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

4. Heart And Stones
Infinity War Vision Scarlet Witch
Marvel Studios

Even with just thirty seconds of run-time and Marvel trying to push the danger element primarily, we still get a big reminder that there's a romance at the heart of this story that will be destroyed just as surely as the universe will if Thanos gets his hands on the Infinity Stones.

And with the apparent revelation that Vision survives his encounter with Corvus Glaive, the way the relationship between Scarlet Witch and Vision is framed in this trailer really, really makes it look like his new girlfriend isn't going to make it.

That would be a pretty big swerve, and crucially it would fit with the film's promise that everyone is under threat no matter what they've already been through. And hopefully, the focus on this fledgling romance will mean that loss really lands.
