    I like Hickman's Fantastic Four and Avengers run but I really hate how he codified the whole brutish nihilistic overlord stereotype Thanos has been stuck in since 2013. Too much reliance on mooks and gory violence to get his business done, especially ignoring the science stuff which is usually he's very good at. Pre-2013 Thanos more than anyone (especially Doom) should've been ahead of the curve with regards to the incursions and would've been relentlessly pursuing solutions or the cause instead of pointlessly indulging his bloodthirst by destroying worlds.

    That's pretty much what Marvel does now in order to have a constant cycle of "event" comics. War of the Realms was a Thor story that they forced into a line-wide event. The same with Secret Empire and Captain America. And AXIS with the Uncanny Avengers.

    Kind of like when Infinity Gauntlet was originally supposed to be contained in the Silver Surfer series before becoming a Crisis Crossover.

    There are plenty of powerful antagonists like Tyrant, Graviton, Count Nefaria and Korvac they could use instead of a dumbed down version of Thanos for the 1,000,000tg time.

    He should stay dead while the REAL Thanos has his final adventure in the Infinity Ending.

    Imo thanos has been hugely overused for a long time

    For me he is nowhere near the presence he once was because of this

    I really liked him till about ten years ago but he's diminished for me

    I think a rest would be good, especially if it was for a significant time, at least five years

    There are other villains to use, tyrant, anialus, on the cosmic end for example

    I do like thanos but him being the villain or indeed in a book at all isn't what it was, it a actually puts me off a book

    I personally would appreciate alternatives for a while

    I would really like seeing the Avengers fighting Tyrant. Even though he has a pretty dumb ''edgelord'' design and a unimaginative name. Couldn't Ron Marz come up with something better than ''Tyrant''?

    Have you read any of Starlin's stories? He's actually a pretty smart and philosophical character.

    He's powerful and underutilized

    And it would be something different

    There's the stranger too, he's always interesting to me

    I really hope Thanos doesn't show up in the upcoming Annihilation story by Cates.

    This is the main problem with high writer turnover. Every new writer wants to write their "______" story, and so doe sthe next writer and the next. It is why some characters just get so overused they are shells of their former selves. Thanos falls into this category along with some others like Doctor Doom, Galactus, and a few others. Their should be a rule in place that when you come onto a new book you don't get to use certain characters until at least you have been on the book for a year so that the same handfull of villains would not be so overused so often. The Marvel U has litterly hundreds and hundreds of baddies jut sitting on the shelf not being used because writers want to use the same ones over and over.

    I think the writers are mandated to use Thanos because of MCU sinergy rather than having interest in the character. Bendis' writing Thanos like a saturday morning cartoon villain with cringe worthy dialogue and a punching bag for the heroes is a good example of not giving a s*** about the character.
