But there are so many great villains. There's Loki and the Black Panther dude and...

Okay, that's it for the films. He's an easy number 3, I reckon.

Now that I think about it... Spiderman coming back to life after infinity war has to happen. They did that teaser at the end of homecoming.

Disney wouldn't spend millions of dollars on him only to dump him after three movies.

Loki was an above average villain in Thor, but in Avengers he was the "gets captured because that's his plan" villain trope ft. a dispensable robot/alien army.

Not to mention the buckets and buckets of money Black Panther just made. Anyone who died in the snap is coming back, they're in the Soul Stone. Gamora might come back because Thanos really does love her (as a daughter, even Thanos won't Woody Allen that relationship...) Loki is likely to stay dead. Captain America might not make it out. The Russo's have talked about how they have to make reversing the snap costly or it all meant nothing, so there will have to be a cost. Since Chris Evans has been eyeing the door since he started as Cap and Cap is a popular character it's an easy choice. Maybe Iron Man. Characters that have had their arc, making room for all the new ones.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I can understand that, he’s a very strong villain; one of the few Marvel antagonists that’s received any depth. Marvel’s villains have been more impressive in recent movies too. They’ve bounced back from the weak phase one and two villains.

*all of the people immediately die*

How very uplifting.

Also, fucking hell, Thanos, couldn't you just sterilise half the universe? Threaten the universe into adopting a one child policy? Rule the universe and reform agriculture?

My prediction for Part 2:
Since the original six Avengers are all still alive, this one will act as a sort of last hurrah for the old guard. Since the gauntlet was destroyed, the six of them will use the six stones to undo The Snap, bringing everyone back. However, since they don't have the gauntlet, they'll all get killed by it, for realsies. Maybe Thor will survive due to being Asgardian and because I doubt they'd kill him off so soon after his upgrade, but I'm sure the others are all toast.

Alternatively, Cap and Stark are the only ones to die, and the others just walk off into the sunset, instead. No matter what, though, I can guarantee that those two definitely both have targets on their backs. They're not living through this.

So, I was thinking...

For the average non-superhero/avenger, this Thanos shit was confusing as fuck. Giant donuts show up, some things exploded. As far as Joe Not From New York knows, the chitari are back. Cool, this is Avengers shit. Go to Red Cross, donate some blood, send some canned food. They just found about Wakanda, they probably have no idea a bunch of buildings just fell on it. Hell, most of them probably think it just means they're industrializing finally. So they're just kind of going about their business waiting for the Avengers to do their thing and then *poof*...half of them disappear. Evangelicals waiting for the rapture must be flipping. Thanos has brought the rapture. But if you're a 'true believer' you still just have that fifty fifty chance of being evaporated. So if you've, by your estimation, been as Christian as you can and the rapture happens and you're still on Earth which, until Captain Marvel sorts this shit out, is just going to be less crowded you're having this huge crisis of your faith. Not that it will effect the second movie, I just always tend to think of the people who have no idea what's going on when watching these huge event things.

I'm not so sure Christianity is even doing so hot in a world that found out that the Norse were right the whole time. Kinda silly to worship this "Yahweh" guy who never even talks to you when Thor literally came to Earth and personally saved your life.

I really liked Hela. Not necessarily because she was a more interesting villain than Thanos, or Vulture, but because Cate Blanchett camped the fuck up and pulled it off spectaularly.

The stones are still on the gauntlet so if the Avengers have all the stones they'll have the gauntlet too. Unless the stones work like the Dragon Balls.

It's going to be Cap because: 1) He didn't want to kill Vision to destroy the Mind Stone even if this could save half of the universe, 2) Red Skull said 'the stone requires a sacrifice, a soul for a soul', so I guess getting the souls back will require another soul to replace them. This means Cap will have to die to save the universe.

And Iron Man too, because of budget reasons.

That were just aliens worshipped as gods, I doubt that would've changed much in the world of religion. If anything they would be just pointed to 'false gods, we're still right'.
