In the leadup to Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War, one thing has been pretty darn clear: this was a seriously demanding movie for the creative team. From the daunting size of the cast, to the formidable scope of a movie with multiple worlds, Infinity War stands to be the culmination of the company’s entire shared-universe project, which spans dozens of films. That’s a whole lot of pressure, and however you feel about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in general, it’s undeniably ambitious
But the internet, as it is wont to do, immediately started deflating that ambition with their own tongue-in-cheek proposals for the “most ambitious crossover” ever. From The Simpsons to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Space Jam, the Twitterverse had plenty of memorable crossovers to put forward for the crown.

So what would be your suggestions for the world’s “most ambitious crossover event,” TMS readers? I will accept answers that are earnest, absurd, and/or a mixture of both.
