Infinity War was amazing … absolutely amazing! Thanos is without a doubt the best MCE villain. He isn’t simply a bad guy. He’s a bad guy with good intentions and a moral compass. I can’t remember the last time I watched a movie where I actually understood and sympathized with why the bad guy was doing what he was doing. (And, no, Killmonger does not qualify for that. He was nothing more than an angry outcast. The only reason why so many people said that he was the best villain at the time was because that was a very, very low bar to jump over.) I will say that one of the rumors about a particular character is true … and I called it.
