In the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet to kill off half of the population of the universe, with the movie’s final scenes showing many of the franchise’s heroes disappearing into dust. The effectiveness of the sequence resulted in the moment becoming one of the year’s most popular memes, with a figure turning to dust immediately drawing connections to the Marvel film.
The first teaser for Aladdin shows the Disney logo turning into dust, a reference to the film taking place in the desert, with fans immediately drawing connections to what happened when Thanos snapped his fingers.
