sometimes literal adaptations are not
the best adaptations hey welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
differences between the infinity war
movie and comic before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
the major discrepancies between the
blockbuster Avengers infinity war movie
and the comics upon which it’s based
number 10 the name
[Music]
it seems a bit confusing but actually
the film is not based on the 1992 the
infinity war comic written by jim
Starlin rather the bulk of the plot that
makes up the blockbuster movie is taken
from the Infinity Gauntlet story arc
which was released a year earlier and
also penned by Starlin the infinity war
comic is quite a different story to the
one we’ve seen play out in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe but no doubt it’s the
better title of the two comics and
likely to draw more butts to the cinema
number nine Silver Surfer in the movie
earth is warned of Thanos his arrival in
a slightly different way than the comic
with the Hulk
crash-landing into dr. Strange’s sanctum
and alerting the world that Thanos is
[Music]
this scene is lifted directly from the
Infinity Gauntlet comic with the main
difference being that it’s the Silver
Surfer who crashes into strangest
sanctum and warns of Thanos arrival not
Hulk also in the comic the Silver Surfer
plays a large role in bringing down the
mad Titan alongside the heroes of Earth
number 8 no Adam warlock this central
figure in the comics is not in the movie
although we do know he’s coming to the
Adam warlock is crucial to the plot of
the Infinity Gauntlet comic as he’s the
holder of the soul gem and is the one to
rally the remainder of Earth’s forces
against Thanos after the mad Titan kills
half the universe’s population so his
exclusion from Avengers infinity war is
disappointing but hopefully we’ll see
how he fits into the MCU sooner rather
than later
number 7 roster of heroes seeing as the
storyline from the comics had to be
greatly condensed to fit into a two and
a half hour film it was no surprise to
learn that not all of our favorite
superheroes would be included in the
cinematic take of the battle against
Thanos like we’ve mentioned Silver
Surfer and Adam warlock were no-shows
but the film also left out she-hulk Fire
Lord
Nova Submariner cloak Cyclops Wolverine
quasar Millie you get the idea
granted the film did bring the guardians
of the galaxy into the fight to make up
for it so we shouldn’t complain
all right guardians don’t forget this
might be dangerous so let’s put on our
mean faces number 6 Stormbreaker Thor’s
new weapon in the movie has a pretty
creative lineage but it doesn’t draw on
the comics for inspiration after his
trusty Mjolnir was destroyed by a sister
hella in thor ragnarok Odin’s son needed
a new flashy weapon for Avengers
infinity war and he got one in the form
of storm breaker but in the comics Thor
never wielded Stormbreaker
in fact that weapon belonged to Thor’s
allied beta ray bill who managed to beat
Thor in combat and lift-me only ER
before having his own weapon crafted in
the movie Stormbreaker looks very
different but we’re not complaining
since Thor’s epic return with his new
weapon in hand
was jaw-dropping
number five the endings and then what I
finally arrest and watch the sunrise on
a grateful universe after the snap which
we’ll get into shortly the film ends
with Thanos’s bright smiling face his
goal of wiping out half of all life in
the universe achieved in the comics
however the reason he’s smiling is
because he’s happy to be left alone as a
farmer after faking his own death pretty
different huh there’s no doubt the movie
needed a major cliffhanger to keep
people interested for what’s to come
next and by rolling credits after such a
devastating series of events may have
greatly succeeded while also paying
[Music]
number four the black order smile for
even in death you have become children
of Santos the black order was only
introduced years after the Infinity
Gauntlet storyline making their first
full appearance in 2013’s prelude to
infinity and thus their inclusion in the
movie is yet another case of borrowing
elements from the larger Marvel Universe
and like a lot of the elements the movie
borrowed the black order largely works
on the big screen but its importance was
greatly diminished to fit the film’s
runtime thus a lot of fans were
disappointed with the order’s portrayal
and minimized role and hope to see a
much more powerful version of the
children of Thanos number three
gomorrah’s role
[Music]
gamora please a significantly greater
role in the movie than she does in
Infinity Gauntlet which her name in fact
she doesn’t make it past the first issue
as she is among the victims of the snap
Thanos his adopted daughter has been a
mainstay of the Marvel Cinematic
Universe since guardians of the galaxy
won us over in 2014
so not only makes sense that she gets
much more screen time than in the comics
as fans have come to love her character
played by Zoe Saldana though she is
killed by Thanos in the movie you can
expect that she’ll still have a role to
play in The Avengers for since she’s
listed in the film’s credits flashback
time-travel resurrection it’s too early
number two the snap oh snap
it’s the snap yep That moment when
Thanos snaps his fingers and instantly
wipes out half the universe the incident
itself is similar in the movie in the
comic like how different can snapping
fingers be but in the movie the snap
happens at the end whereas in the comic
it’s at the beginning in the Infinity
Gauntlet
the snap really sets in motion all the
events that will take place in the
Infinity series but in the movie it
serves to bring everything to a close
and leave the film on one hell of a
cliffhanger though the timing is
different the snap works well in both
number one Santos’s motivations with all
six stones I could simply snap my
fingers they would all cease to exist
and I call that mercy in the movie
thanassis motivations are pretty
straightforward kill off half the
universe’s population to prevent running
out of resources in the comic however
it’s a little more complicated than that
since childhood Thanos was in love with
death the female embodiment of death
that is the mad Titan spends a great
deal of his time and energy trying to
woo death and what better way could
there be to win over her heart than by
wiping out half of all life in the
universe honestly we can’t think of any
