The Avengers is one of the most popular franchises of the Marvel cinematic universe.

The movies feature a crowded field of heroes—much like the Democrats seeking the 2020 nomination against President Donald Trump.

Many Americans are holding out for a hero to render Trump a one-term President. Twitter user  @chandlerjdean knew this when he decided to find the Avengers parallel for every Democratic presidential candidate.

The similarities—and Deans's description of them—are perfect.

And Dean didn't stick to just Democratic candidates—or even candidates at all.

And his choice for Trump was Thanos—the galactic being who vanquishes some of the team's most popular heroes and who seems indestructible.

People everywhere concurred with Dean's analysis.

They also had some suggestions of their own.

Hopefully in 2020, the good guys will win.
