Thanos’ twist and plans in the MCU were anticipated by the DC Versus Marvel comics.
The Infinity Saga showed the journey of Thanos while He wanted to get hold of the Infinity Stones. to carry out his plans. And right at the end of the Avengers: Infinity War feature film, he finally got all this cosmic power and snapped his fingers to complete his “altruistic” aspirations, according to himself.
All lovers of the MCU know Thanos’s intentions to eradicate half the population of the universe, as part of his God complex and his messiah self-perception. However, although this plot was woven into the films of this saga, many years ago, the DC Versus Marvel comic anticipated these plans and nobody noticed.
Many years ago, the DC Versus Marvel comic anticipated Thanos’ plans
In order to understand this, it is necessary to explain that many years ago, the idea of merging the universes arose DC and Marvel in one. Although, evidently, a plot was given to this.
Basically, in the DC Versus Marvel comics it was possible to see that there are two cosmic deities, one from DC and one from Marvel. Both are above all the celestial figures of both comics and are in charge of watching over them.
However, suddenly, one day these gods became aware of each other’s existence, so they they made the decision to destroy both universes and start one from scratch. But, faced with this situation, the Specter and the Living Tribunal worked together to avoid this outcome and merged both universes, creating the Amalgam Universe.
In this new universe, DC’s characters had merged with Marvel’s, creating new entities. Nevertheless, the deities of both universes enraged, since they felt challenged by simple minor gods. And it is at this point that they decide to accelerate the destruction of this new reality.
Little by little, the merged characters from both comics began to separate and returned to their original forms. However, the atmosphere that reigned in this situation was one of absolute terror, because all the heroes and villains were worried, since they could hardly survive this destruction. Even Darkseid himself feared for his life.
However, when most of the characters were terrified by this destructive situation, Thanos was enjoying the show. In fact, the Mad Titan claimed it was the most beautiful sight he had ever witnessed in his life.
Thanos’s fascination with death, destruction, and mayhem was captured in DC Versus Marvel #4, and also anticipated the true intentions of this villain in what many years later would be the Infinity Saga, where the Crazy Titan would seek to get hold of the gems to end half the universe.
Definitely, it can be said that Thanos has always been in love with this concept of dying. In fact, in some comics he literally spent time in his life to satisfy and please the incarnation of Death.
Contrary to the idea that was tried to be presented in the Infinity Saga of the UCM, where Thanos saw himself as a warrior who sought to bring balance. to the universe. Although, in the process, it has broken the power level of the movies. In reality, this is a sadistic villain who enjoys killing and destruction.
