Thanos at the moment. Hope they dive deeper into the depths of Nolan's ideology, and his inner conflict. They did a great job in the finale, so he could end up better than Thanos if they do it well, IMO.
Omni-Man. There's an actual reason for his madness/evilness. And he has a true character evolution arc.
As opposed to Thanos's operetta style, mustache-twirling, mommy and daddy-issues-driven, idiotic "plan" for "saving" the universe.
Seriously, the big purple doofus's plan was using an instrument of omnipotence to halve the universe's population, so as to extend the universe's resources. He must have ridden in the short bus to not have realized he could just as well triple, quadruple, or multiply to infinity the natural resources across the universe without killing anyone; since he was omnipotent and such. What an f****ng idiot.
Omni-Man. Thanos has the presence of a big bad ( that part they did right at least ) but his plan is honestly pretty flawed. Not a deal breaker for me of course but Nolan has both this presence as an unstoppable force and good reasons for why he is the way that he is. That and Nolan's generally a far more interesting and nuanced character due to their motivations and his story arc seeming to take him in a far more interesting direction.
Both are fantastic. It's much easier to sympathize with Thanos I think. But the fact that Nolan is on the one hand so savagely brutal and on the other hand so conflicted by his humanity is what makes his character awesome. I guess Omni-Man if I had to pick.
I liked it more than I thought I would. Mixed feelings about the animation itself, it felt kinda similar to the comic, but at the same time was too cartoonish to me. In terms of direction, everything around superheroics was cool, but everything mundane was lame. Good thing there was more of the former.
Thanos is the better villain but omni-man's the better character of the two. Thanos was hyped up for years before making his first appearance. And then he wrecked all the heroes we had and achieved his goal. Nolan is a better character because of how much depth he has. Like the finale showed, his responsibilities as a Viltrumite directly clash with his responsibilities as a father and a husband. It's so gripping, just watching him trying to convince himself that his emotional bond with his son and wife matters less to him than his mission. He's much more brutal too. The way he nonchalantly walks through people and destroys the lives of millions to simply prove a point to his son is so thoroughly disturbing and really conveys his lack of empathy towards what he considers lesser evolved beings.
Nolan, much deeper character wo actually has an internal struggle between his humanity and what his society taught him
Thanos eliminates half of all life for? Nothing makes no sense nor does his plan to rebuild the the universe as using the gauntlet twice nearly killed him.... remains the universe would take a little more power/snaps then that
@mike_fowler: that's speculation, Thanos was damaged after the first snap as seen at the end of infinity war and was further damaged when he used the power of all the stones to destroy said stones, it was never stated destroying the stones made him more hurt, using the full powered gauntlet injures the person beyond repair as seen with Hulk, Thanos and Ironman, so your claim is headcannon
Meh, It’s ultimately speculation either way, because his specific wording is that using the stones to destroy the stones is what nearly killed him. That can mean either him being nearly killed due to being weak from the first snap, or it’s being nearly killed from the discharge that happens when a stone is destroyed plus the power surge from all of them being utilised.
Thanos because as horrible as Omni-Man is now, he's a hero at the end.
Killing thousands of civilians just to prove himself before not killing his kid justifies him as a hero?. Am I reading this right? Also, how do you think Thanos is the better villain?

Far from a moustache twirling villain lol. Thanos's plan to wipe out half the universe due to over population which destroyed his home planet. You can even see it in his face, he is clearly hurt and tortured when he has to kill his own daughter but it was a sacrifice for the greater good in his eyes.
@reemas: Yeah... No. Capital NNo. I'm running the risk of countering your valid opinion in a very disrespectful manner, so instead I will say I disagree with your interpretation. However, it is YOUR interpretation of a character and its circumstances, which makes it as valid as my own opposite interpreation of the same.
