but i do feel the need to register a direct complaint, again, about thanos's utter lack of charisma. his concept has so much potential but his actual execution is giving me literally nothing. like oooh there's an ~insane~ gangster warlord on a floating throne in an asteroid field who cuts deals with terrorists and kidnaps tortures and mutilates children to turn them into living weapons who he then calls his "daughters" all in pursuit of a bizarre fanatical ecofascist masterplan to kill half of all life. and then he turns around and delivers mediocre lines in a tone best described as "mildly annoyed". no tension no stage presence no menace no humour no fucking pizzazz. MAKE AN EFFORT!!!

#space viking tag #constructive complaining #ch: thanos #and like you can almost work some kind of aesthetic out of the casualness itself but it just doesn't quite work #because you don't get the sense of him holding anything back?#there's nothing under the surface no well of hidden danger no monster he might unleash this is just. it.#he's a boring angry man with no aesthetic appeal. and that's all.#and if that's truly the intent then i understand and respect what gotg is trying to do in theory. but it is torture to me in practice #i don't care if mundane evil is realistic i can must and will romanticise ANYTHING #urghhhh. hitting him with hammers until he does something fun #i WILL give him an aesthetic whether he likes it or not #i just really WANT it to be building on something in canon rather than Making Shit Up #and i'm increasingly getting the feeling that that might not be possible
