00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the Marvel scenes that
00:16took our breath away.
00:17We'll only be including scenes from Marvel Studios productions, so that means no X-Men
00:23films.
00:24For now.
00:25There will be major spoilers ahead from various films and series.
00:3050.
00:35T'Challa and Nakia's Son Black Panther Wakanda Forever
00:46This sequel ends on a powerful and emotional note.
00:49Now the Black Panther and leader of Wakanda, Shuri finally burns her funeral robes mourning
00:54her brother T'Challa one last time.
00:55It's the perfect way to end her journey until the film delivers one last heartfelt moment.
01:00This is your auntie, Shuri.
01:03Hi.
01:04Shuri meets with Nakia and learns of her secret son Toussaint.
01:09The boy quietly reveals his Wakandan name, T'Challa.
01:12In that moment, we know that his father's legacy will live on.
01:16The moment is a tender, bittersweet and profoundly moving farewell to Chadwick Boseman and a reminder
01:22that his spirit won't be forgotten.
01:24My name is Prince T'Challa, son of King T'Challa.
01:35Number 49, The Mighty Thor Arrives, Thor Loving Thunder
01:40Jane?
01:44Just when we thought she was done with the MCU, Natalie Portman made a huge comeback.
01:54Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jane Foster goes to Thor's shattered hammer hoping it can heal her.
01:59She gets more than she bargained for when it repairs itself and makes her its new wielder.
02:09The Mighty Thor makes her entrance battling shadow monsters with the shards of Mjolnir.
02:13It's an epic moment that leaves us as shocked as Thor is.
02:16The axe known as Stormbreaker is great and all, but the Odin son's original weapon never fails to surprise.
02:22Number 48, A Familiar Place, The Marvels.
02:41Number 48, A Familiar Place, The Marvels.
02:45We don't think anyone expected this from the Captain Marvel sequel.
02:53After closing a dimensional tear, Monica Rambeau wakes up in a new reality.
02:57Here, her mother Maria is alive and goes by the superhero named Binary.
03:01It's a huge reveal in and of itself, until we get an even bigger bombshell.
03:06You somehow crossed through a tear in space-time.
03:10You are now in a reality parallel to your own, which is, of course, impossible.
03:16It turns out that Monica is in a version of Fox's X-Men universe.
03:20Kelsey Grammer's Beast appears, now brought to life by modern CGI effects.
03:25We even get a Charles Xavier name drop, confirming that they're in his school for mutants.
03:29We didn't know what this meant for the future, but the setup for an X-Men crossover left viewers stunned.
03:42Who are you?
03:46Number 47, Riri's Deal With The Devil, Ironheart.
03:50Who are you?
03:51I'm just somebody who ordered too much.
03:54Are you hungry?
03:56This moment finally puts all those theories to rest.
03:59In the finale to Ironheart, Riri learns that the villain, The Hood, got his powers through
04:03a deal with Mephisto.
04:04Comic fans will recognize him as one of Marvel's most notorious characters, known for clashing
04:08with heroes such as Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Doctor Strange, just to name a few.
04:13Another magic ass.
04:14That's me.
04:15Give me my shit back.
04:16As soon as we're done catching up, pinky promise.
04:21This felt like a natural way to integrate him into the MCU.
04:24And watching him lure Riri to his power made for a chilling first appearance.
04:28More than anything, it finally answers the question fans have been asking since WandaVision.
04:33When will Mephisto show up?
04:40Number 46, Yelena and Bob's Void, Thunderbolts.
04:52If you can find a way out of here together, will you try and live here with me?
05:00In the film's climax, The Void, born from Bob's despair, forces Yelena to face her buried
05:05pain.
05:06She relives her Black Widow days and the atrocities she carried out.
05:09She tries to escape only to confront her current reliance on alcohol.
05:12Her struggle mirrors Bob's, who is trapped reliving his father's cruelty too afraid to face
05:17it head on.
05:18The whole sequence is raw and depressing, but Bob musters courage thanks to Yelena, who
05:23reaches out and promises they'll face it together.
05:25We have to let it out.
05:27We have to spend time together.
05:29And even if it doesn't make the emptiness go away, I promise you it will feel lighter.
05:37For an MCU film, it feels shockingly vulnerable, quiet, and painfully human.
05:42Number 45, Turning to Dust, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
05:52We went into this film expecting a lighthearted brother.
05:55We definitely needed one after Infinity War.
