They’ll obviously win; the result of the entire series is not going to be the annihilation of all humankind.
But there might be a cost. Main characters might die. And therein lies the dramatic tension.

I've had a note to revisit this prediction/counter-prediction re: deaths in Infinity War.
I think MrChris was more right than wrong; the only permanent deaths I can think of are Heimdall and Vision. Everyone got un-snapped and Loki and Gamora came back via timeline shenanigans.
However, just to restore balance, MrChris's line of reasoning was then completely destroyed by Endgame.
