Question for those who were lucky enough to see this scene in theaters when it was released: what was going through your head while watching it?
the music when thanos arrives in wakanda is scary

I don’t know. I was snapped away.
Came back in a empty theater 5 years later.
GyrKestrel2025-10-24 20:09
Could be worse. My theater was snapped in halfway through some movie about Taylor Swift's tour.
Genuinely thought I was dead, and this was the afterlife.
davetbison2025-10-24 22:18
You’re both lucky the theater was still there when you snapped back in. I landed seat-first on pavement and my popcorn was gone.
RAMBOxBAGGINS2025-10-25 10:46
Could be worse. My theater was snapped in halfway through some sci-fi action movie directed by Zack Snyder.
IDontFeel24YearsOld2025-10-25 04:18
I check your profile to see if you too were snapped in the great Reddit purge. Reality is often disappointing.
EightBiscuit012025-10-24 19:35
Something along the lines of:
“Oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit”
And then as Thanos plowed through them all it became:
“OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT”
user00616002025-10-24 19:40
this is the only answer
xxWolfMan1313xx2025-10-24 19:43
This reminded me of the “Holy Shit Balls” song that played while Deadpool fought Juggernaut and that’s how I read this… as a song 🤣
DecoyOne2025-10-24 20:09
I was thinking of the [“shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit” scene](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g-mzZlbVOaE) from Tomorrow War. Terrible movie, but they nailed the dialogue in that scene.
DefStillAlive2025-10-24 20:40
See also the start of Four Weddings and a Funeral and that McNulty and Bunk scene from The Wire
dwide_k_shrude2025-10-24 22:59
I actually like that movie. 😕
Huckleberry84802025-10-24 19:44
It was this. Massive anxiety.
Iliketoplan2025-10-24 19:48
I remember having some hope when Thor and crew showed up, then it just slowly disappears
zenlume2025-10-24 19:54
You're leaving out the part where Thor throws his axe at Thanos and it became:
"FUCK YEAH GET HIM"
Then quickly:
"OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT"
Yeseylon2025-10-24 20:33
I was absolutely stunned. I knew the original Infinity War plot was half of all people snapped, but I didn't think the MCU had the balls to actually DO it.
Sliffy2025-10-24 20:41
Yeah it was very much "oh shit this is gonna actually happen" and they did such a good job with it that you still weren't even really sure until it happened.
27Rench272025-10-25 00:16
Walking out of that theater with my friends is by far the craziest movie experience of my life. 200 people in dead silence like “what the fuck just happened?”
Up until then, superheroes just kinda didn’t lose. Like maybe a few people will die at best, the main characters will get beaten down, but they’ll get their Power of Friendship boost and beat the bad guy at the end!
Nope. Noooooooope.
kashmir19742025-10-25 04:05
This and the Blair witch project were the only movies where I've seen the entire theater leave in stunned silence.
joel-danger2025-10-24 23:47
This was my reaction too. I did not think they would deliver that big of a cliffhanger. I immediately called my mom and said "They killed Spider-man!"
Phoenix314152025-10-24 22:02
“Did we just lose? That’s not supposed to happen, let me see the script”
mightysockelf2025-10-25 12:22
NeutralLock2025-10-24 19:57
Same!
I really thought he was just gonna kill them all and I was so glad when he just beat them.
jojopojo642025-10-24 20:38
For me it was along the lines of
"No way."
"Ain't no fucking way."
"Absolutely NO FUCKING WAY."
"Whew, see Thor got him, there wasn't any fucking w-"
"..."
"NO. FUCKING. WAY."
Then the sounds of children and quite a few adults sobbing in my theater from the Tony and Peter scene. Some mom was trying to comfort her kid. It was surreal. I don't know if I'll ever see a movie with that level of stunned impact again.
Malacon2025-10-24 21:45
There was a young woman in my theatre who was decked out in Avengers gear. Skirt and blouse customized with hero logos. Crazy face of makeup with Avengers logo on her cheek. Hair all done up. Just… Comic-Con level outfit. We saw her on the way in and complimented her.
We also saw her on the way out. Everything was ruined. Her clothes were disheveled, her makeup was run, her hair was frayed like she had been pulled at it. She was still sobbing when we saw her out in the parking lot.
jojopojo642025-10-24 22:43
Yo, I believe it.
