Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl Trailer Reactions: 5 Ups & 2 Downs

1. There's A Pretty Big Spoiler

WARNING SPOILER DISCUSSION.

If you've been paying attention to set leaks and rumours, there's a pretty big spoiler in this very short trailer.

As revealed in the first trailer, Vision is attacked by Corvus Glaive, who attempts to remove the Mind Stone from his forehead (his weapon is very much visible in that trailer confirming its him). From shooting details, we know that happened in Edinburgh, and it would seem that this confirms the rumour that Cap and Scarlet Witch rescue Vision from that attack.

That being true, that means Vision survives the attack and isn't imprisoned by Thanos, but he is injured (hence him being visibly hurt in this trailer). And it would also seem that this is why Cap, Vision and Widow go to Wakanda and why Thanos' army invades.

More worryingly, Scarlet Witch isn't here, so does this suggest she dies in the Edinburgh-set attack? And are we to presume that Vision is protected from the full-scale battle in Wakanda to make sure he isn't taken? Or is he too injured and too distraught to be any use?

And now to the positives...
