there have been "this is for the good of the world, only I can take the dark path to utopia" villains before
Thanos in the MCU has to be one of the best portrayed
They totally repurposed him into a bullshit motive.
They needed "Half the universe dead" and had to think up a new reason.
One that makes no sense in reality.
But it couldn't be "Trying to get Death to coo and blush" anymore
Raving mad "in love with death itself, who manipulated him into becoming a mass killer yet won't share his affections" Thanos would be more realistic, then?
Because Death is not an entity in the MCU (yet)
The only space godâ„¢ we've seen is Dormammu
and GotG2 hints at Eternity
Ever since the end of Avengers 1, everyone who saw Thanos knew this was coming.
the only god is the god emperor! Heretic
there's also a mural of some of the cosmic entities in the tomb of the power stone in GOTG1
You mean the man-emperor of mankind!
"Oh they're going to do it. They're going to Infinity Gauntlet half the universe away."
"--So are they gonna have him trying to woo Death or what? That'd be kinda stupid in a movie"
Marvel agreed.
Thankfully it turned out okay.
Exactly
while there's a badass absoluteness to original thanos
that's the point, paradox
This isn't even Infinity Gauntlet yet.
his plan *doesn't* make sense
but he believes it does
This was Thanos Quest.
The big Thanos stories are Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War (COMPLETELY unrelated to the movie we've seen)
I mean, it makes him look stupid not crazy.
Scribble, are you the kind of person who complained that Thor Ragnarok didn't have Loki with an army of mjolnirs, or that sakaar didn't feature Hulk's wife?
Them using the Infinity War name really annoys me. lol
The COMIC named that, is... Blah.
Comic Infinity War **sucks.**
Because they established years ago that the MCU is just an alternate universe
earth-1999999
Wat.
It's just as valid as the ultimate universe
that's its designation in the comic multiverse
I have other issues with Ragnarok.
Also, Infinity War like.. COMPLETELY negated that film.
Thor learning Loki is still alive.
Which made it even sadder
