Forget Thanos I don't think they're even going to kill Ronan off in this film. I don't know but lately, aside from Alexander Pierce, movies and shows don't seem to for the old "kill off the main villain" ending anymore.

Maybe I just haven't seen enough 2014 films but one certain show, has two-parters with epic fights with dark villains, and starting from early 2012 the same person began writing them. The two-part final in early 2012 features a succubus named Queen Chrysalis who ends up falling to her death. Then the two-part premier in late 2012 features a darker villain King Sombra who gets disintegrated. The two-part premier in late 2013 destroys the villain as well but it's only a bunch of vines with no character whatsoever. The next two-part final just a week ago? Equally dark villain with the most epic battle of the series, and he doesn't die he just gets de-powered and imprisoned in hell.

Also X-Men: Days of Future Past... what the heck kind of story has the heroes' main objective be to keep the main villain from being killed? (well, obviously the kind where his death would trigger an apocalypse)
