Are you sure? I can't Lyrical up some screenshots at a moments notice, but I'm pretty sure what he said in the trailer about finding a balance is exactly what he said in the comics too. And the legendary finger-snap that wiped out half of existence, of course.

I personally didn't see any of those things. But it would be very clever if that's what they did.

I don't know I'll have to go back and read the infinity books but in all the more recent comics it has been about total aniallation to please lady death. He'll in the most recent run he is almost there.

Well duh that stuff would happen at the end of the movie, definitely not something you show in trailers.

If I remember, it was literally the first thing he did to impress Lady Death and become her equal in "Infinity Gauntlet." And by doing so he became more powerful than her, starting the whole not acknowledging him deal. There's been so many version of it though, and they said the movie is not going to be a copy of "Infinity Gauntlet." It's also ironically nothing like "Infinity War" comic with Adam Warlock and Magus.
It visually looks like "Infinity", but that story involves Thanos looking for his son on Earth who is with The Inhumans, and nothing to do with the Infinity Stones.

It looked like Cap was using all his strength and Thanos was looking down on him like it was no big deal.

Ah ok, yeah I haven't really read a comic other than Invincible and Y the Last Man in probably two decades. I'm pretty sure the Infinity Gauntlet storyline is the one where he destroys half of existence with the snap, in order to please her. I have no clue what they might have retconned that into or had further adventures with. I'll try to find some screenshots if I get a chance.
EDIT: Quicker than I expected.

For the record, its my understanding that they have modified the Thanos backstory significantly for this movie. It does not involve Lady Death, who they haven't even mentioned at this point anyways. But from what I heard 2 days ago, it sounds like they did a great job of making his backstory equally interesting.

Well, the set shots from Avengers 4 are reportedly filled with people in old outfits.
Whether Thanos nukes the timeline, the heroes give up on beating him in the present and try to alter the past to do it, or it is some weird montage where Stark gets the gauntlet and tries to come up with a timeline with a happy ending, remains to be seen.
But I'm convinced the MU looks way different after Avengers 4. There's too many big names whose contracts are up and the fact that out of the numerous Marvel movies in the pipeline post-A4, only a handful have announced casts (Dr Strange 2, Black Panther 2, (some of) Guardians 3) means that all bets are of for who or what survives past A4. (Again, I'll be shocked if Cap makes it out of Infinity War alive.)

Just imagine, movie ends with Thanos snapping his fingers...black screen....and then the credit rolls without music...and half the names in the credits start fading out. No after credit scene.
