I know he is based on Darkseid, but Thanos is the better executed character

Darkseid is cool as a dramatically over-the-top character, and he HAS had some excellent interpretations (the Superman: The Animated Series/Justice League Unlimited version springs to mind).

But Thanos has some fantastic stories (mostly when being written by Jim Starlin). Especially later on, when he becomes a lot more complicated than just a one-dimensional bad guy.

I'm actually sort of afraid the Avengers movie coming up is going to fail to capture most of that nuance and will present a somewhat weaker version of the character. But on the other hand, I'm also assuming that the Justice League movie version of Darkseid is going to be warm shit in a bucket, sooo...

Thanos is a more interesting Darkseid
