10 Most Brutal Moments In The MCU
6. Thor Should Have Gone For The Head - Avengers: Infinity War
No hero in Avengers: Infinity War came out on top. However, Thor lost more than most at the hands of Thanos in this 2018 picture. The God of Thunder lost his home, half of his people are dead, and his best friend and brother died in front of him. So, the Odinson’s journey is that of pent-up anger waiting to burst, and Thor goes to hell and back just so he can create Stormbreaker and take his revenge.
In the last moments of Infinity War, Thanos has just gained all the Infinity Stones and is a few seconds away from his goal of universal genocide. The most satisfying sight is to see Stormbreaker get hurled into Thanos’ chest just before the Mad Titan gets to complete his plan.
The giant axe is lodged deep and the supervillain is left on his knees, gasping for air. Just to savor the moment, Thor lodges Stormbreaker even deeper, complete with sound effects of tissue breaking. The face of the giant purple alien is in complete agonizing pain, though he uses all his remaining will to let the Thunder God know that he should have gone for the head.
With a snap of a finger, Thanos still wins as half of the universe dies.
