I’m convinced that this sequence of events will never again be topped in film. It’s just not possible.

Its gotta be anime. I can see no way of it working in live action. And i love it
DJTLaC2025-10-18 18:17
Over a decade and 21 movies building up to this... Unless James Gunn has some magic up his ass to use on this second coming of the DC cinematic universe, I don't see it happening again in our lifetime, if ever.
Mum_Chamber2025-10-18 19:39
even if he has magic up his ass, it’s nigh impossible.
the reason the MCU worked so insanely well was that it was done extremely well AND for the first time. whatever Gunn will do is now a derivative. it might be fun and exciting, but he cannot reach what MCU did. no way.
DJTLaC2025-10-19 01:00
I agree to an extent but I also think you underestimate how badly DC fans would love to see a full fledged Justice League (with all competent members) done well in live action.
Mum_Chamber2025-10-19 01:14
what you are saying already proves my point. MCU was much bigger than Marvel fans. if Gunn has a great movie that is loved by DC fans, that's a tall order, but that isn't enough to top MCU. it maybe be great, but topping MCU is nigh impossible at this point
MR11202025-10-18 19:11
From Cap lifting Mjolnir to “…Assemble”. That sequence will never be topped. The movie could’ve ended right there, with every good guy running towards Thanos’ army. Just fade to black, and it would’ve been completely satisfying. Everything after that was just dessert.
ScuttleCrab7292025-10-18 20:37
Cap tightening the strap on his shield was the moment shit got real for me.
Scary-Command22322025-10-18 18:29
This is my favourite. It's also like a beautiful religious-type painting, one good man stands alone facing mass evil.
overworkedattorney2025-10-19 05:28

Cap was ready to throw down on his own.
Thank god Howard the Duck came to the rescue
Perca_fluviatilis2025-10-18 18:49
Yes. That's the core of his character. He knew he couldn't win. He knew he was alone. He was still going to die fighting for what is right.

What a strong scene...

What an amazing climax this scene had, whole movie was a real banger.
Single-Pianist-22112025-10-18 17:28
- powered up Thor coming down from the sky (in Ragnarok or infinity war take your pick)
- Thor holding open the star forge
- Cap with the helicopter
Icy_Cry41202025-10-18 17:31
Oh yeah infinity war-Thor's landing was just cinema. No movie has ever made me feel that way since.

Cap lifting the hammer and cap saying "Avengers assemble." Those two are my fav moments. Nothing beats that.

I would add Thor in Ragnarok after he trucked Hela and then came flying in to fight her minions on the bridge.
ScuttleCrab7292025-10-18 20:45
I’d add the shot of Hela catching Mjolnir. At this point it was considered no one but the worthy could stop Mjolnir.

Winter Soldier punching Cap's shield. Straight from the comic. (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f1/84/c5/f184c55f2e61f87c8b1b0c4b79794fbf.jpg)

His funeral scene is absolutely gorgeous, too. I tear up just thinking about it.
EternalMage3212025-10-19 04:36
And that's my argument to the "James Gunn can't make the DCU as good as the MCU" crowd. He did that much with just 3 movies. Let the man cook.

Definitely the intro scene to age of ultron. That slomo freeze frame shot after they’ve beat the breaks off of struckers men was super fun to watch.
hirschneb132025-10-18 17:51
I love all of the later saga shots, but I think one of the most iconic is either the first Thor-Iron Man-Cap meetup in the woods, or the first full team shot in the city

Jambo112025-10-18 18:05
Unsurprising that three of those shots would be from the same movie.
(Those particular screen grabs were personal choices, of course, but there's still no denying how impactful Tony Stark was/is as a character and Iron Man as a film. It being the movie that started a massive cinematic universe, it was bound to have numerous moments that are very resonant.)
**"For your consideration: the Jericho."**
**"The truth is...I _am_ Iron Man."**
**"Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative."**
Without a doubt, *"I am Iron Man"* is the most iconic, not just among your selection, but from throughout the MCU.
"The Jericho" is just a cool shot.
"I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative" is pretty iconic, too, because audiences went in to see an Iron Man movie, not necessarily expecting it to lead to something bigger...they just didn't know it yet.
SaxyCookies2025-10-18 18:07
If you weren't there when that Civil War trailer dropped with Spider-Man, then I just don't know what to tell you. The Cap moment was definitely awesome in theaters though.

Ragnarok with Mjolnir spinning around and obliterating Surtur's skeleton guys and then Thor being chased by the dragon.
And everyone craps on Love & Thunder but that one also has one of my favorite shots where Jane throws the fragmented Mjolnir and it splits into projectiles, strikes the monster guys and then the *ting-ting-ting-ting-ting!* sound as it returns to her and forms back into the hammer.

RyantheAustralian2025-10-18 18:28
Quite simply: when Thanos emerges from the portal in Wakanda and most of the heroes see him for the first time. No big gestures. Barely any gestures, actually, but sooo intimidating. He looks exactly as massive a threat as he had been built up as all that time

Soooo many amazing moments!
10 to 6. Sooo many moments from Winter Soldier one of my favourites with its 70s conspiracy/paranoid tone.
5.When you see Thor's hammer in the post credit scene of Iron Man 2.
4. 'Underoos!' Nuff said.
3. The first Avengers movie from the moment Banner says 'I'm always angry' to that circular shot of them all together for the 1st time the theme music in full flow ending with Cap giving tactical orders finishing with 'and Hulk? smash!'
2. Avengers Age of Ultron when the Avengers are fighting all those Ultron robots in slow motion. Instant wallpaper shots. The amount of times I've paused, rewind and watched in slow motion just make sure I didn't miss a thing.
1. Avengers Endgame. The hammer going to Cap was a WTF!! moment. The portal opening with the return of the heroes plus that piece of music did and still turn me into a blubbering wreck! Then when Cap says '....Assemble!' Omg. Epic, epic moment.
