I'm not complaining though. Honestly, Marvel has had the patience and trust in their own stories that they deserve all of what's happening. The fact that we can look at a trailer like that and have emotional reactions to all of the characters outside of "who's that?" Or "that something something guy looks cool. Where did this invasion come from, why and why is that dude named after a 70's rock band?" We have reactions like "Cap's back and badass! Vision and Wanda getting close. Wondering if there will be a love triangle between Banner, Widow and Barnes. Ah sweet that guy they've been teasing for a decade showed up. I know who he is because they've spent time on his development. Oh those gems, they mean something and I know that if he fills that glove with them ####'s gonna go down."

I really hope (expect) a few Avengers bite the dust in the next two films. If at least two major players don't go down I'll be disappointed in Marvel's lack of guts.
I expect that the Avengers as we know it will be pretty much toast.

I still think the key is that Thanos can't complete the Infinity Gauntlet, because if he did, he'd basically be an unbeatable god who could not only freeze time but go back in time to fix his mistakes.

I mean lets look at what the Stones are supposed to do

Tesseract = I basically the Space Stone, allows the user to exist in any locations, move objects through realities and teleport the owner anywhere

Mind Stone - The one in visions head, gives the user the ability to control minds and project energy, the Mind Stone enhances intelligence gives immense knowledge and can create life

Reality Stone (Aether) - can turn anything to dark matter and suck the life out of mortals.

Power Stone (Purple from Guardians) - capable of destroying entire civilizations just by touch

Time Stone (Doctor Strange) - allows user to see into the past and future, slow down or speed up or reverse time. grants user the total control over the past present and future.

Soul Stone (yet to be seen) - allows the user to control and alter living and dead souls, grants user control over all life in the universe.

So I expect the next two movies is the race for the Soul Stone, if Thanos gets it he's unbeatable.
