People seem to forget that he was a murderer and a torturer prior to his possession of any infinity stones. Its literally how he came to possess Gamora.

I actually really hope in Endgame they have the balls to show some scenes where people around the world are actually kinda impressed and thankful for what Thanos did. Or at least acknowledging the up-side to some degree.

Maybe TVs in the background with a journalist talking about how there are no more food shortages around the world. How traffic has dramatically decreased. People in Hong Kong can see the stars in the sky at night for the first time in 100 years. War and conflict dramatically decreased. Pollution at an all time low. Trees growing in places where trees never grew.

I mean, as heartless as the "snap" was.......there is no doubt that there would be CONSIDERABLE benefits to it.

The planet would be letting out a big sigh of relief.

Either way you clearly didn't pay attention. Hell I don't even read marvel comics and i know for a fact death is another character entirely. In the movie he's the last of a alien race.

If they did it would make absolutely zero sense, because there are about a dozen people on Earth max who actually know what happened and why, and none of them are likely to tell everyone else. No one is going to be praising Thanos specifically.

And to the average person, the "decimation" is absolutely terrifying and horrific. Not only did most people lose at least one person who was extremely close to them (so person tragedy is a thing for pretty much everyone), but you're also dealing with the absolute terror of not knowing WHY or HOW it happened, and thus living in constant fear that it might happen again.

What if another few hundred million people vanish tomorrow? Will you be one of them? If your family survived the last time around, will they go next time?

Plus...

People in Hong Kong can see the stars in the sky at night for the first time in 100 years. War and conflict dramatically decreased. Pollution at an all time low. Trees growing in places where trees never grew.

Newscasters would probably be far more inclined to talk about how nearly every aspect of the world's infrastructure is at the edge of collapse and all of human civilization is on the brink of total ruin.

Imagine everything that needs to happen to keep the modern industrialized world running. Now imagine all of the people whose job it is to accomplish those tasks are simply gone. You may not even have newscasts, because half the people running the TV station are gone. Worse, since the decimation didn't guarantee that only the superfluous half of the population are gone, you might have scenarios where literally everyone who can work a transmitter are part of the missing 50%.

It's worse than that, though. Westerners don't realize just how many delicate systems need to continue working to keep us all alive, and how utterly fucked we all are if those systems fail. General power outages are almost a certainty. Transport of vital goods likely fails, causing food and fuel shortages. Medical treatment becomes more difficult. General infrastructure support and repair likely fails. Law enforcement suffers from disorganization and lack of manpower, while riots flourish.

And because the effect is universal, there is no outside force to send aid to help those in need, because everyone is in need.

Thanos made 50% of the population disappear, but a hell of a lot more than that would die shortly thereafter. At best, you're looking at a martial law scenario where it takes months (or years) to recover. At worst, you're looking at a Mad Max future where most technological nations revert back to tribal barbarism. Think Walking Dead, just without the zombies.

Almost nothing that would actually matter in the short term. Things like reduced emissions leading to less stress on the climate change wouldn't be detectable to anyone other than scientists for decades. Reduced demand for resources wouldn't necessarily be noticeable, because resources would actually grow more scarce to the individual's perspective as the means of distribution fail. You would have situations like in the USSR near the end of the Cold War, where people wait all day on bread lines, while entire massive crops of wheat rot in fields because they can't be harvested or transported properly. Pollution wouldn't clear up overnight - it would improve over time by fractions of degrees, so it would be quite some time before it was noticeable to the naked eye even in the most overcrowded of cities.

Reduced population would be noticeable, and some of the more misanthropic or callous people might be glad that their commute to work is so much less packed now, except for the fact that there's a good chance the subway isn't running any more, and they may not have a job any more, and also their beloved pet disappeared (because the snap didn't just kill humans).

