How Did Peter Quill Get His Ship

Warning: This article contains MAJOR Avengers: Endgame spoilers. We accept a completely spoiler complimentary review right here.

Fourth dimension travel has a tendency to confuse everything, and Avengers: Endgame has no shortage of time travel and confusion. Gamora is the subject of much of it, and calculation her decease in Avengers: Infinity War , not to mention the curveball of the Soul Stone into the mix doesn't aid matters. Nosotros'll try and sort out the new/old Gamora'south place in the MCU here.

When Nebula travels back to Vormir and Morag in 2014, Thanos and Gamora are able to access her data thank you to a convenient time travel quirk that links her cybernetics with her "previous" self's cybernetics. Of course, they fix out to attempt to foil the plan of the remaining Avengers, which results in 2014 Thanos and Gamora arriving in "our" present. 2014-era Gamora, without the do good of time and her experiences with the Guardians of the Milky way, is firmly pro-Thanos and sees present-day Nebula every bit a traitor and a coward. The longer they talk, though, the more intrigued Gamora seems past this version of her sister.

One of the more than satisfying parts of Gamora's story in Avengers: Endgame came when she asked the present-twenty-four hour period Nebula nigh her relationship with her sister. In her typical style, Nebula was honest about both how far the fraught relationship had come, likewise as the multiple times she had tried to kill Gamora between 2014 and her present reality. Somewhen, Gamora comes effectually to "our" Nebula'due south style of thinking, indicating that, much like nosotros saw in the events of the start Guardians of the Galaxy movie, she didn't need much of a push to meet the calorie-free well-nigh her male parent.

In a marked divergence from the relationship we've come to know and love, when Gamora watched present-day Nebula kill her 2014 counterpart in front of her, she didn't seem especially concerned. Contrast that with the pain in our Gamora's voice in Infinity War when she pleaded with Thanos not to torture Nebula. She begs him to go out Nebula lone, her voice cracking. When she eventually gives up the location of the Soul Stone to relieve Nebula's life, Gamora goes to Nebula's side and puts a hand to her sister's cheek to comfort her. I can't imagine these two characters doing this when they showtime met, and it'southward jarring to go dorsum there over again and then rapidly thanks to this "past" version of Gamora. It would have been great to see Endgame acknowledge this dichotomy more directly, whether past highlighting Gamora'due south interiority or past having Nebula react or comment on her blase demeanor in some way.

2014 Gamora's indifference to her sister's decease seems like a sign of only how damaging information technology was to be raised by Thanos. While nosotros've heard Nebula and Gamora refer to each other as sisters, it's usually with a sneer, and Gamora's disregard for another life is disturbingly definitive proof that they never acted like it, in any normal sense of sisterhood. No ane was expecting a warm and fuzzy upbringing from a genocidal cosmic warlord, simply during Infinity State of war 's flashbacks information technology seemed like Thanos had true love and amore for Gamora and whatever his faults, killing her in exchange for the Soul Stone did toll him something.

By Avengers: Endgame 's ain fourth dimension travel rules, nowadays-day Nebula's pick to impale her 2014 antecedent did not erase herself from the narrative. This makes killing her quondam self less of a cede but no less weird or confusing. Referring back to Tony and the Hulk's attempt at parsing the rules of time travel, this seems to autumn nether the thought that going back in time doesn't alter the present, but rather creates a new branch in the timeline.

When Tony Stark snapped with the Infinity Gauntlet and removed Thanos' army from existence (at the price of his ain life), Gamora wasn't turned to dust. And so where did she go at the cease of the battle? Since she doesn't specially know any of these characters and isn't close to her sis, it'south no big surprise that she noped correct out of the state of affairs. But what we exercise know is that Peter Quill is now looking for her (even though she didn't recognize him and kicked him in an uncomfortable place). Back on his ship, before Thor walked in, Quill was running a search for Gamora and coming up empty. The Guardians are a family, and I imagine that feeling will only grow after the events of Infinity War and Endgame . If the balance of the crew knows there's a Gamora out there, even if she's not the Gamora who knows and loves them, I imagine they would want to track her down, just like Quill.

Is it possible that the "original" Gamora is somehow exist trapped inside the soul stone, and could be restored to Gamora's 2014 physical self? When Thanos snapped in Infinity War , he spoke to the childhood version of Gamora. It might accept been some kind of hallucination, just it seemed like it was through the catholic power of the Soul Stone. Might her essence still be in there somehow, waiting for the right method to release it, and a physical manifestation it can inhabit? We'll accept to wait until Guardians of the Milky way Vol. iii to find out.

If, like many fans, yous viewed all pre-snapture Infinity War deaths every bit permanent, so getting the 2014 Gamora is a 2nd chance at having a character we love. Seen some other way, she has literally regressed back to a time when she had even less character development than right now. Still thinly drawn Guardians -era Gamora was, we at to the lowest degree had some understanding of her motivations, whereas we know little about why this Gamora was loyal to Thanos and what acquired her to abandon that loyalty. Was it the hope of a deeper relationship with this version of her sister, spurred on by present-day Nebula'due south uncharacteristic (to her) honesty? Or perchance the prospect of a life out from under Thanos'south pollex?

I'1000 hoping that when nosotros see her next, we get more from Gamora than just a deadly, highly capable woman who is not to be trifled with. As i of few women in the MCU I want to love Gamora. But later on watching her in then many movies we know so little well-nigh her other than the generic "badass" label, one that is practical to practically every adult female in an activeness film. Now that she's back to her 2014 vintage, we know even less nearly her. I'm trying to be optimistic that this is somehow a good thing, an opportunity for a re-do on developing her character. I'd similar to know what she disliked about her old life and what she's hoping for in her new i. What she was looking for when she held out a paw to a adult female she didn't know but who called herself her sis, and why she left that same woman without saying a word. Does she always recollect almost the people she used to injure, the father she betrayed? What does it experience similar to be a adult female out of time, but only just? For at present, we tin can only speculate and hope for the best.
