The short answer is that they had to come up with something more palatable to a movie audience than “I’m evil and have a crush on the literal Lady of Death.”
Wait… I never read the comic. Please explain
As a casual viewer I just heard basically “you’re forgetting he’s in love with literal death personified into an tangible entity”
I’m sure you understand without context that leaves me with a lot of questions.
In the comics, Thanos is in love with Lady Death (sometimes called Mistress Death) who is a personification of death. Thing is, she doesn’t return his affections. So, he kills half the universe as a way to try to win said affections. I think the writers for the MCU probably felt that was a little too hokey to fly with modern/mainstream audiences.
Thank you!
Btw my hair braiding was more of a union kind of agreement I violated but I’d argue anything a cop cuffs you about is fair to call illegal. I did it purposefully as well just to tell the story.
How you frame a story matters lol.
Is lady death an X-men style hero, juggernaut, or spiderman?
Born, stumble apon, or inflicted? That matters to me for some reason.
Lady Death is an anthropomorphism of death. The marvel comics version of the grim reaper. Not a hero, just a thing that exists.

Hah, came to comment this. Honestly, the comic got pretty wild, especially once Nebula got a hold of the gauntlet.

Ok, here is my tl;dr of the last part of the story from the comics. The gist is that after the snap, every remaining hero + Dr Doom do an all out attack on Thanos along with all the “cosmic” super bosses (Galactus, Chaos, Order, all sorta wacky beings) and they were going to win until Doom tried to steal the gauntlet and fucked it up. Thanos kills every hero and traps the all cosmic weirdos and then becomes the new “God” of the universe. When he does that and leaves the gauntlet sitting there, Nebula (that he had been torturing) grabs the gauntlet and tears the whole universe up and takes over. In the end, Dr Strange saves Thanos and convinces him to help fight/trick Nebula and restore the universe. I am sure I missed stuff, but it was pretty crazy. One of the more fun things I remember was Wolverine sticking his claws right into Thanos through the neck and for a sec Thanos thought he was dying until he remembered he could essentially just make himself “not dead” and then he turned Wolverines claws/bones into Play Doh.
