It kind of pisses me off that they didn't play nice with each other. I can't see why the companies can't just take a lesser percentage on a couple of crossovers without Disney having to absorb everything.
Aside from that, I don't mind the cinematic deviations from the core mythologies, and I'm quite willing to forgive mistakes in execution in a film that's trying to do something different, rather than a film that plays it safe but still suffers from a few shortcomings.
INFINITY GAUNTLET pretty much hit at the height of my comic book collecting days. I'd already been one of the three people reading SILVER SURFER (which, I believe, was the third incarnation of the series, and the longest one) and witnessed the auspicious beginning of Ron Lim. Then Jim Starlin, whom I wasn't familiar with at the time, took over writing duties. While the series was always cosmically-oriented, even then I could tell Jim Starlin was taking it in a serious direction. Thanos was rebooted in the popular-at-the-time anti-hero mold, and it was hard not to like him. For my money, THANOS QUEST > INFINITY GAUNTLET. Still, it's neat the film managed to capture the same emotional progression where you end up being on his side just as much as you're not. I prefer that the film shifts the focus onto Gamora, which makes Thanos ten times more likeable and timeless. His obsession with Death feels so dated, to the 90s as well as Starlin's acid trip years previous.
