popularity-wise, I think so.

but he's not close to being the best, or the best-written, IMO.

The fact that a single character could get 48% of the poll results kinda proves that he is, tbh.

Can't think of any other single villain that made more of an impact.

Kinda flawed argument.

He made an impact because he was hyped and shoved down throats for a decade and then killed everyone

If you made a goldfish do that then they would have "made an impact "

Right so the question was "who is the villain of the decade", not "who is the best written villain of the decade", or "who had the best backstory of the decade", or "who was the nastiest of the decade", etc.

We could safely argue that Justin Bieber was the king of pop of the 2010s, for example. Doesn't mean I ever want to listen to a single goddamn song of his.

That's the same question

By your logic The Big Bang theory is the best TV show ever made because it had good marketing

Nah, hes right. Thanos isnt that great of a villain. He has a good showing in Infinity War but not in Endgame. Besides, hes nothing if Marvel properly adapts Doctor Doom.

No one said anything about "best", but if you asked me "what was one of the biggest or most culturally relevant american sitcoms of the late 2000s" i'd absolutely include Big Bang theory in there.

Thanos was a pretty boring villain apart from like five minutes in Infinity War

That said off the top of my head I can't particularly think of many better villains of the last decade. Leo in Django Unchained springs to mind as an example.

That Russian dude from AoU was a better villain than thanos. Dude had no powers and destroyed the avengers almost singlehandedly.

what Russian dude? Klaue?

Considering that Thanos' quotes alone sparked tons of memes (in the midst of this decade of the meme), yeah I'd say he's the villain of the decade.

Also I keep seeing people say that Infinity War Thanos is great and Endgame Thanos is trash. You guys realize it's two different versions of him, right? With two completely different ideologies. Also what exactly did you not like about Endgame Thanos? I thought he was pretty badass. He whooped the the shit out of the big 3 WITHOUT any stones. You knew he was going to lose and die at the end of the movie. Just curious what the haters expectations were...If anything Infinity War Thanos went out like a bitch and his early death undid all the built up awesomeness from Infinity War.

The "Russian dude" you are referring to, I believe, is Zemo, a Sokovian, in Civil War, not AoU. But yeah, a bad MF for sure.

As for Thanos:

I'm glad someone brought up the difference between IW & Endgame.

IW Thanos had the journey of gathering the Stones. He collected the Power Stone off-screen, and then when he got the Space Stone and all of a sudden he has more Infinity Stones than anyone in history, that's when the quest began to change and humble him. Then of course when he got the Soul Stone, it broke a part of him, but because he's such a good character and he was so driven, of course he had to continue, and actually fight a bit for the last 2 Stones. By the time the Gauntlet was complete, he was just like "lemme get this fuckin thing done."

Endgame Thanos was a totally different character. He never went through the "humbling" process of the the Infinity Stones quest. He just realized getting them was in his future, and also where he could go to just get them all at once. Simply getting to skip the Soul Stone part makes a huge difference in the 2 versions of the character.

THEN, with no Stones, we get to see just how much of a villain, and how much of a terrifying badass he actually was. The Hulk beatdown in IW was just a sneak preview. Yes, in that brief fight he had the Power Stone, but didn't use it nor did he need to use it.

Whether Thanos is "Villain of the Decade" is a big question, and I don't have time to fully consider it right now, but he absolutely deserves consideration.
