@Scarilian - This is clearly assumption. You have no idea who Strange is referring to and how it affects the plot.

@Scarilian - Also, the fact that Strange is telling to Spider-Man to protect the seemingly dead Avengers is weird huh? Why should he protect them? From Thanos? Spider-Man alone?

Actually, this could mean just the opposite: that the Avengers are NOT in danger here.

@MonsieurCringe -

I never said Marvel released it. I said they messed up badly doing 'something as stupid as this'. Which is in refrence to how they managed to allow this image to leak on a set that should be as tight as possible.

It is not the first time they have done something idiotic relating to Infinity War, a guy was given several of the props from the Asgard set at Durham Cathedral because one of the drivers thought 'nobody would miss this prop as we have over 200'

"some sort of telepathic power"

Nope, just a clear understanding of established facts and the set-up that has been presented.

The image tells us a lot about the scene. Doctor Strange is half emerged from a portal. We've seen how the sling-ring portals look in Doctor Strange and that is clearly not the same effect - however it matches exactly with him astral projecting himself to be visible by humans as demonstrated during the scene where he reveals himself to Christine Palmer.

Next is the context of the scene, if you have actually read the comics this story is based on then you know exactly what this scene is replicating and referring to. Thanos wipes out the heroes and then in the comics brings them back to life.

Overall the scene flat-out tells us that Doctor Strange saves the Avengers letting them escape death by taking the astral forms of the Avengers out of their bodies. He is encouraging Peter to protect them because the bodies are needed for them to return to, as shown if the body dies the astral form dies (As clearly demonstrated and established in Doctor Strange)

@Scarilian - screenshot this comment just in case you end up being right.
