DC and WB, take notes
As each member of the MCU appears in the trailer, there is an emotional response because we already know each of these characters
No amount of additional movies is going to fix DC's real problem which was/is Zach Snyder's portrayal of Batman who for some reason is a slow moving, cheese spouting, body building comic relief character. The one and only thing they got right was the voice modulation thing, which Nolan should have definitely done.
For some reason they tried to skip ahead and match the current pace of Marvel's impending all out war for Earth, but doing that without establishing any background (a laundry list of movies for the many characters) was real dumb on their part. You have to hand it to Disney, they may not take risks but they really do know how to make appealing movies.
Well, if it were a legit Infinity War, Thanos would just snap his fingers and all those useless Avengers in the promo would be instantly dead (well, meaning trapped in some other dimension/reality of semi-death) until someone useful like Warlock and Silver Surfer show up to actually do something.
Man...EVERYONE is in this one.
Although I didnt see Ant Man or Hawkeye...
There was a story recently about a breakdown in fox trying to sell their movie portion to disney. Seems before the news about a talk breakdown the fact that there were talks was pretty well covered up. But now I would say it's almost certain within ~ 10 years you'll be looking at the Marvel Universe rejoined.
MCU is getting xmen and FF4 now. That means there's another villain step up from Thanos (though not with the gauntlet); Galactus.
I feel like Adam Warlock will be the trump card in infinity wars 2, not sure how else they'll have thanos defeated unless they remain true to his character and he sabotages himself.
Just edited in that we haven't been introduced yet to any of the other omega-level characters that might get the job done, like Franklin Richards or Molecule Man, so it probably won't be anything like that.
Yeah, but unfortunately they can't defeat an IG Thanos without deus ex machina, unless they write it true to his nihilist character and have him sabotage himself. Here's what I read a few days ago, official announcement next week.I'll be very disappointed if they defeat Thanos through some form of deus ex machina, like suddenly bringing in Adam Warlock or any other heretofore unrevealed (in the MCU) super powerful being just for Thanos.
P.S. I still don't see anything official yet. Link?

Perhaps not in character, but there's an enormous power gap between Thanos (without the IG of course) and Galactus. Also, if you read some of the Galactus-centric stuff, there is actually a person there.I don't think Galactus is really that much a step up. You'd need a villain that also has charisma, which Galactus does not.

It's been a long time since I read comics (I've considered getting a tablet just to start reading again, but that is probably a waste of money), but my recollection is that Thanos with a complete Infinity Gauntlet is on the same power level as the Living Tribunal and significantly stronger than even a well fed Galactus.
He's always been more deity than a character that people can relate to. That's why he'd be a tough sell as a villain for the movies. They've have to either go the route they did with the FF movie and have his herald be the center relatable character, or change him up to the pointless point. I have a lot of love for Galactus, but Thanos works well because he's still mortal enough to have the same problems we do. Galactus is more a force of nature, not really someone that people can go "yeah I sabotage myself too..".
Tech more powerful. The only reason that the Living Tribunal was able to gimp the gauntlet was because Warlock let him when he had it (Warlock and the Infinity Watch issue 1). There was a moment where they wondered if LT had the power to remove the Gauntlet from Warlock, but it was pointed out to Warlock that it would destroy everything if they batteled.. and he was channeling the power of "The One Who Sits Above" which kinda of leads us to believe there's a "God" in the MCU.. which did seem to be the case in Marvel The End, where Thanos gets "His" power and has to die to set everything right.. Starlin had some serious Messiah things going on in his books.
isn't that stan lee? the one above all or some such
