8 Post-Credits Scenes Marvel Didn’t Have The Balls To Shoot
3. Thanos Actually Being... Thanos
Since the end of the first Avengers movie, Thanos has been built up to be the big-bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the endgame as it were, at least for those characters as we know them from Phase One.
Weve been led to believe hes an all-powerful character, based on what is known of him from the comics, and the fact hes the one who has been pulling the strings behind the scenes since The Avengers. It culminated with his appearance post-credits in Age of Ultron, grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet and exclaiming that hell do it himself.
While it was still pretty cool, it didnt really introduce us to anything new. Infinity War had already been confirmed by this point, and the idea of it seeded long before then. We know thats what its building up to, but through his brief appearances in both Avengers movies and Guardians of the Galaxy, we havent really seen why hes this overarching villain whos going to cause total destruction.
A scene of him showing just how powerful he truly is couldve been pretty epic. Obviously hell get more powerful with the Infinity Gems, but even before that hes capable of some pretty major levels of bad-assery. Something like him destroying Nova Corps to get his hands on one of the Gems would fit within the narrative, and showcase just what hes capable of.