It was so silent when post credits scene finally rolled out, punctuated with a couple sniffles here and there (and the aforementioned mom trying to comfort their kid). People started finally shuffling out and even quietly giggled as they made their way down their auditorium but I can't remember leaving a theater with such a *heavy* mood.
siestarrific2025-10-24 23:42
I still remember seeing a kid decked out in Spider-Man gear on the way into the theater and then seeing that same kid looking just so damn crestfallen leaving the theater. I wanted to be like 'he'll be back, kid, don't you worry'.
ShadowAMS2025-10-25 08:02
Damn that's a good word I don't see used much anywhere. Crestfallen.
aod03022025-10-24 21:11
This
gregimusprime772025-10-24 19:35
I thought, oh damn, shits about to go down!
MasterTolkien2025-10-24 21:11
As a comic book fan, I figured that Thanos would win this fight… maybe kill someone… and then the movie would end with him ready to do the Snap.
Or the heroes would find a last minute way to escape, and it would end on a “To Be Continued” moment.
I never imagine in a million years that they would end the film on the Snap and the immediate aftermath. What a jaw-dropping finish.
RaiderHop2025-10-24 21:26
My dumbass was surprised when the credits rolled. I thought I was going to have resolution before leaving the theater 😂
siestarrific2025-10-24 23:49
I thought he would kill more people along the way. Like, I fully expected Drax and Mantis to be goners at Knowhere.
changelingcd2025-10-24 19:36
"I shouldn't have drunk so much Coke. I wonder how much longer this is?"
Grez942025-10-24 19:48
And "I need to pee so badly"
FigureArty2025-10-24 19:37
I thought some of the Avengers were gonna die at Thanos’ hand. Turns out it was just one, and it was at Scarlet Witch’s hand.
CFL_lightbulb2025-10-24 19:50
Only at first!
Lukecubes2025-10-24 19:51
*And then* Thanos' hand
sksauter2025-10-24 20:33
For real, Vision got the short end of the stick. And he was only a couple of years old!
siestarrific2025-10-24 23:46
I hate that shot where Thanos just chucks his corpse to the ground, and it's all colorless. It's so disrespectful lol.
crotchfruit2025-10-25 02:47
The thing that sticks with me about this scene is that Thanos is just looking straight through him like Vision is nothing, focusing only on the stone, like Vision is nothing but a receptacle for the stone.
siestarrific2025-10-25 02:55
He has the rather tender comment to Wanda and then just murders Vision without a word.
b2bpaul2025-10-25 16:54
The more I hear about this Thanos character the less I like him.
gunnarbird2025-10-25 07:40
This scene is crucial for the character. Until then you’ve seen him as this warrior/philosopher who doesn’t wantonly kill, his sole focus is achieving his goal. But when he’s on the cusp of it you see his true nature as a bloodthirsty madman. You’re supposed to sympathize with him to some degree as he’s the protagonist of the movie, and you’re supposed to be disgusted by that scene
Poku1152025-10-24 20:38
Haven't watched wandavision, does he remember dying twice?
Lukecubes2025-10-24 20:48
I haven't watched it since it came out, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I'm not sure it actually comes up.
>!that vision doesn't get a lot of alive screentime!<
TheNeecholas2025-10-24 21:27
He doesn’t initially remember but towards the end of the show comes to learn about what happened.
The show was really well done and the end climax is well worth the whole watch. Some don’t like the line up of the of the show and her next appearance in MoM but fail to see the connection of the end season and at the post credit scene of the show.
coryweston2025-10-25 13:58
wait i literally just realised thanks to your comment that multiverse of madness is MOM. as in wanda as a mom. ffs.
Gilded-Mongoose2025-10-24 22:05
Vaguely - he gets the strangest, briefest flashbacks and insinuations that he's dead. In many ways though it's Wanda's subconsciousness breaking through her own trauma and telling her what the reality is.
I can't remember how Vision does the thing he does in the end, but for the most part any insinuation of his awareness is largely from Wanda's own understanding of it all.
HypnoKinkster2025-10-25 03:46
Honestly, Wandavision is a series you really should watch. Makes Age of Ultron better as well....
