I just dont see any depth to him at all, which isnt inherently terrible in a comic book film, but I dont see why some people like him so much. He was charismatic, made people believe in what bullshit he was trying to peddle. He's obviously insane, as is his motivations. A lot of people think villains need to make sense, but...honestly? They don't. A good villain can make sense and give the protagonist a reason to doubt themselves. A great villain will make others follow him, make viewers question the heroes, even though his motivations and his reasons for doing so are absolutely inane and nonsense. He's a cult of personality in of himself. He does all these evil things, he's an evil man, but he's so forthright in his conviction that you can't help but wonder if he's right. You see things though his eyes, he's right in his own mind. He's got personality and charm, and it pushes his motivations to a level where you can actually see why people follow him. Shit, Joker is another example. Joker's motivations make no sense whatsoever. In TDK, he is literally just...causing Chaos. His end goal is to die at Batman's hands. He will not see the fruits of his labor. But people love him because he has that charisma that pulls you in. Sure, his plan doesn't make sense. But it doesn't have to. He doesn't have to. It's a compelling watch. And Thanos, imho, is a well written villain.

FortuneCookie 04/22/23 5:12:14 PM #33:	Gobstoppers12 posted... Who in the MCU is better than Thanos? Also yeah, he's a knockoff of Darkseid, but Darkseid rules. Off the top of my head, I found Red Skull, Iron Monger, Loki, Ronan the Accuser, and Winter Soldier to be far more engaging. I haven't even seen half of the MCU films and I still find it an easy task to point to a villain whose better. Ultron would have been better too if he had been in a better movie and didn't sing Pinocchio. Thanos is just generic. I don't care how powerful he is. Superman isn't my favorite superhero. Dragon Ball Z isn't my favorite anime. John Cena isn't my favorite pro wrestler. And Thanos is not my favorite villain.

Ivany2008 04/22/23 5:14:03 PM #34:	I really wish they had hung on to Apocalypse for when the X-Men finally are able to join the MCU. He was one of the few villains, along with Galactus and MODOK that could have really pushed a great villain into the film franchise. I mentioned it in the other topic, but they could also go the way of Mojo. Really play up the character like Clown from the Spawn movie. It's just a matter of getting them into the franchise in the first place. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:973010240] in I don't th...

Scintillant 04/22/23 5:21:38 PM #35:	I think the reason Thanos was good as a villain is because the characters in the first little avengers trilogy were built up in a way that what Thanos was doing had an emotional impact.

Wolverine 04/22/23 9:20:05 PM #43:	Slayer_22 posted... In the comics, sure. Thanos is terrible in the comics. But in the movies? Thanos is fantastic. And Magneto could be too! But I don't see him being an immediately huge threat so quickly. If you say so. Agree to disagree. He was charismatic, made people believe in what bullshit he was trying to peddle. He's obviously insane, as is his motivations. A lot of people think villains need to make sense, but...honestly? They don't. A good villain can make sense and give the protagonist a reason to doubt themselves. A great villain will make others follow him, make viewers question the heroes, even though his motivations and his reasons for doing so are absolutely inane and nonsense. He's a cult of personality in of himself. He does all these evil things, he's an evil man, but he's so forthright in his conviction that you can't help but wonder if he's right. You see things though his eyes, he's right in his own mind. He's got personality and charm, and it pushes his motivations to a level where you can actually see why people follow him. Shit, Joker is another example. Joker's motivations make no sense whatsoever. In TDK, he is literally just...causing Chaos. His end goal is to die at Batman's hands. He will not see the fruits of his labor. But people love him because he has that charisma that pulls you in. Sure, his plan doesn't make sense. But it doesn't have to. He doesn't have to. It's a compelling watch. And Thanos, imho, is a well written villain. For that reason and more. I never really thought of how to explain why Thanos worked so well but this has alot of it. Things like him getting the soul stone shows character. I actually enjoyed his journey to get the gems much more then the avengers in endgame. <cite>Wolverine posted [p:973014092] in I don't th...

Anton Chigurh Good answer, but...naming a character whose actor won an Oscar, in a movie that won numerous awards for its screenplay, direction, and overall best picture...is kind of proof that Thanos is a pretty strong villain.
