It's been a subject for debate, if you're an Avengers nerd like me, as to whether Thanos' Infinity War Gauntlet snap swept up the family pets (and Bucky's goats in Wakanda) in its genocidal tide. According to Marvel Studios co-president Kevin Feige, this was indeed the case.

What started as a suggestion on a Thanos-glorifying subreddit has become a Reddit event gaining international news coverage.

'Infinity War' makes a lot of dubious choices in its relentless drive to get everyone lined up for that shock ending, but one stands out.

Spoilers for Infinity War, and for your destiny.

I was worried about Thanos before Infinity War came out, primarily because I thought his motivation as stated sounded stupid. I was right.

Thanos and Gamora's relationship should have gotten its own movie.

Villainous, disapproving, or disappointing fathers are the MCU's go-to trope.

The Black Order—Thanos' evil henchpeople—aren't very well known to MCU fans who haven't read the comics. We know they look threatening as hell, but who are they?

Directing brothers Joe and Anthony Russo sat for an interview in which they discussed the Mad Titan's background and what's driving his quest for those shiny rocks. But is the audience really going to connect with a villain's desire to exterminate half the population of the universe?

With Michael B. Jordan's performance as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther, the bar has been raised by the MCU in terms of villains. Which leaves us wondering, where will Thanos fall in the line-up of MCU baddies?

Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo recently revealed which of the movie's characters will have the most screen time and who will be "telling the narrative." The three characters who came up? Thanos, Thor, and Gamora.

In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos will apparently display a "super, super, super intelligence," have an evil scheme that "makes sense" on some level, and demonstrate "a capacity to love very much and very deeply." Wait, what?

Marvel kicked off an official 100-day countdown until the debut of Avengers: Infinity War, a movie that we know vanishingly little about except that every movie star in the universe is starring in it.

Here's what we do know.

The Women's March is back this year, and the theme for 2018 is "Power to the Polls." To commit to that theme, they'll launch a yearlong, nationwide voter registration initiative.

It's ... not what you might expect.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige knows fans are curious as to how the biggest of bads, Thanos, will hold up. Thanos has been teased since the first "Avengers" back in 2012, and it's hard to predict from the little we know of "Infinity War" if the empurpled Josh Brolin can meet our outsize expectations. So Feige is stoking the fire.

If you're not a big comics reader, it's totally understandable that you might be wondering what all the fuss is about some colorful jewels and Thanos' big gauntlet to collect 'em all. The Marvel movies have included and teased the gems before, but this is when they'll really come into play.