CuteLingonberry97042025-10-24 20:50
After the hit Cap took from Thanos' punch, I wondered if he was dead. That was just OP savage.
reallydirtyreallydan2025-10-24 23:39
Recently saw a theory that Cap did die here but Thanos reversed time and he was brought back.
Kev25242025-10-24 19:37
"Thor, where the f... are you?!"
Shag01202025-10-24 19:45
This is pretty much verbatim what I was thinking.
PrimalDeedsX2025-10-24 20:00
Exactly what I was thinking.
Foreverett2025-10-24 21:40
I had no faith in Thor. Even with his new axe he gets his shit rocked by Thanos with just 1 stone.
siestarrific2025-10-24 23:45
I mean, Stormbringer tanked a full Infinity Gauntlet blast so Thor could have very much ended things right there if he had been a little smarter. Of course, it's entirely possible that Doctor Strange saw multiple timelines where Thor decapitates Thanos there only for Thanos to manage to use the Time Stone as a last gasp effort.
Ok-Detail42492025-10-25 03:17
You gotta understand that Thor Loki and hulk were buying time for the people on the ship to escape. They didn't fight back so the ship won't get destroyed also Thor just had a full on battle against hella. You expect him to go up against another strong opponent right away?
THIS_GUY_LIFTS2025-10-24 19:37
Oh my... They're about to get ^(shit on).
Remote-Direction9632025-10-24 19:39

Oh shit
your_name_here102025-10-24 19:41
Never had or have had since - a feeling like it during a film. It was intense from the off and didn't let up.
rwfletch222025-10-24 19:42
It got really quiet and some guy yelled out "you're F'd" and everyone giggled
Wolfwood282025-10-24 19:42
"well I guess this is going to have a dark ending that they'll quickly undo in the next one". Then as each char died I was like yeah they ain't firing all those actors from the MCU lol
vetheros372025-10-24 19:43
I think I was visibly vibrating in uncontainable excitement knowing that Thanos was about to give them the business.
CptnAhab12025-10-24 22:33
Favorite comment on this post lol.
He did give them the business for sure
thortmb2025-10-24 19:43
People in the theater were murmuring to themselves "omg no...."
"....whats going on?"
After the movie people were legit crying
HandsomeBWondefull2025-10-24 20:36
What crying? No, not in my theater. Strangely enough someone was cutting onions during the post-credits scene
monkeyman_312025-10-24 19:44
I mean, knowing that the heros will lose was also just so important.
Everyone in that theater knew from the start that it probably wasnt gonna be a happy ending.
So this is the moment chekovs gun fires so to say
GrandeThighs2025-10-24 19:45
It was dead silence in the theatre. Kept waiting for someone to make the big hero play, and then finally exhaled once Thor threw Stormbreaker. After that is was all loud gasping and dispair
Penguins2272025-10-24 21:03
Same experience here. One of the quietest theaters I've walked out of after the credits.
Malacon2025-10-24 21:49
The whisper quit gasps and “oh fuck”s when the credits displayed “Thanos Will Return”
yllanos2025-10-24 21:07
I remember hearing some people cry when the movie ended lol. Truly magical
Specialist-Neck-78102025-10-24 22:31
I didn’t get to see it opening weekend, so I went the weekend after. The theater was packed, and I’d avoided any and all things related to the movie… so I went in knowing nothing. Talk about a roller coaster. Then, when Thor finally showed up and throws Stormbreaker, fuck yea! Theater cheered like crazy…. And then I was part of the biggest stunned silence I’ve ever seen. The whole place just shut down like a flip had been switched. I remember taking my seat and saying, “No fucking way”…. Was amazing.
shehulud2025-10-25 02:59
I’m 55 years old. I don’t think I have ever experienced a moment like Infinity War in the theater. The quiet. The stillness. The gasps. Then, “I don’t want to go, Mr. Stark,” and someone let out a quiet sob. One gut punch after another. Then the credits.
And then the end credit scene with Captain Marvel was honestly one of these most epic fucking end credit scenes. Cheering when the beeper did its thing.
I can’t think of an experience like that in my five decades in a movie theater.
SLY00012025-10-24 19:45
internal screaming\*
SkyRadiant18792025-10-24 19:45
I was thinking “How fucking stupid are they to keep running at Thanos solo, instead of attacking as a team?”
alonzogonzo2025-10-24 20:14
It always bothered me that the heroes like black widow, who is supposed to be some tactical genius thought it would be a good idea to run at a 8 foot purple man fully powered by magic stones
jojopojo642025-10-24 20:34
It was desperation at that point. Remember that they were trying to buy Wanda every precious second they could so that she could destroy the Mind Stone.
