As the dust settles on Infinity War and the sounds of snapping ring in everyone's ears, we offer 30 hilarious memes to heal the heartache! The Avengers: Infinity War released a few days ago, and the whole world rejoiced. It broke the highest box-office opening numbers on its first day, for the first weekend, and became the fastest movie to cross the 1 billion mark in cinematic history. The movie is proving to be quite popular, is what we're trying to say. The internet reacted to the movie the only way it knows how to: by creating lots and lots of memes about every single aspect of the movie. And there was a lot of stuff to create memes about. The movie is almost three hours long, and it is stuffed full of exciting characters, explosive moments and stunning revelations. For starters, the big bad villain of the film, Thanos, plans to use the infinity gauntlet comprising of the six infinity stones to wipe out half the life in the universe. That's the kind of 'evil scheme on steroids' that needs every superhero Marvel currently holds the rights to. Reports vary on the exact number of heroes in the movie (was Ant-Man not present or simply too small to be noticed?), but almost every frame carried a memorable interaction between superhero characters all learning to play nice with each other in order to take on Thanos together. Here are some of the most hilarious and memorable memes that the internet has come up with to explain the events of Infinity War. Keep in mind, these memes contain several Spoilers! about the movie, so tread with caution: THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Everyone s Reaction After Watching The Movie

via pinterest.com Avengers: Infinity War goes so far beyond being the standard superhero movie. The villain is more powerful than anyone can imagine. The heroes, even when standing together, find themselves hopelessly outmatched. Without being too spoilery, we can say that the movie ends with several major superheroes and supporting characters disappearing into nothingness, snapped out of existence thanks to the Infinity Gauntlet. Needless to say, fans who were excited going into the cinema were in a very different mood upon exiting the cinema. Watching the heroes who have spent the last decade defeating one bad guy after another finally bite the dust was a profoundly disturbing experience. The one ray of hope in fan's lives right now is the fact that the sequel to Infinity War has already been announced. So while the current movie apparently ends with the decimation of The Avengers and Thanos completing his mission to restore balance to the universe via wholescale destruction, there is a strong possibility that the sequel will show the villain getting his comeuppance. But for now, all that fans can do is replay the traumatic last ten minutes of the movie over and over in their heads.

The Avenger Who s Absence Was Not Missed

via reddit.com So Hawkeye was not present in Infinity War. He does not even get a single scene for himself, and his absence is hand-waved away by a throwaway comment about him being under voluntary house-arrest. Now, sure, Hawkeye's last appearance saw him being taken prisoner for helping an enemy of the state, Captain America, but you'd think the biggest threat the world has ever faced would be a good enough reason for Clint Barton to take his archery set out of the closet again. To be fair, the creators of the movie and the Marvel universe as a whole have stressed that Clint Barton does indeed have an important part to play in the unfolding events. The guy is an Avenger after all, even if he insists on using a weapon that became obsolete two centuries ago. So it would be safe to say that the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War will see Clint play an important part in the proceedings, most likely teaming up with Ant-man and Captain Marvel to undo the universe-encompassing damage inflicted by Thanos. And then maybe we can put to rest all those 'Hawkeye is useless' jokes.

The Unexplained Strength Of Captain America

via dorkly.com There is a breathless moment near the end of Infinity War when Captain America finally comes face to face with Thanos himself. At first, Thanos tries to brush Cap aside with a wave of his hand. But Cap astounds the Titan, along with everyone in the audience, by not only stopping Thanos's descending hand but actually managing to hold him back for several seconds. Keep in mind that Thanos is a guy who not only went toe-to-toe with Thor and The Hulk at the same time but absolutely destroyed them. So how on Earth was Cap able to hold back the giant on his own? Well... keep in mind that Steve Rogers is close to a hundred years old at this point, and he has not been with a woman in all that time. The closest he ever came to having physical release was a heavy kissing session with his one-time girlfriend's niece. So would it be so crazy to assume Steve 'took matters into his own hands' when it came to finding a release for all that pent-up energy and frustration? Regular solo sessions could have given Steve that unexplained super-strength.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy All Crushing On Thor

