From the opening scene—a brutal decimation of the Asgardian refugee ship—the audience understands that this is not business as usual. The Russo Brothers structure the film as a series of intersecting heists. Thanos and his "Children" (Ebony Maw, Cull Obsidian, Proxima Midnight, and Corvus Glaive) are hunting the six Infinity Stones. The Avengers, split into three distinct groups, are desperately trying to stop him.

It’s the Empire Strikes Back of its generation. Darker, stranger, and utterly confident in its downbeat ending. Thanos sits on a porch, armor hung like a scarecrow, smiling at a sunrise he doesn’t deserve to see.
