10 Movie Idiots Who Made Simple Solutions Look IMPOSSIBLE

We knew from the start that Avengers: Infinity War wasn’t going to end well. Why else would there be the then-untitled Infinity Wat Part Two? Watching Infinity War for the first time was definitely an emotional rollercoaster, then. You couldn’t help but hope that maybe, just maybe, it would all work out.

That feeling was never greater than when Iron Man, Mantis, and Spider-Man come together to try and force the gauntlet off Thanos’ hand. You’ve got webs, rocket gloves, and most importantly Mantis’ calming influence to try and wiggle the glove from the Titan. We even see it begin to loosen and slip, and we nearly have success over the genocidal maniac!

Or we would have, if it weren’t for one Peter Quill. Instead of being any actual use in this scenario, Star Lord decides now is the time to have a gloat about how they’d over powered him, and thinks his best contribution to the situation is to start quizzing Thanos on the whereabouts of his daughter, Gamora. She’s dead, Quill gets upset, and single handedly chucks their only opportunity to stop Thanos from clicking his fingers out of the window.

Do I have an exact remedy for this isolated sect of the Avengers? No. But I find it hard to believe that not one of them could have dealt a quick bonk on the head to Peter Q to shut him up. Iron Man has all those gadgets in his suit and a predisposition to hate people talking at inopportune times, and even he apparently can’t ask F.R.I.D.A.Y to deploy the “STFU” protocol? If I were Tony Stark, my first act following the Big Click would have been to install tranquiliser darts in my knees.
