10 Sci-Fi Movie Villains That Killed The Hero
6. Avengers: Infinity War
By the time Infinity War came about, Marvel had already established that our favourite heroes were not infallible. But surely, surely nobody would have the guts to kill them off... would they?
Turns out, they would. With battle after battle waged and lost against Thanos and his forces, it all began to look bleaker and bleaker for our heroes. So when it came to that last standoff in Wakanda, we all believed that there was a possibility they could still walk away barely clinching a victory. Even when Thor flew in with a fresh new axe and a vengeful look in his synthetic eye, our hope endured.
And then it happened.
Snap.
One-by-one our heroes fell away, turning to dust before our eyes. Even little Spidey (in one of the most emotionally cruel scenes of any movie ever made) wasn't safe from Thanos' wrath. As we watched these characters we had loved for a decade simply just fade away, not even the prospect of the next movie potentially bringing them back could shake off that cold sense of disbelief.
If there is one way to ensure your movie remains memorable, this is it.
