The MCU Completely Changed Thanos' Motivation
Comic Thanos Was In Love With Lady Death
Thanos had a plan to carry off half of the universe in both Marvel comic strip and the MCU . The results ended up the same , but he had whole dissimilar motives for doing so in each place . In the funnies , Thanos wanted to kill so that he could win over Lady Death . The frantic Titan loved the cosmic entity , but his feeling were n’t reciprocated .

Why The MCU Changed Thanos So Much
The MCU’s Thanos Feels More Complex
The main grounds why the MCU changed Thanos ’ backstory was probable becausethey needed him to fit into the greater storyline . take him vote down one-half of the creation because he wanted to impress Lady Death would ’ve been a very isolated secret plan that took the focus more away from other MCU characters . It would ’ve also involved the instauration of Lady Death very early on in the MCU . Even if Marvel had n’t already had the specific plan to introduce her inAgatha All Along , the Infinity Saga just did n’t sense like the right metre for her .
Whatever motive Thanos had for wanting to kill one-half of the creation could ’ve involved him stress to gatherthe Infinity Stonesall the same , but it feel much more complex with his MCU motive . While Thanos is evil no matter what for the violent death he has done , there was a lotmore room for fans to see him as a fibre with his self - exclaim imposing cause . It would ’ve been easy to dismiss him as just another flashy supervillain with his comic backstory , though it really is a shame that it think Death was withhold from the MCU for so long .
Death Is Now Officially A Character Thanks To Agatha All Along
Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal Was Confirmed As Death
Agatha All Alongintroduced Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal , who was let out in later sequence to be Lady Death . The cosmic entity had been briefly hinted at in the MCU before , but this was the first time that fans get to see her forcible form on screen . Death and Agatha were devotee for century in the MCU , meaning romanticism still is part of her backstory , but she found it in Agatha rather than Thanos . It ’s unclear whether Death and Thanos bang each other in the MCU , but their plot line certainly does n’t seem to have bump .
It ’s nice to finally haveDeath as an official characterin the MCU , but herAgatha All Alongintroduction for the most part commute her backstory just as much as Thanos ’ . With Thanos long gone and her love for Agatha being a defining point , it ’s a disappointment that fans wo n’t see the fiber as she was to begin with created . That said , there is still so much potential for Death in the future of theMCU , and the Multiverse Saga means that even a reunion with Thanos could somehow be potential .
