Warning: This post contains massive spoilers for Avengers: Infinity Wars and older Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While we expected some deaths in the magnum opus that was Avengers: Infinity War, we didn’t expect to lose half the universe. However, when the time comes, Thanos’ finger snap wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, henceforth referred to as The Snap, meant that half the denizens of the universe were instantly wiped away.
That this wasn’t your average, common and garden movie with absolutely no stakes was clear in the beginning that something was odd when fan favourite Loki is choked by Thanos with a dire-warning that he wouldn’t back this time. Heimdall is the next one to go, and it appears that killing gods or Asgardians isn’t a big deal for the Mad Titan. Even that didn’t reveal just how many Avengers would disappear by the end of it.
Here’s a full list of Avengers who died before The Snap, after it and whose whereabouts are unknown:
Loki: Killed by Thanos in Infinity War. He will however be seen in Avengers 4, which could very well be a flashback scene.
Heimdall: Murdered by Thanos and his children when they invade Thor’s ship. Before dying he opens up a portal to send Bruce Banner/Hulk to earth to warn them about the impending doom.
Gamora: Perhaps the most emotional death in the movie, when it’s revealed that Thanos loves her like a daughter but will have to sacrifice her to possess the Soul Stone.
Vision: Wanda destroys the Infinity Stone inside Vision’s head but Thanos rewinds time and crushes his head before taking the Infinity Stone. A colourless Vision is left lifeless.
