[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8234435, member: 29398"] Yet even with all that, Thanos is still at all times the ANtagonist; the villain. Like any good story with a well-rounded villain, Infinity War gives us a good look into his motivations, background etc., but that doesn't make him anything more than a better-fleshed-out antagonist. A more interesting case is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. In the OT, Vader is all antagonist all the time until a final act of redemption at the end. But in the prequels, Anakin goes from protagonist in TPM to villain (and thus antagonist) in Sith, even though his character is what drives the story. (or one could argue he's an antagonist all the way through, we just don't realize it at first) Assuming typical heroic-PC play, the PCs are almost always the continuing protagonists and whatever opposition the GM provides are the often-short-lived antagonists.
