The video discusses the differences and similarities between the Marvel movie "Avengers: Infinity War" and the comic book series "Infinity Gauntlet". The comic book series was written by Jim Starlin and published in 1991.
The main differences between the two include:
* In the comic book series, Thanos already possesses all the Infinity Stones, whereas in the movie, he collects them throughout the story.
* The motivations of Thanos also differ, in the comic book series, he is driven by his love for Death, whereas in the movie, he seeks to balance the universe by wiping out half of all life.
* Some characters, such as the Dark Order, Mephisto, and the female version of Thanos, appear in the comic book series but not in the movie.
* The movie features the Russo brothers' unique interpretation of the Infinity Gauntlet, whereas the comic book series features a more straightforward storyline.
The similarities between the two include:
* The basic plot of Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones and using them to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
* The Avengers' inability to stop Thanos and their need for a more powerful being to help them.
* The use of the Infinity Gauntlet as a plot device to drive the story forward.