As far as I recall, no one, including Banner, was ever fully aware that Thanos could undo its destruction with the Time Stone.
GranolaCola2025-10-24 21:43
I know someone that did
spidervenom6192025-10-24 23:16
Such a fucking Quack and I will Died on that hill.
rlovelock2025-10-24 21:39
They were just throwing themselves on the grenade. And he one-hit them, one after another.
InterviewUnfair28852025-10-24 19:46
Started crying as I had a bad feeling this wouldn’t end well. Whole theatre was shouting “oh my god!” “WHERES THOR?!” “NOOOOO” etc
YourMomFTW2025-10-24 19:46
Honestly, I thought Cap catching Thanos' hand and Wanda holding him off were epic, but everything else was kind of weak. Not that Nat could do anything, but she just fell down.
TrueLegateDamar2025-10-24 19:51
I love that Cap was both the first AND the last Avenger to fall to Thanos in that scene.
ObsydianGinx2025-10-24 19:47
I thought it was all going to work out in the end. I thought Thanos was going to get his arse kicked
dreamincelestial2025-10-24 19:47
I’ll never forget the stunned silence of the packed audience I was in when the credits rolled. I was one of maybe three people who started clapping at the end because of how damn good it was, and got looked at like I was crazy so stopped pretty quickly lol.
AnodeAnonymous2025-10-24 19:47
Went with my girlfriend at the time who always said that superhero movies are predictable. The heroes win and learn something.
As the credits rolled we both looked at each other with jaws on the floor. She said, “They lost.”
jackospades882025-10-24 21:20
It's crazy because knowing the sequel (but apparently not really a sequel, even though it was coming out a year later, and basically was a sequel) I kind of suspected they'd "lose" somehow.
But I did not expect it that manner. I thought maybe Thanos would kill a few key players or just get all the stones and then vanish. They did a great job!
PlayWhatYouWant2025-10-25 02:06
Why is Endgame 'apparently not really a sequel?'
MarcSpector17012025-10-24 19:48
As much as I love Cap, what went through my head was that they needed a better plan than "stay sharp" and attacking Thanos one at a time. I know Thanos had plot armor, but how about asking the girl who can do magic telekinesis if she can use her powers to remove Thanos's gauntlet, or pull the stones out of it? No gauntlet, and Thor kills Thanos with Stormbreaker. And how about telling Thor to get over here and help fight Thanos right now instead of waiting until the last possible moment to appear?
Plot armor's a bitch.
Savings_Pick71072025-10-24 20:01
They did an Anikin against Douku in Attack of the Clones. "I'm taking him now!"
drpepperrootbeercoke2025-10-24 19:48
The entire movie led to this moment. It was quiet, everyone was scared shitless with how he had just defeated an OP iron man. Nobody expected visions brutal death and thanos snapping. Completely quiet once the movie ended
PrinceOfAllRNs2025-10-24 19:49
I remember thinking that he was going to plow through them and the movie would end right after Thanos got the last stone. Then SUDDENLY lightning, THOR, axe in the chest.
And he fucking does the snap! I looked to the person with me and said, "Holy shit. They really did it."
nage_2025-10-24 19:49
i felt kinda panicky cause i couldn't really think of how they might be able to win at this point. and i guess i was kinda on the right track
DjCyric2025-10-24 19:51
I didn't think Cap stood a chance. I was scared for Cap going against a powered up Thanos.
Then you get the misdirection that maybe it will work out, and then Thanos reverses time. Oh shit indeed.
PayaV872025-10-24 19:51
I was expecting the Wakanda battle to be in the midpoint, and when that was at the end, I realized the snap is going to happen. The biggest WTF was Wanda succeding to destroy the Mind Stone, or Thor arriving to Wakanda. When Thanos reversed time and got the stone I knew the snap is going to happen. It was still shocking, but I remember driving home and talking my wife about he OG6 surviving, and we were sure they are going to sacrifice themselves to bring back everyone else.