And again, most people probably won't be thinking "Man, now there's a much brighter future for my kids!" when there's at least a 50% chance your kids don't exist any more. Or your significant other doesn't. Or plenty of other people don't, and now you're armed and defending your house with guns because your one neighbor is now looting the houses of everyone who disappeared to stockpile resources for the coming hard times, while there's a cult forming down the street that believes the Rapture has come and those left must now prove themselves worthy of God's love, so they're planning to burn all the non-believers to death.

NO ONE is looking at this as a positive. The normal human response would either be panic or rage.

In a comic book universe, the most likely future scenario is that humans radically devote all of our resources to developing space flight and doomsday weapons and then flood across the galaxy like a plague constantly searching for whoever was responsible so we can vengeance-fuck their entire race into extinction. Along with anyone else who gets in our way.

The planet would be letting out a big sigh of relief.

At least until the general confusion, chaos, and collapse of society eventually leads to incredibly unqualified people getting their hands on nuclear launch codes and firing off a few due to the destabilized political situation and general level of terror.

Humans are at their most destructive when they're panicked. The desperation caused by the snap will likely lead people to become extremely quick to resort to violence to solve most problems. Worse, even once things stabilize (IF they do), knowledge of the new availability of excess resources would likely make us even more proliferate in wasting them than we already are, countering most of the potential benefits almost immediately.

And, of course, then we breed like crazy so in about 2-3 generations from now we're right back to the same population we were at before the catastrophe (it only took us about 40 years to double global population over the last few decades), only now we have reduced animal populations, so in some ways we're WORSE off than we were before.

For anyone who spends time actually thinking about the consequences, there is NOTHING positive about the snap.

The literal incarnation of death (ie, Death) is another character, but there are multiple gods of death in the comics. So that wouldn't prevent Thanos from being one of them (and some cultures in the setting certainly tend to consider him one).

Though if we're going by the comics, Thanos doesn't actually care about the universe at all, and certainly isn't purging it to preserve it. He's just killing people because he is literally in love with Death, who appears to him as a hot chick in purple robes. She's kind of an aloof bitch, though, and doesn't seem to love him back, so he keeps doing crazier and crazier things to try and win her over. Most of which never work.

Also, in the comics, while Thanos IS from Titan, Titan is literally just the moon of Saturn, not an entirely different planet in a different solar system. And he isn't the last survivor of Titan, Titan's actually doing fairly well for itself. He's just an exile from there because they consider him a terrorist, and he killed his mother. His father and brother are still around, though, and have worked with the Avengers in the past (his brother actually WAS an Avenger for a while).

Movie Thanos is basically a well-intentioned extremist because they wanted you to be able to sympathize with his motives if not his methods, because Marvel isn't fond of doing purely one-dimensional villains. "Guy who wants to have sex with death" probably wasn't going to work in the universe they've established.

But either way, the moment he has the Gauntlet, in either universe, he basically IS God.


(And the Gauntlet isn't even the only time he's basically been God in the comic universe - he's had the Cosmic Cube at least once, and that basically lets you rewrite reality however you want on a whim like a genie with unlimited wishes. And at least once he basically inherited the powers of the literal ultimate over-god of the setting and only gave them up because he had to in order to basically fix the universe and save it - otherwise he'd basically be god of nothing, ruling over a broken ruin.)

So this boils down to we define god differently. To me he's from the universe(not another plane/dimension) and mortal so not a god.

That describes most of the actual gods of the Marvel universe, though. Whether Asgardians or characters like Hercules, who are explicitly gods in the comics (even if the movies shit on the idea of Asgardians being gods as opposed to aliens). Ironically, the actual transcendent beings who exist entirely beyond the physical (like Death and Eternity) usually AREN'T referred to as gods by anyone. They're basically "beyond" godhood.

Thanos is actually an Eternal. And Earth's Eternals have repeatedly been referred to as gods or mistaken for them (the most common being Zuras, Thena, and Makkari - who are usually conflated with Zeus, Athena, and Hermes/Mercury, respectively). They even live on Mount Olympus. Even the ones who aren't usually considered gods still inspire tons of mortal legends (like Sersi, Gilgamesh, and Ikaris).

