Are Darkseid, Thanos, and Apocalypse essentially the same fundamental character? Does Thanos stand out because of his nuanced approach to life? What are you thoughts?
Thanos IS Jim Starlin's take on Darkseid. Initially he was going to copy Metron's look, but someone told him if you're going to swipe, swipe the big guy.
Apocalypse gimmick was very one dimensional for many many years. It became boring and flat and he kept losing which makes his message sound even dumber over time. I think the age of apocalypse storyline was the peak of apocalypse.
a lot of good writers really tried adding something to the character. I think Rick Remender really added time the lore with this Uncanny X-Force run and continued in Uncanny Avengers.
the “survival of the fittest” nonsense is way too one dimensional and played out.
Thanos is the most Layered of the 3. There is much more to him than just some space guy.
