So, now that I have seen it... I think I would prefer it if MCU Thanos is kept as a non-Eternal, quasi-immortal native of Titan and thus non-biological brother of Eros.

But I am intrigued that the "Mad" in "Mad Titan" could have been the Eternal memory glitch, Mahd Wy'ry.

Like, if you lived in the MCU and you had knowledge of the Celestial life cycle trapped in your subconscious that could bubble up without you fully comprehending it, you *might* just adopt otherwise nonsensical Malthusian doomsday thinking as a coping mechanism.

"But Thena didn't do that."

Sure. It wouldn't express itself the same way in every Eternal. Thanos at his core would still be Thanos, just as Thena is still Thena.

...as I re-read that first tweet, I'm realizing that any brotherhood between two Eternals would also be non-biological (though they could believe/remember otherwise) so I'm leaning towards it being more of a bond/title than a literal thing.

Although imagine proudly introducing yourself (or having yourself introduced) as "the brother of Thanos" to the whole cosmos for all of eternity. Maybe this is how Starfox tests/calibrates his "Everybody likes me!" power? Or it's a courtesy, to give people enough reason not to.

Maybe he never even met Thanos but he's started claiming Thanos as a brother just to give the minds of free-thinking sapient beings a sporting chance against his inherent aura of likeability.

"Who is this radiant luminary, this luminary radiance? What bright star has come into my cold and dark universe? Have you come to take me away from my miserable, boring life, my beautiful lord?"

"Hi, I'm Thanos's brother."

"Oh. Uh. Would you like to try a combo meal?"
