I didn't like how they changed Thanos in Infinity War (spoilers!)
In the comics Thanos sought the Infinity Gauntlet and wiped out half of the universe to try to impress Lady Death, whom he was in love with. In the movie they changed his character like totally...now he wants to wipe out half of the universe in order to save it from overpopulation because his planet was taken down by overpopulation. So now he's got like a twisted altruism, he wants to save the universe. The moviemakers bitched about how the comic angle wouldn't have translated well and they'd have to spend time on introducing Lady Death and Thanos' thing for her, etc. So ya got a guy who looks like Thanos and has his name...but it's not the same character. |

Batman's still better. He would have known to post this in the entertainment discussion thread where it belongs.

They say they'd need to introduce Death and explain everything but honestly? They don't need to explain much. They only needed to expand one of Thanos's scenes in one of the previous movies; just give 'im a scene where he's sitting in his throne, possibly after the Ronan scene in GoTG, and give him a little flashback or something professing his love and desire for Death's attention and affections, a "Even if I have to kill all things in the universe I will have your (insert appropriate Thanos word for love cuz it seems like he'd use a demanding/possessive word)!" to the abstract being and bam. You've got it. You don't need to expand beyond that.

They're just being dicks. And speaking of Thanos? I like Josh Brolin but I kinda wish they'd have used someone with size to him like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson who plays the Mountain on GoT, and comes at 6'9 - 397 lbs, just because Thanos is a beefy dude and sure he's CGI'd but ... that's just me. |

Another angle of Thanos that goes missing without his Lady Death love is that Thanos deep down keeps feeling like he's not good enough for her or to have ultimate power...his weaknesses include his own huge ego but also his persistent insecurities, which might be his biggest weakness. Plus another angle of the relationship is how Death toys with him really and how Thanos sees how she is towards him as just his own failures to win her heart. But making Thanos altruistic, even in a twisted fashion...that's not Thanos. Comic Thanos destroyed most of his own planet to try to impress Death, he wasn't a dark Jor-El trying to save his planet like in the film. Really Thanos' various actions because of his love for Death, and the Death character herself, would have been real cool on screen and make for a scary villain for the heroes. |

Because 99% of the people who see the movie don't really know the character. Unfortunately for alot of people the movies are the first introduction they'll have to alot of these characters.
