Infinity War: Thanos’ emotional depth and genius dialogue with The Avengers

The Mad Titan knows his stuff and let’s some Avengers know. Thanos’ genius teachings seems to show a connection with this adversaries. His emotional depth goes far.

Avengers: Infinity War opened this weekend and with it globally brought in around $630 million, according to Deadline. Did the genius of Thanos on the big screen will the audience to come out of the wood work to sit in that theater chair? Probably not, but the impact I’m trying to reflect in reality may be futile.

As far as I’m concerned, Thanos was pretty representative of the comics. His demeanor is not that of a pouting child, like he made comparable with Ronan the Accuser. He was calm, cool, and collected whilst on his crusade, with the Black Order in tow, to collect the Infinity Stones.

Thanos seemed to know certain Avengers. When he was taking on Tony Stark on planet Titan, the villain was well aware of Tony’s own genius by saying how he wasn’t “the only one cursed with knowledge.” From genius to genius, this makes sense. Don’t forget Tony is also suffering from his traumatic experiences via The Battle of New York. Tony’s trauma was reflected in Iron Man 3.

That said, you have to wonder if Thanos knows something The Avengers don’t.

He also relates to Scarlet Witch in having suffering a loss sacrificing someone for an Infinity Stone. He then mercilessly yanks out the mind stone, along with a chunk of Vision’s own mind. Although he’s just a machine, the parts inside may have well been exposed brain matter.

A very interesting event is where Thor makes his final blow with his new weapon against Thanos. He does cause him to take a knee, but not without telling the Asgardian that he should have gone for the head. But since hindsight is 20/20, it’s all moot and an equivalent of Thanos rubbing it in Thor’s face.

In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos is not without knowing his enemies individually. In fact, it’s obvious that he’s one step ahead of everyone. With the way the movie ended, it’s no wonder it’ll have a continuation.

Thanos is a villain that has that much faith in his own belief that what he’s doing is for the benefit of the universe. He sees true logic and compassion for what he’s does and this makes him believe he’s the hero.

John Campea, an avid movie reviewer, had this to say about Thanos about how he goes “way beyond” the villains we’ve already witnessed, including the Joker.

"“The best villains are the ones that kind of see themselves as the good guy. That what they’re doing is right. Thanos is that, but it goes way beyond that. He doesn’t just believe he’s justified in doing what he’s doing , he truly believes what is best for everybody and what is noble and what is right. And when you get that type of conviction into a villainous character that they truly see themselves as the hero and that at the end of the day everybody is going to thank him for what he’s doing and that they’re that delusional, it makes the villain all the more terrifying.”"

This is what makes him so compelling and likely the most dangerous villain in the MCU. The Mad Titan is that engrossed in his own belief system which makes him a force to be reckoned with.

Avengers: Infinity War is in theaters.
