A: No, the process is irreversible. Even if you have returned it to its original location, you wouldn't be able to get the person back. In fact, it's not really returning the stone, more like put it back properly. The tribute soul for the soul stone will forever be sealed in that place, therefore Black Widow is gone forever.

Which confirms original Gamora can't come back, right?

I can’t believe you posted this.

I want it to be otherwise. I’d be a regular casual fan of the MCU and nowhere nearly as invested as I am with Star Wars. I just can’t see them finding a way to draw all three trilogies to such a satisfying momentous close as this was. I hope I’m wrong but right now I can’t see it happenning.

You’re right, and that’s because TLJ didn’t do as good a job as Infinity War. I still prefer Star Wars to Marvel.

Yeah but we can’t say good or bad a set up TLJ is until we see IX. In fact I don’t think the same rules apply. We’re working in a three act structure, EG is a culmination of 22 parts.
Empire is an awful set up for ROTJ if you haven’t seen ROTJ. Our hero failed his training, nearly killed by his arch enemy, Han is dead for all we know, the rebellion are back where they started, on the run, and the film sorta has no proper ending.

If we had the internet back in 82 and two years to wait for the finale, empire would be getting torn to shreds and maybe rightly so.

Same exact thing applies TLJ/Rise

also that is SUCH a valley-bro accent. woah.

Unrelated thought:

Gamora and Loki are dead. There are 'alternate' versions of them out and about now and maybe they'll go into that in Phase 4 but for now it seems pretty official that the OG characters are dead. Which means that if we do see them again, it will be new characters without the growth we saw over their respective films - like we saw when Gamora kicked Quayle's ass. Or balls, whatever. It's kind of cool how they have characters grow and change like that in these movies instead of just being one-note characters that just get a new movie instead of a proper sequel.

Speaking of growth, I saw somewhere that basically Ragnarok/Infinity War/Endgame was a mini Hulk movie since they can't make a solo series with him.

quayle's ass deserved to be kicked for not being able to spell potatoe correctly

You’re totally correct. That’s why I’m not as excited for RoS as I was for this one.

To say the least.
