Thanos Reveal – The Avengers
As an uber-Marvel fanboy for most of my life, I was a big fan of Thanos and the idea of the Infinity Gauntlet as a nerd kid. I also loved the mini-series that focused on Thanos getting the Gauntlet and pretty much laying waste to a good portion of the Marvel universe. I thought it was dark and twisted, and I loved it. But I can honestly and openly admit that I never thought I would see Thanos on screen. Not for a moment.
I know we got hints at the Infinity Gauntlet before this post-Avengers credit sequence, but seeing Thanos look towards the camera and smirk was like the cinematic equivalent to, well, use your imagination. It was the perfect way to end the film, all while setting up the next one.
While rumor has it that we may not see Thanos until Avengers 3, I don’t give a fuck. He is worth the wait. I know the damage that guy does, and if they have the balls to “go there,” it could be the best ending to a superhero trilogy, ever. I know my hopes will probably be dashed, but like I ask you dear readers every week, please just let me dream?
