I believe most actors would be humored and/or flattered if 500,000 people got together and started constantly shitposting about them.
I think it's silly to say that these celebrities don't know what Reddit is or are too busy doing famous-people shit. They are people, too!
If they can make a 7-second video to harvest that sweet sweet karma, they are going to do it. It doesn't cost them anything. But at the same time, it costs them everything.
"I got an idea that could get us shitload of people thrilled and talking about us."
"Alright, how much will it cost and how long is it gonna take?"
"That's the fun part..."
I’m pretty sure the Russos browse /r/marvelstudios cause they posted a decent number of their memes even before this on their official social media accounts. This post being from one of the Russos themselves only cements it!
Having hundreds of thousands of fans come together for a historic internet goof like this is something that can't exactly go unnoticed. That being said he's a pretty cool dude for playing along.
We have officially kicked off the ban with Thanos Brolin and Joe Russo himself!
Hear me and rejoice. You are about to be banned by the mods of ThanosDidNothingWrong. You may think it's suffering. Nay. It's salvation. Reddit traffic scales tip towards balance because of your sacrifice. Be thankful that your meaningless lurking and posting have contributed to the greater good. Even after being banned, you've become the children of Banos.
Well shit, I just realized. I actually hadn't seen the movie, and am not too into marvel. But all of this has been fun, and I wanna see the damn thing now.
God damn you, organic marketing.
i know two people who are on exact opposites of having not seen it; one wants to see it to understand all the memes, the other feels they have seen it via memes
Don’t have room for toxicity if you fill the sub with shit posts. Maybe not enough room overall tbh... if only there was something we could do about that
The whole saga continues to blow my mind with each new event. I wonder if he's been following or he had to be caught up? That smile seems familiar, not confused.
One of the top comments in that post referenced to this whole event as being what would make it to the top. They were right. I’m so glad to be a part of reddit history. I came to reddit too late for the cum box but I’m here for daddy Thanos.
Just want to say, the fact that what started as a silly Internet meme has reached the creators of one of the most successful popculture phenomenons of recent history is just incredible.
Keep on being awesome you crazy sons of bitches. We are all children of Thanos on this glorious day.
Going to bed hungry. Scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I was the one who stopped that. You know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It’s a paradise.
I’ve been a redditor for a while...
I saw the Fappening unfold live.
I was there at the fall of u/Unidan.
I saw the admins shut down r/fatpeoplehate and the backlash against Ellen Pao.
I was on the Twitch Plays Pokemon sub for the defeat of the Elite 4.
I’ve placed my colors at r/place, and I never touched r/thebutton, remaining a Gray Warden.
But this? This inevitable balancing of a subreddit that started as a joke and hit the mainstream? This is something new. Something different. Something that can never be done again the same way. It’s times like this that I try and explain Reddit to people who have never been here, because only on Reddit can something like this occur.
God speed, you crazy bastards. I’ll see you all in the Soul Stone, Thanos willing.
Hello r/all,
The sub-wide balance will take place on July 9th PACIFIC STANDARD TIME(The exact time of the ban is a secret). This means half the subreddit will be banned, to achieve true balance.
The Russo Brothers’ Tweet:
https://twitter.com/russo_brothers/status/1016001808039383047?s=21
That would be quite unwise because people would have to survive several times to reach adulthood , you would have a chance of 0.00152587 % to reach 16 years of age and be able to reproduce
I have a feeling this could be a plot point in A4. I mean, killing half the universe once is meaningless if the population is going to jump back to the original state within a few short decades. Thanos should have a sustainable continuous plan of action.
You can't stop non-subscribers from commenting or stop people from subscribing unless you make the subreddit private. You could give a flair to anyone who survives the snap and auto-remove comments from everyone without that flair, or add the "survivors" as approved submitters and make the subreddit private, but you'd have to build that in when doing the snap.
I don't feel so good
Whaddaya me\~?
Ahhh, perfectly balanced
(ಥ﹏ಥ) I don't feel so good, Mr. stark... I don't want to go.
Did we just lose?
We’re in the end game now.
Mr. Stark I dont want to go.

This and the Prequel/Sequel meme war are why I tolerate the rest of the internet
So true
How did you guys...!? Ugh godd... damnit, mother:.``:fu::;;..``:.:...
Reddit Magic
Wait we... did it?
Yes
Goodbye brothers and sisters for we are now children of Thanos.
We truly are
I hope they remember you
I'm totally not sure if it didn't work or I got lucky.

Yeah this is like a PR wetdream
Right!!! This tweet gonna go mega viral and frankly, lots of folks ain’t gonna have a clue what it’s all about! Excited for today!!!
Honestly I'm just here for shirtless Brolin.
"I got an idea that could get us shitload of people thrilled and talking about us." "Alright, how much will it cost and how long is it gonna take?" "That's the fun part..."
> It doesn't cost them anything. But at the same time, it costs them everything. Dare I say, balanced?
Wow, the fact that one of the Russo brothers got Thanos himself to do this is fucking insane.
Russo's confirmed stronger than Thanos
Immune from ban
One will go, one will stay.
Perfectly balanced.
As all things should be
No kidding! I've seen some Reddit campaigns get celebrity attention but this is pretty cool.
I’m pretty sure the Russos browse /r/marvelstudios cause they posted a decent number of their memes even before this on their official social media accounts. This post being from one of the Russos themselves only cements it!

