>>93238049
Because I don't like Thanos.

>>93238049
I no how read all good

>>93238049
What's this from, OP?
Is it current? And if so, why in the hell isn't it story-timed here?

Jeff Lemire writes it, with Starlin's blessing, of course I am reading it.

>>93238251

HAHAHAHA! Go on up you baldy!

>>93238233
In a battle between the two I'd seriously favor Thanos. Darkseid is evil as fuck but he needs a gang of underlings to achieve his goals whereas Thanos can solo really well. They are both crafty but Thanos seems like he'd be the one to think of every angle and pull some brilliant shit out of his ass when you least expect it.

>>93238347
Dobson is that you?

>>93238049
Well? Give us a reason to.

>>93238378
Thanos is also the one who will inevitably sabotage his own chance at victory because he's got no self-esteem.

>>93238049
They're eternals, why the fuck are they wearing helmets?

>>93238233
All Darkseid is good for these days is getting stabbed in the eyes, and made to look like a chump.

>>93238464
>They're eternals, why the fuck are they wearing helmets?

What, they don't have to breath? And hell, even if they don't *have* to, I bet they feel more comfortable doing so.

>>93238464
Thanos lost all of his powers and Starfox would eventually die because he's only trained his lust powers.

>>93238713
>it's a "Eros has to save a girl but he can't so he tricks Pip to do it for him" issue
He really sucks, doesn't he?

>>93238049
I was but I dropped it

>>93238378
Becaus Starlin Thanos literally can't lose to no one but yourself, since DEEP DOWN he doesn't wanna win.

So deep. So complex. This is true literature.

>>93238444
>>93238868
Whts up with this deep shit? Is Thanos really like this?

Requesting some thanos essential, please.

While serving in the Navy during 'Nam Jim Starlin, Thanos' creator, took a psychology course.
Thanos gets his name from Thanatos, the greek personification of Death which is also used in psychology to allude to the believed "death drive" humans have on some level when they inadvertently sabotage their own success, or survival, in ways that stem from repressed or glaringly apparent but often ignored character flaws.

Thanos also draws from withdrawn, enigmatic and contemplative characters like Jack Kirby's Metron and more appearance wise Darkseid.

The gems of the Infinity Gauntlet, originally just the soul gems, as well were redefined by Starlin to represent key aspects or aspirations of the human psyche. Their six holders as well, and how Thanos manages to best them comments on the nature of intellectual or behavioral extremes as well as the irony of him conquering through the flaws of others while ultimately being unable to achieve the one thing he desires. The one thing outside the nature of the self, whether or not you are loved by the object of your affection.

This sort of weighty characterization can at times seen as pretentious or pointless to those who are more accustomed to superhero comics with more reserved themes, but in the hands of a writer with direction they have their moments. In the hands of those like Bendis it's another story.

>>93238444
>>93238868

Isn't that taking things too far? The idea that Thanos will sabotage himself on absolutely everything? I imagine that for every step the guy takes there's not always a banana peel waiting to fuck his plans over.

Starlin loves his thanoswank which can really be detrimental to the story and other characters, but no other writer has so far done Thanos as good as him.

Also Thanos playing off Adam Warlock is is always interesting and probably one of my favorite relationships.

It's kind of like this

Except with more philosophical stuff and replace the Chicken with Death.

>>93242264
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggS2v2n_Q30

this is... scarily accurate.

>>93238049
Thanos and Starfox having wacky(read: trippy) cosmic adventures together is actually an interesting idea. They should play quite well against each other.

>>93240969
I agree. Especially because Thanos passed that stage after Infinity Gauntlet.
And it was applicable only to "egoistic" goals.

When he was playing not exclusively for himself, like against the Magus, he didn't self-sabotage.

>>93241612
>Because only Starlin should be allowed to write him, and then only with supervision.
PAD wrote a good Thanos back in his Captain Marvel run

>>93241624
I prefer Loli Death. Especially because she creeps Thanos.

cosmic marvel is doing pretty well right now despite all the gotg memes

>>93242577
Why the hell is Death talking to Thanos?

