Since the release of Avengers: Infinity War, fans have been taking aim at Star-Lord by blaming him for Thanos being able to wipe out half the universe with a snap of his fingers. After all, had he kept his emotions in check, the Mad Titan never would have made it to Wakanda and enacted his horrifying plan. Well, Joe Russo has now said that fans should probably hold Thor every bit as responsible.
"I would argue that the fan base could be equally upset with Thor, who chose to throw that axe into Thanos' chest and not his head," he reveals. "Because he wanted to tell Thanos that he got his revenge." It's true that the God of Thunder should have probably aimed for the Mad Titan's head rather than rubbing in the fact he had made good on his promise to make the villain pay for his actions.
"Had he gone for a kill shot, that snap would not have happened. These are choices that characters who are feeling immense pain make and hopefully, the audience can learn to empathize with those characters because they can grow through stories," Joe added. "Stories can teach us things and that we should try to see every choice from the perspective of the character that made the choice."
Going back to Star-Lord, the Russos said that there's no chance he'll get to redeem himself in Avengers 4 "because he is dead." That hurts! Do you think these heroes ended up making the wrong decisions?