via pinterest.com One of the funniest scenes in an otherwise super-serious movie was when The Guardians of The Galaxy chanced upon an injured Thor. The unconscious God of Thunder came slamming down onto the window of the Guardian's spaceship and slammed himself straight into their hearts. From Gamora openly admiring Thor's extremely muscular physique to Drax comparing him to both a pirate and an angel, it's safe to say that Thor had already impressed the Guardians before he even gained consciousness. All of this proved greatly unsettling for Star-Lord, who's used to being the charming rogue of the bunch and who can flirt his way into any one's good books. For once, Peter Quill saw a man who was simultaneously more masculine and also much prettier than him. It was hilarious watching Star-Lord try to match up to Thor's charisma. He tried to make his voice deeper and more authoritative and even came to the realization that he needed to exercise more to keep off the fat. Ultimately, the Guardians and Thor formed a partnership to defeat Thanos, but it's clear that Star-Lord is still nursing a bit of an inferiority complex.

So Much Screaming In The Movie

via pics.me With almost every single Superhero in the Marvel Universe coming together for Infinity War, fans were initially worried that they were going to be too powerful for the Villain to feel like a threat. After all, what power could stand against the combined might of The Avengers, The Guardians of The Galaxy, the entire Kingdom of Wakanda, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the sorcerer supreme himself, Doctor Strange? Boy, were we wrong! Turns out not only is Thanos strong enough, but he's ridiculously overstrong. The entire movie is basically a series of meetings between various superheroes and the forces of Thanos, only for the heroes to be utterly destroyed after each encounter. Even when the heroes learn to combine their might by the end of the movie, Thanos still proves to be far stronger. The movie ends with the Mad Titan actually succeeding in his quest to end half the life in the universe, and offing several heroes in the process. This movie was actually a humbling experience for Marvel fans. It reminded us that no matter how powerful Earth's heroes might be, there are several vastly more powerful beings out their in the universe.

Marvel Just Keeps Hitting One Home Run After Another

via wired.com This meme is really just a reminder that the MCU machinery, even after a decade, is still working just fine, cranking out one critically acclaimed box-office smash after another, with no signs of stopping. When Black Panther released earlier in the year, some critics wondered if the movie's box office would suffer for being a mostly-black cast. The same critics were singing a different tune within a week after the movie decimated the competition at the box office and overnight made Black Panther cooler than Batman. Then a new cry arose from the critics. Would the success of Black Panther hurt the box office take of Infinity War? After the intimate portrait of a superhero that was Black Panther, would the audience accept another knockdown, drag-out slugfest with too many heroes? But once again, critics were underestimating Marvel's ability to bend the box office to their will. Infinity War not only beat BlackPanther, but it is well on its way to becoming the biggest hit in the history of cinema. Forget superhero fatigue, audiences are more keyed up than ever for the sequel to Infinity War releasing next year.

The Heroes Who Were Not invited

via imgur.com So complete is the dominance of the MCU in the minds of audiences that they sometimes forget the universe extends beyond films. The TV shows Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Agents of Sheild all exist in the same universe, and in the same reality as the movie Avengers. Which now begs the question, "where exactly were the tv heroes during the events of Infinity War?" Sure, they don't have a Hulk or a Thor among them, but Jessica Jones and Luke Cage can more than keep up with the movie heroes when it comes to the final showdown. Is it possible that the TV superhero team, who call themselves The Defenders, were merely feeling sore that The Avengers called upon the Guardians of the Galaxy on the other side of the universe before giving them a call? Or did they take one look at Thanos and decide to sit this fight out? We wouldn't blame them if they did. Incidentally, creators behind the Marvel TV shows have already confirmed that the effects of InfinityWar will definitely spill over to the TV shows and cause problems for The Defenders.

