Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Things Marvel Want You To Forget First

1. The Comics It's "Based On"

When It Mattered

If you read the Infinity Gauntlet comic book (and the rest of the saga) and the later Infinity arc by Jonathan Hickman, you would have been extremely excited to hear that Infinity Gauntlet will be based on both of them. They're great comics, after all.

But Now...

As you should have noticed by now, Marvel Studios have no intention of purely adapting Marvel Comics source material. Instead, they prefer to appropriate the title and some small story details while taking huge liberties.

If you're coming into Infinity War expecting any of it to be like the comics that the film-makers have expressly said it is based on, you need to forget those thoughts as quickly as possible. Because you're just going to be disappointed when it is as unlike the comics as Civil War, Age Of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok were.

And how do we know? Well, because there are already some very clear ways the movie will be different to the comics.

What else do you think Marvel Studios want us to forget before Avengers: Infinity War? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
