When Thanos snaps his fingers at the end of the Avengers movie, half of the population of the universe wipes out.   Since Thanos is included in the Universe population, could there be a chance that he would die too?

The title is extremely vague, because this question contains HEAVY spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War, specifically the very last scenes of the movie. I can't reasonably put the entire question in spoiler tags, so consider this your warning.  At the end of the movie, Thanos pretty much wins. He gets all the Infinity Stones, Gamora and Vision have been brutally murdered, and the rest of the cast completely beaten. Nobody could stop him. So he executes his plan.  As far as I know (unless I missed something), his plan is to eradicate exactly half of all mortals in the universe, and from his own words, in a fair lottery (random chance), without taking into account a person's wealth, social status, or anything else. Pure chance decides whether you are sacrified for the greater good or live through this greater good (according to him).  During the movie, Thanos and one of his underling (Ebony Maw) say themselves that being sacrified is an honor and should be appreciated. As you would expect, most people do not appreciate being sacrified.  At the end of the movie, Thanos uses all 6 stones to do a finger snap, deleting half the universe.  The question is: Did he exclude himself from the targets? Was there a 50% chance that Thanos himself would disappear right there?  As far as I know, this is not explicitly answered in the movie itself. I am looking for similar situations in the comics (or in the movie if I happened to miss something) where you could know, or have an educated guess, as to Thanos being the kind of person who follows through to the end, even if it means dying, or the kind of person who gets scared of death when it comes down to it, and comes off as an hypocrite.  Some people also mentioned his "deal" with Strange would make him spare Tony from the snap too. I'm also wondering about that, if there is a link between the two, but it's not the focus of the question.  The reason I'm wondering is that Thanos seems to me like a very extreme utilitarist. Even though he might be wrong about the value of his plan (Do the remaining half really become happy?), in-universe it seemed successful at least once (Gamora's home planet), so his reasoning is not bad, even if the premise might be horribly flawed. Excluding himself from the snap would make it into a straight villain, while considering himself equal to the rest would make him into a wannabe hero with very very evil methods. This makes a huge difference in the interpretation of the movie and his character.

When Hulk snaps the Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers: Endgame, what exactly does happen?  Do the missing people just return or does the snap set time back to five years prior?  I was confused because if it just returns the missing people, why does no one seem to age? When Peter Parker returns to school, everyone is still the same age as he was but theoretically, they should be 5 years older.  My conclusion is that the new Spider-Man movie has to be set before Avengers: Infinity War, but maybe I'm missing something.

In issue 5 of the recent Incredible Hulk ongoing (vol. 3), it is revealed that      Dr. Doom   separated the Incredible Hulk and Bruce Banner. He does this using an adamantium chainsaw.   Image blurred to protect the innocent spoiler.  I was under the impression that adamantium was pretty much impossible to find and use outside of Ultron and the Weapon Blah program. Is it common enough that it's no big deal for the blurry fellow above to have gotten an adamantium chainsaw?

During the final battle in Avengers: Endgame, apart from the obvious death of      Tony Stark,    were there any other known protagonist casualties such as Asgardians, Sorcerers, Wakandans etc.

Couldn't Vader save his son and continue being a Sith Lord? Couldn't he have let Luke go and basically become the Emperor and have the Galaxy to himself? I don't think killing the Emperor to save your son will automatically convert you to the light side. Enlighten me.

In the "End Credit" scene of , we saw Maria Hill and Nick Fury driving in the street and then there was a message on the radio. Nick then asked Maria, "what is it?" Maria answers, "Multiple bogeys over Wakanda, more powerful than New York". After that, they turn into dust by the snap. So that means when they were talking, at the same time Thanos was trying to snatch the Mind Stone, or already did, and was ready to snap.   Now the main point; all those "space-crafts" carrying Thanos' armies landed over Wakanda much earlier. Then what were those "multiple bogeys" Maria referred to? What was going on over there at that moment?

