The Infinity Gauntlet[edit]

Nominator(s): Argento Surfer (talk) 15:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the 1991 comic book crossover that served as the inspiration for last summer's Avengers: Infinity War film and (presumably) this summer's Avengers: Endgame film. I expanded the article about a year ago, and the first FAC attempt didn't garner enough attention. It was promoted to GA in October 2018 and has been mostly stable since then. I'm hoping this can get through the process in time to be on the main page for the release of the new Avengers movie on April 28. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support from TheJoebro64[edit]

I supported at the last FAC, and my support still stands. This is a great and informative read and a model for how comic book articles should look. I'm beginning to not feel so good, though... JOEBRO64 16:12, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator notes[edit]

Despite an early expression of support, not much has happened here in the last month. Unless there is some significant commentary in the next few days, the nomination will be archived. --Laser brain (talk) 16:29, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Aoba47[edit]

  • I would add ALT text for the images in the body of the article.
    • I've added alt text for the Sleepwalker cover. I'm unsure about adding any to the two images of Thanos in the plot section. The purpose there is for readers to see the artistic differences for themselves.
  • I think this part (As the main piece of a crossover event, some plot elements) needs to be revised as it currently reads that the “some plot elements” are the “main piece of a crossover event”.
    • clarified
  • I have a question about this part (but she only speaks to him through her servants because he is not worthy of her attention). I am assuming that Mistress Death is viewing him as unworthy of her attention and that it is not just a fact? Would there be a way to clarify in the sentence that this is her thought/opinion? Let me know if that makes sense as I may be over-thinking it.
    • clarified
  • This is more of a clarification question for this part (When he is judged mentally unfit for power over the universe, he agrees to give five of the gems to individuals he determines to be best suited to protect them.). Do we know who these individuals are?
    • Yes, but only one of them gets mentioned in the plot summary. I've added a link to Infinity Watch, which is the name the team used. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • For this part (The 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War drew inspiration from The Infinity Gauntlet and depicts Thanos collecting the Infinity Gems with the intent to kill half of the universe.), should it be clarified that he successfully gathers all of the gems and kills half of the universe?
    • clarified
  • Should the article mention Avengers: Endgame?
    • I haven't found anything specific to Endgame that's concrete enough to use. I'll update after the film's release if need be.

Wonderful work with the article! Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this. Have a great rest of your week. Aoba47 (talk) 17:34, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments @Aoba47:. Please let me know if I've clarified to your satisfaction. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for addressing my comments. I support this for promotion. If possible, I would greatly appreciate any feedback for my current FAC. I understand if you do not have the time or interest. Good luck with the nomination this time around. You have put a lot of great work into this. Aoba47 (talk) 19:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
