Every MCU Credits Scene Ranked From Worst To Best

16. The Avengers - The Arrival Of Thanos

Scene: The Other (Alexis Denisof) tells his master about the failed attack on earth. His master turns around... it's Thanos!

This was a terrific bit of set-up for the big bad of the MCU and one that was refreshingly subtle too. In hindsight, now that we know what Thanos (played in this first appearance by Damon Poitier) would become, this scene actually hits quite a bit harder than before.

The CGI on Thanos kind-of sucks though.
