“Unlocking the Secrets: How ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Redefined Superhero Storytelling and Changed Cinema Forever”
Having suffered a personal catastrophe of his own that resulted in the loss of his family, Thanos becomes a kind of “Mad Malthus” character who is convinced that the universe cannot support its existing population and must somehow be corrected to allow just half of that population to survive.
As the Avengers saga develops, particularly in the four key Avengers installments, the initially murky motivation of Thanos gradually becomes clearer, until it is finally made explicit in Infinity War.
At the end of Infinity War, “The Thanos Plan” has succeeded. Thanos has gathered together all six “Infinity Stones,” the collection of which is the ultimate McGuffin of the Avengers films and indeed the entire MCU, and proceeds to use them to wipe out half of all life in the universe with a single snap of his fingers. Thus, the scene is set perfectly for Endgame, in which the surviving half of the universe, including the remaining Avengers, must somehow find a way to undo what Thanos has done.
