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 d🧸ay, 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 iꦺn the universe.

That🌟's the kind of 'evil scheme on steroids' that needs every superhero Marvel curren🧸tly 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:

30 Everyone's Reaction After Watching The Movie ෴

Avengers: Infinity War goes so far beyond being the st🌜andard 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 superherꦏoes 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 i🎃n 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. Sꦜo 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 destru💯ction, 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 mi♉nutes of the movie over and over in their heads.

29 The Avenger Who'⛄s Absence Was Not Missed

So Hawkeye was not present in Infinity War. He does not even get a single scene f🍬or 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 univer🌟se-encompassing damage inflicted by Thanos. And then maybe we can put to rest all those 'Hawkeye is us🅰eless' jokes.

28 🐼 The Unexplained Strength Of Captain America

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 Tﷺhanos is a guy who not only went to꧙e-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 kissin♛g 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.

27 The Guardians Of The Galaxy All Cru꧙shing On Thor

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 do꧋wn 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 p🌠irate 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 al⭕so 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 inferio♛rity complex.

26 🌜 So Much Screaming In The Movie

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 T𒁏he Avengers, The Guardians of The Galaxy, the e💃ntire 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 forꦇces 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 proꦇves 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 reꦛminded us that no matter how powerful Earth's heroes might be, there are several vastly more powerful beings out their in the universe.

25 Marvel Just Keeps Hittin🌃g One Home Run After Another

This meme is really just a reminder that the MCU machinery, even after a decade, iౠs still working just fine, cranking out one critically acclaimed box-office smash after anotheꦉr, 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 crit♊ics were singing a different tune within a week after the movie d🍌ecimated 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 slugfe⛄st 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 Black Panther, 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.

24 ෴ 𒊎 The Heroes Who Were Not invited

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 tꩲhe 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 a𒈔 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 Th🃏e 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 Infinity War 🍌will definitely spill over to the TV shows and cause problems for The Defenders.

23 Throwing Major Shade At The Competi🐈tion

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 co꧒mpanies 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 critic🎃s 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 movievers⛎e by successfully creating the biggest movie franchise o🌜f 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.

22 🐓 The Thanos Effect

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 direct𒉰or 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 encounte༺ring Hulk.

The Thor from Ragnarok seemed to bജe close to getting his life together. He had hꦡonored 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 som💯e measure of happiness to Thor's life.

21 The One Surefire Way To Resist Thanos ♏

Could the solution really have been so simple?

The Vision was one of the first ꦦcasualties 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 h🐲ave🎶 done wonders to allay suspicion and keep Thanos off his scent.

Who knows, if Vision had managed to convince ꧒the 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.
