There are a lot of enjoyable moments in each of the Avengers films, but Avengers: Infinity War takes the cake for the pure scope of it all. The first part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s major crescendo, Infinity War sees the already splintered Avengers truly beaten in a way they’ve never experienced before. The stakes are so high in each scene as the heroes race to stop Thanos and his children from collecting the Infinity Stones that truly no one feels safe.
In a lot of ways, it feels silly to even describe Infinity War as a superhero film. Sure, it stars the world’s mightiest heroes, but the film almost presents the Mad Titan Thanos, the character aiming to wipe away half of the universe’s life, as the protagonist. It’s Josh Brolin’s Thanos who has the most complete emotional arc of the film and whom audiences watch struggle to complete his mighty goal. Avengers: Endgame is the true culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first three phases, but it’s Infinity War that finally clued viewers into just how dedicated and terrifying the purple menace who was first spotted way back in 2012’s The Avengers truly is.
