But the thing is, Lucas gets attacked for doing this in the SW franchise.

When I have more time, I will write up a dissertation for the M/TV about this same thing. But to do this, the third film will be attacked bc of the fact that the 2nd is "darker" for the heroes losing and the third is "too light".

Right. There are two ways to have Thanos in the second and third film:

1. Avengers lose a big battle

2. Thanos is in the shadows


Although 1 fits the character of Thanos well, I don't see the studio hedging bets on a big battle and subsequent loss by heroes.

And if Thanos was in the shadows even more than the last film, that would just be lame.
