Why Disney Lied About Thanos' Role
"...I never taught you to lie. Thats why youre so bad at it." - Thanos

In the weeks leading up to The Marvels release, box office projections were shockingly lower than with previous MCU films.

This appears to have led to a last-minute marketing push to get the fan base's attention which not only included The Marvels trailer referencing Thanos but also that sneaky X-Men tease and Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie cameo.

While understandable at the time, and even appreciated by audiences craving stakes and connectivity, in retrospect, the use of Thanos in a Phase 5 project and alongside Dar-Benn not only seems desperate but deceptive.
