‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Directors Didn’t Expect The Impact Of The Snap

Kevin Smith reveals a conversation he had with Avengers: Infinity War directors the Russo brothers about how they weren’t prepared for Thanos’ snap cultural impact.

In the last episode of his show Fatman Beyond, Kevin Smith spoke about a conversation he had with Marvel Studios directors Joe and Anthony Russo about the Infinity War snap. They told Kevin Smith that they weren’t prepared for the impact it would have neither that it would be recognizable by people that weren’t into superhero films:

“Alright, you gotta tell me honestly, did you guys know when you were making the movie that the snap would be so pop culturally important, that it would instantly enter the lexicon, that your mother would know what the snap meant. And he said ‘No, not at all. We were not prepared.’”

Kevin Smith also asked the Russo brothers if they took that impact into account for Avengers: Endgame and they answered that it was hard to consider that outcome since they were working in both films at the same time:

“And I said, ‘Based on that, did that make you go back into Endgame and do more shit, because suddenly you guys realized you made a backdoor classic. And he said, because they’re still working on it…that it was difficult making two movies simultaneously, side by side, one Avengers movie and the other. So they’ve just been going back and catching stuff that they didn’t catch so now they can cross their T’s and dot their I’s.”

For most of 2018 social media and news articles were filled with references regarding the Infinity War snap. Soon the internet was swimming with Thanos memes of him snapping, so it’s no wonder everyone learned what it was about and quickly turned into a pop culture icon.
