10 Best Movie Villains Of 2019
2. Thanos - Avengers: Endgame
Thanos is a villain like none that have come before him, and likely like no others that will follow him. While the majority of comic book movie villains suffer from a one and done treatment, the Mad Titan was teased all the way back in 2012 and 2015 with Avengers post-credit scenes, and enjoyed a small cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy before finally appearing in a major capacity in Infinity War and Endgame.
By the time Thanos appears in the latter, he is a shadow of his former self. Broken by the power of the infinity gauntlet, the Mad Titan spends his days as he promised, not pursuing any greater power for himself, or using the stones to fix himself. He stuck to his principles, and even faced death with the calm of knowing he had won.
This would not be the last we saw of Thanos, however. The Mad Titan from 2014 reigned fire upon the Avengers of his future without a care of how many of his own troops died. He defeated Captain Marvel in single combat, pushed Captain America to the absolute limit, and almost killed Thor. Truly, Thanos is one of the greatest villains in the history of not just comic book movies, but the entire cinematic industry.
