1. This Shot

The Avengers

This shot sold the promise of the MCU.

It might be the most iconic and impactful moment in the entire franchise. You know what I'm talking about, right? The shot they ended every trailer with? In the final battle, the Avengers finally assemble in earnest and we get a 360 degree shot showing them all together. Hulk roars, Iron man comes in for a landing, Black Widow loads her pistols.

I bet we could all map it out second by second because it's so memorable. It was a huge fulfilled promise. All your favorite heroes, 4 years worth of movies, all building to seeing them all together, fighting as one. And we got it. Dear lord did we ever get it. I cannot watch this moment, with the music swelling and the beautiful cinematography, without holding my breath just a little bit. The chill down my spine is palpable even now.

it's the entire MCU perfected in one moment.
