Talk:The Other/@comment-26973802-20131005052804

OK I know most of the attention is on Thanos because he's the big boss and is depicted even more shadowy than The Other, but I can't help but have more interest in The Other at this point and here's why.

He's original to the film series. Yes I know he was created to serve as communication between Loki and Thanos without revealing Thanos, but does he have a true identity under that hood? Is he really Chthon? Maybe Ronan the Accuser? Korath the Pursuer? Or is the post credits scene of Thor: The Dark World going to show Malekith the Accursed turning into him (they do look pretty similar, I mistook Malekith for him in the trailer)?

And why isn't he going to be returning? I know what rumors say, but Guardians of the Galaxy has already listed three of Thanos's servants in their cast and cast their actors already, where's Alexis Denisof in the cast list, The Other was the only significant servant of Thanos we've seen in his last film The Avengers.

One more thing: Who else here thinks he should have been the main villain in The Avengers instead of Loki? I know we got that scene where the Hulk beats up Loki and says "Puny god", but we've already had him as main villain in Thor, it should have been The Other leading the Chitauri on, drawn in through SHIELD's work with the tesseract, communicating with Thanos (who they could pull the old Blofeld trick with to keep his identity hidden). As for the motive of attacking Earth when The Other would already have the tesseract? Thanos's response to Earth's signal that they are "ready for a higher form of war", either to "crush the cocky humans", or to face them and "court death". And have The Other killed at the end, probably the Hulk beats him up then kicks him over a building, he falls to his death, and post credits scene, have Thanos say "So, The Other has failed. The humans are not as weak as I thought. To challenge them is to court death." Then reveal him.
