Thanos Fights in the Battle of New York In Avengers Fan-Edit Video

A clever fan-edit imagines Thanos arriving on Earth to fight during the battle of New York from 2012's The Avengers. Directed by Joss Whedon, Marvel's The Avengers marked the first ever full team up of the MCU's core heroes, as they came face-to-face with Tom Hiddleston's Loki, who sought to rule over earth. Since then the MCU has come an incredibly long way, with 2018's Avengers: Infinity War having brought entirely new stakes to the team's doorstep, as they fought against the Mad Titan, Thanos.

The Battle of New York is one of the MCU's most important moments, not only because it offered audiences the now iconic team-up shot, but also because it marked the very start of Thanos' destructive and terrifying plan to acquire each of the Infinity Stones. With Thanos having been behind Loki's attack on New York, the villain's grand plan was explored further in Avengers: Infinity War, with the Avengers: Endgame having then dealt with the subsequent fallout. Avengers: Endgame saw the Avengers, now joined by a few other familiar faces, go back in time to collect these Infinity Stones from various other locations, with one particular scene seeing Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Ant-Man revisit the battle of New York.

The video splices together various clips from The Avengers, as well as Tony's vision sequence from Avengers: Age of Ultron, while also cleverly editing
