They already set up time travel with Dr. Strange--and he has the time stone. So they are giving themselves a way for the Avengers to lose, and still do something in the next movie to win. I'm betting its Spider Man and Strange who somehow jump time to assemble the avengers in the past, if they got that route or maybe they "find" Ms Marvel too, to help. This could also set up a future arc of the secret wars--since universe/time alteration was a theme in that, they could use it as the reason the Beyonder takes notice of Earth.
And now that they own Dr. Doom, they can do the whole story line, hell if they get wild they can use that story to introduce the fantastic four....Or the Xmen within that universe, to help break the MCU away from the retiring avengers.

They do not own Doom, Fantastic Four, and X-Men just yet. They made an offer, and it was accepted by Fox...but it's not finalized and there is a lot of legal hurdles to pass before it's a done deal, mostly anti-monopoly stuff. I think I saw we won't know till end of 2018 and mid-2019 before decision is made to see if it will be allowed to be done.

They will be deep into Phase 4 before any of those properties become MCU movies. Feige even said recently that they aren't even being talked about in their planning.

Growing up, I never cared about Start Wars. I know it means a lot to so many, but it never grabbed me.
The Avengers theme song hits me on an emotional level, the same way star wars music hits that type of person. It's incredible.
I love Marvel so much.

Infinity War is apparently going to be shown in native 1.90:1 on IMAX screens, apparently its the first film doing it the way they are doing. I didn't read all the technobabble but for someone interested in the techy side

Im not a big comic book reader so my knowledge of all this is pretty much limited to the films. I seem to recall from the first Guardians movie that a guy with 1 stone basically pounded the ground and blew up a world. Why is Thanos punching these guys in the trailer?

I don't remember Ronan using the power stone to destroy planets, but its been a while since i've watched gotg1.
the power stone Ronan had (and one of the ones thanos appears to have) increases his strength and lets him do energy projections, like Ronan did at the end of Gotg. he should be near hulk level strength with the power stone as well.

He doesn't, but when the collector explains the stones (or was it someone else?) there is a short sequence that shows dudes dropping by a planet and just planting their staff in it and the whole thing just getting decimated.

ah, those are Celestials. they are basically gods (above Odin level) one of the strongest things in the marvel universe and can create/destroy planets or create universes without the stone. Celestial (comics) - Wikipedia

Have they said how long this movie is? It feels like there is a ton of plot just to get to the gratuitous Thanos fight scenes (and it appears there's at least two). I have faith in Feige and the Russo's but just the sheer number of characters in this is overwhelming.

especially in the mcu. mcu hulk is VERY strong but nowhere near the comic version. comic version has no upper limit to his strength, but MCU hulk has been beaten into submission by stark.