KeenActual2025-10-24 19:52
“There’s only 10 minutes left in the film. They’re going to end this on a fucking cliffhanger!”
mikeonbass2025-10-24 21:07
Ive always thought Feige and co must have been kicking themselves that they announced this as Infinity War Part 1 and 2. It all but guaranteed the film would end with the 'snap'.
With that said. When Thor came in I thought they were wrapping it up so my guard went down. Then "You should have gone for the head" spun me out.
BigTimeSuperhero962025-10-24 21:36
I knew some people who didn't know or had forgotten so it totally worked on them
syynapt1k2025-10-24 19:52
Oh shit, who is going to die?
And hurry, Thor!
chompburger2025-10-24 19:53
I think i literally yelled "WHAT THE FUCK"
ShadycrossFade2025-10-24 19:53
I was genuinely thinking how weird this setting is for a final battle
rnilbog2025-10-24 19:53
I went to see it with my roommate at the time. Both of us had worked on Infinity War/Endgame - I had been on it as crew for like 3 weeks and he was a stand in for most of the shoot. Neither of us knew the snap would happen. It absolutely blew our minds. Of course, we had already seen all the people who got snapped shooting scenes for Endgame, so we knew they were going to come back somehow.
Yeseylon2025-10-24 20:35
Even without working on it, we all knew the snapped heroes would come back, too much money to be made for Marvel not to.
rnilbog2025-10-24 20:47
True, but we had both seen *all* of them with our own eyes. It was expected, but we had confirmation.
I also had a scene I worked on with CODE RED SPOLERS to the point where the head of Marvel security had to come talk to me and make sure I was cool. It was Tony Stark's funeral. I figured he was going to die anyway since RDJ's contract was up, so it wasn't as big of a deal for me. I was more annoyed about having to sit on my knowledge of Lebowski Thor for over a year and a half.
Careless_Royal82092025-10-24 19:53
"So I guess the Defenders aren't showing up."
GranolaCola2025-10-24 21:44

j1h152332025-10-24 19:54
Not a thing actually. I was completely engrossed in the experience.
comineeyeaha2025-10-24 19:54
For whatever reason, I had convinced myself that Thanos wasn’t going to get all 6 stones in this movie, and that the cliffhanger would be him getting the 5th one and then killing someone major or something. Since the movie flew by pretty quickly, I didn’t realize we were at the end when he arrived. I should have seen the snap coming, but I was completely floored and truly didn’t expect him to win. When the credits rolled I just sat there staring at the screen for a couple moments before I was ready to talk to my friends near me. This movie was unlike any theater experience I’d ever had before, and still hasn’t been topped. I’ll never forget watching this on opening day.
Thoughtsonrocks2025-10-25 06:53
Yeah pretty much this. It was morose in the theater. Didn't matter if you thought they were going to do it, for them to actually fucking do it was as big of a deal as Empire Strikes Back must've been. To me it's the only comparable movie in both size and surprise gut punch

The worst part was waiting another year for Endgame
Yeseylon2025-10-24 20:35
Best*
Like, sure, we all knew they would come back, especially after Sony announced another Spidey movie. But we spent that year wondering, theorizing, what-ifing. We didn't even know the NAME of the next Avengers movie. It was beautiful.
People need to learn to enjoy anticipation again.
canadiancarlin2025-10-24 20:52
It got so bad I started having dreams almost every night that I had seen it. The dream would end with me leaving the theatre thinking "finally, I've seen Endgame" and then I would wake up "FUCK!"
throwtheclownaway202025-10-24 19:59
It was straight up chilling. I mean, we just spent 2 hours watching him make light work of the heaviest hitters in the MCU and, given that we already know it's the first of a two-parter, we knew the second he got charged by Cap, Panther, etc. that *he's going to beat them*. My stomach just dropped when the fighting started and it was somewhere in my feet by the time he snapped his fingers.
jaythebearded2025-10-24 20:00
It really broke my brain for a moment that he used the stones to travel across the galaxy, I was utterly baffled thinking that they were going to succeed in holding off his armies at wakanda and that there wasn't much time left in the movie so they'd likely win here and then Thanos would be looming on the horizon about to come and hit them for another round and beat them in the next movie and that would be when he succeeds and captures all the stones. When my brain rebooted and accepted WAIT HE REALLY IS ALREADY HERE after a few seconds my gut dropped and immediately knew shit was about to crash and burn for the heroes and it felt incredible to watch.
