[QUOTE="billd91, post: 7412315, member: 3400"] Oh, I don't think we do in general. There are a lot of ways in which the MCU movies are about the right way to use power. But there's no need for the Avengers to do anything to put Thanos on his path or make him as they did with Ultron. In fact, if he was somehow the result of their actions, then that would probably be evidence of the movies stuck in too much of a rut since there would be no variation on the theme. Rather, a totally external actor intersecting with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy feels like a more organic story and works just fine to me. We still have direct comparisons between the Avengers and Thanos in their pursuit and use of power - we have all of the previous examples of the heroes using the power of the stones in limited ways, controlling the stones' impact, giving up the power, serving as custodians of the power rather than exploiters. All of that stands in stark contrast to Thanos. We also have characters like Cap unwilling to simply sacrifice even one friend while Thanos murders the daughter he loves for power. More satisfying contrast between the perspective of the heroes vs Thanos's warped perspective. [/QUOTE]
