"I always thought [Annihilus] a great and bizarre villain and wanted to up his game and the stakes he played for to a level that would make him a worthy adversary for the Mad Titan." - Jim Starlin

Three observations:

1.) Somethin about the way Annihilus is drawn in this series reminds me of Zorak from Space Ghost and I can't unsee it

2.) Thanos in the last panel looks like he's got a wee bebbeh vestigial Thanos head growing out of his adult Thanos body, a la when Yondu cloned Shulkie in her Byrne series back in the day

3.) This is like the ultimate bad fanfic - has Starlin Thanos always been like this and I just never noticed it before?

Oops I meant Chondu - pretty sure none of the GOTG ever cloned their own hulk ;p

Yup, pretty much.

Starlin's retconned every defeat of Thanos, had him walk over virtually everyone he's ever met while lecturing them about how they suck and he, Thanos, is totally awesome.

He claimed that was a robot. Despite that, just like Squirrel Girl's series currently, pretty blatantly being for funsies.

I disagree. Up through his "original" death (in the 1977 Marvel Two-In-One annual) he was fine; even in The Death of Captain Marvel, it was a decent appearance (which could be explained away as the dying hallucination of Mar-Vell, anyway). Sometime in the eighties, Starlin apparently ran out of ideas--my guess is that he used them up writing Dreadstar--and that's when the character returned and became this smug jerk.

It's times like this I really miss the Annihilation days.

I mean it's a power trip and nothing else, but somehow I don't mind this as much as most of my friends here. I find it to be…...readable?

Err, they already did that, Starlin. If guys like you and Hickman didn't keep just kicking him back down the mountain, things would work just fine.

I dunno, I kinda like this. Thanos is a guy who goes around and gets stuff done.

We've been conditioned into liking it. I admit I prefer seeing Thanos Thanosing it up and kicking ass.
