dont get a damn about the inevitable comparisons its gonna happen so why worry. all i care about is Michael ironside does the voice
Thanos was terrifying IMO.
I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy yesterday and now I'm 100% sure that Thanos won't be a problem. At all.
He wasn't nearly intimidating and threatening enough and the film even showed that he's not someone people wouldn't dare to cross. The second villain (I forgot his name) did so and he was actually a wimp. For a character that is supposed to be a major cosmic threat, it was a bad choice to do so.
And even lookwise he's not that similar to Darkseid, actually he somewhat reminds me of Tomator from the "Lost Vikings" t::
To presume that this character would prove an issue to inclusion of Darkseid in DCCU is senseless. That is, if WB doesn't make a huge mistake with depiction of Darkseid and misses the character by a long shot.
By the way, I expected to like GOTG, but while it was fun, I was disappointed by it... I knew that it's going to be rather silly and comedic movie and have watched it when I was in a mood for something like that, but it seems that I simply can't get to like Marvel's humor.
I don't see how you got that impression considering Ronan was scared to death when Thanos threatened him & Ronan only had the courage to challenge him when he had one of the Infinity Gems. And even then, Thanos wasn't worried at all.
I wouldn't say Thanos was scary (like KillerWolf said, I've seen too much horror to label him as that) but I'd definitely say he's a huge threat. Even Loki was scared of him & deep down was worried about him failing. And he'll still most likely have to answer to Thanos for his failure later down the line.
But I do still agree he poses no threat to Darkseid, especially if he's presented correctly. If not, Thanos will just have one more notch under his belt than Darkseid does.
I honestly only saw that they tried to show him as a threat by having Loki being scared/unsettled by him and giving him the usual villains "threatening to end ones life violently while speaking about the matter like he's talking about sipping tea" scene. And even that line wasn't delivered calmly enough to have really strong impact.
Also the very fact that Ronan had the balls to challenge him, gem or not, undermined the character significantly. He should have avoided Thanos completely and disconnect the connection with him when he took the gem, not openly and aggressively challenge him.
It's exactly like Naked Bat said - we're told he is a threat, but we never got that feeling.
Ronan deciding to challenge him AFTER acquiring an Infinity Gem doesn't undermine Thanos' credibility as a threat at all, imo. It's not like we saw Thanos get his ass kicked or anything of the sort. Ronan just threatened him, Thanos ignored it & then Ronan got beat by Star Lord.
This early on, I don't think it's necessary that they go all out with Thanos to show how much of a threat he is. It'll be established in the coming films as we get closer to Infinity War.
so far, Thanos has been quite forgettable.

What indeed.One looks like this:
The other looks like this:
One is the unquestioned dictator of his own planet, Apokolips.
One resides on the outskirts of the cosmos on a little meteorite.
One wants to control all life in the universe with the Anti-Life Equation.
One wants to end all life in the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet.
Where exactly is the confusion?
As I've said before, this is a non-issue. Nevermind the fact that the two characters are entirely different in terms of characterization, personality, and motives, but the physical similarities are fleeting at best.
Comparisons are only being drawn because they're both monster-gods that are THE big bads of their respective universes. In reality, they're about as similar to each other as Palpatine and Voldemort are to each other. Same basic concept (arch villain of series, the center of all evil), different executions.
