Animator Reimagines The Avengers' Climactic Battle Against Thanos With 16-Bit Graphics
Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of a decade of superhero films starring the biggest stars in Marvel's stable. It's one of the highest-grossing films of all time and is considered by many to be one of the best comic-book films to date. The Marvel Cinematic Universe didn't start until 2008 with Iron Man, but what if we were able to experience Infinity Wars' massive action scenes long before that in the form of an SNES game?
Before you go any further, it should go without saying that this article and video contains spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.
The team behind YouTube channel Mr Sunday Movies has reimagined one of the most climactic scenes from Infinity War with 16-bit graphics. In the scene, characters like Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Drax, and Star-Lord collectively struggle to defeat Thanos, protect the Time Stone, and wrestle away the Infinity Gauntlet from the Mad Titan. Of course, if you've seen the film, you know things didn't quite go according to plan.
Check out the awesome 16-bit version of that fan-favorite scene below.
