Major spoilers ahead forAvengers: Infinity War.
To recap, Thanos (Josh Brolin) basically wins the war when he collects all six Infinity Stones.
The ending ofInfinity Warmakes the split in the audience feel profound.
There are two kinds of people that go to see Marvel movies.
These two audiences will not perceive the ending the same way.
The first group, the casual viewers, will probably be left dumbstruck by what they just saw.

Black Panther just got his own movie!
And now hes dead?
That cant be it!

And the die-hard audience will say, Spider-Man literally has a movie coming out in July 2019.
Theres no way hes dead for good.
I just depressed the hell out of myself by writing this paragraph.

Theyd, along with viewers, would also probably be somewhat disappointed if half of Wakanda was now dust.
Its a gut-punch to see all of these characters die, but its more like a thought experiment.
What if half of all Marvel superheroes up and died suddenly?

Well, wed be really sad.
We also have to wonder what kind of movieAvengers 4will be.
Will it be a dour movie since half the world is dead?

Thehowis almost irrelevant because the deaths were really waiting on havent arrived yet.
And I certainly wouldnt be surprised if the dusted characters are brought back to life one way or another.
And yet that lack of impact rendersInfinity Waroddly inert.

It doesnt have an ending, and the cliffhanger only exists to be undone.
The question forAvengers 4isnt, How will they bring these characters back?
Since the trailer is fairly upbeat, its safe to assume thatAnt-Man and the Wasptakes place beforeInfinity War.
Well have to wait until March 2019 to find out what that exact connection may be.
