Not everyone roots for the hero when watching a movie. There are some of us who shed a tear when we see the villain meeting his doom at the hands of the “good guy”.  Seriously!

You have seen him in Marvel Studio films like ‘The Avengers’ (2012), ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ (2015), and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. He is a super genius. Believe it or not but if Thanos actually trained his guns on the human race, it would not end well for us.
