"I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative." - Nick Fury, Iron Man 1.
On May 2nd, 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe began with the release of Iron Man to theaters, and included a stinger that promised much more to come. Through cameos, Easter Eggs, teasers, and stingers galore, the movies that followed hinted at a looming climax of the sort many fans had only dreamed of for decades.
Now, it is (almost) here. On Friday, April 27th (and some Thursday evening showings, of course) the wait will finally end and Avengers Infinity War will release around the world.
Regarding spoilers: for now, let's allow for open discussion about the preceding movies, and the trailers that have been released to the public. Marvel has explicitly asked that fans not spoil the movie for others, so until its release let's keep actual spoilers tagged, for those who want to discuss things based on public knowledge. Once it gets in the wild we'll revisit that.
What this thread isn't for: actual spoilers, fandom bickering, more actual spoilers, etc.
Trailers (spoilered for space):

They are putting up posters you see on the left in this picture:
And when you remove the poster, there is an envelope congratulating you on daring to fight Thanos. This envelope contains free tickets to see Infinity War. And there is a second poster underneath the first that has the Avengers on it.
Freaking genius.
I don't even care.
They're the goddamned best.

Here's a question..... do we know where Fury is?
I worry that Panther, Cap, Widow, Falcon, Bucky will all be in Wakanda. Stark, Strange, Spidey in New York, and Thor Starlord n' crew in space and then New York without the big groups ever meeting.
You guys dont think they'd actually do that to us do you?
From the preview alone, that is confirmed not the case.
I don't recall seeing Stark. I do recall seeing the Hulkbuster in several of the trailers.
While we can assume he's in that suit, we can't know it for sure based just on the trailers.
Unless there's a shot of him (sans suit) that I've missed.
So now anyone who dies in Infinity War can stay dead forever... but it's OK because we get replacements for em. ;P
Are you sure?
Because i have a theory that it isn't Stark in that Armor there.
Good.
His original design in that post-credit sequence was shit.

I meant from the comics.
I would rather have him trying to woo death.
tbf we don't even know what he's doing in the film.
And some of the death wooing was just... Thanos being one of those "nice guys" who thinks taking a girl out to dinner means she owes him a blowjob.
Ugh.
Sounds about right.
Some things that work in comics wouldn't work in a movie, not that anyone here has actually seen the movie and can speak with much accuracy on how Thanos is portrayed.

I feel like making the concept of a "nice guy" into a villainous attribute would be a great way to maybe get it into their heads that its a bad way of thinking.
"You are being a Thanos" might stick with them more than describing them as a "nice guy."
If Thanos does not take at least a brief ride in his Thanoscopter then I, for one, will be appalled at the lack of regard for comic book canon.
For reals though, there's a part of me that's still utterly shocked that this film is actually happening. It's been led up to for ten God damn years, by eighteen other bloody films! That's crazy!
I have pre-ordered a ticket for the very first showing in town.
This morning on the way into work I was thinking about how much I'd love to see an Obidaih Stane cameo.
God do I hope I don't get spoilered, boy howdy that would suck.
I feel like they did that with Ragnarok, Dr Strange, and even Dark World to a degree.
MCU Thor specifically tones down the magic. Its fairly explicit that they're just ludicrously advanced aliens. Dr Strange was one movie, which isn't exactly a "groundwork".
Also Dark World? Never heard of it. No such place. Probably just made that up.
I have no proof of that, its just my hunch.
Normally I'd say he wants to kill half the universe because he's the bad guy but marvel villains have gotten a lot better recently.
I dont know man.
I dont know that anyone is 100% "a dick"
I mean technically Dr Strange has been in two movies and mentioned in a third.
I highly doubt we're gonna get the crush on Death but I sure would like to see more MCU Hela.
Mine's kinda the same, but I'm guessing it's going to be more along the lines of he's the last of a race of immortals and is basically the only one who can see things "long-scale" enough. Except I'm going to guess it's going to be more than just "running out of resources" and more "the use of power and high technology on such a high scale is going to lead to the heat death of the universe" or something like that. In the ads we see him talking about "bringing balance" - I think it's going to twist "balance" to sustainability - too many people are accelerating/causing the death of the universe, balance must be achieved so it can survive.
Basically, in my head, they're going to turn Thanos into a twisted environmentalist on a cosmic scale because he's one of the only beings who will be around long enough to see all the consequences.
oooo yea i like that.
The trailers are already showing some kind of emotion with Thanos. So.. we will see?
I think AND IT'S A POSSIBLE SPOILER IN CASE YOU MISSED THE TRAILER AFTER THE FIRST ONE OR ARE ON MEDIA BLACKOUT SO DON'T YELL AT ME OKAY?
So the snap is out, which goes along with the MCU being vastly depowered vs the comics
I interpreted this differently.
Thanos says that when he's done, half of Humanity will still remain. Presumably that's just because half of everyone, including Humanity, will be gone/dead/whatever. So I don't think it's about balancing the universe by wiping out ~3.6 billion Humans, simply that half of all beings will be gone and that will include half of humanity, among all of the other species.
I'm thinking the line is being said to Stark or another human, hence the emphasis on half of Humanity.
But I admit, I could be wrong, and it might be a misdirect of some sort.
