According to Starlin he is a bad guy and "he's pretty upfront about it" but he's not unfeeling and he's not evil just for the sake of it.

As for Gamora

>“As things went along though, it turns out that Thanos would have been much more loyal to Gamora than just about anybody else in the universe. She was basically his daughter - some other writers have given Thanos kids down the line but in love with Death as he was, the last thing he would have done was to have got progeny anywhere along the line, naturally. But I think there would have been a part of him that would have been… tender to somebody.” — Jim Starlin, The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection: Gamora, Eaglemoss Publications Ltd., 2012.

The closest people in Thanos' life are Adam and Gamora. Adam is the closest person he has for a friend and Gamora is his daughter, and still he killed one of them and the other he left for dead.

Any other "nice guy Thanos" moments?

Chilling on his farm, and that time he tried to be a hero and stop Galactus from munching on a planet.

Oh, also that time in a "What If" where he sacrificed himself to stop the Universe from falling apart once he had obtained the literal powers of God.

I like it when Thanos is some bored guy driven purely by something curious that catches his eyes which he just follows and watches the clusterfuck unfold.

I thought that was cannon that got retconned? The whole "no more resurrections" was an interesting angle.

Yeah, there have been many instances where he's been the hero who stopped a cosmic entity from munching the entire universe.

Look it up, and you're correct. It was canon for about five seconds.

Any examples other than Annihilation?

Funnily enough that story was referenced in the latest Infinity trilogy that Starlin wrote. He must've forgotten it was non-canon.

>Adam is the closest person he has for a friend
I agree he's more forthcoming with Adam regarding matters of his current persona, but he does have Starfox for matters more past and personal.
But yes, Adam is the closest thing to a friend by choice since I gather Thanos can't choose family. He has chosen to spare them however, though how that act can be construed varies.

>Any examples other than Annihilation?
Starlin's recent series of Thanos and Adam OGNs that started with the infinity revelation.

It doesn't look like Starlin's Infinity trilogy is canon either.

Adam probably knows Thanos better than any other being in the universe, even Death. It's the type of arch rivalry that is almost tragic in how much of a kinship they have. Adam understood Thanos on a different level, which pretty much attributed to his victories.
Mar-Vell was more of a straight up opponent for Thanos, who Thanos appreciated on the level of having a challenge.
Gamora represented the things Thanos could never truly enjoy, like children and a family. His kindness towards her was always more of a tragic look at what he wish he could enjoy.
Death has always been simply the goal, a focus of his energies.

Adam was shown to be the Living Tribunal in Ultimates, but with current Marvel shit that happened the last event stops being canon the very next one so who knows.

>he does have Starfox
do you think he got an SNES classic to try starfox 2?

Thanos Quest pretty much spawned from Thanos having too much time on his hands, and reflecting on the properties of the gems.

Eh some writers like Ewing (and only him) did some nods to it. Ewing for example sort of created a theory about there being currently 2 Thanos. The original that was sent to battleworld was left outside of the universe and eventually developed a fetish for oblivion instead of death before returning to 616-8. The newly recreated 616-8 Thanos that was made when Franklin Richards remade the multiverse was the one from the infinity trilogy which ended with him retiring to Death's domain and living in bliss.

He also made some nods to the Living Tribunal being new (as in it being Adam Warlock).

>Thanos Quest pretty much spawned from Thanos having too much time on his hands
Except he went for the gems in order to complete the task of re-balancing the universe to please his waifu.

>Thanos chose to spare his family

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that. I suppose he may as well finish the job he started.

Pic related, Thanos acknowledged him as his friend.

The state of Marvel comics right now is everyone writing whatever the fuck they want and ignoring each other unless an editor takes notice or one of the writers gets wanked by the fanbase and editorial enough for the other writers to notice.

Meanwhile Bendis just did whatever he wanted.

This doesn't count, I mean him killing Sui-San was originally by accident and then he went "meh" when he found out then Aaron did that stupid retcon where he torture porn murders her.

If you look closely, you'll see that Marvel basically has three Thanoses. There is the 1970s Thanos appearing in the movies. This is before he got the Infinity Gauntlet. Then there are the Thanos stories I'm telling. And finally, there is the Thanos that appears in the mainstream Marvel stories. All three seem to coexist easily enough, so...

Infinity Finale basically ended with Annihilus being extinguished, and we didn't see that carry over. And Death basically kept jerking Thanos around during Lemire's run while she was glad to be in love with Thanos for realsies after Infinity Revelation up to Finale.

But is Josh Brolin method acting for Infinity War?

Marvel better get to that story before DC does the three Jokers story.

Didn't Thanos do something absolutely horrifying to Gamora when he had the Infinity Gauntlet. Like something even more personally horrifying than killing half the population of the Universe?

It was Nebula, not Gamora.

And he did it because Nebula dared mentioned she was his grandaughter and he found the thought of him conceiving insulting and abhorrent.

When was the last time Nebula was in comics?

He set her on fire in some Avengers comic when he caught her driving his ride (That big square starship he used to have, Nebula used it as her pirate ship until Graps reposessed it)
