MCU Thanos seems only loosely based on comics Thanos. In the comics, "the mad Titan" was basically an arrogant child. That's not the vibe I get from MCU Thanos. And you almost never saw comics Thanos without his iconic costume on (including headpiece). About the only things the two seem to have in common are their names and their quests.

Yeah its a different take entirely.  As for his appearance, it would bother me less if he hadn't already been revealed looking like Jack FREAKIN' KIRBY designed him.  Then changed him to this???

You're aware that Thanos was designed and drawn first by James "Jim" Starlin, right?

To me, he looks about as close to Thanos as you're going to get with a live actor instead of a CGI one, costume and shade of purple notwithstanding.

 

ETA: Here he is in the armor and helmet, and it looks pretty true to the basic Thanos design to me:

It's not going to be a perfect match, but that's not a bad translation from one medium to another. If someone handed you that pic ten years ago and said, "What character is that?", I think most of us would immediately identify it as Thanos.

Hey, the Inhumans tanked, so why not tee up the next super race in the queue? :sneaky:

 

I wonder who they might draw on next. Atlanteans? Moloids? New Men from Wundagore Mountain?

 

Yes to all of them!
