The exact origin of the “Ricardo is King” edit has not been identified in the available sources. They provide no confirmed creator, original video, publication platform, or exact release date for the Thanos scene. The figure shown is Ricardo Milos, a Brazilian model known for a dance video in which he wears a red bandana and clothing in the colors of the United States flag. That video was reportedly first posted on the English-language site Jock Butt, then uploaded to Nico Nico Douga on October 15, 2010, amid Japanese Gachimuchi videos.