05:58Instead, we got one of the studio's most chilling cliffhangers.
06:02During Scott's trip to the Quantum Realm, he calls for Hank, Janet, and Hope to bring him
06:06back.
06:07They start the countdown, then suddenly silence.
06:16When we cut back to the re-entry point, there's only dust and a radio echoing Scott's cries
06:21for help.
06:22Only then do we realize that this takes place during Thanos' snap that ended half of all
06:27life.
06:28The fun adventure ends as a haunting reminder of the Mad Titan's inevitability.
06:3544.
06:36Aunt May's Death, Spider- No Way Home
06:52We all thought the MCU skipped Spider-Man's tragic origin story.
06:56Turns out, they were just saving the heartbreak for later.
06:59After Green Goblin absolutely wrecks Peter, Aunt May steps in with that iconic speech we
07:04all know.
07:05And sadly, we also realized what was about to happen next.
07:16May insists she just needs to catch her breath, but the truth hits like a truck.
07:21Her injury is far worse than we thought.
07:23In one of the MCU's most gut-wrenching moments, Peter holds her as she slips away.
07:28It's no secret that every Spider-Man is fated to lose someone they love, yet somehow, we
07:32still weren't ready for this.
07:34I'm sorry.
07:35I'm so sorry.
07:36I'm so sorry.
07:37I'm so sorry.
07:38All right, Parker, come on with your hands up!
07:4243.
07:43Vision's Deaths, Infinity War
07:46We are out of time.
07:49I can't.
07:51Sacrifice is a theme that runs deep throughout Infinity War.
07:54Loki wouldn't let Thor die for the Tesseract.
07:57Thanos traded Gamora for the Soul Stone, and now Wanda faces the same impossible choice.
08:02With no way to stop Thanos, she destroys the Mind Stone, along with the man she loves.
08:07Her heartbreak seems to have bought the Avengers a victory.
08:10That is, until Thanos uses the Time Stone to revive the Vision.
08:14Wanda is forced to watch the love of her life die a second time and realize that their sacrifice
08:32was for nothing.
08:33We knew that Thanos was cruel, but this made us believe he was truly unstoppable.
08:37Today I lost more than you can know, but now is no time to mourn.
08:4642.
08:47Teen's True Identity, Agatha All Along
08:50From the start, it was clear that there was more to Teen than meets the eye.
09:07His real name stayed a mystery until episode 5, when things got out of hand.
09:12In a fit of rage, he unleashes his magic, dragging Agatha and the coven into a pit of sinking mud.
09:33The episode's final shot shows him wearing a headpiece similar to the Scarlet Witch's own.
09:38This all but confirmed that Teen was the reincarnated son of Wanda Maximoff, Billy.
09:43Comic fans might have seen this coming, but the reveal still landed hard.
09:47Trying to drown your friends in a magic meltdown is one hell of a way to make your debut.
09:5241.
09:53Thor Becomes a Dad – Thor Loving Thunder
10:07The God of Thunder has faced several losses in these films.
10:14He mourned his mother, father, best friend, brother, and by the end of this film, the love
10:18of his life, Jane Foster.
10:20Yet, in a surprising turn of events, he gains a new family.
10:25You've won, Gorr.
10:26Why would I spend my last moments with you when I can be with her?
10:31I choose love.
10:33You can too.
10:34You can bring her back.
10:39Make your wish.
10:42When the dying Gorr is granted one wish by the cosmic entity Eternity, he uses it to resurrect
10:47his daughter, Love.
10:48Thor steps in and effectively adopts her as his own.
10:51Their dynamic is unlike anything we've seen in the comics, leaving many surprised by the
10:55ending.
10:56Though, we will admit the role does fit Thor perfectly, since Love was played by none other
11:01than Chris Helmsworth's own daughter, India.
11:04They have traveled far and have been given many names.
11:08But to those who know them best, they are simply known as Love and Thunder.
11:1640.
11:17Vision picks up Mjolnir, Avengers Age of Ultron.
11:19We have to act now, and not one of us can do it without the others.
11:25Fans erupted when Steve Rogers barely nudged Mjolnir, leaving us to wonder who among the
11:40Avengers was truly worthy.
11:41The tension reaches new heights when Vision enters the scene.
11:44Built by Ultron and brought to life by Thor, the team was skeptical of their new teammate.
11:49Their doubts vanished in an instant when Vision casually hands Mjolnir to Thor, proving that
11:53he's as powerful as he is noble.
