First Thoughts
Okay, this is a much better trailer than the first! The action and effects look incredible, the character interactions seem great and villain actually looks more threatening. This trailer gives away very little, only showing plot points that everyone already knew about, such as Darkseid's desire for the Infinity stones and all of the major heroes coming together on an unprecedented scale. But to actually see it executed is something extraordinary!
1. Thanos
The trailer starts off with a voice-over from Gamora (Zoe Saldana) talking about her adopted father, Thanos (Josh Brolin). Accompanied by various shots of different Avengers standing around looking worried. But it ends with Thanos taking the Space stone, which I imagine Loki (Tom Hiddleston) gives to him. You get a sense of how big the threat is in this short space of time. With heroes across the globe looking concerned and Gamora's chilling delivery.
2. Avengers Meet The Guardians
So we finally get to see Marvel's two teams come together. In an amusing little conversation between Iron Man (Robert Downer Jr.) and Star-Lord (Chris Pratt). Mind you, whilst this is funny, Star-Lord is kind of rude and condescending to Tony, seeing as they've only just met and the world is at stake. Whilst it is in Star-Lord's character to be that way, I was completely behind Tony at offended he was. And I never agree with Tony! I really hope we get to see more Avengers interacting with the Guardians but hopefully a lot more friendly to one another.
3. Gamora's childhood
This was unexpected! It seems that we'll be treated to some flashbacks of Gamora's childhood with Thanos. So the film could have some emphasis on the family drama between Gamora, Thanos and Nebula (Karen Gillan). Which is good, because I am really intrigued by their dynamic. But this scene, in particular, could be when Thanos first takes in Gamora. So we'll get to see how ruthless he can be when he's conquering civilisations.
4. Thor Vs. Thanos
We've seen how truly powerful Thor (Chris Hemsworth) can be in Thor: Ragnarok (2017, Taika Watiti). So to see him being crushed by Thanos proves just how powerful Thanos really is. This probably takes place in the same scene of when we saw Thanos put on the Space stone, which Loki gives to him, as Loki is also in this scene being held at gunpoint by Thanos's minions. This also probably takes place right after Thor: Ragnarok, as the mid-credit scene for that was a giant ship coming into contact with the ship that the Asgardians are on. So what happened to the people of Asgard? We must know!
5. Captain America Vs. Thanos
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is back, rocking a much scruffier look compared to his clean-shaven appearance in previous films. This scene probably takes place in the finale. When Thanos attacks Wakanda and the Avengers are there to make a final stand against him. I'm not quite sure how Cap is able to hold back Thanos, particularly since he was strong enough to subdue Thor! but this is a very Captain America thing to do. To stare down an all-powerful enemy and not give up. Many people are suggesting that Cap will die in Infinity War and... Sadly, I can see that happening.
Conclusion
Yeah, this trailer is incredible. It has a lot of great action, interesting story points and some really good character interactions. I have no doubt that this film will live up to the hype!
