Magus is...not a terrible villain I suppose. I liked the whole In-Betweener stuff where he had to ensure Warlock would turn into him. I re-read Infinity War recently (shortly after reading the Avengers v. Thanos trade and re-reading Gauntlet), and War is really kind of blah.
There's definitely something to his desire to be more than just Adam Warlock's shadow later on. I get the sense that Gauntlet was never conceived as a trilogy (it works better as the last part rather than the first) and Jim Starlin didn't really have anything substantive left to say on Warlock, Thanos and friends.
I like the idea of the Magus and the original Starlin stories are great.
The bold I agree with a lot. Gauntlet is one of the best crossovers of it's era but the two follow up series are so "blah" it's not funny.
