Yeah but I mean Feige or Gunn or someone specifically came out and said "this isn't a tease for Infinity War, he'll be showing up for the first time in GotG 3".
James Gunn said that Adam wouldn't be in Infinity War or Avengers 4, and it wasn't even confirmed that he was gonna be in GotG 3. I don't think he would lie about this.
There's no need for him to lie.
Warlock being the villain of 3 and the new leader of the Guardians for phase 2 is pretty damn likely.
oh, they can lie and they will. either as a lie or downright cut things out of the movie entirely.

I like that they've started doing trailer ruses. I'd rather get tricked by a trailer than get something spoiled by one, like with Thor's eye in Ragnarok.
Eh, apples and oranges, imo. Just like that scene in the first trailer where we first see the GoTG with Thor, but when we see that shot in the movie, half the people aren't in that frame.
This is a crucial plot point, talking about when a character is going to make their debut (and in the fact that it matters immensely).
I was just banking myself on the fact that irrc Adam is the one who defeats Thanos himself with Nebula taking the gauntlet and reversing things.
Just rewatched this and there's no Thor with Guardians scene.
Are you talking about that sneak peak they showed at Comic-Con or something?
If anything IW has proven, The MCU is derived fromt he plots in the comics, but it takes its own liberties. thanos's motives beng shifted from having a boner with death to wacky universal genocide being one example, or stark not drowning himself in a bottle of jack daniels.

???
that was more about the building of the MCU rather than the foreshadowing of avengers. it basically stablished that everything would be connected.
it should be noted that by the time Iron Man 2 debuted little we did know something AS HUGE as an Avengers movie could even happen. sure, this was a thing in Iron man 1

but even then, nobody would had ever imagined that it would all escalated to the point we're in today.
God, that scene seems so quaint now. I remember first seeing it sometime after The Incredible Hulk came out and being so fucking excited about the possibility of the Avengers finally happening. How far we've come
They have been making scenes only for trailers for quite some time, but I still believe Hulk was gonna appear in this movie, early leaks before any trailers were out already said that Banner couldn't transform into Hulk at first and was wearing the hulkbuster in Wakanda, but he would end up transforming into Hulk and fight Cull Obsidian in the end.
If Adam was gonna appear in the movie, James Gunn probably wouldn't even comment about it, instead he denied many times.

Granted, as I already said I really liked the movie, but to say that the marketing and the Russos themselves haven't downright lied and misled the audience is an understatement.
At one point during production they decided to drop the "Part One" designation of the movie, mostly to evade the modern stigma against two-parts movie, but, and let's not kid ourselves, it's pretty clear that Infinity War is still the first part of a single narrative which will see its conclusion in Avengers 4.
Also, the Russos themselves spent weeks hyping up the possible location of the Soul Stone like it was a grand, shocking secret or something, while in the film proper the stone is found on a remote planet no one ever heard before.
Not mentioning the many differences between the trailers and the finished product, but I've learned to distrust trailers for pretty much everything a long time ago
Yeah theres been a number of outright lies in marketing and deliberate misdirection to keep spoilers under wraps.
The most obvious misdirection for me was the Thor's hammer getting destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok. I was confused when I saw the scene in the cinema at first because it happened in a different location in the trailer.
I like the idea of Cap being super disapproving of the Guardians. Like team Dad
Its a close-up of Thor, and Thor only, you mentioned "other people" that were there in the trailer and areint in the film
What is exactly stopping him from doing the rewind on her corpse like he did Ultron?
It'd be funny if in six months, they just announced it was Infinity War Part II and just moved on like nothing happened.
Now that you mention it, there really is no necessity to call this film Part I, even if the next film is Part II
The MCU is finally big enough that it can use the same naming conventions as the Jedi Knight games. Can't wait for Avengers 4: Infinity War 2: Infinity Crusade or whatever.
Most likely it will create a situation where the soul trade wouldn't count and the gem would go back to being wherever the fuck it was before.
In theory, he could just then toss her back in and get the gem back knowing that it doesn't work that way
Agents of Shield:
They really love that crushing people effect don't they?
Man I'm seeing a lot of " Fuck you Starlord you ruined everything" posts on social media and the one time someone said "Starlord has emotional issues dealing with loss of loved ones considering he practically lost his whole family so he's having an understandable response to finding out his significant other is dead" and people just go "Yeah but he chose a bad time to react if he waited he could of brought even better justice to Thanos" and it just irks me because that doesn't fit Starlords character imo
AoS finale & Infinity War:
The final episode works as series finale, but leaves an open room for season 6, in case they decide to continue the show. In any event we have to wait for Avengers 4 before more news, because the snap is guaranteed to evaporate some of characters in the end.
I also hope they don't kill off Talbot for good, he makes an interesting Graviton.
While the situation recived some kind of build-up and the infamous move is totally in-charcter, he problem people have with the scene is that it's a clichè turned to the extreme, and also anyone involved refuses to think straight in order for the screw-up to happen and add more suspense to the plot.
While I can understand that Mantis is an extremely naive woman who really doesn't know how the feelings of sentients' people actually work, Nebula doesn't have such an excuse, and yet she spills the beans to Peter about Gamora's death while she should know far too well that the man in question doesn't have the best record at controlling his impulses, no matter the gravity of the current situation.
Peter also decides that the best course of action to consume his vengeance would be to whip Thano's head with his gun, instead, you know, nail the Titan's down with a precise headshot while he's incapacitated.
It also doesn't help that in this movie Peter Quill can be best described as an unrelatable and unsufferable jerkass who badmouths everyone in sight and dismiss everyone and everyone constantly in his pitiful attempts to impress Gamora.
Someone at ABC's making good use of the fact that they now own Fox, which includes FX, which includes Legion, which had a character die with almost the exact same effect in season 1.
