Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Reactions: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

2. More Cannon Fodder

The only slight reservation about that excellent looking Wakanda battle sequence is the fact that it reveals that we're going to get another enemy horde, as with The Avengers' Chitauri and Age Of Ultron's droid army. They were no more than cannon fodder without a personality, designed solely to be punched out of the way while offering some protection to the real big bad.

Unfortunately, while the aliens who attack the Wakanda alliance look the part, it again looks like they'll be taking on this function, and it's a little too obvious. After being sold on Thanos' supreme power - and even that of the Black Order in the marketing - we are going to see another soulless army doing the real fighting. For at least part of the time anyway.

That's a little disappointing.