>>93242577
Eh I'll give child Death points for sort-of-originality, but I feel it was self-defeating in that she talks of not being a comfort, wink-wink-nudge-nudge-eh-Neil, but then at the end of their little back and forth tries to do just that.

Can't have your cake and eat it too.
I will say I liked the spin she put on her not giving Thanos attention, in that she's Death and his genius offering to her was death. It's like taking someone's stuff and then giving it to them as a birthday present.

>>93242584
If Nova hadn't died then it, this and ANGotG would be a pretty good line up

>>93238049
>where the sky is an ocean of black.

>>93242606
they did reach a speaking point after The End.

>>93242610
She's DEATH. She's not exactly good with LOVE TALKS.

Which is part of the appeal of the scene, they are both not good at all at dealing with feelings.

>>93242647
It's "as it began it ends"

>>93242647
Don't read line by line, read by the sentence

>>93242636
The Ultimates too

His eternal quest to escape the friendzone is a bit dull.

>>93238049

>It's this strawman faggot again

>>93238049
>Rocket made too many jumps again

>>93238868
Fuck off and killyourself already faggot, you still don't understand what that whole bit was about.
>>93239458
Basically in the end of infinity gauntlet, Adam Warlock, who lived in Thanos' head, tells him, "even when you manage to succeed you will always sabotage yourself, because deep down you feel you do not deserve this. " Not because Thanos is the greatest ever and literally cannot lose like the faggot above you thinks, but because despite being hyper competent, strong, etc, even when his best laid plans manage to suceed, he will inevitably sabotage himself. It's characterization made to make him seem more human. It's one of the reasons he lets Mar-vell grab the cosmic cube during that arc, and later why he helps him into the afterlife, because he has great respect for the guy.

He's not batwank levels of "he always wins except when he doesn't want to" he's more he very capable of doing everything he wants, but upon reaching the apex he falls, sabotaging himself subconsciously.

>>93238049
Because in my head canon his last appearance was in Marvel The End. The way it should have been.

>>93238761
Delightful!

>>93238233
You just posted the last time Darkseid was cool, which was like, almost 10 years ago

>>93240789
Just needs some good ol Freud and a perfect character emerges. Does Thanos want to fuck his mom?

>>93240969
This. people go over the top with the self-sabotage shit. In the page from Infinity Gauntlet everyone likes to post, Adam Warlock was saying he self destructs when he obtains supreme power. So in theory, Darkseid & Thanos would fight over control of the Anti-Life Equation, Thanos would outsmart & best Darkseid, take the equation for himself, & only then would he do something to fuck himself up. Which to me is better than having him ultimately job to the Hulk or the Surfer.

>>93238049

>>93238378
Darkseid just farts and destroys whatever universe Thanos is standing. Then Thanos mind starts losing due to Anti Life, which attracts the Gentry and then everything he loves get's corrupted and eaten and it's universal corpse used to build a machine of despair.

Thanos is a bitch now and he wants death more than ever.

>I am reading Thanos anon. It's probably the best thing coming out of Marvel right now.

Thaaaats not really saying much to be honest.

>>93238378
Agreed. Darkseid is much stronger and more powerful, but Thanos is not new to taking on enemies a lot stronger than himself. He is extremely tactical in a fight, and knows how to utilize his speed, strength, and cunning in order to both manipulate and best opponents.

>>93238444
Plans to alter the cosmic balance of all things =/= Physical fight
Thanos has beaten countless people in fights, and there's a reason he's gotten so far in his conquests. This argument is by people who read that one page where Adam Warlock was talking shit and nothing else.

>>93254546
The way I understood it was that anyone that can find the witches can strike a deal with them in exchange for their soul. The witches' role in the universe is consuming gods that are no longer worshiped by anyone so they can't go messing around with the important gods anymore.
