10 MCU Moments More Important Than You Realised

10. Proxima Midnight's Relationship With Corvus Glaive (Avengers: Endgame)

The members of Thanos' Black Order weren't fleshed out very much during Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, with their backstories being removed from early drafts of the Infinity War script due to the movie being too crowded.

Still, there are various moments throughout both movies where we can glean more information about their personalities, histories, and relationships, like this one shot in Endgame where Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive hold each other shortly after Tony's snap (on the right-hand side of the image above), when Thanos and his forces are disintegrating.

It's an easy-to-miss detail that you might simply assume is a display of friendship as the two face their deaths, but it's actually much more than that.

As confirmed by Endgame co-director Joe Russo, Proxima and Corvus are in fact married in the MCU (a detail lifted straight from the comic-books, and one that was supposed to be shown in that aforementioned cut backstory), making this a tragic moment of two lovers sharing one final embrace.
