In the comics a lot of alien races have communication discs that allow you to understand what is being said to you in other languages.

They have Translator implants.
Starlord's is implanted on the neck

This is the world that a single word "Groot" can be translated into anything.

Thanos probably did. His words are translated to English.

And it's a superhero movie, you must suspend your disbelief.

They're not speaking English. All of those aliens are speaking completely different languages that have evolved organically on their own home planets and places of origin. It's merely a coincidence that all of them sound like and have the same structure as English.

I do suspend my disbelief. That's why I'm not trying to give it an explanation heh

I do suspend my disbelief instead of trying to explain it with translator implants lol

Literally one of their canonical powers is the ability to learn languages in a few minutes

I feel like out of all the aliens, Thanos, who was well aware of Earth, would have learned it personally.

But otherwise, it's just contrived shit like translator implants and Asgardians speaking "All-Speak" which magically translates.

They skipped the part where Black Adam kisses the boy and assimilates his language like how Starfire does.

I mean they did kinda. When he first wakes up he doesn't speak English. He mutters in another language with some subtitles.

In the case of Thanos, doesn't he possess reality warping powers of multiple flavors (at least with the fully gemmed fancy glove) to the point of him saying "I want to know their language so I can tell them some stuff" be a pretty low end feat for him?

Yeah this is one of those things that you gotta suspend disbelief about. I remember as a kid I found it weird in The Road to El Dorado that the Aztecs were speaking the same language as the protagonist, and then as I grew older I watched it again and realize the main characters are technically speaking Spanish lol.

Though I always found it odd that anytime they have a European character, they're always talking in a British accent. Sound of Music takes place in Hugaria and Hugo takes place in France and yet they all have strong British accents lol.

The most sensible real solution would be either a real time translator device in their ear.

Or maybe Matrix style brain info downloads.

Hugaria? Im trying to figure out if thats some weird autocorrect for Austria.

Your point is valid, though, and Ive noted the same thing.

Honestly, I would believe that. He's so determined that his plan is the only choice, he would learn the language ahead of time so he could tell the locals of his plan, and why he's correct. He wants them to agree.
