thanos is the central character of infinity war,the movie revolved around his ideology.



What would the avengers do to someone with multiple infinity stones undecided



His intentions and acts was highly debated here as simply not grandeur or noble, yet Infinity writers are claiming it is.

His ideology was evil, which makes him the villain/antagonist. While the real protagonists, the avengers regrouped to stop him. Calculate all the screen time of all the avengers together with Thanos 29 minutes.



They would have defeated him. But they made a plot hole to further the story. That was why i said the Avengers were made to be dull and stupid in Infinity war. The plot holes was also discussed here.

There was chance to stop him, but they were made stupid and they were not the avengers with knew, except infinity stones can fūck with their brains. So not stopping him on titan was a plot hole.


If they stopped him on titan, then the movie would not continue so a plot hole must be created to further the story.

Lost cool against a mad titan with a powerful gauntlet and knowing that removing the gauntlet will reduce his power?

Star Lord is wiser than to lose his cool in that moment with the way he was portrayed in gotgs.

So Avengers were dull and stupid in infinity war.

Seriously, any sensible person would wait for the gauntlet to be removed before killing Thanos.

I mean, if a robber shot your friend and other people are in the process of disarming the robber, wouldnt the normal thing to do be to wait for the robber to be disarmed? Would you disturb the people disarming the robber so that the robber can shoot you?

The Avengers though were many are the the main protagonists(emphasis on the s) while Thanos was the antagonist.

Marvel can call him the protagonist in the movie, but it is up for argument.

To me Thanos was never the central character of Infinity war, it was the Avengers. And it showed n the way they all came together, even the ones in hiding. But they were so many many that most of the avengers were reduced to side kicks.

I mentioned this after i finished watching it, most of these avengers are powerful but marvel useless them in this movie, they were so dull and stupid in the fights and their decisions.

I have been asking myself if I'm the only one that noticed it.
Everybody seems to overlook it under the guise that Thanos is too powerful bla bla bla..
Avengers were to made to act stupidly so that Thanos could win.

Let me outline some of the stupid things they did.

1. Heimdal, Thor's friend tried to save one person by teleporting him away.
- He didn't save Thor...his friend.
- He didn't save Loki.
- He didn't save the Space Stone, teleport the stone instead of hulk, the stone would land in Doctor Strange base and Thanos victory will be delayed.
No No No...

Heimdal didn't think about these things.
Heimdal stupidly saved Hulk, a stranger he met the previous day during the event of Ragnarok.

Why Hulk, a common stranger.

Why not Thor your own longtime friend

This is stupid.

2. Stupid Gamora knows that she has something that Thanos wants.
The best to do in this situation is to stay as far away from Thanos as possible....STAY AWAY.
Even if Thanos eventually finds her, at least make it a little bit hard for him, delay his victory by being smart.

But what did Gamora do.
She stupidly went straight to Thanos instead of staying away,.
Thanos captures her and kills her to get the stone.
Gamora made the job easy for him....STUPIDLY.

Some folks would make excuses like, Gamora went to Knowhere to retrieve the reality stone before Thanos gets there.
But why go to the exact same place Thanos is going to when you know you have something he wants.

The best plan is... STAY AWAY.

But Gamora is stupid.


3. The development of Vision is also really, really bad. In Age of Ultron he is strong enough to wield Thor's hammer but in Infinity War, he has developed and updated to the point that he never wins a single fight against anyone because it fits the plot.

4. No one has explained to me how Thor teleported to Wakanda.
How did he know there is trouble in Wakanda.
Who told him.
No one in Wakanda contacted him and he doesnt know Thanos would be there.
Did anyone ever tell Thor that Wakanda existed..NO.
So how did he find it and how did he know to go there.
I guess the writers just wanna move the plot forward so let's just go with it.

5. Starlord lost his mind and went crazy to hasten Thanos victory cuz it fits the plot so let's just go with it. undecided

6. Thanos is a slowpoke.
Wiping out half of all life in the universe including plants and animal life which constitute the major resources for food is stupid.
Plants and animals resources he cut in half was not even enough in the first place to cater for the populace which is why he halved all life.
So if you are wiping out half of population and also half of plant and animal resources which is not even enough in the first place.
How did you achieve balance.
At the end of the day population still outweighs food resources.....still no balance undecided

7. Hulk is big green pussy because it fits the plot.

Let me stop here.

I'm tired embarassed

The only reason why I didn't give it a 10 it's because there's some part of the plot that wasn't just jiving, but every other thing abt the movie was just awesome.

I like Michael bay's transformers better.
Ah swear....Bumblebee was almost a Drama undecided..... with Very little to No action....as compared to the previous transformers

On Thanos being a Protagonist or Antagonist
I have beef with Koice but I still got respect for him. He forced me to do more research on this issue of protagonist v antagonist. Very few here can challenge me intellectually.

The honest solution is that everybody on either side is right- THANOS IS BOTH A PROTAGONIST AND ANTAGONIST.

I researched and came to understand certain problems causing our argument

1. The definitions of protagonist, hero, main character etc are not always set in stone.

2. The common assumption is that the protagonist is the hero or the good guy.

3. The protagonist does not always have to be a hero.

4. A protagonist can also be an antagonist (vice-versa)

5. Antagonist is not always the villain

6. The common assumption is that the villain is the antagonist


Considering number 3, I have to agree that Koice is right. Not only is Thanos the central character, he is also the mover of the plot. Thanos also had more screen time than any other character in infinity war. Thanos is the protagonist

However, considering number 1 and the common use of language (villain is synonymous with antagonist), Thanos is the antagonist.

If we were to use pure literary definitions, then Koice is right.




In summary, f4ck Koice. He is right but he is also an insufferable douche. grin

How was Star Lord supposed to keep his cool? Dude was still holding out hope only to be hit with grief and despair at the news of Gamora's death. I wonder if these people think losing a loved one is the same thing as losing a smartphone.
