History Fridge / AvengersInfinityWar

* Likely after this scene is one of Thanos placing the Space Stone/Tesseract to Thanos. However that was not the first stone Thanos had. The first one was the Power Stone, also known as the Orb, which had been in the possession of the Nova Corp on Xandar. If Thanos has it....said mass of dead people around Loki will not be Thanos's first victims this film. The question then becomes if Thanos took out the Nova corps, or the ''entire planet'', to get the stone. Neither options is pleasant.

* Another scene in the trailer shows Ebony Maw treading across ''dozens'' of dead people, before Loki fearfully hands the Tesseract presumably to Thanos. If the mid-credit scene of ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' is any indication, we can infer that those dead bodies on the floor [[spoiler: are the rest of the Asgardians who barely escaped Asgard's destruction only to be killed by Thanos when he comes after the Tesssract. Even more so, one of the bodies is [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_3943.JPG a person]] that was seen in the background of the first ''Ragnarok'' trailer. A DownerEnding for Thor's entire story arc.]]

* In one scene, the Hulkbuster returns. Of course, that would be awesome, but then you remember something: Tony had recently done something that would trigger a HulkingOut moment from Bruce. Namely, [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar he divided the Avengers]]...on the orders of [[ComicBook/RedHulk Thunderbolt Ross]], ''[[Film/TheIncredibleHulk THE MAN WHO UNINTENTIONALLY CREATED THE HULK IN THE FIRST PLACE!]]'' Tony apparently must have (re)built the Hulkbuster in the event that the Hulk returns to Earth and learned about his alliance with Ross.

* Why are there two Infinity Gauntlets? Most aliens in the setting are HumanoidAliens or RubberForeheadAliens, meaning they are bilaterally symetrical bipeds. Two hands. One Gauntlet for each hand.
* The title, Infinity War. A war needs to have at least two sides. There are two gauntlets.
** [[spoiler:Except in ''Ragnarok'', Hela dismissed the Gauntlet in Odin's vault as a fake.]]
* The location and handedness of the Gauntlets: The right-hand one is on Asgard, while the left-hand one is with [[GreaterScopeVillain Thanos]]. Thanos wants to use the Gauntlet to finish his sinister plan. The word "sinister" originally meant "left", and left-handed people were, throughout history, considered evil because of these facts. Meanwhile, the "'''right'''"-hand Gauntlet is on Asgard, whose [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy culture values heroism]] OR '''righteousness'''. Well played, Marvel. Well played.
* Stephen Strange did not wear his yellow gloves during his movie, which were about the only thing lacking to complete his iconic outfit. This movie involves 2 golden gauntlets... or, to put it another way, yellow gloves.

** Related to this, notice how the costumes of the Children have a similar aesthetic to that of [[Film/ThorRagnarok Hela]] (dark clothing and spikes). Assuming that Hela ''IS'' Thanos' girlfriend in the MCU, it's possible that the Children were modeled in appearance to Hela as a "tribute" to her.

** [[WordOfGod According to the Russos]], Thanos' regular armor is just typical protective gear, such as a helmet, boots, chestplate etc. Why would he need protective clothing when he has a gauntlet that allows him to [[spoiler: throw moons]]? Regardless of whether or not Mjolnir gets fixed after[=/=]during ''Ragnarok'', even ''Thor'' couldn't lay a finger on him.

* Thanos's clothes have received some flack, being a simple sleeveless tunic and pants rather than his usually more ornate garb, but in this film Thanos is ''not'' screwing around with the heroes. He wants the Infinity Gems and is willing to go to war for them. His war clothing reflects that; real military field uniforms are utilitarian, practical and designed for hellish conditions and combat. Thanos's previous clothing, in turn, could be the equivalent of a dress uniform; fancy/ceremonial and for formal occasions.

* A lot of people have pointed out how there are only four Children of Thanos in this movie (excluding Gamora and Nebula), instead of five as in the comics. But think about it: FourEqualsDeath. Since Thanos is of course obsessed with Death, it kind of makes sense that he has four
"Children".
