talk to you about the avenger initiative for this list we're looking at our favorite marvel moments that swiftly went viral be on the lookout for spoilers and if we missed your favorite earth-shattering hulk smashing moments be sure to let us know about it in the comments alright let's get into it number 20. wakanda forever avengers infinity war when black panther was finally introduced into the marvel cinematic universe fans were beyond pumped this never gets old but that could not have prepared us for the absolute exhilaration of wakanda's foray into the battle against thanos everything about this moment the music king t'challa's leadership the fierce battle cry is absolutely perfect and had fans whooping in their theater seats watching chadwick boseman in any of these movies is bittersweet now but this moment makes us tear up a little more than most it's such a strong moment for the character and for all of wakanda wakanda forever killmonger vs t'challa battle for the throne black panther several mcu outings have had a bit of a villain problem but killmonger stands apart from the pack as one of the very best particularly because he kind of has a point y'all sitting up here comfortable must feel good it's about 2 billion people all over the world that looks like us but their lives are a lot harder wakanda has the tools to liberate them all and while we love the final fight scene and dialogue between him and t'challa the fight for the throne has to be one of the mcu's most jaw-dropping moments is this your king we always expect the hero to win and whenever they don't it is shocking but what really pushes this fight over the edge is the raw emotion from both t'challa and killmonger it's personal for both of them and that makes it exhilarating to watch number 18. cap wakes up captain america the first avenger talk about a wake-up call the first installment in captain america's trilogy is one of the best introductions to a character in the mcu and steve rogers crashing the valkyrie into the icy arctic along with his emotional goodbye and promise of a dance to agent peggy carter is a hell of a way to end a movie you're gonna need a rain check on that dance but then steve opens his eyes this moment is internet breaking not just because it sets up the avengers movie so perfectly but also because we slowly figure out what's going on right along with steve and it's exciting and heartbreaking in equal measure you've been asleep cap for almost 70 years luckily steve made good on that promise of a dance eventually number 17 dr strange's cosmic trip dr strange open your eyes with the introduction of doctor strange into the mcu we got a closer look at a lot of frankly very weird aspects of the universe when dr steven strange suffers a car accident that ends his surgical career he seeks help from the mysterious ancient one who introduces him to dimensions beyond our own of course the pragmatic strange requires some proof which brings us to this wildly trippy sequence open your eyes strange finds himself hurled through time and space in a beautifully bizarre way that had fans watching the scene over and over truthfully we will never unsee all of those hands yuck number 16 star-lord's entrance guardians of the galaxy come and get your guardians [Music] the first guardians of the galaxy movie was a huge surprise hit and the amount of killer music and dancing throughout the film definitely has a lot to do with the movie success right from the jump fans knew this wasn't your typical mcu flick thanks to this stellar opening sequence as chris pratt shimmies and shakes his way through an extraterrestrial cave fans were delighted for a change of pace what a way to meet star-lord who star-lord man legendary outlaw guys the introduction certainly made this scene one of the most watched in marvel's history and one of the most fun to sing along to number 15 cap holds the helicopter captain america civil war sometimes all you need to break the internet is a good set of biceps which captain america definitely has when bucky barnes aka the winter soldier is triggered into his brainwashed state a full-on brawl ensues as he tries to escape there is plenty from this fight to get excited about but the ultimate pause the movie moment comes when captain america stops bucky's helicopter from getting away with his brute strength alone [Music] it's an incredible feat of strength and it doesn't hurt that he looks great while doing it judging by the look on bucky's face he was impressed too number 14. where is gamora who is gamora why is gamora avengers infinity war this moment in avengers infinity war would have been incredibly important anyway any time different members of the universe meet up for the first time audiences are bound to be excited but this first time meetup also had the benefit of including some of the funniest heroes in the franchise when gamora is kidnapped by thanos the other guardians run into tony and co while looking for her but they start out thinking they're on opposite sides i'm going to ask you this one time where is gamora yeah i'll do you one better who's gamora i'll do you one better why is gamora it's the misunderstandings and slow realizations that make this moment comedic gold number 13 luis tells a story ant-man tell us about that tip louise i was at a wine tasting with my cousin ernesto which was mainly red and you know i don't like reds man you know but there was a rose that saved the day it was delightful and he tells me about this girl emily that we used to kick it with it was actually the first pair of boobs that i ever touched it's the wrong details so ron has nothing to do with the story ant-man has the supreme honor of being one of the mcu's funniest movies and so much of that is due to michael pena's performance as scott lang's best friend luis after scott gets out of prison he's trying to keep on the right side of the law but no one will hire him because of his criminal past in an act of desperation scott agrees to join luis and his pals on a heist not only does this directly lead to scott becoming ant-man it also gives us this incredible storytelling sequence from luis the bit is so good they had michael pena repeat it in the second movie tell away luis we'll be here to listen i'll see that's complicated because when i first met scotty he was in a bad place and i'm not talking about cell black d his wife had just filed for divorce and i was like damn homie she dumped it when you're on lock up and he was like yeah i know i thought i was gonna be with him forever but now i'm all alone number 12 black panther's introduction captain america civil war by the time the third captain america installment reached theaters a black panther movie had been in talks for decades and in this film fans finally got to see him join the mcu the first time fans saw chadwick boseman on screen as t'challa was amazing enough but the black panther's introduction comes a bit later in the film as bucky barnes tries to escape after being framed for the explosion in vienna the famed black panther catches up with him the two fight their way across the rooftops of bucharest and this amazing scene hyped fans up even more for the eventual black panther standalone film [Music] your highness number 11 baby groot dancing guardians of the galaxy vol 2. after the opening of the first guardians movie did you really think volume 2 wouldn't deliver at the end of the first guardians groot sacrificed