10 Greatest “I’m Dead And I Know It" MCU Moments
4. Thanos - Avengers: Endgame
You had to know some serious comeuppance was heading the Mad Titan's way on the back of snapping half of life out of existence in the closing stages of Infinity War. Sure enough, by the time Endgame caused the planet to stand still in 2019, Thanos was treated to not one, but two gloriously cathartic deaths.
Yet, due to the fact his first end early into the epic gave him next to no time to prepare for the after-life, thanks to Thor's uncontrollable desire to redeem himself, we can only really consider his more understated second demise for this list.
But what his dusting at the hands of a triumphant Tony Stark loses in shock factor it more than makes up for in sheer spectacle. As Thanos' world quite literally crumbles around him and his plans to bring balance to the universe are emphatically thwarted by Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the compelling force takes a seat and comprehends his defeat.
No roars of desperation. No attempts to flee for safety. Not even a last word to his better adversary. Just the visual of the biggest threat in the universe coming to terms with the ultimate loss.
