10 Times The MCU Totally Subverted Expectations
3. None Of The Original Six Avengers Dying In Infinity War, And Who Did Die
Avengers: Infinity War pits the Avengers against their toughest enemy yet. Thanos has the power to do almost anything once he has all six Infinity Stones, yet he didn't kill any of the original six Avengers.
Admittedly, Hawkeye wasn't there, but Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor got off lightly considering the likes of Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Star-Lord got taken out by the snap. With the massive hype around Infinity War, and the suggestive trailers, people were expecting either Captain America or Iron Man to die but it didn't happen.
Sure, Thanos seriously hurt Tony, but he didn't die, and that surprised a lot of people. What was more surprising was who did die in the movie, starting with Loki and Heimdall. With fan-favourite characters such as Spider-Man and Black Panther dying, Infinity War caused a lot of confusion and certainly went against what people were expecting.
