MCU: The Snap and the 15 defining moments from Marvel’s Infinity Saga
By Mark Lynch
The Infinity Saga is over. Before we look ahead to the next phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, let’s look at the 15 most influential moments from Marvel’s Infinity Saga.
What may be the most important franchise in comic book movie history has finished their first series of movies. After Spider-Man: Far From Home, the Marvel Cinematic Universe completed the Infinity Saga. It may not seem that long, but it’s been eleven years since Tony Stark became Iron Man and seven years since the first Avengers movie.
We were given some incredible moments throughout the years. Hulk slamming Loki around like a rag-doll, Captain America’s elevator fight scene, and Scarlet Witch putting fear in the eyes of the Mad Titan all quickly come to mind. On top of those exciting scenes, there were other things that were crucial to the success of the MCU.
Not all moments are created equal. Some of them define the Infinity Saga. Some of them seemed insignificant and ended up becoming major. For example, Hela breaking Thor’s hammer led him on a journey to get Stormbreaker, a weapon that may be stronger than Mjolnir. T’Chaka killing his brother resulted in Erik Killmonger becoming king of Wakanda for a short time.
With the next saga starting up in 2020, it seemed like a good time to look back and see which Infinity Saga moments influenced the MCU the most. A number of things went into this list. Things like the impact moments had in the end result, whether the moment skyrocketed a character to a new level and how it affected the final product? Let’s get started.