Throwing Major Shade At The Competition

via imgur.com You know the staggering success of Infinity War would be incomplete without a reference to DC's still struggling movieverse. When Justice League was about to release last year, loyal fans dared to hope the movie would be able to give healthy competition to next year's Infinity War and bring the two biggest comic book companies in the world on a more even keel. Yeah... no. Justice League, upon its release, was at best met with a lukewarm reception by critics, and only managed to gather 800 million dollars at the box office. Infinity War bested the record in the first four days of its release, not to mention winning praise from critics for being an engrossing, skillfully made blockbuster with one of the best villains of all time. At this point, DC fans pretty much only have the option of ignoring the Marvelverse entirely while they wait for Aquaman. Meanwhile, Marvel has closed phase 1 of their movieverse by successfully creating the biggest movie franchise of all time. At this point, the DC/Marvel race isn't so much a rabbit vs tortoise deal as it is rabbit vs intoxicated rabbit running in the wrong direction.

The Thanos Effect

via pinterest.com It's strange that the last time we saw Thor in his own movie was in the hilarious Thor: Ragnarok. While still a part of the Marvelverse, you could feel the imprint of director Taika Watiti's oddball sense of humor all over the narrative. And Chris Hemsworth was allowed to exercise his excellent comedy chops to give us a happy Thor, who acted like an excited schoolkid upon first encountering Hulk. The Thor from Ragnarok seemed to be close to getting his life together. He had honored his father's last wish, reconnected with estranged brother Loki and was preparing to lead his people to a better tomorrow. Then Thanos came along. In the first ten minutes of Infinity War, he had eliminated Loki, decimated the tribes of Asgard and beat both Thor and Hulk to within an inch of his life. That's quite a U-turn for the God of Thunder's life to take. As of Infinity War, he is the last of his people, and up against a villain who, despite Thor's efforts, was able to complete his mad scheme to restore order to the universe. Hopefully, the sequel will return some measure of happiness to Thor's life.

The One Surefire Way To Resist Thanos

via imgur.com Could the solution really have been so simple? The Vision was one of the first casualties of the war that Thanos's children brought to Earth, in search of the infinity stones. Apparently, the big thing about the stones is you need to wear them as conspicuously as possible. When Tony suggest sticking the infinity stone in Dr. Strange's care down an undiscoverable hole, Strange acts as though Tony is an idiot. But considering all that went down, maybe Tony's idea wasn't so bad. Vision certainly could have done better with not displaying his stone so prominently on his forehead. A simple cap could have done wonders to allay suspicion and keep Thanos off his scent. Who knows, if Vision had managed to convince the followers of Thanos that there was nothing under his cap, they may have gone off Earth to report to Thanos that the stones were not on Earth. And the movie would have ended an hour earlier. After all, Thanos doesn't seem to actually be able to sense the stones but needs visual proof or outsider knowledge to know which planets house the stones, like Earth and Vormir.

The Dumbest Move In All The Marvel Films

via reddit.com When the stakes are high, the last person you want to have present in the room is Star-Lord. This fact has been soundly confirmed by Infinity War. In the movie, Tony, Spiderman, Dr. Strange, and the rest of the guardians, (save Gamora) all join forces for a combined attack on Thanos, trying to wrench the Infinity Gauntlet off his massive hand. They very nearly succeed, until Mantis reads Thanos's mind and reveals that he ended Gamora on Vormir to capture the Soul Gem. That piece of information made Star-Lord lose all sense of control, and in his rage, he actually managed to make Thanos return to his senses just in time to keep a hold on his gauntlet and defeat the heroes. Look, we're not saying we don't sympathize with Star-Lord. But you can't really call yourself a true superhero until you learn to set aside your personal grief for the greater good. Thanks to Star-Lord's help, Thanos was finally able to gain full control over the Infinity Gauntlet and use its power to wipe out half of existence. So much for Star-Lord being the leader of the heroic Guardians of the Galaxy.

