The Silver Surfer #35

"I consider [Thanos] to be an anti-hero…because he’s been the good guy as often as he’s been the bad guy in the stories. So I don’t consider him a villain. But because he’s not in that hero category I always found him more fascinating to write. I didn’t have to get restricted on where he would go and how he would react to things. I could make him not as appealing as I would have to make him if he were a hero. He could go off on his own little dark ways and it would still make perfect sense." -- Jim Starlin

You complain about the humans, Thanos. You complain about the salarians, but how do you feel about all those krogan and asari? Or the drell? The hanar? Heck, the batarians?


Sometimes I do wonder if Starlin just cannot help himself.
Like, he'll try to write a story about something, and without even noticing, it suddenly becomes all about Thanos.
(Hey, not judging. It happens. Sometimes you try not to write about someone because you're maybe using them too much instead of other characters, but they're the only ones you have ideas about...
Just don't think that's Starlin's problem.)


And poor Norrin. So enraptured by how shiny and brilliant and wonderful Thanos is, he can't even make a rational counterargument.
