I mean, going around wiping out half of planets and wanting to wipe out half the universe is pretty mad I prefer him like this, being obsessed with Lady Death just sounds kinda silly and pathetic. All that power and he's obsessed with some chick? His goal here wasn't massively unique but it was well developed, far more so than the likes of Ultron who's bad 'cause humans are bad. A generic cackling villain that just wants to kill people is way less exciting to me, especially when they're smart enough to have such a large scale plan.
How canon can we consider that now though? That he stayed Hulk for two years kinda throws that in to whack a bit. That activates the transformation but the rules while Hulk is in control seem different. Of course, the rules are mostly "Does what the plot wants" |

Perhaps a cackling villain would've been better because every attempt this movie made to humanize Thanos did not work (at least for me). He had far more screen presence than the average MCU villain and Josh Brolin was good in the role but I feel like the character itself wasn't terribly well-executed. |

There are several degrees of insanity and if Thanos was a 5, MCU Thanos is like a 0,5 at most lol
He's obsessed with the concept of death because he himself is practically an immortal and an abomination for his species. He's studied that since birth, starting off with his first victim, that being his own mother. In the MCU he does it because... reasons? He talks about how his planet went through overpopulation and stuff but it's not like that would've solved anything. At least Thanos desired to please Death itself, that's unique, and it makes him a lot scarier. MCU Thanos lacks intimidation, especially when it comes to his design which is rather underwhelming and full of too much detail with his armor. At least they didn't make him look like Ultimate Thanos, that's a relief at least. ![]()
Has any villain in the MCU been like that? Bland, sure, but generic cackling ala Skeletor? None that I remember. If you're implying the OG Thanos was like that... ![]()
That's because they've hardly even defined the rules behind that. |

The image isn't showing! Yeah, "cackling" was poor wording. I meant a more unambiguous bad guy. The writers of the movie attempted to humanize or at least complicate Thanos' character in a way that felt a bit artificial. |

It's not like he wasn't already a little human.![]() ![]() They made him more vulnerable, that's the word you're looking for. |

Nothing against the original Thanos (although I feel he hasn't been as well characterized in recent years as in older comics), but the movie's attempts at making him nuanced did nothing for me. I realize that's not a popular opinion since most people liked the character just fine. |

Thanos' arc ended back in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline. Only a few other stories needed his presence, so naturally he feels shoehorned in everywhere else.

AKA, Starlin is the only guy that actually knows how to write thanos in comics. But still, for the movie, didn’t he state that Gamora’s planet was actually thriving after he annihilated half her population? At least from that, it seems like his idea has some instances of working (which is probably all that he’s taking account of) Anyways, about Hulk, I THINK he still gets stronger the angrier he gets, but I’m just basing that off of his fight with Abomination where he went from getting beaten to getting losses and dominating him when the guy was bout to hurt Betty (hey, remember her?).Haven’t seen much of that since then though. Wonder if we’ll get Mr. Fixit or Doc Green as a result of this at they’re sending him through |

I doubt they'll include other Hulks. They don't seem to care much for his character. Like, at all.
In short, yes. I would've been happy with something like the Thanos from the Silver Surfer cartoon as well. Edited by Darker, May 12 2018, 04:23 PM.

I think they're making Thanos daughter into *Death*. So maybe next movie he will gain an interest in death? I do want the amour back though. Peter Parker death being longer IMO as Steve mention was because of spider sense and his faster healing. So it's possible that Peter felt his death and tried to fight it but couldn't and his body got stressed and scared |

I don't buy it, unless Spidey's healing factor can somehow counter reality warping powers. If it can... Like... What...? Did Captain Universe give Spidey his power again while I wasn't looking? Did the Phoenix Force from X-Men: Apocalypse merge with him... also again? |

Nah, I don't think he really got stronger there, that seemed more like a pure adrenaline moment like I said. After that he defeated Abomination tactically, rather than just full on beatdown so I don't think he got stronger.
I doubt his healing factor is good enough to even attempt that but he likely could have sensed it. I wonder if the suit could have had an effect too? Black Panther got a fairly long line in before he faded away, perhaps stronger materials take longer to break down or some s***. Is there no chance of Star Lord getting his powers back? If not it's a shame we couldn't have seen Ego vs Thanos, that would have been an interesting fight. At least until Thanos got bored and turned him in to a duck. |

Thanos VS Ego would've either ended on Ego obliterating Thanos or Thanos (with the IG) obliterating Ego, considering how Ego is supposed to be stronger than Galactus and Thanos lasted like, not even a minute against Galactus, while with the IG Thanos made a collection out of the entire cosmic pantheon barring the Living Tribunal and Eternity whose role Thanos momentarily took over.![]() Though in the MCU both were nerfed immensely and Ego acted very incompetently in GotG 2. The gauntlet did the bubble trick twice ffs, I would've rather had flowers or ANYTHING else. Edited by Darker, May 12 2018, 09:39 PM.