Or "Why is Ant-Man the last movie of Phase 2, rather than Avengers 2?"  The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the series of movies involving characters from Marvel comics and produced by Marvel Studio/Disney Studio. The series of movies is decomposed into phases, that are different steps in the studios' production plan.   Phase 1, entitled Avengers Assembled, is composed of all movies from Iron Man (2008) to The Avengers (2012). This phase relates the origins of each Avenger and how these mighty superheroes came to fight as a team.   The narrative purpose of Phase 2 is less clear to me. At first, I thought it was about Thanos' story arc but Thanos doesn't seem to appear in Ant-Man, the last movie of the Phase 2. Actually, Thanos will most likely be the main antagonist of Infinity War, which is a part of Phase 3.   Therefore, what story arc will be concluded at the end of Ant-Man? I believe it can be answered before the movie is released, as the purpose of Phase 1 was clear before the release of The Avengers. Marvel Studio may also have commented about the organization of the movies. In other words, what narrative elements unify the movie of Phase 2?

In the scene on Titan with Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos said,     With all six Infinity Stones, I will simply snap my fingers and it would all cease to exist.   Then again, in the very first scene with Thor and Loki, when Maw gave Thanos the Space Stone, he said that no one has ever worn two Infinity Stones together.   So how come Thanos knew about the power of the Snap? Because as Wong puts it to Tony, the Big Bang hurled the six Infinity Stones across the universe.   So if no one had collected all the six stones before Thanos, then how did he know about the ability to "Snap"?

Prior to Avengers: Infinity War, we are introduced to and acquainted with five of the six Infinity Stones, and their powers are demonstrated in action and observed by the audience.   However, the soul stone was hidden, and was introduced in this movie, but I don't remember it being used in the movie.  So, what does the Soul Stone actually do?

In the Age of Ultron mid-credit scene, Thanos puts on some sort of a glove and says &quot;Fine, I'll do it myself.&quot; Which seems to imply his plan to get it done by others has failed. Did Thanos mastermind the events in the movie in any manner?

. Even poisons don't work on him. He seems immortal due to his regeneration powers.  Can he survive without oxygen while his body exists in full working state (I am not talking about skeleton-only Wolverine when his respiratory system is not available)?

I repeated the avengers movie yesterday in HD and saw something weird - were the Chitauri 'ships' living creatures? They kinda looked like they had flesh underneath all that metal stuff or did I just see my own stuff?  This is what I'm talking about

There is this one little thing that I don't quite get at the end of Avengers: Endgame.  After Thanos was defeated, Captain took the stones back to where they were originally taken to "correct" the timeline. However we see that Cap has the 6 stones in their "Raw" form, but that is not how all of them were taken.   For example in 1970 Tony didn't take the Space Stone but the Tesseract, so I assume they extracted the Space Stone in the present (by breaking the Tesseract like Thanos in the Infinity War movie?).   So how could Cap return the stone to the rightful place when he actually needed to return the Tesseract? Or am I missing something here...   The same goes for the Mind Stone, which was inside the Gem on the Staff Loki had in the first Avengers movie.

Thaddeus's  got me wondering about what exactly is the difference between Marvel's Ultimate universe (Earth-1610) and the Cinematic universe (Earth-199999)?  After all from what I've seen of the Marvel movies (admittedly not all of them) they seem to largely draw from the Ultimate universe anyway.

In Avengers: Endgame, is the snap simply dramatic, or does the wielder of the Gauntlet needs to follow this ritual to actually activate it?

Thor: Ragnarok ends with the remaining people of Asgard aboard a refugee ship that meets Thanos' ship. Avengers: Infinity War opens with      Thanos and his minions having commandeered the ship and several bodies can be seen on the floor.   This begs the question, what happened to these characters:   Korg Miek Asguardian extra #3 Valkyrie

I haven't see the movie yet, but in the , we can see Cap trying to lift Mjolnir in the humorous scene where every Avenger gives it a try.  Mjolnir even moves just a tiny bit and at this very moment we see Thor's smile disappearing. This, of course, is intended as a humorous and lighthearted scene.  But it got me thinking: why isn't Captain America worthy of Mjolnir? He seems to be the most "perfect" human being anyone can be: brave, not selfish, legitimate leader, prompt to sacrifice (as seen in the first movie, when he jumps on a fake grenade).  I ask this question in light of this very specific scene, but I'm interested in the Marvel Universe (and Marvel Cinematic Universe) as a whole. Maybe Captain America did wield Mjolnir once? Maybe he has some individual flaw I am not aware of that makes him unworthy?