I still enjoy most of the MCU stuff, I don't join any hate bandwagons on any of it, I think even the shows and movies that get panned are fun to watch and rewatch (aside from L&T). But I don't think anything the MCU can ever come up with in the future will match the power and thrill of seeing infinity war and end game brand new in theaters. I struggle to imagine how any other movie could manage to elicit that level of excitement and joy again in a theater experience in my life time.
I'm so glad I got to experience both those movies in theaters opening weeks, unspoiled, with my dad who's a life long comic lover. We were both so blown away. And some day in the near future I look forward to rewatching with my kid.
Edit: the one single disappointment was the absence of my dad's favorite character since he was a kid, who I of course knew about and so already knew plenty about thanos and the stones. Adam Warlock should have had gotten to play a role in the infinity saga.
FP_Daniel2025-10-24 20:00
I walked in my theater as the last showing walked out. They all looked so sad and depressed. I thought maybe the movie was bad. When this happened, I thought of them because I realized why they were sad.
MobileHoney982025-10-24 20:01

My thoughts were essentially: "Oh yeah, HERE we fucking go!"
ba_dum_tiss_2025-10-24 20:06
"How are they going to pull through and save the day? There's only 10 minutes left in the movie"
AmbivalentAlias2025-10-24 20:06
*Am I prepared to watch Captain America die?*
RoninFPS2025-10-24 20:07
"How the fuck does this end well?" I was still 100% convinced marvel was going to pull something outta their ass and have thanos lose at the last second. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong
GaiusMarcus2025-10-24 20:07
"This can't end well, there's another movie to go..."
N3verGonnaG1veYouUp2025-10-24 20:08
Thanos' theme when he arrives in Wakanda hits so hard, it's probably one of my favorite score uses of the franchise
CarretillaRoja2025-10-24 20:08
Thanos appears: panik
Wanda destroys the gem: kalm
Thanos uses the time stone: panik
Thor throws Stormbraker: kalm
Thanos snaps his fingers: panik
Smooth-Mix-43572025-10-24 20:09
I really didn't for a second believe they're gonna make him snap until he actually did
Ragnarok_6192025-10-24 20:09
Just Speechless

Why are we talking about this like it was 20 years ago. This movie was 6 years ago? These questions are typically asked about like… Star Wars or Wizard of Oz.
Yeseylon2025-10-24 20:42
It's been a very long 6 years. So much has happened that it feels like 2 decades.
Previous_Beautiful272025-10-25 00:54
Thank you I thought I was going crazy like, I’m old but not THAT old. A lot of people were “lucky” enough to see it in theaters, it made like 2 billion dollars.
Chirotera2025-10-24 20:10
I don't really remember my exact thoughts but I do remember that theater was dead silent at the end. Could have heard a pin drop. People weren't mad or anything it was just like, fuck... They all lost. They aren't supposed to lose.
So when Endgame has Steve Rogers pick up the hammer and the theater went bonkers it was very cathartic. They earned that moment.
LaskoMD2025-10-24 20:13
The power went out in our theatre in Miami right in the middle of the snap scene, after some confusion the employees announced it was a power outage, pretty much everyone stayed the 25 minutes or so it took for the power to come back on
Less-Alarm-39742025-10-24 20:14
What was going through my head was this: "The movie is getting close to the end and the heroes haven't even started winning yet."
The same thought went through my head in the next movie when Cap gets up to face Thanos alone before the portals scene.
RihoSucks2025-10-24 20:14
Something along the lines of "this movie needs to hurry up and end cuz I gotta peeeeeeeeeeee"
BoopTheCoop2025-10-24 20:14
My fellow “not a hugger” friend and I were curled up in between our two seats desperately grabby-anxiety-clutching each other.
CA_dot2025-10-24 20:14
So we just saw Tony and those on titan get their asses properly whooped, and I was thinking: so how do *they* do it? I was expecting a smart solution rather than by force.
I was, of course, yelling at Thor to keep going.
Ozzdo2025-10-24 20:15
"How are they going to stop him? They're going to stop him, right? They've got to stop him?"
