Yesterday I posted the new Japanese poster for The Avengers: Infinity War and really didn’t think much of it other than it looked really cool, but now big spoilers come out.
I’ve learned The: Avengers: Infinity War poster happens to feature more than meets the eye!
Warning: Spoilers follow
The Japanese poster happens to state “アベンジャーズ、全滅,” at the bottom.
A reader sent me an e-mail and pointed out that the line actually translates to “Avengers, totally annihilated.”
So we see that Marvel is promoting The Avengers: Infinity War in Japan as the Avengers getting annihilated at the hands of Thanos! Wild!
It makes sense as the Japanese are big fans of monsters, right? I’m on board #TeamThanos as well!
While Marvel hasn’t promoted the movie like that over here, the writers and even Robert Downey Jr. did previously confirm and tease character deaths (more potental spoilers follow).
“We’re going to pull out the stops and stop exploring conventions, and look to stuff where we go, ‘Oh, but if we do that, that’s very, very definitive.’ Well, great, let’s get definitive for a change,” Robert Downey Jr. teased to EW. “We’re like a family now. Ten years later, we’re hanging out and having lunch, and kind of wondering when the draft is going to come in. Which one of us bites it and when?”
The Avengers: Infinity War writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely noted, “Some heroes may simply get to ride off into the sunset. Others may sacrifice themselves or fall in battle.”
“It’s safe to say we will say farewell to people,” McFeely promised.
