Marvel's latest film, Avengers: Infinity War, released just a couple weeks ago, and needless to say, fans are still not okay. The film contained several instances that broke superhero fan's hearts across the globe, leaving them with too many questions to count.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead.

Whenever a Marvel film is released, its natural for fans to discuss and make up some interesting theories of what actually occurred on screen. Infinity War itself has already conjured well over 5 different amazing theories, but here are the most insane five.

Everyone who disappeared at the end of the movie is not dead. They’re trapped inside the soul stone.

By looking at the lineup of movies for the next couple years- that which includes a second Spiderman and a third Guardians of the Galaxy, we know that the heros that broke apart at the end of Infinity War are certainly not gone for good. Some fans have theorized that every one that did not survive through Infinity War did not die, but were sucked into the soul stone itself. Inside the stone might be a completely different dimension where those who have been removed from the world might actually be currently.

Doctor Strange gave up the last stone because he knew it was part of the one way that the Avengers could win.

Doctor Strange revealed to Tony Stark that he had viewed over 14 million possible outcomes of the Infinity War, where only one ended in an Avenger victory. Later, he gives up the time stone, handing it over to Thanos to save Tony's life. Though this can be viewed as a sacrifice for friendship, some fans are theorizing that Doctor Strange knew that this was part of the one method that could save the world, that giving up the time stone and essentially losing would be the only way that the Avengers could win in the future.

Thanos is Dead

Though the ending scene of Infinity War shows Thanos relaxing and watching the sunrise, it is said that Thanos might be dead himself, locked away in some alternate heaven. If this were to be true, the Avengers would have to do a lot of work to find and save their friends that were ripped away from the universe.

The OG Avengers will trade their lives for those that have been lost.

Knowing that all of the original Avengers had been left behind, we have to assume that our original team will assemble one last time to fight against the powers of thanos. However, a central theme of "we don't trade lives" has been constant within those Marvel heroes'' movies. Ultimately, this makes it possible that the old Avengers might just trade a life for a life to get these new heros back. That is, by trading their own lives. This theory makes sense because most of the actors that have been part of the Avengers since the beginning- this includes Robert Downey Junior and Chris Evans- have contracts that end after the next Avengers movie. If the contracts are not renewed, this theory would hold a ton of validity.

Losing our favorite heroes is certainly a scary thought. Years have gone by where we've witnessed Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, etc. battle it out against forces of evil that are unfathomable to our own imaginations. After the shocking Infinity War ending, fans can only help that their heroes will make it out alive somehow.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
