Marvel Just Made Thanos More Dangerous (Despite His Death)
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Moon Knight.
Through Moon Knight, Marvel just made Thanos (Josh Brolin) more powerful even after his death. The Infinity Saga's overall villain only made his proper debut in Avengers: Infinity War, but hints of his existence dated back to the first Thor film. And although his stint in the MCU was fairly short, ultimately getting defeated in Avengers: Endgame, Moon Knight suggests that the Titan still has immense power over Earth.
Marvel Studios just wrapped up its sixth Disney+ series, and after six episodes, Moon Knight ended with an epic battle between Egyptian gods, Ammit and Khonshu. Their face-off was mirrored by Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac) and Arthur Harrow's (Ethan Hawke) own fight. Overall, Moon Knight barely had ties to the bigger MCU. But since it belongs in the same continuity and universe, its events can be somewhat related to what came before it, including Thanos' snap and everything that followed it.

Unlike Thanos, Harrow's motivation for his actions had been unclear. The Moon Knight finale finally laid it out after he achieved his goal of unleashing Ammit. Apparently, he didn't have any hidden agenda for his mission; he truly believed in Ammit and her ways. Harrow didn't even think twice about dying if that's the best he could serve her. This conviction compelled him to go to great lengths to resurrect the Egyptian goddess. Based on this, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone who strongly believes in the «Thanos was right» movement might follow his suit. So while the Titan is officially dead in the Sacred Timeline, any one of his believers could take a page from Harrow's book and try finishing what Thanos started.
