Just a refresher...

Time stone - Dr Strange
Space stone - Tesseract - Loki's staff
Reality stone - The Collector
Power stone - Xandar - Nova Corps HQ
Mind stone - Vision
Soul stone - ??? - Perhaps in Wakanda or there are rumors the stone is related to Tony Stark somehow?

I don't think Thanos collects ALL of the infinity stones in this film. The trailers show he has the Power and Space stones on his gauntlet. I figure he takes the Space stone from Loki, when they run into Thanos' ship at the end of Ragnarok. I also think Thanos may kill Loki, because other than him handing off the Tesseract to Thanos, he's not in any other trailer that shows any other part of the movie. Plus I'm sure Thanos is tired of Loki's shit, and he threatened to kill him after the first Avengers movie.

I do think Thor and Hulk get their asses kicked bad early in the film. Thor gets his head squashed and gets sent flying into space before crashing into GotG ship. Hulk is somehow sent back to Earth but in the form of Banner. Not sure how that happens...because he crashes through Dr Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum so does that happen by accident? Does Strange pull Banner through a portal? Is Banner afraid to Hulk up because he's afraid he won't change back or did Thanos **** him up so bad he lost his abilities to Hulk up and has to use the Hulkbuster suit? It's said that Banner is Banner throughout majority of the film, but we do see Hulk fighting in Wakanda, and the new Hulkbuster suit looks like it allows him to Hulk up while inside the suit, so maybe that happens, or Hulk just rips it all off into shreds...we'll see.

Thor, Groot, and Rocket are sorta teamed up throughout this film. Not sure what their plot is though. Maybe Thanos didn't kill Loki and they're trying to save him (not sure what for), but not a lot has been said about what they do in the film other than what happens in the very beginning and how they meet etc.

Black Order invades Earth, going after Strange's Time stone and Vision's Mind stone. I think that clip of the Black Order extracting the stone from Vision doesn't kill him, but badly injures him, Captain America saves the day on that and they all go to Wakanda to protect Vision. Capt, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Black Widow, Winter Solider, Falcoln, War Machine are all teamed up in Wakanda.

Meanwhile Iron Man, Spiderman, Drax, Starlord, and Gamora are all on a mission to save/rescure Dr Strange who is kidnapped by the Black Order and taken back to Titan, where they fight Thanos, where I think Iron Man is eventually killed.

Man I'm pumped to see Thanos. We need a Superhero movie where the good guys lose.