himself for the group in a beautiful moment we still tear up when we hear we are groot and was reborn as a baby tree and that little tree makes his presence known in a big way in volume 2. [Music] as the rest of the guardians engage in a brutal battle against a tentacled monster in the background baby groot wriggles his way across the screen jamming out to electric light orchestra without a care in the world once again a perfect opening [Music] number 10 the elevator fight captain america the winter soldier before we get started does anyone want to get out the second installment of the captain america trilogy is chock full of some of the best action scenes in the entire mcu but the one we've watched over and over online has to be the incredible elevator fight following nick fury's apparent death cap meets with alexander pierce at shield hq but on his way out he's ambushed by shield's own men this moment is a true turning point in the mcu not only is it a stunning action sequence it also marks the moment we realize we can't trust anyone not even shield number 9. nick fury's first stinger iron man if you're a fan of the marvel cinematic universe at all you know you can't leave the theater before the credits finish rolling or you might miss the all-important post-credits scene there have been plenty of scream-inducing stingers over the years the first glimpse of thor's hammer comes to mind so we found it but our favorite and perhaps the most important one is nick fury's appearance in the first iron man fury is the link between all of the avengers and this scene signaled to fans what was to come because of this moment we knew this wouldn't be a one-off superhero movie we were in for something greater and great it turned out to be who the hell are you nick fury director of shield huh i'm here to talk to you about the avenger initiative number eight thor vs hulk thor ragnarok and now we come to one of the most joy-inducing moments in all of the mcu in one of its most hilarious installments thor ragnarok marks the moment where thor as a character finally hit his stride and the franchise started to use chris hemsworth's comedic chops to their full effect then you have seen ragnarok the fall of asgard the great prophecy hang on hang on let me back around shortly but with this moment the movie also opened our eyes to the hilarious possibilities when you put thor and hulk together everything about the relationship between thor and hulk and bruce 2 in this movie is perfect and this moment starts it all off with that iconic line we know each other he's a friend from work number seven jay jonah jameson reveal spider-man far from home long-term spidey fans have been through numerous film series with the character going back all the way to 2002 with sam raimi's first spider-man jk simmons as jay jonah jameson is a standout they're crap crap crap mega crap the editor-in-chief of the daily bugle has always been a thorn in spider-man's side but he hadn't yet shown up in the mcu's run so when he's revealed at the end of spider-man far from home fans lost it this was a huge moment for the mcu not only because we got more jk simmons we could never get enough but also because it introduced the idea of the mcu delving further into the multiverse we can't wait to see who shows up next but that's not all folks here's the real blockbuster brace yourselves you might want to sit out number six peter parker's introduction captain america civil war underoos [Music] speaking of spidey how about peter parker's introduction to the mcu this was a moment fans weren't sure would happen spider-man's film rights belonged to sony and for a good while talks between sony and marvel appeared to have come to a standstill luckily for fans everywhere in february 2015 the companies came to an agreement and we finally got spidey in an mcu movie the casting in this moment is perfect tom holland is peter parker and marissa tomei as aunt may and the intro sets up the beautiful mentor relationship between peter and tony plus it was super fun to see teenage peter parker react to being around real life superheroes at the airport fight you have a metal arm that is awesome dude number five hulk smashes loki the avengers hulk smash and hulk smash mark ruffalo's introduction as the hulk in the mcu comes in the first avengers film and what a fine hulk he makes ruffalo's gentle approach to dr bruce banner only makes his transformation into the enraged hulk that much more thrilling and sad honestly but this particular moment is anything but sad in fact it's downright hilarious as the avengers work to defeat loki in the battle of new york things come to a head when loki attempts to talk down to the hulk bad move loki hulk grabs the puny god mid-sentence and proceeds to smash him all over the place i am a god you dull creature and i will not be bullied by that puny god theaters everywhere burst into laughter and this moment went down in history as one of the most rewatchable number four thor lands in wakanda avengers infinity war you guys are so screwed now the final battle in avengers infinity war is filled with heart-pounding action from cap facing thanos alone to of course that wakanda forever moment we talked about earlier but the most cheer-inducing moment from this battle comes from the god of thunder himself thor spends most of the film away from his fellow avengers galavanting through space and trying to find himself a new weapon when he finally gets said weapon stormbreaker he arrives to the battle in internet breaking style thor bursts on the scene with rocket and groot at his side and we could not have been more pumped [Music] number three i am iron man iron man in a lot of ways tony stark is the heart of the marvel cinematic universe and we almost picked his incredibly selfless snap moment in end game iron man but we had to go with the moment that bookends that end game snap and makes it so compelling in the first place at the end of the first iron man movie tony is faced with a choice hide his identity or embrace it of course he chooses the latter and comes clean in the most tony stark matter-of-fact way possible right before the credits roll i am iron man it's one of the first truly memorable moments in the mcu and one of our favorites number two on your left the final battle avengers and game there are so many get your heart racing moments in endgame but for this entry there's no better pick than the final battle particularly when sam's voice sputters into cap's ear as he says on your left on your left it's an excellent call back to sam and cap's first meeting back in winter soldier but it's also much more than that seeing all the avengers who thanos snapped away come back led to some of the greatest theater reactions of all time the relief on cap's face is palpable and we feel it too avengers assemble before we continue be

but the titular heroes spend much of that first get together at odds it takes a lot to bring them together but when they finally do it is worth the wait the shot is absolutely iconic the music the 360 swing around there's just something about seeing our heroes come together that hits we love seeing the avengers get together for any reason whether it's for a party at tony's tower or for some post battle shawarma but the first moment the avengers really assemble still gets our hearts racing after all this time so are you pumped be sure to let us know in the comments which mcu moments broke your
