I am going to be referring to the movie thanos because the book and movie thanos have different backstories and intentions, the comic thanks is bad for obvious reasons if you read the comics. To start to see why he was good I’ll disprove why he was bad, the biggest thing is him wanting to kill half of all life in the universe, at first glance that seems like something evil but looking into his backstory you’ll see he had nothing but good in mind, his adventure for the infinity stones first started when every titan (his species) except him died from and suffered from overpopulation, after watching everyone suffered then died he realized he didn’t want anyone to suffer like that if he can help it, the best way to do this was to make half of the universe disappear, the people who disappeared felt no physical pain as they turned into dust so thanos saw that as a good thing, he didn’t even kill them because in endgame !!<SPOILER ALERT>!! iron man bring them all back undoing thanos’s work, also thanos and the avengers were both good, they just had different views of the world The second biggest thing is that thanos wanted to control the universe for himself, if he did then he wouldn’t have gotten rid of half the population of the universe, selfish people have a way of thinking where they thing that something is already theirs even if it’s not so if he was selfish and wanted control then he wouldn’t have gotten rid of half the people he would have control over, he’s too smart for that “you’re not the only one cursed with knowledge” -Thanos Now that I’ve convinced you he’s not bad I’m going to convince you he’s good with just a few sentences When he was on his quest he only killed people if they were a threat or if he had to. When he killed Loki he only did so because Loki would have killed him and he left Thor alive on purpose. Another example is when he had to kill gamora, the only person he’s ever loved, for the soul stone, he treated her like his own daughter and he felt like she was his own so he had to sacrifice her in order to save the galaxy. “The hardest choices require the strongest wills” -Thanos “To sacrifice is to lose for a cause, a cause that means something to not only you but the people around you” -Muhammad Ali Thank you for coming to my Ted talk /|=-=-=|\ The End \|=-=-=|/