11:55This simple act revealed that he was a hero in the making.
11:58Theaters everywhere were in awe of this unforgettable and pretty hilarious moment.
12:0339.
12:14Bullseye Kills Foggy, Daredevil Born Again
12:18After the original show's cancellation, fans held on to hope that the beloved Daredevil cast
12:28might one day return.
12:29That hope became reality when the series was revived, reuniting the characters we've come
12:33to love.
12:34The premiere opens with Matt, Karen, and Foggy thriving as lawyers running their own practice.
12:39What followed next was beyond devastating.
12:41Their past comes crashing back when their old foe Dex aka Bullseye guns down Foggy.
12:53Karen desperately tries to save him while Daredevil battles Dex in a relentless one-take
12:58all while his friend's failing heartbeat echoes in the background.
13:01In the end, Foggy dies and in his grief, Matt breaks his moral code and throws Bullseye
13:06off the roof.
13:07The villain survives but leaves Matt and the audience forever changed.
13:1438.
13:17Spider-Man's Real Name, Spider- Far From Home
13:20But that's not all folks.
13:21Here's the real blockbuster.
13:23Brace yourselves, you might want to sit out.
13:25Just when we thought Peter Parker could finally take a breather, Marvel hits us with a jaw-dropping
13:30ending.
13:31After defeating Mysterio, Peter takes MJ on a web-slinging date through New York City.
13:35Only for J. Jonah Jameson to crash the moment with a bombshell broadcast.
13:39In perfectly Mysterio-like fashion, he frames Spider-Man for murder, but that's not all.
13:44Spider-Man's real.
13:45Spider-Man's real name is Peter.
13:48He also exposes his secret identity to the entire world.
13:51The screen cuts to black as Peter screams, mirroring audience reactions everywhere.
13:56It was a game-changing ending that we all knew would flip Spider-Man's life upside down.
14:0837.
14:09Queen Ramonda's Death, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever
14:11Few moments in the MCU hit as hard as this one.
14:18When Namor and his forces attack Wakanda, tragedy strikes.
14:21In a desperate act of courage, Queen Ramonda dives into a flooded chamber to save Riri Williams.
14:26She loses her life in the process, leaving behind her nation and daughter Shuri.
14:47The moment was devastating and completely unexpected.
14:50Watching Angela Bassett deliver such a powerful performance only to see her silence was a gut punch to the heart of the film.
14:57Shuri had already lost her brother, and seeing her lose her mother in the same film left us shaken with disbelief.
15:03Bury your dad, mourn your losses.
15:12You are queen now.
15:1536.
15:16Rio Vidal is Death, Agatha All Along
15:19Who is here with us tonight?
15:22D-E-A-T-H, Death
15:28When we first meet Rio Vidal, she's a deadly antagonist hunting Agatha Harkness.
15:33For most of the show, she drifts between ally and rival, hinting at a past romance with the titular character.
15:39Aubrey Plaza had already nailed the role even before episode 7 dropped a huge twist.
15:44Rio isn't just a villain, she's Death itself, based on the character Lady Death from the comics.
15:49This revelation paired with Plaza's flawless performance made for a jaw-dropping moment.
16:11It was exciting recontextualizing past episodes and set the stage for an electric climax.
16:17Fans longed for Lady Death in the MCU, and her arrival could not have been more thrilling.
16:22Who is that?
16:23Don't you recognize me, Lilia?
16:28Agatha, what did you do?
16:30You get your power, and I get my bodies.
16:34Who is here with us tonight?
16:3635.
16:37Harry the Eternal, Eternals
16:39Thena, Druic, and Makkari set out for space to warn other Eternals about the emergencies.
16:51Apocalyptic events that birthed Celestials.
16:53Their mission takes a wild turn when the alien Pip the Troll boards their ship.
16:58Played by Patton Oswald, the drunken teleporter isn't the only one on board.
17:02Pip introduces the team to another Eternal, Eros, otherwise known as Star Fox.
17:07Comic fans will immediately recognize him as an Avenger and Thanos' charming brother.
17:12However, that wasn't even the most surprising part about this scene.
17:15Eros steps out of the shadows and is played by none other than Harry Styles.
17:20The mid-credits scene left both Marvel fans and Harry's stunned.
17:3434.
