Sure Thanos is cool but after like 20 movies all the villains the heroes fight are just black blobs and goths in cheap Halloween outfits.

We know nothing about these dudes and they express no personality beyond "We r evil"

It makes (most) of the fight scenes and climax kinda meaningless. Just flashing lights and noise.

Would have been cool if there were a couple of sidekicks with pep who we knew something about/had some history with and if Thanos' army was living aliens to make the battles meaningful.

People still remember Bob from Tim Burton's Batman. Who remembers the random stick chick that black Widow and bald girl killed in a field?

Killmonger is probably my favorite MCU villain besides the raisin man.

dude actually had a legit motivation that wasnt just "yeah im evil and stuff".

They were his kids like Gamora and Nebula. They didn't want to take anything away from Thanos.

I get that but I still think they could have pulled it off.

Gavin and Simon had tons of personality and didnt detract from Negan

I would have loved a Gavin in Thanos' ranks

Well for this I think the problem is that it's not a TV show. It's a movie. The whole point of the movie was Thanos.

I get that but I don't understand why they would detract from Thanos if they had some personality or had appeared in other films so we cared.

The scenes would be largely the same but better .

I agree somewhat. I think the focus on Thanos is important, but we are just thrown these side antagonists with no knowledge of who they are or why we should care that they are there.

They're followers of Thanos. What more explanation is needed?

We should strive to create a world of love and compassion. It may take a lot of time and effort, but it can be done.

its not about what's needed, its about what is fun and interesting

I mean Nick Fury could have been a box on wheels with a smiley face on it and nothing more would have been "needed"

Watch Batman '89.

More personality and background than every bad CGI badguy in the entire Marvel universe, sans Thanos.
