You are overthinking it.

I think its mainly due to the fact sneaky cam recordings look like shit and as such its an amusing thought that it was filmed on a potato, something that is objectively bad at recording video
Potato printing at school?
Bruce Willis,is that you?
Cap's outfit is similar to this concept art from Civil War:
This is why he should stop using the helmet, just roll without it Cap.
Don't the people know who he is? No need to hide your face (kinda).
But he's a solider. Helmet procrects his head from junk.

That stealth suit he wore in the opening scenes of Winter Soldier was the GOAT and no redesign of the red/blue outfit can convince me otherwise.

I don't think the stealth suit is all that great. I like the white stripes around the star, but the rest of the suit is too damn plain. Just dark blue everywhere with nothing to break it up? Laaame.
I mean, sure, the original Avengers suit was wtf awful, but I feel the AoU/Civil War suit was a nice compromise between the two design sensibilities.

I mean, the most notable death of the character was simply from a bullet to the head so...yeah.

Feel like I might just catch up with the MCU when they come on TV after IW Part 2. If it is the end for the MCU so far, it might just be too nice an ending to really want to get hyped for how it'll continue vs an even bigger and greater threat right after.
Like when Hickman's Secret Wars ended, with the Fantastic Four recreating the Marvel Multiverse and Doctor Doom being "cured" and laughing, it just felt like the right ending for the era of Marvel comics...still read some of them now, but if Marvel comics had to end there I would have been perfectly happy.
The trailer looks cool, but Thanos' non-armour design - even if there are reasons - looks dumb as bricks. Excited for it, feel like a 1.5billion ceiling is about right. The Force Awakens was insane lightning in a bottle and I feel like only the idea of Luke dying would get even another SW movie close to it. I suppose it depends on general fun of the film and word of mouth.

Imagine if Infinity War was the sequel to Unbreakable and Willis security guard character joins in the battle and destroys Thanos because he can't be hurt.
What a twist that would be.
Nick Fury is actually Mr. Glass.
I usually saw it as "Looks like it was filmed with a potato" before it was shortened to "potato quality".

And here I've always assumed it meant the quality is so bad the people look like potatoes.

Potato quality is a reddit meme that's taken over the internet.

Uhh what. The term is very old. Long before reddit was popular and long before the word meme was a thing
Reddit takes credit for everything.

did portal 2 start the potato meme with her being run off of a potato and then people making PCs joking it was running off of a potato?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
potato cam has been a thing since early YouTube
Meme was coined in 1976.

Nah, man, Roger Rabbit's animation was and still is incredible.
This is just laughable.

What if the security guard is Thanos?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Not perfect since no Thanos but I made a wallpaper version for my Mac that has all the Avengers.
Man. This is just so good. Saving this as my desktop wallpaper. I can't believe adding something as simple as a beard makes Cap look 10X more badass.
True, can we decipher which 2 stones are in the Gauntlet (if they are 2) ? Space and Power ? Considering he's literally pulling something out of space ..those 2 seem like they'd be it.
So he seems to get the Tesseract form Loki and must have raided Nova Corps for the power stone. That could be the destroyed place the Guardians are seeing in the trailer.
Nothing really noteworthy, but the current runtime as of now for IW is 2 and a half hours long.

I honestly hope that these two movies are 3 hours long.

Fantastic, lacking Ant-Man tho.
I feel like 2 hours and 15-ish is kinda the sweet spot for these Blockbuster type movies but I do hope Infinity War is as long as it can be. I wanna see as much as possible of these characters being together.
Ant Man is there, you just can't see him.

Could be they're saving Ant-Man, Wasp, Fury, Captain Marvel etc. for Part 2.

That's the best cap has looked. Keep that beard and lose the helmet for his last hurrah

Paul Rudd was on set at some point so he's in this movie.
My personal belief is that the talk of Lily not being in Infinity War was a white lie and Ant-Man & Wasp will be there for the third act climax.
Pretty sure he mentioned in Civil War that the stone is what gives him life.
Honestly he's probably the most likely victim to show Thanos' brutality, and they can always bring him back later because, you know, robot.
I expected bad animation and this still pains me.

This gave me goosebumps. It's honestly insane the amount of things that went into play for us to reach this point in the cinematic universe. So amazing to see it all finally come together in this ultimate story full of incredible well established characters throughout. Just incredible.

The music in the trailer is fantastic, really conveying the feeling that something is very wrong, as Thor says. Any guesses on what Thanos means when he says "I know what it's like to lose?" Is it that he got friendzoned by Hela?

Evans has gotta be happy. He loves his beard and seemed to hate having to shave it to play Cap.
And it is a magnificent beard.

Rhodey can walk properly again and is back in the suit huh?
That's actually very noteworthy to me because he says, "We have to."
That's the perfect response. It's nice seeing that both Marvel Studios and the directors understand that, yes, this is the kind of movie that needs to be long.
I suspect the suit is doing the walking and he's a cyborg now. That would be in line with his comic counterpart.
There is SO much story to tell, 3 hours for each sounds totally fine to me.
This is my Lord of the Rings, personally. This is something I want to be 2 1/2 to 3 hours long.
Bring it the hell on.

For a movie like this, I don't mind. Give everyone some screen time.
