This can't be a coincidence
It can and is
whats this?
When did Dr. Strange have the infinity gauntlet?
sick of posters assuming I know what something is. All I see is Franco with some bejeweled hand that resembles that capeshit maguffin. What is it and where can I read more. Also fuck you
wow the mcu is so brilliant it ties thanos to a real life nazi this is why i love these movies.
It's a relic from a Saint that died in 1582.
That Franco used as his talisman and said it helped him to win the Civil War.
>Franco
>Nazi

He wasn't a filthy socialist
Not only in the Marvel Universe there are relics that many pursue because of the supposed powers they grant. Thanos, one of the great villains of Marvel, did everything possible to get a golden gauntlet that thanks to the six Gems of Infinity made him practically invincible. A story that is now in the forefront for being the main enemy of the company's cinematographic universe. But, what if the dictator Franco had already tried before?
It sounds like a Series B science fiction story, but it has a real base. According to the legend, Saint Teresa of Jesus was exhumed ten months after her death, dating from 1582. Her body was incorrupt, so the parish priest in charge decided to cut off his hand and give it to the Carmelite nuns as a sacred relic. The hand was inserted in a kind of golden silver gauntlet with precious stones embedded in it.
Time passed and the gauntlet went from convent to convent until reaching the beginning of the 20th century in Ronda, in Malaga. But during the Civil War, the republican side attacked several churches, among them the one of the Carmelitas, and took control of the relic, to which they had baptized like incorrupt Hand of Santa Teresa de Jesus. When the city of Málaga took the troops of the national side, they found the piece and took it to Valladolid, where it was exposed together with other reliquaries.
>Killed communists and socialists
...and he was the bad guy?
And this is where Francisco Franco comes into play. The dictator asked for an ecclesiastical authorization to take the relic to his own house, in El Pardo Palace. Although the Carmelites asked her to return it to him, he refused, stating that he would keep it to continue to venerate her. Her devotion to the relic, to which she conferred supernatural powers, was such that, in addition to sleeping beside her, she took her away on some of the trips she made across the peninsula. They even say that when he fell ill in 1975 he asked that his room be converted into an intensive care unit so as not to be separated from it. After his death, the relic of Saint Teresa of Jesus returned to Ronda, being currently in the convent of La Merced.
Taking into account the great aesthetic similarity between the uncorrupted Hand of Saint Teresa of Jesus and the Infinity Gauntlet, it is not so farfetched to think that Jim Starlin heard about it and served as inspiration to write the saga he published in 1991. The two relics are visually very similar, the two supposedly confer supernatural powers and both have been the object of devotion by two characters eager to submit everything around them.
>BTFO'd colonizing brits, russians, and germans
>gave power back to the people once he was done
>the bad guy
okay resetra time to go back
wow the mcu has such depth how did they even think to come up with this.
Franciso Thanos.
no lol
nazi's weren't socialists, looking this guy up he was just as fascist as the nazi's. to think he ruled over spain with an actual iron fist.
>Civil War
that's not the Infinity Gautlet movie though.
>franco
>fascist
he was right wing. but not nazi, nor fascist. his dictatorship's focus was religion and national order, not workers and nationalism which are the main focus in fascism and nazism. he even betrayed real fascist equivalents like Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of Falange. He also betrayed other groups like the Carlists.
In the end he kept all power to him and his friends. Franco was the necesary "evil" that happened because of Spanish government weakness in stopping the communists, socialists and anarchists in running rampant around the country burning churches and beheading nuns and priests.
Is it a monkey paw then?
might as well post "I am a retard" so people don't waste their time with you.
>Franco
>Necesary evil
I get why you people like Trump but Franco is another level of scum
Grandson of commie detected.
El Caudillo would BTFO Thanos
He did win his war, not like Thanos.
fuck that backstabbing faggot
>I get why you people like Trump but
I don't like Trump. The Spanish republic was weak. It was basically a failed state. And it can easily be seen if you know how the civil war ended up. The republicans were forced to ally with anarchists and communists who publically admit that they want to destroy the government. So in the end, had the republicans won, spain would be so shattered that it would result in another civil war within
Spain, which would probably translate to a balcanized Spain today.
Your reminder that Francoist cinema was kino
>tfw no more historical epics
>tfw no more Marcelino Pan y Vino
>tfw no more Paco Martinez Soria comedies like El Turismo es Un Gran Invento
>tfw no more 60's musicals
>tfw no more surrealistic masterpieces like La Cabina
Based
Jose Antonio was a faggot and weak that wanted to stop the war and be an intermediary and talk with the commies. Fuck him. He was a half commie too. "National-SINDICALISM"
Oh wow. What is that?
>He was a half commie too
>t. neoshit
Theres a good reason why jwoke Franco regime lasted so long. He have spear. grail, and gauntlet.
You forgot the football movies
>Literally the only Fascist that survived the Second World War.
>He ruled the country for 36 years and died in his own bed.
>He is loved by the majority of Spaniards that lived during his rule.
>He avoided to bring Spain into WWII and told Hitler that he was not entering the war. That he will only help with logistic support.
>Hitler ended up shooting himself in a dirty bunker and his body burned while Germany was being raped and destroyed by commies.
>Franco built using the commie prisoners as labor force a giant tomb for him and is still there.
>Now, 44 years after his death Socialists want to take out his body from there but many people are opposing it and maybe they lose the elections tomorrow and they can't do it.
The power of the Uncorrupted Hand of Saint Teresa of Jesus is still protecting El Caudillo even now.
PSOE is going to lose tomorrow. HARD. Not only because of Franco, but yeah, that pissed a lot of people off too.
It is pathetic: he's dead and buried for 4 decades and some clueless politicians want to drag out his bones because they aren't able to do better things with their time as governing party.
God I want PSOE to hit rock bottom. I hope Vox gets tons of votes desu. If it weren't for that backstab that Ciudadanos gave people when they started with the feminist bullshit like PSOE and Podemos I would have wanted them to win,
It's funny. When Vox wants to remove that retarded law that is the LIVG, it's populist. When PSOE wants to waste time and money to move Franco elsewhere because some people want it its not. Reminder that "populist" is a buzzword.
Mr Orwell I don't feel so good
PSOE AND PP deserve to get crushed tomorrow.
PSOE for being a retarded "progressive" party that's ruining Spain and destroying the peaceful coexistence. Everything has to be us vs them. (Women vs Men, left vs right, etc) They just stir shit up.
PP is an embarassment full of cowards. They had 6 years to abolish all that shit that PSOE left behing, but yeah, it's just easier to sit and wait until your turn it's over and avoid tackling problems.
Also, both parties are corrupt as shit.
Friendly reminder that if the left does it it's good.
>calling a gay minister a faggot
>being corrupt
>fucking underaged girls
>wasting money on prostitutes
>calling people "negro"
...
The list goes on and on. I always try to be moderate but I can't stand that leftie hypocrisy. I really hope PSOE gets fucking slaughtered tomorrow.
Vote podemos
Even if it were the only option and not casting my vote would be a capital punishment, I'd prefer the bullet.
>podemos
Ser Venezuela
