Death Note was supposed to be that way originally, and Japanese film adaptions stuck to that.Also what Thanos can say that the other villains can not? He is the reason why the main hero died, Tony Stark.
Going by that logic alone, X24 is the greatest villain of them all.
Maybe the Joker might be more well known (than Thanos), but that would be more of a combination of Nicholson's Joker decades ago building a big base with the earlier generations along with Ledger’s version catching fire more recently.I don't think even Thanos is as culturally iconic as Darth Vader. Everyone knows who Darth Vader is, whether they're a Star Wars fan or not, while someone like my mom who doesn't pay attention to the MCU doesn't know who Thanos is.
But he probably comes the closest of anyone I can think of.
