Movie Thanos has one of the most relevant back stories in all of action films. He saw the universe as a burden amongst itself and with his order he can save it from itself. Most people relate to this. Even consider it a hero’s journey in many games. But what his actions are with this perspective in mind is what makes him a villain. And one of the reasons I think he is up there with Darth Vader or The Joker. A good villain makes the heroes win even better.
