Thanos: >Has a valid reason for his sinister acts: wants to stop overpopulation of the universe and prevent suffering and starvation of the weak and poor. >has a softer side to him as seen with his affection for Gamora and acquisition of the soul stone. >Is well-written and has some iconic lines in pop culture: "you should have aimed for the head", "you could not live with your failure and where did that lead you?", the thanos "snap". >Overall is a morally grey antagonist.
Sauron: >Is evil for the sake of being evil, wants to exterminate the world and bend them to his will just so he can rule over a bunch of orcs in a wasteland because... reasons. >Lives in the country of MURDER near to a volcano called MOUNT DOOM I mean come on. >Has zero impact on pop culture and no memorable quotes. Most people think he's a big fiery eye than an actual person. >Has zero redeeming traits making him and unrealistic antagonist.
LOTR bookfags need not reply, don't try and get me to bust out my marvel comics just to shit on your "villain" even further and explain why Thanos is superior in literature as well as on the big screen.
thanos motivation is retarded in the movies and in the comic he's just a super powered incel, evil for the sake of evil however is kino.
Michael Mitchell
he really just wanted to impress his waifu.
Justin Carter
Here’s your (you) faggot

Was Thanos designed for audiences who are used to considering any confident people batshit crazy when they tread on them? Yes Thanos was genocidal and as an invading force deserved to be stopped by any group that could muster a defense against him, but instead of understanding that conflict, the cast just repeatedly calls him a madman. I am making a political connection here, was Thanos written for audiences that just accept a lower understanding when they see an enemy? Mainstream media people I mean. You can still easily fight and thwart Thanos while understanding his motives aren’t PURE insanity
Carter Adams
>thanos motivation is retarded in the movies Not really. Yes, his reasons are flawed and are not anywhere as altruistic as he believes, but it's actually a real motivation.
John Mitchell
Typical 90IQ redditor.
LOTR is not about punching the big bad purple man with his plan that a 14 year old would come up with. It is about victory and mastery over your self.
Ayden Sanders
And the Avengers act like clueless dopes who can only call him insane. Just fight and win while knowing he has some motive. Why does this movie repeatedly insist Thanos is insane?
Nathan Ward
Because wiping out half the universe is kind of an insane goal, user. Also it was a tribute of sort to Thanos being known as "the Mad Titan" in the comics.
Oliver Anderson
No, it's really not in a universe with all the tech and magic like MCU it does't make even the slightest lick of sense actually
Yes, it's called children's literature, y'know picture books and shit
Blake Reed
It’s not insane, it’s ruthless, massively cruel, and ambitious. What is the definition of insanity here (I don’t mean that old tired joke)? He has a motive
Grayson Williams
It's a real motivation but it's still retarded. He wants to drastically reduce every planet's population but what he fails to realize is that if you reduce a population without altering their resources they'll just repopulate back to the initial level all over again. Humans realized this hundreds of years ago, but a supposed genius from a super advanced space faring civilization didn't? He's bought every planet two or three generations tops before the cycle needs to be repeated again.
James Peterson
All stories are about that if you dig enough Lotr is about modest people making an impact because they were underestimated
Jordan Turner
But the movie wasn’t about that. They didn’t go into Thanos’ ethics or the consequences of his actions or inaction at all. It wasn’t in the movie
Gabriel Reyes
Before you go "he could just create more resources". Thanos doesn't just want a "stable" universe. He wants to "prove" that he was right the first time. That his idea of randomized systemic extermination would've saved Titan the first time around. It's not just about "balancing the universe", it's also about his ego.
Caleb Turner
a gay retarded motivation a 10 yo could refute
David Kelly
"We should carry out systemic extermination" is an insane idea to most people, user.
Julian Rodriguez
I just cannot help but see the Avengers as some liberal ideologues who can’t conceptualize the conflict outside of themselves. That’s not so bad of course, they’re good heroes and they succeed in beating Thanos for good reasons, but there is something to be said for their political simplicity as it’s written for a politically simple audience. Good movies though
Cooper Brown
>Wipe out half the universe without destroying resources >Exponential growth ensures that life will be the same in like 50 years
>evil for the sake of evil however is kino. why dont people get this
Colton Thompson
‘Insane’ here meaning ‘really bad’? I just wouldn’t use the word insane. Cruel unacceptable and tyrannical, words like that are better
Caleb Russell
>That his idea of randomized systemic extermination would've saved Titan the first time around. The idea that was dismissed as insane, if I may add.
Daniel Myers
>the movie doesn't acknowledge it's a stupid shortsighted plan so you're not allowed to be bothered by it
Hudson Nguyen
Saruman was the interesting antagonist. Sauron was just cool and more of an environmental threat
Oliver Morales
The conversation wasn't about that, it was about whether or not his motivation was idiotic or not, which it was
Jonathan Taylor
>be retard >wants to fight overpopulation >makes it happen in the most random and retarded way >no long term consequences >have the most stupid s0yb0ys drool over your master plan and make them feel clever Everytime someone argues against abortion, i could show your post and win the debate instantly.
Brandon Foster
No one can be this redditbrained
Mason James
>They didn't point out how retarded they wrote a character so you can't criticize it
Logan Stewart
I didn’t say that. I’m saying I agree with why you’re saying and the movie pretty fiercely refused to address this obvious conclusion
Jason Harris
I wasn’t trying to disagree, only add how little the movie cares about basic thinking
Liam Lewis
Joker is better than both
Grayson Anderson
they really shouldve had some kind of idealogical dialogue if they were gonna present thanos as the best viillain of all time
Justin Smith
>NOOOO NOT CHEMICALS I'M LITERALLY GOING CRAAAAAAAZZZZZYYYYY
Sebastian Sullivan
Exactly. And they managed to let him express his point of view without an ethical argument against it. It’s a big missed opportunity for a lesson on ethics or at least on why Thanos is beaten. Sadly it’s actually just about the action figure men all lining up
Thomas Gonzalez
Thanos was fucking retarded in the movie. His motivation is literally retarded when he could’ve just used the gauntlet to fix shit. Only Starlin’s Thanos in the comix is real and even then he’s a B-tier villain at best, sauron’s lame too.
Camden Miller
It's not bold it's retarded and makes Thanos seem like a midwit. Humanity doubles its population in a couple of decades. For a supposedly old and wise villain he sure does seem lack the basic knowledge on the most important aspect of his plan.
Ethan Rivera
Is there any trait more indicative of being a cretin than referring to movies you like as being "fun"?
Not being able to elaborate on why they like a film beyond saying "it's just turn your brain off fun" is so common and it irritates me to no end.
"Venom was really badly made but it was a fun time so I enjoyed it", fuck off.
