i know i keep saying that i dont give a shit about thanos and as a character and as a person i do not but as an individual of an alien species,,,, turns out i fucking do. (note: i do not know enough about 616 to talk about space-religion and extradimentional-religion and what constitutes a god there so i am not going to. im talking about Death bc she exists in remortal au and that’s all i care about)
i just! because, ok, religion is a thing. on earth, at least, and there’s some overtones on it for asguard as well, even if their religion is just.... themselves with some sort of god-king system, but so far there’s not.... that many gods who are actually gods. There’s Thor, who’s an alien who humans built a culture around. In MCU i don’t think dr strange actually dealt with any, you know, gods. but, here’s the thing with thanos, and thanos and a worshiper of Death: Death exists.
Not just as an abstract concept. Not just as an eventuality. Death exists as a sentient anthropomorphism of an abstract concept. Lady Death is probably the closest thing to a god that’ll ever exist! and not only does thanos know about her, and know that she’s real, he worships her. what the fuck! how the fuck! how do you get to that conclution? what kind of culture is he from where worshiping an actual entity that who knows if anyone living has ever seen it is a thing???
how does one start to workship death? how does one begin to know that death --not as the concept but as the sapient entity-- even exist?
im just..... i wanna know what religion and culture is like in mcu in space. please.
