She's a death god, but not Death. Thanos's big thing is to kill the entire universe to present to Death as a courting gift. Fun fact, Thanos *hates* Deadpool because Death actually loves Deadpool and not Thanos.

Thanos killing EVERYTHING as a giant NOTICE ME SENPAI to Death is awesome but there's no way they have the balls to make that the thing. DO THEY? Someone photoshop that rick and morty loyalty card thing with Thanos' face and a bunch of avenger heads on the card with X__X for eyes.

Why are these extra-terrestrial thing all so humanoid. Thanos should just be a sentient omnipotent puddle of goop. Somebody mentioned Shuma-Gorath in the other thread, it would totally make the universe less lame. In one of the comics Charles Xavier turned into this thing so why not

OH god I just remembered the D.C. Movies big bad is just another boring colored CGI humanoid dude too isn't he It's just like the stupid hobbit movies someone have some creativity for once, like imagine if "Thanos" was just literally Christopher Lee (rip) and you already have a better and scarier villain

Infinity War is going to own, bunch of jaded soulless wannabe film snobs itt It's being done by the Russos and they handled Civil War great. (Unless of course you don't even like the Marvel films, in which case why do you care in the first place?) Deakul fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Frankly, I'm sticking with calling Thanos "Prune Willis" from now on. I honestly wonder what Marvel Studios' thinking was when they decided to extend their "no helmets" policy to the giant purple CGI man whose only memorably distinctive facial feature is his giant wrinkly-rear end chin.

The big ensemble Marvel movies are the worst ones. I think the maximum should be two main superheroes (a third one can have a cameo but that's it). I did some science and that's the right number.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Brolin Thanos doesn't really thrill me I dunno why. I'm not really familiar with the "canon", is he generally just a dry character? Brolin seems bored He's sadly gone more in that direction over the past few years to make him more threatening, I guess. Thanos from the original Infinity Gauntlet (which is what this is based on) was extremely flamboyant and boisterous. He was known as the mad titan and would constantly be depicted with this galactic gleam in his eye and a poo poo eating grin to illustrate how nutso and obsessed he was with death. The whole thing was sort of built like a Greek tragedy (appropriate since he's supposed to be the Marvel universe's version of Thanatos) where he was so ridiculously hubristic that he thought he could take on the literal personifications of time and space just because his love for death was so loving strong. Very  I know, but I really love that comic for how actually well-defined that character is despite him being totally ridiculous. Him going more in the direction of generic menacing/calculated alien warlord is disappointing. But Josh Brolin is cool, so maybe it'll work out.

Yeah, I was gonna say, the depiction of Thanos here doesn't match up with my impression of him in the comics in the 90s.
