The first trailer for "Avengers: Endgame was recently released, the follow-up to this year's "Avengers: Infinity War" and the culmination of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the end of "Infinity War," Thanos, the film's villain, wiped out half of all life in the entire universe, and many beloved Marvel characters disintegrated on-screen right before our very eyes. In the upcoming film, it will be up to the remaining heroes to take a stand against Thanos and reverse his actions, saving the world once again. These movies generally seem to culminate in some sort of epic intergalactic space battle, but that formula seems to be getting a little old. Instead, I think the Avengers are perfectly capable of saving the day in a peaceful way this time. Instead of some huge intergalactic space fight, here are five non-violent methods that the Avengers could use to solve their problems in the next movie.

1. Invite thanos over for tea

Instead of another gigantic battle on the Wakandan battlefield, Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers could easily just invite Thanos over to their headquarters for a delightful afternoon filled with tea and crumpets. Thanos and the rest of our heroes may have started off on the wrong foot, but a scrumptious afternoon tea could easily solve all of their problems.

2. Take Thanos out for a drink

Maybe the Avengers will eventually decide that Thanos just isn't much of a tea guy, and that he would rather go and throw a few back at the local bar. This is another great way for the Avengers to stop Thanos' evil wrath. Instead of a hugely epic battle where a character likely dies, the second act of the new Avengers film could just be Thanos talking with Thor and the rest of the gang while sitting around at a bar, reminiscing about past battles in space and all that good stuff.

3. Have  mature, sincere talk with Thanos

Maybe drinks aren't even necessary. Maybe if Captain America and the rest of the Avengers simply sit down and have a mature, Avenger to Titan talk with Thanos, then all of their differences can be sorted out without resorting to over-the-top, intergalactic violence. This way, they would be sure to bring everyone back who disintegrated, all through the power of simple dialogue.

4. Challenge Thanos to a good-spirited game of kickball or soccer

Or, maybe some good old friendly competition would do the trick. One of the best ways to do this would be for Hulk and the other Avengers to challenge Thanos and his legion of bizarre looking creatures to a game of kickball or soccer. If the Avengers win, everyone who disintegrated gets brought back, and if Thanos wins, then maybe the Avengers offer to stop harassing him about restoring the universe back to the way it was. Everyone can enjoy a fun game and nobody has to get hurt.

5. Steal the time stone from Thanos and roll back time to before everyone disintegrated

Thanos was able to erase half of all life from existence because he acquired all of the infinity stones, one of which is called the time stone and has the ability to turn back time. So, all the Avengers would have to do is steal the time stone when Thanos isn't looking and then go back in time to before he snapped his fingers and killed half the universe. Seems easy enough, and it's perfectly safe as long as they do it sneakily. Black Widow would probably be a good choice for the task.

See, the Avengers have options. There are several ways that they can defeat Thanos and bring back those who disintegrated without resorting to intergalactic fighting which always seems to happen in these movies. Hopefully, they can reach a more peaceful resolution this time around, but I guess we'll just have to wait to find out.
