History Woobie / AvengersInfinityWar

Given that this would be a darker movie than the usual MCU film, practically everyone in the main cast barring the Children of Thanos and [[HateSink Secretary Ross]] have fallen under this trope. By the climax, you can more or less assume that someone in the main cast has died by Thanos's hands, been forced to watch as their loved ones get killed, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs died shortly after being forced to watched their loved ones get killed]].

* Wanda Maximoff in particular could be the biggest of them all. Continuing her long TraumaCongaLine from ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' and ''Captain America: Civil War'', her chance of having a normal life with Vision comes to an end when the Children of Thanos attacks them and nearly kills them both. Then, in order to prevent Thanos from getting the Mind Stone, she was forced to [[StakingTheLovedOne destroy it along with Vision]]. Then to rub salt to the wound, Thanos undoes Vision's sacrifice only to brutally kill him again in front of her. And not long after that, she gets erased from existence by Thanos's BadassFingersnap.
* Coming in a close second is Thor who, after going through hell in his [[Film/ThorRagnarok last movie]], has his people's ship attacked by Thanos. This leads to his brother, best friend (Heimdall), and half of his remaining people being killed. Then after nearly getting himself killed in hopes of getting a weapon that could kill Thanos and save everyone else, he lands a blow that only wounds the villain and gives him the opportunity to finish his plan. As a result, his failure indirectly enables half of the universe's population being erased from existence. And while this is more minor, something to keep in mind is he's still not aware of how the Avengers became of a hollow shell of their former selves at the end of ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]'', and learning that his friends and comrades are no longer on speaking terms in the sequel is almost certainly going to do nothing to lift his spirits.

* Peter Parker, full-stop. His death scene, as he sobs in fear that he doesn't want to die before falling limp into Tony Stark's arms and disintegrating, is regarded as one of the saddest moments in the entire MCU.

* Gamora also falls into this as well. She begins to start a love relationship with Quill, only to get taken away by Thanos to realize that he eliminated half of her kind and took her from her home planet. Worse, she got to witness her adoptive sister, Nebula, be brutally tortured by Thanos in order to make Gamora tell Thanos where exactly the Soul Stone is. When Red Skull makes it clear that she needs to be sacrificed in order for Thanos to retrieve the said stone, Gamora tries to [[HeroicSuicide kill herself]] in order to prevent the stone from coming to Thanos, which will eventually result in trillions across the universe dying. However, Thanos stops her from doing so and, without the support from her friends during her final moments, gets helplessly thrown to her heartbreaking death.

* Nebula is also very sympathetic here, as we finally get to witness just ''how'' horribly she is treated by Thanos, as she is constantly [[AndIMustScream tortured by him in the most excruciating and painful way possible]] so that Gamora will be forced to reveal exactly where the Soul Stone is. To make matters worse, after finally being able to bond with Gamora in [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 their last film]], she had [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther realized that she got killed off by Thanos]] in order to retrieve the said stone. She even once asks Thanos why didn't he just kill ''her'' to end her torment, and Thanos cold-heartedly replies it was because "it would be a waste of parts". Not to mention that she [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone clearly showed legitimate guilt]] that her trying to stop Thanos [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom led to]] the death of her sister whom she finally bonded with, along with the ''trillions'' of innocents across the universe -- tragically including ''all'' of her new teammates sans Tony, as she witnesses them get vanished one by one.
