Truly impressive and it seams like even Marvel won't be able to match that again.

Yeah. I think in our lifetimes what Marvel did with their films leading up to Infinity War/Endgame was nothing less than a genuine 'Cinematic Event.'
I dont think ever before has any studio ever built up an epic universe with dozens of characters, interwoven over a decade and a dozen-plus movies and team-ups and cross-overs to culminate in a finale like that.
Love it, hate it, whatever, you cant help but admire and respect it.
That was the textbook execution of a tight plan and it was pretty epic.
If someone said to me that the pinnacle of comic book films of all time was 'Infinity War' I would not be inclined to argue with them.
And yeah...I sincerely doubt they could do it again.
Largely because, frankly, I also sincerely doubt that any of us sitting in the theater in 2008 anticipating 'Iron Man' had the faintest clue as to the ride we were about to go on.
