"thanos"

2018 · Anthony Russo, Joe Russo · 149 min · Action / Sci-Fi

Avengers: Infinity War accomplishes something that seemed impossible: it juggles dozens of characters across multiple storylines while maintaining emotional coherence, and it does so by making the villain the protagonist. Josh Brolin's Thanos is the MCU's finest antagonist, a figure whose twisted logic and genuine conviction make every confrontation feel consequential. The ending is devastating precisely because the film earned it through two and a half hours of escalating stakes and the audacity to let the villain win.
