Avengers: Infinity War

The third Avengers movie is looking like a superhero bloodbath.

Avengers: Infinity War has finally released its first trailer, and the biggest takeaway is DEATH. The trailer is packed with imagery that implies the Avengers have finally met their match in Thanos, with basically every superhero getting a shot in which they’re bloody or screaming or basically just looking like they’re about to die.
So… are they? It’s possible there’s a bait-and-switch coming, and that Thanos is just going bring everybody to the brink of death. But with stakes that have been building for five years and counting—and a bunch of MCU contracts on the verge of expiring—it seems more likely than not that Avengers: Infinity War and its as-yet-untitled sequel will be a bloodbath for the Avengers themselves.

1. There was an idea…

The very start of the trailer gives goosebumps. Our superheroes repeat Nick Fury’s famous line from The Avengers, “There was an idea…” starting with Iron Man, as Vision, Thor, and Black Widow complete it, with juxtaposing visuals of some very important sequences leaving us with several questions.

2. Spider sense

We might have missed seeing much of it in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but Peter Parker’s senses are on full display this time. With Thanos’ voice in the background saying, “In time, you will know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperate that you’re right, yet to fail, all the same,” a giant wheel-like structure takes over the skies of New York. Peter’s hometown is under attack too.

3. Loki giving away the Tesseract

Have the people of Asgard been attacked? Is Loki walking through the corpses of Asgardians to offer the Space Stone to Thanos? This surely looks like a continuation of the post-credits scene in Thor: Ragnarok, when Loki fled with the Tesseract and (presumably) Thanos came in way of the ship carrying Asgard refugees.

4. Spider-Man in his new tech-suit

He might have turned down the new suit offered to him by Tony Stark to become an Avenger in Homecoming but looks like Spidey finally accepted it and is up in arms against the supervillain. We also see the same giant wheel in the background.

5. Vision getting ripped off his Mind Stone

“Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe.” Yes, it was no fun to see Vision’s Mind Stone getting pulled out of his head by someone from Thanos’ loyal. The yellow stone is what keeps the android alive. And Thanos needs it as much as Vision, to complete his gems collection! So, is it the end of Vision? It sure didn’t look good, not an ounce, and we are already sulking!

6. Avengers in Wakanda

Marvel’s trademark shot of showing its superheroes in all their might was visible in the trailer too. We saw Wakanda coming under an alien invasion as Captain America, Black Panther, Winter Soldier, Hulk, Black Widow, War Machine, and Falcon run towards the fight. Indeed, a hair-raising moment!

7. Thanos gets hold of two Infinity Stones

“But this does put a smile on my face”… It might do for Thanos, who has managed to get the two gems on his gauntlet – the Power Stone and the Space Stone. Loki definitely offered him the blue stone willingly. But how did Thanos manage to get hold of the purple one, which was until now kept safely in Xander at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy?
