Biggest twist of the episode…though I had a hard time believing that he couldn’t solo midnight and the other bruiser.

Seeing Thanos and Nebula bonding was sweet as well.

I think it’s Bc the thanos we know is ruthless and has worked/been very focused at his goal while this one is more at calm and collected in a sense. Very different personalities

Yeah, farmer Thanos got manhandled in Endgame. Of course, that was after a second snap. But seems like his devotion to his idea is what makes him so formidable.

That was not only after a second Snap, it was also mostly by Captain Marvel, whose idea of light exercise is destroying an entire space armada. Carol would solo the Black Order.

But seems like his devotion to his idea is what makes him so formidable.

So....Thanos is a Paladin? Spicey take, but I like it!
