10 More Best Things The MCU Did Differently To The Comics

10. Thanos' Death(s)

While it’s no secret that Thanos is definitely one of the most important superhero villains in the MCU so far, the clever way he is used as a villain is perhaps overshadowed by the impressive job Josh Brolin does in playing the character.

The murder of Thanos in the first half of Endgame is perhaps the smartest way the MCU could have set up the rest of the film – as well as the smartest way they’ve set up a villain in a film – as even after the time shenanigan-based plot is established, many didn’t process the way in which this would allow a past Thanos to still serve as the main antagonist.

With the majority of major villains pretty much never being properly dead in the comic universe, it’s exciting to see the film universe play with the tropes to add even more intrigue into the plot itself.
