In 2008, Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ten years and 20 movies later, everything culminated with Avengers: Infinity War. The superhero epic pitted earth's mightiest heroes against Thanos, the evil villain first introduced in The Avengers. Throughout the years, Marvel has been careful to satisfy diehard fans of the comics while also making the material accessible to new audiences. Basically, some comic storylines stayed the same, while others were forced to be changed. If you want to know all the biggest differences between the comics and the movies, here they are. Spoilers ahead.

You won't believe the real reason Thanos wanted to take half of the universe!

Infinity War in the comics is actually the sequel to Thanos' Quest and Infinity Gauntlet. The events of the cinematic version of Infinity War roughly follows the events of those two storylines.After being defeated in the comics Thanos retreats, turns his costume into a scarecrow and becomes a farmer. In the movie, he does the same thing to celebrate his victory.

The Infinity War storyline then sees Adam Warlock create doppelgangers of the Avengers. They try to take over the universe. The storyline that follows that is called Infinity Crusade. In this case, Marvel simplifying things for the movies was probably the right decision.
