Brolin leveled-up the character immensely. Thanos is one of the best movie villains of all-time.

@@versaviceversaHe was complex, but also noble. That's what made him endearing to an extent -- you could see that he was trying to solve a problem in the universe, not simply create a problem for problem's sake. And there are a lot of people who argue his motives, but everyone is arguing from the position of a microcosm of existence, whereas Thanos was looking at the big picture, he was trying to solve a macrocosmic problem beyond the likes of which any single person could comprehend. I know some people complain that it wasn't like the comics, but I'm glad it wasn't, because his conundrum posed a very interesting philosophical problem that extended beyond the singular existential threat, and that's why he will never be replicated again or have a villain remotely as interesting as him from any movies going forward.

Brolin saying that he loved doing the two Avengers movies is a big thing that I wish they asked him to elaborate on. Usually serious actors talk about how dull or mechanical the process of working on big movies is and how little “real acting” is involved, but here’s Brolin saying that he loved being able to develop the character and was encouraged to add nuance. It’s a a credit to Marvel for how seriously they took the task of creating Thanos and allowing the actor to bring his own creativity.

I think Josh Brolin's performance as Thanos is extremely underrated. Of course Thanos is extremely popular today, but people don't bring up Brolin's name like they do with Heath Ledger for Joker or Tom Hiddleston for Loki. Brolin's performance is right up there, if not next to those roles and I think he needs his credit.

The thing with Thanos is that he's a villain who thinks he's the hero. INFINITY WAR is kind of his movie. He's the protagonist of that film. He has a goal, and he's putting himself in the line of fire, and making sacrifices to achieve his goal. Thing is, his goal is monstrous. But he's such a compelling character, you almost forget that. When he talks, he's forlorn, like he's taken up an incredible burden even though he's completely insane and wants to commit genocide. You're almost satisfied at the end, before you remember "He just dusted all my favorite characters..."

Great actor. I loved his portrayal of thanos and tbh I think he was the best character in that whole thing, more nuanced. The others were a bit one dimensional imo. He was also great in no country, one of my fav movies.

Brolin citing Brando in Apocalypse Now makes perfect sense, and now I will never watch Thanos scenes the same way again.

I'm just so glad to see him back in dune 2

One of the greatest villains of all time… And in Pop Culture. Right up there with Darth Vader and The Joker.

It’s funny they didn’t like how he did thanos in the gotg cameo but I kinda did. The way they went with was better but his demeanor when he did cameos was also cool

IMHO, the last Thanos line summarized how Josh Brolin played the character, he could play it "cool" because he was inevitable. I didn't make the connection until now, but so was the villain in No Country For Old Men. They knew they were going to succeed.

What I think he did impeccably as Thanos, was bringing a level of intensity that really impacted those final movies. The previous ones were very much lighthearted and funny for the most part, but he made Thanos give that edge that made them more like thrillers. You feared him every time he was on screen. In Endgame I though how he said "you could not live with your own failure" and "I will shred this planet down to its last atom" just made you really feel he was going to succeed.

So I was chillin and sh!t... 😂

Thanos was always going to be the main villain in the first Phase of the MCU. Brolin, the fine actor that he is, was lucky to be cast in the role after Marvel moved on from the original actor (Damion Poitier).

That's fucking awesome he was doing drugs when he got the Thanos part.

Since when was it supposed to be a minor role? Thanos was teased as the big bad at the end of The Avengers and they introduced the infinity stones during phase 1 and phase 2 as well. It seems like that was always the end goal of the Infinity Saga

YEeEAH! NYEAH!

This just made me think “what if he played another marvel character-“ and then realize he already did 😂 Cable lol.

Great actor but also he has a very strong business mindset on portraying Thanos. Didnt know how much strategy was put into character development in retrospect to profit sales

Fucking dope

He was inevitable

Marvel was pushing for Downey to get an Oscar for Endgame. I think they have pushed more for Brolin to get one for Infinity War.

The funny thing is he/The Russos/Fiege/The MCU actually made the character of Thanos BETTER imo. Like to me Thanos or atleast what I know of him now learning comics more, was always awesome but he was one-dimensional. And his goals were hokey and only work in a comic book setting. The fact that rather than him being some crazy guy worshipping "the goddess of death". Hes instead a megalomaniac with a god-complex who really believes hes doing "the right thing" by committing mass-genocide on a cosmic level that wont actually solve the problem he wants to solve but he believes it will sincerely. Made that character great on paper and then Brolin hit it home with his performance. And no guys, "Thanos wasnt right" and his plan was dumb in that it wouldnt have solved the problem, only kicked the can further or actually caused massive ecological collapse. But it works if you remember he is a villain and a "the mad titan".
