NEVER FORGET: This Black Man Was Thanos in the First Avengers Movie – Cypher Avenue

Before Black Panther. Before Infinity War. Before Endgame.

African American film and stunt actor Damion Poitier portrayed Thanos before Josh Brolin had even been considered.

We got of first glimpse of the intergalactic mass murderer in the end credits scene of the first Avengers film.

While Josh Brolin’s portrayal of the character was expertly brought to the screen with motion capture and computer graphics, Damion Poitier’s Thanos was all practical prosthetic makeup.

That intergalactic mass murderer line was a lil :pacspit: worthy, but i thought this was interesting and wanted to share w y'all. Interesting how they used the same design too.

In the comics it was Eternals (gringos) against the Deviants (brehs).

Thanos is an Eternal with the "Deviant" gene.

They have buried much of this now but historically in comics heroes were drawn with a "nordic" phenotype and villains with a non-nordic appearance.

The Lord of the Rings has similar underpinnings and both of these cases and the blatant use of similar tropes have been watered down in recent years.
