Thanos attacks Asgard

The Black Order is the name of Thanos's band of bad dudes. 

The Black Order in the comics is different than the group in the movies. 

Thanos goes about finding the Infinity Gems much more differently in the comics.

In the movie, Thanos wants to kill half of all life in order to help life sustain itself. In the comics, Thanos does it simply to appease his lover, Death. In the comics, this doesn't really work. 

A warning.

In the movie, Banner is sent to Earth to warn strange. In the comics, the Silver Surfer does this.

Attack of New York part II.

Iron Man never had a nanite suit in the comics, at least not until these movies.

In the comics, Dr. Strange has owned an infinity Gem, but not like how they portray it in the comics.

First time we get to see the Iron-Spider suit.

Thor meets the Guardians of the Galaxy

The Guardians plan to go to Knowhere.

Thor, Rocket and Groot plan to go to Nidavellir, which is one of the ten realms.

A Strange Love

This is the beginning of the Wanda/Vision love affair, which we will learn very well in Wandavision.

In the comics, Vision doesn't not have a connection to the Mind Gem.

This is a great highlight of how powerful Wanda is, in the movies and the comics.

Return of the Lost Soldier

Cap and the gang have been on the run for two years, after the events of Captain America: Civil War.

Some fans call this "Nomad-Cap" but I don't really see it.

A little girl named Gamora:

There are some connections to Thanos and Gamora, but it's a bit different in the comics. 

Tony, Stephen and the Kid from Queens

Death of Ebony Maw by a very familiar method.

A plan to save Vision:

There was always a push to make Shuri as smart, or smarter, than Tony Stark and Bruce Banner

It was pretty clear from this scene that Wanda would have to kill Vision.

Talk with us on Twitter.

Surtur of the comics is pretty close to what we see in Thor: Ragnarok.

Hela is the daughter of Loki in Norse mythology and the comics, but in Thor: Ragnarok she is Odin’s first born.

Odin has been thought to be dead several times in the comics and he’s been brought back, so his death in Thor: Ragnarok may not be the end.

The beam-me-up Bifrost seen in the Thor movies isn’t in the comics or mythology, instead Bifrost is the name for the Rainbow Bridge between Asgard and other realms like Midgard.

The Grandmaster held a Contest of Champions in the comics which is similar to what is seen in Thor: Ragnarok.

Planet Hulk is a storyline that Josh and Jay thought they were getting in Thor: Ragnarok but sadly didn’t.

Peter Parker usually goes it alone but has teamed up with the Avengers and the Fantastic Four at times. He’s the best superhero of all time.

Aunt May took in Peter after the death of his parents and raised him. She eventually learned he is Spider-Man.

The Vulture of the comics invented an electromagnetic harness that one could wear to fly and also increased the wearer’s strength. They improved on his costume quite a bit in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The Shocker in the comics teamed up with Doctor Octopus to take on the Avengers, and once fought alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy against aliens.

Aaron Davis isn't the original Prowler, but he's the most recent and has a direct connection to Miles Morales.

The Tinkerer makes tons of tech for Marvel villilains, just like in the movie.

The only hint is a scorpion tattoo on his neck, but the Scorpion did make it into his first Marvel movie.

Michelle is great in the movie, but she's not the MJ from the comics, nor does she have any relation to Mary Jane Watson.

Shang-Chi was raised to become an assassin by his father, Fu Manchu, in the comics. Shang-Chi defected after his first assignment just like in the movie.

Razor Fist is a general bad guy that has gone up against many heroes in the Marvel universe including Shang-Chi, Wolverine, Hawkeye, and Colleen Wing.

The Ten Rings was invented for the MCU and is a recent addition to the comics. The name is a nod to the Mandarin’s rings.

The Mandarin is a baddie that is associated with Iron Man in the comics. He doesn’t really have anything to do with Shang-Chi.

The Dweller-in-Darkness from the Shang-Chi movie is a descendent of Cthulu and first appeared in a Thor comic.

Death Dealer was a double agent working at the MI6 while also working for Fu Manchu until the head of MI6 hired Shang-Chi to take him out.

Links from the discussion…

Cagliostro’s name is speculated to be O-Bengh in the comics which is confirmed in the 4th episode of What If…?, however in the comics he sought eternal life and in the What If…? episode he was content to die.

Cthulu is an ancient evil being that was created by H. P. Lovecraft and is in the public domain.
