It is, in a nutshell, a glove that houses the six infinity stones/gems. It grants the wearer omnipotence.
This power is sought by Thanos, the purple alien seen briefly at the end of the first Avengers movie and later in Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Infinity Stones/Gems were explained in Guardians of the Galaxy. Each stone has a certain power: Space, time, mind, soul, reality, and power. We have already seen at least three of these stones in the MCU -- the Tesseract (Captain America The First Avenger and The Avengers), the Aether (Thor The Dark World), and the Power Stone (the thing everyone was after in Guardians of the Galaxy). It is also believed that Loki's sceptre from Avengers is also one of the stones, or contains one.

I don't like wiki pages for comics, they go into way too much detail and I just get confused.

Thanks.

MCU Timeline. Image needs to be updated, but the Wiki is neat (and already getting complicated!)

I have been marathoning all the movies, one per day.
(I realize I just set myself up to be called a noob by someone who went to that 24 hour MCU marathon. I would do that if I had the butt stamina.)

Spoiler:
Maybe. I'm not really into comic reading/collecting anymore. I haven't even been to an actual comic store since the early 2000s. I was into comics the heaviest in the mid 80s to early 90s, which was when I was a kid.
Sometimes I feel like I was born a decade or two too early. Back when I was a kid, being nerdy wasn't cool, but it seems like being nerdy is the cool thing now.

Spoiler:
I rarely see girls in my comic shop, but they do seem to be part of the larger fandom now. There's more female-centric stuff now-Twilight and such.
I've never heard of a particularly strong female attraction to something like Sandman, but there's certainly been a much bigger acceptance of geek and nerd culture the last decade that's certainly far above whatever minor gains might have stemmed from that comic. I imagine the huge success of comic book movies since Spider-Man, video games like World of Warcraft and Minecraft hitting a more mainstream audience, the growth and release of Anime here in the US getting younger kids in to that side of things early, and even things like The Big Bang Theory have changed things considerably. Getting in to comic books is lumped right in there with all those things, and honestly the comic and manga section are filled with both boys and girls at Barnes and Noble.
I end up at a lot of nerdy conventions and events as part of my job, and there's definitely a lot of attractive girls and women these days. Walking around Comic Con San Diego certainly as full of the fat nerd stereotype that it used to be.

....As I said, a lot of that stuff has gone mainstream now. Anime used to be tape-trading fans, then there was the big explosion in the Toonami era. That probably drew that audience to manga as well. Elsewhere, some of that kind of stuff-The Hunger Games, etc. tend to be pretty hot properties. The stigma of some of the stuff has gone away, and the methods of distribution have changed too. LOTR used to be for D&D players, now it's a gigantic film franchise with mass appeal.
..
Okay maybe not, yeah he's making a boatload of money on a dream job, but everything has its limits and the $100m just means he can't directly complain about it

So what kind of trailers did everyone get? I was quite disappointed that I didn't get either Star Wars or Bats v. Supes. I got this lovely lineup:
Ant-Man
San Andreas
Pixels
The Gift
