For 10 years, the folks at Marvel Studios have been building the foundation for this weekend. Well, this weekend and a weekend next summer as well. Avengers: Infinity War is set to crush the entire entertainment industry beneath its feet this weekend, as it brings in heroes from all 18 movies based in the Marvel universe together in one two and a half hour festival or special effects, action and comedy. They’ll do the whole thing again next year in the second half of the story.
With the first of the Infinity movies now out, its time to look back at how we got here, and figure out which movies built the foundation better than others.
