Squid Game Art Merges Season 2"s Scene Stealer Thanos With His MCU Namesake

:0:1

Squid Game season 2’s breakout character, Thanos, has been hilariously reimagined in fan art that merges him with his Marvel Cinematic Universe namesake. Netflix’s hit series returned with new deadly games and even deadlier players, introducing T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun) as Thanos, a flamboyant rapper whose quirky behavior and intense personality quickly made him a standout character in Squid Game season 2. With his purple hair and unpredictable strategies, Thanos brought fascinating chaos and a wicked charm to the dystopian thriller.
In a video shared on Instagram, graphic designer isaiasarts brought the Squid Game character full circle by blending T.O.P’s Thanos with the MCU’s Mad Titan. The final image features T.O.P’s face and signature purple hair imposed on the body of Josh Brolin’s Marvel villain, Thanos, complete with a fork in the grasp of the Infinity Gauntlet. Check the video out below:
What This Means for Squid Game Season 2's Thanos The Dystopian Villain Has Worldwide Appeal Close Thanos was a standout player in Squid Game season 2, thanks to his approach to the life-or-death stakes of the competition"s twisted childhood games. Armed with candy-like psychedelic drugs, he brought a chaotic energy that was both unsettling and entertaining to watch. The fork in the fan art serves as a nod to his heated feud with Player 333, Myung-gi (Yim Si-wan), a disgraced YouTuber he held responsible for his debt after falling victim to his crypto scheme. This rivalry ends in a brutal confrontation between X"s and O"s, where Thanos meets his end at the hands of his unconventional weapon.