It never......never......occurred to me that they might lose, so the next few minutes was quite the emotional roller coaster for me and the entire theater. It was absolute pandemonium at the end of it. I had to see the movie again, because I couldn't hear anything over a theater packed full of people freaking the fuck out.
franxxcisco2025-10-24 20:15
The crazy part about it is that I read the comics and figured they would make him win but when this scene happened, I totally forgot about the run time of the movie aling with thanos winning and was thinking that cap was going to save the day somehow. When he snapped his fingers and the movie was over, I was still mind blown they ended it with the bad guy winning.
Sometimes I wish I watch something again for the first time because this movie was exciting to watch after 10+ years of build up.
Animated_effigy2025-10-24 20:16
Having been intimately familiar with infinity gauntlet since I was a child my thoughts were " oh shit here it it comes! These people are not ready for this! " And they weren't.
CaptainBombardier2025-10-24 20:16
Just the silence. There was no music in that scene. No one was making any noise. You're feeling defeated and heartbroken. Then it ends and you don't get to get better. You're just lost. It's not how you ever get while leaving a theatre.
BatmanSwift992025-10-24 20:17
Looking though these comments I feel like I was the only one who wasnt shocked by the ending, when the heroes were being evaporated I thought I was pretty obvious they were gonna come back so didnt really had an impact on me
xdrkcldx2025-10-24 20:17
Honestly, nothing. I was just watching and waiting to see what would happen rather than trying to make up some scenario in my head about what would happen here.
CharlieW772025-10-24 20:18
One of the few times I was literally on the edge of my seat while watching a movie in the theaters.
machinezed2025-10-24 20:18
Oh shit, I really need to pee, why did I drink all of that. I had better go to the bathroom now and hopefully only miss a little action before it ends.
MBVakalis2025-10-24 20:18
"they're all gonna die" and then they actually did. Mind blown
ConnectCulture72025-10-24 20:20
“Someone’s going to die that isn’t Vision. Guess not.” >!That all changed when Thanos snapped his fingers. He has the biggest body count of any person in history now that I think about it.!<
Symbiotic_vengeance2025-10-24 20:20
My thoughts “if strange, Tony, Spider-Man and half the guardians nearly floored him with a cobbled plan not fully knowing each others strengths and powers, surely this group will fare better”
Followed swiftly by “oh god dammit, this is bad”
monsterpoint2025-10-24 20:21
I legit thought that part two was when thanos gets all the stones but seeing that he did in the first movie made me wonder wtf the second movie will be about.
StrawGlasses2025-10-24 20:22
Never in my life have I heard so much dead silence and confusion in a movie theater, especially from a marvel movie
BangarangJack2025-10-24 20:24
At that point the movie was so long, that everyone in the theater knew it was going to end any second which made the suspense and anticipation even higher. I remember everyone cheering when Thor arrives and also when Cap is fighting Thanos, both are such epic moments, but as half of our favorite characters fade out of existence and the movie just ends in silence and the theater goes black for a good 5 seconds, it just gives you chills.
I remember having the same feeling at the end of watching The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug in theaters. That and Infinity War have to be the two of the worst cliffhanger endings in all of cinema history
Raj_Valiant30112025-10-24 20:25
Pure fear and excitement.
Hickspy2025-10-24 20:26
This is when I knew they lost.
Uncle_Beanpole2025-10-24 20:26
My Apple Watch was notifying me that my heart rate was over 120 bpm for the last 10 minutes
PhillipJ3ffries2025-10-24 20:28
Thanos about to put the smack down on these fools
Slownavyguy2025-10-24 20:28
“I really have to pee”. This movie was long.
Dbonker2025-10-24 20:29
Shit just got real!
DiamondHandsDarrell2025-10-24 20:29
The theater was completely silent. As the scene played out and people were disappearing, you could hear people start crying in the theater. "this is no place to die" got me 🥺
Commentaires
Came back in a empty theater 5 years later.
Genuinely thought I was dead, and this was the afterlife.
“Oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit”
And then as Thanos plowed through them all it became:
“OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT”
"FUCK YEAH GET HIM"
Then quickly:
"OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT"
Up until then, superheroes just kinda didn’t lose. Like maybe a few people will die at best, the main characters will get beaten down, but they’ll get their Power of Friendship boost and beat the bad guy at the end!
Nope. Noooooooope.
I really thought he was just gonna kill them all and I was so glad when he just beat them.