17:35Sue Pushes Galactus
17:36Fantastic Four First Steps
17:41With the fate of the Earth on the line, only the Fantastic Four stands between humanity and
17:47Galactus, the devourer of worlds.
17:49The team sets a trap, hoping to teleport the giant away, only for him to stomp them out
17:53and take Franklin, the son of Reed and Sue.
17:56Out of options, Sue makes the ultimate stand, forcing Galactus into the portal with every ounce of her power.
18:02Sue ultimately dies from her efforts, leaving the team and audience in deafening silence.
18:09However, just when we thought Marvel broke our hearts yet again, Franklin taps into his powers and brings his mother back.
18:15It's an emotional but ultimately hopeful scene.
18:16Not even death can keep Marvel's first family apart.
18:22Not even death can keep Marvel's first family apart.
18:29Number 33.
18:30Wanda the Villain
18:39Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
18:54Wanda has had quite the journey since Age of Ultron. From villain to Avenger to mother, her path has constantly shifted.
19:14At the end of WandaVision, she's seen reading The Darkhold, a spell book of dark magic.
19:18We next see her being asked to protect America Chavez, a teenager with interdimensional abilities.
19:23The scene takes a shocking turn when Wanda reveals that she won't be teaming up with Doctor Strange.
19:40The peaceful orchard around her fades into a hellish forest as she admits that she's been hunting America.
19:46Not to ask for help, but to steal her powers and reunite with her children.
19:50Gone is the grieving hero from WandaVision. In her play stands the Scarlet Witch, fully unleashed.
19:56You break the rules and become a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair.
20:03Number 32. Hela Breaks Mjolnir
20:06Thor Ragnarok
20:07Kneel
20:11Before your queen
20:16I don't think so.
20:19When Thor hurls his enchanted hammer at the goddess of death, we all expected the usual outcome.
20:25A knockdown villain who was too smug for their own good.
20:28Ragnarok, however, flipped that expectation on its head.
20:31Hela effortlessly catches Mjolnir mid-fight and shatters it into pieces.
20:35The disbelief in Thor's face and sheer terror in Loki's says it all.
20:39In one move, Hela goes from a mysterious newcomer to a terrifying foe.
20:43That single moment didn't just destroy a weapon, it shattered our sense of security.
20:48If Mjolnir can be destroyed, what chance does our hero have?
20:51Bring us back!
20:52No!
20:53Lokey!
20:54Lokey!
20:55Lokey!
20:56Lokey!
20:57Lokey!

31:33animal friends were experimented on encaged by the morally bankrupt high evolutionary they found comfort
31:39by giving each other hope someday i'm gonna make great machines that fly and me and my friends are
31:46gonna go flying together into the forever and beautiful sky so when rocket discovered the high
31:54evolutionary plan to execute them the guardian broke them out just when it looked like they were all
31:59home free the villain killed the kind lila right in front of rocket's eyes
32:04it really is good
32:05he cried out but we were speechless after lila's shocking death rocket brutally damaged the villain's
32:16face security answered his violent actions by killing his last two friends the traumatic flashback
32:21stands as one of the most harrowing scenes in the entire mcu number 20 the multiverse is born
32:28loki when loki and sylvie reach the end of time they discover a stranger named he who remains
32:34the mysterious man reveals that he built the time variance authority to control the timeline
32:38additionally he who remains reveals that if he dies the multiverse will be born
32:43but splitting the timeline could also allow an infinite number of enemies to threaten the main universe
32:49sylvie the universe is in the balance everything we know to be true everything i know the tva has
32:56hurt us both but what if by taking him out we risk unleashing something even worse at first we were
33:03positive that the two gods of mischief would never allow the multiverse to exist but sylvie fights
33:08until she defeats loki and slays he who remains watching the timeline split before our eyes was astounding
33:14while we knew trouble was coming we also knew that the mcu could now access a multiverse of characters
33:21but someone is coming countless different versions of a very dangerous person and they're all set on
33:26war we need to prepare number 19 quicksilver's death avengers age of ultron as soon as it was
33:32announced that scarlet witch and quicksilver would be in ultron audiences got pretty excited but no one
33:38could have anticipated that the duels time together would be so brief during age of ultron's final battle
33:44the titular villain fires at the avengers and other survivors of his attack when hawkeye is caught in
33:49the robot's path while protecting a young boy pietro suddenly runs over to shield them from the gunfire
33:54you didn't see that coming
33:56the sacrificial act was as jaw-dropping as it was controversial although we're glad hawkeye survived
34:05we still can't believe quicksilver's time as an avenger ended so soon
34:09if you stay here you'll die
