window. A nice touch, even if Banner's role in the final fight isn't quite as large as Surfer's in the original. There was plenty of talk about Steve Rogers making the shift from his Captain America persona to that of Nomad, the identity he adopted when he grew disillusioned with his home country in the comics. Even if it's lacking the flowing cape and plunging neckline.

He has also gotten rid of any kind of cowl at all, relying on his beard and hair to do the job of a helmet. The smallest nod to his unforgettable if dated Nomad costume comes with the accents planted on Cap's shoulders. Without his signature shield, it doesn't even make sense for Steve to require the straps, let alone the buckles tightening them under his arms. The fact that Steve Rogers has been forced to toss the title of Captain America, along with his shield, his allies, and his reputation as a 'good guy' should probably be the most notable change.

Apparently, sliding into the shadows and avoiding detection was aided with more hair than America's poster boy. And just like the Nomad persona, this is also a change originally seen in the pages of Marvel Comics. Steve gave up the title and costume to a hero named John Walker Not every detail worth spotting has to do with a vague connection to Marvel Comics mythology, or even MCU films of past or present.

Sometimes, it's the artistry of the actual movie-making that deserves to be called out. Civil War of Steve Rogers and T'Challa standing side by side, gazing out into the fog - a pretty meaningful bit of symbolism, now that we know how unpredictable the days ahead really were for both men. That same shot gets a callback when Steve is equipped with his new Wakandan shields, and once again takes his spot at T'Challa's side although they're now looking out on a clearer, if more menacing battle ahead of them. The echo of the shots will be missed by most, but for the fans who enjoy the glimpse back through time - to when Steve was so recently the clean-cut Captain America, and T'Challa not yet crowned as King of Wakanda - it's a moment to treasure.

But the real loving homage comes after Maw is sucked out of the hole Tony blasts in the hull of his ship. As the villain is shown curled up, frozen, and drifting off into space, the similarities to the Xenomorph Queen's own send-off become too exact to miss.

Product description

Marvel fans curious enough to do some digging into the origin story of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer know that there is actually more than one. In the original version of the story, Odin requested the creation of a hammer that would eventually be named Mjolnir and entrusted to his son, Thor. The movie makes sure to pay some homage to both versions, with the dwarven forge of Eitri advanced like the modern origin story, but relying on Thor to open massive shutters to create his new hammer. He must open the shutters, in effect, so that rays of sunlight can enter it dark forge and see Storm Breaker created.

Instead of fighting all of the world's heroes in the middle of space, Thanos and his forces are divided up to tackle two fronts at once. But that doesn't mean some memorable moments aren't adapted for these new circumstance. The most obvious homage to the final comics fight is Spider-Man announcing his presence by flinging a hefty dose of web directly into the face of Thanos, the Mad Titan.

It's not the only moment, either. The change from comic book panel to filmed scenes and action sequences means comparing specific moments is difficult. The moment that Thanos catches Spider-Man in his palm and slams him down to the ground makes it clear Spidey is best keeping his distance from the supervillain. Thanos gets that privilege this time around.

OPENING 11th MARCH 2017

In the comics, Peter chose to take the side of Tony Stark - and won a new, advanced suit of Stark technology to remake him as the Iron Spider apparently Iron Man was hoping to expand his brand. The suit was red and silver, but the biggest change was the addition of a set of robotic spider legs deployed from Peter's back to help him in all aspects of superheroics. However, the metallic suit offered up to Peter in the movie's final scenes was a much closer match. It's understandable, since such lore works better on the comic book page than in a two-hour movie.

When the final battle pits the heroes against the combined might of Thanos and his Infinity Stones, Doctor Strange turns to one of his most iconic magical weapons: The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Aside from being a terrific magically-tinged shout of frustration or amazement, the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak are highly effective at wrapping and subduing even superpowered enemies.

They've been used plenty of times in the comics, and while not named in the movie, the red bands that envelop Thanos when the heroes surround him are impossible to miss. The Crimson Bands aren't the only identifiable spell used by Doctor Strange for the first time on film. For all his magic, Strange never overlooks the fact that Thanos can crush him, or any of the other heroes if he gets a clear enough shot, based on brute strength alone.

