10 Best Fight Scenes In Comic Book Movies
8. Avengers: Infinity War - Thanos Vs. Tony's Team
Avengers: Infinity War had so many blockbuster moments (Thor stopping the power of a star comes to mind) but without a doubt the single greatest fight sequence went down on Titan.
With Thanos having been built up for so long, Josh Brolin’s performance really had to deliver. And deliver it did. While the other Avengers movies have focused on a well oiled unit working together, Infinity War saw Tony Stark leading a ragtag gang of misfits in an assault against Thanos.
Bloody Peter Quill. They might have defeated him if Star-Lord could’ve kept his damn head together. Yes, I know Doctor Strange saw the future and this was the only way they’d win, but still...
The fight itself is so great because we get to see so many different dynamics. Mantis has a purpose for once, we see some sublime action sequences from Spider-Man, and authoritarian Tony Stark always has gravitas. Once Thanos awakes from his hypnosis - courtesy of Quill - we then see the always cinematic Doctor Strange join the fray.
This scene is so successful because it does what every great MCU moment does; milks the characterisation for all it’s worth and throws it into high octane action.
