They totally changed his character to feel more relatable. This Thanos was a whole villain and you can just tell from the smile when the other says “to challenge them is to court death”.

[Alan_One]

Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, "Avengers...unruly wretches."

[noahjones]

I think thanos might have been grinning because he actually did court death, literally. He even pledged his love to her

[Epsilonsama]

This clip shows that they had no plan about Thanos other than he wants the Infinity Stones. I imagine the directors of each movie that mentioned him or used him just were told the gist of his Comic book character until Infinity Wars decided to developed him into something different from the Comics.

2012: Thanos first appearance
2021: Kang first appearance

[Eternaldarkness]

I didn't even know who Thanos was yet and I was excited for this scene

[SwordoftheLearned]

"They are unruly and therefore cannot be ruled. To challenge them is to court... death" one of the greatest lines written and line deliveries in the entire MCU

[isaacclarke]

The background music when Thanos looks back and grins is very menacing

[_UNIVERSE]

"Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives."

[midrashevra]

This scene is the reason why I believe Thanos' real intention weren't revealed in Infinity War. "To challenge them is to court DEATH" is a foreshadow. That's why he wanted to wipe out half the universe

[ricardoortiz]

Fun Fact: Damion Poitier plays the uncredited Thanos in The Avengers, who also played one of Crossbones’s mercenaries in Captain America: Civil War.

I love this revision of the Other's opinion.
He thought a single Aesir leading the Chitauri could conquer earth and just sent their troops to ransack the place (the strategies used by the chitauri, if any, are highly questionable).
And then 5 humans (3 of which are perfectly normal, if well-equipped), a single Aesir, and a relative handful of national guardsmen manage to hold the line until one of them throws a nuke at them.

Always love it when humans get to be the orcs in a sci-fi story.

[ryanstauffer]

When I saw this, I definitely was freaking out. But only because I actually thought this was Red Skull. I was thinking "He's alive! He was sent to space and is alive!" Of course, when I saw this, I didn't acknowledge that this guy had a nose here since Red Skull didn't. I am glad that we got to see him in Infinity War and Endgame. And this definitely was a good way to set up Thanos.

[mylobage]

This dude warmed Thanos, now he has been courted.

[Ryofire]

In case it hasn't been said already, this is totally a reference to the personification of death in the comics. The fact that he smiled when The Other mentioned death.

[October-swpt]

So weird to see a human-sized Thanos with a clearly "human" hand.

[reemosama]

His turn around then the smile menacing he is way scarier then the other one more intimidating this one should of been in iw and endgame thanks Damion Poitier for this classic scene

[blinkonceonsunday]

It is pretty clear that the original plan for Infinity War was supposed to involve the Marvel entity Death. This actually makes Hela's appearance in Thor Ragnarok seem more than just a coincidence. As if they originally planned to use her as the Death entity that Thanos wanted to woo. I think Thanos was meant to rescue her at the end of Thor Ragnarok as part of the lead-in to Infinity War. Then Cate Blanchett likely would have had a role in that movie.

[ChildofC-]

I loved this scene! Thanos should’ve listened!

[TaliaIGhul]

The Other: Well, he can't say he wasn't cautioned.
