One Thanos will return in Avengers 4 as the main antagonist while the remaining heroes attempt to avenge their fallen friends.

Much of responded to Thanos' arc in Infinity War, though in a variety of ways. Now, new fan art of the Avengers villain imagines an extremely silly version of the character.

Reddit  CrazyLipz posted a mashup of Thanos and Nintendo character Kirby yesterday, though the image has been making the rounds online since early June. The image features Thanos' purple face - with his interesting chin - on the round body of Kirby, and a completed Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand. Take a look:

Undoubtedly, this bit of fan art is one of the more ridiculous pieces to surface in the wake of Infinity War's massive success. Ever since Avengers: Infinity War broke numerous box office records, it's been clear that Marvel Studios' latest has secured its place in movie history. And, one way it lives on is in fan art - even silly memes like this one that combines Thanos and Kirby to create Thirby (or Kirbos, as this creature has also been called).

A great deal of the Avengers fan art has been a little more serious, either depicting the Thanos as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

Of course, many would agree that Thanos as Kirby is quite the opposite of sexy. The comments under this Reddit post accuse CrazyLipz of sharing a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game since the powers Kirby could absorb from Thanos would no doubt be formidable. But, since Thanos won't be appearing in the game, it won't be possible. For now, all we have is this cursed Avengers: Infinity War art.
