Kyyle23 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Sure, but there's no reason they had to pick Thanos. Well, they have been building towards Thanos since the first Thor movie, so they kind of did have to pick Thanos eventually. The MCU is based around the Infinity stones and Infinity War, Thanos is the only bad guy to pick for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yeah. Curious who else could be the main villain for Infinity War? They've been hinting at him forever and was built up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just saying they could have built towards a different story this whole time and not the Infinity War story. Although, there are rumors that the Captain Marvel movie is going to set up a "Secret Invasion" story-line with the Skrull (possibly for Avengers 4 or beyond).

They've been hinting at him forever and was built up. No one. I'm saying they didn't need to push the Infinity War to begin with. I hope I'm wrong but I don't expect this movie to be markedly different from Avengers 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to connect their GOTG series with the Earth serieses. The Infinity stones are part of Thor, GOTG, Avengers (Vision), and Dr. Strange. Thanos owns the Infinity Gauntlet.

Why? It's overcrowded. Do we really need to tie in a bunch of low-powered Earthly heroes into a storyline about a villain who can destroy half the universe?

That was more of a "teaser" or "teaser trailer" than an actual full trailer correct? Seems like trailers are usually around 4-5 minutes long.

Generally "Teasers" are supposed to be shorter, but I've never seen a 5 minute trailer. I've seen people combine 2-3 trailers into a single one - that happened for Star Wars last year and I shared it here, but that wasn't an official thing, the trailers were each about 2 minutes.

Maybe not 5 but definitely longer than 4 mins. I've seen a lot of close to 4:30 trailers. Edited November 30, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
