Avengers: Infinity War! Ending explained

Hey guys! What's up.. it's been a while since I've posted anything. I was out for a vacation and we have a rule "no use of cellphones on vacations".
So I guess most of you must have seen Avengers Infinity War by now? If you haven't be notified major spoilers ahead proceed at your own risk.

• While I sat waiting for the post credit scenes of the movie a lot of questions raced inside my head. You might've had them too! *

Who died and who didn't? Why!

So by the end of the movie a lot of characters met their demise which is kind of fair for the charm of the movie to work. If everyone was there to fight thanks, it wouldn't have been much of a fight at all. * This is precisely my and mine own opinion *. This is the list of characters who died in Avenger's: Infinity War -
Hiemdall
Loki
Gamora
Vision
Black Panther(T'Challa)
Spiderman
Doctor strange
Winter Soldier
Falcon
Star-lord(Quill)
Scarlett Witch(Wanda)
Drax
Mantis
Groot
Nick Fury(post-credit)
Maria Hill(post-credit)
This list probably contains a lot of heroes you might've been rooting for. I was also left in awe as the movie ended.

Who's definitely coming back and Which characters might die permanently?

Well according to a theory, and from the news of movies Like "Spiderman-2" "Guardians of Galaxy-4" and a sequel to Doctor Strange, it is clear that these characters will be back, one way or the other. Based on this thinking, It is being said that the characters who were killed off as a result of the gauntlet will be back meanwhile characters like * Loki * Gamora and * Vision * who were killed off before the gauntlet was complete might not make the cut. Well, nothing can be said for sure when it's Russo brothers'movie.

Post-credit scene and it's meaning

As the movie ended, the whole movie theatre was left in awe! Curious and confused... "What Next" was the question in everyone's head as we waited for the post-credit scene of the movie. It started with an empty car crashing in front of Nick's and Hill's car. Soon to realise that the world was ending and as Nick disintegrates, he is seen sending a distress signal to a certain someone. Soon we realise that certain someone is very powerful and beautiful and we might even know her. She's Captain Marvel, who'll possibly be bringing Ant-Man and wasp with her!

Characters who survived and will fight Thanos!

Looking at the list of those who survived the attack of Thanos, the whole team-Avengers that we began with is back * IronMan Hulk Thor BlackWidow Captain America Hawkeye and War-Machine * (though not one of the first Avenger's) and then we have Rocket and Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy series and Okoye and M’Baku from Wakanda are left as the major characters that might fight Thanos apart from

Captain Marvel and Ant-Man .

Here’s who went M.I.A. in Avengers: Infinity War

Shuri:

Black Panther’s sister Shuri tries to remove the Infinity Stone from Vision’s head, but is thrown from her lab by one of Thanos’ children before she can finish. We don’t see what happens to her when half the world’s population disappears. If she did survive, there is a chance that Shuri become the new Black Panther in her brother’s absence (as she does at various points in the comic books).

Pepper Potts:

The last we heard from Pepper, she was berating Tony for abandoning her to fight evil — again. We don’t know whether she survived the culling. But if she lived, she could fight in Avengers 4. After all, Pepper gained super powers in Iron Man 3.

Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers:

If you stayed for the post-credit scene, you know that Nick Fury called Captain Marvel right before he disintegrated. The new, extremely powerful hero probably survived the culling and will likely swoop in to help save the day in Avengers 4. Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) will also get her own solo film in March of 2019 before Avengers 4 drops.

Hawkeye/Clint Barton:

The archer (Jeremy Renner) was conspicuously missing from Avengers: Infinity War. The stay-at-home dad apparently told the rest of the Avengers that fighting Thanos was too risky. But maybe if Hawkeye survived he will want to join his old buddies to avenge the members of his family who died.

Ant-Man/Scott Lang:

We know from the Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer that Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) was put under house arrest after the events of Captain America: Civil War and before Infinity War. Likely, Ant-Man was under surveillance or missing during the events of Infinity War. We don’t know if he survived.

The Collector:

We see the Collector (Benicio del Toro) alive and well in Thanos’ alternate reality, but then discover he’s not actually hanging out in his museum. Did Thanos kill him? Did he flee? Did he survive the culling? We don’t know.

Valkyrie:

Where is Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson)? At the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Thor’s new ally Valkyrie boarded the ship bound for earth along with Thor, the Hulk, Loki, Heimdall and the rest of the Asgardians. But we don’t see her dead on the ground when Thanos takes over that same ship at the beginning of Infinity WAr. Thor makes no mention of her. Did she run out to get chips and guac on an escape pod and miss the whole fight?

Wong and Ned:

Wong (Benedict Wong) returns to the Sanctum Sanctorum to protect the building after Doctor Strange is taken captive by Thanos’ children. We never see whether he lives or dies. We also never find out whether Ned, who creates a distraction for his friend Spider-Man to escape a school field trip at the beginning of the movie, lives or dies.
