No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Would they all still exist?
I can't think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth's population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.
Edit: I didn't really think of GotG as "Avengers", but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they're somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don't know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I'd assume he's in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).
Draxx believed he was invisible if he stood still, he even thought he was invisible while eating a bag of chips. I'm not sure he's gonna make it.
Let the man try!
naw I'd say Drax, Starlord maybe, and Hulk if he was in Hulk mode are all written to be comically stupid
but yeah that's probably it, most would survive
There's a lot of generosity toward Thor in this thread. And I think that's great.
Even though he's going to rule Asgard someday, while his brother is clearly more qualified. /s
@pwnicholson@lemmy.world
Banner is still around, but Hulk is gone.
Maybe Thor, too.
Quinn definitely is gone. So is Drax and many characters from GOTG.
There are plenty of dumb avengers, though a lot of them have not been featured in the movies yet.
Drax isn't stupid, he's just hyper-literal. If it comes off as stupidity, it might be poor writing or some assumptions made.
He’s not just hyper-literal, he is slow to adapt, rarely displays any strategy beyond direct attack (which gets them into trouble repeatedly) and, you know, thinks he can’t be seen because he’s very still. Drax is loyal and courageous, but intelligence is not among his gifts.
Quinn?
Quill?
Starlord. I always mess his real name up 😖
Yeah. The interesting money seems to be on Thor. Could break either way. Place your bets everyone.
It wouldn't shock me if Hawkeye disappeared. But then again who'd notice?
Clint isn't a stupid guy. In the show, he's hard of hearing, which some people might mistake for being dumb if they saw him on the street, for example. But remember how scary he was in The Avengers. Guy could shoot an arrow into the wind and knew it would blow up an engine. You know there's some crazy subconscious math going on there. Also, his counter-terrorism rampage in Endgame wouldn't have been nearly as successful if he wasn't a great planner and tactician.
I hadn’t considered this. You’re right. This is a man with no powers whatsoever. Meticulous preparation was essential. A mindless killing spree would have been suicidal.
This makes that scene much more unsettling.
He would definitely be gone.
