I love that title and have read it a hundred times. But I wish the writing didn’t veer into archaic high-falutin’ language like it does. Some realism and modernity really added something to Thanos in the movies.

The comic had better writing. Thanos killed half the universe so he could fuck Death. He thought she’d love that shit since she’s, y’know, death. I’d do the same for a goth girl.

I - and since regretting it - rewatched the early MCU movies recently. The first time you really see Thanos mirrors the first frame, and the line immediately before he turns and smiles talks about how to invade Earth is “to court death.” Given the comic book version, I’m not sure they had the whole 50% motivation thought through yet.
I’m not sure they’ve thought it through yet, although I do like the argument elsewhere in the thread that Thanos did it to prove he was right, not to save the universe.

One of the motivations from the comics doesn’t make sense anymore. Remember that Death revived Thanos because she thought it was unjust that more people are living now than have ever died.
That’s one of those cool sounding factoids that people used to throw around but which is now pretty well debunked. They _couldn’t _ go with that for the movies.

They definitely hadn’t thought his motivation through by the time of Guardians of the Galaxy, where it’s stated that Ronan killed all of Drax’s people for him.

He was just jealous of Wade Wilson, who Lady Death actually likes. XD