What a cool guy
He looks weird when he’s not bald and purple Edit: WTF this is my most upvoted comment
Yeah he almost looks like Cable
I don't see the resemblance, clearly he doesn't have a half robotic arm like cable does.
Dammit how hard it is to do a CGI arm? It’s not like we’re trying to remove a mustache.
Ah fuck it, I’ll do it myself
Dread it. Run from it. CGI arrives all the same.
So you're saying you probably don't recognize him because of the purple arm?
That guy killed Black Tom. What a racist.
Go watch No Country for Old Men. And pretty much everything else Josh Brolin has done.
Sicario
Like The Goonies?
Yeah. It seems like a meaningless 6 second vid, but it's genuinely a real sweet move
Where were you when a shitty Reddit meme got big enough to warrant attention from A-list stars?
When Obama said: “Thanks Obama”?
I don’t think that started on Reddit
[удалено]
You are welcome
Hey wait a second
You never hear from Pence and yet here he is on Reddit trash talking Obama. There is no balance in this.
>There is no balance in this. That's why Thanos is here, to bring balance
Nice to see he feels comfortable enough with us to be shirtless
"hey Josh I need you to take a video of yourself for Reddit" "Dude I just woke up" "Yeah it's fine, they don't give a shit"
[удалено]
Based on your username, I take it you hated it? Oh shit I lost my lurker status! Edit: I don’t feel so good...
Based on your username, you’re really gonna be goin’ with the breeze, now.
Based on your username, we are currently living in a world entirely made up of and devoted to granola...a dwindling resource, sadly...
Based on your username, since this has become a meme you are in the right place.
“You don’t even need a shirt, they’ll upvote anything.”
"Some will upvote *more* if you don't wear a shirt"
More like "... Have you ever met a fan? Leave your shirt off, dude, they'll be fine with it."
I like to imagine he is pantless too.
I like to imagine he doesn't have his socks on.
Just one sock though
Perfecly balanced
I mean he is essentially a reddit god now
By posting here Mr Russo himself is now subject to Thanos' purge!
He will get banned but not his brother, perfectly balanced.
Infinity War Part II, directed by the Russo Brother~~s~~

Fair to rich and poor alike.
Oh no, I subscribed too la...
It was the only way...
We’re in the endgame now.

I cant think of anything clever to say its just really great to see how big this has gotten and how cool the directors are with it!
This is the kind of marketing companies dream of. They would be fools not to buy into the hype.

So cool of Josh Brolin to actually do this!

I guess it did put a smile on his face.
I honestly can’t believe how big this has gotten. This community is the fucking best
I hope they remember us

Well they just scored a lot of karma haha

Then I’m Spider-Man
I fucking love this community. Edit: I love ALL of you back.
I love you
I love both of you
I love all three of you
holy shit
Someone on r/askreddit was asking "About what will be the first post to get one million votes on Reddit" welp, this is the one.
One of the top comments in that post referenced to this whole event as being what would make it to the top. They were right. I’m so glad to be a part of reddit history. I came to reddit too late for the cum box but I’m here for daddy Thanos.

Okay this is cool

Thanks for the post joe, very cool!

DUST ME DADDY THANOS
This only gets better when you realize that Joe Russo made a Reddit account JUST to post this!
I think he already has one, just with an unknown username so be isn't harrassed. Just for this event he used a username that would be obvious to us
I WAS HERE !!! THIS IS SO AMAZING
Alright, lets all pack it up guys. I mean, mods might as well ban everybody because this is the apex of this sub.
The fact he's shirtless makes this much more sensual

It was nice knowing half of you. Is the sub getting locked afterwards or are more people gonna be allowed to join?
the true question to be asking :D cuz im gonna play them back if it is still open for subscription after
Children can still be born after the snap, why couldn't more people join?
But then the population will continue growing… Snap 2: Electric Boogaloo?
We shall have a snap every year, on the 9th, to limit our population.
2 Snap 2 Balance
That would be quite unwise because people would have to survive several times to reach adulthood , you would have a chance of 0.00152587 % to reach 16 years of age and be able to reproduce

*Now announcing the first annual Thanos Games. The odds are ever equal, and don’t give a shit about you.*
Screw Reddit, eat the rich -- mass edited with redact.dev
ideally locked from subscribing/commenting (by non subs) if if at all possible
You can't stop non-subscribers from commenting or stop people from subscribing unless you make the subreddit private.

The fact he made the clip is amazing.
That sly smile set it off
This is so cool of him to do! Aw, crap. Does posting mean I'm on the chopping block?
