Show notes provided by Arco EspositoReturn of ThanosI am just going to come out and say it, Thanos was, and always will be, my favorite Marvel Villain. From his menacing look to the way you think he sounds in the comics (a deep growl obviously) to the way he’s written, he encompasses what a true cosmic threat is supposed to be.
