Read the damn Infinity series, the movie is doing a decent job keeping with the original story.

Won't ever do this, but I did see the movie.

Correct me if I'm wrong but
1) Hulk turned into a pussy because he got beat and refused to come out to play, right?
2) 'Star Lord' Sacrificed half of humanity because he teared up over his gf? (They were removing the glove until he blew it, no?)
3) Thor lost half of humanity as well because he got in a chest shot instead of a head shot, right?

otherwise it was pretty compelling story. Vastly and wonderfully grandiose,

small observations:

Too much battling with the 'Venom'-like dogs
Regardless of the business side of it, FF, Galactus and The Watcher are conspicuous in their absence. You could even just have a throwaway line saying that the FF and The Watcher are countering Glactus' attempts to fold the universe into a coin purse. Anyway, what is the hierarchy - are those stones more powerful than The Watcher?

1) I think the Hulk turning chicken shit does two things. First, Thanos with gauntlet was nerfed quite a bit for the movie. Beating down the Hulk decisively was probably the only way to establish he's still very formidable. Second, in the aftermath of the comic Infinity Gauntlet, the Hulk is shrunken down to bite size and has a few adventures in the sewers of New York. This is just a less dumb way to take him out of the action. Thanos's goons wouldn't have been much trouble for a non-emo Hulk.

2) Yes Star Lord shat the bed.

3) That's what Thanos said so I guess I believe him. Again he's nerfed. Comic Thanos + Infinity Gauntlet knows everyone's thoughts before they know them and can't be touched unless he allows it.

The stones are way more powerful than a Watcher. The infinity gauntlet puts you in full control of your universe, but not every universe in Marvel's multiverse. In the Marvel hierarchy this puts a being with a fully blinged out gauntlet somewhere below the Living Tribunal but above Marvels' other cosmic entities including Galactus. In the comics where cosmic entities do more stuff, Thanos imprisoned most of them with the gauntlet. He briefly replaced Eternity itself, which I guess is like becoming the Universe. The limits of the Infinity Gauntlet stop when they bump up against the Living Tribunal. This is a neutral entity concerned with keeping some kind of order in the Multiverse. You have to start lawyering with them if your ambitions get too big.
