Hand of King based on THANOS?? Spoiler-free

[Leski]

It suddenly occurred to me that the Hand of King outlook shows an uncanny resemblance to the MCU Thanos (esp the look in Endgame). Not gonna discuss any plot stuff.
Or did the MCU guys got inspired by Dead Cells??
I am not a expert in Marvel comics but I dun see the comic version of the weapon Thanos used in Endgame.
Just wondering.

Dead Cells came out before Avengers: Endgame, so it wouldnt be that big of a surprise if Marvel based A:E's Thanos' Sword from HoTK. But this double sword idea isn't new, i.e. Star War's Darth Maul wielded a double lightsaber. So both could've took inspiration from that. Also the Russo Brothers did state that Avengers: Endgame wont take any inspiration from the comics and will be their own storyline so its not that much of a surprise that you didn't see the Double Sword in the comics.

Thanks for the details! :)

Nonsense. There is nothing to do with Thanos

Yeah the sword Thanos wields is actually based off the Thanos-copter form a Deadpool comic.
