Eternals Spoilers
..........
The only good thing that came out of Eternals was the confirmation that Thanos was, indeed, a Prince of Titan. Like bitch we been knew, but it is hilarious to me that Thanos is finally canonically a Disney Prince.
Spoiler me, tell me everything wrong with the Eternals movie
I don't really feel like going on another full rant right now because I'm trying to stay relaxed today, but I will say one thing: it, especially a certain scene, thoroughly destroys Thanos's whole purpose in being traumatized as the last of his kind, his connection to the Eternals, and his character history in Infinity War and the novel Thanos: Titan Consumed (which was SUPPOSED to be canon before they retconned it).
I see a lot of sources trashing the film for other things, but I couldn't really give a rat's ass about the pacing issues with the film, I only ever get salty about characterization and continuity. And all the wasted potential. It has the lowest rating of any MCU film on Rotten Tomatoes though (including the most hated ones) so that should tell you something lol
It may sound arrogant to say, but I truly do think I am better at characterization than the actual Marvel writers and the films would be better if they hired me to write them all because I would be focused on the characters, not box office popularity. But instead we are stuck in the worst possible timeline where canon means nothing to even the studio anymore.
It's okay though because I long ago made the switch to headcanon anyway so it doesn't ruin anything for me. I had to separate from adhering to canon for my own sanity, and for the sake of my writing (I haven't been using my RP blog as much lately because of hectic life circumstances and also other projects such as fics I am writing, but I definitely do still privately RP with friends so my Thanos is still out here evolving.)
Karma is a bitch and I love it.
(I probably won't be getting into or incorporating The Eternals or any future MCU movies into my writing and portrayal of Thanos, the retconning is just too silly at this point.)
I know y’all saw this parallel
Holy shit-
I just realized that
marvel’s what if is actually so fun. like yeah it’s goofy as shit sometimes and the plot of each episode has to be very simple and “villain of the week” style but it’s so fun. the first two episodes so far have made me grin like an idiot (apart from the sad parts sigh but those are rare luckily)
some examples of things i’ve ADORED so far;
BUFF peggy and SMOL steve and their whole dynamic
steve still caring about people and doing whatever he can to help them. he hates bullies and he’ll fight them, little guy from brooklyn or not
HOWARD STARK. THAT’S IT. THE WAY THEY WROTE HIM, THE WAY HE WAS PLAYED, THE WAY HE WAS ANIMATED. NO OBJECTIONS.
how hydra had a completely different plan, which makes sense, since it’s a different universe!!!
peggy coming out of where loki normally came out, shifting the universe completely
T’CHALLA AS STAR-LORD. NEED I SAY MORE.
the change of star-lord ACTUALLY being known, but not wanting it, as a complete juxtaposition to quill and his general cockiness
the ravagers being good guys and sticking together as a FAMILY!!!!
taserface, nebula, AND FUCKING THANOS all being good guys???
just the whole thing with thanos. again it’s goofy as shit and would NEVER be taken seriously in a movie context. but this little one-off animated episode?? ITS PERFECT. the little jokes about the genocide plan, his dynamic with nebula, THE “NOT CRAZY, MAD” LINE??? i love him. i love him i want more of him good guy thanos my beloved
nebula’s hatred for thanos in the movies being replaced with just general “ugh, dad” kind of an attitude. like YES it boils down the movies so much but WHO CARES this is all for fun!!! and this is fun!!! i had fun watching them!!! im HAPPY for them!!! more of this!!!!!!
nebula with long blonde hair,,,, actually happy,,, and cool and badass and,,,, yeas
carina getting her revenge on the collector and letting everyone he “collected” go instead of just dying… holy shit yes
thanos telling okoye about his plan and the “genocide, but random” thing being referenced…. god can you guys tell i really loved thanos in this he was fucking hilarious
i. i love it here. i love it here so much. i can’t wait for more. thanos!gamora or something similar seems to be teased and some loki stuff was in the trailers so??? very excited!!! can’t wait!!
god this show is just so fun. defo gonna rewatch the t’challa star-lord episode like. ten more times lmao
Oh hell here we go again
Now good-Thanos is a real thing AND I’M TOTALLY IN THAT TRAIN NO MATTER THE CONTEXT. Tbh I didn’t like how they used it in What if…? 1x02 but I’m very grateful for the development of such concept with that wonderful facial animation. Thanos being nice and joyful is my new favourite thing (keep in mind the last thing we got from him was the I’m-going-to-destroy-your-little-planet-while-I’m-enjoy-it-Thanos from Endgame which still depress me a lot T.T), and even if the plot of the episode wasn’t for me, watching him and Nebula actually getting a step forward in their relationship is almost therapeutic T.T
Are you watching What If?
