What are the differences between the three phases of the mcu?
Answers
I have searched it in the internet....
MCU: An acronym that stands for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the world created by the collective narratives of its 22 films.
Phase 1: Here we meet our main heroes: Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. Together, these heroes form The Avengers, a superhero group managed by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury that is designed to protect Earth from the universe's greatest threats.
In the franchise's first cross-over film, The Avengers take on Thor's brother Loki, who is intent on taking control of Earth. Loki has a scepter that contains the Mind Stone, and seeks out the powers of the other stones.
Having stolen the Tesseract (which contains the Space Stone) from S.H.I.E.L.D., Loki uses it to open a wormhole in the middle of Manhattan. A massive battle, often called the Battle of New York, erupts and The Avengers are victorious.
In a post-credits scene for The Avengers (2012), we get our first glimpse of the Infinity Saga's main villain, Thanos.
TL;DR: There's a whole bunch of superheroes trying to protect the people of Earth and keep a fancy cube that can make wormholes and a magic scepter with mind-control powers out of the hands of bad guys.
Phase 2: Following the Battle of New York, The Avengers face new foes in the forms of terrorist group HYDRA, the artificially intelligent Ultron, and alien war lord Ronan the Accuser. Luckily, a whole bunch of new heroes, like The Guardians of the Galaxy, Winter Soldier (aka Bucky Barnes), Vision, and Ant-Man, join in their fight.
Throughout the many battles to defeat these major threats, the heroes encounter two new Infinity Stones: the Reality Stone and the Power Stone.
The Reality Stone is discovered by Thor's love interest Dr. Jane Foster, who is infected by its powers in the form of "the Aether." Eventually, the Aether/Reality Stone is extracted from Foster, only to fall into the hands of yet another villain.
The Guardians of the Galaxy encounter the Power Stone, encased in an artifact known as The Orb, and spend much of their first film attempting to protect it from Ronan the Accuser, who seeks it out for Thanos.
Additionally, we are first introduced to the idea of The Quantum Realm through Ant-Man.
TL;DR: We meet more heroes, more villains, and two more stones. The game of "keep the cosmic lucky charms away from the bad guys" that began in Phase 1 continues.
Phase 3: With more films than either of the MCU's other two phases, the final chunk of the Infinity Saga covers a lot of ground. Here are the most Endgame relevant storylines to know.
In Captain America: Civil War, The Avengers fight each other over proposed oversight of The Avengers and fallout of Phase 2, creating a sizable rift between Captain America and Iron Man. Eventually, everyone winds up back on the same page.
Following the Clash of The Avengers, we are introduced to a whole bunch of new heroes, the most Endgame relevant of which is Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange, a skilled sorcerer and protector of time, gains control of the Time Stone and vows to protect it from evil forces.
Then, comes the big show: Infinity War.
After a long fought battle, Thanos gains control of all six Infinity Stones, sacrificing his daughter Gamora at the planet of Vormir in exchange for the Soul Stone.
It soon becomes clear what Thanos wanted the Stones for: a vast and merciless population control scheme through which half of the universe's inhabitants will turn to dust, so that the remaining half can thrive.
With a snap of his fingers, known as The Snap or the "Decimation," Thanos wipes out half of the population and half of our heroes.
TL;DR: Thanos is triumphant, gaining control of all six Infinity Stones. He then snaps his fingers and wipes half the universe's population out of existence. The follow up to this massive defeat is where Endgame begins.