34:14i just did number 18 infinity ultron breaks free what if we were stunned when we saw the evil ai
34:23launch enough nuclear missiles to kill off most of earth's population but his global act of
34:28destruction was just a warm-up after ultron acquired all the infinity stones he gained the ability to
34:34travel to any universe his curiosity about the multiverse eventually put him face to face with
34:39the watcher the cosmic narrator knew that ultron could cause untold destruction across every reality
34:45so many universes so much chaos they need to be silenced you do not have to do this with the fate of
34:54the multiverse at stake the watcher decided to fight the ai himself we fully expected the cosmic
34:59being to dismantle the robot but to our shock and horror ultron won their duel the sight of the
35:05victorious villain looking out at the multiverse still chills us to the bone run watch it doesn't
35:13matter from here i can see everything no one can stop me now number 17 liz's dad spider-man homecoming
35:23being a teenage superhero can be stressful in addition to trying to stop adrian tombs the vulture
35:29peter parker also has to deal with high school stuff like homecoming dance i guess you already
35:34have a date to homecoming actually i'm so busy planning and i never really got around to that part so
35:39you wanna go with me yeah really when he turns up at his love interest liz's house he and the audience
35:52are flabbergasted when the vulture answers the door tombs is actually her father he must be peter
35:58yeah i'm liz's dad put her there hell of a grip come on in here come on sure the movie's called
36:10homecoming so it had to tie into the plot somehow but we didn't think the villain would be liz's dad
36:16it's a great twist that made the vulture not only more relatable but arguably scarier that scene in the
36:22car still gives us chills and don't you ever ever interfere with my business again because if you do
36:31i'll kill you and everybody you love i'll kill you dead number 16 isaiah's backstory the falcon and
36:43the winter soldier after sam wilson is entrusted with steve roger's iconic shield he's shocked to
36:48learn that the avenger wasn't the only captain america the hero once known as falcon is eventually
36:53introduced to a black man and veteran named isaiah bradley during the korean war the soldier became a
36:59super soldier and single-handedly liberated a prison camp but he wasn't treated with a welcome home like
37:05steve rogers was instead isaiah was imprisoned and experimenting on for 30 years by the country he
37:11fought for you know what they did to me for being a hero they put my ass in jail for 30 years carl
37:21lumbley's moving performance makes this revelation especially heartbreaking and while nothing can ever
37:27replace what he's lost isaiah has done some justice when he finally gets the recognition he deserves
37:32in a truly awe-inspiring scene now they'll never forget what you did for this country
37:39never number 15 natasha's sacrifice avengers endgame the avengers could only restore the
37:47lives taken by the mad titan by collecting all six of the infinity stones that's why natasha and
37:52clint couldn't turn back when they discovered that they could only get the soul stone by paying a heavy
37:57price although black widow volunteered to give her life to get the cosmic item hawkeye refused to accept
38:03her selfless wish you win
38:04tell my family i love them the two proceeded to fight each other to see who would walk away with
38:16the soul stone just when it seemed like clint would die a last minute reversal saw black widow make the
38:22ultimate sacrifice hawkeye initially couldn't utter a single word after he watched his friend die
38:27at that moment we all knew exactly how he felt
38:31clint where's nat
38:36number 14 the mandarin reveal iron man 3 the terrorist mastermind the mandarin proves
38:44quite the threat to both tony stark iron man as well as the united states you know who i am
38:49you don't know where i am and you'll never see me coming his explosive soldiers and dark charisma
38:58gave him an air of menace but when tony finally infiltrates the mandarin's compound he's dumbfounded
39:04to discover that the man he thought was the mandarin is just a silly british actor named trevor
39:09my name is trevor trevor slattery what are you what are you decoy you're a double right well not
39:17not study no absolutely no the real mandarin not really he came later is aldrich killian a scientist
39:24tony once ditched at a party while this twist certainly proved controversial there's no denying
39:30that nobody saw it coming no more false faces you said you wanted the mandarin you're looking right
39:38at him who would expect using the actor of ben kingsley's caliber as a misdirect
39:44number 13 strange supreme's world falls apart what if sometime after stephen strange saw his
39:51girlfriend christine die from injuries sustained during a car crash he found a way to travel back
39:56in time although the doctor turned back the clock many times he could never save the woman he loved
40:02strange eventually learned that he could prevent this tragic event if he absorbed power from other
40:07living beings after claiming the lives of many creatures and his other half he was finally able
