James Gunn gives his (expected) impression
and a little insight on Thanos and his role in this movie:
https://news.marvel.com/movies/86544/thanos-isnt-wrong-marvel-studios-avengers-infinity-war/Thanos does not see himself as the Big Bad of his story. âVillain is a derogatory term that Thanos wouldnât agree with,â said Markus. In fact, Markus hopes you come away from âInfinity Warâ the same way you do with the publishing source material, âwhere you go, âI canât say he was wrong.'â He stands in a category all his own. Adding, âWeirdly, heâs the most understandable guy in the movie sometimes.â
[...]
âThe bad guy tends to be a foil for the development of the hero, and thatâs not the case here,â added McFeely. âIf anything, itâs the opposite. Our heroes are the foils for the villain, whose story we need to tell at large.â
I also am thinking of adding a poll:
Which Character Arc are you most excited to see in
Avengers: Infinity War- Thanos (and the Black Order - Bring your kids to work Day)
- Thor (w/ Rocket & Groot? off to forge a new path...!?)
- Cap (Black Panther, all of Wakanda, and The White Wolf?)
- Ironman (and IRonSpidey?)
- Hulk (To SMASH or to be SMASHed)
- Hawkeye (I hear he's got some new toys.... and yes, he's in the movie)
- Dr. Strange (Wong and The Time Stone)
- Vision (and Wanda? - The Mind Stone)
- The Others (Loki - Space Stone / The Nova Corp - The Power stone / The Collector - The Reality Stone)
