Something I didn't mention in the video is the fact that Thanos creator Jim Starlin said the MCU version of him was incredible. That Brolin was a great Thanos and the movies had lots of emotion. Marvel had come to him and preferred to use the imbalance motivation over the Mistress Death one. They were hesitant on using her because they felt audiences wouldn't get behind a far-fetched idea like that (yet). I mean, a Grim Reaper of the MCU? C'mon lol
As a bloody fan, I would get behind it! And I think most members of the public would as well. What is so outlandish about the female embodiment of death in universe with a fucking talking space raccoon?!
Because there being a Grim Reaper might be too odd or a can of worms Marvel doesn't want to open just yet. I don't blame them. They're introducing the cosmic/mysticism ideas slow which is smart because those are what blew the comics out of proportion in many ways. A lot of people might turn away from the shared universe faster with them in place right now. Patience is the best way.
Well we may not get lady deatg now. And may I remind you, thst the MCU introduced Rocket and Howard the bloody duck. The female embodiment of death being too outlandish is fucking stupid!
A raccoon in space and a talking duck don't have much influence though. They don't have the potential to unravel the entire universe like a Grim Reaper does. Its apples and oranges.
You do release that the female version of death is fictional? I doubt the general public would be stupid enough to believe that death is a,woman. It is a different interpretation and the producers could have easily think of a,way to make sure it made sense on the big screen.
@@Sucmydack mcu thanos is dumber than his comic counterpart and also it will be too easy for a 2 hour movie if mcu thanos had at least one comic ability
Great video, you know what makes endgame and infinity war so wonderful besides being them both being great and successful? Its that Jim Starlin love them both and he had a cameo in endgame to . He was with Cap and the russos in that therapy session.
Yeah I know I caught that - it was great. He himself has stated that the choice to use the imbalance side of the character worked and he didn't need Lady Death (Marvel was hesitant on using her because they felt the mainstream might not get behind an idea like that - a Grim Reaper of the MCU). He felt the emotion with Gamora was good too. He liked how Thanos accepted his fate and the end of Endgame and took it like a man. If the creator of Thanos thought it worked and got behind it, then I don't know why fans think it was bad in any way lol
@@ChannelNerdgasm Exactly, as much as I like lady death she wouldn't work in the mcu. The average movie goer that doesn't read comics would be like wtf thanos is destroying the universe because he loves a woman. I just love how the mcu combines several comic storylines together
@@ChannelNerdgasm yep, also people keep complaining about thor. They made thor serious in his first two movies alot of people had mix feelings. Then they made him funny people still got mix feelings. Even thor in the comics becomes funny but he still takes seriously. Im glad Hemsworth sign on for more movies i can't wait to see how thor closes out.
Yeah I can agree with you on the endgame because the way they developed him in infinity war made it seem like he was trying to do good for others so him just wanting to kill everyone and start over didn’t seem consistent. Him trying to correct what he caused would’ve made more sense to this version of the character especially
Channel NerdGasm true they kinda wrote themselves into a corner with that because having another villain for them to fight would’ve felt tact on because thanos was the only threat at that time
@@NinjaskKing Yeah. They didn't want to use Lady Death either because Marvel thought audiences wouldn't get behind the idea of an MCU Grim Reaper. Might be a little far-fetched lol. Wait until we get a few more cosmic movies or Doctor Strange ones before attempting something like that. They wrote themselves into a corner with the 'fixing imbalance' thing. It still worked though. Emotional.
I can take or leave Lady Death, but Thanos’s lack of his other powers was a huge downgrade to me. Still, MCU Thanos was a good version of the character.
I feel that the MCU slept on this thanos....dont get me wrong l enjoyed this thanos and loved the moves endgame and infinity wars...but thanos is bigger than all of this....thanos doesnt need a army or some type of black order to body guard....and he also wouldnt lose a battle to iron man or the likes of anyone of that caliber....thanos is a demi-god...hes cold, calculated, sophisticated, cosmically powerful...hes ETC....l feel that the movie thanos was dumbed down so it will seem like the heros could win just so it could seem like the heros could always win.... + the fact that marvel is owned by disney so kids didnt need to see a blood bath and or see there favorite heroes lose... but that just my opinion....
The best stories featuring Thanos from the comics didn't have bloodbaths. Marvel being for kids is a misconception especially when their movies have more emotional resonance than the more violent ones. If you look at the Infinity Saga from the 1990s, its revealed that he subconsciously wanted to lose - he didn't feel worthy of the power he had and basically let the heroes win. Its not that much of a stretch what they did in Infinity War/Endgame.
