Everyone seems to want Thanos for Avengers 3. And me as a HUGE Thanos fan just starts scratching my head and asking why? Now you are probably wondering why would you be against Thanos being in the 3rd Avengers movie?
Here are my reasons:
1. THANOS IS WAY TOO BIG FOR AN AVENGERS MOVIE! (nuff said)
2. Thanos will need more development. The problem is, people think he's just a "villain" and I think fans of the character will agree he's much more than that.
He's a character that has his own reasons and his own motives for what he does. And I'd like the general audiance to understand this. That is half the reason of him having the Infinity Gauntlet. It shouldn't be, "Oh this bad guy gets to be really powerful and it takes a massive team of heroes to stop him."
Instead it should be, "Thanos gets ultimate power but true love and happiness are not bought with being all powerful."
3. If there is an Infinity Gauntlet film Thanos needs to be the main character with the others appearing as supporting characters. This is why it can't be an "Avengers" movie.
4. The Marvel Universe needs to do a few more things before going up against Thanos. You see how I said "Marvel Universe" instead of "Avengers", this is how it should be shown. To show Thanos is a bigger threat than the "Avengers" can handle. This should be an EVENT MOVIE.
5. Thanos needs his own solo movie. Wouldn't you go to a movie where Thanos finally gets tired of using thralls to do his work and takes all the stones for himself? Plus this could offer flashbacks to his origin and or childhood. He has a very interesting, albeit twisted life and it would be a shame for the general audience to miss such an amazing character's origin.
6. It would do something DIFFERENT! The "superhero" genre would have a truly different story that would actually go into the villain's point of view a bit. Sure, everyone would agree Thanos needs to be stopped but it still makes for a great story of why he is, who he is.
7. The universe needs to grow a bit. Plus we need to have more time with the heroic characters, so when Thanos kills half of the universe, the stakes are felt.
8. Don't rush! Let the story lay out naturally. There are plenty of villains who could pop up in Avengers 3. Kang, Red Skull, a new version of Masters of Evil, etc. They could even do an adaption of World of War Hulk! I mean, there are literally 100's of stories they could pull from for Avengers 3.
9. I know a lot of people will say, "You can't keep building up to this big bad guy without paying him off sometime." Well, having Thanos be the bad guy in the film doesn't mean he has to have the Gauntlet. Thanos is powerful in his own right without the Gauntlet and would be easily enough of a threat for a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie or an Avengers movie. So he could actually be a bad guy in a movie soon, just not with the Gauntlet.
10. He is my favorite villain. And I want him to be recognized as a Marvel CHARACTER not just a Marvel villain.
