Villain Breakdown: Variant Thanos

I have mixed feelings about this character.

On the one hand, it was a bold move after Infinity War to dump the Thanos we spent so much time with and replace him with a younger doppelganger from a parallel universe. Like. It makes the big confrontation with the guy in the third act feel a bit hollow that this is not the same person who kicked everyone's ass in the previous film.

Infinity War's Thanos goes out on top. He won, he eliminated any possibility of his victory being reversed, and he gets to rub it in everyone's faces just before being decapitated. He dies, but he dies triumphant, secure in the knowledge that it can never be undone.

But the movie still needs a climax, so Kid Brother Variant comes in to provide a third-act Thanos fight. Really weakens the catharsis factor of finally overcoming him. Wanda yells at him in fury and he's like, "I don't even know who you are." And he doesn't! He's not that guy, the one we actually want to see taken down! He's just some rando from the multiverse.

But on the other hand, I like Kid Brother Variant more than IW Thanos. The filmmakers learned from the errors of that film and are no longer trying to make us sympathize with him. He's a smug, self-satisfied prick who cares only about being worshipped for his brutal generosity.

It's a valid interpretation and criticism of Thanos's behavior in Infinity War, while still noticeably not being the one Infinity War was pushing. He's not really any different in terms of personality or motive, but now the film recognizes and acknowledges that he's a one-note piece of shit and not a deep, complex character. He is fully and unapologetically a reprehensible monster, no longer waxing poetic about economics but instead whining about the ingratitude for his genocides.

I love to see it. I just. Wish he could be the same version of the character, and not a replacement-goldfish plucked from another timeline.

Tony: Who are you? Have we met?

Thanos: I am here to destroy you, and destroy you I will.

Peter: Wow, that’s pretty dark. Usually people start off with a “Hello.”

The crazy thing is, if they would have let Wade join the Avengers then, 6 years ago when they rejected him (before everything went crazy in the world), he would have found a way to kill Thanos so easily, and so many others would still be alive.

I just realized that the reason why they killed Vanessa off in Deadpool 2 was because they were attempting to loosely adapt the whole "Deadpool wishes to die because he loves Death" arc from the comics without giving us an actual personification of Death.

Which is also the reason why they wrote a whole new motivation for Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War: they didn't want to write in a character being in love with the Grim Reaper.

And both work to each story's detriment.

Moral of the Story: Don't chicken out, let your character want to bone the bones.
