To undo Thanos' handy work, Bruce Banner, Thor, and Tony Stark put their brains together and construct a new, technologically-advanced device designed to carry out their own counter-snap, which will undo the actions of Thanos at the end of Infinity War. Once the team has assembled all the stones, they're faced with a new challenge: What Avenger can wield them and bring all their dead friends back without killing themselves in the process? And how will they get their own Gauntlet, which will allow them to use the Infinity Stones' power for their own ends?

That leads to all sorts of Back to the Future II-esque time travel shenanigans, including a sequence where our heroes revisit the Battle of New York from the first Joss Whedon-helmed team-up film. (Sequels always demand more, more, more.) After we learn that Thanos has destroyed all the Infinity Stones, which left his powers depleted, it becomes clear that the Avengers will have to find a way to retrieve the stones. The big difference in Avengers: Endgame is that now there's more than one Infinity Gauntlet. Thanos got his original Gauntlet built by the Dwarves on Nidavellir, popped those beautiful stones in, and then he was ready for business, like he was putting together a piece of camping equipment. But as we've learned over the last two Avengers movies, it's not that tricky once you get all the parts in one place. Given the amount of time fans have spent puzzling over the shiny hardware, scouring the comics for clues on how it would eventually appear on screen and teasing out theories about who would wear it, you'd think the Infinity Gauntlet would be confusing - or at least difficult to assemble.

What does the movie's heartstring-pulling ending mean for the future of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe? Does the time travel scheme that drives the second act of the film actually make sense? How exactly did the Russo Brothers make the Hulk so hot? Some of these queries will only be answered over time, but most of your questions about the Infinity Gauntlet, the Infinity Stone-bedazzled glove that Thanos wielded at the end of Avengers: Infinity War and used to snap away half the creatures in the universe, are answerable right now, because the Infinity Gauntlet is not as complicated as it looks. When Avengers: Endgame comes to a close, you'll likely be left with some tough, unanswerable questions.