40:13to save for steam unfortunately his decision to alter history caused this reality to fall apart
40:19it was horrifying to watch strange desperately try and fail to prevent everything and everyone in
40:31his world from disappearing after committing so many evil acts he and the audience were left with
40:36nothing but silence what did you do no no no no no no number 12 ego both gives and is cancer
40:49guardians of the galaxy volume 2 ego peter quill's celestial tool of a dad is exposed as a villain
40:55with a plan to spread throughout the galaxy like a cancer making everyone a part of him but you know
41:00peter it is a tremendous responsibility only we can remake the universe only we can take the bridle
41:08of the cosmos and lead it to where it needs to go having basically been brainwashed by ego this
41:13doesn't concern star lord too much and the audience kind of figured it out by then but then he drops a
41:20bombshell to stop himself from getting attached to peter's mom ego intentionally gave her brain cancer
41:25the shock of this is so great that it snaps peter out of ego's control and he just starts blasting
41:40him if we weren't still trying to get over this reveal we'd be tempted to join him
41:45in the hell do you think you are number 11 rogue can't feel gambit x-men 97 genosha was supposed to
41:59be a safe haven where mutants could live in peace unfortunately it became ground zero for a devastating
42:05attack i'm so sorry sorry for what
42:16we watched a few of the show's most memorable characters perish left and right in a series of
42:20harrowing scenes but all that depth couldn't prepare us for the biggest loss of them all
42:25when master mode attempted to wipe out nightcrawler and other survivors gambit rushed in to stop the
42:31carnage his heroic charge seemingly ended when the villain pierced his body despite being impelled
42:37gambit delivered one last attack no words could describe what we felt when we saw his body lying
42:43in rogues hands sugar i i can't feel you number 10 the god of mischief takes his throne loki i'm out of
42:59options sylvie i've tried everything the only way that anything is if i never kill he who remains in the
43:09first place one of the mcu's best villains was once presented with an impossible choice he could
43:16either let every single reality be destroyed or let he who remains rule over one strict timeline
43:22after trying hundreds of different solutions and getting nowhere loki decided to create a third option
43:27i know what i want
43:32i know what kind of god i need to be
43:34for you in an awe-inspiring scene the god of mischief fully tapped into his divine powers
43:43loki then reached out and grabbed every timeline he could once he had taken the multiverse into his
43:49hands he decided to keep them all going by sitting with them on a throne alone for all of time loki's
43:55unending sacrifice shocked and amazed us this was the moment where a great villain became the benevolent
44:01god of every marvel reality number nine who killed tony's parents captain america civil war the evil
44:08genius zemo spent most of civil war manipulating and deceiving the avengers but his final sinister
44:14act relied on a brutal truth after zemo gets tony steve and bucky in the same room he shows them
44:20footage of the car crash that killed howard and maria stark what was thought to be an accident was
44:24quickly revealed to be an assassination and it turns out that the brainwashed bucky was responsible
44:37as tony got angrier we sat there breathless and waiting to see how iron man would react although we
44:43didn't want him to lash out at bucky after seeing that video we definitely understood why the orphan
44:48billionaire couldn't let things go this isn't gonna change what happened i don't care he killed my
44:55mom number eight t'challa's funeral black panther wakanda forever your brother is with the ancestors
45:03two years after chadwick boseman passed away audiences arrived at wakanda forever with the knowledge that the
45:08cast and crew had worked hard to honor his memory the film immediately made it clear that his character
45:14t'challa had passed away after this tragic opening we watched as wakandans came together for his funeral
45:20angela bassett and latisha wright's performances were full of raw emotion and grief during the ceremony
45:25and throughout the heartbreaking scene wakandans celebrated their king's life with beautiful
45:30expressions of art no one made a sound during this impactful and moving tribute to the late and great
45:36chadwick boseman number seven thanos's sacrifice avengers affinity war the deaths in affinity war are
45:46some of the hardest hitting in the franchise after gomorrah is forced to take thanos to vormir the
45:58location of the soul stone they're told by its guardian red skull that thanos must sacrifice what he loves
46:03most to obtain it in order to take the stone you must lose that which you love
46:12a soul for a soul gamora is first amused since she believes thanos loves no one but she is proven
46:21tragically wrong as thanos cries for what he's about to do despite gamora's attempts to deny him
