Ed Ranks Possible Titles of "Avengers 4" Based on That Tweet

So, the Russo Brothers Tweeted this:


And based on that, everyone thinks this tweet contains some secret within it that spells out (or somehow otherwise shows) what the title of Avengers 4 will be.  When initially announced years ago, it was announced that there would be an Avengers: Infinity War Part I and Part II, but since then Marvel has said that the final installment would feature a different name. Which sort of makes sense, because if it was really called Part II, then it would be Avengers 4: Infinity Wars Part II, which would make it both part 4 and part 2. And that makes no sense.

You know what does make sense in an increasingly high order? These possible titles:

10. Avengers: Hertz - as the Hertz Rental Car Company themselves pointed out in a reply to the tweet, hidden in the back on the right hand side actually appears to be the Hertz logo. I mean I suppose it's possible that the entire Marvel Universe could have been set up as an elaborate advertisement tie-in for rental cars.  But I doubt it. I mean, even if that WAS their original plan... you'd think after the first Iron Man made so much money, they'd have at least adjusted their plans accordingly so that the big payoff for this film franchise would be something more elaborate than getting you to sign up for its Gold Plus Rewards program.

9. Avengers: Mary - If you brighten the picture a little, you can see that the word "Mary" appears to be written on the middle shelf on the left side of the image.  Although I don't think there are any important Marvel Comics characters named "Mary," are there?  I mean, I know there is a "Mary Marvel," but she's actually a DC Comics character. So confusing.

8. Avengers: Nachi - Nachi is written on that piece of equipment near the left side of the picture, slightly right to just where we pointed out the "Mary" thing. At first I thought it was part of some camera, but some Google-fu indicates that it's a Japanese robots company.  So... uhm... maybe something to do with Ultron? I dunno. This probably means nothing and it's just equipment. Or maybe since they are next to each other, we're supposed to read Mary and Nachi together and assume that the title is actually Avengers: Mariachi and that the movie will be two hours of Tony Stark providing a Mexican serenade to dead Peter Parker's Aunt May. 

7. Avengers: Man Sitting in Chair - Yep, I looked hard and there is definately a man sitting in this chair in the picture. I think we figured out our film title, folks.

6. Avengers: Artsy Black and White Film - This is an artsy black and white picture, so it's possible that the entire 4th Avengers film could just be a black and white prestige film like The Artist. That would be somewhat disappointing though. So we'll call this one "unlikely" as well.

5. Avengers: Ladder - The ladder is the most important and interesting part of this picture. It looks a lot like the letter A. Some people says it simply represents the Avengers logo. Some people say it is just one of many letters hidden in the photo that, when spelled out, say something else (see more below). But what if the title of the film was just "Ladder." I think it should be.

4. Avengers: Ant-Man Saves the Day - Look, Ant-Man can get really tiny, so he could easily be in this picture somewhere. Plus everyone thinks Ant-Man will have something to do with how everyone gets un-killed in Avengers 4 anyway because... uh... Something something, quantum realm.

3. Avengers: Finale - People say that they can see the word "Finale" spelled out with various things staged in the photo. The A (ladder) is obvious. So is the E, sort of (that black equipment box on the right side blocking the Hertz sign has shiny metal parts that look a lot like an E).  The other things people are using to spell out "Finale" seem sort of like stretches. Also, "Finale" would be a terrible title because this simply ends Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's not like there won't be MORE Avengers films in the future, even if it is the "finale" for some of the original characters that started this whole thing off years ago. It would be silly to name this as a finale, given that future sequels with more newly-introduced characters will be a huge Disney cash cow.

2. Avengers: Endgame - A lot more people can see "Endgame" written out as well. The A and the last E are the same as in the "finale" theory above. The first E could easily be part of the shelf on the left (many parts of it look like the letter E), there are various theories about the next N and D, which are (again) a bit of a stretch, but plausible. Everyone's theories about the G all seem completely batshit crazy and I don't see a G anywhere. It's like they're just drawing the letter G on it and saying "See, there it is!" when there is no G there. And the M is... well... it could be part of that wall slanting to the right side of the picture, along with some of the objects near it.  Even before this picture, everyone liked this "Endgame" theory because Dr. Strange said some fancy, cryptic shit like, "We're in the End Game now" in the last film and everyone loved that line because fancy, cryptic shit is the best.

Hell yeah!
1.  Avengers: Mystery Cooler - Oh yeah, there is a cooler sitting by that guy's feet in the center of the picture. What is in the cooler? WHO KNOWS?! Isn't that exciting?! Could it be a second Infinity Gauntlet? Could it be Adam Warlock? Could it be a six-pack of cold, refreshing Cerveza Tecate? Could it be the Silver Surfer and Disney just has to slow-play this name reveal until their acquisition of Fox's Marvel properties goes through? Needless to say, I would love if the entire plot of this film just centered around a stupid MacGuffin cooler.
