Thanos removes half of the universe in "Avengers: Infinity War" | RT '21 most memorable moments

It was perhaps the biggest cliffhanger in film history and, for Marvel fans, the most devastating: Thanos (Josh Brolin), having acquired the Infinity Stones and escaped the Avengers' attempts to thwart his plans , remove his fingers covered with glove and clean them. HALF THE UNIVERSE. Tail credits! While most viewers knew that everything would be solved in a neat way in the upcoming Avengers movie, and that Spidey and co. was not REALLY gone for good, the Snap was still one of the most radical movements of modern consumer cinema. (Just ask the screaming and sobbing fans at the end of the movie.) In this exclusive interview, filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo reveal why they decided to end "Infinity War" on such a dark note, how they arrived in the picture of "Dusting" and why, in the end, it was the story of Thanos and the Snap was the perfect end of their epic Avengers. This collapse of the scene is part of Rotten Tomatoes' Most Memorable Moments series, which celebrates the most electrifying, terrifying, moving and hilarious moments of the past 21 years.