So to give himself an edge, Strange creates multiple copies of himself to confuse and distract Thanos. The spell doesn't work for very long since Thanos is far too powerful by then So maybe the movie version of Strange just had to learn the same lesson the hard way? But Peter Parker gets to partake in another first long before that scene, even before he leaves his school bus to go swinging into danger. Even before the spaceship is spotted by the heroes in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Tony Stark can sense its arrival. He's even farther away, but Peter senses it just as quickly - thanks to his Spider Sense.

Infinity War: 40 Easter Eggs You Completely Missed in Avengers 3

The moment is small enough for some fans to miss it, but its history-making nature means audiences should keep their eyes peeled. It's not the classic approach of having tingling lines or sound effects used to trigger Pete's perception here, simply an instant raising of all the hairs on Peter's arm. It happens before even he can make sense of what it means, making it the first use of the power in this MCU-integrated incarnation. Every Marvel moviegoer knows that it's bound to arrive at some point, and be impossible to miss - yet the sudden appearance of comic book legend Stan Lee still takes viewers by surprise.

When Peter notices the spaceship hovering over New York City, he relies on the shocked reactions from his fellow students to let him slip away as Spider-Man. Apparently, Stan Lee's cover story is starting to slip, since he's anything but shocked, acting as if seeing a spaceship is old news. Hopefully none of Peter's fellow students noticed that their bus driver is actually a cosmic narc.

Homecoming , it turns out Tony Stark and Pepper Potts have continued their love affair in relative contentment, with marriage, and even starting a family now entering Tony's radar. Morgan Stark wasn't Tony's son, but his cousin, at least in the classic comics. Originally introduced as the scheming son of Howard Stark's brother, later comics would see Morgan's jealousy towards Tony transform him into the supervillain Ultimo operating a massive mechanical monster.

According to her, every time she lost to her sister Gamora, Thanos would replace a part of her with an artificial one. When Thanos takes Gamora to see her sister in the flesh, the scene is a grisly one - Nebula broken down into her constituent mechanical parts in Thanos's version of a rack.

The Nifty Numbers trail at second world war code-breaking site Bletchley Park is more cerebral than your average Easter hunt, with puzzles, challenges, games and activities.

On Easter Sunday, there are drop-in workshops about coded messages for year olds and, on Easter Monday, craft sessions to make cards with coded patterns for year olds. Easter activities include a shanty singing workshop 30 March. These Easter shows sneak in some education with the entertainment. Play Dough, meanwhile, has 10, real pound coins on stage, teaches children about money and the financial crisis, and gets the audience to compete in high-energy games. An interactive science show at the Scottish Seabird Centre about Captain Flap teaches kids about the principles of flight, and there are workshops to make fizzy-bottle rockets, kites, paper planes and cut-out birds.

This country show for kids has lots of farmyard fun, with feeding, grooming and petting stations for donkeys, goats, cows, rabbits, sheep, pigs and alpaca. There are Shetland pony cart rides and dray rides; bouncy and pedal-powered tractors; cooking workshops; and planting a mushroom log to take home. Sea Life London, meanwhile, has a new walk-through Frozen Planet section.

A new immersive tour at Llechwedd Slate Caverns, opening in time for Easter, journeys ft underground on the steepest cable railway in Britain. Light projections, enhanced-reality technology and special effects are used to tell the story of Victorian slate miners — and visitors can try some of the mining techniques themselves. Chill Factore indoor snow centre has a range of one- and two-day camps.

Snow Fun Camps are for beginners who want to learn the basics of skiing and snowboarding, try luging, tubing and sledging, and have a go on the climbing wall. The Beginner and Improver Camps are more focused on skiing or snowboarding, while the Race Camp is for more experienced skiers who want to try the gates and slalom.

There are lots of Easter specials on real railways, too. Alongside The Wire star, partygoers should look out for another special-guest DJ details currently under wraps.
