Thanos is not only a Greek name but in this case it is most likely derived from the Greek word Thanatos - death. It could very well be one of Satan's many names just like for instance Chronos/Saturn The Lord of Time.
The question about the film is, does it depict the ending of great parts of humanity? Mind you that the Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien films/books are about just that. Tolkien being an Illuminatist new his peers were going to stage the End Times knowing that we are currently in the second Renaissance/Enlightenment, the former being a Bankster/Mercantilist/bourgeois one and this being that of the whole of humanity.
So in the case of the Lord of the Rings the orks and other deformed creatures are semiotics for infected humanity by the biological weapons of the US and Israel as well as pandemic releases by UN WHO labs around the world. Of course, the dark side depicts the antithesis to NATO/British Commonwealth/GCC/PFP countries that mainly is Russia/China/N.Korea/Venezuela (and other ALBA countries like Cuba)/Axis of Resistance (Iran/Syria/Hezbollah and Lebanon).
But also note that among the groups of the dark side there are some black-dressed black-flagged Arabs mentioned in the Koranic equivalent to the Book of Revelation. As soon as I saw ISIS come to birth I new that they and their major sponsor (and behind the scenes true leader) crown prince Muhammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia was going to play the part of the Biblical Antichrist.
ISIS was highly choreographed and VeteransToday.com showed that their PR HQ was in San Fransisco but since they were failing the "white side" of Tolkien that is based around NATO/Rothschilds had to stage the failed summer 2016 coup in Turkey. Thus the Illuminati set up president Erdogan of Turkey to play (!) the role of the Antichrist.
I'm not looking to prove all this here just giving you all a summery of what I've spent a lot of time on and it is out of that perspective that I'm interested in Marvel's Endgame and other films like Z and zombie films in general, all things Illuminati. "Z" actually signifies "end".
Okay, thanks for info!
All the movies you listed seem to be a re-telling (or maybe foretelling) of the earth's Epic history (or maybe, its future... I haven't seen them), with the Old(e) gods.
But I'm of the opinion that pretty much all media, whether movies, books, music, etc. is somehow about them or related to them, in some way.
Your point on Thanatos / Nyx ... death and sleep. Very Neptunian-Piscean, 12th house-y stuff. It may be an allegory for the (dawning of the) Age of Aquarius, which comes next in the precession, according to those who subscribe to such things as meaningful. Likely the movie-makers-- and it's been 'dawning' for almost 50 years now. -.-
Sure, it could show intent-- the old pagan religions are alive and well. I don't doubt they are alive and well in hollywood. Why not?
