WTF!!! ;_;
?????????
This is truly bizarre and…creepy? Parts of the delivery make this almost sound improvised? (Would that be normal for test footage?) Either that, or at one point, Thanos’ motive for killing Loki was written a little differently? I don’t even know.
Anyway I’m so tired of his dumbass face, they wasted Josh Brolin on such a poorly written villain. Just gonna rewatch Deadpool 2 and think about his sweet lovely crush on Ryan Reynolds. (Tbh I kinda wish Ryan Reynolds got to be in charge of the MCU, he seems to actually get it. Anyway, tangent over.)
This sounds like they may have been toying with a different characterization of Thanos – when they weren’t making a bullshit attempt to make him sympathetic, and he was just an evil nutjob with a weird sense of humor (which was how I wrote him). Not that the way he killed Loki in the movie was particularly sympathetic, but they sort of made it a “Greedo shot first” situation with Loki siccing the Hulk on him and then making that unbelievably stupid attempt to stab him. At that point, Thanos could be construed as killing him to avenge personal betrayal in addition to the breach of their previous agreement. But in this video, Thanos seems to be saying that he has to kill Loki simply because he has no more use for him – which is what I would expect from a straight-up psychopath-in-love-with-Death Thanos rather than that asinine “humanitarian” version they ended up pushing on us.
