Thanos isn’t a cackling villain who wants to rule the world. He is a grieving father, a brutal utilitarian, and a genuine believer that he is the universe’s only savior. The terrifying part?

The "outriders" are a faceless, feral army that allows for massive CGI spectacle. Captain America’s bearded appearance and the arrival of Thor are the highlights here. Yet, this thread also contains the film's most emotional beat: Wanda Maximoff having to destroy Vision to save the universe, only to watch Thanos reverse time and rip the stone from his head anyway.
