Definitely looks like they got the same guy who designed Thor's armor to design Thanos'. They'll probably redesign the majority of Thanos when they get a more recognizable actor to play him, though.

I think that Thanos looks good, but he needs to be a bit bulkier

i didn't like the shield cap was using in that first vid

Thanos, man, is great looking. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing Thanos in Gaurdians of the Galaxy and future MCU films. His face in the 1st pic is pretty [frick]ing scary. Especially the eyes, man.

TheAmazingSpidey63 - 9/26/2012, 6:27 PM
I agree with @yoss, here. The vid that showcased the fight sequences between Iron-Man, Captain America, and Thor would've been cool if they added that in The Avengers. Still, I enjoyed/loved the film. :)

Also, I love that they gave Thanos an armor attire, not cloth material. All in all, a great design for Thanos.


Bad@$$. :)

I have to admit I'm not too excited about guardians
I mean a talking raccoon and a talking tree?
Not something I thought would ever be considered for a film
But I can't wait to see Thanos tearing shit up in a big motion picture

@Jon - Hear, hear, bro. Fantastic designs from brilliant minds. Thank you again, people at Marvel.

Why did they make him look like he was a cross dresser posing in his new dress in that first full body photo

Straight badass. I cant wait to see Thanos full fledged in the future installments.

I would have loved to see that fight in live action I feel like cap got kinda shafted in the fight between the big 3

Badass! I kinda like that they made the chin part look a bit like a beard...very creative take I say!

the Cap & Iron Man vs Thor fight is better here. Why'd they cut it down? The "You want me to put the hammer down?" line was lame anyways.

The Mad Titan, bitch! Hopefully, he'll get an upgrade in GotG cause he looked a little puny in the Avengers.

Thanos looks awesome. Watched the movie for the second time last night at home, and I was able to be a bit more critical of it. First time I saw it I was caught up in the moment and was honestly blown away...but...after watching it at home in HD (which to me makes things look too sterile and...um...shitty I guess) I was a little less impressed with some of the sets. In particular, the opening scene in space seemed almost a little too "television" as opposed to "cinema", as did all of the following space scenes. I dunno. Guess I'm hoping that in the next movie Joss picks up on that and makes the sets look less like "sets" maybe? Don't get me wrong, I love this movie and I'm totally rooting for this to be the most successful franchise ever, but I would be remiss if I didn't voice my criticisms toward this one as I do with any other cbm I care about. A little less "Buffy" maybe, because I can still kind of smell "Buffy" on this one and I hate "Buffy". Sorry had to say it.

@Bigred20...,im right there with you. The talking racoon just seems beyond stupid. The tree too. Wish they woulda done Thunderbolts, Dark Avengerd,etc. Adding these guys to an Avengers movie is something i dont want to see...

Thanos design is great. I really liked all the fights they did as well. They really worked hard on this. Wish that Thor and Cap had of fought a bit more like in the CG render, but still it was great the way it was.

I gotta admit, I love this second screen stuff. We downloaded it onto our Kindle Fire and our Galaxy S2's.

The tablet stuff brings up extras and behind the scenes cuts while the movie plays. Haven't seen how it interacts with our phones yet, but if it's the same set up as SWATH (where it basically just turns your phone into a remote) then we'll just stick to the Fire.
