Gamora Causes a Huge Infinity War Plot Hole?

Infinity Waris a massive achievement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie has been a huge hit with critics and fans alike, but there are some faults with the storyline that have basically been overlooked because of the grand scale of the movie. Which leads us toGamora’s arcinInfinity War. Some are arguing that her addition to the story is actually a giant plot hole, while others maintain that her story was properly used. There are major SPOILERS forInfinity Warbelow, so read ahead at your own risk.

TheGuardians of the Galaxyplay a large role inInfinity Warright from the start when they are introduced to Thor after Thanos destroys the Asgardian refugee ship. Gamora and Nebula were always going to have more at stake than the rest of the new crew because of their close ties to the Mad Titan, which makes Gamora’s decision to go directly to Thanos a bit fishy. The Guardians split up, half of them go with Thor to build a new weapon while Gamora volunteers to go directly to Thanos, knowing better than anybody what he’s capable of.

This is theplot hole that MCU fans have been discussing. Why would Gamora go directly to Thanos, knowing everything that she does? The character practically gives Thanos the Soul Stone in exchange for Nebula’s life. Now, the storyline ofInfinity Waras a whole moves forward because of Gamora’s sacrifice, making it possible for Nebula to end up on Titan with Iron Man after Thanos snaps his fingers in Wakanda. Sure, Gamora’s arc may seem a little clunky, but it pushes the movie forward, raising the stakes and showcasing how ruthless Thanos truly is.

Gamora’s sacrifice is an important one for the tone ofInfinity War. She knows her fate but wantsStar-Lordto kill her if she end up being taken by Thanos, which he tried to do. However, Thanos had already secured the Reality Stone by that time and decided to plot a trap that would play off of the emotions of Gamora. Thanos' plan works out and he ends up getting the Soul Stone after torturing Nebula in front of Gamora. While some cry that Gamora’s sacrifice is a plot hole, others just call it continuity within the MCU.

Nebula and Gamoracement their sisterhood bond in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which really goes a long way in setting up the events inInfinity War. While the story may not be perfect, it does an excellent job of tying 19 movies together and utilizing an incredible number of superheroes all in one place. As for the fate of Gamora, that isn’t clear at this time. Some MCU fans believe that she is trapped in the Soul Stone along with the rest of the disintegrated superheroes. We’ll just have to wait and see what the Russo Brothers have concocted for the still untitledAvengers 4next May. you’re able to read more about the supposed Gamora plot hole over atDigital Spy.
