10 Emotional MCU Scenes That Made You Cry

10. Thanos Sacrifices Gamora - Avengers Endgame 

Thanos was a villain Marvel started teasing in the first Avengers film. At first, we barely knew anything about him; he seemed like another generic big monster for our heroes to fight. So, few expected him to be the empathetic antagonist he ended up being, and this moment perfectly showcases that.

This character has a defined purpose and goal in life: to save all living beings by eradicating half of them. Hey, nobody said the purpose made sense. It's this same destiny led to one of the most difficult and heartbreaking decisions of Thanos' life.

To obtain the Soul Stone necessary to fulfil his self-appointed fate, he needed to offer a sacrifice: somebody he loved. And there was only one person he cared for more than anyone: his daughter Gamora. So, with a heavy heart, he took her by the arm and threw her to the depths of Vormir, sending her to her death in a tragic moment for both him and the Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Many heroes lost their lives later on due to the snap, but Gamora was different. Her death was permanent, making it even more heartbreaking to know that we'll probably never see her the same way again.
