when we know sequels are out, anyone who "appears" to die is for effect. Bucky, Strange, Okoye, M'Baku, Rocket, Falcon, WIDOW, would have made it much more believable. At least made us think "they're not really dead, are they???"

The challenge is going to be how they are able to bring them all back in a manner that is not contrived. I like the element of having the gauntlet fully charged in that what it can do is unpredictable since it seemingly has never been assembled...



ALSO, what if this:
