And Now, On to the Main Event

Of course we will show it for you! Marvel Entertainment has a legit boast that their trailer is the most viewed movie trailer on youtube EVER. It has now hot more than 89 Million views as of my last click. I have seen it more than 5 times now. Let us watch it again! If you are watching it for the first time, hold your breath, and prepare for an insane ride!

Glorious! It looks amazing right? All these characters in one movie! It is enough to blow your mind! The trailer goes by very quickly but we can spot some hidden tidbits and treasures in it! The Avengers are there. They are scattered all over the place. We can see Wakanda and Cap is there with the Black Panther. Bruce and Tony are together again and they are with yet another doctor…the Sorcerer Supreme! The Guardians of the Galaxy are in a space ship…with Thor! Is that Spider-man’s new suit? So much more to see! Let us try to break it down one by one!

Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Tidbits

Three Doctors and a Wong

Stephen Strange took over the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme after the Ancient One. He is also the Master of the New York Sanctum. The image clearly shows us Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man and Bruce Banner a.k.a. The Hulk here. Wong is also present. What new dangers lie outside these doors? One big guess starts with T and ends with S.

The Iron Spider!

Peter Parker is Spiderman. H was offered a new suit at the end of Spiderman: Homecoming but refused to take it. We see him here wearing the upgraded suit. I guess you need new threads and extra protection when going against a Mad Titan.

Is Thor forging a New Hammer?

Mjolnir is an enchanted hammer forged from the heart of a star. Thor is an Asgardian god of Thunder. But Thor lost Mjolnir in Thor Ragnarok to Hela, his sister. What will he do now? Can he forge a new hammer in time to go against Thanos himself?

The Guardians of the Galaxy!

Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians can be seen here. Groot is a teenager and Mantis) the new addition) is present also. What are their roles here and why are they with Thor in space?

Thanos Already has 2 Infinity Stones!

The Space Stone resides within the Tesseract. Loki is a traitorous Jotun prince. He is the reason the Avengers were formed in the first place. The trailer shows us that Loki is handing the Tesseract to someone. Thanos is the obvious bet. So that is one Infinity Stone down. The Power Stone is the Orb under the protection of the Nova Corps. It might be safe to assume that Thanos razed Nova to the ground to get a hold of the second Infinity Stone. Oh no. Things do not bode well for our heroes.

Wakanda’s Super Special Forces

Let us make a quick look. Captain America. Check. Black Panther. Check. Winter Soldier. Check. Black Widow. Check. The Hulk. Check. War Machine. Check. Shuri is also there. This is one force to be reckoned with. Who are they charging? Why are they all in Wakanda? Lots of questions to be answered when the film comes out!

What the Critics Are Saying So Far

Critics and Comments

THE GOOD

HOLY MOTHER FORKING SHIRTBALLS. If anyone needs me, I’ll be over here rewriting my Top Ten Films of 2017 to include the Infinity War trailer and possibly also fainting.
– Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine

I can’t stop watching that Avengers Infinity War trailer.
– Brad Gullickson, Film School Rejects

Pretty spiffy…
– Brian Truitt, USA Today

What this trailer does is work in the broad strokes of showing the entire Marvel Universe coming together and picking up threads that were left open like Peter getting his Spidey-Sense, Captain America getting a new shield, etc. All-in-all, it looks pretty dang exciting, and it should tide fans over for at least the next couple months.
– Matt Goldberg, Collider

The footage isn’t all that different from what we heard about at the D23 convention last summer, but it’s still damn impressive. Moreover, it uses Nick Fury’s big “Avengers Initiative” speech, along with Alan Silvestri’s Avengers theme, to excellent effect.
– Scott Mendelson, Forbes

THE BAD

I’m done with movies after one look at Thanos. Moving to poetry now.
– David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Who the f**k thought it was a good idea for Thanos to go without his headgear?
– Dan Schindel, The Film Stage

Imagine spending over a billion dollars over a dozen $100 million plus movies to build up your most evil villain possible and he looks like this.
– Peter Labuza, The Film Stage

THE SNARKY

The Avengers: Infinity War trailer is good, but no one says “YEAYUHH!” in it, which is disappointing. Like, if you don’t scream “YEAYUHH” as you kill alien invaders, are you even a superhero? I say no.
– Matt Singer, ScreenCrush

Between Justice League and the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, it’s a banner year for utopian civilizations fighting hordes of bland CGI creatures in fields.
– Matthew Monagle, Film School Rejects

Most epic part of the Avengers: Infinity War trailer was when it briefly cut to black, leaving onscreen the disinterested, tired, sad eyes of someone unsure as to why they’re watching the Avengers: Infinity War trailer.
– Nick Newman, The Film Stage

Not another f**king sky portal.
– Angie Han, Mashable

THE BEST MOMENTS

A bearded Captain America steals the show.
– Joanna Robinson, Vanity Fair

A lot of great moments in the Avengers Infinity War trailer, but Cap and Panther putting the smackdown on beasts in the battlefield may top all.
– Erik Davis, Fandango

YO, Vision and Wanda, Spidey sense, Bucky locked and loaded, GET NOMAD STEVE A SHIELD!!!!!!!!! I AM SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
– Jamie Righetti, IndieWire

How crazy is it that Thanos LAYS IRON MAN OUT?
– Kwame Opam, The Verge

The last three seconds of this trailer are my favorite. I love it!
– Mike McGranaghan, The Aisle Seat

Even the Stars are Excited About the Film!

Screenrant took in some remarks and reactions from the cast members about the film. Look at what they had to say:

Naturally, most every cast member was brimming with pride and excitement over Infinity War. Most of them admitted to being moved by the fact that Infinity War is a project built on a decade’s worth of history for Marvel and were overwhelmed by the warm reaction from the D23 crowd.  Cumberbatch, especially, (in a joint interview with Holland) gave a shout-out not just to the stars who appear in front of the camera but also the people who have relentlessly worked behind-the-scenes on the MCU to date, saying:

“We’re both a bit in shock, still. We’re both recovering from the full force of seeing something that’s taken ten years to get to this point, both of real people’s lives and of the characters’ stories.”

Even though he’s playing the CGI-heavy big bad of Infinity War, Brolin, was also awestruck by what he saw. Explaining that while he has never doubted the narrative arc of the film laid out for him, seeing it coming to fruition on the big screen was a sight to behold:

“When you see the actual manifestation, it’s fun. I’m still reeling. It’s a really good time. I remember talking to Mark [Ruffalo] when I first got into it, and I was like ‘What’s this like?’ And he was like ‘I’m onstage, and I feel like an idiot, and I don’t know what I’m doing.’ And then I see the movie and I go ‘Oh my god, I’ll do anything you want. I’ll do it naked, whatever.’ What they’re able to do, just with this cutting edge technology, is incredible. It makes every fantasy come true.”

A Marvel Movie for Everybody for Years to Come

Look at the calendar release dates for the next 5 years. You will see that there is a planned Marvel movie that will come out! This is the best news ever! You know what this means is that the road map for the next set of Marvel movies is all set and the story will continue long after the last end credits are done!
