There is a lot going on in the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. There's roughly 2983479 characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, and the already-established Avengers themselves.

But there's also Thanos, the big baddie who has to appear enough of a threat to warrant the whole nine years of intergalactic cavalry coming to greet him. Thanos (Josh Brolin) has to share the trailer with all his foes, but that didn't stop Twitter from zeroing in on his flaws (as Twitter does).

This is the most screen time Thanos has ever gotten in the MCU -- and his look keeps changing. We caught a glimpse of him in the post-credits scene of The Avengers in 2012, and in Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 as Nebula and Gamora's father.

Twitter, naturally, had thoughts on the new look.
