>>105369734yeah, first thing I thought, too.
Though it WOULD give more sense to Gamora seeing Thanos' ghost or whatever than just hallucinations
Maximum Thanos would be having done EXACTLY what he said he did: he planted his consciousness inside Gamora... but explicitly unable to do anything except talking to her, out of distorted parental affection. It's all part of a plan to get Gamora and Adam back together again, as he expect Gamora to get fed with having him in her head and ending up asking Adam, who usually is in possession of the Soul Gem, to exorcise her.
Now come and tell me this is not the kind of convoluted bullshit plan Thanos would enact in the event of his unforeseen death.
