strong point tbh

Thanos was neither.

I agree with you. Chilling, unsympathetic, incomprehensibly evil villains are fine.

Frustratingly stupid ones, on the other hand, are just annoying whether they're sympathetic or not. Especially if they're supposed to be smart or the movie acts like they're wise. Sympathy is not Thanos's problem

I was going to say this, but probably not as well as you did

THIS.

I always thought the people complaining about Thanos not being sympathetic did it as criticism on people who thought he was, not on the character itself.

Then again, I pretty much quit the fandom after Civil War, so what do I know.

p. much this. i haven't seen anyone go 'thanos is a bad villain cos he's unsympathetic', but i've seen many many many people go 'thanos is a bad villain and the russos trying to tell me 'he's so tortured and sympathetic and he's totes the real hero here you gaiz' does not help in any way'.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm in agreement. His repeated abuse and torture of Nebula makes it damn near impossible to believe his "Oh I really loved Gamora" BS. To the extent Thanos did care about Gamora, it was because she was useful to him, which does not qualify as love.

I keep hoping the sequel will prove that his motivations are BS. My headcanon is that he's using all this BS about "Saving the Universe by destroying half of it" to make him sound more noble, as opposed to being a fuckboy who can't accept "No!" for an answer. Seriously, Death is just not that into you!

Another reason, I think Thanos is full of shit, presented courtesy of Pinterest: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/74/64/40/74644041044c5c09e9281a7e8f096820.jpg

Who says that villains need to be sympathetic though? I sure don't.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the argument I've seen is that the better MCU villains (Killmonger, the Vulture, Loki waaaay back in the first Thor movie) are sympathetic characters to some extent. This is true, but I think it's more that there's been thought put into their motivations. Pierce, in the Winter Soldier movie, was an effective and deeply unsympathetic villain, as was Obadiah Stane in the first Iron Man movie. The thought and plotting matters more than sympathetic/unsympathetic, and thus that wasn't going to help Thanos.
