I don't think he's really meant to be sympathetic. Thanos was a great villain. Not because he had a sensible plan or because he was a relatable character, but because he really feels like someone who truly believes himself to be right and had the power to bend the universe to his own desires. When he cried for Gamora, it's like he's really crying for himself. Because he sacrificed someone that he believes he loves due to the twisted version of it he's conjured up in his head.

Josh Brolin's measured performance as Thanos was great because it presented a megalomaniac as he should be, as someone who acts almost normal because he truly believes himself to be the only correct person who's destined to solve the problems he's told everyone they have.

Characters of color (Sam Wilson, TChalla, Nick Fury), as well as out-of-this-world characters played by actors of color (Mantis, Drax, Groot, Gamora) are overwhelmingly affected by the Gauntlet on-screen, or straight-up slaughtered (Heimdall, probably the Collector). A queer-coded character, Loki, who is canonically LGBTQIA and gender fluid in the comics, is subject to a gruesome strangulation at Thanos hands.

By the end of Infinity War, the core white AvengersSteve, Thor, Natasha, Bruce, and Tonyare the only major players left behind to save the world. Okoye and Rhodey are there as the well, which at current leaves exactly two living heroes of color in the MCU as we know it, and neither of them is a lead.


ahhhhh heres the REAL reason for the article. no need to pretend his lame comic book motivations are better than the movie reasons. getting cucked by death just wouldn't have fit the big screen or gone over well with the majority of the audience.

He's way better than most on acting prowess alone. There are holes in the motivation and mechanics for sure but that's secondary.

Here's an idea, don't give this site clicks and ignore it instead.

Lol I know, I just couldn't resist. I haven't read an article on that site since they said they were no longer going to write about Game of Thrones since they raped a character (not like I was exactly going out of my way to read shit there anyways)

LGBTQIA

The whole point of abbreviations is to make things simpler.

Stop adding fucking letters. And Loki is in the comics being gender fluid is...a fairly recent thing and not a thing in the movies. Dont pad your whining.

Well, LGBTQIA is still an abbreviation of the full LGBTQQICAPF2K+,

Also Loki gets even weirder in the source material mythos, as he gets into some bestiality and births Sleipnir, the 8-legged horse that odin rides.

Let's just come up with a new acronym like poc where it doesn't need to be constantly expanded to fit some specific person.

Something like SOIM for sexual orientation / identity minority.
