History AvengersInfinityWar / TropesSToZ

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Thor arrives to Wakanda with the Stormbreaker and mows down a bunch of Outriders. They are so terrified of him that they begin to flee.

* SeenItAll: After a decade of dealing with the unusual, the MCU as a whole has reached [[Characters/MCUPhilCoulson Phil Coulson]] levels of "take crazy things in stride".

** Nebula ends up being the only one of Thanos' children alive in the end, as Thanos sacrificed Gamora and the Black Order were all killed in battles.

** Eitri is really unhappy to see Thor, saying "You were supposed to protect us. Asgard was supposed to protect us!" Thor explains that Asgard was destroyed.
** Tony is distraught at Strange giving up the Time Stone and asks "Why did you do that!?" Like Thor, Strange is able to a give good answer why, which shuts Tony up.

* ShoutOut: Collected in the [[ShoutOut/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel Cinematic Universe Shout-Outs]] page.

* WritersCannotDoMath: A line in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' ("We were eight at the time.") hints that Thor and Loki might have been raised as twins, and the MinorKidroduction at the beginning of ''Film/{{Thor}}'' shows them looking the same age (both actors were 11). However, while ''Thor'' shows that the battle against the Frost Giants was in 965 (which is also likely Loki's birth year), 1053 years before the events of Infinity War, in this film Thor states that he is 1500 years old.

* SinisterStrangulation: Thanos [[NeckLift lifts Loki up by the neck]] and starts to choke him. He draws out the strangulation a good while, with Loki desperately struggling, while also making sure that Thor [[ForcedTooWatch is watching]]. Eventually, he squeezes even harder wearing a PsychoticSmirk and [[breaks Loki's neck]], killing him.

** See "SurroundedByIdiots above regarding Tony Stark amongst the Guardians.

* TakesTenToHold: If Thanos' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown opening fight]] against the Hulk wasn't enough evidence of just how terrifyingly strong Thanos is even without the Gauntlet, it takes the combined efforts of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy just to hold him so that they could remove his Gauntlet (already infused with the Power, Space, and Reality Stones), and even then, Thanos had to be kept off-balance while Mantis is mentally suppressing him. ''Even then'' they are struggling to keep him that way, and the second Quill accidentally frees him from Mantis' control (via punching Thanos in the face after Quill learned of Gamora's death), Thanos ''immediately'' throws all of the heroes to the ground and starts showing what he can really do with the Infinity Stones he already had.

* ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow: Peter ditches his field trip to investigate the spaceship, and help Tony Stark and Doctor Strange

* YouCantThwartStageOne: It wouldn't be an ''Infinity Gauntlet'' adaptation without it.When Gamora warns that Thanos gaining the Reality Stone in addition to the Space and Power Stones already in his possession will make him too powerful to stop, Thor bluntly replies that he already is. Thanos gathers all the Infinity Stones and, despite Thor ''running him through'' with Stormbreaker, wipes out half of all sapient life. The surviving heroes are left to pick up the pieces and somehow make things right in the sequel.

*** ''Endgame'' shows that all three of them survived both Thanos's assault and the snap.

** Nebula ends up being the only one of Thanos' children alive in the end, as Thanos sacrificed Gamora and the Black Order were killed in battles.

* SoleSurvivor: After Thanos's fingersnap turns half of the universe's population to dust, Rocket is the only surviving member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

** The mid-credits scene of Film/AntManAndTheWasp shows the same event happening when it's daytime in San Francisco.

** Hawkeye and Ant-Man never appear in the movie. It's revealed that after ''Civil War'', they both turned themselves in and worked out plea deals so they could go back to their families; their fates (and that of their families') after Thanos wiped out half of the universe's population are not revealed, either.

** Aside from when it sneaks up on Tony at one point, nobody really bats an eye at [[LivingClothes the Cloak of Levitaion]] when it's moving independently from Strange.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Mantis and Drax are never apart in this film.

-->'''Okoye:''' Why was she up there all this time?

** Tony cannot counter Thanos' fighting style the way he did Steve's in Civil War because he is cut off from Friday, who can perform these complex calculations mid-fight. Similarly, Peter cannot use all of the advancements of the Iron Spider suit for the same reason.

** Vision's phasing ability is nullified after being stabbed, and he is physically severely weakened. Near the end, he's stabbed again and can't retreat when Steve begs him to. Later, Thanos grabs him by the throat and he cannot phase through his fist.

** Thanos's possessions of the Space and Reality Stones let him counter many of Strange's most powerful spells (and it's implied Strange is using the Time Stone against him).

** Thanos' ring-shaped spaceships feature cool-looking spinning effect to produce ArtificialGravity.