46:27thanos throws his favorite daughter from the cliff this death left us shook both from grieving gamora's
46:32loss and because of how committed thanos was to his mission
46:44number six hydra had infiltrated chill captain america the winter soldier after hydra's defeat in
46:50the first avenger the rogue nazi division seemed to be gone for good and boy were we wrong in the
46:56second captain america film steve rogers and black widow meet a digital copy of hydra scientist arnim zola's
47:02brain the villain then reveals that his organization was secretly rebuilt inside of shield ranks the new
47:08hydra grew a beautiful parasite inside shield this tactic allowed hydra to influence global events and
47:17assassinate potential threats for decades while this reveal could have just affected the plot of one
47:22movie the twist is so memorable because of its far-reaching consequences this game-changing hydra twist
47:28went on to affect other mcu tales and will likely continue to do so in the future that's okay trust me
47:40hell i do number five a bloodied shield the falcon and the winter soldier john walker wasn't most of
47:47our picks for a new captain america but as we saw more we saw how the impossible expectations of the role
47:53war on him but no wait no no stop hold on stop okay i think we're way past reasoning with her unless
48:00you forgot the fact that she blew up a building with people still in it while engaging in battle
48:05with the flag smashers walker's partner lamar is accidentally killed by their leader carly morgan thou
48:14in rage at the death of his friend walker pursues one of the flag smashers demanding to know where carly
48:19is with the man at his mercy walker brutally kills him as dozens look on and recorded
48:30we know walker was under pressure but to see him break like this and for him to tarnish cap's shield
48:35once a symbol of hope is appalling number four illuminati demise doctor strange in the multiverse
48:42of madness the introduction of the illuminati alone was a shock to the system captain carter
48:48the first avenger black agar baltagon keeper of the terrigen mists the inhuman king old favorites
48:56returning in new roles in this universe patrick stewart back as professor x and they cast john
49:01krasinski as mr fantastic but that shock was compounded soon after just as doctor strange tries
49:08to warn them wanda maximoff the scarlet witch pursues him into this universe it's encouraging
49:13she confronts the illuminati and proceeds to kill them all in creative and grisly ways well all except
49:33mordo frankly a fist fight with strange is getting off easy compared to what wanda does to the others
49:40i think i'm beginning to understand why your mordo didn't like you very much number three peter
49:47who spider-man no way home yes we were all beaming at the sight of three spider-men just interacting
49:54with each other oh my back it's kind of stiff from all the swinging i guess oh yeah no i got a middle
50:01back thing too really yeah you want me to crack it yeah yeah that'd be great all right but that still
50:10didn't prepare us for the emotional gut punch that is the ending with reality coming apart and legions
50:15of spider-man's enemies encroaching on new york peter asks doctor strange to make them leave the only way
50:21he knows how a spell to make everyone forget him not spider-man mind you peter parker you gotta
50:27understand that would mean that everyone who knows and loves you we we'd have no memory of you
50:38it would be as though you never existed peter promises to come find ned and mj after they've
50:42forgotten and he's true to his word on that account it's rough seeing him meet them and for them to not
50:48recognize him it's even tougher to watch him decide not to tell them to keep them safe is there anything
50:54else no number two cap brings the thunder avengers end game end game has so many jaw-dropping epic
51:15moments that we could have chosen the portal scene alone had everyone shouting incoherently
51:38but our pick goes to the moment slightly before that one iron man thor and captain america face off in
51:43a 3v1 against thanos things look dire for the god of thunder when the other two are seemingly out of
51:49commission and thanos has him at his mercy that's when thor's hammer mjolnir rises and strikes the mad
52:01titan in the back it then returns to cap's hand fans were hopeful beforehand and of course a man as
52:08good as steve rogers was worthy but knowing and seeing are two different things

52:45thanos proves he's a capable and threatening villain she's asked hasn't she
52:50even so most viewers who hadn't read the comics still didn't think he would actually succeed
53:09how naive we were after acquiring all the infinity stones thanos seemed poised to kill half of all life
53:15in the universe but then thor arrives and lands a decisive blow except his aim was off you should
53:24have gone for the head thanos still manages to snap his fingers he departs and then many of our favorite
53:31heroes dissolve into dust it can't be overstated how astonishing this moment is i don't feel so good
53:37you're all right i don't know i don't know what's happening marvel is supposed to be the upbeat