Thanos VS The Forces Of Hair

via reddit.com One thing that has been noted by longtime fans of the MCU is that the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes has steadily gained hair over every visible inch of his face. At this rate, we might see him looking like a Chewbacca knock-off in the sequels. And Bucky isn't the only one. Captain America grew a depression beard after his falling out with Tony. Dr. Strange went on a journey of self-discovery after losing the use of his hands, and emerged with the powers of the Sorcerer Supreme, and also a sick goatee. Even Tony's facial hair has grown more prominent in Infinity War. All that glorious hair possessed by the heroes stands in stark contrast to Thanos, who looks like a colored egg. Could this be a sore point for the Mad Titan? Visiting planet after planet, encountering one superhero after another, all with their glorious tresses flying in the wind? For now, it's interesting to see if Bucky will ever let an electric razor near his face again, especially once he inevitably takes over for Steve Rogers as the new Captain America. Don't be surprised. It's already happened in the comics.

The Meeting We Were All Waiting For

via knowyourmeme.com With the movie that kickstarted the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark established himself as the master at delivering off-the-cuff one-liners that confounded enemies and delighted audiences. Then Guardians of the Galaxy came along, and we were introduced to Star-Lord, the one guy in the MCU who can keep up with Iron Man when it came to banter. Naturally, fans were super-psyched to find out that the Guardians were going to be a part of Infinity War, and that Star-Lord was finally going to come face to face with Iron Man. And the scenes we got did not disappoint. While the meeting started off with an obligatory 'Superheroes mistaking each other for the enemy' fight, they soon joined forces to make a plan to defeat Thanos. At least, Tony tried to make the plan, just like he does with The Avengers. But then Star-Lord bluntly told him that his idea sucks and that Tony need to let him come up with a plan instead. Clearly, Star-Lord has seen too much of the galaxy to be impressed by Tony's Iron Man tech or the 'rich and arrogant' vibes he inevitably gives off during a first meeting.

The Only Protection The Heroes Have Against Thanos

via knowyourmeme.com If you haven't read the comic books, you might have seen pictures of Thanos from the movies and thought, 'Oh great, another intergalactic conqueror just like Loki, Ronan, or Hela. How is this one guy going to take on every Avenger and Guardian together?' But then Thanos actually got in on the action in the first ten minutes of Infinity War, and it quickly became apparent that even the strongest superhero was like a kid in front of the Mad Titan. We went from wondering if Thanos was going to prove to be a credible threat to watching in helpless horror as he wiped out half the superhero roster with the snap of his fingers. At this point, the only thing protecting the Avengers is the prayers of the fans. If we want to see the heroes who have passed away play a return date, we better be willing to prove to Marvel that we really, really want to see them in future movies. So, as it turns out, the greatest power of the Avengers isn't super-strength or magic hammers, but the ability to appeal to Marvel's key audience demographic.

That Other Guy Is Also Thanos

via imgur.com Josh Brolin plays Thanos in Infinity War. He also plays Cable in the upcoming Deadpool movie, meaning that Brolin will most probably have two blockbuster movies competing at the box office, both from the same Comic Universe. This leads to all kinds of interesting speculations about the narrative possibilities. Deadpool, being Deadpool, has already cheekily addressed the overlap in the movie trailer. But it would be even more hilarious if the reference shows up in the Infinity War sequel. It would also be the perfect way to introduce Deadpool to the MCU. To have Cable and Thanos come face to face and be struck by their similarity before deciding to slug it out for the future of the universe. Such a development isn't possible while the rights to the characters belong to different companies (not to mention Cable would lose that fight hard). But fans can still dream. It would be pretty hilarious to find out that all this while Cable had been secretly moonlighting as Thanos, and the whole quest for the Infinity Gauntlet was all part of some twisted bet he'd made with Deadpool to harass the Avengers on a cosmic scale.

