There are all kinds of spoilers up in this post.
Except this time, they lose.
Spider-Man breaks your heart (That Tom Holland kid is going places, I tell you.)
And half of Marvel’s superstar roster blinked out of existence with the snap of a finger.
Oh, and half of the entire universe too.
So yeah,Infinity Waris the kind of movie that conjures all kinds of questions, big and small.

Why Did Doctor Strange Give Thanos the Time Stone?
So this is a big one, but it’s also one of the easiest to explain away.
Why did or didn’t Doctor Strange [fill in the blank]?

Why did he give Thanos the Time Stone willingly?
Why didn’t he tell the other Avengers what happened in the single survival scenario?
Why didn’t he trap the Mad Titan in a loop like he did with Dormammu?

Why was this the only way to win?
If it was to get Thanos to put his guard down, that certainly seemed to work.
(You just know Thanos farms organic.)

Could he lose enough of his edge so that our remaining heroes can finally take him down?
Or is there more to Strange’s plan that we haven’t seen yet?
And what about the Gauntlet?

Who Died for Real?
This has got to be the biggest question of them all.
Which of our dearly departed Avengers are departed for good?

Those deaths aside, there are still a few key losses that just might stick.
Lets get the easy ones out of the way; Loki and Heimdall, they dead.
Of all the deaths inInfinity War, these two are most likely to stick.

Oh, and possibly the Collector.
His death wasn’t shown, but it sure was implied.
Vision is somewhere in the middle range of possible resurrections.

However, if time travel is what saves the day, then he might have a shot.
But if the Avengers only find a way to bring back those lost in the snap, hes toast.
That is unless Shuri somehow mapped or absorbed a piece of him during her attempted Infinity Stone removal.

After Vision, that brings us to Gamora.
“Yeah, its implied [that] its the Soul Stone,” Russo said.
How Are They Going to Fix This Mess?

So Marvel went and did aLeftovers.
Fucking heavy, man.
It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of how.

So let’s take stock of what they’ve got.
They’ve got two fearless leaders in Cap and Tony.
They’ve got a Hulk, maybe, probably (more on that later).
They’ve definitely got to have severe PTSD at this point, but that’s another story.
So time travel comes off as very much on the table.
Altogether, it looks like we might be getting anAvengers Foreversituation, which you canread more about here.
Could she be powerful enough to wield the gauntlet?
2andJames Gunnhas made it very clear he does not play a role in theInfinity Wararc.
If the apocalypse comes… beep Captain Marvel?
Why make such a grim prediction?
Well…
What Happened to the Other Half of the Universe?
So those people Thanos dusted might not be exactly “dead,” so to speak.
It then stores those souls in the Soul World, an idyllic alternate dimension within the stone.
But what if you had to?
Trouble is, we haven’t met anyone with that power.
Remember when the Power Stone almost obliterated the Guardians?
And Peter was half-Celestial.
Perhaps Captain Marvel will be able to wield the stones, but I have my doubts.
A soul for a soul.
Where Is Valkyrie?
Seriously, where the hell is Valkyrie?
You just know they didn’t do that.
like tell me they didn’t do that.
While we’re at it, what happened to Korg and Miek?
We’ll probably catch up with this delightful crew later down the line (perhaps inAvengers 4?).
After all, they said Thanos killed half the Asgardians right?
That’s his deal.
Alternately, they could have been sent off on a side mission/escape pod/etc when Thanos' ship approached.
However, theInfinity Warco-director declined to confirm Korg’s status.
Where are Hawkeye and Ant-Man?
Fans spent the bulk of theInfinity Warmarketing campaign wonder where the hell Hawkeye was.
Except he wasn’t in it.
Like, at all.
Will Clint and Scott’s family’s get dusted in the snap?
How’s Bruce Gonna Get His Hulk Back?
After his first fight with Thanos on the Asgardian refugee ship, Hulk goes into hiding, screaming no!
and throwing little green tantrums when Bruce tries to force him out.
He wouldnt even fight the Black Order.
But inInfinity War,the dynamic flips and their relationship drastically evolves.
“The anger is no longer the only reason that he turns into the Hulk.
This is the beginning of a three-movie arc,” he explained.
So how does he find peace with the Other Guy now that hes lost his edge?
Can they find a partnership beyond the constant battle for control?
Will the new conflict drive them to full-blown war with each other?