Thanos' brother is Eros (aka, the Greek God of Desire). And Thanos himself is specifically named to evoke Thanatos, the Greek God of Death.

It's not really a question of opinion, though. If Marvel officially classifies something or someone as a god within the context of their own universe, then that person or thing is objectively a god regardless of whether or not you agree with them. For example, Thor is literally a god, full stop.

Thanos IS a grey area, because he wasn't a god at birth, though he was part of a race that had been considered gods by some in-universe. But he's also been a god multiple times in-universe without question.

I own nearly double that. And if you throw in digital comics that I've read but don't actually own, you could probably double that number again.

So by your own logic that would make him automatically wrong and me automatically and objectively correct on any subject on which we disagree.

Difference is I have no way of knowing if you are lying. I've personally seen his collection. And he talks about marvel shit constantly so im pretty convinced he's read them and more than what he has. He's the kind of guy who can site exactly which issue of a comic someone like blank panther fisrt appears in.

And has any comics outright stated hes a god?

Yes, but your ability or inability to confirm doesn't actually alter the truth.

Nor does it really change the fact that I was basically pointing out that someone owning more comic books than someone else doesn't necessarily make them inherently correct. My best friend owns fewer comics than I do, but there are certainly some areas of the hobby where I'd assume he knows more than I do.



mooreandrew58 posted...

So do I - just ask anyone in the Geek topics.

For that matter, it's the main reason why I'm in this topic posting at all - I'm very inclined to jump into discussions involving comics or comic-related stuff.

I've been buying and reading comics longer than most PotDers have been alive.



mooreandrew58 posted...
He's the kind of guy who can site exactly which issue of a comic someone like blank panther fisrt appears in.

That's not actually that hard. Black Panther showed up a couple issues after the Silver Surfer and Galactus, and their first appearance is easy to remember because it was the capper to the 50th issue of Fantastic Four. So Black Panther is #52.

It's more impressive to be able to pin down when and where more obscure characters got their start. Or what issue they joined or left a specific team. Especially if it was in a title you weren't personally invested in, or from a time period before or after you were collecting. For example, I can pin down events, appearances, and significant moments in the X-Men franchise a hell of a lot more accurately than I can Spider-Man, because I was never a huge Spider-Man fan (which is why Wave is the official Spider-Man expert in the Geek topics).

Regardless, being able to site dates and issue numbers aren't necessarily all that impressive or useful in general, because it's mostly meaningless trivia data. What actually matters in the average comic discussion is being able to actually describe the events of any given issue and how it fits into the overarching storyline of the title. For example, being able to point out that the Days of Future Past storyline in X-Men was the beginning of the "dark future" subplot, introduced characters like Rachel Summers and Senator Kelly, and was the first appearance of Mystique's new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants is much more useful than just knowing it happened in issues 141 and 142, or that those were the last issues John Byrne drew on the book because he couldn't stand working with Chris Claremont any more.



mooreandrew58 posted...
And has any comics outright stated hes a god?

Depends. He's been explicitly described as a god in cases where he held godlike power, both in Infinity Gauntlet and The Infinity Revelation (where he flat out destroys and recreates the entire universe in a way that even the Living Tribunal can't understand or accomplish, one of the most godlike things that have ever happened in Marvel), as well as when he had the Cosmic Cube in The Avengers. He's actually listed as a god in the Marvel wiki because of that.

He wasn't born a god, though. He started out "merely" a Deviant Eternal, then augmented himself with various technology and bio-engineering that left him stronger than most Asgardians. He kept questing for full godhood mainly because he believed Death would never love him as a mere mortal. And he's technically immortal at this point, even though he hates it.

Eh we have differing opinions on what makes a god. But I'll concede on maybe he's attained godhood (movie did nothing to imply it though)

I was on the train of thought that he wasn't born a god. And that if you ain't a god you just ain't a god. Then realized wonder woman attained godhood in the new 52 difference being she was already a demi God and gained godhood through outright replacing an existing one.
