Twitter users opened the social media site on Wednesday only to find a rather interesting phrase trending on Twitter. The reason thatGod of Warcharacter Kratos is trending alongsideAvengersvillain Thanos is rather humorous. Included in thousands of tweets, it had to be a bit surprising to see Kratos trending on Twitter, considering there isn’t any new info about hisupcomingGod of Warsequelto be had. There also wasn’t any new info about Thanos either. Instead, the pair of powerful characters are trending because Twitter users want to know who would win in a fight between them.
Thanos is one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel universe. InAvengers: Infinity War, he brought the universe to its knees after wiping out half of its entire population. While the Marvel villain is a genocidal maniac, the MCU managed to make him a somewhat pitiable character who recited some of themost popular quotes from theAvengersmovies. On the other hand, Kratos has long been the star of theGod of Warvideo game series. Over the course of several installments, he managed to kill the entire pantheon of Greek gods. In the latest story, he turned his attention to wiping out Asgardian deities.

While Twitter trends are usually started by an article generating conversation, this time around, it was a simple tweet that grabbed a ton of users' attention. It helped that Kratos and Thanos are among the most well-known characters in the video game and movie industry. Kratos even has renewed interest thanks to the announcement earlier this fall thatGod of War: Ragnarokis in development.
When it came to the debate on who would win a fight between Kratos and Thanos, it appears most users believe that theGod of Warhero would win, no matter what iteration of the character is fighting the battle. Most people offered up the rationale that Kratos was able to take down gods. Thanos lost his life doing battle against humans, even if they were super-powered.
Interestingly enough, a fight between Kratos and Thanos isn’t as far fetched as some might think. Both charactersmade an appearance inFortnite, as just one example of how a crossover can be pulled off. Granted, the two weren’t in the game simultaneously, but another crossover isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
