Every Major MCU Hero's Greatest Ever Moment

23. Nebula - Killing Her Past Self

Nebula’s journey throughout Guardians 1 and 2, Infinity War, and Endgame has been one of the greatest redemption arcs in the MCU’s long history. She started as a younger sister trying to make Thanos proud no matter who she had to kill, but grew and evolved first into a Guardian of the Galaxy, and then an Avenger.

There can be no greater showing of such a transformation than Nebula having to physically face off against the villainous version of herself from the past. The Nebula that still wanted Thanos’ affection travelled through time to win back the Infinity Stones for her father, and came face to face with the completely changed version of herself from the future.

Nebula’s past could have easily gotten the better of her, however she stayed strong in her convictions, and believed that she had changed for the better. She didn’t need Thanos anymore, she was an Avenger, with a family around her, and she put those past demons to rest once and for all.
