Trivia: Spoiler! Whilst Groot is turning to dust after Thanos activates the complete Infinity Gauntlet, he says "I am Groot" to Rocket just before he dies. James Gunn, writer/director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, confirmed via Twitter that Groot was actually saying "Dad" to Rocket before dying. (02:13:45)

Trivia: In this film, Thanos' plan to wipe out half of all sentient life stems from his desire to bring balance to the universe. In the comics, he is motivated by his unrequited love for the physical embodiment of death. Death does eventually make her MCU debut in the Disney+ series Agatha All Along.

Trivia: The way Spidey hits Thanos and throws the web on his face is the same way he does in The Infinity Gauntlet comic book.

Trivia: On Knowhere, Thanos is questioning The Collector, played by Benicio Del Toro, for the location of the Reality Stone. He asks him "Where is the stone?" at one point. This is a reference to a heist scene from the movie Snatch, in which Benicio Del Toro is robbing a bank and asks "Where is the stone?" with the same line intonation. (00:48:45)

Trivia: When Tony Stark blows Ebony Maw out of an opened gap, you can hear the Wilhelm scream.

Trivia: Will be released April 27, 2018. This is almost exactly ten years after the release of "Iron Man", the first entry in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe", which was released May 2, 2008.

Trivia: The spider armour worn by Peter is very similar to the one Stark gives to Spidey in the comics "The spider bot".

Trivia: (SPOILERS) As a result of the shocking twist ending where half of the peoples of the universe disintegrate into nothing, Reddit organized a huge campaign where they would ban half the subscribers of the subreddit /r/thanosdidnothingwrong to answer the question "Who would survive if this actually happened and who wouldn't?" Directors Joe and Anthony Russo also signed up for the campaign. At the end of the campaign, over 300,000 people had their accounts banned, including Joe Russo.

Trivia: When Thanos arrives at Titan, he is greeted by Doctor Strange, who is sitting down and playing with some rubble in his hand. When Iron Man, Thor and Captain America first see Thanos after he destroys the Avengers compound in Avengers: Endgame, he is similarly sitting down and playing with rubble in his hand. This could mean that Doctor Strange was mimicking what Thanos would do in the one out of 14,000,605 possible futures that he saw in which the heroes would defeat Thanos.

Phaneron

Trivia: The look of Black Widow with the white hair is a reference to Yelena Belova, a spy in the comics and second modern-era character to use the name Black Widow. She first appeared in Inhumans #5 in March 1999.

Trivia: Red Skull calls Thanos "son of A'lars" aka Mentor. This character first appeared in Iron Man vol. 1 #55, and is the father of Thanos and Starfox.

Trivia: Despite its namesake, this film is based more on Marvel's "Infinity Gauntlet" storyline than it is "Infinity War." The latter storyline actually featured many of Marvel's heroes teaming up with Thanos to defeat a villain called the Magus.

Phaneron

Trivia: In this and other Avenger films, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) is depicted as standing much shorter than Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr). In reality, Ruffalo is only one inch shorter than Downey (who is 5'9" tall); but Bruce Banner is always portrayed as a diminutive character in contrast to his gigantic Hulk persona.

Charles Austin Miller

Trivia: The scales under Cap's suit reference the original suit in the comics.

Continuity mistake: On the spaceship, Peter is talking to Tony, and has his hair swept back with gel or similar. When he says "You can't be a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man if there's no neighbourhood", we cut to Tony then back, and Peter now has a fringe with no gel. In later shots it's back how it was before.

More quotes from Avengers: Infinity War

Question: Why doesn't anyone ever destroy the stones? What purpose do they serve other than no one person should have them?

DetectiveGadget85

Answer: "Doctor Strange" demonstrates that the Infinity Stones are useful in the most dire of situations, when Strange used the Time Stone to prevent Dormammu from taking over the Earth. It's also possible that some of the stones are indestructible. Wanda is able to temporarily destroy the Mind Stone by using her own powers, but the Power Stone will destroy any being that doesn't possess the strength to wield it, and the Reality Stone is shown to have a will of its own and defended itself when it bonded with Jane Foster.

Phaneron

Also, in the comics, if the stones are destroyed they will simply be replaced by something else or even stones again. They represent the existence of the universe and cannot be destroyed for real. Always only temporarily.