Yes :) I don't always agree with everything that it's done so far, but I like it for what it is: animated crack fic.
@proxissima
I liked him, as his own character. It's quite obvious that the Thanos from the MCU could never have turned into What If's Thanos whether T'Challa was Star-Lord or not, but What If seems to follow a different alternate version of not only events but also the characters.
I'm fine with it, like I said this is clearly like a crack fic just for fun, so it's kind of funny to see what could happen when characters are more OOC for the sake of forcing the plot.
MCU Thanos wouldn't give up on his quest since it wasn't ultimately based on either logic or altruism like he claimed but actually trauma and madness, but I do like that they kept some of MCU Thanos' personality in What If Thanos.
For instance, how they kept him a rather brooding, serious and isolated figure. Even when he was socializing with the other Ravagers and joking around, you got the sense he didn't fully feel like he fit in with them, or anyone for that matter, and still carried that sort of burdened, depressed, lone martyr state of mind.
I also laughed really hard when he and Korath were supposed to be faking a fight as a diversion, but Thanos started beating him up for real as revenge for calling him Captain Genocide. That seemed really true to the spirit of MCU Thanos inside him, that despite seemingly taking Korath's insults in the moment with a mere pout, he would actually be taking everything in, hold a grudge and wait for the right moment to take it out on him later because he is patient.
So yeah, overall, like most of What If's characters it's obvious they were not paying much attention to Thanos's characterization (Korath, Tivan and The Black Order in particular come to mind as other OOC interpretations) in favor of the plot the writers wanted to do, but they still kept a spark of the original Thanos in this version and so for that reason I can't be mad about it.
It's not official and doesn't affect the MCU characters themselves, so it's all in harmless fun, just like a crack fic brought to life. I don't take it too seriously because I don't think it was meant to be. I think people sort of think it's meant to show what would have actually happened in the MCU if one thing was different, but I don't think that's the case.
It's less just 'What if T'Challa was Star-Lord' and more 'What if T'Challa was a Star-Lord and a bunch of other things were different, independent of that, too, like the Black Order weren't loyal to Thanos, Tivan got ripped, Nebula had hair, and Thanos was motivated by actual altruism enough to be swayed in his beliefs'.
To suggest MCU Thanos would have been swayed by any logic is sort of a spit in the face of his whole journey in the MCU as well as the suffering caused by the snap, so it's obvious they weren't intending to imply that T'Challa could have actually swayed him.
It's ridiculous to think no one had ever confronted him with the alternative of reallocating resources before T'Challa, we even see Gamora bring it up in Infinity War and he immediately dismisses it because he's completely lost in his delusions.
If he didn't take Gamora's, the one person he is proven to love, advice, why would he take a stranger's and give up everything he had spent thousands of years working toward? Well, he wouldn't. Just like the Black Order would never betray him even if he stopped being a warlord, because they worship him as a savior.
So what's the explanation for what happens in What If? Well, it's different versions of the characters messing around for fun with Cartoon Logic guiding them, and I'm cool with that :) I like both versions for what they are, I just don't like when people try to apply what happens in What If to the real MCU, because they are missing the point.
Thanos in What if…? S01E02 ↪ How exactly did you stop Thanos, the Mad Titan, from decimating half of the universe?

I miss you, dad!
"And how have you been doing, my child? Before giving you the space you asked for, I had hoped that I sufficiently guided you to the point that you would be able to flourish, but there is no shame in returning to me for help either."
Flourish? Yeah, I guess I did- without the emotional turmoil and damaged property, and definitely not arson! Stabbing people is out of the question, I've been real good. No help needed!
(cue an angel's halo popping up over her head)
I just missed you, that's all.
"I am glad for you, though I would not go as far as to say that stabbing someone is out of the question. That would really depend, Azura, on who is getting stabbed and why.
While I support you staying out of danger whenever necessary, there are certain circumstances where violence is warranted. I would defend your right to protect yourself or someone you love without remorse, even preemptively."
a bunch of old azzy stuff i never uploaded
OMG THE BLACK ORDER ONE
YES!!!! I NEVER FINISHED IT BUT IT LOOKED SO RAD
(Angels? Well, if Thanos wanna play god, might as well draw him as one. XD
Seriously, the biblical comparisons with him in IW are just too much, especially him being a prophet and martyr focused on feeding people who sacrifices his beloved child for the greater 'good'.
The Jesus comparisons are partially why I gave him the birthday of December 25th.)
