Not worst as in completely uncharismatically sadistic. Not worst as in an absolute hate sink. WORST as in horribly written, uninteresting, annoying, one note, has a annoying voice, completely moronic motives, or straight agonizing to sit through!

    MCU Thanos. Dude is a complete idiot. With the stones he could basically be a god and do whatever he wants, but chooses to half the universe in order to stretch resources… except that doesn’t actually do that. He halved all life. Most resources are themselves alive. And even then he’s only kicking the can down the road a bit. Why not double the resources? Why not fundamentally change life so that it doesn’t have to use as much?

    The comics version works because it turns out that his justifications are bullshit; dude just wants to impress Death because he loves her.

    I will grant that MCU Thanos works in the sense that he’s a tough-guy moron who surrounds himself with yes-men, which only enhances his danger. But I don’t think that this was the intent in how they wrote him.

      They wrong him like one of those alt-right philosophy bros, as if they could somehow make him make sense.
