The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off a year-long celebration of its 10-year anniversary by posing for what was deemed a “Class Photo” on October 7. In that way, it also feels a lot like an Avengers: Infinity War appetizer.

When Marvel Studios has a class photo, only 79 of the coolest kids get invited to pose, which means that just like in Avengers: Infinity War, everybody from the TV shows gets left out.