@@ChannelNerdgasm o trust me l know....that why a lot of people love the sophisticated thanos more than the war monger thanos...and the infinity saga is by far one of the best period...loved it....
He wasn't dumb down tho. What movie did you watch? Thanos won, he achieved what we wanted to and he was intelligent af. His motivations in the movie was also better than in the comics where he seemed more like a generic bad guy that wanted to kill for no reason other than impressing mistress death. In the movie he even told gamora that her planet is prospering like never before making the viewers contemplate if he really is right
@@caffeinatedlizard3593 what movie did u watch my good sir? cause the comic book thanos had cosmic power and mystic and cybernetic inhancements.....the one in the mcu didnt and only had power when he had the stones, the one in the comics doesnt need stones to take on the avengers.....and ur right thanos won, he won cause he had the stones.....comic book thanos dont need no stinkin stones....
@@NuggyPoundy1 THANK YOU!!!!!! My sentiments exactly. MCU Thanos is a blade wielding, short sighted, severely nerfed, warlord with a gauntlet that supposedly can do anything except stop a hammer when it’s thrown super hard. Where’s the Eternal who laughs off direct assaults with cosmic blasts from his eyes/fists? The mad Titan who turned wolverine’s bones to rubber and blasted Galactus on his ass who wielded infinite power on many separate occasions using it to its full effect? The disciple of death with Machiavellian schemes that could only be undone by their creator? Thanos is being who comprehends existence on a level nobody else can and therefore can do things nobody else can. What the MCU gave us was a buff Grimmace with slightly increased intelligence and a play glove. Fuck off
Comics Thanos is beyond every single MCU and DCEU hero and villain so he wayyy more powerful and scales way higher than MCU Thanos but MCU Thanos is such a perfectly written villain but it’s sad that he doesn’t have his comic powers like it would be very cool if he had them even if they were gonna be nerfed. Mcu Thanos on his own with no powers still could’ve killed most the avengers and complete his goal many times over… if he had his powers even if they’re nerfed there would be like no chance for the avengers or any hero to stop Thanos in the MCU as in the comics he destroyed many superhero teams in all of marvel SOLO with his powers but the avengers would still stop and end up beating Thanos because of plot reasons.
I’m pretty sure at the beginning Thanos was supposed to have some relationship to Mistress Death. But I believe that the people in charge probably for some reason didn’t see it fit to have her and changed it. I say that because in the first Avengers’ movie Thanos’ underling said “To challenge them is to court Death” then Thanos turns around and smiles. And just from that short scene you can already see that that Thanos was different than the one we got later in the MCU. The Thanos in Avengers he seemed to be intrigued, even fascinated by death while the Thanos we got later only wanted to wipe out half of life to make everything more equal for the people that were left with less worrying about recourses and how you’d survive. The later MCU Thanos was worried about perfect balance while the first Thanos seemed more concerned with death. The later Thanos seemed like he did what he did out of necessity while the earlier Thanos was intrigued by the mention of death. But that’s why I think Mistress Death was originally supposed to play some part in the MCU but was later changed and taken out.
They could still bring back thanos using Misstress death in the mcu. Just need a proper story with the cosmic side of the mcu. Similarly to how she brought him back to life in the comics. But not the Thanos Tony wiped out at the end of endgame but the Thanos which was killed by thor at the begining. And meniulate him to obtain power for her own means.
Sometimes when I hear about fans saying "X character isn't like the comic version in X movie" I think they forget that some comic book elements do not translate well into movies. They also don't realize that that a lot of the general audience doesn't know every character or history of the character.
I get where your coming from and yeah that's true, but you can't really say that. The MCU could go anywhere. If he comes back I'll talk about him, if he doesn't I might not. We'll see. The film version has strong motivations, but the comic one just has a lot more to work with. It would be a no contest simply because Baron Helmut Zemo in the comics has done so much more. It'd be unfair lol

Exactly. And the comics get pretty dumb/crazy sometimes too. They aren't perfect.
Yea disney could never put this Thanos in the movies. Too scary for them. 🤣
Baron Zemo comic vs screen
Great Goblin yes I can see that
I don't want to do that one yet. Not until he returns in the MCU (if he does). I feel he has a lot more untapped potential still. Its too soon lol
