(MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD for the ending of “Avengers: Infinity War.” So if you don’t know how it ends and don’t want to know, leave now.)
(SERIOUSLY. GET OUTTA HERE.)
(ONE LAST WARNING.)
“Avengers: Infinity War” leaves the situation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a precarious, and fairly horrifying, state. Despite an unprecedented uniting of heroes, Thanos manages to gather the all-powerful Infinity Stones and achieve his ultimate goal: Eliminating half of all life in the universe from existence.
With a snap of his fingers, Thanos causes a huge number of people to simply vanish into clouds of dust, including most of the MCU’s stable of superheroes.
