00:00Welcome back everyone.

00:07It is Amelia.

00:08I hope you are fine.

00:09Thanos was famously defeated by the Avengers in the MCU upon the completion of the decade-long

00:15Infinity Saga, though that shouldn't suggest he's gone forever.

00:18Obviously, there are other versions of Thanos who exist in the wider multiverse, as fans

00:23have seen in What If and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that's not

00:28how the Mad Titan can return, as there's another, much more chilling way Thanos can

00:33make an MCU comeback, and it's totally comic accurate.

00:37In Thanos No. 4 by Christopher Cantwell, Luca Pijali, and German Peralta, the Mad Titan

00:43is launching a deadly strike against Death herself.

00:46This storyline started with Thanos trying to rescue Death after she trapped herself

00:51within the body of a human in order to experience life for the first time.

00:55This disgusted Thanos, so he sought to free his mistress from the fleshy prison of her

01:01own making.

01:02Death was not pleased.

01:03So, disillusioned by his former love interest, Thanos lashed out at Death and in doing so

01:08threatened the entire cosmos.

01:10As explained by Doctor Strange and the other members of the Illuminati that were standing

01:15on the sidelines, the very battle between Thanos and Death is enough to destroy the

01:20planet and even potentially the entire known universe, especially if Thanos were to lose.

01:26One might think that killing the living embodiment of Death would be the worst-case scenario.

01:30But as Doctor Strange reminded fans, Thanos' defeat would result in his essence merging

01:35with Death, thereby recreating a version of someone or something.

01:39Long forgotten in Marvel Comics canon when Thanos briefly died, his essence merged with

01:44that of Mistress Death, and together they created their child, Rot.

01:48Rot is considered both alive and dead.

01:50Given that Death and Thanos are Rot's parents, though it's not exactly sentient in a way

01:55that normal characters are.

01:57The Rot is essentially a living void, an amorphous blob of perpetual darkness that quite literally

02:03rots or immediately disintegrates everything it touches.

02:07Nothing except the combined might of Thanos and Death can destroy Rot, not even eternity

02:12itself, which was actually vulnerable Thanos died in Avengers Endgame after Tony Stark

02:17used the Infinity Gauntlet to snap him out of existence and fans saw him turn to dust

02:22right before their very eyes.

02:24But, what if his life wasn't necessarily ended so much as his essence was absorbed into Death

02:29itself?

02:30While that would normally mean the same thing to most mortals, Marvel Comics reminds fans

02:35that Thanos is decidedly not most mortals.

02:38When he dies, Thanos has the potential to give life to something far greater than himself,

02:43an enemy that is nearly unstoppable.

02:45Thanos could potentially come back as an adapted version of Rot in the MCU, allowing

02:50the greatest live-action Marvel villain the chance to make a dramatic comeback without

02:55undoing or ignoring his previously established character development and his return would

03:00be completely comic accurate.