Today We Are All The Comic Book Guy

via pinterest.com For the longest time, the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons was the personification of the geek persona for the rest of pop culture. A morbidly obese, ponytail sporting owner of a comic-book store with a bored, condescending attitude towards anything that doesn't have to do with geek culture, Comic Book Guy was an unfortunate stereotype for actual geeks to be saddled with. But as it turns out, the release of Infinity War turned us all into the Comic Book Guy. The movie has become such a cultural milestone that it has put comic book culture on the map like no movie before it. A similar effect was observed on the elevated profile of science fiction with the release of the original Star Wars trilogy, and for fantasy with the release of Harry Potter. Now it's the turn for comic books, and Marvel is making sure every person with the remotest interest in pop culture knows about their new movie. Aside from making the most expensive movie ever, the exhaustive marketing campaign for the film started almost a year ago had got audiences salivating for a trip to the theatre.

The Long Tough Road For Captain America

via twitter.com In the decade's worth of movies that have led up to Infinity War, perhaps no other superhero has suffered in the name of duty as has Captain America (although Thor could give Cap a run for his money after the first ten minutes of Infinity War). Steve Rogers started out a simple guy who just wanted to help with the war effort. An experimental serum introduced him to the powers of a supersoldier, and he embraced his role as Captain America. Only to be frozen in a block of ice for his efforts. Waking up 70 years later, Steve discovered that all the people he had loved were lost to him, either having passed away or grown old and infirm. The only link to Steve's past was Bucky, the brainwashed criminal. Civil War saw Steve being torn three ways, with a desire to do his duty battling his loyalty towards Bucky and the rest of the Avengers. Really, considering what he's gone through, there's no wonder Cap felt the need to grow a post-depression beard and refuse to smile, like, ever. But hey, at least he still has both eyes, right Thor?...

We All Need A Drink And A Hug From Leonardo Dicaprio

via reddit.com Everyone who watched Infinity War in the theatre came out of the place feeling weak and in need of a drink. Seeing all your favorite heroes bite the dust will do that to you. When you've seen literally half the universe perish at the hands of a despot who doesn't quite understand how the process of supply and demand works in nature, you're going to feel the blues for a long time afterward. We know cinemas can't afford to have Leo waiting outside every theatre, holding out a soothing drink for anyone who wants it. But they could have arranged some look-alikes for the job or something. Considering the number of tragedies that have befallen Leo in all his movies, he could have given audiences some perspective on the sense of loss they were feeling. So Thanos turned half the superheroes into dust. Was it as bad as watching the love of your life floating on a wooden door in the middle of the freezing ocean, and refusing to scoot over and let you climb on and save yourself? How about getting beaten up by a bear?

The Avengers Do Get To Have The Last Laugh

via imgur.com With the end of Infinity War, the internet went into a mourning phase. Eulogies were written for the favorite characters who were lost to Thanos. Lots and lots and lots of art was created based on the film. And don't forget the memes. Oh man, the sheer number of memes. But them amidst the somber mood of the film, you get a picture of the cast, laughing and joking as they film the movie, and you realize that Marvel loves the fact that the movie caused this many tears and sadness. Because the movie rode all that fan frenzy to the top of the box office, where it's been sitting pretty ever since, after becoming the fastest movie ever to make a billion. So console yourself with the knowledge that while your favorite hero may have perished, the actor playing him never has to work again, thanks to all the money they're going to make off of Infinity War. Also, because the franchise is so lucrative, you can be sure the superheroes will be returning to the big screen very soon, and there ain't nothin' Thanos can do about it.

Marvel Took The Last Bastion From DC With Infinity War

via pinterest.com In case you missed it, some fans take the rivalry between Marvel and DC very seriously. Most fans are content to cheer on good films from both companies, but a small and very vocal sub-section is obsessed with pitting the two against each other and proving one is inherently superior to the other. With the poor performance of DC films, the one argument that DC fans made in the past was that at least the trailers for the DC films were better. There was some strength in this argument since DC is known to experiment more with their cinematography, which makes for flashier trailers chock full of interesting imagery centered around brooding superheroes. But with Infinity War, Marvel finally pulled out all the stops and gave the world its most popular trailer. Racking up a 200 million+ view count within 24 hours, the trailer proved to everyone just how much of a hype there was for the Avengers movie. Justice League may be the older, more well-established superhero team in comics, cartoon shows, and video games, but the dominance of the Avengers when it comes to live-action movies is undeniable.