"No way."
"Ain't no fucking way."
"Absolutely NO FUCKING WAY."
"Whew, see Thor got him, there wasn't any fucking w-"
"..."
"NO. FUCKING. WAY."
Then the sounds of children and quite a few adults sobbing in my theater from the Tony and Peter scene. Some mom was trying to comfort her kid. It was surreal. I don't know if I'll ever see a movie with that level of stunned impact again.
We also saw her on the way out. Everything was ruined. Her clothes were disheveled, her makeup was run, her hair was frayed like she had been pulled at it. She was still sobbing when we saw her out in the parking lot.
It was so silent when post credits scene finally rolled out, punctuated with a couple sniffles here and there (and the aforementioned mom trying to comfort their kid). People started finally shuffling out and even quietly giggled as they made their way down their auditorium but I can't remember leaving a theater with such a *heavy* mood.
Or the heroes would find a last minute way to escape, and it would end on a “To Be Continued” moment.
I never imagine in a million years that they would end the film on the Snap and the immediate aftermath. What a jaw-dropping finish.
>!that vision doesn't get a lot of alive screentime!<
The show was really well done and the end climax is well worth the whole watch. Some don’t like the line up of the of the show and her next appearance in MoM but fail to see the connection of the end season and at the post credit scene of the show.
I can't remember how Vision does the thing he does in the end, but for the most part any insinuation of his awareness is largely from Wanda's own understanding of it all.
He did give them the business for sure
"....whats going on?"
After the movie people were legit crying
Everyone in that theater knew from the start that it probably wasnt gonna be a happy ending.
So this is the moment chekovs gun fires so to say
And then the end credit scene with Captain Marvel was honestly one of these most epic fucking end credit scenes. Cheering when the beeper did its thing.
I can’t think of an experience like that in my five decades in a movie theater.
As far as I recall, no one, including Banner, was ever fully aware that Thanos could undo its destruction with the Time Stone.
I know someone that did
As the credits rolled we both looked at each other with jaws on the floor. She said, “They lost.”
But I did not expect it that manner. I thought maybe Thanos would kill a few key players or just get all the stones and then vanish. They did a great job!
Plot armor's a bitch.
And he fucking does the snap! I looked to the person with me and said, "Holy shit. They really did it."
Then you get the misdirection that maybe it will work out, and then Thanos reverses time. Oh shit indeed.
With that said. When Thor came in I thought they were wrapping it up so my guard went down. Then "You should have gone for the head" spun me out.
And hurry, Thor!
I also had a scene I worked on with CODE RED SPOLERS to the point where the head of Marvel security had to come talk to me and make sure I was cool. It was Tony Stark's funeral. I figured he was going to die anyway since RDJ's contract was up, so it wasn't as big of a deal for me. I was more annoyed about having to sit on my knowledge of Lebowski Thor for over a year and a half.
Eh, Squidward
Eh, Squidward
Please don't kill Cap
Please don't kill Cap
Like, sure, we all knew they would come back, especially after Sony announced another Spidey movie. But we spent that year wondering, theorizing, what-ifing. We didn't even know the NAME of the next Avengers movie. It was beautiful.
People need to learn to enjoy anticipation again.
I still enjoy most of the MCU stuff, I don't join any hate bandwagons on any of it, I think even the shows and movies that get panned are fun to watch and rewatch (aside from L&T). But I don't think anything the MCU can ever come up with in the future will match the power and thrill of seeing infinity war and end game brand new in theaters. I struggle to imagine how any other movie could manage to elicit that level of excitement and joy again in a theater experience in my life time.
I'm so glad I got to experience both those movies in theaters opening weeks, unspoiled, with my dad who's a life long comic lover. We were both so blown away. And some day in the near future I look forward to rewatching with my kid.
Edit: the one single disappointment was the absence of my dad's favorite character since he was a kid, who I of course knew about and so already knew plenty about thanos and the stones. Adam Warlock should have had gotten to play a role in the infinity saga.
Stop this!
And dead silence by the end
Wanda destroys the gem: kalm
Thanos uses the time stone: panik
Thor throws Stormbraker: kalm
Thanos snaps his fingers: panik
So when Endgame has Steve Rogers pick up the hammer and the theater went bonkers it was very cathartic. They earned that moment.
