Thinking of brando in apocalypse now for thanos is brilliance. Kudos to josh brolin.

[@VormavNJD]

"I hated him, but I loved him" - this is spot on, and it's exactly what makes Josh Brolin such an outstanding actor and cements Thanos as one of the greatest villains in cinema history.

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

This interview was Inevitable...

[@SongofIceandTea]

Thanos in MCU is one of the greatest antagonist in cinema history because he's not just a typical "i want to rule the whole universe" BS, he has a purpose and actually a solid point, that we are all could understand why he did everything, he's complex yet pure evil at the same time, Brolin and The Russos doing great job bringing him into the screen.

[@justice_productions_]

Wait till the real doom shows up in doomsday… RDJ is just to get everyone riled up only for the BIG reveal. #mcuforever

[@jthoopers]

@@justice_productions_ you’re certain that the real doom would show up?

[@cccccccc44]

I could listen to him talk for an hour about playing Thanos

[@cameron1975williams]

One of the greatest villains in cinema history.

[@BibleAlivePresentations]

Here comes the greatest supervillain of all time, Doom.

[@brodude7194]

James Spader did a great job too

[@MoreSmartter]

@@brodude7194that’s true. He really did an excellent job

[@deanomiles9686]

One of the greatest brother. Kudos to Josh legendary performance

[@pabl0sauced0]

​@@brodude7194 Ultron was a forgettable villain of the week type. Thanos was built up to for 6 years.

[@ede91311]

There will only ever be one Thanos

[@tobe1207]

I thought there's infinite timelines

[@parsman9914]

@@tobe1207 You miss the point.

[@TheMonkeydood]

Thaaahhhhhhnnnnnnoooosss

[@Kevo1993]

Chris Judge could play a awesome Thanos

[@AFX_______]

There were 2 already in the MCU ☝️🤓

[@Krafty]

He nailed this role.

[@theyarnkitty]

Yes. We could see the humanity in Thanos. Josh Brolin nailed it!

[@onlyiforgive5083]

Knowing thanos has an apocalypse now inspiration makes it so much better

[@FoxHowell]

you know Brolin did his thing because his performance as thanos was just as memorable as any other MCU character with a fragment of the screen time that they had.

[@Rob-vk3ss]

Lewellen was a Great character You killed that role. And my all time favorite movie. The Goonies. You are a great actor. JMHO.

[@tbecker97204]

Josh was *THE PERFECT* choice for Thanos. Then in Deadpool 2 we hear, *"Zip it, Thanos!"*

[@peds8345]

Was a great interview

[@rolandogialdino9064]

This clip is a gem

[@fairwarning007]

Brolin would look totally badass in the cowl

[@marcussmith4913]

cant picture another actor playing that part. Josh nailed it.

[@cmel7841]

years from now they will study that character and Marvels genius slow burn of those movies. Thanos will be as iconic as Darth Vader

[@joebenzz]

Gosh i remember him in the Goonies as this kid doing pull ups or whatever that that thing with the springs is called.

[@SoChillGamer]

Hope we see more Thanos in Secret Wars or whatever else Marvel has. Josh Brolin is Incredible and Thanos is a masterpiece and now cinematic villain history

[@walemaybach8178]

😂 1:24 the Thanks voice came out there

[@Buzz_Kill71]

Ther will only ever be one Blade!

[@c-mc]

Nah

[@thecomicdirector8417]

1st there was vader, then there was voldemort, now theres thanos. Every generation has a iconic villain

[@noahhenson1669]

Brilliant.

[@justice_productions_]

The MCU is the best.

[@sammyhill93]

Honestly, Thanos, and Brolin’s portrayal of him, could be fleshed out in many movies or seasons on Disney+. Many would perceive it as a cash grab or a desperate attempt to boost the MCU, unfortunately. But as a comic book and movie fan, I would love to see his character many more times.

[@guslopez5053]

I did noticed that. It was like Thanos he was the good guy.

[@haloed-hero]

Brilliant Actor

[@stevenwhalenbarnes3299]

“They’re not comic book characters.” Ummmmm…. What????

[@yeetboi9817]

He meant he tried to elevate him beyond comic book character with the performance drawing cinematic inspiration It was clear surely?

[@jesses5465]

Would have been a great batman

[@christiansmith-of7dt]

Venrick

[@MoreSmartter]

He was SOOO good as Thanos. Can’t imagine anyone else doing it now.

[@Bogdaman2]

And then Marvel blew it and reduced the character to a cartoon simpleton with part 2

[@pk6546]

lol, now I want thanos with a cheesy joker voice

[@salvation7362]

Struggle or not, you still killed Gamora.

[@kennyoconnor6564]

Was Thanos right?

[@Theseus-e1h]

Yup

[@20thanasi]

THANOS ******

[@kwxl]

Nepobaby

[@FMJ777]

🫰

[@thedude8128]

And now we get RDJs witty spunky acting for Dr Doom 🙄 MCU is scuffed

[@SoloArt8250]

I don’t see Robin…

[@trexinvert]

This is Howard. Master interviewer. 10 interns doing research on Josh Brolin. Howard obsessing a whole weekend before interview. U think he will let Robin in on it. Howards goal is a vulcan mind meld psychology session. (recouping all his millions spent on his own therapy, always believing its an investment.)

[@timthegem]

@@trexinvert It's a better investment than Elon spending $130 million dollars to buy Pennsylvania for a dictator, only to find out it wasn't even necessary.

[@nevertellmetheodds9869]

Nah he got short arms he to short got the voice though

[@sheepboy2560]

The yellow jacket had a gun that shrinks people to mush. That should've defeated thanos.

[@Hurryupandpickaname]

The character was poorly written and the performance was stilted and generic

[@theemotionalremix]

Look at you trying to be different. So cute.

[@Hurryupandpickaname]

@ yet you had to respond to my facts

[@theemotionalremix]

@Hurryupandpickaname oh, did I make you feel special by responding? You're welcome.
