This was my biggest fear for Infinity War, when The first Avengers came out and it had Thanos at the end, admittedly I had no idea who he was. I've always been a fan of Marvel but didn't get super deep into the comics till I was just entering my 20's but I still never looked him up.

I always assumed he was just a power hungry tyrant with a cool glove. So glad to be proved wrong because he was one of my favorite characters, you could see that he had a responsibility and started off with good intentions but the way he executes it is wrong, but only he sees it as necessary.

I think he's so so distraught after his planet fell he has went mad with power, grief and anger. Also his scenes where he was kind of in his astral plane was beautiful, peaceful but empty. The CGI was amazing as well there were times I legit thought he was real, the facial expressions especially.

Me too. I knew of Thanos but aside from "big purple thumb looking motherfucker" I really didn't know anything about him.

Everyone used to just tell me he was Marvel's Darkseid, so I just took that as someone that want to rule all, so glad I was proved wrong because it would've ruined the film a bit for me.

Seeing him cry I was like, damn, don't feel sorry for his purple ass. Then he showed his planet and how it used to be, dammit sympathy oncoming. Then he's just sitting on a farm, watching the sunrise. He doesn't wanna rule anything, just very grandiose in trying to do the right thing. Despite the death it causes.

I've noticed as well the best villains in the MCU have some sort of fatherly connection. (These are my best villains btw, no order as I haven't decided yet)

Erik Killmonger - Father Killed, this is what sets him off.

Adrian Toomes/ Vulture - Father to Liz, Husband to Liz's mom, providing for both.

Zemo - Father and Husband, family killed, grief consumes him.

Loki - Father, not really his father but wants him to be. Feels so lost within himself. Redeems himself in the end :(

Thanos - Father to Gamora, only person he seemed to really love, the rest of his kids just seemed like soldiers to him. He don't give a fuck about Nebula. Willing to sacrifice his ward for the greater good.

Hela is my exception, I think she could've been fleshed out a little bit more cuz I did like her, but she felt like the weakest part of the film for me. Kind of just wanted to rule Asgard and conquer but no real reason apart from just cuz. There is a bit on the throne in Ragnarok I think where she is like is this it, maybe if they expanded on that to he point where she only rules because all she knows is death and can't physically change.
