One of the greatest moments in the MCU between Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Josh Brolin’s Thanos takes a weird turn in this AI-created video. It could be a triggering video for many Thor fans who will be forever scarred by one scene. The video emulates the scene where Thor is trying to stop Thanos from snapping his fingers in Avengers: Infinity War.
In a disgusting twist, instead of pushing Stormbreaker deep into Thanos’ chest, Thor leans forward to kiss the dangerous villain. The video is clearly meant as a joke, but fans fear that AI could easily ruin more such crucial moments from not just the MCU but also other major films.
AI-Created Video Of Thor and Thanos In Avengers: Infinity War Worries Fans
In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos gets hold of all the six Infinity Stones after ripping the Mind Stone from Vision’s head. As he prepares to execute his plan, Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor arrives and unleashes his full Godly power upon Thanos. He uses the full might of Stormbreaker to severely wound Thanos. However, the effort goes in vain as the villain still manages to snap his fingers.
In an AI-recreation of a part of this scene, there is a weird twist to this scene. The video that appeared on the Instagram channel, @simsimonshorts, showed Thor and Thanos kissing at the end of their encounter. Fans were definitely scarred by the intimate scene between the superhero and the supervillain.
Some fans under the video took the joke lightly, while others were concerned about how AI could manipulate such scenes. The editing was done to near perfection, which was one of the major reasons that worried fans. One of the fans commented that AI was getting more dangerous each passing day, while another shared that it was more dangerous than Thanos. Some of the fan reactions read:

On the other hand, some people also use AI to reimagine storylines and add new characters to certain scenes. Such creative uses of technology are always appreciated by fans, unlike the video in question.
Marvel Star Scarlett Johansson Battled Unethical Use Of AI
Scarlett Johansson’s legal battle against an AI firm caught media attention in November 2023. The Black Widow actress’s likeness was used by the firm Lisa AI to create an avatar for an online ad promotion. The company used footage from Johansson’s earlier fundraising campaign promotion with Omaze.
According to Variety, Lisa AI included a disclaimer in their ad, which read, “Images produced by Lisa AI. It has nothing to do with this person.” Immediately after the AI footage went viral, representatives of Johansson issued a statement that the Marriage Story actress was not a spokesperson for the app.
Moreover, her attorney Kevin Yorn made it clear that the advertisement would be dealt with legally. Other actors like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks were also in a similar situation when their digital likeness was used without consent.
Avengers: Infinity War is available for streaming on Disney+.
