Agatha All Along
Agatha All Alongmay have just provide a pernicious jot that Thanos was really proper in his conquest of the MCU ’s galaxy . Although the show ’s overall story and themes do not relate to Thanos at all , one part ’s identicalness was confirm inAgatha All Along ’s ending , providing a small link to the Mad Titan . That lineament was Rio Vidal , who was finally revealed - after much speculation and theorizing - as theMCU ’s adaptation of Marvel Comics ' Lady Death .
In the comics , Death and Thanos are heavily linked together . While Aubrey Plaza ’s version fromAgatha All Along ’s castdoes not have this Thanos connection , many who are intimate with Marvel Comics will subconsciously make the connective , given that Thanos ' goal to pass over out half of the universe was an attempt to romance Death in the source material . The MCU changed this and transfer the human relationship between theMCU ’s strongest villainand Death , yetAgatha All Alongepisode 8 may have hint that the former was really good , thus providing a loose association between the eccentric .
Death’s “Sacred Balance” Line Suggests Thanos May Have Been On To Something In The MCU
Thanos Had Similar Ideals In The MCU’s Phase 3
InAgatha All Alongepisode 8 , Rio Vidal / Death was positioned more as the show ’s baddie than anything else . She was wrapped on kill Agatha , likely as a agency of observe the beldame she loved with her forever . However , she derive another goal inAgatha All Along ’s finale : to takeWilliam Kaplan / Billy Maximoff . decease explained to Agatha that the whole concept of William dying so that Billy could take his body was"disrupting the sacred balance . “This explain why Rio wanted Billy dead , alongside her feud with Agatha .
Rio also describes Billy as an detestation , understandably not happy with how he - and now likely his blood brother Tommy - survived .
Via this line of business , the MCU may have unintentionally supported Thanos ' views . InAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgame , Thanos endlessly say that he was sample to wipe out 50 % of all life story for benevolent cause ; the many planet of the cosmos were overpopulated and would eventually be put down , defeat everyone , as happen with his home satellite of Titan . If Thanos diminish living , they will flourish . One channel that has lodge with many is Thanos stating that his final stage result is"Perfectly balanced . As all thing should be,”linking to a great extent to Rio ’s elbow room of thinking too .
Thanos Understanding Death’s Mission Would Explain Some MCU Moments
Overall , this link between the two could rise that Thanos actually has an savvy of dying . If some matter are not naturally mean to subsist to the detriment of the rude balance , like Billy in dying ’s case or overpopulated major planet in Thanos ' , they should be rectified . When viewing Thanos ' mission through this lens of the eye , more of the Mad Titan ’s on the face of it pretentious ramblings could make a little more sense . Oftentimes when Thanos was excuse his need , the Avengers would dismiss them , such as when Doctor Strange sardonically retorted"Congratulations . You ’re a oracle . "
However , Thanos having an understanding of how Death ’s balance works could explain these large - than - lifetime explanations he often pass on . Thanos ' over - the - top reasoning for doing what he was doing , which ab initio seemed like a way of stressing his narcissistic ego - importance , may really link to the natural order of life and Death . This is certainly a far - fetched theory , but it is one that fall under the category of being an interesting thinkpiece afterAgatha All Along ’s two - part finale .
Thanos' Potential Death Connection Would Only Make Him A More Evil Villain
Thanos' Goals Blind Him From Further Negative Outcomes
All that being state , even if Thanos ' last connection was genuine , it would only make him more evil rather than more justified . The reason for this is Thanos ' want of foresight after conducting the snap . In this scenario , Thanos may have bring home the bacon in hit 50 % of all life as a way of maintaining the consecrated balance of the universe , but this balance would finally slip beyond that . For instance , Thanos ' Blip implemented an entirely new way of life-time that would have resulted in more loss than anything .
Marvel Studios still has n’t explored its missing five - year - period during Avengers : Endgame , and now it may be too tardy for the MCU to revisit it .
As evident by the chaos of the ginger nut , shown in variousMCU movies and TV shows , more citizens in the MCU will have died than Thanos intended . Be it those in plane or other vehicles at the time of the snap or those in surgery whose doctor disappear , for case , Thanos ' expiry toll will have been well over the intended 50 % . This pokes holes in his theorized motivation to maintain balance , as that balance would have chop-chop fallen out of whack .

Resources worthful to keep life , like brute on Earth , will also have been reduced , likely leading to more problem for the surviving humanity …
It is also worth noting that Thanos did not only remove 50 % of all human - or alien - life but all sentient being . resource worthful to sustaining life , like animals on Earth , will also have been reduced , likely leading to more problem for the surviving humans and the disaster of animals dying for no reason . All of this just show that Thanos , if he truly did have a link to the outlook ofAgatha All Along ’s Lady Death , was only more malefic , rather than more good-hearted .
