 Hello everyone, this is Matthew from Miscellaneous Debris and I'm going to be talking about events that could play out in Avengers Endgame, so careful for spoilers if I do happen to get anything right. To get things started, let's go back to a few scenes in Avengers Infinity War. The first one is when Thanos is speaking to Gamora aboard Sanctuary 2. Thanos says to Gamora, this universe is finite, its resource is finite. If life remains unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correcting. Gamora responds, you don't know that. Thanos responds, I'm the only one who knows that. Now pay attention to not only what Thanos said, but how he said it. Thanos then follows that with the line, at least I'm the only one with the will to act on it. Later on in the film, on Titan, during the battle, Thanos says to Tony, Stark. Obviously puzzled, Iron Man says, you know me. Thanos responds, I do, you're not the only one cursed with knowledge. I've thought about those lines a bit and I've crafted a possible theory that could tie them into one another and would ultimately make Thanos the reluctant hero of this entire conflict. In Infinity War, Thanos tells the tale of Titan's demise and his label of Madman to Dr. Strange. What if, after Titan's demise, Thanos went into the cosmos in search of his purpose? And what if, during this time, he encountered the cosmic being Eternity? During this meeting, he tells Eternity what happened on his planet and how his people failed to heed his warnings and advice. Eternity informs Thanos that Titan fell because he willed it so, as he is the physical embodiment of space, time, and reality. He then informs Thanos that Titan was not unique and that all living creatures in every universe and every multiverse is finite and their resources are finite and that he is content to stand by and watch each universe slowly march their way to death and that all living things in every multiverse will suffer the same fate as Titan. Thanos realizing what Eternity just told him has found his purpose and his reason for wanting to eliminate half of life on every planet. Now he does not enjoy doing this, but he was the only one with the will to make the tough choice and act accordingly. He learns of the Infinity Stones and what they can do and how they could help him achieve his goal, so he begins his search for them and the rest is history. What if Thanos' goal of eliminating half of all life was always to circumvent Eternity's plan? And what if he was just the reluctant hero trying to do the wrong thing for the right reasons for the greater good of the universe? This is why I believe he has so strong will to accomplish the goal of retrieving the Infinity Stones and causing the decimation. It's not that Thanos wanted to do what he did, but he felt he needed to or better yet he was burdened with the knowledge of what was to come so he had to act. There's no way to absolve Thanos of what he did, but it just gives another layer of depth to his already complex character. Given this in consideration, we know of a greater threat in Avengers Endgame. What if Eternity learns of what Thanos did, feels cheated out of his own plan and decides to speed up the rest of the universe's fate? All of this would lead up to the Avengers and Thanos reluctantly teaming up to defeat Eternity in Avengers Endgame or could set the table for the future events of the Avengers franchise. What do you think? Would Thanos be the reluctant hero or is he really just the mad Titan hell bent on genocide? Let us know in the comments below. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
