How does Infinity War set up the events of Avengers Endgame, and what new clues and interesting connections have emerged? Erik Voss brings you his "re-breakdown" of everything you missed from Infinity War the first 10 times you watched it -- details about Doctor Strange's secret plan, Thanos' goals and mysterious uses of the Infinity Stones, and interesting callbacks in the deaths of each member of the Black Order. If Thanos is the true protagonist of Infinity War, does that make THOR the real villain of the story structure? How is Thor's journey in this movie similar to the villains of Die Hard, Halloween, Star Wars, and Raiders of the Lost Ark? Why did Hulk lose in his fight with Thanos?

But I think the best way to prep is a wide-eyed, in-depth rewatch of Avengers Infinity War.

0:13.5

Because pretty much every frame of this movie is filled with details, many of which we overlooked the first time.

than what we remember it was. Spoiler warning in case I accidentally predict something that

Asgardian refugee ship that we saw at the end of Thor Ragnarok. This is the Asgardian refugee

that some of the Asgardians did escape this massacre, including Valkyrie. Then we meet the
