'''Maturation and Adaptation'''
Thanos is a WellIntentionedExtremist who firmly believes that he is doing something honorable and selfless. He’s experienced the horrors that are possible when demand for resources overwhelms the available supply, but it never occurs to him that there may be more reasonable ways to resolve an OverpopulationCrisis. Even with the Gauntlet, which essentially makes him omnipotent, it doesn’t occur to him to increase the supply of resources or change the fertility rate. He refuses to listen to anyone else’s ideas and won’t adapt his thought process to accommodate new knowledge. It’s no coincidence that the beautiful pastoral landscape Thanos is transported to at the end closely resembles the vision that he showed the heroes of Titan before it was destroyed. Thanos is trapped by the pain of his past, rendering him unable to move on and grow. In the film’s closing minutes, he forces that same block onto the entire universe.
The most literal example of this idea happens when Thanos murders his favorite daughter, but there are several scattered throughout the film. Tony Stark and Pepper Potts discuss having a child together. Peter Quill’s anger and immaturity gets the better of him when he winds up helping Thanos escape Mantis’ grip. Wakanda as a nation went against centuries of tradition by revealing themselves to the world, and find themselves dealing with an alien invasion soon after. Tony Stark makes Spider-Man an Avenger. TeenGenius Shuri identifies a key aspect of Vision’s design that never even crossed the mind of Bruce Banner, the man who helped create him. It’s even PlayedForLaughs when Peter Parker and Peter Quill debate whether or not ''Film/FootLoose'' is a classic movie, or when the Guardians scold Groot, who’s acting like a petty teenager.
To quote Screen Prism’s [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ADMwOX30PLY video on the film]], the key reason why the cliffhanger ending affects the audience on such a visceral level is the fact that “the ''wrong'' characters disappear”. The majority of fans went into this movie expecting to see characters who’ve been part of the MCU for a while now be killed. Instead, all of the original Avengers are left standing, while much of the new guard, (in other words, the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), turns to dust. Of course, it’s highly unlikely the deaths we saw will last past ''Avengers 4''. Not only do many of the dead have confirmed roles in upcoming movies, they’re necessary for the broader theme. The MCU is growing up, and for this franchise to have a future, so must its characters. But as for right now, this crisis belongs to the old guard. It’s up to them to assemble and set things right, to assure that they can pass the torch to the next generation of heroes.

However due to Thanos's actions, he not only destroyed his enemies but he ruins himself. During his search for the Soul Stone but in his quest for his mad dream, he had to sacrifice the one he truly loves, his adopted daughter; Gamora. Gamora was Thanos's half. The theme of Yin and Yang reflects this in his last vision with Gamora when she was a child, the vision of Gamora asks what did his victory cost and Thanos replies everything. Thanos won but is now imbalance. Steve lost the friend he worked so hard to get back, Tony lost his protege who was like a son to him and so on. By the end of the film, the balance has been disrupted and it needs to be restored.
If Infinity War is the Yin, the dark, it needs to have the Yang, the light to restore everything. Where ever Captain Marvel is. she'll be there. Infinity War is just Part One of the grander story and Part Two will be there. Infinity War has just begun.

In Chinese Taoism, there exists a balance of Yin and Yang, Light and Dark. One half is needed for the other to survive. When one is removed, there is imbalance. The theme of Chinese Taoism is prevalent throughout the movie. Each character has someone to compliment the other.
Steve Rogers/Captain America has Bucky. Two friends now together again.
Tony Stark/Iron Man has Spider-Man. A mentor and his student.
Thor and Loki. Two Brothers reunited.
Rocket and Groot. Partners and Best Friends.
Peter Quill/Starlord and Gamora. Lovers.
Black Panther and Okoye. A King and the aide.
Vision with Wanda Maximoff. Lovers.
And the list goes on.
