Avengers: Infinity War - You will know what it's like to be spoiled here

Reader mode
I love how casual Thanos is portrayed here.

If anything, it makes him even more threatening.

And if he turned out to be a Combat Sadomasochist, it'd perfect to how I was picturing him.
 


Thanos must be watching WWE cuz thats a nice chokeslam

edit:


that is the arm used to drop Tony

Ok. So, Thanos. (Crossposting for people's thoughts here too)

What we know so far:

Thanos is considered(per Ronan's lieutenant) to be the most powerful being in the universe. Strong enough that Ronan wanted an Infinity Stone buffing him before he would even consider doing more than wordswordswords and even then, well... it's pretty telling that he was like: "I'm going to go do X first."

Nebula wants a goddamn battleship armed to the teeth to even think about going after him.

He was The Grandmaster's Champion at some point.

He had at least one Infinity Stone in his possession that he relinquished, which people have credited as being proof that he's a dumbass.

But consider.

The Mind Stone was cased inside a device that was clearly advanced tech, with an AI built into it that was working toward unknown ends. It, via Wanda, influenced a number of people, including Stark, into doing shit. (Its presence is clearly obvious in Avengers 1 when just being in its presence is exacerbating their hostilities toward each other.) Had Ultron succeeded in dropping Sokovia, am pretty sure he would have bowed down and handed the Mind Stone over to Thanos.

In the aftermath of AoU though, the tensions there led into a full-on split among the Avengers, leaving them scattered and divided.

Meanwhile, in the larger universe. The Power Stone is brought out of its location on Moragg(?) where there was obviously something keeping Thanos from getting it. Now it's sitting in a place where he CAN get it. And he knows right where it is. The Space Stone(which I think he learned was out of hiding from Skull, who was teleported who knows where) but it landed in the ocean and then was just kept in storage til they started poking at it again which alerted him to where it was. Now it's sitting in Asgard(or was) and was sitting there ripe for the taking from a defenseless kingdom since Odin was gone. The Reality Stone surfaced and got dropped in the Collector's vault and with Odin absent, he actively started to move.

So, yeah, he hasn't directly done a lot himself but when the contingencies in the Scepter's AI failed, and Odin missed, now he's actively beginning to move as the Time Stone surfaced as well. So all the pieces are on the board and active. He just has to go out and collect them and those who would oppose him are scattered across the earth and the universe. And even if they do come together... He's dangerous enough on his own. His threat goes up with each one he obtains exponentially. With all Six?

Game over, man, game over. (I really don't see how they're going to deal with that short of cockblocking us by denying him assembling all six.) Wanda saving the day is just absurd, imo. Their power compared to the comics seems even more ridiculous, tbh.

Also, man if he does get all six. I want full on batshit trippy Reality is putty in my hands, Time is my plaything and I turn the Laws of Physics as you understand them into my complete bitch insanity.

Damn, all this time Thanos was playing the game so long, you didn't even know there was a game until a purple Wrinkle-Face Wrestler smashed your face in with a board.

Iirc the trick to beating the gauntlet wielders was even though they are technically omnipotent and omniscient they had to actually know and think about what they wanted to do. IE poison would still kill them if they don't counteract it.

Nah. Like, they tried outright force with all of Earth's Heroes as a double-blind with trickery in the background and he curbstomped everyone while wielding all six. And that was with cutting off his godlike senses so that he had no idea of what they were gonna do next but still had unlimited power to play with(limited only by his imagination). Besting someone wielding all six has either required them to fuck up(subconsciously, as comics Thanos was wont to do) or crazy Metaphysical bullshit that ravages the entire spectrum of Reality.

I mean, some of it is supposition, but it makes sense. Thor as much figures that someone is playing a Game at the end of AoU, so I'm relatively confident in my conclusions.

He looks sort of weird without his helmet.

Normally his headgear offsets the size of his chin and gives him a normal if 'sunken' looking face. Now his face just looks excessively long. And bald. But that's hardly the only weirdness. He is wearing a wifebeater variant of his usual shirt with subdued colors, and his pants are entirely casual. His appearance keeps signalling "burly working class man" to me which is very odd vibes for a godlike galactic conqueror to have.

Thanos is sad because his wife threw him out and won't answer his calls. The man is a mess, so cut him some slack.

Oh, yeah, Thanos is a dad. Technically. Hmm...

"Thanos, I'm here to defeat you!"

"Hello..."

"No! No, don't you dare!"

"... Here to defeat you... "

"Don't you fucking dare!"

"... I'm Thanos."

Thanos is having "fun", so he prefers casual wear than a business formal.
 
1. Why does Black Widow look like Mockingbird when there's an actual Mockingbird in the MCU
2. This is why Thanos took forever doing anything, he was too busy watching wrestling and playing Halo
 
The HURT Thanos is gonna put on Hulk don't even be enjoyable just painful

I like how he parallels Kingpin in some regard, with Death being his 'Vanessa' , I want them to fight with their best but have it end up for nothing. Then reality kicks in and they get their faces stomped in by a big mean purple man.
 
THIS TEASER

AAAAAAHHHHH

YES

Also, I fear Tony is gonna die here. That's my one fear as he is my favorite Marvel hero alongside Thor and Starlord.

Also, Captain Marvel when?
