The power of the whole Infinity Gauntlet was needed to fulfil Thanos's master plan, but if the special effects are any indication, it was one stone in particular that did the job.

Nothing like a little father and daughter bonding time! Hold on a second — is this before or after Thanos butchered most of his adoptive daughter Gamora’s real family? What does it matter... look how adorable they are! Bonus points: These two cosplayers are actually father and daughter.

Even though much of the tonal and stylistic inspiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes directly from the publisher’s Ultimate universe line, it’s rare that its comics and movies interact all that directly aside from a handful of film tie-ins. But the new issue of Infinity Wars is raising our eyebrows just a bit.

In the three months since its release, Avengers: Infinity War has become a staple of pop culture dialogue. Thanos, his snap and the jokes are already integrated into our everyday lives. So you’re probably wondering, is there really more we can learn about this massively successful movie? It turns out the answer is a very big yes.

Avengers: Infinity War ends with one of the grandest, bleakest setpieces in Marvel movie history - directly inspired by a moment right out of the comics. But that wasn't always the case, according to the movie's screenwriters. In fact, fans could've been kept waiting until Avengers 4 to see Thanos' grand plan unfold.

Lego stop motion is one of life's simplest pleasures. For the viewer, anyway. For the creator, it's immensely complicated, time consuming, and generally very hard to pull off well. Fortunately, some creators do it very well indeed. And now Lego has come to the Infinity War.

You know what we're talking about. The thing. You know, that one? Look, let's just get past a spoiler warning and dive into what we're actually talking about.

Only the truly worthy can wield the power of a god. That definitely includes award-winning cosplayer Pepper Monster, AKA Sarah Maefs. For our latest episode of Cos/Play, Maefs breaks down how to build the newest iconic weapon from Avengers: Infinity War, Thor's Stormbreaker. We also learn how Maefs made her first cosplay out of T-shirts, and why she got Mjölnir tattooed on her arm. Check it out!

The hottest game in the world has teamed up with one of the biggest movie franchises around, and while it's technically a marketing ploy, damn if it isn't a good one. This is the most fun I've ever had with Fortnite.

Don't let his superpowers fool you: Thanos' arrival in Fortnite is surprisingly silly. Players are taking advantage of Thanos in the best ways, or using Thanos to spread cheer. Given that Thanos is supposed to be a homicidal villain, seeing him in Fortnite's ridiculous world has been amazing.

Fortnite's next big limited event will feature a Marvel villain that will change the way the game works. Here's what to expect.

What fan wouldn't want to own an original piece of superhero art drawn by their favourite Avenger? Now you can and all proceeds go to charity! Just remember, they're actors, not artists.

It's time for a spoilerific Avengers: Infinity War chat on today's Kotaku Splitscreen.

Marvel Studios has revolutionised the way we watch movies in a particularly weird way - a decade ago, most people left the cinema the moment the credits began rolling. Now, swathes of moviegoers diligently sit through all the credits, hoping to see a little something extra. Marvel's latest film Avengers: Infinity War does this, but it's so much more than an extra.

Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones comes to a head in Avengers: Infinity War, but the movie also finally gives us the reason why the Mad Titan has spent six years' worth of post-credits teasers gathering such vast cosmic power. And, perhaps surprisingly, those motivations have deep roots in the comics.

Kratos has an obvious connection to the Avengers, but there's a more subtle one lurking in the new God of War: Turns out the game has its own Infinity Gauntlet.

When in doubt, lie.

Avengers: Infinity War is demanding, heartbreaking, exhilarating, massive, and dense. More than seemingly any movie so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it requires its viewer to be intimately acquainted with all the films that come before it - and, if you are, it's rewarding and audacious in ways the franchise has never been before and isn't likely to be again. It's a movie that is not screwing around.

This according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
