I never got into comic books as a kid, which is surprising because I'm basically the target audience. As the Thanos story was ramping up, I went back to the comics to see what the origin of this Mad Titan and his gauntlet was all about.
You read like 4 pages of it and there no nuance, there's no reading into it, there's no allegory or reading between the lines ... Thanos was simping over a skeleton and was mad because she kept ghosting him.
I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am.
IIRC they eventually added the back story that his psychic brother wanted to make him feel better when their dog died when they were kids, so Thanos' brother did some psychic shit to make Thanos OK with death. And that turned into a fetish come puberty.
Tbh can't remember how much of that I'm pulling out of my ass.
Little one, it’s a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources, finite… if life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction.

Why is Death is a skeleton that can ghost? Is Thanos stupid?
Return to me again empty handed... And I will bathe the starways in your blood.

What's wrong, little one?
To challenge them is to court Death
I get why they didn't do it, but we really missed out on CGI Thanos pointing at a CGI Death and winking leeringly at a bewildered Robert Downey
BOY! I would reconsider your current course!
Honestly, wanting to bang a skeleton makes more sense.
"You wanna talk about Death? How about the one that looked at you and swiped left?"
Robert J Oppenheimer vs Thanos.
BOY! I would reconsider your current course!
Thanos is the hero
