The Avengers have had many memorable confrontations over the course of the four eponymous films. It will be difficult for Avengers: Doomsday to top them, especially with these seven fights.
#1 Black Widow vs Hawkeye - Avengers (2012)
Between aliens and gods, there are also humans. Black Widow and Hawkeye (controlled by Loki) did well to remind us of this with an excellent fight. It may not be the most spectacular, but it is very well choreographed, with the characters making excellent use of the limited space. It is even better in retrospect when we think of their exchange in Avengers: Endgame. #2 Hulk vs Iron Man - Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Facing the jade giant, Tony Stark brings out the Hulkbuster, a very imposing armor that will cause a lot of damage. This is probably the best fight of the first two Avengers not only for its spectacularity, but also for its message. It clearly shows the negative impact that the team can have on the population, and underlines the guilt of Bruce Banner who cannot control himself.
#3 Thanos vs Hulk - Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
We have rarely had a better entrance on stage. Thanos wipes out Hulk, one of the strongest characters in the MCU, in less than a minute. It's an impressive display of strength that shows the villain doesn't need the Infinity Stones to be scary. For Hulk, well, it was a traumatic event, so much so that he won't be the same again, to the detriment of fans even if they remain hopeful for the future.
#4 Scarlet Witch and Vision vs. The Black Order - Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
The fight involving the superhero couple is a real manhunt. The confrontation with Thanos's team unfolds in parallel montages in different parts of the city before Wanda and Vision reunite. The pace is breathtaking until the final flourish with the epic intervention of Captain America, Falcon, and Black Widow. The confrontation is the very definition of "unity is strength", something the heroes lacked before this film.
#5 Thanos vs Doctor Strange - Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
The events on the planet Titan left a lasting impression on fans. With such a powerful opponent, it was Doctor Strange's chance to show his full potential. The sorcerer cleverly countered the villain's attacks, proving to everyone that he could stand up to an opponent of this caliber with more than just force. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, but during this moment the character rose in esteem in the hearts of fans.
#6 Captain America, Iron Man and Thor vs Thanos - Avengers: Endgame (2019)
The three most iconic superheroes of the MCU fight hand in hand against the final villain. There is clearly nothing more epic than that, apart from the moment when Steve Rogers fights with Thor's hammer. We can only feel a pang in our hearts when we think that in the first Avengers they had fought each other and now they are collaborating.
#7 Scarlet Witch vs. Thanos - Avengers: Endgame (2019)
This fight has the taste of revenge. In Infinity War, Wanda failed to save Vision. In Endgame, she managed to defeat Thanos. Like Doctor Strange in his time, Scarlet Witch reveals her incredible abilities. It is clear that in other circumstances, she would have made short work of Thanos.
