When discussing how Thanos could break vibranium, Joe Russo, director of Avengers: Endgame, compared the villain to Genghis Khan.
Thanos has truly been the most devastating threat the Marvel Cinematic Universe has faced and it is going to be hard to find someone who can compare to the chaos he has been able to cause. His feats are endless but one that certainly caught attention was his ability to break Cap’s vibranium shield.
In Endgame, Thanos utilised his double-bladed sword to break Cap’s shield in the climactic battle. How was he able to do this? Well, director Joe Russo commented to ComicBook.com: “Clearly, Thanos, you know, is a thousand-year-old character who has fought everyone in the universe. He’s the greatest. He’s the Genghis Khan of the universe. He would have the greatest weapon.”

When thinking about all the worlds and civilizations that Thanos must have run through in his long life, it does make sense that he would have picked up a weapon of such power. Of course, it wasn’t enough to save the villain in the end.
